Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 24, 2009, United Air Lines, Inc. (“United”) and Wilmington Trust Company, as subordination agent and pass through trustee (the “Trustee”) under the two pass through trusts (each, a “Trust”) formed by United, entered into the Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 24, 2009 (the “Note Purchase Agreement”). The Note Purchase Agreement provides for the issuance by United of equipment notes (the “Equipment Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $810,337,000. The payment obligations of United under the Equipment Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by UAL Corporation (the “Company”). Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, the Trustee agreed to purchase Equipment Notes issued under a Trust Indenture and Mortgage with respect to each aircraft (each, an “Indenture” and, collectively, the “Indentures”), entered into by United and Wilmington Trust Company, as mortgagee.

Each Indenture contemplates the issuance of the Equipment Notes in two series: Series A, bearing interest at a stated interest of 9.750% per annum in the aggregate principal amount equal to $697,731,000, and Series B, bearing interest at a stated interest of 12.000% per annum in the aggregate principal amount equal to $112,606,000. The Equipment Notes will be purchased by the Trustee for each Trust using the proceeds from the sale of pass through certificates, Series 2009-2A and Series 2009-2B (collectively, the “Certificates”).

Pending the purchase of the Equipment Notes, the proceeds from the sale of the Certificates were placed in escrow by the Trustee pursuant to a separate escrow and paying agent agreement for the benefit of the certificate holders of each Trust, each dated as of November 24, 2009, among Wilmington Trust Company, in its capacity as escrow agent in respect of each Trust and in its capacity as paying agent on behalf of the escrow agent, the Trustee and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated and Goldman, Sachs & Co., as the underwriters. The escrowed funds were deposited with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. under a separate deposit agreement for each Trust, each dated as of November 24, 2009, between Wilmington Trust Company, as escrow and paying agent, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as depositary, relating to the Certificates.

The interest on the Equipment Notes is payable semi-annually on each January 15 and July 15, beginning on July 15, 2010. The principal payments on the Equipment Notes are scheduled on January 15 and July 15 in certain years, beginning on July 15, 2010. The final payments will be due on January 15, 2017 in the case of the Series A Equipment Notes and January 15, 2016 in the case of the Series B Equipment Notes. The maturity of the Equipment Notes may be accelerated upon the occurrence of certain events of default, including failure by United to make payments under the applicable Indenture when due or to comply with certain covenants, as well as certain bankruptcy events involving United. The Equipment Notes issued with respect to each aircraft will be secured by a lien on such aircraft and will also be cross-collateralized by other aircraft financed pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement.

The Certificates were offered pursuant to the Prospectus Supplement, dated November 16, 2009 (the “Prospectus Supplement”), to the Prospectus, dated June 19, 2007, which forms a part of the Company’s and United’s automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-143865) (the “Registration Statement”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 19, 2007.

The foregoing description of these agreements and instruments is qualified in its entirety by reference to these agreements and instruments, copies of which are filed herewith as exhibits and are incorporated by reference herein. For a more detailed description of the agreements and instruments entered into by the Company and United with respect to the Certificates, see the disclosure under the captions “Description of the Certificates,” “Description of the Deposit Agreements,” “Description of the Escrow Agreements,” “Description of the Liquidity Facilities,” “Description of the Intercreditor Agreement” and “Description of the Equipment Notes” contained in the Prospectus Supplement.

(v) neither the execution and delivery of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and the Related Pass Through Trust Agreement, nor the consummation by the parties thereto of the transactions contemplated to be consummated thereunder on the date thereof, will violate any law or governmental rule or regulation of the State of New York or the United States of America known to such counsel to be applicable to the transactions contemplated by the Assignment and Assumption Agreement; and

(b) The Trustee and the Company shall have received (x) a copy of the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Related Trustee certified as of the Transfer Date by the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of such institution and (y) a copy of the filing (including all attachments thereto) made by the institution serving as the Related Trustee with the Office of the Superintendent, State of New York Banking Department for the qualification of the Related Trustee under Section 131(3) of the New York Banking Law.

No additional interest shall accrue on the Applicable Certificates after the Distribution Date specified in the first written notice.

Fractional Undivided Interest in the United Air Lines Pass Through Trust 2009-2A-O (the “Trust”) created by Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee (the “Trustee”), pursuant to a Pass Through Trust Agreement, dated as of June 26, 2007 (the “Basic Agreement”), between the Trustee and United Air Lines, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), as supplemented by Trust Supplement No. 2009-2A-O thereto, dated as of November 24, 2009 (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 “United Air Lines Pass Through Certificates, Series 2009-2A-O” (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 certain Equipment Notes, the Parent Guarantee with respect to such Equipment Notes and all rights of the Trust to receive payments under the Intercreditor Agreement and the Liquidity Facility (the “Trust Property”). Each issue of the Equipment Notes is secured by, among other things, a security interest in an Aircraft 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 January 15 and July 15 of each year (a “Regular Distribution Date”) commencing July 15, 2010, 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 Notes 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 Notes 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 Notes, 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 Regular Distribution Date or 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 Regular Distribution Date or 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.

 

EXHIBIT A

Page 2


[Trust Supplement No. 2009-2A-O]

 

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.

 

EXHIBIT A

[Trust Supplement No. 2009-2A-O]

 

Under certain circumstances set forth in Section 7.01 of the Trust Supplement, all of Trustee’s right, title and interest to the Trust Property may be assigned, transferred and delivered to the Related Trustee of the Related Trust pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption Agreement. Upon the effectiveness of such Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the “Transfer”), the Trust shall be terminated, the Certificateholders shall receive beneficial interests in the Related Trust in exchange for their interests in the Trust equal to their respective beneficial interests in the Trust, the Certificates representing Fractional Undivided Interests in the Trust shall be deemed for all purposes of the Agreement and the Related Pass Through Trust Agreement to be certificates representing the same fractional undivided interests in the Related Trust and its trust property. Each Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate or a beneficial interest herein, agrees to be bound by the Assignment and Assumption Agreement and subject to the terms of the Related Pass Through Trust Agreement as a Certificateholder thereunder. From and after the Transfer, unless and to the extent the context otherwise requires, references herein to the Trust, the Agreement and the Trustee shall constitute references to the Related Trust, the Related Pass Through Trust Agreement and the trustee of the Related Trust, respectively.

The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in minimum denominations of $1,000 Fractional Undivided Interest and integral multiples 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 or hold 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.

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.

WHEREAS, as of the Transfer Date, the Related Trustee will assign, transfer and deliver all of such trustee’s right, title and interest to the trust property held by the Related Trustee to the Trustee pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption Agreement (as defined below);

WHEREAS, the Trustee, effective only, but automatically, upon execution and delivery of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, will be deemed to have declared the creation of the United Air Lines Pass Through Trust 2009-2B-S (the “Applicable Trust”) for the benefit of the Applicable Certificateholders, and the initial Applicable Certificateholders as the grantors of the Applicable Trust, by their respective acceptances of the Applicable Certificates, join in the creation of the Applicable Trust with the Trustee;

WHEREAS, all Certificates deemed issued by the Applicable Trust will evidence fractional undivided interests in the Applicable Trust and will convey no rights, benefits or interests in respect of any property other than the Trust Property except for those Certificates to which an Escrow Receipt has been affixed;

WHEREAS, this Trust Supplement is subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and shall, to the extent applicable, be governed by such provisions;

In addition, the Applicable Certificates will bear a legend regarding ERISA compliance matters.

(ii) The Applicable Certificates shall be Book-Entry Certificates and shall be subject to the conditions set forth in the Letter of Representations between the Company and the Clearing Agency attached as Exhibit B to the Related Pass Through Trust Supplement.

(f) The “Participation Agreements” as defined in this Trust Supplement are the “Note Purchase Agreements” referred to in the Basic Agreement.

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 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), (c), (d) or (g) hereof to fund the Class A Cash Collateral Account, the Liquidity Provider shall have no interest in or rights to the Class A Cash Collateral Account, the funds constituting such Advance or any other amounts from time to time on deposit in the Class A 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 (f) of the Intercreditor Agreement, and provided further, that the foregoing shall not affect or impair the rights of the Liquidity Provider to provide written instructions with respect to the investment and reinvestment of amounts in the Class A 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 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.

(g) A Special Termination Advance shall be made in a single Borrowing upon the receipt by the Borrower of a Special Termination Notice from the Liquidity Provider pursuant to Section 6.01(b), by delivery to the Liquidity Provider of a written and completed Notice of Borrowing in substantially the form of Annex VII, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, in an amount equal to the Maximum Available Commitment at such time, and shall be used solely to fund the Class A Cash Collateral Account (in accordance with Section 3.5(f) and Section 3.5(k) of the Intercreditor Agreement).

Section 2.03 Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Liquidity Provider the fees set forth in the Fee Letter applicable to this Agreement.

Section 2.04 Automatic Reductions and Termination of the Maximum Commitment.

The Borrower shall give notice of any such automatic reduction of the Maximum Commitment to the Liquidity Provider within two Business Days thereof. The failure by the Borrower to furnish any such notice shall not affect such automatic reduction of the Maximum Commitment.

(b) Termination. Upon the making of any Provider Advance or Special Termination Advance or the making of or conversion to a Final Advance hereunder or the occurrence of the Termination Date, the obligation of the Liquidity Provider to make further Advances hereunder shall automatically and irrevocably terminate, and the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any further Borrowing hereunder.

Section 2.05 Repayments of Interest Advances, the Special Termination Advance 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 Liquidity Provider (which notice and demand are hereby waived by the Borrower), to pay, or to cause to be paid, to the Liquidity Provider on each date on which the Liquidity Provider shall make an Interest Advance, the Special Termination 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 Liquidity Provider shall make a Provider Advance at any time after making one or more Interest Advances which shall not have been repaid in accordance with this Section 2.05 or (ii) this Liquidity Facility shall become a Downgraded Facility or Non-Extended Facility at any time when unreimbursed Interest Advances have reduced the Maximum Available Commitment to zero, then such Interest Advances shall cease to constitute Unpaid Advances and shall be deemed to have been changed into an Applied Downgrade Advance or an Applied Non-Extension Advance, as the case may be, for all purposes of this Agreement (including, without limitation, for the purpose of determining when such Interest Advance is required to be repaid to the Liquidity Provider in accordance with Section 2.06 and for the purposes of Section 2.06(b)); provided, further, that amounts in respect of a Special Termination Advance withdrawn from the Class A Cash Collateral Account for the purpose of paying interest on the Class A Certificates in accordance with Section 3.5(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement (the amount of any such withdrawal being an “Applied Special Termination Advance”) shall thereafter (subject to Section 2.06(b)) be treated as an Interest Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon; and provided, further, that if, following the making of a Special Termination Advance, the Liquidity Provider delivers a Termination Notice to the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.01(a), such Special Termination Advance shall thereafter be converted to and 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 Special Termination Advance for purposes of Section 2.6(c) of the Intercreditor Agreement. The Borrower and the Liquidity Provider agree that the repayment in full of each Interest Advance, Special Termination Advance and Final Advance on the date such Advance is made is intended to be a contemporaneous exchange for new value given to the Borrower by the Liquidity Provider.

Section 2.06 Repayments of Provider Advances. (a) Amounts advanced hereunder in respect of a Provider Advance shall be deposited in the Class A Cash Collateral Account, invested and withdrawn from the Class A Cash Collateral Account as set forth in Sections 3.5(c), (d), (e) and (f) of the Intercreditor Agreement. Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Liquidity Provider, on each Regular Distribution Date, commencing on the first Regular Distribution Date after the making of a Provider Advance, interest on the principal amount of any such Provider Advance as provided in Section 3.07; provided, however, that amounts in respect of a Provider Advance withdrawn from the Class A Cash Collateral Account for the purpose of paying interest on the Class A 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

 

11


[Revolving Credit Agreement (2009-2A)]

 

Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon and the dates on which such interest is payable; provided further, however, that if, following the making of a Provider Advance, the Liquidity Provider delivers a Termination Notice to the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.01(a) hereof, such Provider Advance shall thereafter be converted to and 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 the 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 Class A Cash Collateral Account on account of a reduction in the Required Amount, the Borrower shall repay to the Liquidity Provider a portion of the Provider Advances in a principal amount equal to the amount of such reduction, plus interest on the principal amount prepaid as provided in Section 3.07 hereof.

(b) At any time when an Applied Provider Advance (or any portion thereof) is outstanding, upon the deposit in the Class A 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 amount of the Required Amount at such time, (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Applied Provider Advances (and of Provider Advances treated as an Interest Advance for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon) shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such Replenishment Amount (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) At any time when an Applied Special Termination Advance (or any portion thereof) is outstanding, upon the deposit in the Class A Cash Collateral Account of any amount pursuant to clause “fourth” of Section 3.2 of the Intercreditor Agreement (any such amount being a “Special Termination 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 Special Termination Advances (and of Special Termination 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 Special Termination Replenishment Amount and (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Unapplied Special Termination Advances shall be automatically increased by the amount of such Special Termination Replenishment Amount.

(d) Upon the provision of a Replacement Liquidity Facility in replacement of this Agreement in accordance with Section 3.5(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement, amounts remaining on deposit in the Class A Cash Collateral Account after giving effect to any Applied Provider Advance or Applied Special Termination Advance on the date of such replacement shall be reimbursed to the replaced Liquidity Provider, but only to the extent such amounts are necessary to repay in full to the replaced Liquidity Provider all amounts owing to it hereunder.

[Revolving Credit Agreement (2009-2A)]

 

Section 2.07 Payments to the Liquidity Provider Under the Intercreditor Agreement. In order to provide for payment or repayment to the Liquidity Provider of any amounts hereunder, the Intercreditor Agreement provides that amounts available and referred to in Articles II and III of the Intercreditor Agreement, to the extent payable to the Liquidity Provider pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 3.5(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement), shall be paid to the Liquidity Provider in accordance with the terms thereof. Amounts so paid to, and not required to be returned by, the Liquidity Provider shall be applied by the 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 Liquidity Provider shall deem appropriate).

Section 2.08 Book Entries. The Liquidity Provider shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from Advances made from time to time and the amounts of principal and interest payable hereunder and paid from time to time in respect thereof; provided, however, that the failure by the Liquidity Provider to maintain such account or accounts shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower in respect of Advances.

Section 2.09 Payments from Available Funds Only. All payments to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement, including, without limitation, Sections 7.05 and 7.07, shall be made only from the amounts that constitute Scheduled Payments, Special Payments or payments under the Fee Letter, Section 4(a)(v) of the Note Purchase Agreement and Section 7.1 of the Participation Agreements and only to the extent that the Borrower shall have sufficient income or proceeds therefrom to enable the Borrower to make payments in accordance with the terms hereof after giving effect to the priority of payments provisions set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement. The Liquidity Provider agrees that it 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 any Participation Agreement. Amounts on deposit in the Class A 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.

Section 2.10 Extension of the Expiry Date; Non-Extension Advance. No earlier than the 45th day and no later than the 30th 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 A Certificates), the Borrower shall request that the Liquidity Provider extend the Expiry Date to the earlier of (i) the date that is 15 days after the Final Legal Distribution Date for the Class A Certificates and (ii) the date that is the day immediately preceding the 364th day occurring after the last day of the Consent Period (as hereinafter defined). Whether or not the Borrower has made such request, the Liquidity Provider shall advise the Borrower no earlier than the 30th day (or, if earlier, the date of the Liquidity Provider’s receipt of such request, if any, from the Borrower) and no later than the 25th day prior to the then effective Expiry Date (such period, the “Consent Period”), whether, in its sole discretion, it agrees to so extend the Expiry Date. If the Liquidity Provider advises the Borrower on or before the date on which the Consent Period ends that such Expiry Date shall not be so

 

13


[Revolving Credit Agreement (2009-2A)]

 

extended, or fails to irrevocably and unconditionally advise the Borrower on or before the date on which the Consent Period ends that such Expiry Date shall be so extended (and, in each case, if the Liquidity Provider shall not have been replaced in accordance with Section 3.5(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement), the Borrower shall be entitled on and after the date on which the Consent Period ends (but prior to the then effective Expiry Date) to request a Non-Extension Advance in accordance with Section 2.02(b) hereof and Section 3.5(d) of the Intercreditor Agreement.

ARTICLE III

OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER

Section 3.01 Increased Costs. The Borrower shall pay to the Liquidity Provider from time to time such amounts as may be necessary to compensate the Liquidity Provider for any increased costs incurred by the Liquidity Provider which are attributable to its making or maintaining any Advances hereunder or its obligation to make any such Advances hereunder, or any reduction in any amount receivable by the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement in respect of any such Advances or such obligation (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), resulting from any change after the date of this Agreement in U.S. federal, state, 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 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 Liquidity Provider under this Agreement in respect of any such Advances or such obligation (other than with respect to Excluded Taxes or Indemnified Taxes); or (2) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with other liabilities of, the Liquidity Provider (including any such Advances or such obligation or any deposits referred to in the definition of LIBOR Rate or Market Disruption Base Rate or related definitions). The Liquidity Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and applicable legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if making such change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any amount payable under this Section that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Provider, be otherwise disadvantageous to the Liquidity Provider.

The Liquidity Provider will notify the Borrower of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement that will entitle the Liquidity Provider to compensation pursuant to this Section 3.01 as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation, which notice shall describe in reasonable detail the calculation of the amounts owed under this Section; provided, that if the Liquidity Provider fails to give such notice within 180 days after it obtains such knowledge, the Liquidity Provider shall, with respect to any costs resulting from such event, only be entitled to payment under this Section 3.01 for costs incurred from and after the date 180 days prior to the date the Liquidity Provider does give such notice. Determinations by the Liquidity Provider for purposes of this Section 3.01 of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of making or maintaining

 

14


[Revolving Credit Agreement (2009-2A)]

 

Advances or on amounts receivable by it in respect of Advances, and of the additional amounts required to compensate the Liquidity Provider in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount owed under this Section.

Notwithstanding the preceding two paragraphs, the Liquidity Provider and the Subordination Agent agree that any permitted assignee or participant of the initial 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 Liquidity Provider or any corporation or bank controlling the 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 (x) requiring an increase in the amount of capital required to be maintained by the Liquidity Provider or any corporation or bank controlling the Liquidity Provider and such increase is based upon the Liquidity Provider’s obligations hereunder (including funded obligations) and other similar obligations or (y) reducing the rate of return on assets or capital of the Liquidity Provider (or such corporation or bank) and such adoption, change or compliance, as the case may be, relates to the Liquidity Provider’s obligations hereunder (including funded obligations) and similar obligations, the Borrower shall, subject to the provisions of the next paragraph, pay to the Liquidity Provider from time to time such additional amount or amounts as are necessary to compensate the Liquidity Provider for such portion of such increase as shall be reasonably allocable to the Liquidity Provider’s obligations to the Borrower hereunder.

The Liquidity Provider will notify the Borrower of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement that will entitle the Liquidity Provider to compensation pursuant to this Section 3.02 as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation, which notice shall describe in reasonable detail the calculation of the amounts owed under this Section; provided, that if the Liquidity Provider fails to give such notice within 180 days after it obtains such knowledge, the Liquidity Provider shall, with respect to any costs resulting from such event, only be entitled to payment under this Section 3.02 for costs incurred from and after the date 180 days prior to the date the Liquidity Provider does give such notice. Determinations by the Liquidity Provider for purposes of this Section 3.02 of the effect of any increase in the amount of capital required to be maintained by the Liquidity Provider and of the amount allocable to the Liquidity Provider’s obligations to the Borrower hereunder shall be prima facie evidence of the amounts owed under this Section, absent manifest error.

Notwithstanding the preceding two paragraphs, the Liquidity Provider and the Subordination Agent agree that any permitted assignee or participant of the initial 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) Unless required by applicable law, all payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, any present or future Taxes of any nature whatsoever now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed. If any Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the 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 (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) in the case of Taxes, other than Excluded Taxes (such non-excluded Taxes being referred to herein, collectively, as “Indemnified Taxes” and each, individually, as a “Indemnified Tax”), the amounts so payable to the Liquidity Provider shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Liquidity Provider (after payment of all Taxes) interest or any other such amounts payable under this Agreement at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement. The Liquidity Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if making such change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Provider, be otherwise disadvantageous to the Liquidity Provider. From time to time upon the reasonable request of the Borrower, the Liquidity Provider agrees to provide to the Borrower such original Internal Revenue Service Forms (including W-8BEN, W-8ECI or W-9), as appropriate with respect to Liquidity Provider, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying as to any available exemption from or reduction in the rate of United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement. Within 30 days after the date of each payment hereunder, the Borrower shall furnish to the Liquidity Provider the original or a certified copy of (or other documentary evidence of) the payment of the Indemnified Taxes applicable to such payment.

(b) Unless required by applicable law, all payments (including, without limitation, Advances) made by the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, any Taxes. If any Taxes are required to be withheld or deducted from any amounts payable to the Borrower under this Agreement, the Liquidity Provider shall (i) within the time prescribed therefor by applicable law pay to the appropriate governmental or taxing authority the full amount of any such Taxes (and any additional Taxes in respect of the additional amounts payable under clause (ii) hereof) and make such reports or returns in connection therewith at the time or times and in the manner prescribed by applicable law, and (ii) pay to the Borrower an additional amount which (after deduction of all such Taxes) will be sufficient to yield to the Borrower the full amount which would have been received by it had no such withholding or deduction been made. Within 30 days after the date of each payment hereunder, the Liquidity Provider shall furnish to the Borrower the original or a certified copy of (or other documentary evidence of) the payment of the Taxes applicable to such payment.

(c) If any exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, any Taxes is reasonably available to the Borrower to establish that payments under this Agreement are exempt from (or entitled to a reduced rate of) tax, the Borrower shall deliver to the Liquidity Provider such form or forms and such other evidence of the eligibility of the Borrower for such exemption or reduction as the

 

16


[Revolving Credit Agreement (2009-2A)]

 

Liquidity Provider may reasonably identify to the Borrower as being required as a condition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, any Taxes.

Section 3.04 Payments. The Borrower shall make or cause to be made each payment to the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement so as to cause the same to be received by the Liquidity Provider not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day when due. The Borrower shall make all such payments in lawful money of the United States of America, to the Liquidity Provider in immediately available funds, by wire transfer to the account of Goldman Sachs Bank USA at Citibank, N.A., New York, ABA No. 021000089, Account No. 30627664, Reference: United Air Lines, Attn: Bank Loan Operations, or to such other account as the Liquidity Provider may from time to time direct the Borrower.

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 or the Market Disruption Base 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 to the Liquidity Provider 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 without any additional interest (and if so made, shall be deemed to have been made when due).

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 or Applied Special Termination Advance, from and including the date on which the amount thereof was withdrawn from the Class A Cash Collateral Account to pay interest on the Class A Certificates) to but excluding the date such principal amount shall be paid in full (or, in the case of an Applied Provider Advance or Applied Special Termination Advance, the date on which the Class A 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 (other than any Unapplied Provider Advance or Unapplied Special Termination Advance) will be either a Base Rate Advance or a LIBOR Advance as provided in this Section. Each such Advance

 

17


[Revolving Credit Agreement (2009-2A)]

 

will be a Base Rate Advance for the period from the date of its borrowing to (but excluding) the third LIBOR Business Day following the Liquidity Provider’s receipt of the Notice of Borrowing for such Advance. Thereafter, such Advance shall be a LIBOR Advance.

(c) Each LIBOR Advance shall bear interest during each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for such LIBOR Advance, payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period and, in the event of the payment of principal of such LIBOR Advance on a day other than such last day, on the date of such payment (to the extent of interest accrued on the amount of principal repaid).

(d) Each Base Rate Advance shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for such Base Rate Advance, payable in arrears on each Regular Distribution Date and, in the event of the payment of principal of such Base Rate Advance on a day other than a Regular Distribution Date, on the date of such payment (to the extent of interest accrued on the amount of principal repaid).

(e) Each outstanding Unapplied Non-Extension Advance, Unapplied Downgrade Advance and Unapplied Special Termination Advance shall bear interest in an amount equal to the Investment Earnings on amounts on deposit in the Class A Cash Collateral Account plus the Applicable Margin for such Unapplied Non-Extension Advance, Unapplied Downgrade Advance or Unapplied Special Termination Advance, as applicable, on the amount of such Unapplied Non-Extension Advance, Unapplied Downgrade Advance or Unapplied Special Termination Advance from time to time, payable in arrears on each Regular Distribution Date.

(f) Each amount not paid when due hereunder (whether fees, commissions, expenses or other amounts or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, installments of interest on Advances but excluding Advances) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 2.00% per annum until paid.

(g) Each change in the Base Rate shall become effective immediately. The rates of interest specified in this Section 3.07 with respect to any Advance or other amount shall be referred to as the “Applicable Liquidity Rate”.

(h) If at any time the Liquidity Provider shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower, absent manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant interbank lending market generally, the LIBOR Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Liquidity Provider (as conclusively certified by the Liquidity Provider, absent manifest error) of making or maintaining Advances, the Liquidity Provider shall give facsimile or telephonic notice thereof (a “Rate Determination Notice”) to the Borrower. Following the receipt of a Rate Determination Notice by the Borrower, the LIBOR Rate shall be the Market Disruption Base Rate until the Interest Period that immediately follows the withdrawal of such Rate Determination Notice. The Liquidity Provider shall withdraw a Rate Determination Notice given hereunder when the Liquidity Provider determines that the circumstances giving rise to such Rate Determination Notice no longer apply to the Liquidity Provider.

Section 3.09 Funding Loss Indemnification. The Borrower shall pay to the Liquidity Provider, upon the request of the Liquidity Provider, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of the Liquidity Provider) to compensate it for any loss, cost, or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds acquired by the Liquidity Provider to fund or maintain any LIBOR Advance (but excluding loss of anticipated profits) incurred as a result of:

(1) Any repayment of a LIBOR Advance on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance; or

(2) Any failure by the Borrower to borrow a LIBOR Advance on the date for borrowing specified in the relevant notice under Section 2.02.

Section 3.10 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Liquidity Provider (or its Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for the Liquidity Provider (or its Lending Office) to maintain or fund its LIBOR Advances, then upon notice to the Borrower by the Liquidity Provider, the outstanding principal amount of the LIBOR Advances shall be converted to Base Rate Advances (a) immediately upon demand of the Liquidity Provider, if such change or compliance with such request, in the judgment of the Liquidity Provider, requires immediate repayment; or (b) at the expiration of the last Interest Period to expire before the effective date of any such change or request. The Liquidity Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and applicable legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if making such change would avoid or cure the aforesaid illegality and would not, in the reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Provider, be otherwise disadvantageous to the Liquidity Provider.

24


[Revolving Credit Agreement (2009-2A)]

 

shall not be required to indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless any Liquidity Indemnitee in respect of any Expense of such Liquidity Indemnitee to the extent such Expense is (i) attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Liquidity Indemnitee or any other Liquidity Indemnitee, (ii) ordinary and usual operating overhead expense, (iii) attributable to the failure by such Liquidity Indemnitee or any other Liquidity Indemnitee to perform or observe any agreement, covenant or condition on its part to be performed or observed in this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Fee Letter applicable to this Agreement or any other Operative Agreement to which it is a party; or (iv) a Tax.

Section 7.06 Liability of the Liquidity Provider. (a) Neither the Liquidity Provider nor any of its officers, employees, directors or Affiliates shall be liable or responsible for: (i) the use which may be made of the Advances or any acts or omissions of the Borrower or any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (ii) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; or (iii) the making of Advances by the Liquidity Provider against delivery of a Notice of Borrowing and other documents which do not comply with the terms hereof; provided, however, that the Borrower shall have a claim against the Liquidity Provider, and the Liquidity Provider shall be liable to the Borrower, to the extent of any damages suffered by the Borrower which were the result of (A) the Liquidity Provider’s willful misconduct or negligence in determining whether documents presented hereunder comply with the terms hereof, or (B) any breach by the Liquidity Provider of any of the terms of this Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement, including, but not limited to, the Liquidity Provider’s failure to make lawful payment hereunder after the delivery to it by the Borrower of a Notice of Borrowing strictly complying with the terms and conditions hereof. In no event, however, shall the Liquidity Provider be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings).

(b) Neither the Liquidity Provider nor any of its officers, employees, directors or Affiliates shall be liable or responsible in any respect for (i) any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with this Agreement or any Notice of Borrowing delivered hereunder, or (ii) any action, inaction or omission which may be taken by it in good faith, absent willful misconduct or gross negligence (in which event the extent of the Liquidity Provider’s potential liability to the Borrower shall be limited as set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph), in connection with this Agreement or any Notice of Borrowing.

Section 7.07 Costs, Expenses and Taxes. The Borrower agrees to pay, or cause to be paid (A) on the Effective Date and on such later date or dates on which the Liquidity Provider shall make demand, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel for the Liquidity Provider) of the Liquidity Provider in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, filing and recording of this Agreement, any other Operative Agreement and any other documents which may be delivered in connection with this Agreement and (B) on demand, all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) of the Liquidity Provider in connection with

 

25


[Revolving Credit Agreement (2009-2A)]

 

(i) the enforcement of this Agreement or any other Operative Agreement, (ii) the modification or amendment of, or supplement to, this Agreement or any other Operative Agreement or such other documents which may be delivered in connection herewith or therewith (whether or not the same shall become effective) or any waiver or consent thereunder (whether or not the same shall become effective) or (iii) any action or proceeding relating to any order, injunction, or other process or decree restraining or seeking to restrain the Liquidity Provider from paying any amount under this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement or any other Operative Agreement or otherwise affecting the application of funds in the Class A Cash Collateral Account. In addition, the Borrower shall pay any and all recording, stamp and other similar taxes and fees payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution, delivery, filing and recording of this Agreement, any other Operative Agreement and such other documents, and agrees to hold the Liquidity Provider harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omission to pay such taxes or fees.

Section 7.08 Binding Effect; Participations. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the Liquidity Provider and their respective successors and assigns, except that neither the Liquidity Provider (except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.08 and in Section 3.5(l) of the Intercreditor Agreement) nor (except as contemplated by Section 3.08) the Borrower shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the other party, subject to the requirements of Section 7.08(b). The Liquidity Provider may grant participations herein or in any of its rights hereunder (including, without limitation, funded participations and participations in rights to receive interest payments hereunder) and under the other Operative Agreements to such Persons (other than United and its Affiliates) as the Liquidity Provider may in its sole discretion select, subject to the requirements of Section 7.08(b). No such granting of participations by the Liquidity Provider, however, will relieve the Liquidity Provider of its obligations hereunder. In connection with any participation or any proposed participation, the Liquidity Provider may disclose to the participant or the proposed participant any information that the Borrower is required to deliver or to disclose or is otherwise provided to the Liquidity Provider pursuant to this Agreement. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Liquidity Provider’s source of funds may derive in part from its participants. Accordingly, references in this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements to determinations, reserve and capital adequacy requirements, increased costs, reduced receipts, additional amounts due pursuant to Section 3.03 and the like as they pertain to the Liquidity Provider shall be deemed also to include those of each of its participants that are banks (subject, in each case, to the maximum amount that would have been incurred by or attributable to the Liquidity Provider directly if the Liquidity Provider, rather than the participant, had held the interest participated).

(b) If, pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Liquidity Provider sells any participation in this Agreement to any bank or other entity (each, a “Transferee”), the Transferee shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01, 3.02 or 3.03 than the Liquidity Provider would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Transferee unless the sale of such participation is made with the prior written consent of the Borrower and United. A Transferee shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.03 unless the Borrower and United is notified of the participation sold to such Transferee and such Transferee agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with the certification requirements of Section 3.03 as though it were the Liquidity Provider.

 

26


[Revolving Credit Agreement (2009-2A)]

 

Unless the Borrower has received forms or other documents reasonably satisfactory to it (and required by applicable law) indicating that payments hereunder are not subject to United States federal withholding tax, the Borrower will withhold any such taxes as required by law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate.

(c) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 7.08, the Liquidity Provider may assign and pledge all or any portion of the Advances owing to it to any Federal Reserve Bank or the United States Treasury as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank, provided that any payment in respect of such assigned Advances made by the Borrower to the Liquidity Provider in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall satisfy the Borrower’s obligations hereunder in respect of such assigned Advance to the extent of such payment. No such assignment shall release the Liquidity Provider from its obligations hereunder.

Section 7.09 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited, unenforceable or not authorized in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition, unenforceability or non-authorization without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity, enforceability or legality of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 7.10 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE.

Section 7.11 Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial; Waiver of Immunity. (a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(i) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Operative Agreement, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect hereof or thereof, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and the appellate courts from any thereof; provided, that, in the case United is a debtor in a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, each party also submits for itself and its property to the court that has jurisdiction over the bankruptcy proceedings;

(ii) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts, and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

(iii) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to each party hereto at its address set forth in Section 7.02 hereof, or at such other address of which the Liquidity Provider shall have been notified pursuant thereto; and

 

27


[Revolving Credit Agreement (2009-2A)]

 

(iv) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction.

(b) THE BORROWER AND THE LIQUIDITY PROVIDER EACH HEREBY AGREE TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED, including, without limitation, contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty claims and all other common law and statutory claims. The Borrower and the Liquidity Provider each warrant and represent that it has reviewed this waiver with its legal counsel, and that it knowingly and voluntarily waives its jury trial rights following consultation with such legal counsel. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, AND CANNOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 7.12 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which counterparts, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement.

Section 7.13 Entirety. This Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and the other Operative Agreements to which the Liquidity Provider is a party constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings and agreements of such parties.

Section 7.14 Headings. Section headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.

Section 7.15 Transfer. The Liquidity Provider hereby acknowledges and consents to the Transfer contemplated by the Assignment and Assumption Agreement.

Section 7.16 LIQUIDITY PROVIDER’S OBLIGATION TO MAKE ADVANCES. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE LIQUIDITY PROVIDER TO MAKE ADVANCES HEREUNDER, AND THE BORROWER’S RIGHTS TO DELIVER NOTICES OF BORROWING REQUESTING THE MAKING OF ADVANCES HEREUNDER, SHALL BE UNCONDITIONAL AND IRREVOCABLE, AND SHALL BE PAID OR PERFORMED, IN EACH CASE STRICTLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 7.17 Patriot Act. In compliance with the USA Patriot Act and 31 CFR Part 103.121 and, in the case of a non-U.S. entity, any other similar requirements of the relevant foreign jurisdiction, when requested WTC shall provide to the Liquidity Provider certain information relating to WTC that the Liquidity Provider may be required to obtain and keep on file, including WTC’s name, address and various identifying documents.

 

28


[Revolving Credit Agreement (2009-2A)]

 

Section 7.18 Fiduciary Duty. The Liquidity Provider and its Affiliates may have economic interests that conflict with those of WTC, its stockholders and/or its Affiliates. WTC agrees that nothing in the Operative Agreements or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or implied duty between the Liquidity Provider or its Affiliates, on the one hand, and WTC, its stockholders or its Affiliates, on the other. WTC acknowledges and agrees that (a) the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Liquidity Provider and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and WTC, on the other, and (b) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (i) neither the Liquidity Provider or its Affiliates have assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of WTC, its stockholders or its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether the Liquidity Provider or its Affiliates have advised, are currently advising or will advise WTC, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to WTC except the obligations expressly set forth in the Operative Agreements and (ii) each of the Liquidity Provider and its Affiliates is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of WTC, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. WTC acknowledges and agrees that WTC has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. WTC agrees that it will not claim that the Liquidity Provider or its Affiliates have rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to WTC, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

The Borrower shall pay to the Liquidity Provider from time to time such amounts as may be necessary to compensate the Liquidity Provider for any increased costs incurred by the Liquidity Provider which are attributable to its making or maintaining any Advances hereunder or its obligation to make any such Advances hereunder, or any reduction in any amount receivable by the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement in respect of any such Advances or such obligation (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), resulting from any change after the date of this Agreement in U.S. federal, state, 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 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 Liquidity Provider under this Agreement in respect of any such Advances or such obligation (other than with respect to Excluded Taxes or Indemnified Taxes); or (2) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with other liabilities of, the Liquidity Provider (including any such Advances or such obligation or any deposits referred to in the definition of LIBOR Rate or Market Disruption Base Rate or related definitions). The Liquidity Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and applicable legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if making such change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any amount payable under this Section that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Provider, be otherwise disadvantageous to the Liquidity Provider.

The Liquidity Provider will notify the Borrower of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement that will entitle the Liquidity Provider to compensation pursuant to this Section 3.01 as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation, which notice shall describe in reasonable detail the calculation of the amounts owed under this Section; provided, that if the Liquidity Provider fails to give such notice within 180 days after it obtains such knowledge, the Liquidity Provider shall, with respect to any costs resulting from such event, only be entitled to payment under this Section 3.01 for costs incurred from and after the date 180 days prior to the date the Liquidity Provider does give such notice. Determinations by the Liquidity Provider for purposes of this Section 3.01 of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of making or maintaining Advances or on amounts receivable by it in respect of Advances, and of the additional amounts required to compensate the Liquidity Provider in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount owed under this Section.

[Revolving Credit Agreement (2009-2B)]

 

Notwithstanding the preceding two paragraphs, the Liquidity Provider and the Subordination Agent agree that any permitted assignee or participant of the initial 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 Liquidity Provider or any corporation or bank controlling the 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 (x) requiring an increase in the amount of capital required to be maintained by the Liquidity Provider or any corporation or bank controlling the Liquidity Provider and such increase is based upon the Liquidity Provider’s obligations hereunder (including funded obligations) and other similar obligations or (y) reducing the rate of return on assets or capital of the Liquidity Provider (or such corporation or bank) and such adoption, change or compliance, as the case may be, relates to the Liquidity Provider’s obligations hereunder (including funded obligations) and similar obligations, the Borrower shall, subject to the provisions of the next paragraph, pay to the Liquidity Provider from time to time such additional amount or amounts as are necessary to compensate the Liquidity Provider for such portion of such increase as shall be reasonably allocable to the Liquidity Provider’s obligations to the Borrower hereunder.

The Liquidity Provider will notify the Borrower of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement that will entitle the Liquidity Provider to compensation pursuant to this Section 3.02 as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation, which notice shall describe in reasonable detail the calculation of the amounts owed under this Section; provided, that if the Liquidity Provider fails to give such notice within 180 days after it obtains such knowledge, the Liquidity Provider shall, with respect to any costs resulting from such event, only be entitled to payment under this Section 3.02 for costs incurred from and after the date 180 days prior to the date the Liquidity Provider does give such notice. Determinations by the Liquidity Provider for purposes of this Section 3.02 of the effect of any increase in the amount of capital required to be maintained by the Liquidity Provider and of the amount allocable to the Liquidity Provider’s obligations to the Borrower hereunder shall be prima facie evidence of the amounts owed under this Section, absent manifest error.

Notwithstanding the preceding two paragraphs, the Liquidity Provider and the Subordination Agent agree that any permitted assignee or participant of the initial 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) Unless required by applicable law, all payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, any present or future Taxes of any nature whatsoever now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed. If any Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the 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 (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) in the case of Taxes, other than Excluded Taxes (such non-excluded Taxes being referred to herein, collectively, as “Indemnified Taxes” and each, individually, as a “Indemnified Tax”), the amounts so payable to the Liquidity Provider shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Liquidity Provider (after payment of all Taxes) interest or any other such amounts payable under this Agreement at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement. The Liquidity Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if making such change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Provider, be otherwise disadvantageous to the Liquidity Provider. From time to time upon the reasonable request of the Borrower, the Liquidity Provider agrees to provide to the Borrower such original Internal Revenue Service Forms (including W-8BEN, W-8ECI or W-9), as appropriate with respect to Liquidity Provider, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying as to any available exemption from or reduction in the rate of United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement. Within 30 days after the date of each payment hereunder, the Borrower shall furnish to the Liquidity Provider the original or a certified copy of (or other documentary evidence of) the payment of the Indemnified Taxes applicable to such payment.

(b) Unless required by applicable law, all payments (including, without limitation, Advances) made by the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, any Taxes. If any Taxes are required to be withheld or deducted from any amounts payable to the Borrower under this Agreement, the Liquidity Provider shall (i) within the time prescribed therefor by applicable law pay to the appropriate governmental or taxing authority the full amount of any such Taxes (and any additional Taxes in respect of the additional amounts payable under clause (ii) hereof) and make such reports or returns in connection therewith at the time or times and in the manner prescribed by applicable law, and (ii) pay to the Borrower an additional amount which (after deduction of all such Taxes) will be sufficient to yield to the Borrower the full amount which would have been received by it had no such withholding or deduction been made. Within 30 days after the date of each payment hereunder, the Liquidity Provider shall furnish to the Borrower the original or a certified copy of (or other documentary evidence of) the payment of the Taxes applicable to such payment.

(c) If any exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, any Taxes is reasonably available to the Borrower to establish that payments under this Agreement are exempt from (or entitled to a reduced rate of) tax, the Borrower shall deliver to the Liquidity Provider such form or forms and such other evidence of the eligibility of the Borrower for such exemption or reduction as the Liquidity Provider may reasonably identify to the Borrower as being required as a condition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, any Taxes.

[Revolving Credit Agreement (2009-2B)]

 

Section 3.04 Payments. The Borrower shall make or cause to be made each payment to the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement so as to cause the same to be received by the Liquidity Provider not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day when due. The Borrower shall make all such payments in lawful money of the United States of America, to the Liquidity Provider in immediately available funds, by wire transfer to the account of Goldman Sachs Bank USA at Citibank, N.A., New York, ABA No. 021000089, Account No. 30627664, Reference: United Air Lines, Attn: Bank Loan Operations, or to such other account as the Liquidity Provider may from time to time direct the Borrower.

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 or the Market Disruption Base 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 to the Liquidity Provider 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 without any additional interest (and if so made, shall be deemed to have been made when due).

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 or Applied Special Termination Advance, from and including the date on which the amount thereof was withdrawn from the Class B Cash Collateral Account to pay interest on the Class B Certificates) to but excluding the date such principal amount shall be paid in full (or, in the case of an Applied Provider Advance or Applied Special Termination Advance, the date on which the Class B 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 (other than any Unapplied Provider Advance or Unapplied Special Termination Advance) will be either a Base Rate Advance or a LIBOR Advance as provided in this Section. Each such Advance will be a Base Rate Advance for the period from the date of its borrowing to (but excluding) the third LIBOR Business Day following the Liquidity Provider’s receipt of the Notice of Borrowing for such Advance. Thereafter, such Advance shall be a LIBOR Advance.

 

17


[Revolving Credit Agreement (2009-2B)]

 

(c) Each LIBOR Advance shall bear interest during each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for such LIBOR Advance, payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period and, in the event of the payment of principal of such LIBOR Advance on a day other than such last day, on the date of such payment (to the extent of interest accrued on the amount of principal repaid).

(d) Each Base Rate Advance shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for such Base Rate Advance, payable in arrears on each Regular Distribution Date and, in the event of the payment of principal of such Base Rate Advance on a day other than a Regular Distribution Date, on the date of such payment (to the extent of interest accrued on the amount of principal repaid).

(e) Each outstanding Unapplied Non-Extension Advance, Unapplied Downgrade Advance and Unapplied Special Termination Advance shall bear interest in an amount equal to the Investment Earnings on amounts on deposit in the Class B Cash Collateral Account plus the Applicable Margin for such Unapplied Non-Extension Advance, Unapplied Downgrade Advance or Unapplied Special Termination Advance, as applicable, on the amount of such Unapplied Non-Extension Advance, Unapplied Downgrade Advance or Unapplied Special Termination Advance from time to time, payable in arrears on each Regular Distribution Date.

(f) Each amount not paid when due hereunder (whether fees, commissions, expenses or other amounts or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, installments of interest on Advances but excluding Advances) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 2.00% per annum until paid.

(g) Each change in the Base Rate shall become effective immediately. The rates of interest specified in this Section 3.07 with respect to any Advance or other amount shall be referred to as the “Applicable Liquidity Rate”.

(h) If at any time the Liquidity Provider shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower, absent manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant interbank lending market generally, the LIBOR Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Liquidity Provider (as conclusively certified by the Liquidity Provider, absent manifest error) of making or maintaining Advances, the Liquidity Provider shall give facsimile or telephonic notice thereof (a “Rate Determination Notice”) to the Borrower. Following the receipt of a Rate Determination Notice by the Borrower, the LIBOR Rate shall be the Market Disruption Base Rate until the Interest Period that immediately follows the withdrawal of such Rate Determination Notice. The Liquidity Provider shall withdraw a Rate Determination Notice given hereunder when the Liquidity Provider determines that the circumstances giving rise to such Rate Determination Notice no longer apply to the Liquidity Provider.

Section 3.08 Replacement of Borrower. From time to time and subject to the successor Borrower’s meeting the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 6.9 of the Intercreditor Agreement applicable to the Subordination Agent, upon the effective date and time specified in a written and completed Notice of Replacement Subordination Agent in substantially the form of Annex VI attached hereto (a “Notice of Replacement Subordination Agent”) delivered to the Liquidity Provider by the then Borrower, the successor Borrower designated therein shall be substituted for the Borrower for all purposes hereunder.

Section 3.09 Funding Loss Indemnification. The Borrower shall pay to the Liquidity Provider, upon the request of the Liquidity Provider, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of the Liquidity Provider) to compensate it for any loss, cost, or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds acquired by the Liquidity Provider to fund or maintain any LIBOR Advance (but excluding loss of anticipated profits) incurred as a result of:

(1) Any repayment of a LIBOR Advance on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance; or

(2) Any failure by the Borrower to borrow a LIBOR Advance on the date for borrowing specified in the relevant notice under Section 2.02.

Section 3.10 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Liquidity Provider (or its Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for the Liquidity Provider (or its Lending Office) to maintain or fund its LIBOR Advances, then upon notice to the Borrower by the Liquidity Provider, the outstanding principal amount of the LIBOR Advances shall be converted to Base Rate Advances (a) immediately upon demand of the Liquidity Provider, if such change or compliance with such request, in the judgment of the Liquidity Provider, requires immediate repayment; or (b) at the expiration of the last Interest Period to expire before the effective date of any such change or request. The Liquidity Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and applicable legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if making such change would avoid or cure the aforesaid illegality and would not, in the reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Provider, be otherwise disadvantageous to the Liquidity Provider.

(a) Neither the Liquidity Provider nor any of its officers, employees, directors or Affiliates shall be liable or responsible for: (i) the use which may be made of the Advances or any acts or omissions of the Borrower or any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (ii) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; or (iii) the making of Advances by the Liquidity Provider against delivery of a Notice of Borrowing and other documents which do not comply with the terms hereof; provided, however, that the Borrower shall have a claim against the Liquidity Provider, and the Liquidity Provider shall be liable to the Borrower, to the extent of any damages suffered by the Borrower which were the result of (A) the Liquidity Provider’s willful misconduct or negligence in determining whether documents presented hereunder comply with the terms hereof, or (B) any breach by the Liquidity Provider of any of the terms of this Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement, including, but not limited to, the Liquidity Provider’s failure to make lawful payment hereunder after the delivery to it by the Borrower of a Notice of Borrowing strictly complying with the terms and conditions hereof. In no event, however, shall the Liquidity Provider be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings).

(b) Neither the Liquidity Provider nor any of its officers, employees, directors or Affiliates shall be liable or responsible in any respect for (i) any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with this Agreement or any Notice of Borrowing delivered hereunder, or (ii) any action, inaction or omission which may be taken by it in good faith, absent willful misconduct or gross negligence (in which event the extent of the Liquidity Provider’s potential liability to the Borrower shall be limited as set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph), in connection with this Agreement or any Notice of Borrowing.

Section 7.07 Costs, Expenses and Taxes. The Borrower agrees to pay, or cause to be paid (A) on the Effective Date and on such later date or dates on which the Liquidity Provider shall make demand, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel for the Liquidity Provider) of the Liquidity Provider in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, filing and recording of this Agreement, any other Operative Agreement and any other documents which may be delivered in connection with this Agreement and (B) on demand, all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) of the Liquidity Provider in connection with (i) the

 

25


[Revolving Credit Agreement (2009-2B)]

 

enforcement of this Agreement or any other Operative Agreement, (ii) the modification or amendment of, or supplement to, this Agreement or any other Operative Agreement or such other documents which may be delivered in connection herewith or therewith (whether or not the same shall become effective) or any waiver or consent thereunder (whether or not the same shall become effective) or (iii) any action or proceeding relating to any order, injunction, or other process or decree restraining or seeking to restrain the Liquidity Provider from paying any amount under this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement or any other Operative Agreement or otherwise affecting the application of funds in the Class B Cash Collateral Account. In addition, the Borrower shall pay any and all recording, stamp and other similar taxes and fees payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution, delivery, filing and recording of this Agreement, any other Operative Agreement and such other documents, and agrees to hold the Liquidity Provider harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omission to pay such taxes or fees.

Section 7.08 Binding Effect; Participations. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the Liquidity Provider and their respective successors and assigns, except that neither the Liquidity Provider (except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.08 and in Section 3.5(l) of the Intercreditor Agreement) nor (except as contemplated by Section 3.08) the Borrower shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the other party, subject to the requirements of Section 7.08(b). The Liquidity Provider may grant participations herein or in any of its rights hereunder (including, without limitation, funded participations and participations in rights to receive interest payments hereunder) and under the other Operative Agreements to such Persons (other than United and its Affiliates) as the Liquidity Provider may in its sole discretion select, subject to the requirements of Section 7.08(b). No such granting of participations by the Liquidity Provider, however, will relieve the Liquidity Provider of its obligations hereunder. In connection with any participation or any proposed participation, the Liquidity Provider may disclose to the participant or the proposed participant any information that the Borrower is required to deliver or to disclose or is otherwise provided to the Liquidity Provider pursuant to this Agreement. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Liquidity Provider’s source of funds may derive in part from its participants. Accordingly, references in this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements to determinations, reserve and capital adequacy requirements, increased costs, reduced receipts, additional amounts due pursuant to Section 3.03 and the like as they pertain to the Liquidity Provider shall be deemed also to include those of each of its participants that are banks (subject, in each case, to the maximum amount that would have been incurred by or attributable to the Liquidity Provider directly if the Liquidity Provider, rather than the participant, had held the interest participated).

(b) If, pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Liquidity Provider sells any participation in this Agreement to any bank or other entity (each, a “Transferee”), the Transferee shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01, 3.02 or 3.03 than the Liquidity Provider would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Transferee unless the sale of such participation is made with the prior written consent of the Borrower and United. A Transferee shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.03 unless the Borrower and United is notified of the participation sold to such Transferee and such Transferee agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with the certification requirements of Section 3.03 as though it were the Liquidity Provider. Unless the Borrower has received forms or other documents reasonably satisfactory to it (and required by applicable law) indicating that payments hereunder are not subject to United States federal withholding tax, the Borrower will withhold any such taxes as required by law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate.

 

26


[Revolving Credit Agreement (2009-2B)]

 

(c) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 7.08, the Liquidity Provider may assign and pledge all or any portion of the Advances owing to it to any Federal Reserve Bank or the United States Treasury as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank, provided that any payment in respect of such assigned Advances made by the Borrower to the Liquidity Provider in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall satisfy the Borrower’s obligations hereunder in respect of such assigned Advance to the extent of such payment. No such assignment shall release the Liquidity Provider from its obligations hereunder.

Section 7.09 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited, unenforceable or not authorized in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition, unenforceability or non-authorization without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity, enforceability or legality of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 7.10 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE.

Section 7.11 Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial; Waiver of Immunity. (a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(i) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Operative Agreement, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect hereof or thereof, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and the appellate courts from any thereof; provided, that, in the case United is a debtor in a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, each party also submits for itself and its property to the court that has jurisdiction over the bankruptcy proceedings;

(ii) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts, and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

(iii) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to each party hereto at its address set forth in Section 7.02 hereof, or at such other address of which the Liquidity Provider shall have been notified pursuant thereto; and

 

27


[Revolving Credit Agreement (2009-2B)]

 

(iv) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction.

(b) THE BORROWER AND THE LIQUIDITY PROVIDER EACH HEREBY AGREE TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED, including, without limitation, contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty claims and all other common law and statutory claims. The Borrower and the Liquidity Provider each warrant and represent that it has reviewed this waiver with its legal counsel, and that it knowingly and voluntarily waives its jury trial rights following consultation with such legal counsel. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, AND CANNOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 7.12 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which counterparts, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement.

Section 7.13 Entirety. This Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and the other Operative Agreements to which the Liquidity Provider is a party constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings and agreements of such parties.

Section 7.14 Headings. Section headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.

Section 7.15 Transfer. The Liquidity Provider hereby acknowledges and consents to the Transfer contemplated by the Assignment and Assumption Agreement.

Section 7.16 LIQUIDITY PROVIDER’S OBLIGATION TO MAKE ADVANCES. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE LIQUIDITY PROVIDER TO MAKE ADVANCES HEREUNDER, AND THE BORROWER’S RIGHTS TO DELIVER NOTICES OF BORROWING REQUESTING THE MAKING OF ADVANCES HEREUNDER, SHALL BE UNCONDITIONAL AND IRREVOCABLE, AND SHALL BE PAID OR PERFORMED, IN EACH CASE STRICTLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 7.17 Patriot Act. In compliance with the USA Patriot Act and 31 CFR Part 103.121 and, in the case of a non-U.S. entity, any other similar requirements of the relevant foreign jurisdiction, when requested WTC shall provide to the Liquidity Provider certain information relating to WTC that the Liquidity Provider may be required to obtain and keep on file, including WTC’s name, address and various identifying documents.

 

28


[Revolving Credit Agreement (2009-2B)]

 

Section 7.18 Fiduciary Duty. The Liquidity Provider and its Affiliates may have economic interests that conflict with those of WTC, its stockholders and/or its Affiliates. WTC agrees that nothing in the Operative Agreements or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or implied duty between the Liquidity Provider or its Affiliates, on the one hand, and WTC, its stockholders or its Affiliates, on the other. WTC acknowledges and agrees that (a) the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Liquidity Provider and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and WTC, on the other, and (b) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (i) neither the Liquidity Provider or its Affiliates have assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of WTC, its stockholders or its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether the Liquidity Provider or its Affiliates have advised, are currently advising or will advise WTC, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to WTC except the obligations expressly set forth in the Operative Agreements and (ii) each of the Liquidity Provider and its Affiliates is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of WTC, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. WTC acknowledges and agrees that WTC has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. WTC agrees that it will not claim that the Liquidity Provider or its Affiliates have rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to WTC, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

(c) Downgrade Drawings. (i) With respect to each Liquidity Facility, a Downgrade Drawing shall be requested by the Subordination Agent thereunder as provided in Section 3.5(c)(iii), if at any time a Downgrade Event shall have occurred with respect to such Liquidity Facility (such Liquidity Facility following a Downgrade Event being referred to as a “Downgraded Facility”), unless an event described in Section 3.5(c)(ii) occurs with respect to such Liquidity Facility.

(ii) If at any time any Liquidity Facility becomes a Downgraded Facility, the Subordination Agent shall request a Downgrade Drawing thereunder in accordance with Section 3.5(c)(iii), unless the Liquidity Provider under such Downgraded Facility or United arranges for a Replacement Liquidity Provider to issue and deliver a Replacement Liquidity Facility to the Subordination Agent within 10 days after receiving notice of a Downgrade Event (but not later than the expiration date of such Downgraded Facility).

(iii) Upon the occurrence of any Downgrade Event with respect to any Liquidity Facility, unless a Replacement Liquidity Facility is arranged as provided in Section 3.5(c)(ii), the Subordination Agent shall, on the 10th day referred to in Section 3.5(c)(ii) (or if such 10th day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day) (or, if earlier, the expiration date of such Downgraded Facility), request a drawing in accordance with and to the extent permitted by such Downgraded Facility (such drawing, a “Downgrade Drawing”) of the Available Amount thereunder. Amounts drawn pursuant to a Downgrade Drawing shall be maintained and invested as provided in Section 3.5(f) hereof. The applicable Liquidity Provider may also arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Provider to issue and deliver a Replacement Liquidity Facility at any time after such Downgrade Drawing so long as such Downgrade Drawing has not been reimbursed in full to such Liquidity Provider.

(d) Non-Extension Drawings.

31


occurring after the last day of the applicable Consent Period (as hereinafter defined) (unless the obligations of such Liquidity Provider under such Liquidity Facility are earlier terminated in accordance with such Liquidity Facility). Whether or not the Liquidity Provider has received a request from the Subordination Agent, such Liquidity Provider shall advise the Subordination Agent, no earlier than the 30th day (or, if earlier, the date of such Liquidity Provider’s receipt of such request, if any, from the Subordination Agent) and no later than the 25th day prior to the Stated Expiration Date then in effect for such Liquidity Facility (such period, with respect to such Liquidity Facility, the “Consent Period”), whether, in its sole discretion, it agrees to extend such Stated Expiration Date. If (A) on or before the date on which such Consent Period ends, such Liquidity Facility shall not have been replaced in accordance with Section 3.5(e) and (B) the applicable Liquidity Provider fails irrevocably and unconditionally to advise the Subordination Agent on or before the date on which such Consent Period ends that such Stated Expiration Date then in effect shall be so extended for such Liquidity Facility, the Subordination Agent shall, on the date on which such Consent Period ends (or as soon as possible thereafter), in accordance with the terms of the expiring Liquidity Facility (a “Non-Extended Facility”), request a drawing under such expiring Liquidity Facility (such drawing, a “Non-Extension Drawing”) of the Available Amount thereunder. Amounts drawn pursuant to a Non-Extension Drawing shall be maintained and invested in accordance with Section 3.5(f) hereof.

(e) Issuance of Replacement Liquidity Facility. (i) At any time, United may, at its option, with cause or without cause, arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility to replace any Liquidity Facility for any Class of Certificates (including any Replacement Liquidity Facility provided pursuant to Section 3.5(e)(ii) hereof); provided, however, that the initial Liquidity Provider for any Liquidity Facility shall not be replaced by United as a Liquidity Provider prior to the first anniversary of the Issuance Date unless (A) there shall have become due to such initial Liquidity Provider, or such initial Liquidity Provider shall have demanded, amounts pursuant to Section 3.01, 3.02 or 3.03 of any applicable Liquidity Facility and the replacement of such initial Liquidity Provider would reduce or eliminate the obligation to pay such amounts or United determines in good faith that there is a substantial likelihood that such initial Liquidity Provider will have the right to claim any such amounts (unless such initial Liquidity Provider waives, in writing, any right it may have to claim such amounts), which determination shall be set forth in a certificate delivered by United to such initial Liquidity Provider setting forth the basis for such determination and accompanied by an opinion of outside counsel selected by United and reasonably acceptable to such initial Liquidity Provider verifying the legal conclusions, if any, of such certificate relating to such basis, provided that, in the case of any likely claim for such amounts based upon any proposed, or proposed change in, law, rule, regulation, interpretation, directive, requirement, request or administrative practice, such opinion may assume the adoption or promulgation of such proposed matter, (B) it shall become unlawful or impossible for such initial Liquidity Provider (or its Facility Office) to maintain or fund its LIBOR Advances as described in Section 3.10 of any Liquidity Facility, (C) any Liquidity Facility of such initial Liquidity Provider shall become a Downgraded Facility or a Non-Extended Facility or a Downgrade Drawing or a Non-Extension Drawing shall have occurred under any Liquidity Facility of such initial Liquidity Provider, (D) such initial Liquidity Provider shall have breached any of its payment (including, without limitation, funding) obligations under any Liquidity Facility in respect of which it is the Liquidity Provider.

(f) Cash Collateral Accounts; Withdrawals; Investments. In the event the Subordination Agent shall draw all available amounts under the Class A Liquidity Facility or the Class B Liquidity Facility pursuant to Section 3.5(c), 3.5(d), 3.5(i) or 3.5(m) hereof, or in the event amounts are to be deposited in the Class A Cash Collateral Account or the Class B Cash Collateral Account pursuant to subclause (A) or (B) of clause “fourth” of Section 3.2, amounts so drawn or to be deposited, as the case may be, shall be deposited by the Subordination Agent in the Class A Cash Collateral Account or the Class B Cash Collateral Account, as applicable. All amounts on deposit in each Cash Collateral Account shall be invested and reinvested in Eligible Investments in accordance with Section 2.2(b) hereof.

On each Interest Payment Date (or, in the case of any Special Distribution Date with respect to the distribution of a Special Payment, on such Special Distribution Date), Investment Earnings on amounts on deposit in each Cash Collateral Account with respect to any Liquidity Facility (or, in the case of any Special Distribution Date with respect to the distribution of a Special Payment, so long as no Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under any Indenture, such Investment Earnings multiplied by the Section 2.4 Fraction) shall be deposited in the Collection Account (or, in the case of any Special Distribution Date with respect to the distribution of a Special Payment, the Special Payments Account) and applied on such Interest Payment Date (or Special Distribution Date, as the case may be) in accordance with Section 3.2 or 3.3 (as applicable).

(iii) on each date on which the Pool Balance of the Class A Trust shall have been reduced by payments made to the Class A Certificateholders pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof or pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Escrow Agreement for such Class, the Subordination Agent shall withdraw from the Class A Cash Collateral Account such amount as is necessary so that, after giving effect to the reduction of the Pool Balance on such date (and any reduction in the amounts on deposit in the Class A Cash Collateral Account resulting from a prior withdrawal of amounts on deposit in the Class A Cash Collateral Account on such date) and any transfer of Investment Earnings from such Cash Collateral Account to the Collection Account or the Special Payments Account on such date, an amount equal to the sum of the Required Amount (with respect to the Class A Liquidity Facility) plus (if on a Distribution Date not coinciding with an Interest Payment Date) Investment Earnings on deposit in such Cash Collateral Account (after giving effect to any such transfer of Investment Earnings) will be on deposit in the Class A Cash Collateral Account and shall first, pay such withdrawn amount to the Class A Liquidity Provider until the Liquidity Obligations (with respect to the Class A Certificates) owing to such Liquidity Provider shall have been paid in full, and second, deposit any remaining withdrawn amount in the Collection Account;

ARTICLE IV

EXERCISE OF REMEDIES

SECTION 4.1. Directions from the Controlling Party. (a) (i) Following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Indenture Event of Default under any Indenture, the Controlling Party (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.6(d)) shall direct the Subordination Agent, as the holder of Equipment Notes issued under such Indenture, which in turn shall direct the Loan Trustee under such Indenture, in the exercise of remedies available to the holder of such Equipment Notes, including, without limitation, the ability to vote all such Equipment Notes held by the Subordination Agent in favor of Accelerating such Equipment Notes in accordance with the provisions of such Indenture. If the Equipment Notes issued pursuant to any Indenture and held by the Subordination Agent have been Accelerated following an Indenture Event of Default with respect thereto, the Controlling Party may direct the Subordination Agent to sell, assign, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver all (but not less than all) of such Equipment Notes to any Person at public or private sale, at any location at the option of the Controlling Party, all upon such terms and conditions as it may reasonably deem advisable in accordance with applicable law.

 

37


(ii) Following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Indenture Event of Default under any Indenture, in the exercise of remedies pursuant to such Indenture, the Loan Trustee under such Indenture may be directed to lease the related Aircraft to any Person (including United) so long as the Loan Trustee in doing so acts in a “commercially reasonable” manner within the meaning of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any applicable jurisdiction (including Sections 9-610 and 9-627 thereof).

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as any Certificates remain Outstanding, during the period ending on the date which is nine months after the earlier of (x) the Acceleration of the Equipment Notes issued pursuant to any Indenture and (y) the occurrence of a United Bankruptcy Event, without the consent of each Trustee, no Aircraft subject to the Lien of such Indenture or such Equipment Notes may be sold if the net proceeds from such sale would be less than the Minimum Sale Price for such Aircraft or such Equipment Notes.

(iv) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Indenture Event of Default under any Indenture, the Subordination Agent will obtain three desktop appraisals from the Appraisers selected by the Controlling Party setting forth the current market value, current lease rate and distressed value (in each case, as defined by the International Society of Transport Aircraft Trading or any successor organization) of the Aircraft subject to such Indenture (each such appraisal, an “Appraisal” and the current market value appraisals being referred to herein as the “Post-Default Appraisals”). For so long as any Indenture Event of Default shall be continuing under any Indenture, and without limiting the right of the Controlling Party to request more frequent Appraisals, the Subordination Agent will obtain updated Appraisals on the date that is 364 days from the date of the most recent Appraisal (or if a United Bankruptcy Event shall have occurred and is continuing, on the date that is 180 days from the date of the most recent Appraisal). The Subordination Agent shall promptly deliver copies of the Appraisals to the Liquidity Providers.

(b) Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Indenture Event of Default under any Indenture, the Controlling Party shall take such actions as it may reasonably deem most effectual to complete the sale or other disposition of the relevant Aircraft or Equipment Notes. In addition, in lieu of any sale, assignment, contract to sell or other disposition, the Controlling Party may maintain or cause the Subordination Agent to maintain possession of such Equipment Notes and continue to apply monies received in respect of such Equipment Notes in accordance with Article III hereof. In addition, in lieu of such sale, assignment, contract to sell or other disposition, or in lieu of such maintenance of possession, the Controlling Party may, subject to the terms and conditions of the related Indenture, instruct the Loan Trustee under such Indenture to foreclose on the Lien on the related Aircraft or to take any other remedial action permitted under such Indenture or under any applicable law.

(c) If following a United Bankruptcy Event and during the pendency thereof, the Controlling Party receives a proposal from or on behalf of United to restructure the financing of any one or more of the Aircraft, the Controlling Party shall promptly thereafter give the Subordination Agent and each Trustee notice of the material economic terms and conditions of such restructuring proposal whereupon the Subordination Agent acting on behalf of each Trustee shall endeavor using reasonable commercial efforts to make such terms and conditions of such restructuring proposal available to all Certificateholders (whether by posting on DTC’s

 

38


Internet board or otherwise). Thereafter, neither the Subordination Agent nor any Trustee, whether acting on instructions of the Controlling Party or otherwise, may, without the consent of each Trustee, enter into any term sheet, stipulation or other agreement (whether in the form of an adequate protection stipulation, an extension under Section 1110(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) to effect any such restructuring proposal with or on behalf of United unless and until the material economic terms and conditions of such restructuring shall have been made available to all Certificateholders for a period of not less than 15 calendar days (except that such requirement shall not apply to any such term sheet, stipulation or other agreement that is entered into on or prior to the expiry of the 60-Day Period and that is effective for a period not longer than three months from the expiry of the 60-Day Period). In the event that any Class B Certificateholder or Additional Certificateholder gives irrevocable notice of the exercise of its right to purchase all (but not less than all) of the senior Class or Classes of Certificates pursuant to the applicable Trust Agreement prior to the expiry of the 15-day notice period specified above, the Controlling Party may not direct the Subordination Agent or any Trustee to enter into any such restructuring proposal with respect to any of the Aircraft unless and until such Certificateholder shall fail to purchase such Class or Classes of Certificates on the date that it is required to make such purchase.

SECTION 4.2. Remedies Cumulative. Each and every right, power and remedy given to the Trustees, the Liquidity Providers, the Controlling Party or the Subordination Agent specifically or otherwise in this Agreement shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may, subject always to the terms and conditions hereof, be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by any Trustee, any Liquidity Provider, the Controlling Party or the Subordination Agent, as appropriate, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy. No delay or omission by any Trustee, any Liquidity Provider, the Controlling Party or the Subordination Agent in the exercise of any right, remedy or power or in the pursuit of any remedy shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any default or to be an acquiescence therein.

SECTION 4.3. Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case any party to this Agreement (including the Controlling Party in such capacity) shall have instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Agreement by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such Proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Person instituting such Proceeding, then and in every such case each such party shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored to its former position and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of such party shall continue as if no such Proceeding had been instituted.

SECTION 4.4. Right of Certificateholders and the Liquidity Providers to Receive Payments Not to Be Impaired. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the right of any Certificateholder (subject to the applicable Trust Agreement) or any Liquidity Provider, respectively, to receive payments hereunder (including without limitation pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof) when due, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the applicable Distribution Date, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Certificateholder or such Liquidity Provider, respectively.

 

39


SECTION 4.5. Undertaking for Costs. In any Proceeding for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Agreement or in any Proceeding against any Controlling Party or the Subordination Agent for any action taken or omitted by it as Controlling Party or Subordination Agent, as the case may be, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. The provisions of this Section do not apply to a suit instituted by the Subordination Agent, a Liquidity Provider or a Trustee or a suit by Certificateholders holding more than 10% of the original principal amount of any Class of Certificates.

The Subordination Agent shall not be required to take any action under Section 5.1 (other than the first sentence thereof) or Article IV hereof, nor shall any other provision of this Agreement be deemed to impose a duty on the Subordination Agent to take any action, if the Subordination Agent shall have been advised by counsel that such action is contrary to the terms hereof or is otherwise contrary to law.

SECTION 9.1. Amendments, Waivers, Possible Future Issuance of an Additional Class of Certificates, etc. (a) This Agreement may not be supplemented, amended or modified without the consent of each Trustee (acting, except in the case of any amendment pursuant to Section 3.5(e)(v)(y) hereof with respect to any Replacement Liquidity Facility or any amendment contemplated by the last sentence of this Section 9.1(a), with the consent of holders of Certificates of the related Class evidencing interests in the related Trust aggregating not less than a majority in interest in such Trust or as otherwise authorized pursuant to the relevant Trust Agreement), the Subordination Agent and each Liquidity Provider; provided, however, that this Agreement may be supplemented, amended or modified without the consent of any Trustee or any Liquidity Provider if such supplement, amendment or modification (i) is in accordance with Section 9.1(c) or Section 9.1(d) hereof or (ii) cures an ambiguity or inconsistency or does not materially adversely affect such Trustee or the holders of the related Class of Certificates or such Liquidity Provider; provided further, however, that, if such supplement, amendment or modification (A) would (x) directly or indirectly modify or supersede, or otherwise conflict with, Section 2.2(b), Section 2.4, Section 3.2, Section 3.5(e), Section 3.5(f), Section 3.5(l), the last sentence of this Section 9.1(a), Section 9.1(c), Section 9.1(d), the second sentence of Section 10.6 or this proviso (collectively, the “United Provisions”) or (y) otherwise adversely affect the interests of a potential Replacement Liquidity Provider or of United with respect to its ability to replace any Liquidity Facility or with respect to its payment obligations under any Operative Agreement or (B) is made pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 9.1(a) or pursuant to Section 9.1(c) or Section 9.1(d), then such supplement, amendment or modification shall not be effective without the additional written consent of United.

46


or amend any provision of this Agreement or to waive compliance therewith or (ii) except as provided in this Section 9.1(a), Section 9.1(c) or Section 9.1(d), modify Section 2.4 or 3.2 hereof, relating to the distribution of monies received by the Subordination Agent hereunder from the Equipment Notes or pursuant to the Liquidity Facilities. Nothing contained in this Section shall require the consent of a Trustee at any time following the payment of Final Distributions with respect to the related Class of Certificates. If the Replacement Liquidity Facility for any Liquidity Facility in accordance with Section 3.5(e) hereof is to be comprised of more than one instrument as contemplated by the definition of the term “Replacement Liquidity Facility”, then each of the parties hereto agrees to amend this Agreement to incorporate appropriate mechanics for multiple Liquidity Facilities for an individual Trust.

(b) In the event that the Subordination Agent, as the registered holder of any Equipment Notes, receives a request for the giving of any notice or for its consent to any amendment, supplement, modification, consent or waiver under such Equipment Notes, the Indenture pursuant to which such Equipment Notes were issued, or the related Participation Agreement or other related document, (i) if no Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to such Indenture, the Subordination Agent shall request directions with respect to each Series of such Equipment Notes from the Trustee of the Trust which holds such Equipment Notes and shall vote or consent in accordance with the directions of such Trustee, and (ii) if any Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to such Indenture, the Subordination Agent will exercise its voting rights with respect to such Equipment Notes as directed by the Controlling Party (subject to Sections 4.1 and 4.4 hereof); provided that no such amendment, modification or waiver shall, without the consent of each affected Certificateholder and each Liquidity Provider, reduce the amount of principal or interest payable by United under any Equipment Note or change the time of payments or method of calculation of any amount under any Equipment Note.

(c) If Series B Equipment Notes issued with respect to all of the Aircraft are redeemed and re-issued in accordance with the terms of Section 2.10(c) of each Indenture, such series of re-issued Equipment Notes (the “Refinancing Equipment Notes”) shall be issued to a new pass through trust (a “Refinancing Trust”) that issues a class of pass through certificates (the “Refinancing Certificates”) to certificateholders (the “Refinancing Certificateholders”) pursuant to a pass through trust agreement (a “Refinancing Trust Agreement”) with a trustee (a “Refinancing Trustee”). A Refinancing Trust, a Refinancing Trustee and the Refinancing Certificates shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement in the same manner as the Class B Trust, the Class B Trustee and the Class B Certificates, including the subordination of the Refinancing Certificates to the Administration Expenses, the Liquidity Obligations and the Class A Certificates. Such issuance of Refinancing Equipment Notes and Refinancing Certificates and the amendment of this Agreement as provided below shall require Ratings Confirmation and shall not materially adversely affect any of the Trustees. This Agreement shall be amended by written agreement of United and the Subordination Agent to give effect to the issuance of the Refinancing Certificates subject to the following terms and conditions:

(i) the Refinancing Trustee shall be added as a party to this Agreement;

 

47


(ii) the definitions of “Certificate”, “Class”, “Class B Certificates”, “Final Legal Distribution Date”, “Trust”, “Trust Agreement” and “Controlling Party” (and such other applicable definitions) shall be revised, as appropriate, to reflect such issuance (and the subordination of the Refinancing Certificates and the Refinancing Equipment Notes);

(iii) the Refinancing Certificates may have the benefit of credit support similar to the Class B Liquidity Facility; provided that claims for fees, interest, expenses, reimbursement of advances and other obligations arising from such credit support may rank pari passu with similar claims in respect of the Class B Liquidity Facility so long as a Ratings Confirmation and the prior written consent of the Liquidity Providers shall have been obtained;

(iv) the Refinancing Certificates cannot be issued to United but may be issued to any of United’s Affiliates so long as such Affiliate shall have bankruptcy remote and special purpose provisions in its certificate of incorporation or other organizational documents and any subsequent transfer of the Refinancing Certificates to any Affiliate of United shall be similarly restricted; and

(v) the scheduled payment dates on the Refinancing Equipment Notes shall be on the Regular Distribution Dates.

The issuance of the Refinancing Certificates in compliance with all of the foregoing terms of this Section 9.1(c) shall not require the consent of any of the Trustees or the holders of any Class of Certificates. Each of the Liquidity Providers hereby agrees and confirms that it shall be deemed to consent to any issuance and amendment in accordance with this Section 9.1(c) (subject to the Liquidity Providers’ consent right in Section 9.1(c)(iii)) and any such issuance and amendment shall not affect any of its respective obligations under the Liquidity Facilities.

(d) Pursuant to the terms of Section 2.02 of each Indenture, a single additional series of Equipment Notes (the “Additional Equipment Notes”), which shall be subordinated in right of payment to the Series A Equipment Notes and the Series B Equipment Notes under such Indenture, may be issued at any time and from time to time after the Deposit Period Termination Date. If Additional Equipment Notes are issued under one or more of the Indentures, such Additional Equipment Notes shall be issued to a new pass through trust (an “Additional Trust”) that issues a class of pass through certificates (the “Additional Certificates”) to certificateholders (the “Additional Certificateholders”) pursuant to a pass through trust agreement (an “Additional Trust Agreement”) with a trustee (an “Additional Trustee”). In such case, this Agreement shall be amended by written agreement of United and the Subordination Agent to provide for the subordination of the Additional Certificates to the Administration Expenses, the Liquidity Obligations, the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates. Such issuance and the amendment of this Agreement as provided below shall require Ratings Confirmation and shall not materially adversely affect any of the Trustees. This Agreement shall be amended by written agreement of United and the Subordination Agent to give effect to the issuance of any Additional Certificates subject to the following terms and conditions:

(i) the Additional Trustee shall be added as a party to this Agreement;

 

48


(ii) the definitions of “Certificate”, “Class”, “Equipment Notes”, “Final Legal Distribution Date”, “Trust”, “Trust Agreement” and “Controlling Party” (and such other applicable definitions) shall be revised, as appropriate, to reflect the issuance of the Additional Certificates (and the subordination thereof);

(iii) the Additional Certificates shall not have the benefit of any credit support similar to the Liquidity Facilities;

(iv) the Additional Certificates cannot be issued to United but may be issued to any of United’s Affiliates so long as such Affiliate shall have bankruptcy remote and special purpose provisions in its certificate of incorporation or other organizational documents and any subsequent transfer of the Additional Certificates to any Affiliate of United shall be similarly restricted;

(v) the provisions of this Agreement governing payments with respect to Certificates and related notices, including Sections 2.4, 3.1 and 3.2, shall be revised to provide for distributions on the Additional Certificates after payment of Administration Expenses, the Liquidity Obligations, the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates; and

(vi) the scheduled payment dates for such series of Additional Equipment Notes shall be on the Regular Distribution Dates.

The issuance of the Additional Certificates in compliance with all of the foregoing terms of this Section 9.1(d) shall not require the consent of any of the Trustees or the holders of any Class of Certificates. Each of the Liquidity Providers hereby agrees and confirms that it shall be deemed to consent to any issuance and amendment in accordance with this Section 9.1(d) and any such issuance and amendment shall not affect any of its respective obligations under the Liquidity Facilities.

SECTION 9.2. Subordination Agent Protected. If, in the reasonable opinion of the institution acting as the Subordination Agent hereunder, any document required to be executed pursuant to the terms of Section 9.1 affects any right, duty, immunity or indemnity with respect to it under this Agreement or any Liquidity Facility, the Subordination Agent may in its discretion decline to execute such document.

SECTION 9.3. Effect of Supplemental Agreements. Upon the execution of any amendment, consent or supplement hereto pursuant to the provisions hereof, this Agreement shall be and be deemed to be and shall be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this Agreement of the parties hereto and beneficiaries hereof shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental agreement shall be and be deemed to be and shall be part of the terms and conditions of this Agreement for any and all purposes. In executing or accepting any supplemental agreement permitted by this Article IX, the Subordination Agent shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an opinion of counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental agreement is authorized or permitted by this Agreement.

 

49


SECTION 9.4. Notice to Rating Agencies. Promptly upon receipt of any amendment, consent, modification, supplement or waiver contemplated by this Article IX and prior to taking any action required to be taken thereunder, the Subordination Agent shall send a copy thereof to each Rating Agency.

SECTION 10.8. Counterpart Form. This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same agreement.

SECTION 10.9. Subordination. (a) As between the Liquidity Providers (and any additional liquidity provider in respect of any Refinancing Certificates), on the one hand, and the Trustees (and any Refinancing Trustees or Additional Trustee) and the Certificateholders (and any Refinancing Certificateholders or Additional Certificateholders), on the other hand, and as among the Trustees (and any Refinancing Trustees or Additional Trustee) and the related Certificateholders (and any Refinancing Certificateholders or Additional Certificateholders), this Agreement shall be a subordination agreement for purposes of Section 510 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended from time to time.

(v) take any other action which might discharge a subordinated party or a surety under applicable law;

provided, however, that the taking of any such actions by any of the Trustees, the Liquidity Providers or the Subordination Agent shall not prejudice the rights or adversely affect the obligations of any other party under this Agreement.

53


(iii) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to each party hereto at its address set forth in Section 10.3 hereof, or at such other address of which the other parties shall have been notified pursuant thereto; and

(iv) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 1. Financing of Aircraft. (a) The Company agrees to finance the Aircraft in the manner provided herein, all on and subject to the terms and conditions hereof and of the relevant Financing Agreements.

(b) In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company agrees to give the parties hereto, the Depositary and each of the Rating Agencies not less than two Business Days’ prior notice substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (a “Closing Notice”) of the scheduled closing date (the “Scheduled Closing Date”) (or, in the case of a substitute Closing Notice under Section 1(e) hereof, one Business Days’ prior notice) in respect of the financing of the Aircraft under this Agreement, which notice shall:

(i) specify the Scheduled Closing Date of the Aircraft (which shall be a Business Day before the Cut-off Date and the date (the “Funding Date”) on which the financing therefor in the manner provided herein shall be consummated);

(ii) instruct the Pass Through Trustees to enter into the Participation Agreements included in the Financing Agreements with respect to each relevant Aircraft at such a time on or before the Funding Date specified in such Closing Notice and to perform its obligations thereunder;

(iii) instruct the Pass Through Trustees to instruct the relevant Escrow Agent to provide a Notice of Purchase Withdrawal to the Depositary with respect to the Equipment Notes to be issued to the Pass Through Trustees in connection with the financing of the relevant Aircraft; and

(iv) specify the aggregate principal amount of each series of the Equipment Notes to be issued, and purchased by the Pass Through Trustees, in connection with the financing of the Aircraft scheduled on such Funding Date.

(c) Upon receipt of a Closing Notice, the Pass Through Trustees shall, and shall cause the Subordination Agent to, enter into and perform their respective obligations under the Participation Agreements specified in such Closing Notice, provided that such Participation Agreements and the Indentures to be entered into pursuant to such Participation Agreements shall be in the forms thereof annexed hereto. With respect to each Aircraft to be refinanced on a Closing Date, the Company shall cause WTC (or such other person that meets the eligibility requirements to act as loan trustee under the relevant Indentures) to execute as Loan Trustee the Financing Agreements relating to such Aircraft to which such Loan Trustee is intended to be a party, and the Company shall concurrently therewith execute such Financing Agreements to which the Company is intended to be a party and perform its respective obligations thereunder. Upon the request of either Rating Agency, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to such Rating Agency a true and complete copy of each Financing Agreement relating to the financing of each Aircraft together with a true and complete set of the closing documentation (including legal opinions) delivered to the related Loan Trustee, Subordination Agent and Pass Through Trustees under the related Participation Agreement.

[Note Purchase Agreement]

 

(d) The Company agrees that all Equipment Notes issued pursuant to any Indenture shall initially be registered in the name of the Subordination Agent on behalf of the relevant Pass Through Trustee (or, in the case of any Additional Series Equipment Notes, on behalf of the Additional Pass Through Trustee with respect to the corresponding Additional Certificates).

(e) If after giving any Closing Notice, there shall be a delay in the refinancing of the Encumbered Aircraft, or if on the Scheduled Closing Date of the Encumbered Aircraft or Unencumbered Aircraft referred to therein the financing thereof in the manner contemplated hereby shall not be consummated for whatever reason, the Company shall give the parties hereto and the Depositary prompt notice thereof. Concurrently with the giving of such notice of postponement or subsequently, the Company shall give the parties hereto and the Depositary a substitute Closing Notice specifying the date to which the financing of such Aircraft shall have been re-scheduled (which shall be a Business Day before the Cut-off Date on which the Escrow Agents shall be entitled to withdraw one or more Deposits under each of the applicable Deposit Agreements to enable each applicable Pass Through Trustee to fund its purchase of the related Equipment Notes). Upon receipt of any such notice of postponement, each applicable Pass Through Trustee shall comply with its obligations under Section 5.01 of each of the Trust Supplements and thereafter the financing of such Aircraft, as specified in such substitute Closing Notice, shall take place on the re-scheduled Closing Date therefor (all on and subject to the terms and conditions of the relevant Financing Agreements) unless further postponed as provided herein.

(f) The Company shall have no liability for the failure of the Pass Through Trustees to purchase Equipment Notes with respect to any Aircraft it is obligated to purchase hereunder.

(g) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not have the right, and shall not be entitled, at any time to request the issuance of Equipment Notes of any series to any Pass Through Trustee in an aggregate principal amount in excess of the amount of the Deposits then available for withdrawal by the Escrow Agent under and in accordance with the provisions of the related Deposit Agreement.

Section 2. Conditions Precedent. The obligation of the Pass Through Trustees to enter into, and to cause the Subordination Agent to enter into, any Participation Agreement as directed pursuant to a Closing Notice and to perform its obligations thereunder is subject to no Triggering Event having occurred. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligation of each Pass Through Trustee to purchase Equipment Notes shall terminate on the Cut-off Date.

Upon the execution and delivery of the Replacement Deposit Agreements, the Replacement Depositary shall be deemed to be the Depositary with all of the rights and obligations of the Depositary hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements and the Replacement Deposit Agreements shall be deemed to be the Deposit Agreements hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements, except that the obligations of the replaced Depositary under the Deposit Agreements resulting from the delivery of any Withdrawal Notice delivered thereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the execution and delivery of the Replacement Deposit Agreements.

(iv) Promptly after the occurrence of a Triggering Event or an Indenture Event of Default resulting from the failure of the Company to make payments on any Equipment Note and on every Regular Distribution Date while the Triggering Event or such Indenture Event of Default shall be continuing, the Company will, at the Subordination Agent’s request from time to time but in any event no more frequently than once every three months, provide to the Subordination Agent a statement setting forth the following information with respect to each Aircraft then subject to the lien of an Indenture: (A) whether the Aircraft are currently in service or parked in storage, (B) the maintenance status of the Aircraft and (C) the location of the Engines (as defined in the respective Indentures to which such Aircraft are subject).

(c) The Subordination Agent covenants with each of the other parties hereto that it will not agree or consent to any amendment or modification to the Liquidity Facility or the United Provisions (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) of the Intercreditor Agreement without the Company’s consent.

(d) The Escrow Agent covenants with each of the other parties hereto that it will not agree or consent to any amendment or modification to any Deposit Agreement or Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement without the Company’s consent.

(b) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (and each of the parties hereto shall not be required to execute the same counterpart). Each counterpart of this Agreement, including a signature page executed by each of the parties hereto, shall be an original counterpart of this Agreement, but all of such counterparts together shall constitute one instrument.

7.1.4 Notice and Contest. If a claim is made against an Indemnitee involving one or more Expenses and such Indemnitee has notice thereof, such Indemnitee shall promptly after receiving such notice give notice of such claim to Owner; provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not release Owner from any of its obligations to indemnify hereunder except to the extent that such failure results in an additional Expense to Owner (in which case Owner shall not be responsible for such additional Expense) or Owner is prejudiced as a result of the failure to give such notice in a timely fashion, and no payment by Owner to an Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 7.1 shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or release of any right or remedy which Owner may have against such Indemnitee for any actual damages as a result of the failure by such Indemnitee to give Owner such notice. Owner shall be entitled, at its sole cost and expense, acting through counsel reasonably acceptable to the respective Indemnitee, so long as Owner has acknowledged in writing its responsibility for such Expense hereunder (provided that such acknowledgment does not apply if such Expense is covered by Section 7.1.2 or if the decision of a court or arbitrator provides that Owner is not liable hereunder), (A) in any judicial or administrative proceeding that involves solely a claim for one or more Expenses, to assume responsibility for and control thereof, (B) in any judicial or administrative proceeding involving a claim for one or more Expenses and other claims related or unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements, to assume responsibility for and control of such claim for Expenses to the extent that the same may be and is severed from such other claims (and such Indemnitee shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain such severance), and (C) in any other case, to be consulted by such Indemnitee with respect to judicial proceedings subject to the control of such Indemnitee and to be allowed, at Owner’s sole expense, to participate therein. An Indemnitee may participate at its own expense and with its own counsel in any judicial proceeding controlled by Owner pursuant to the preceding provisions. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, Owner shall not be entitled to assume responsibility for and control of any such judicial or administrative proceedings if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if such proceedings will involve a material risk of the sale, forfeiture or loss of, or the creation of any Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) on the Aircraft or the Collateral, unless Owner shall have posted a bond or other security reasonably satisfactory to the relevant Indemnitee with respect to such risk or if such proceedings could entail any risk of criminal liability being imposed on such Indemnitee.

Each affected Indemnitee shall supply Owner with such information reasonably requested by Owner as is necessary or advisable for Owner to control or participate in any proceeding to the extent permitted by this Section 7.1. Such Indemnitee shall not enter into a settlement or other compromise with respect to any Expense without the prior written consent of Owner, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless such Indemnitee waives its right to be indemnified with respect to such Expense under this Section 7.1.

Owner shall supply each affected Indemnitee with such information reasonably requested by such Indemnitee as is necessary or advisable for such Indemnitee to control or participate in any proceeding to the extent permitted by this Section 7.1.

7.1.5 Subrogation; Reimbursement. To the extent of any payment of any Expense pursuant to this Section 7.1, Owner, without any further action, shall be subrogated to any claims the affected Indemnitee may have relating thereto (other than with respect to any of such Indemnitee’s insurance policies). Such Indemnitee agrees to give such further assurances or agreements and to cooperate with Owner to permit Owner to pursue such claims, if any, to the extent reasonably requested by Owner.

[Participation Agreement [NXXXUA]]

 

In the event that Owner shall have paid an Expense to an Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 7.1, and such Indemnitee subsequently shall be reimbursed in respect of such indemnified amount from any other Person, such Indemnitee shall promptly pay Owner the amount of such reimbursement, including interest received attributable thereto, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case such amounts shall be paid over to Mortgagee to hold as security for Owner’s obligations as provided in Section 6.06 of the Trust Indenture.

Any indemnity payable under this Section 7.1 shall be payable by Owner within 30 days of the demand therefor (accompanied by supporting documentation) by the Indemnitee entitled thereto.

7.2 Transaction Costs.

7.2.1 Invoices and Payment. Each of the Mortgagee, the Pass Through Trustees and the Subordination Agent shall promptly submit to Owner for its prompt approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) copies of invoices in reasonable detail of the Transaction Expenses for which it is responsible for providing information as they are received (but in no event later than the 90th day after the Closing Date). If so submitted and approved, the Owner agrees promptly, but in any event no later than the 105th day after the Closing Date, to pay Transaction Expenses.

7.2.2 Payment of Other Expenses. Owner shall pay (i) the ongoing fees and expenses of Mortgagee as set out in separate letter agreement, and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by Mortgagee or any Note Holder in connection with any waiver, amendment or modification of any Operative Agreement to the extent requested by Owner (including without limitation in connection with the issuance of any Additional Equipment Notes and related Additional Certificates).

Section 8. Assignment or Transfer of Interests.

8.1 Note Holders. Subject to Section 5.3.2 hereof and Section 2.06 of the Trust Indenture, any Note Holder may, at any time and from time to time, Transfer or grant participations in all or any portion of the Equipment Notes and/or all or any portion of its beneficial interest in its Equipment Notes to any person (it being understood that the sale or issuance of Pass Through Certificates by a Pass Through Trustee shall not be considered a Transfer or participation); provided, that any participant in any such participations shall not have any direct rights under the Operative Agreements or any Lien on all or any part of the Aircraft or Collateral and Owner shall not have any increased liability or obligations as a result of any such participation. In the case of any such Transfer, the Transferee, by acceptance of Equipment Notes in connection with such Transfer, shall be deemed to be bound by all of the covenants of Note Holders contained in the Operative Agreements and certain terms of the Intercreditor Agreement as specified in such Equipment Notes and/or Section 2.07 of the Trust Indenture.

8.2 Effect of Transfer. Upon any Transfer in accordance with Section 8.1 (other than any Transfer by any Note Holder, to the extent it only grants participations in Equipment Notes or in its beneficial interest therein), Transferee shall be deemed a “Note Holder,” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements and each reference herein to Note Holder, shall thereafter be deemed a reference to such Transferee for all purposes, and the transferring Note Holder shall be released from all of its liabilities and obligations under this Agreement and any other Operative Agreements to the extent such liabilities and obligations arise after such Transfer and, in each case, to the extent such liabilities and obligations are assumed by the Transferee; provided, that such transferring Note Holder (and its respective Affiliates, successors, assigns, agents, servants, representatives, directors and officers) will continue to have the benefit of any rights or indemnities under any Operative Agreement vested or relating to circumstances, conditions, acts or events prior to such Transfer.

Section 9. Section 1110.

10.2 Mortgagee. Upon WTC giving any notice in accordance with Section 10.1, Mortgagee shall (if and so long as such citizenship is necessary under the Act as in effect at such time or, if it is not necessary, if and so long as Mortgagee’s citizenship could have any adverse effect on Owner or any Note Holder), subject to Section 9.02 of the Trust Indenture, resign (subject to the appointment of a replacement) as Mortgagee promptly upon its ceasing to be such a citizen.

Section 11. Miscellaneous.

[Trust Indenture and Mortgage (NXXXUA)]

 

extent payable pursuant to clause (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) above and (B) fees payable under Section 2.03 of each Liquidity Facility, (vii) Owner’s pro rata share of all compensation and reimbursement of expenses, disbursements and advances payable by Owner under the Pass Through Trust Agreements and (viii) Owner’s pro rata share of all compensation and reimbursement of expenses, disbursements payable to the Subordination Agent under the Intercreditor Agreement except with respect to any Unindemnified Taxes incurred by the Subordination Agent in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Intercreditor Agreement and (ix) in the event Owner requests any amendment to any Operative Agreement or Pass Through Agreements, Owner’s pro rata share of all reasonable fees and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel) of the relevant Escrow Agent and the relevant Paying Agent in connection therewith payable by each Pass Through Trustee under the relevant Escrow Agreement. As used herein, “Owner’s pro rata share” means as of any time a fraction, the numerator of which is the principal balance then outstanding of Equipment Notes and the denominator of which is the aggregate principal balance then outstanding of all “Equipment Notes” (as each such term is defined in each of the Operative Indentures). For purposes of this paragraph, the terms “Applied Downgrade Advance”, “Applied Non-Extension Advance”, “Applied Special Termination Advance”, “Downgrade Advance”, “Final Advance”, “Investment Earnings”, “Non-Extension Advance”, “Special Termination Advance” and “Unpaid Advance” shall have the meanings specified in each Liquidity Facility or the Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable.

The Equipment Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Owner by one of its authorized officers. Equipment Notes bearing the signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Owner shall bind the Owner, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Equipment Notes or did not hold such offices at the respective dates of such Equipment Notes. The Owner may from time to time execute and deliver Equipment Notes with respect to the Aircraft to the Mortgagee for authentication upon original issue and such Equipment Notes shall thereupon be authenticated and delivered by the Mortgagee upon the written request of the Owner signed by an authorized officer of the Owner. No Equipment Note shall be secured by or entitled to any benefit under this Trust Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purposes, unless there appears on such Equipment Note a certificate of authentication in the form provided for herein executed by the Mortgagee by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers and such certificate upon any Equipment Notes be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Equipment Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

The aggregate Original Amount of any Series of Equipment Notes issued hereunder shall not exceed the amount set forth as the maximum therefore on Schedule I hereto (as amended, in the case of any Additional Series, at the time of original issuance of such Additional Series).

Section 2.03 Method of Payment.

(a) The Original Amount of, interest on, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and other amounts due under each Equipment Note or hereunder will be payable in Dollars by wire transfer of immediately available funds not later than 11:30 a.m., Chicago, Illinois time, on the due date of payment to the Mortgagee at the Corporate Trust Office for distribution among the Note Holders in the manner provided herein and payment of such amount to the Mortgagee shall be deemed to satisfy the Owner’s obligation to make

 

12


[Trust Indenture and Mortgage (NXXXUA)]

 

such payment. The Owner shall not have any responsibility for the distribution of such payment to any Note Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision in any Equipment Note to the contrary, the Mortgagee will use reasonable efforts to pay or cause to be paid, if so directed in writing by any Note Holder (with a copy to the Owner), all amounts paid by the Owner hereunder and under such holder’s Equipment Note or Equipment Notes to such holder or a nominee therefor (including all amounts distributed pursuant to Article III of this Trust Indenture) by transferring, or causing to be transferred, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in Dollars, prior to 1:00 p.m., Chicago, Illinois time, on the due date of payment, to an account maintained by such holder with a bank located in the continental United States the amount to be distributed to such holder, for credit to the account of such holder maintained at such bank. If the Mortgagee shall fail to make any such payment as provided in the immediately foregoing sentence after its receipt of funds at the place and prior to the time specified above, the Mortgagee, in its individual capacity and not as trustee, agrees to compensate such holders for loss of use of funds at the applicable Debt Rate until such payment is made and the Mortgagee shall be entitled to any interest earned on such funds until such payment is made. Any payment made hereunder shall be made without any presentment or surrender of any Equipment Note, except that, in the case of the final payment in respect of any Equipment Note, such Equipment Note shall be surrendered to the Mortgagee for cancellation promptly after such payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust Indenture to the contrary, the Mortgagee shall not be required to make, or cause to be made, wire transfers as aforesaid prior to the first Business Day on which it is practicable for the Mortgagee to do so in view of the time of day when the funds to be so transferred were received by it if such funds were received after 12:30 p.m., Chicago, Illinois time, at the place of payment. Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of any Equipment Note, the Owner and the Mortgagee shall deem and treat the Person in whose name any Equipment Note is registered on the Equipment Note Register as the absolute owner and holder of such Equipment Note for the purpose of receiving payment of all amounts payable with respect to such Equipment Note and for all other purposes, and none of the Owner or the Mortgagee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. So long as any signatory to the Participation Agreement or nominee thereof shall be a registered Note Holder, all payments to it shall be made to the account of such Note Holder specified in Schedule I thereto and otherwise in the manner provided in or pursuant to the Participation Agreement unless it shall have specified some other account or manner of payment by notice to the Mortgagee consistent with this Section 2.03.

(b) The Mortgagee, as agent for the Owner, shall exclude and withhold at the appropriate rate from each payment of Original Amount of, interest on, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and other amounts due hereunder or under each Equipment Note (and such exclusion and withholding shall constitute payment in respect of such Equipment Note) any and all United States withholding taxes applicable thereto as required by Law. The Mortgagee agrees to act as such withholding agent and, in connection therewith, whenever any present or future United States taxes or similar charges are required to be withheld with respect to any amounts payable hereunder or in respect of the Equipment Notes, to withhold such amounts and timely pay the same to the appropriate authority in the name of and on behalf of the Note Holders, that it will file any necessary United States withholding tax returns or statements when due, and that as promptly as possible after the payment thereof it will deliver to each Note Holder (with a copy to the Owner) appropriate receipts showing the payment thereof, together with such additional documentary evidence as any such Note Holder may reasonably request from time to time.

 

13


[Trust Indenture and Mortgage (NXXXUA)]

 

If a Note Holder which is a Non-U.S. Person has furnished to the Mortgagee a properly completed and accurate U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8EXP, W-8IMY or W-8ECI (or such successor form or forms as may be required by the United States Treasury Department) that is effective at the time a payment hereunder or under the Equipment Note(s) held by such holder is made and has not notified the Mortgagee of the withdrawal or inaccuracy of such form prior to the date of such payment (and the Mortgagee has no reason to believe that any information set forth in such form is inaccurate), the Mortgagee shall withhold only the amount, if any, required by Law (after taking into account any applicable exemptions properly claimed by the Note Holder) to be withheld from payments hereunder or under the Equipment Notes held by such holder in respect of United States federal income tax. If a Note Holder (x) which is a Non-U.S. Person has furnished to the Mortgagee a properly completed, accurate and currently effective U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI in duplicate (or such successor certificate, form or forms as may be required by the United States Treasury Department as necessary in order to properly avoid withholding of United States federal income tax), for each calendar year in which a payment is made (but prior to the making of any payment for such year), and has not notified the Mortgagee of the withdrawal or inaccuracy of such certificate or form prior to the date of such payment (and the Mortgagee has no reason to believe that any information set forth in such form is inaccurate) or (y) which is a U.S. Person has furnished to the Mortgagee a properly completed, accurate and currently effective U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, if applicable, prior to a payment hereunder or under the Equipment Notes held by such holder, no amount shall be withheld from payments in respect of United States federal income tax. If any Note Holder has notified the Mortgagee that any of the foregoing forms or certificates is withdrawn or inaccurate, or if such holder has not filed a form claiming an exemption from United States withholding tax or if the Code or the regulations thereunder or the administrative interpretation thereof is at any time after the date hereof amended to require such withholding of United States federal income taxes from payments under the Equipment Notes held by such holder, the Mortgagee agrees to withhold from each payment due to the relevant Note Holder United States federal withholding taxes at the appropriate rate under Law and will, on a timely basis as more fully provided above, deposit such amounts with an authorized depository and make such returns, statements, receipts and other documentary evidence in connection therewith as required by Law.

Owner shall not have any liability for the failure of the Mortgagee to withhold United States federal taxes in the manner provided for herein or for any false, inaccurate or untrue evidence provided by any Note Holder hereunder.

Section 2.04 Application of Payments. In the case of each Equipment Note, each payment of Original Amount, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest due thereon shall be applied:

First: to the payment of Make-Whole Amount, if any, with respect to such Equipment Note and any other amount (other than as covered by any of the following clauses) due hereunder with respect to such Equipment Note or under such Equipment Note;

Second: to the payment of accrued interest on such Equipment Note (as well as any interest on any overdue Original Amount, any overdue Make-Whole Amount, if any, and to the extent permitted by Law, any overdue interest and any other overdue amounts thereunder) to the date of such payment;

 

14


[Trust Indenture and Mortgage (NXXXUA)]

 

Third: to the payment of the Original Amount of such Equipment Note (or a portion thereof) then due thereunder; and

Fourth: the balance, if any, remaining thereafter, to the payment of the Original Amount of such Equipment Note remaining unpaid (provided that such Equipment Note shall not be subject to redemption except as provided in Sections 2.09, 2.10 and 2.11 hereof).

The amounts paid pursuant to clause “Fourth” above shall be applied to the installments of Original Amount of such Equipment Note in the inverse order of their scheduled maturity.

Section 2.05 Termination of Interest in Collateral. No Note Holder or any other Indenture Indemnitee shall, as such, have any further interest in, or other right with respect to, the Collateral when and if all of the Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full.

No Related Secured Party shall have any further interest in, or other right with respect to, the Collateral when and if all Related Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full.

Section 2.06 Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Equipment Notes. The Mortgagee shall keep a register (the “Equipment Note Register”) in which the Mortgagee shall provide for the registration of Equipment Notes and the registration of transfers of Equipment Notes. No such transfer shall be given effect unless and until registration hereunder shall have occurred. The Equipment Note Register shall be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Mortgagee. The Mortgagee is hereby appointed “Equipment Note Registrar” for the purpose of registering Equipment Notes and transfers of Equipment Notes as herein provided. A holder of any Equipment Note intending to exchange such Equipment Note shall surrender such Equipment Note to the Mortgagee at the Corporate Trust Office, together with a written request from the registered holder thereof for the issuance of a new Equipment Note, specifying, in the case of a surrender for transfer, the name and address of the new holder or holders. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Equipment Note, the Owner shall execute, and the Mortgagee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Equipment Notes of a like aggregate Original Amount and of the same Series. At the option of the Note Holder, Equipment Notes may be exchanged for other Equipment Notes of any authorized denominations of a like aggregate Original Amount and of the same Series, upon surrender of the Equipment Notes to be exchanged to the Mortgagee at the Corporate Trust Office. Whenever any Equipment Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Owner shall execute, and the Mortgagee shall authenticate and deliver, the Equipment Notes which the Note Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. All Equipment Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Equipment Notes (whether under this Section 2.06 or under Section 2.07 hereof or otherwise under this Trust Indenture) shall be the valid obligations of the Owner evidencing the same respective obligations, and entitled to the same security and benefits under this Trust Indenture, as the Equipment Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. Every Equipment Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer, shall (if so required by the Mortgagee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the

 

15


[Trust Indenture and Mortgage (NXXXUA)]

 

Mortgagee duly executed by the Note Holder or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and the Mortgagee shall require evidence satisfactory to it as to the compliance of any such transfer with the Securities Act, and the securities Laws of any applicable state. The Mortgagee shall make a notation on each new Equipment Note of the amount of all payments of Original Amount previously made on the old Equipment Note or Equipment Notes with respect to which such new Equipment Note is issued and the date to which interest on such old Equipment Note or Equipment Notes has been paid. Interest shall be deemed to have been paid on such new Equipment Note to the date on which interest shall have been paid on such old Equipment Note, and all payments of the Original Amount, marked on such new Equipment Note, as provided above, shall be deemed to have been made thereon. The Owner shall not be required to exchange any surrendered Equipment Notes as provided above during the ten-day period preceding the due date of any scheduled payment on such Equipment Note. The Owner shall in all cases deem the Person in whose name any Equipment Note shall have been issued and registered as the absolute owner and holder of such Equipment Note for the purpose of receiving payment of all amounts payable by the Owner with respect to such Equipment Note and for all purposes until a notice stating otherwise is received from the Mortgagee and such change is reflected on the Equipment Note Register. The Mortgagee will promptly notify the Owner of each registration of a transfer of an Equipment Note. Any such transferee of an Equipment Note, by its acceptance of an Equipment Note, (i) agrees to the provisions of this Trust Indenture and the Participation Agreement applicable to Note Holders, including Sections 5.3, 5.4 and 8.1 thereof and shall be deemed to have covenanted to the parties to the Participation Agreement as to the matters covenanted by the original Note Holder in the Participation Agreement, (ii) agrees to the restrictions set forth in Sections 4.1(a)(ii) and 4.1(a)(iii) of the Intercreditor Agreement, and (iii) shall be deemed to have covenanted to the parties to the Intercreditor Agreement not to give any direction, or otherwise authorize, the Mortgagee to take any action that would violate Sections 4.1(a)(ii) or 4.1(a)(iii) of the Intercreditor Agreement and (iii) shall be deemed to have made the representation and warranty set forth in Section 5.3.3 of the Participation Agreement. Subject to compliance by the Note Holder and its transferee (if any) of the requirements set forth in this Section 2.06, Mortgagee and Owner shall use all reasonable efforts to issue new Equipment Notes upon transfer or exchange within ten Business Days of the date an Equipment Note is surrendered for transfer or exchange.

Section 2.07 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Equipment Notes.

documents shall have been duly filed, registered or recorded in such public offices as may be required fully to preserve the first priority security interest (subject to Permitted Liens) and International Interest of Mortgagee in the Aircraft, Airframe and Engines; (5) Owner shall reimburse Mortgagee for all of its reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, incurred by Mortgagee in connection with any such lease; and (6) Owner shall ensure that no lease or transfer of possession otherwise in compliance with this Section 4.02(b) shall permit any action not permitted to the Owner hereunder. Except as otherwise provided herein and without in any way relieving the Owner from its primary obligation for the performance of its obligations under this Trust Indenture, the Owner may in its sole discretion permit a lessee (but not a sublessee) to exercise any or all rights which the Owner would be entitled to exercise under Sections 4.02 and 4.04, and may cause a lessee (but not a sublessee) to perform any or all of the Owner’s obligations under Article IV, and the Mortgagee agrees to accept actual and full performance thereof by a lessee (but not a sublessee) in lieu of performance by the Owner. The Owner shall promptly, but not later than 10 Business Days after entering into such lease, notify the Mortgagee of the existence of such lease with a term in excess of one year and provide a copy of such lease to the Mortgagee.

No pooling agreement, Permitted Lease or other relinquishment of possession of the Airframe or any Engine shall in any way discharge or diminish any of Owner’s obligations to the Mortgagee under this Trust Indenture or constitute a waiver of Mortgagee’s rights or remedies hereunder.

The Mortgagee agrees, and each Note Holder by acceptance of an Equipment Note agrees, and each Related Note Holder by acceptance of a Related Equipment Note agrees, for the benefit of Owner (and any Permitted Lessee) and for the benefit of any mortgagee or other holder of a security interest in any engine (other than an Engine) owned by Owner (or any Permitted Lessee), any lessor of any engine (other than an Engine) leased to Owner (or any Permitted Lessee) and any conditional vendor of any engine (other than an Engine) purchased by Owner (or any Permitted Lessee) subject to a conditional sale agreement or any other security agreement, that no interest shall be created under this Trust Indenture in any engine so owned, leased or purchased and that neither the Mortgagee, the Note Holders, the Related Note Holders nor their successors or assigns will acquire or claim, as against Owner (or any Permitted Lessee) or any such mortgagee, lessor or conditional vendor or other holder of a security interest or any successor or assignee of any thereof, any right, title or interest in such engine as the result of such engine being installed on the Airframe.

Any Wet Lease or similar arrangement under which Owner maintains operational control of the Aircraft shall not constitute a delivery, transfer or relinquishment of possession for purposes of this Section 4.02. The Mortgagee acknowledges that any consolidation or merger of Owner or conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of Owner’s assets permitted by the Operative Documents shall not be prohibited by this Section 4.02.

(c) Operation and Use. So long as the Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine is subject to the Lien of this Trust Indenture, the Owner shall not operate, use or locate the Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine, or allow the Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine to be operated, used or located, (i) in any area excluded from coverage by any insurance required by the terms of Section 4.06, except in the

 

29


[Trust Indenture and Mortgage (NXXXUA)]

 

case of a requisition by the U.S. Government where the Owner obtains indemnity in lieu of such insurance from the U.S. Government or insurance from the U.S. Government against substantially the same risks and for at least the amounts of the insurance required by Section 4.06 covering such area, or (ii) in any recognized area of hostilities unless covered in accordance with Section 4.06 by war risk insurance, or in either case unless the Aircraft, the Airframe or any Engine is only temporarily operated, used or located in such area as a result of an emergency, equipment malfunction, navigational error, hijacking, weather condition or other similar unforeseen circumstance, so long as Owner diligently and in good faith proceeds to remove the Aircraft from such area. The Owner shall also have the right to operate the Aircraft without having on board the original registration certificate or airworthiness certificate in the event that either or both such certificates disappear from the Aircraft, but only to the extent permitted by Exemption No. 5318 of the FAA Regulations or other similar exemption. So long as the Aircraft, the Airframe or any Engine is subject to the Lien of this Trust Indenture, the Owner shall not permit such Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine, as the case may be, to be used, operated, maintained, serviced, repaired or overhauled (x) in violation of any Law of any Government Entity having jurisdiction that is binding on or applicable to such Aircraft, Airframe or Engine or (y) in violation of any airworthiness certificate, license or registration of any such Government Entity relating to the Aircraft, the Airframe or any Engine, except (i) immaterial or non-recurring violations with respect to which corrective measures are taken promptly by Owner or Permitted Lessee, as the case may be, upon discovery thereof, (ii) to the extent the validity or application of any such Law or requirement relating to any such certificate, license or registration is being contested in good faith by Owner or Permitted Lessee in any reasonable manner which does not materially adversely affect the Lien of this Trust Indenture and does not involve any material risk of sale, forfeiture or loss of the Aircraft, or (iii) that Owner shall not be in default under, or required to take any action set forth in this sentence if it is not possible for Owner to comply with the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States (or other jurisdiction in which the Aircraft is registered) because of a conflict with the applicable laws of the United States (or such other jurisdiction where the Aircraft is registered).

(d) Registration. The Owner, on or prior to the date of the Closing, shall cause the Aircraft to be duly registered with the FAA in its name under the Act and except as otherwise permitted by this Section 4.02(d) at all times thereafter shall cause the Aircraft to remain so registered. So long as no Special Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and subject to Section 5.4.5 of the Participation Agreement, Owner may at any time cause the Aircraft to be re-registered under the laws of a country other than the United States. Whether or not a Special Default or an Event of Default shall be continuing, subject to Section 5.4.5 of the Participation Agreement, Owner may at any time cause the Aircraft to be re-registered under the laws of the United States. Unless the Trust Indenture has been discharged, Owner shall also cause the Trust Indenture to be duly recorded and at all times maintained of record as a first-priority perfected mortgage (subject to Permitted Liens) on the Aircraft, the Airframe and each of the Engines (except to the extent (i) such perfection or priority cannot be maintained solely as a result of the failure by Mortgagee to execute and deliver any necessary documents or (ii) in the case of a registration of the Aircraft in a country other than the United States, the Trust Indenture need not be so recorded as provided in Section 5.4.5(d) of the Participation Agreement). Unless the Lien of this Trust Indenture has been discharged, Owner shall cause the International Interest granted under this Trust Indenture in favor of the Mortgagee with respect to the Airframe and each Engine to be registered with the International Registry, subject to the Mortgagee providing its consent to such registration.

[Trust Indenture and Mortgage (NXXXUA)]

 

(e) Markings. If permitted by applicable Law, on or as soon as practicable after the Closing Date, Owner will cause to be affixed to, and maintained in, the cockpit of the Airframe and on each Engine, in each case, in a clearly visible location, a placard of a reasonable size and shape bearing the legend: “Subject to a security interest in favor of Wilmington Trust Company, not in its individual capacity but solely as Mortgagee.” Such placards may be removed temporarily, if necessary, in the course of maintenance of the Airframe or Engines. If any such placard is damaged or becomes illegible, Owner shall promptly replace it with a placard complying with the requirements of this Section 4.02(e). Except as above provided, Owner will not allow the name of any person (other than Owner) to be placed on the Airframe or on any Engine as a designation that might be interpreted as a claim of ownership, provided that nothing herein shall prohibit Owner or any Permitted Lessee from placing its customary colors and insignia on the Airframe and any Engine.

Section 4.03 Inspection.

(a) At all reasonable times and upon reasonable advance notice (taking into consideration the availability of the Aircraft and Owner (or Permitted Lessee) personnel), so long as the Aircraft is subject to the Lien of this Trust Indenture, Mortgagee and its authorized representatives (the “Inspecting Parties”) may (not more than once every 12 months unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing in which case such inspection right shall not be so limited) inspect the Aircraft, Airframe and Engines (including without limitation, the Aircraft Documents) and any such Inspecting Party may make copies of such Aircraft Documents not reasonably deemed confidential by Owner or such Permitted Lessee.

(b) Any inspection of the Aircraft hereunder shall be subject to Owner’s safety and security rules applicable at the location of the Aircraft and shall be limited to a visual, walk-around inspection and shall not include the opening of any panels, bays or other components of the Aircraft without the express consent of the Owner (such consent not to be given by the Mortgagee pursuant to the power of attorney granted herein), and no such inspection shall interfere with Owner’s or any Permitted Lessee’s maintenance and operation of the Aircraft, Airframe and Engines.

(c) With respect to such rights of inspection, Mortgagee shall not have any duty or liability to make, or any duty or liability by reason of not making, any such visit, inspection or survey.

(d) Each Inspecting Party shall bear its own expenses in connection with any such inspection (including the cost of any copies made in accordance with Section 4.03(a)).

Each Inspecting Party shall keep any information or copies obtained thereby confidential and shall not disclose the same to any Person, except (A) to the Pass Through Trustees and to prospective and permitted transferees of any Pass Through Trustee’s or the Mortgagee’s interest (and such prospective and permitted transferee’s counsel, independent insurance advisors or other agents) who agree to hold such information confidential, (B) to any Pass Through Trustee’s or the Mortgagee’s counsel, independent

 

31


[Trust Indenture and Mortgage (NXXXUA)]

 

insurance advisors or other agents who agree to hold such information confidential, (C) as may be required by any statute, court or administrative order or decree or governmental ruling or regulation, (D) any other Inspecting Party, so long as such Inspecting Party agrees to hold such information confidential, and (E) as may be necessary for purposes of protecting the interest of any such Person or for enforcement of this Trust Indenture by the Mortgagee; provided, however, that any and all disclosures permitted by clauses (C) and (D) above shall be made only to the extent necessary to meet the specific requirements or needs of Persons for whom such disclosures are hereby permitted.

Section 4.04 Maintenance; Replacement and Pooling of Parts, Alterations, Modifications and Additions; Substitution of Engines.

(a) Maintenance. Owner shall, at its own cost and expense, (1) maintain, service, repair, and overhaul (or cause to be maintained, serviced, repaired, and overhauled) the Aircraft (and any engine which is not an Engine but which is installed on the Aircraft) (A) so as to keep the Aircraft in as good an operating condition as when delivered to the Owner (ordinary wear and tear excepted and without taking into consideration hours and cycles) and so as to keep the Aircraft in such condition as may be necessary to enable the airworthiness certification for the Aircraft to be maintained in good standing at all times under the Act (or under the applicable requirements of another Aviation Authority in the jurisdiction in which the Aircraft is registered) except (i) when the Aircraft is being temporarily stored, (ii) when the Aircraft is being serviced, repaired, maintained, overhauled, tested or modified as permitted or required by the terms of this Trust Indenture, (iii) when all Similar Aircraft have been grounded by the FAA or under the applicable laws of any other jurisdiction in which the Aircraft is registered, or such authority has revoked or suspended the airworthiness certificates for such aircraft, or (iv) (x) for immaterial or non-recurring violations with respect to which corrective measures are taken promptly by Owner or Permitted Lessee, as the case may be, upon discovery thereof, or (y) to the extent the validity or application of any such Law or requirement relating to any such certificate, license or registration is being contested in good faith by Owner or Permitted Lessee in any reasonable manner which does not materially adversely affect the Lien of this Trust Indenture and does not involve any material risk of sale, forfeiture or loss of the Aircraft, and (B) in accordance with the Maintenance Program for the Aircraft and utilizing the same or better manner of maintenance used by the Owner (or any Permitted Lessee) with respect to similar aircraft operated by it, and (2) maintain or cause to be maintained in English all records, logs and other materials required to be maintained in respect of the Aircraft by the FAA or the applicable Aviation Authority. In any case, the Aircraft will be maintained in accordance with the maintenance standards required by or substantially similar to those required by the FAA or the central aviation authority of Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland or the United Kingdom. Determination of the appropriate course of action in maintenance, including the means of compliance with airworthiness directives, and all other matters pertaining to the Aircraft will be within the sole discretion of the Owner.

32


[Trust Indenture and Mortgage (NXXXUA)]

 

provided in Sections 4.04(c) and 4.04(d). In addition, the Owner may, at its own cost and expense, and may permit a Permitted Lessee, at its own cost and expense, (or any maintenance provider for the Aircraft) to, remove (or cause to be removed) in the ordinary course of maintenance, service, repair, overhaul or testing, any Parts, whether or not worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or permanently rendered unfit for use; provided that the Owner, except as otherwise provided herein, will, at its own cost and expense, replace, or cause to be replaced, such Parts as promptly as practicable. All replacement parts (other than replacement parts temporarily installed as provided in Section 4.04(c) hereof) shall be free and clear of all Liens (except Permitted Liens), and shall be in as good an operating condition as, and shall have a value and utility substantially equal to or better than, the Parts replaced, assuming such replaced Parts were in the condition and repair required to be maintained by the terms hereof (but without taking into consideration hours and cycles remaining until overhaul). Except as provided in Section 4.04(d), all Parts at any time removed from the Airframe or any Engine shall remain subject to the Lien of this Trust Indenture, no matter where located, until such time as such Parts shall be replaced by parts which meet the requirements for replacement parts specified above. Upon any replacement part becoming incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or any Engine, without further act (subject only to Permitted Liens and any arrangement permitted by Section 4.04(c) hereof), (i) such replacement part shall become subject to the Lien of this Trust Indenture and be deemed a Part for all purposes hereof to the same extent as the Parts originally incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or such Engine and (ii) the replaced Part shall no longer be subject to the Lien of this Trust Indenture and shall no longer be deemed a Part hereunder. Upon request of Owner, the Mortgagee shall, at Owner’s expense, execute and deliver to Owner such documents as may be reasonably required to evidence the release of any replaced Part from the Lien of this Trust Indenture.

(c) Pooling of Parts; Temporary Replacement Parts. Any Part removed from the Airframe or any Engine may be subjected by the Owner (or any Permitted Lessee) to a normal pooling arrangement customary in the airline industry and entered into in the ordinary course of business of Owner or Permitted Lessee; provided that the part replacing such removed Part shall be incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe or Engine in accordance with Section 4.04(b) hereof as promptly as practicable after the removal of such removed Part. In addition, the Owner (or any Permitted Lessee) may use temporary parts or pooled parts on the Aircraft that are owned by a third party subject to a pooling arrangement as temporary replacements for Parts, provided that the Owner (or any Permitted Lessee) as promptly thereafter as practicable, either (1) causes such pooled or temporary replacement part to become subject to the Lien of this Trust Indenture free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens or (2) replaces such replacement part with a further replacement part owned by the Owner (or any Permitted Lessee) which meets the requirements of Section 4.04(b) hereof and which shall become subject to the Lien of this Trust Indenture, free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens.

(d) Alterations, Modifications and Additions. The Owner shall, or shall cause a Permitted Lessee to, at its own cost and expense, make (or cause to be made) such alterations, modifications and additions to the Airframe and Engines as may be required from time to time to meet the applicable standards of the FAA or any other Aviation Authority having jurisdiction over the operation of the Aircraft, to the extent made mandatory in respect of the Aircraft, except for (i) immaterial or non-recurring violations with

 

33


[Trust Indenture and Mortgage (NXXXUA)]

 

respect to which corrective measures are taken promptly by Owner or a Permitted Lessee, as the case may be, upon discovery thereof, or (ii) to the extent the validity or application of any such Law or requirement is being contested in good faith by Owner or a Permitted Lessee in any reasonable manner which does not involve any material risk of sale, loss or forfeiture of the Aircraft and does not materially adversely affect the Lien of this Trust Indenture. In addition, Owner may, or may permit a Permitted Lessee at its own cost and expense to, from time to time alter the passenger (seating) configuration of the Aircraft and may make or cause to be made such alterations and modifications in and additions to the Airframe or any Engine as the Owner (or any Permitted Lessee) may deem desirable in the proper conduct of its business, including removal of Parts which the Owner (or any Permitted Lessee) deems to be obsolete or no longer suitable or appropriate for use on the Airframe or such Engine (such parts, “Obsolete Parts”); provided that no such alteration, modification, removal or addition impairs the condition or airworthiness of the Airframe or such Engine, or materially diminishes the value, utility and, in regard to the Airframe, remaining useful life (without regard to hours and cycles) of the Airframe or such Engine below the value, utility or remaining useful life (without regard to hours and cycles) thereof immediately prior to such alteration, modification, removal or addition, assuming that the Airframe or such Engine is in the condition required hereunder. In addition, the value (but not the utility, condition or airworthiness) of the Airframe or any Engine may be reduced by the value, if any, of Obsolete Parts which shall have been removed. All parts incorporated or installed in or attached or added to the Airframe or an Engine as the result of such alteration, modification or addition (except those parts which are excluded from the definition of Parts or which the Owner has leased from others and Parts which may be removed by the Owner pursuant to the next sentence) (the “Additional Part” or “Additional Parts”) shall, without further act, become subject to the Lien of this Trust Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner may remove (and not replace) any Additional Part, provided that such Additional Part (i) is in addition to, and not in replacement of or substitution for, any Part originally incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or any Engine at the time of delivery thereof hereunder or any Part in replacement of or substitution for any such Part, (ii) is not required to be incorporated or installed in or attached or added to the Airframe or any Engine pursuant to the terms of Section 4.04(a) or the first sentence of this Section 4.04(d), and (iii) can be removed from the Airframe or such Engine without impairing the airworthiness of the Airframe or such Engine or materially diminishing the value, utility and remaining useful life of the Airframe or such Engine which the Airframe or such Engine would have had at such time had such alteration, modification or addition not occurred. Upon the removal thereof as provided above, such Additional Parts shall no longer be subject to the Lien of this Trust Indenture or be deemed part of the Airframe or Engine from which it was removed. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, Owner may, at any time, install or permit to be installed in the Aircraft Passenger Convenience Equipment owned by Owner or any Permitted Lessee or by third parties and leased or otherwise furnished to Owner in the ordinary course of business, and Owner may remove (and not replace) or permit to be removed (and not replaced) the same, and Mortgagee shall not acquire a Lien thereon by virtue of such installation or otherwise, and the rights of the owners therein shall not constitute a default under this Trust Indenture.

(e) Substitution of Engines. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Loss with respect to an Engine under circumstances in which an Event of Loss with respect to the Airframe has not occurred, Owner shall promptly (and in any event within 15 days after such occurrence) give the Mortgagee written notice of such Event of Loss. The Owner shall have the right at its option at any time, on

 

34


[Trust Indenture and Mortgage (NXXXUA)]

 

at least five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to the Mortgagee, to substitute, and if an Event of Loss shall have occurred with respect to an Engine under circumstances in which an Event of Loss with respect to the Airframe has not occurred, shall within 120 days of the occurrence of such Event of Loss substitute, a Replacement Engine for any Engine. In such event, immediately upon the effectiveness of such substitution and without further act, (i) the replaced Engine shall thereupon be free and clear of all rights of the Mortgagee and the Lien of this Trust Indenture and shall no longer be deemed an Engine hereunder and (ii) such Replacement Engine shall become subject to this Trust Indenture free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens) and be deemed an “Engine” for all purposes hereof to the same extent as the replaced Engine. Such Replacement Engine shall be an engine manufactured by Engine Manufacturer that is the same model as the Engine to be replaced thereby, or an improved model, and that is suitable for installation and use on the Airframe, and that has a value and utility (without regard to hours and cycles remaining until overhaul) at least equal to, and be in as good operating condition and repair as, the Engine to be replaced thereby (assuming that such Engine had been maintained in accordance with this Trust Indenture). The Owner’s substitution hereunder shall be subject to the fulfillment (which may be simultaneous with such replacement) of the following conditions precedent at the Owner’s sole cost and expense, and the Mortgagee agrees to cooperate with the Owner to the extent necessary to enable it to timely satisfy such conditions:

(i) an executed counterpart of each of the following documents shall be delivered to the Mortgagee:

(A) a Trust Indenture Supplement covering the Replacement Engine, which shall have been duly filed for recordation pursuant to the Act or such other applicable law of the jurisdiction other than the United States in which the Aircraft of which such Replacement Engine is a part is registered in accordance with Section 4.02(d), as the case may be;

(B) a full warranty (as to title) bill of sale , covering the Replacement Engine, executed by the former owner thereof in favor of the Owner (or, at the Owner’s option, other evidence of the Owner’s ownership of such Replacement Engine, reasonably satisfactory to the Mortgagee); and

(C) UCC financing statements and registrations with the International Registry covering the security interests created by this Trust Indenture (or any similar statements or other documents required to be filed or delivered pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Aircraft may be registered) as are deemed necessary or desirable by counsel for the Mortgagee to protect the security interests of the Mortgagee in the Replacement Engine;

(ii) the Owner shall cause to be delivered to the Mortgagee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the Lien of this Trust Indenture continues to be in full force and effect with respect to the Replacement Engine and such evidence of compliance with the insurance provisions of Section 4.06 with respect to such Replacement Engine as Mortgagee shall reasonably request;

 

35


[Trust Indenture and Mortgage (NXXXUA)]

 

(iii) the Owner shall have furnished to Mortgagee an opinion of Owner’s aviation law counsel reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee and addressed to Mortgagee as to the due filing for recordation of the Trust Indenture Supplement with respect to such Replacement Engine under the Act or such other applicable law of the jurisdiction other than the United States in which the Aircraft is registered in accordance with Section 4.02(d), as the case may be, and the registration with the International Registry of (i) the International Interest granted under such Trust Indenture Supplement with respect to such Replacement Engine and (ii) if the bill of sale referred to in clause (i)(B) above constitutes “contract of sale” under the Cape Town Convention, such contract of sale with respect to such Replacement Engine; and

(iv) the Owner shall have furnished to Mortgagee a certificate of a qualified aircraft engineer (who may be an employee of Owner) certifying that such Replacement Engine has a value and utility and remaining useful life (without regard to hours and cycles remaining until overhaul) at least equal to the Engine so replaced (assuming that such Engine had been maintained in accordance with this Trust Indenture).

Upon satisfaction of all conditions to such substitution, (x) the Mortgagee shall execute and deliver to the Owner such documents and instruments, prepared at the Owner’s expense, as the Owner shall reasonably request to evidence the release of such replaced Engine from the Lien of this Trust Indenture, (y) the Mortgagee shall assign to the Owner all claims it may have against any other Person relating to any Event of Loss giving rise to such substitution and (z) the Owner shall receive all insurance proceeds (other than those reserved to others under Section 4.06(b)) and other proceeds in respect of any Event of Loss giving rise to such replacement in accordance with Section 4.05(d) hereof.

(f) [Substitution of Aircraft. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Owner shall have the right at its option at any time, on at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior notice to the Mortgagee, to substitute a Substitute Airframe for the Airframe, subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

(i) the Substitute Airframe shall be free and clear of all Liens, except for Permitted Liens;

(a) Owner’s Obligation to Insure. Owner shall comply with, or cause to be complied with, each of the provisions of Annex B, which provisions are hereby incorporated by this reference as if set forth in full herein.

(b) Insurance for Own Account. Nothing in Section 4.06 shall limit or prohibit (a) Owner from maintaining the policies of insurance required under Annex B with higher limits than those specified in Annex B, or (b) Mortgagee from obtaining insurance for its own account (and any proceeds payable under such separate insurance shall be payable as provided in the policy relating thereto); provided, however, that no insurance may be obtained or maintained that would limit or otherwise adversely affect the coverage of any insurance required to be obtained or maintained by Owner pursuant to this Section 4.06 and Annex B.

Mortgagee agrees to accept, in lieu of insurance against any risk with respect to the Aircraft described in Annex B, indemnification from, or insurance provided by, the U.S. Government or, upon the written consent of Mortgagee, other Government Entity, against such risk in an amount that, when added to the amount of insurance (including permitted self-insurance), if any, against such risk that Owner (or any Permitted Lessee) may continue to maintain, in accordance with this Section 4.06, shall be at least equal to the amount of insurance against such risk otherwise required by this Section 4.06.

(ii) such person executes and delivers to Mortgagee a duly authorized, legal, valid, binding and enforceable agreement, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Mortgagee, containing an effective assumption by such person of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant, agreement and condition in the Operative Agreements to be performed or observed by Owner;

 

43


[Trust Indenture and Mortgage (NXXXUA)]

 

(iii) if the Aircraft is, at the time, registered with the FAA, such person makes such filings and recordings with the FAA pursuant to the Act as shall be necessary to evidence such consolidation or merger or, if the Aircraft is, at the time, not registered with the FAA, such person makes such filings and recordings with the Aviation Authority as shall be necessary to evidence such consolidation or merger;

(iv) immediately after giving effect to such consolidation or merger no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

Section 4.08 Effect of Merger. Upon any such consolidation or merger of Owner with or into, or the conveyance, transfer or lease by Owner of all or substantially all of its assets to, any Person in accordance with this Section 4.07, such Person will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, Owner under the Operative Agreements with the same effect as if such person had been named as “Owner” therein. No such consolidation or merger, or conveyance, transfer or lease, shall have the effect of releasing Owner or such Person from any of the obligations, liabilities, covenants or undertakings of Owner under the Trust Indenture.

provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.01, any failure of Owner to perform or observe any covenant, condition, agreement or any error in a representation or warranty shall not constitute an Event of Default if such failure or error is caused solely by reason of any event that constitutes an Event of Loss so long as Owner is continuing to comply with all of the terms of Section 4.04(e) and Section 4.05 hereof.

Section 5.02 Remedies.

(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and so long as the same shall continue unremedied, then and in every such case the Mortgagee may exercise any or all of the rights and powers and pursue any and all of the remedies pursuant to this Article V and shall have and may exercise all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code or by any other applicable law (including the Cape Town Convention, to the extent applicable) and may take possession of all or any part of the properties covered or intended to be covered by the Lien created hereby or pursuant hereto and may exclude the Owner and all persons claiming under it wholly or partly therefrom; provided, that the Mortgagee shall give the Owner twenty days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell the Aircraft.

46


[Trust Indenture and Mortgage (NXXXUA)]

 

This Section 5.02(b), however, is subject to the condition that, if at any time after the Original Amount of the Equipment Notes shall have become so due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the money so due, or any thereof, shall be entered, all overdue payments of interest upon the Equipment Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the Equipment Notes (except for the Original Amount of the Equipment Notes which by such declaration shall have become payable) shall have been duly paid, and every other Default and Event of Default with respect to any covenant or provision of this Trust Indenture shall have been cured, then and in every such case a Majority in Interest of Note Holders may (but shall not be obligated to), by written instrument filed with the Mortgagee, rescind and annul the Mortgagee’s declaration (or such automatic acceleration) and its consequences; but no such rescission or annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

(c) The Note Holders shall be entitled, at any sale pursuant to this Section 5.02, to credit against any purchase price bid at such sale by such holder all or any part of the unpaid obligations owing to such Note Holder and secured by the Lien of this Trust Indenture (only to the extent that such purchase price would have been paid to such Note Holder pursuant to Article III hereof if such purchase price were paid in cash and the foregoing provisions of this subsection (c) were not given effect).

(d) In the event of any sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, pursuant to any judgment or decree of any court or otherwise in connection with the enforcement of any of the terms of this Trust Indenture, the unpaid Original Amount of all Equipment Notes then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon (but without Make-Whole Amount) and other amounts due thereunder, shall immediately become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or notice, all of which are hereby waived.

(e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein, (i) so long as the Pass Through Trustee under any Pass Through Trust Agreement (or its designee) is a Note Holder, the Mortgagee will not be authorized or empowered to acquire title to any Collateral or take any action with respect to any Collateral so acquired by it if such acquisition or action would cause any Trust to fail to qualify as a “grantor trust” for federal income tax purposes and (ii) the Mortgagee will not take any action that would violate Sections 4.1(a)(ii) or 4.1(a)(iii) of the Intercreditor Agreement.

Section 5.03 Return of Aircraft, Etc.

(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Equipment Notes have been accelerated, at the request of the Mortgagee, the Owner shall promptly execute and deliver to the Mortgagee such instruments of title and other documents as the Mortgagee may deem necessary or advisable to enable the Mortgagee or an agent or representative designated by the Mortgagee, at such time or times and place or places as the Mortgagee may specify, to obtain possession of all or any part of the Collateral to which the Mortgagee shall at the time be entitled hereunder. If the Owner shall for any reason fail to execute and

 

47


[Trust Indenture and Mortgage (NXXXUA)]

 

deliver such instruments and documents after such request by the Mortgagee, the Mortgagee may (i) obtain a judgment conferring on the Mortgagee the right to immediate possession and requiring the Owner to execute and deliver such instruments and documents to the Mortgagee, to the entry of which judgment the Owner hereby specifically consents to the fullest extent permitted by Law, and (ii) pursue all or part of such Collateral wherever it may be found and may enter any of the premises of Owner wherever such Collateral may be or be supposed to be and search for such Collateral and take possession of and remove such Collateral. All expenses of obtaining such judgment or of pursuing, searching for and taking such property shall, until paid, be secured by the Lien of this Trust Indenture.

(b) Upon every such taking of possession, the Mortgagee may, from time to time, at the expense of the Collateral, make all such expenditures for maintenance, use, operation, storage, insurance, leasing, control, management, disposition, modifications or alterations to and of the Collateral, as it may deem proper. In each such case, the Mortgagee shall have the right to maintain, use, operate, store, insure, lease, control, manage, dispose of, modify or alter the Collateral and to exercise all rights and powers of the Owner relating to the Collateral, as the Mortgagee shall deem best, including the right to enter into any and all such agreements with respect to the maintenance, use, operation, storage, insurance, leasing, control, management, disposition, modification or alteration of the Collateral or any part thereof as the Mortgagee may determine, and the Mortgagee shall be entitled to collect and receive directly all rents, revenues and other proceeds of the Collateral and every part thereof, without prejudice, however, to the right of the Mortgagee under any provision of this Trust Indenture to collect and receive all cash held by, or required to be deposited with, the Mortgagee hereunder. Such rents, revenues and other proceeds shall be applied to pay the expenses of the maintenance, use, operation, storage, insurance, leasing, control, management, disposition, improvement, modification or alteration of the Collateral and of conducting the business thereof, and to make all payments which the Mortgagee may be required or may elect to make, if any, for taxes, assessments, insurance or other proper charges upon the Collateral or any part thereof (including the employment of engineers and accountants to examine, inspect and make reports upon the properties and books and records of the Owner), and all other payments which the Mortgagee may be required or authorized to make under any provision of this Trust Indenture, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of the Mortgagee, and of all persons properly engaged and employed by the Mortgagee with respect hereto.

Section 5.04 Remedies Cumulative. Each and every right, power and remedy given to the Mortgagee specifically or otherwise in this Trust Indenture shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at Law, in equity or by statute, and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Mortgagee, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy. No delay or omission by the Mortgagee in the exercise of any right, remedy or power or in the pursuance of any remedy shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any default on the part of the Owner or to be an acquiescence therein.

Subject to the provisions of Section 6.03, if the Mortgagee shall not have received instructions as above provided within 20 days after mailing notice of such Event of Default to the Note Holders, the Mortgagee may, subject to instructions thereafter received pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 6.01, take such action, or refrain from taking such action, but shall be under no duty to take or refrain from taking any action, with respect to such Event of Default as it shall determine advisable in the best interests of the Note Holders; provided, however, that the Mortgagee may not sell the Aircraft or any Engine without the consent of a Majority in Interest of Note Holders. For all purposes of this Trust Indenture, in the absence of Actual Knowledge on the part of the Mortgagee, the Mortgagee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Default or an Event of Default (except, the failure of Owner to pay any installment of principal or interest within one Business Day after the same shall become due, which failure shall constitute knowledge of a Default) unless notified in writing by the Owner or one or more Note Holders.

Section 6.02 Action Upon Instructions; Certain Rights and Limitations. Subject to the terms of Sections 5.02(a), 5.06, 6.01 and 6.03 hereof, upon the written instructions at any time and from time to time of a Majority in Interest of Note Holders, the Mortgagee shall, subject to the terms of this Section 6.02, take such of the following actions as may be specified in such instructions: (i) give such notice or direction or exercise such right, remedy or power hereunder as shall be specified in such instructions and (ii) give such notice or direction or exercise such right, remedy or power hereunder with respect to any part of the Collateral as shall be specified in such instructions; it being understood that without the written instructions of a Majority in Interest of Note Holders, the Mortgagee shall not, except as provided in Section 6.01, approve any such matter as satisfactory to the Mortgagee.

The Mortgagee shall not be required to take any action under Section 6.01 (other than the first sentence thereof) or 6.02 or Article V hereof, nor shall any other provision of this Trust Indenture or any other Operative Agreement be deemed to impose a duty on the Mortgagee to take any action, if the Mortgagee shall have been advised by counsel that such action is contrary to the terms hereof or is otherwise contrary to Law.

All Cash Equivalents held by the Mortgagee pursuant to this Section 6.06 shall either be (a) registered in the name of, payable to the order of, or specially endorsed to, the Mortgagee, or (b) held in an Eligible Account.

shall be held and applied by the Mortgagee in the same manner as the principal amount of such investment is to be applied and any losses, net of earnings and such reasonable fees and expenses, shall be charged against the principal amount invested. The Mortgagee shall not be liable for any loss resulting from any investment required to be made by it under this Trust Indenture other than by reason of its willful misconduct or gross negligence or negligence in the handling of funds, and any such investment may be sold (without regard to its maturity) by the Mortgagee without instructions whenever such sale is necessary to make a distribution required by this Trust Indenture.

55


[Trust Indenture and Mortgage (NXXXUA)]

 

Mortgagee as additional trustee or trustees of all or any part of the Collateral, or to act as separate trustee or trustees of all or any part of the Collateral, in each case with such rights, powers, duties and obligations consistent with this Trust Indenture as may be provided in such supplemental indenture or other instruments as the Mortgagee or a Majority in Interest of Note Holders may deem necessary or advisable, or (2) to clarify, add to or subtract from the rights, powers, duties and obligations theretofore granted any such additional or separate trustee, subject in each case to the remaining provisions of this Section 9.02. If the Owner shall not have taken any action required of it under this Section 9.02(a) that is permitted or required by its terms within 15 days after the receipt of a written request from the Mortgagee so to do, or if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Mortgagee may act under the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.02(a) without the concurrence of the Owner, and the Owner hereby irrevocably appoints (which appointment is coupled with an interest) the Mortgagee, its agent and attorney-in-fact to act for it under the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.02(a) in either of such contingencies. The Mortgagee may, in such capacity, execute, deliver and perform any such supplemental indenture, or any such instrument, as may be required for the appointment of any such additional or separate trustee or for the clarification of, addition to or subtraction from the rights, powers, duties or obligations theretofore granted to any such additional or separate trustee.

(b) No additional or separate trustee shall be entitled to exercise any of the rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred upon the Mortgagee in respect of the custody, investment and payment of monies and all monies received by any such additional or separate trustee from or constituting part of the Collateral or otherwise payable under any Operative Agreement to the Mortgagee shall be promptly paid over by it to the Mortgagee. All other rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon any additional or separate trustee shall be exercised or performed by the Mortgagee and such additional or separate trustee jointly except to the extent that applicable Law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed renders the Mortgagee incompetent or unqualified to perform such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to all or part of the Collateral in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such additional or separate trustee. No additional or separate trustee shall take any discretionary action except on the instructions of the Mortgagee or a Majority in Interest of Note Holders. No trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder, except that the Mortgagee shall be liable for the consequences of its lack of reasonable care in selecting, and the Mortgagee’s own actions in acting with, any additional or separate trustee. Each additional or separate trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 9.02 shall be subject to, and shall have the benefit of Articles V through IX and Article XI hereof insofar as they apply to the Mortgagee.

Any policies carried in accordance with Sections A and B hereof covering the Aircraft, and any policies taken out in substitution or replacement for any such policies, as applicable, (1) shall name the Additional Insureds as additional insureds, as their interests may appear, (2) shall name the Mortgagee as sole loss payee to the extent provided in clause (12) below, (3) may provide for self-insurance to the extent permitted in Section D, (4) shall provide that if the insurers cancel such insurance for any reason whatsoever, or the same is allowed to lapse for nonpayment of premium or if any material change is made in

 

85


[Trust Indenture and Mortgage (NXXXUA)]

 

the insurance which adversely affects the interest of any Additional Insured, such cancellation, lapse, or change shall not be effective as to the Additional Insureds for thirty (30) days (or ten (10) days in the case of nonpayment of premium) after sending to (but, in the case of war risk and allied perils coverage, seven (7) days after sending to) the Additional Insureds of written notice by such insurers of such cancellation or change (or, in the case of war risk and allied perils insurance underwritten by the FAA, seven days after publication in the Federal Register), provided, however, that if, in respect of the war risk and allied perils coverage, such policies shall provide for such shorter period as may be available in the international insurance market, (5) shall provide that in respect of the Additional Insureds’ respective interests in such policies the insurance shall not be invalidated by any action or inaction of the Owner (or any Permitted Lessee) and shall insure the respective interests of the Additional Insureds regardless of any breach or violation of any warranty, declaration or condition contained in such policies by the Owner (or any Permitted Lessee), (6) shall be primary without any right of contribution from any other insurance which is carried by any Additional Insured, (7) shall expressly provide that all of the provisions thereof, except the limits of liability, shall operate in the same manner as if a separate policy covered each insured, (8) shall waive any right of subrogation of the insurers against the Additional Insureds to the same extent Owner has agreed in the Operative Agreements to indemnify the Additional Insureds and shall waive any right of the insurers to set-off or counterclaim or any other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, in respect of any liability of any Additional Insured, (9) shall provide that losses (other than for total loss of the Aircraft) shall be adjusted with the Owner (or, if a Special Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred which is continuing, with the consent of the Mortgagee), (10) shall provide that the Additional Insureds are not liable for any insurance premiums, (11) shall be effective with respect to both domestic and international operations, (12) shall provide that for any loss not constituting an Event of Loss (i) except as specified in clause (iii) below, in the event of a loss involving proceeds in excess of $5,000,000, all proceeds in respect of such loss up to the amount of the Agreed Value shall, to the extent such proceeds are not paid by the insurer(s) directly to the person effecting the repair, be payable to the Mortgagee to be held by the Mortgagee (whether such payment is made to the Owner (or any Permitted Lessee) or any third party), it being understood and agreed that in the case of any payment to the Mortgagee otherwise than in respect of an Event of Loss of the Aircraft, the Mortgagee shall, upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that the damage giving rise to such payment shall have been repaired or that such payment shall then be required to pay for repairs then being made or the replacement of the Engine suffering the Event of Loss, pay the amount of such payment, to the extent not theretofore applied as provided in the Trust Indenture, and any interest or income earned thereon, to the Owner or its order, (ii) except as specified in the following clause (iii), all proceeds of $5,000,000 or less (regardless of the total amount of proceeds resulting from such loss) and any proceeds of any loss in excess of the Agreed Value shall be paid to the Owner or its order and (iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), if a Special Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the insurers have been notified thereof by Mortgagee, all proceeds of loss shall be paid to the Mortgagee and (13) if war risk coverage is maintained, shall contain a 50/50 clause in accordance with Provisional Claims Settlement Clause AVS103 (or its equivalent).

 

86


[Trust Indenture and Mortgage (NXXXUA)]

 

F. AVN 67B. Owner may procure endorsements to the relevant insurance policies required to be maintained pursuant to Section 4.06 of the Trust Indenture and this Annex B so as to incorporate the terms of AVN 67B into such policies, in which event, to the extent that any provision of any such AVN 67B endorsement conflicts or is otherwise inconsistent with the requirements of Section 4.06 of the Trust Indenture or this Annex B then such endorsement shall be deemed to satisfy such requirements to the extent covered by such endorsement. If the terms of AVN 67B are incorporated into such policies, Owner will cause its Insurance Broker to issue an undertaking letter to the Additional Insureds confirming that the Insurance Broker will promptly advise the Additional Insureds upon becoming aware of the cancellation of or any material change in such insurance policies.

G. Insurers of Recognized Responsibility. For the purposes of this Annex B, “insurers of recognized responsibility” shall include independent recognized commercial insurance companies and any captive and/or industry-managed insurance company, in each case of recognized responsibility; provided that if the primary insurers are not insurers of recognized responsibility but the relevant insurance policies are reinsured with insurers of recognized responsibility, the obligation of Owner hereunder to maintain such insurance with insurers of recognized responsibility shall be deemed satisfied if such insurance shall contain a customary “cut-through” endorsement and shall provide that any payment by the reinsurers shall be made notwithstanding any bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation of the original insurer and/or that the original insurer has made no payment under the original policies.

GUARANTEE

THIS GUARANTEE, dated as of November 24, 2009 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, this “Guarantee”), from UAL CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (together with its permitted successors and assigns, the “Guarantor”), to the parties listed in Schedule I hereto (collectively, together with their successors and permitted assigns, the “Parties”, and, individually, a “Party”).

WHEREAS, United Air Lines, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Owner”), a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Guarantor, has entered into that certain Note Purchase Agreement dated as of November 24, 2009 (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) among Owner, Wilmington Trust Company, as pass through trustee under each of the Pass Through Trust Agreements (the “Pass Through Trustee”), Wilmington Trust Company, as Escrow Agent under each of the Escrow Agreements, Wilmington Trust Company, as Paying Agent under each of the Escrow Agreements and Wilmington Trust Company, as Subordination Agent (the “Subordination Agent”);

WHEREAS, capitalized used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement;

WHEREAS, in order to finance the aircraft identified on Schedule II hereto (the “Aircraft”), Owner will issue the Equipment Notes under the Indentures; and

WHEREAS, it is a condition to the purchase of the Equipment Notes by the Pass Through Trustee that the Guarantor execute and deliver this Guarantee.

NOW, THEREFORE, in order to induce the Pass Through Trustee to purchase the Equipment Notes and for other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 1. Guarantee.

(a) The Guarantor does hereby acknowledge that it is fully aware of the terms and conditions of the Indentures, the Participation Agreements, the Equipment Notes and the transactions and the other documents contemplated thereby, and does hereby irrevocably and fully and unconditionally guarantee, as primary obligor and not as surety merely, to the Parties, as their respective interests may appear, the payment by Owner of all payment obligations when due under the Indentures, the Participation Agreements and the Equipment Notes (such obligations of Owner guaranteed hereby being hereafter referred to, individually, as a “Guaranteed Obligation” and, collectively, as the “Guaranteed Obligations”) in accordance with the terms of the Financing Agreements. The Guarantor does hereby agree that in the event that Owner fails to pay any Guaranteed Obligation when due for any reason (including, without limitation, the liquidation, dissolution, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement, composition or readjustment of, or other similar proceedings affecting the status, existence, assets or obligations of Owner, or the disaffirmance with respect to Owner of any Indenture or any other Financing Agreement to which Owner is a party in any such proceeding) after the date on which such Guaranteed Obligation became due and payable and the applicable grace period has expired, the Guarantor shall pay or cause to be paid forthwith, upon the receipt of notice from the Loan Trustee (such


[Guarantee]

 

notice to be sent to Owner (to the extent the Loan Trustee is not stayed or prevented from doing so by operation of law) and the Guarantor) stating that such Guaranteed Obligation was not paid when due after the applicable grace period has expired and stating the amount of such Guaranteed Obligation.

(b) The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be, to the fullest extent permitted by law, affected by: the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability (or lack thereof) of any of Owner’s obligations under any Indenture or any other Financing Agreement to which Owner is a party, any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Indenture or such other Financing Agreement (except that any such amendment or other modification shall be given effect in determining the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder), or by any substitution, release or exchange of collateral for or other guaranty of any of the Guaranteed Obligations (except to the extent that such substitution, release or exchange is not undertaken in accordance with the terms of the Financing Agreements) without the consent of the Guarantor, or by any priority or preference to which any other obligations of Owner may be entitled over Owner’s obligations under any Indenture and the other Financing Agreements to which Owner is a party, or by any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable defense to or discharge of the obligations of a surety or guarantor including, without limitation, any defense arising out of any laws of the United States of America of any State thereof which would excuse, discharge, exempt, modify or delay the due or punctual payment and performance of the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not, to the fullest extent permitted by law, affect the liability of the Guarantor hereunder: (a) the extension of the time for or waiver of, at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Guarantor, Owner’s performance of or compliance with any of its obligations under the Financing Agreements (except that such extension or waiver shall be given effect in determining the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder), (b) any assignment, transfer, lease or other arrangement by which Owner transfers possession or loses control of the use of any Aircraft, (c) any defect in the title, condition, design, operation or fitness for use of, or damage to or loss or destruction of, any Aircraft, whether or not due to the fault of Owner, (d) any merger or consolidation of Owner or the Guarantor into or with any other Person, or any sale, transfer, lease or disposal of any of its assets, (e) any issuance of Additional Equipment Notes or (f) any change in the ownership of any shares of capital stock of Owner.

(c) This Guarantee is an absolute, present and continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection and is in no way conditional or contingent upon any attempt to collect from Owner any unpaid amounts due. The Guarantor specifically agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that it shall not be necessary or required, and that the Guarantor shall not be entitled to require, that any Party (i) file suit or proceed to obtain or assert a claim for personal judgment against Owner for the Guaranteed Obligations, or (ii) make any effort at collection of the Guaranteed Obligations from Owner, or (iii) foreclose against or seek to realize upon any security now or hereafter existing for the Guaranteed Obligations, including the Collateral (as defined in the Indentures), or (iv) file suit or proceed to obtain or assert a claim for personal judgment against any other Person liable for the Guaranteed Obligations, or make any effort at collection of the Guaranteed Obligations from any such other Person, or exercise or assert any other right or remedy to which any Party is or may be entitled in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations or any

[Guarantee]

 

security or other guaranty therefor, or (v) assert or file any claim against the assets of Owner or any other guarantor or other Person liable for the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, before or as a condition of enforcing the liability of the Guarantor under this Guarantee or requiring payment of said Guaranteed Obligations by the Guarantor hereunder, or at any time thereafter.

Section 2. No Implied Third Party Beneficiaries. This Guarantee shall not be deemed to create any right in any Person except a Party and shall not be construed in any respect to be a contract in whole or in part for the benefit of any other Person.

Section 3. Waiver; No Set-off; Reinstatement; Subrogation. The Guarantor waives notice of the acceptance of this Guarantee and of the performance or nonperformance by Owner, demand for payment from Owner or any other Person, notice of nonpayment or failure to perform on the part of Owner, diligence, presentment, protest, dishonor and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all other demands or notices whatsoever, other than the request for payment hereunder and notice provided for in Section 1 hereof. The obligations of the Guarantor shall be absolute and unconditional and shall remain in full force and effect until satisfaction of all Guaranteed Obligations and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by the existence of any claims, set-off, defense or other rights that the Guarantor may have at any time and from time to time against any Party, whether in connection herewith or any unrelated transactions. This Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, dissolution, liquidation or similar proceeding with respect to Owner or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. The Guarantor, by virtue of any payment hereunder to a Party, shall be subrogated to such Party’s claim against Owner or any other Person relating thereto; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not be entitled to receive payment from Owner in respect of any claim against Owner arising from a payment by the Guarantor in the event of any insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceedings relating to Owner, or in the event of any proceedings for voluntary liquidation, dissolution or other winding-up of Owner, whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, in which case the Guaranteed Obligations shall be paid and performed in full before any payment in respect of a claim by the Guarantor shall be made by or on behalf of Owner.

Section 4. Amendments, Etc. No amendment of or supplement to this Guarantee, or waiver or modification of, or consent under, the terms hereof, shall be effective unless evidenced by an instrument in writing signed by the Guarantor and each Party against whom such amendment, supplement, waiver, modification or consent is to be enforced.

Section 5. Payments. All payments by the Guarantor hereunder in respect of any Obligation shall be made in Dollars and otherwise as provided in the relevant Indenture, the relevant Participation Agreement or the relevant Equipment Note in which such Guaranteed Obligation is contained.

[Guarantee]

 

Section 6. Integration; Counterparts; Successors and Assigns; Headings. This Guarantee (a) constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Guarantor and the Parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof, (b) may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument, and (c) shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Guarantor and shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Parties to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws. The headings in this Guarantee are for purposes of reference only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meanings hereof.

[Deposit Agreement (Class A)]

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the obligations contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Section 1.1 Acceptance of Depositary. The Depositary hereby agrees to act as depositary bank as provided herein and in connection therewith to accept all amounts to be delivered to or held by the Depositary pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall not have any right to withdraw, assign or otherwise transfer moneys held in the Accounts except as permitted by this Agreement.

Section 1.2 Establishment of Accounts. The Escrow Agent hereby instructs the Depositary, and the Depositary agrees, to establish the separate deposit accounts listed on Schedule I hereto and to establish such additional separate deposit accounts as may be required in connection with the deposits contemplated by Section 2.4 hereof (each, an “Account” and collectively, the “Accounts”), each in the name of the Escrow Agent and all on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. It is the express intention of the parties hereto that all amounts on deposit hereunder be deemed to be general deposits, not special deposits, and that such deposits create a customer and bank relationship between the Escrow Agent and Depository.

Section 2.1 Deposits. The Escrow Agent shall direct the Underwriters to deposit with the Depositary on the date of this Agreement (the “Deposit Date”) in Federal (same day) funds by wire transfer to the account of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., ABA: 021000021, Account Number: 9009000150, Account Name: PTFS, Account Number: E01053 for further credit to Wilmington Trust Company, ref: United EETC 2009-2A-O, and the Depositary shall accept from the Underwriters, on behalf of the Escrow Agent, the sum of US$697,731,000. Upon acceptance of such sum, the Depositary shall (i) establish each of the deposits specified in Schedule I hereto maturing on February 22, 2010 (including any deposit made pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof, individually, a “Deposit” and, collectively, the “Deposits”) and (ii) credit each Deposit to the related Account as set forth therein. No amount shall be deposited in any Account other than the related Deposit.

Section 2.2 Interest. Each Deposit shall bear interest from and including the date of deposit to but excluding the date of withdrawal at the rate of 9.75% per annum (computed on the basis of a year of twelve 30 day months) payable to the Paying Agent on behalf of the Escrow Agent in arrears on July 15, 2010 and on the date of the Final Withdrawal (as defined below), if any, or the date of the Replacement Withdrawal (as defined below), as applicable, all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Interest accrued on any Deposit that is withdrawn pursuant to a Notice of Financing Withdrawal (as defined below) shall be paid on July 15, 2010, notwithstanding any intervening Final Withdrawal (as defined below).

[Deposit Agreement (Class A)]

 

Section 2.3 Withdrawals. (a) On and after the date seven days after the establishment of any Deposit, the Escrow Agent may, by providing at least two Business Days’ prior notice of withdrawal to the Depositary in the form of Exhibit A hereto (a “Notice of Financing Withdrawal”), withdraw not less than the entire balance of such Deposit, except that at any time prior to the actual withdrawal of such Deposit, the Escrow Agent may, by notice to the Depositary, which notice has been actually received by the Depositary prior to such actual withdrawal, cancel such withdrawal (including on the scheduled date therefor), and thereafter such Deposit shall continue to be maintained by the Depositary in accordance with the original terms thereof. Following such withdrawal the balance in the related Account shall be zero and the Depositary shall close such Account. As used in this Agreement, “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law to close in New York, New York, Chicago, Illinois or Wilmington, Delaware. The Depositary may waive the foregoing requirement that any Deposit can only be withdrawn on or after seven days after the establishment thereof, and may instead reserve the right, upon at least 14 days’ prior written notice to United, the Escrow Agent and the Pass Through Trustee, to require seven days’ notice for any withdrawal.

(b) (i) The Escrow Agent may, by providing at least 15 days’ prior notice of withdrawal to the Depositary in the form of Exhibit B hereto (a “Notice of Final Withdrawal”), withdraw the entire amount of all of the remaining Deposits together with the payment by the Depositary of all accrued and unpaid interest on such Deposits to but excluding the specified date of withdrawal (a “Final Withdrawal”), on such date as shall be specified in such Notice of Final Withdrawal. If a Notice of Final Withdrawal has not been given to the Depositary on or before February 7, 2010 and there are unwithdrawn Deposits on such date, the Depositary shall pay the amount of the Final Withdrawal to the Paying Agent on February 22, 2010.

(ii) The Escrow Agent may, by providing at least five Business Days prior notice of withdrawal to the Depositary in the form of Exhibit C hereto (a “Notice of Replacement Withdrawal”), withdraw the entire amount of all Deposits then held by the Depositary together with all accrued and unpaid interest on such Deposits (including Deposits previously withdrawn pursuant to a Notice of Financing Withdrawal) to but excluding the specified date of withdrawal (a “Replacement Withdrawal”), on such date as shall be specified in such Notice of Replacement Withdrawal.

(c) If the Depositary receives a duly completed Notice of Financing Withdrawal or Notice of Final Withdrawal or Notice of Replacement Withdrawal (each, a “Withdrawal Notice”) complying with the provisions of this Agreement, it shall make the payments specified therein in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

If such complying Withdrawal Notice is received by the Depositary no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day, the Depositary shall make the payments requested in such Withdrawal Notice no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the next succeeding Business Day or such later time as requested by the Escrow Agent while funds may be transferred in the Fed Wire electronic transfer system as specified in such Withdrawal Notice. If such complying Withdrawal Notice is received by the Depositary after 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day, the Depositary shall make the payments requested in such Withdrawal Notice no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day next following such Business Day or such later time as requested by the Escrow Agent while funds may be transferred in the Fed Wire electronic transfer system as specified in such Withdrawal Notice.

Section 2.4 Other Accounts. On the date of withdrawal of any Deposit pursuant to a Notice of Financing Withdrawal, the Escrow Agent, or the Pass Through Trustee on behalf of the Escrow Agent, shall be entitled to re-deposit with the Depositary any portion thereof not used to acquire Equipment Notes and the Depositary shall accept the same for deposit hereunder. Any sums so received for deposit shall be established as a new Deposit and credited to a new Account, all as more fully provided in Section 2.1 hereof, and thereafter the provisions of this Agreement shall apply thereto as fully and with the same force and effect as if such Deposit had been established on the Deposit Date except that (i) such Deposit may not be withdrawn prior to the date seven days after the establishment thereof and (ii) interest on the amount so re-deposited shall be calculated as if such amount had been on Deposit under this Agreement at all times from the Deposit Date until the date of such re-deposit, and thereafter shall bear interest as provided in Section 2.1. The Escrow Agent shall provide the Depositary with notice of the re-deposit at least two Business Days prior to such re-deposit and the Depositary shall promptly give notice to the Escrow Agent of receipt of each such re-deposit and the account number assigned thereto.

Section 3. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate on the fifth Business Day after the later of the date on which (i) all of the Deposits shall have been withdrawn and paid as provided herein without any re-deposit of such funds and (ii) all accrued and unpaid interest on the Deposits shall have been paid as provided herein, but in no event prior to the date on which the Depositary shall have performed in full its obligations hereunder.

Section 4. Payments. All payments made by the Depositary hereunder shall be paid in United States Dollars and immediately available funds by wire transfer (i) in the case of accrued interest on the Deposits payable under Section 2.2 hereof or any Final Withdrawal, directly to the Paying Agent at Wilmington Trust Company, Wilmington, Delaware, ABA#031100092, Account No. 094945-000, Attention: Steve Barone, Telephone No. (302) 636-6973, Reference: United 2009-2, or to such other account as the Paying Agent may direct from time to time in writing to the Depositary and the Escrow Agent and (ii) in the case of any withdrawal of one or more Deposits pursuant to a Notice of Financing Withdrawal or Notice of Replacement Withdrawal, directly to or as directed by the Pass Through Trustee as specified and in the manner provided in such Notice of Financing Withdrawal or Notice of Replacement Withdrawal. The Depositary hereby waives any and all rights of set-off, combination of accounts, right of retention or similar right (whether arising under applicable law, contract or otherwise) it may have against the Deposits howsoever arising. Except as expressly provided below, all payments on or in respect of each Deposit shall be made free and clear of and without reduction for or on account of any and all taxes, levies or other impositions or charges (collectively, “Taxes”). However, if the Depositary (or if the Paying Agent shall have notified the Depositary that the Paying Agent (pursuant to Section 2.04 of the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement)) shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder, the Depositary shall (i) make such deductions or withholding and (ii) timely pay to the appropriate authority the full amount deducted or withheld and timely file all reports and returns relating to such deductions or withholding and payment thereof in accordance with applicable law. If the date on which any payment due on any Deposit would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no additional interest shall accrue in respect of such extension.

the Escrow Agent without inquiry and without requiring substantiating evidence of any kind. The Depositary shall be under no duty to inquire into or investigate the validity, accuracy or content of any such document, notice, instruction or request except as provided in Section 17 below. The Depositary shall have no duty to solicit any payments including, without limitation, the Deposits.

Section 16.2 The Depositary shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it except to the extent that a final adjudication of a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Depositary’s gross negligence or willful misconduct was the primary cause of any loss. The Depositary may execute any of its powers and perform any of its duties hereunder directly or through agents or attorneys, and shall be liable only for its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as finally adjudicated in a court of competent jurisdiction) in the selection of any such agent or attorney. The Depositary may consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled persons to be selected and retained by it. The Depositary shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with, or in reliance upon, the advice or opinion of any such counsel, accountants or other skilled persons.

The Escrow Agent agrees to pursue any redress or recourse in connection with any dispute without making the Depositary a party to the same. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between any provision in this Agreement and a provision in any other document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Depositary be responsible or liable for special, incidental, punitive, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit, whether or not foreseeable) irrespective of whether the Depositary has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

Section 16.3 Section 326 of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (“USA PATRIOT Act”) requires the Depositary to implement reasonable procedures to verify the identity of any person that opens a new account with it.

With respect to all funds transfer instructions that are given pursuant to this Agreement (other than in writing at the time of execution of this Agreement) whether in writing, by facsimile or otherwise, the Depositary is authorized to seek confirmation of such instructions by telephone call-back to the person or persons designated on Schedule II hereto (“Schedule II”), and the Depositary may rely upon the confirmation of anyone purporting to be the person or persons so designated. Each funds transfer instruction shall be executed by an authorized signatory, a list of such signatories is set forth on Schedule II. The persons and telephone numbers for call-backs may be changed only in a writing actually received and acknowledged by the Depositary.

Such “Executive Officer” shall deliver to the Depositary fully executed incumbency certificate, and the Depositary may rely upon the confirmation of anyone purporting to be any such officer. The Depositary and the beneficiary’s bank in any funds transfer may rely solely upon any account numbers or similar identifying numbers provided by the Escrow Agent to identify (a) the beneficiary, (b) the beneficiary’s bank, or (c) an intermediary bank. The Depositary may apply any of the escrowed funds for any payment order it executes using any such identifying number, even when its use may result in a person other than the beneficiary being paid, or the transfer of funds to a bank other than the beneficiary’s bank or designated intermediary bank, as applicable. The Escrow Agent acknowledges that these security procedures are commercially reasonable.

[Deposit Agreement (Class B)]

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the obligations contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Section 1.1 Acceptance of Depositary. The Depositary hereby agrees to act as depositary bank as provided herein and in connection therewith to accept all amounts to be delivered to or held by the Depositary pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall not have any right to withdraw, assign or otherwise transfer moneys held in the Accounts except as permitted by this Agreement.

Section 1.2 Establishment of Accounts. The Escrow Agent hereby instructs the Depositary, and the Depositary agrees, to establish the separate deposit accounts listed on Schedule I hereto and to establish such additional separate deposit accounts as may be required in connection with the deposits contemplated by Section 2.4 hereof (each, an “Account” and collectively, the “Accounts”), each in the name of the Escrow Agent and all on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. It is the express intention of the parties hereto that all amounts on deposit hereunder be deemed to be general deposits, not special deposits, and that such deposits create a customer and bank relationship between the Escrow Agent and Depository.

Section 2.1 Deposits. The Escrow Agent shall direct the Underwriters to deposit with the Depositary on the date of this Agreement (the “Deposit Date”) in Federal (same day) funds by wire transfer to the account of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., ABA: 021000021, Account Number: 9009000150, Account Name: PTFS, Account Number: E01054 for further credit to Wilmington Trust Company, ref: United EETC 2009-2B-O, and the Depositary shall accept from the Underwriters, on behalf of the Escrow Agent, the sum of US$112,606,000. Upon acceptance of such sum, the Depositary shall (i) establish each of the deposits specified in Schedule I hereto maturing on February 22, 2010 (including any deposit made pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof, individually, a “Deposit” and, collectively, the “Deposits”) and (ii) credit each Deposit to the related Account as set forth therein. No amount shall be deposited in any Account other than the related Deposit.

Section 2.2 Interest. Each Deposit shall bear interest from and including the date of deposit to but excluding the date of withdrawal at the rate of 12.000% per annum (computed on the basis of a year of twelve 30 day months) payable to the Paying Agent on behalf of the Escrow Agent in arrears on July 15, 2010 and on the date of the Final Withdrawal (as defined below), if any, or the date of the Replacement Withdrawal (as defined below), as applicable, all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Interest accrued on any Deposit that is withdrawn pursuant to a Notice of Financing Withdrawal (as defined below) shall be paid on July 15, 2010, notwithstanding any intervening Final Withdrawal (as defined below).

Section 2.3 Withdrawals. (a) On and after the date seven days after the establishment of any Deposit, the Escrow Agent may, by providing at least two Business Days’ prior notice of withdrawal to the Depositary in the form of Exhibit A hereto (a “Notice of

 

2


[Deposit Agreement (Class B)]

 

Financing Withdrawal”), withdraw not less than the entire balance of such Deposit, except that at any time prior to the actual withdrawal of such Deposit, the Escrow Agent may, by notice to the Depositary, which notice has been actually received by the Depositary prior to such actual withdrawal, cancel such withdrawal (including on the scheduled date therefor), and thereafter such Deposit shall continue to be maintained by the Depositary in accordance with the original terms thereof. Following such withdrawal the balance in the related Account shall be zero and the Depositary shall close such Account. As used in this Agreement, “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law to close in New York, New York, Chicago, Illinois or Wilmington, Delaware. The Depositary may waive the foregoing requirement that any Deposit can only be withdrawn on or after seven days after the establishment thereof, and may instead reserve the right, upon at least 14 days’ prior written notice to United, the Escrow Agent and the Pass Through Trustee, to require seven days’ notice for any withdrawal.

(b) (i) The Escrow Agent may, by providing at least 15 days’ prior notice of withdrawal to the Depositary in the form of Exhibit B hereto (a “Notice of Final Withdrawal”), withdraw the entire amount of all of the remaining Deposits together with the payment by the Depositary of all accrued and unpaid interest on such Deposits to but excluding the specified date of withdrawal (a “Final Withdrawal”), on such date as shall be specified in such Notice of Final Withdrawal. If a Notice of Final Withdrawal has not been given to the Depositary on or before February 7, 2010 and there are unwithdrawn Deposits on such date, the Depositary shall pay the amount of the Final Withdrawal to the Paying Agent on February 22, 2010.

(ii) The Escrow Agent may, by providing at least five Business Days prior notice of withdrawal to the Depositary in the form of Exhibit C hereto (a “Notice of Replacement Withdrawal”), withdraw the entire amount of all Deposits then held by the Depositary together with all accrued and unpaid interest on such Deposits (including Deposits previously withdrawn pursuant to a Notice of Financing Withdrawal) to but excluding the specified date of withdrawal (a “Replacement Withdrawal”), on such date as shall be specified in such Notice of Replacement Withdrawal.

(c) If the Depositary receives a duly completed Notice of Financing Withdrawal or Notice of Final Withdrawal or Notice of Replacement Withdrawal (each, a “Withdrawal Notice”) complying with the provisions of this Agreement, it shall make the payments specified therein in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

If such complying Withdrawal Notice is received by the Depositary no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day, the Depositary shall make the payments requested in such Withdrawal Notice no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the next succeeding Business Day or such later time as requested by the Escrow Agent while funds may be transferred in the Fed Wire electronic transfer system as specified in such Withdrawal Notice. If such complying Withdrawal Notice is received by the Depositary after 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day, the Depositary shall make the payments requested in such Withdrawal Notice no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day next following such Business Day or such later time as requested by the Escrow Agent while funds may be transferred in the Fed Wire electronic transfer system as specified in such Withdrawal Notice.

Section 2.4 Other Accounts. On the date of withdrawal of any Deposit pursuant to a Notice of Financing Withdrawal, the Escrow Agent, or the Pass Through Trustee on behalf of the Escrow Agent, shall be entitled to re-deposit with the Depositary any portion thereof not used to acquire Equipment Notes and the Depositary shall accept the same for deposit hereunder. Any sums so received for deposit shall be established as a new Deposit and credited to a new Account, all as more fully provided in Section 2.1 hereof, and thereafter the provisions of this Agreement shall apply thereto as fully and with the same force and effect as if such Deposit had been established on the Deposit Date except that (i) such Deposit may not be withdrawn prior to the date seven days after the establishment thereof and (ii) interest on the amount so re-deposited shall be calculated as if such amount had been on Deposit under this Agreement at all times from the Deposit Date until the date of such re-deposit, and thereafter shall bear interest as provided in Section 2.1. The Escrow Agent shall provide the Depositary with notice of the re-deposit at least two Business Days prior to such re-deposit and the Depositary shall promptly give notice to the Escrow Agent of receipt of each such re-deposit and the account number assigned thereto.

Section 3. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate on the fifth Business Day after the later of the date on which (i) all of the Deposits shall have been withdrawn and paid as provided herein without any re-deposit of such funds and (ii) all accrued and unpaid interest on the Deposits shall have been paid as provided herein, but in no event prior to the date on which the Depositary shall have performed in full its obligations hereunder.

Section 4. Payments. All payments made by the Depositary hereunder shall be paid in United States Dollars and immediately available funds by wire transfer (i) in the case of accrued interest on the Deposits payable under Section 2.2 hereof or any Final Withdrawal, directly to the Paying Agent at Wilmington Trust Company, Wilmington, Delaware, ABA#031100092, Account No. 094946-000, Attention: Steve Barone, Telephone No. (302) 636-6973, Reference: United 2009-2, or to such other account as the Paying Agent may direct from time to time in writing to the Depositary and the Escrow Agent and (ii) in the case of any withdrawal of one or more Deposits pursuant to a Notice of Financing Withdrawal or Notice of Replacement Withdrawal, directly to or as directed by the Pass Through Trustee as specified and in the manner provided in such Notice of Financing Withdrawal or Notice of Replacement Withdrawal. The Depositary hereby waives any and all rights of set-off, combination of accounts, right of retention or similar right (whether arising under applicable law, contract or otherwise) it may have against the Deposits howsoever arising. Except as expressly provided below, all payments on or in respect of each Deposit shall be made free and clear of and without reduction for or on account of any and all taxes, levies or other impositions or charges (collectively, “Taxes”). However, if the Depositary (or if the Paying Agent shall have notified the Depositary that the Paying Agent (pursuant to Section 2.04 of the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement)) shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder, the Depositary shall (i) make such deductions or withholding and (ii) timely pay to the appropriate authority the full amount deducted or withheld and timely file all reports and returns relating to such deductions or withholding and payment thereof in accordance with applicable law. If the date on which any payment due on any Deposit would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no additional interest shall accrue in respect of such extension.

Section 13. Waiver of Jury Trial Right. EACH OF THE DEPOSITARY AND THE ESCROW AGENT ACKNOWLEDGES AND ACCEPTS THAT IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT SUCH PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

Section 16. Limitation on Damages.

Section 16.1 The Depositary shall have only those duties as are specifically and expressly provided herein and no other duties shall be implied. The Depositary may rely upon and shall not be liable for acting or refraining from acting upon any written notice, document, instruction or request furnished to it hereunder and believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the Escrow Agent without inquiry and without requiring substantiating evidence of any kind.

[Deposit Agreement (Class B)]

 

duty to inquire into or investigate the validity, accuracy or content of any such document, notice, instruction or request except as provided in Section 17 below. The Depositary shall have no duty to solicit any payments including, without limitation, the Deposits.

Section 16.2 The Depositary shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it except to the extent that a final adjudication of a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Depositary’s gross negligence or willful misconduct was the primary cause of any loss. The Depositary may execute any of its powers and perform any of its duties hereunder directly or through agents or attorneys, and shall be liable only for its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as finally adjudicated in a court of competent jurisdiction) in the selection of any such agent or attorney.

The Escrow Agent agrees to pursue any redress or recourse in connection with any dispute without making the Depositary a party to the same. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between any provision in this Agreement and a provision in any other document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Depositary be responsible or liable for special, incidental, punitive, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit, whether or not foreseeable) irrespective of whether the Depositary has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

Section 16.3 Section 326 of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (“USA PATRIOT Act”) requires the Depositary to implement reasonable procedures to verify the identity of any person that opens a new account with it.

The Depositary may apply any of the escrowed funds for any payment order it executes using any such identifying number, even when its use may result in a person other than the beneficiary being paid, or the transfer of funds to a bank other than the beneficiary’s bank or designated intermediary bank, as applicable. The Escrow Agent acknowledges that these security procedures are commercially reasonable.

Section 1. Escrow Agent.

1.01. Appointment of Escrow Agent. Each of the Underwriters, for and on behalf of each of the Investors, hereby irrevocably appoints, authorizes and directs the Escrow Agent to act as escrow agent and fiduciary hereunder and under the Deposit Agreement for such specific purposes and with such powers as are specifically delegated to the Escrow Agent by the terms of this Agreement, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Any and all money received and held by the Escrow Agent under this Agreement or the Deposit Agreement shall be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

[Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement (Class A)]

 

1.02. Instruction; Etc. The Underwriters, for and on behalf of each of the Investors, hereby irrevocably instruct the Escrow Agent, and the Escrow Agent agrees, (a) to enter into the Deposit Agreement and, if requested by the Company pursuant to Section 4(a)(iii) of the Note Purchase Agreement, to enter into a Replacement Deposit Agreement with the Replacement Depositary specified by the Company, (b) to appoint the Paying Agent as provided in this Agreement, (c) upon receipt at any time and from time to time prior to the Termination Date (as defined below) of a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto (a “Withdrawal Certificate”) executed by the Pass Through Trustee, together with an attached Notice of Financing Withdrawal in substantially the form of Exhibit A to the Deposit Agreement duly completed by the Pass Through Trustee (the “Applicable Notice of Financing Withdrawal” and the withdrawal to which it relates, a “Financing Withdrawal”), immediately to execute the Applicable Notice of Financing Withdrawal as Escrow Agent and transmit it to the Depositary by facsimile transmission in accordance with the Deposit Agreement; provided that, upon the request of the Pass Through Trustee after such transmission, the Escrow Agent shall cancel such Applicable Notice of Financing Withdrawal, (d) upon receipt of a Withdrawal Certificate executed by the Pass Through Trustee, together with an attached Notice of Replacement Withdrawal in substantially the form of Exhibit C to the Deposit Agreement duly completed by the Pass Through Trustee, to (X) give such Notice of Replacement Withdrawal to the Depositary requesting a withdrawal, on the date specified in such notice, which shall not be less than Five Business Days after such notice is given (the “Replacement Withdrawal Date”), of all Deposits then held by the Depositary together with all accrued and unpaid interest on such Deposits to but excluding the Replacement Withdrawal Date, and (Y) direct the Depositary to transfer such Deposits and accrued interest on behalf of the Escrow Agent to the Replacement Depositary in accordance with the Replacement Deposit Agreement, and (e) if there are any undrawn Deposits (as defined in the Deposit Agreement) on the “Termination Date”, which shall mean the earlier of (i) the Deposit Period Termination Date (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) and (ii) the day on which the Escrow Agent receives notice from the Pass Through Trustee that the Pass Through Trustee’s obligation to purchase Equipment Notes under the Note Purchase Agreement has terminated, to immediately give notice to the Depositary (with a copy to the Paying Agent) substantially in the form of Exhibit B to the Deposit Agreement requesting a withdrawal of all of the remaining Deposits, together with accrued and unpaid interest on such Deposits to the date of withdrawal, on the 15th day after the date that such notice of withdrawal is given to the Depositary (or, if not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day) (a “Final Withdrawal”), provided that if the day scheduled for the Final Withdrawal in accordance with the foregoing is within 10 days before or after a Regular Distribution Date, then the Escrow Agent shall request that such requested Final Withdrawal be made on such Regular Distribution Date (the date of such requested withdrawal, the “Final Withdrawal Date”). If for any reason the Escrow Agent shall have failed to give the Final Withdrawal notice to the Depositary on or before February 7, 2010, and there are unwithdrawn Deposits on such date, the Final Withdrawal Date shall be deemed to be February 14, 2010.

1.03. Initial Escrow Amount; Issuance of Escrow Receipts. The Escrow Agent hereby directs the Underwriters to, and the Underwriters hereby acknowledge that on the date hereof they shall, irrevocably deliver to the Depositary on behalf of the Escrow Agent, an amount in U.S. dollars (“Dollars”) and immediately available funds equal to $697,731,000 for deposit on behalf of the Escrow Agent with the Depositary in accordance with Section 2.1 of the Deposit Agreement. The Underwriters hereby instruct the Escrow Agent, upon receipt of such sum from the Underwriters, to confirm such receipt by executing and delivering to the Pass

 

3


[Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement (Class A)]

 

Through Trustee an Escrow Receipt in the form of Exhibit A hereto (an “Escrow Receipt”), (a) to be affixed by the Pass Through Trustee to each Certificate and (b) to evidence the same percentage interest (the “Escrow Interest”) in the Account Amounts (as defined below) as the Fractional Undivided Interest in the Pass Through Trust evidenced by the Certificate to which it is to be affixed. The Escrow Agent shall provide to the Pass Through Trustee for attachment to each Certificate newly issued under and in accordance with the Pass Through Trust Agreement an executed Escrow Receipt as the Pass Through Trustee may from time to time request of the Escrow Agent. Each Escrow Receipt shall be registered by the Escrow Agent in a register (the “Register”) maintained by the Escrow Agent in the name of the same holder that is the holder of the Certificate to which it is attached and may not thereafter be detached from such Certificate to which it is to be affixed prior to the distribution of the Final Withdrawal (the “Final Distribution”). After the Final Distribution, no additional Escrow Receipts shall be issued and the Pass Through Trustee shall request the return to the Escrow Agent for cancellation of all outstanding Escrow Receipts.

1.04. Payments to Receiptholders. All payments and distributions made to holders of an Escrow Receipt (collectively “Receiptholders”) in respect of the Escrow Receipt shall be made only from amounts deposited in the Paying Agent Account (as defined below) (“Account Amounts”). Each Receiptholder, by its acceptance of an Escrow Receipt, agrees that (a) it will look solely to the Account Amounts for any payment or distribution due to such Receiptholder pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Receipt and this Agreement (subject to Section 15 hereof) and (b) it will have no recourse to United, the Pass Through Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Escrow Agent or Wilmington Trust Company, except as expressly provided herein or in the Pass Through Trust Agreement. No Receiptholder shall have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the Paying Agent Account or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything set forth herein, or contained in the terms of the Escrow Receipt, be construed so as to constitute the Receiptholders from time to time as partners or members of an association.

1.05. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Escrow Receipt. If (a) any mutilated Escrow Receipt is surrendered to the Escrow Agent or the Escrow Agent receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Escrow Receipt and (b) there is delivered to the Escrow Agent and the Pass Through Trustee such security, indemnity or bond, as may be required by them to hold each of them harmless, then, absent notice to the Escrow Agent or the Pass Through Trustee that such destroyed, lost or stolen Escrow Receipt has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, and provided that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any applicable jurisdiction are met, the Escrow Agent shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Escrow Receipt, a new Escrow Receipt or Escrow Receipts and of like Escrow Interest in the Account Amounts and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

In connection with the issuance of any new Escrow Receipt under this Section 1.05, the Escrow Agent may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Pass Through Trustee and the Escrow Agent) connected therewith.

 

4


[Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement (Class A)]

 

Any duplicate Escrow Receipt issued pursuant to this Section 1.05 shall constitute conclusive evidence of the appropriate Escrow Interest in the Account Amounts, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Escrow Receipt shall be found at any time.

The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Escrow Receipts.

1.06. Additional Escrow Amounts. On the date of any Financing Withdrawal, the Pass Through Trustee may re-deposit with the Depositary some or all of the amounts so withdrawn in accordance with Section 2.4 of the Deposit Agreement.

1.07. Resignation or Removal of Escrow Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Escrow Agent as provided below, the Escrow Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Investors, but may not otherwise be removed except for cause by the written consent of the Investors with respect to Investors representing Escrow Interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest in the Account Amounts (an “Action of Investors”). Upon any such resignation or removal, the Investors, by an Action of Investors, shall have the right to appoint a successor Escrow Agent. If no successor Escrow Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Escrow Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the removal of the retiring Escrow Agent, then the retiring Escrow Agent may appoint a successor Escrow Agent. Any successor Escrow Agent shall be a bank which has an office in the United States with a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Escrow Agent hereunder by a successor Escrow Agent, such successor Escrow Agent shall enter into such documents as the Pass Through Trustee shall require and shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Escrow Agent, and the retiring Escrow Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. No resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent shall be effective unless a written confirmation shall have been obtained from each of Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC business, that the replacement of the Escrow Agent with the successor Escrow Agent will not result in (a) a reduction of the rating for the Certificates below the then current rating for the Certificates or (b) a withdrawal or suspension of the rating of the Certificates.

1.08. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Escrow Agent and the Paying Agent may treat the Person in whose name any Escrow Receipt is registered (as of the day of determination) as the owner of such Escrow Receipt for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to this Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Escrow Agent nor the Paying Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

1.09. Further Assurances. The Escrow Agent agrees to take such actions, and execute such other documents, as may be reasonably requested by the Pass Through Trustee in order to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement and the performance by the Escrow Agent of its obligations hereunder.

[Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement (Class A)]

 

Section 2. Paying Agent.

2.01. Appointment of Paying Agent. The Escrow Agent hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Paying Agent to act as its paying agent hereunder, for the benefit of the Investors, for such specific purposes and with such powers as are specifically delegated to the Paying Agent by the terms of this Agreement, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Any and all money received and held by the Paying Agent under this Agreement or the Deposit Agreement shall be held in the Paying Agent Account for the benefit of the Investors. The Paying Agent (which term as used in this sentence shall include reference to its affiliates and its own and its affiliates’ officers, directors, employees and agents): (a) shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, and shall not by reason of this Agreement be a trustee for the Escrow Agent; (b) shall not be responsible to the Escrow Agent for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties of any person other than itself contained in this Agreement or for the failure by the Escrow Agent or any other person or entity (other than the Paying Agent) to perform any of its obligations hereunder (whether or not the Paying Agent shall have any knowledge thereof); and (c) except in respect of its express obligations hereunder, shall not be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or provided for herein or in connection herewith, except for its own willful misconduct or gross negligence (or simple negligence in connection with the handling of funds actually received by it in accordance with the terms of this Agreement).

2.02. Establishment of Paying Agent Account. The Paying Agent shall establish a deposit account (the “Paying Agent Account”) at Wilmington Trust Company in the name of the Escrow Agent. It is expressly understood by the parties hereto that the Paying Agent is acting as the paying agent of the Escrow Agent hereunder and that no amounts on deposit in the Paying Agent Account constitute part of the Trust Property.

2.03. Payments from Paying Agent Account. The Escrow Agent hereby irrevocably instructs the Paying Agent, and the Paying Agent agrees to act, as follows:

(a) Upon the confirmation by the Paying Agent of receipt in the Paying Agent Account from the Depositary of any amount in respect of the Final Withdrawal, the Paying Agent shall forthwith distribute the entire amount of the Final Withdrawal deposited therein by the Depositary. There shall be so distributed to each Receiptholder of record on the 15th day (whether or not a Business Day) preceding the Final Withdrawal Date by check mailed to such Receiptholder, at the address appearing in the Register, such Receiptholder’s pro rata share (based on the Escrow Interest in the Account Amounts held by such Receiptholder) of the total amount in the Paying Agent Account on account of such Final Withdrawal, except that, with respect to Escrow Receipts registered on the Record Date in the name of The Depositary Trust Company “DTC”), such distribution shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by DTC.

(b) If any payment of interest or principal in respect of the Final Withdrawal is not received by the Paying Agent within five days of the applicable date when due, then it shall be distributed to Receiptholders after actual receipt by the Paying Agent on the same basis as a Special Payment is distributed under the Pass Through Trust Agreement.

 

6


[Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement (Class A)]

 

(c) The Paying Agent shall include with any check mailed pursuant to this Section any notice required to be distributed under the Pass Through Trust Agreement that is furnished to the Paying Agent by the Pass Through Trustee.

2.04. Withholding Taxes. The Paying Agent shall exclude and withhold from each distribution of accrued interest on the Deposits (as defined in the Deposit Agreement) and any amount in respect of the Final Withdrawal any and all withholding taxes applicable thereto as required by law. The Paying Agent agrees to act as such withholding agent and, in connection therewith, whenever any present or future taxes or similar charges are required to be withheld with respect to any amounts payable in respect of the Deposits (as defined in the Deposit Agreement) or the escrow amounts, to withhold such amounts and timely pay the same to the appropriate authority in the name of and on behalf of the Receiptholders, that it will file any necessary withholding tax returns or statements when due, and that, as promptly as possible after the payment thereof, it will deliver to each such Receiptholder appropriate documentation showing the payment thereof, together with such additional documentary evidence as such Receiptholder may reasonably request from time to time. The Paying Agent agrees to file any other information reports as it may be required to file under United States law.

2.05. Resignation or Removal of Paying Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Paying Agent as provided below, the Paying Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Escrow Agent, but may not otherwise be removed except for cause by the Escrow Agent. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Escrow Agent shall have the right to appoint a successor Paying Agent. If no successor Paying Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Paying Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the removal of the retiring Paying Agent, then the retiring Paying Agent may appoint a successor Paying Agent. Any successor Paying Agent shall be a bank which has an office in the United States with a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Paying Agent hereunder by a successor Paying Agent, such successor Paying Agent shall enter into such documents as the Escrow Agent shall require and shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Paying Agent, and the retiring Paying Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder.

2.06. Notice of Final Withdrawal. Promptly after receipt by the Paying Agent of notice that the Escrow Agent has requested a Final Withdrawal or that a Final Withdrawal will be made, the Paying Agent shall cause notice of the distribution of such Final Withdrawal to be mailed to each of the Receiptholders at its address as it appears in the Register. Such notice shall be mailed not less than 15 days prior to the Final Withdrawal Date. Such notice shall set forth:

(i) the Final Withdrawal Date and the date for determining Receiptholders of record who shall be entitled to receive distributions in respect of such Final Withdrawal,

(ii) the amount of the payment in respect of such Final Withdrawal for each $1,000 face amount Certificate (based on information provided by the Pass Through Trustee) and the amount thereof constituting unused Deposits (as defined in the Deposit Agreement) and interest thereon, and

Section 3. Payments. If, notwithstanding the instructions in Section 4 of the Deposit Agreement that all amounts payable to the Escrow Agent under the Deposit Agreement be paid by the Depositary directly to the Paying Agent or the Pass Through Trustee or a Replacement Depositary (depending on the circumstances), the Escrow Agent receives any payment thereunder, then the Escrow Agent shall forthwith pay such amount in Dollars and in immediately available funds by wire transfer to (a) in the case of any Final Withdrawal, directly to the Paying Agent Account, (b) in the case of any Financing Withdrawal, directly to the Pass Through Trustee or its designee as specified and in the manner provided in the Applicable Notice of Financing Withdrawal and (c) in the case of any Replacement Withdrawal, to the Replacement Depositary as provided in the Replacement Depositary Agreement.

This Escrow Receipt is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement. By virtue of its acceptance hereof the holder of this Escrow Receipt assents and agrees to be bound by the provisions of the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement and this Escrow Receipt.

This Escrow Receipt represents a fractional undivided interest in amounts deposited from time to time in the Paying Agent Account, and grants or represents no rights, benefits or interests of any kind in respect of any assets or property other than such amounts.

No Receiptholder of this Escrow Receipt shall have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the Paying Agent Account, nor shall anything set forth herein, or contained in the terms of this Escrow Receipt, be construed so as to constitute the Receiptholders from time to time as partners or members of an association.

After payment to the holder hereof of its Escrow Interest in the Final Distribution, upon the request of the Pass Through Trustee, the holder hereof will return this Escrow Receipt to the Pass Through Trustee.

If for any reason the Escrow Agent shall have failed to give the Final Withdrawal notice to the Depositary on or before February 7, 2010, and there are unwithdrawn Deposits on such date, the Final Withdrawal Date shall be deemed to be February 14, 2010.

[Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement (Class B)]

 

Through Trustee an Escrow Receipt in the form of Exhibit A hereto (an “Escrow Receipt”), (a) to be affixed by the Pass Through Trustee to each Certificate and (b) to evidence the same percentage interest (the “Escrow Interest”) in the Account Amounts (as defined below) as the Fractional Undivided Interest in the Pass Through Trust evidenced by the Certificate to which it is to be affixed. The Escrow Agent shall provide to the Pass Through Trustee for attachment to each Certificate newly issued under and in accordance with the Pass Through Trust Agreement an executed Escrow Receipt as the Pass Through Trustee may from time to time request of the Escrow Agent. Each Escrow Receipt shall be registered by the Escrow Agent in a register (the “Register”) maintained by the Escrow Agent in the name of the same holder that is the holder of the Certificate to which it is attached and may not thereafter be detached from such Certificate to which it is to be affixed prior to the distribution of the Final Withdrawal (the “Final Distribution”). After the Final Distribution, no additional Escrow Receipts shall be issued and the Pass Through Trustee shall request the return to the Escrow Agent for cancellation of all outstanding Escrow Receipts.

1.04. Payments to Receiptholders. All payments and distributions made to holders of an Escrow Receipt (collectively “Receiptholders”) in respect of the Escrow Receipt shall be made only from amounts deposited in the Paying Agent Account (as defined below) (“Account Amounts”). Each Receiptholder, by its acceptance of an Escrow Receipt, agrees that (a) it will look solely to the Account Amounts for any payment or distribution due to such Receiptholder pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Receipt and this Agreement (subject to Section 15 hereof) and (b) it will have no recourse to United, the Pass Through Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Escrow Agent or Wilmington Trust Company, except as expressly provided herein or in the Pass Through Trust Agreement. No Receiptholder shall have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the Paying Agent Account or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything set forth herein, or contained in the terms of the Escrow Receipt, be construed so as to constitute the Receiptholders from time to time as partners or members of an association.

1.05. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Escrow Receipt. If (a) any mutilated Escrow Receipt is surrendered to the Escrow Agent or the Escrow Agent receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Escrow Receipt and (b) there is delivered to the Escrow Agent and the Pass Through Trustee such security, indemnity or bond, as may be required by them to hold each of them harmless, then, absent notice to the Escrow Agent or the Pass Through Trustee that such destroyed, lost or stolen Escrow Receipt has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, and provided that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any applicable jurisdiction are met, the Escrow Agent shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Escrow Receipt, a new Escrow Receipt or Escrow Receipts and of like Escrow Interest in the Account Amounts and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

In connection with the issuance of any new Escrow Receipt under this Section 1.05, the Escrow Agent may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Pass Through Trustee and the Escrow Agent) connected therewith.

[Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement (Class B)]

 

Any duplicate Escrow Receipt issued pursuant to this Section 1.05 shall constitute conclusive evidence of the appropriate Escrow Interest in the Account Amounts, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Escrow Receipt shall be found at any time.

The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Escrow Receipts.

1.06. Additional Escrow Amounts. On the date of any Financing Withdrawal, the Pass Through Trustee may re-deposit with the Depositary some or all of the amounts so withdrawn in accordance with Section 2.4 of the Deposit Agreement.

1.07. Resignation or Removal of Escrow Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Escrow Agent as provided below, the Escrow Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Investors, but may not otherwise be removed except for cause by the written consent of the Investors with respect to Investors representing Escrow Interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest in the Account Amounts (an “Action of Investors”). Upon any such resignation or removal, the Investors, by an Action of Investors, shall have the right to appoint a successor Escrow Agent. If no successor Escrow Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Escrow Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the removal of the retiring Escrow Agent, then the retiring Escrow Agent may appoint a successor Escrow Agent. Any successor Escrow Agent shall be a bank which has an office in the United States with a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Escrow Agent hereunder by a successor Escrow Agent, such successor Escrow Agent shall enter into such documents as the Pass Through Trustee shall require and shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Escrow Agent, and the retiring Escrow Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. No resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent shall be effective unless a written confirmation shall have been obtained from each of Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC business, that the replacement of the Escrow Agent with the successor Escrow Agent will not result in (a) a reduction of the rating for the Certificates below the then current rating for the Certificates or (b) a withdrawal or suspension of the rating of the Certificates.

1.08. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Escrow Agent and the Paying Agent may treat the Person in whose name any Escrow Receipt is registered (as of the day of determination) as the owner of such Escrow Receipt for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to this Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Escrow Agent nor the Paying Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

1.09. Further Assurances. The Escrow Agent agrees to take such actions, and execute such other documents, as may be reasonably requested by the Pass Through Trustee in order to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement and the performance by the Escrow Agent of its obligations hereunder.

The Paying Agent (which term as used in this sentence shall include reference to its affiliates and its own and its affiliates’ officers, directors, employees and agents): (a) shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, and shall not by reason of this Agreement be a trustee for the Escrow Agent; (b) shall not be responsible to the Escrow Agent for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties of any person other than itself contained in this Agreement or for the failure by the Escrow Agent or any other person or entity (other than the Paying Agent) to perform any of its obligations hereunder (whether or not the Paying Agent shall have any knowledge thereof); and (c) except in respect of its express obligations hereunder, shall not be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or provided for herein or in connection herewith, except for its own willful misconduct or gross negligence (or simple negligence in connection with the handling of funds actually received by it in accordance with the terms of this Agreement).

2.02. Establishment of Paying Agent Account. The Paying Agent shall establish a deposit account (the “Paying Agent Account”) at Wilmington Trust Company in the name of the Escrow Agent. It is expressly understood by the parties hereto that the Paying Agent is acting as the paying agent of the Escrow Agent hereunder and that no amounts on deposit in the Paying Agent Account constitute part of the Trust Property.

2.03. Payments from Paying Agent Account. The Escrow Agent hereby irrevocably instructs the Paying Agent, and the Paying Agent agrees to act, as follows:

(a) Upon the confirmation by the Paying Agent of receipt in the Paying Agent Account from the Depositary of any amount in respect of the Final Withdrawal, the Paying Agent shall forthwith distribute the entire amount of the Final Withdrawal deposited therein by the Depositary. There shall be so distributed to each Receiptholder of record on the 15th day (whether or not a Business Day) preceding the Final Withdrawal Date by check mailed to such Receiptholder, at the address appearing in the Register, such Receiptholder’s pro rata share (based on the Escrow Interest in the Account Amounts held by such Receiptholder) of the total amount in the Paying Agent Account on account of such Final Withdrawal, except that, with respect to Escrow Receipts registered on the Record Date in the name of The Depositary Trust Company “DTC”), such distribution shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by DTC.

(b) If any payment of interest or principal in respect of the Final Withdrawal is not received by the Paying Agent within five days of the applicable date when due, then it shall be distributed to Receiptholders after actual receipt by the Paying Agent on the same basis as a Special Payment is distributed under the Pass Through Trust Agreement.

(c) The Paying Agent shall include with any check mailed pursuant to this Section any notice required to be distributed under the Pass Through Trust Agreement that is furnished to the Paying Agent by the Pass Through Trustee.

2.04. Withholding Taxes. The Paying Agent shall exclude and withhold from each distribution of accrued interest on the Deposits (as defined in the Deposit Agreement) and any amount in respect of the Final Withdrawal any and all withholding taxes applicable thereto as required by law. The Paying Agent agrees to act as such withholding agent and, in connection therewith, whenever any present or future taxes or similar charges are required to be withheld with respect to any amounts payable in respect of the Deposits (as defined in the Deposit Agreement) or the escrow amounts, to withhold such amounts and timely pay the same to the appropriate authority in the name of and on behalf of the Receiptholders, that it will file any necessary withholding tax returns or statements when due, and that, as promptly as possible after the payment thereof, it will deliver to each such Receiptholder appropriate documentation showing the payment thereof, together with such additional documentary evidence as such Receiptholder may reasonably request from time to time. The Paying Agent agrees to file any other information reports as it may be required to file under United States law.

2.05. Resignation or Removal of Paying Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Paying Agent as provided below, the Paying Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Escrow Agent, but may not otherwise be removed except for cause by the Escrow Agent. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Escrow Agent shall have the right to appoint a successor Paying Agent. If no successor Paying Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Paying Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the removal of the retiring Paying Agent, then the retiring Paying Agent may appoint a successor Paying Agent. Any successor Paying Agent shall be a bank which has an office in the United States with a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Paying Agent hereunder by a successor Paying Agent, such successor Paying Agent shall enter into such documents as the Escrow Agent shall require and shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Paying Agent, and the retiring Paying Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder.

2.06. Notice of Final Withdrawal. Promptly after receipt by the Paying Agent of notice that the Escrow Agent has requested a Final Withdrawal or that a Final Withdrawal will be made, the Paying Agent shall cause notice of the distribution of such Final Withdrawal to be mailed to each of the Receiptholders at its address as it appears in the Register. Such notice shall be mailed not less than 15 days prior to the Final Withdrawal Date. Such notice shall set forth:

(i) the Final Withdrawal Date and the date for determining Receiptholders of record who shall be entitled to receive distributions in respect of such Final Withdrawal,

Such mailing may include any notice required to be given to Certificateholders in connection with such distribution pursuant to the Pass Through Trust Agreement.

Section 3. Payments. If, notwithstanding the instructions in Section 4 of the Deposit Agreement that all amounts payable to the Escrow Agent under the Deposit Agreement be paid by the Depositary directly to the Paying Agent or the Pass Through Trustee or a Replacement Depositary (depending on the circumstances), the Escrow Agent receives any payment thereunder, then the Escrow Agent shall forthwith pay such amount in Dollars and in immediately available funds by wire transfer to (a) in the case of any Final Withdrawal, directly to the Paying Agent Account, (b) in the case of any Financing Withdrawal, directly to the Pass Through Trustee or its designee as specified and in the manner provided in the Applicable Notice of Financing Withdrawal and (c) in the case of any Replacement Withdrawal, to the Replacement Depositary as provided in the Replacement Depositary Agreement.

This Escrow Receipt represents a fractional undivided interest in amounts deposited from time to time in the Paying Agent Account, and grants or represents no rights, benefits or interests of any kind in respect of any assets or property other than such amounts. This Escrow Receipt evidences the same percentage interest in the Account Amounts as the Fractional Undivided Interest in the Pass Through Trust evidenced by the Certificate to which this Escrow Receipt is affixed.

All payments and distributions made to Receiptholders in respect of the Escrow Receipt shall be made only from Account Amounts deposited in the Paying Agent Account. The holder of this Escrow Receipt, by its acceptance of this Escrow Receipt, agrees that it will look solely to the Account Amounts for any payment or distribution due to it pursuant to this Escrow Receipt (or, in case the Depositary shall default in its obligation to make a payment under the Deposit Agreement that would be an Account Amount, to the Depositary) and that it will not have any recourse to United, the Pass Through Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Escrow Agent, except as expressly provided herein or in the Pass Through Trust Agreement. No Receiptholder of this Escrow Receipt shall have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the Paying Agent Account, nor shall anything set forth herein, or contained in the terms of this Escrow Receipt, be construed so as to constitute the Receiptholders from time to time as partners or members of an association.

This Escrow Receipt may not be assigned or transferred except in connection with the assignment or transfer of the Certificate to which this Escrow Receipt is affixed. After payment to the holder hereof of its Escrow Interest in the Final Distribution, upon the request of the Pass Through Trustee, the holder hereof will return this Escrow Receipt to the Pass Through Trustee.
