The Pass Through Certificates do not represent a direct obligation of, or
an obligation guaranteed by, or an interest in, the Company or the Pass Through
Trustee or any affiliate thereof. The Pass Through Certificates are limited in
right of payment, all as more specifically set forth on the face hereof and in
the Pass Through Agreement and the Series Supplement. All payments or
distributions made to Certificateholders under the Pass Through Agreement shall
be made only from the Trust Property and only to the extent that the Pass
Through Trustee shall have sufficient income or proceeds from the Trust Property
to make such payments in accordance with the terms of the Pass Through Agreement
and the Series Supplement. Each Certificateholder of this Pass Through
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 Pass Through Agreement
and the Series Supplement. This Pass Through Certificate does not purport to
summarize the Pass Through Agreement and the Series Supplement and reference is
made to the Pass Through Agreement and the Series Supplement for information
with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and
duties evidenced hereby. A copy of the Pass Through Agreement and the Series
Supplement may be examined during normal business hours at the principal office
of the Pass Through Trustee, and at such other places, if any, designated by the
Pass Through Trustee, by any Certificateholder upon request.
As of the date of issuance of this Pass Through Certificate, and assuming
that no early redemption, purchase or default in respect of the Equipment Trust
Certificate shall occur, the aggregate scheduled repayments of principal on the
Equipment Trust Certificate for the Pass Through Trust and the resulting Pool
Factors for the Pass Through Trust after taking into account each such repayment

The Pass Through Agreement and the Series Supplement permit, with certain
exceptions provided therein, the amendment thereof and the modification of the
rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Certificateholders
under the Pass Through Trust at any time by the Company and the Pass Through
Trustee with the consent of the Majority In Interest of Certificateholders in
the Pass Through Trust. Any such consent by the Certificateholder of this Pass
Through Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Certificateholder
and upon all future Certificateholders of this Pass Through Certificate and of
any Pass Through 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 Pass Through Certificate. The Pass Through Agreement and the Series
Supplement also permit the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances,
without the consent of the Certificateholders of any of the Pass Through
Certificates.
As provided in the Pass Through Agreement and the Series Supplement and
subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Pass
Through Certificate is registrable in the Register upon surrender of this Pass
Through Certificate for registration of transfer at the facilities or agencies
maintained by the Pass Through 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 Pass Through 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 Pass Through
Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate
Fractional Undivided Interest in the Pass Through Trust will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.
The Pass Through Certificates are issuable only as registered Pass Through
Certificates without coupons in minimum original denominations of $1,000

the Pass Through Agreement and the Series Supplement and subject to certain
limitations set forth therein, Pass Through Certificates are exchangeable for
new Pass Through Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest in the Pass Through 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 Pass Through Trustee shall require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Pass Through Trustee, the Registrar, and any agent of the Pass Through
Trustee or the Registrar may treat the person in whose name this Pass Through
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the
Pass Through Trustee, the Registrar, nor any such agent shall be affected by any

It is expressly agreed that anything herein contained to the contrary

Documents to perform all of the obligations assumed by it thereunder, all in
accordance with and pursuant to the terms and provisions thereof, and the
Indenture Trustee and the Holders shall have no obligation or liability under
any thereof by reason of or arising out of the assignment hereunder, nor shall

and all moneys from time to time received by it constituting part of the
Indenture Estate, for distribution by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this
Indenture, except that the Owner Trustee shall accept for distribution pursuant
to the Trust Agreement any amounts distributed to it by the Indenture Trustee
under this Indenture.
The Owner Trustee agrees that at any time and from time to time, upon the
written request of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee will promptly and
duly execute and deliver or cause to be duly executed and delivered any and all
such further instruments and documents as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably
deem desirable in obtaining the full benefits of the assignment hereunder and of
the rights and powers granted herein.
The Owner Trustee does hereby warrant and represent that it has not
assigned or pledged, and hereby covenants that it will not assign or pledge, so
long as this Indenture shall remain in effect and shall not have been terminated
pursuant to Section 14.01 hereof, any of its estate, right, title or interest
hereby assigned, to anyone other than the Indenture Trustee, and that, with
respect to such right, title and interest hereby assigned, the Owner Trustee
will not, except as provided in this Indenture or with respect to Excepted
Payments, (i) accept or retain any payment from the Lessee under any Indenture
Document, enter into any agreement amending or supplementing any of the
Indenture Documents, or execute any waiver or modification of, or consent under,
the terms of any of the Indenture Documents, (ii) settle or compromise any claim
arising under any of the Indenture Documents or (iii) submit or consent to the
submission of any dispute, difference or other matter arising under or in
respect of any of the Indenture Documents to arbitration thereunder. For

proceeds from the Indenture Estate to the extent available for distribution to
it as provided herein and that neither the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee,
the Trust Company nor the Indenture Trustee is personally liable to such Holder

or indirectly, to make payment on account of any amount payable as principal,
premium, interest or other amounts on the Certificates, and (3) the Indenture
Trustee actually receives any Excess Amount, as defined below, which reflects
any payment by the Owner Participant on account of (2) above, then the Indenture
Trustee, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall promptly refund to the
Owner Participant such Excess Amount. The Indenture Trustee hereby waives to the
fullest extent permitted by law the benefit of the provisions of Section 1111(b)
of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to recourse against the Trust Company and
the Owner Participant on account of any amount payable as principal, premium,
interest or other amounts pursuant to the Certificates. For purposes of this
paragraph, "Excess Amount" means the amount by which such payment exceeds the
amount which would have been received by the Indenture Trustee if the Trust
Company or the Owner Participant had not become subject to the recourse
liability referred to in clause (2) above. Nothing contained in this paragraph
shall prevent the Indenture Trustee from enforcing any personal recourse
obligation (and retaining the proceeds thereof) of the Owner Participant
- 17 -
<PAGE>
under the Participation Agreement, this Indenture (other than referred to in
clause (2) above) or the Trust Agreement (and any exhibits or annexes thereto),
or from retaining any amount paid by the Owner Participant under Sections 5.01,
8.02 and 8.03 hereof. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as requiring
any Holder to refund any amount distributed to such Holder pursuant to this
Indenture.
SECTION 2.06. Registration, Transfer and Exchange. The Indenture Trustee
-----------------------------------
will keep, on behalf of the Owner Trustee, at each office or agency to be
maintained for the purpose as provided in Section 3.02 a Register or Registers
on which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, it will
register, and will register the transfer of, Certificates as provided in this
Article. Such Register shall be in written form in the English language or in
any other form capable of being converted into such form within a reasonable
time.
Upon due presentation for registration of transfer of any Certificate at
any such office or agency, the Owner Trustee shall execute and the Indenture
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or
transferees a new Certificate or Certificates of the same Maturity and interest
rate and in authorized denominations for an equal aggregate principal amount.
Any Certificate or Certificates may be exchanged for a Certificate or
Certificates of the same Maturity and interest rate but in other authorized
denominations, in an equal aggregate principal amount. Certificates to be
exchanged shall be surrendered at any office or agency to be maintained by the
Indenture Trustee for the purpose as provided in Section 3.02, and the Owner
Trustee shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver
in exchange therefor the Certificate or Certificates which the Holder making the
exchange shall be entitled to receive, bearing numbers not contemporaneously or
previously outstanding.
All Certificates presented for registration of transfer, exchange,
redemption or payment shall (if so required by the Owner Trustee or the
Indenture Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written
instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee
and the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Holder or its attorney duly
authorized in writing and (except in the case of transfers pursuant to Section
20 of the Participation Agreement) the Indenture Trustee may require evidence
satisfactory to it as to the compliance of any such transfer with the Securities
Act.
The Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee may require payment from the
Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in connection with any exchange or registration of transfer of
Certificates. No service charge to the Holder shall be made for any such
transaction.
- 18 -
<PAGE>
The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to exchange or register a
transfer of, nor shall the Owner Trustee be required to exchange, any
Certificates (a) for a period of 15 days immediately preceding the first mailing
of notice of redemption or purchase of such Certificates or (b) with respect to
which notice of redemption or purchase has been given pursuant to Section 6.03
and such notice has not been revoked.
All Certificates issued upon any transfer or exchange of Certificates shall
be valid obligations of the Owner Trustee, evidencing the same debt, and
entitled to the same security and benefits under this Indenture, as the
Certificates surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.
SECTION 2.07. Mutilated, Defaced, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Certificates.
-----------------------------------------------------------
In case any temporary or definitive Certificate shall become mutilated, defaced
or be apparently destroyed, lost or stolen, the Owner Trustee shall, at the
written request of the Holder thereof, execute, and upon the oral or written
request of any officer of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, a new Certificate of like Maturity, payable in the
same principal amount, dated the date of such Certificate, designated as issued
under this Indenture, bearing a number not contemporaneously or previously
outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated or defaced
Certificate, or in lieu of and substitution for the Certificate so apparently
destroyed, lost or stolen. If the Certificate being replaced has been apparently
destroyed, lost or stolen, the Holder of such Certificate shall furnish to the
Owner Trustee and to the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Owner Trustee or
the Indenture Trustee such security or indemnity as may be reasonably required
by them to indemnify and defend and to save each of them harmless from issuance
of such substitute Certificate pursuant hereto (in the case of the Pass Through
Trustee, a personal agreement to indemnify shall be sufficient for this purpose)
and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to their satisfaction
of the apparent destruction, loss or theft of such Certificate and of the
ownership thereof.
Upon the issuance of any substitute Certificate, the Owner Trustee or the
Indenture Trustee may require payment from the Holder of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation
thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the reasonable fees and
expenses of the Indenture Trustee) connected therewith. In case any Certificate
which has matured or is about to mature, or has been called for redemption in
full, shall become mutilated or defaced or be apparently destroyed, lost or
stolen, the Owner Trustee may, instead of issuing a substitute Certificate, pay
or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the
case of a mutilated or defaced Certificate), if, in every case of apparent
destruction, loss or theft, the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the
Owner Trustee and to the Indenture Trustee such security or indemnity as either
of them may
- 19 -
<PAGE>
reasonably require to save each of them harmless from all risks relating to such
payment and the applicant shall also furnish to the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the apparent destruction,
loss or theft of such Certificate and of the ownership thereof.
Every substitute Certificate issued pursuant to the provisions of this
Section by virtue of the fact that any Certificate is apparently destroyed, lost
or stolen shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the
Owner Trustee, whether or not the apparently destroyed, lost or stolen
Certificate shall be enforceable at any time by anyone and shall be entitled to
all the security and benefits of (but shall be subject to all the limitations of
rights set forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all
other Certificates duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates
shall be held and owned upon the express condition that, to the extent permitted
by law, the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement
or payment of mutilated, defaced, or apparently destroyed, lost or stolen
Certificates and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies
notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary
with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other
securities without their surrender.
SECTION 2.08. Cancellation of Certificates; Destruction Thereof. All
-------------------------------------------------
Certificates surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or
exchange, if surrendered to the Indenture Trustee, or if surrendered to the
Owner Trustee or any agent of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, shall
be delivered to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation and shall be cancelled by
it; and no Certificates shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly
permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Indenture Trustee
shall destroy cancelled Certificates held by it and deliver a certificate of
destruction to the Owner Trustee. If the Owner Trustee shall acquire any of the
Certificates, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction
of the indebtedness represented by such Certificates unless and until the same
are delivered to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation.
SECTION 2.09. Temporary Certificates. Pending the preparation of
----------------------
definitive Certificates, the Owner Trustee may execute and, upon the oral or
written request of an officer of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver temporary Certificates (printed, lithographed,
typewritten or otherwise reproduced, in each case in form satisfactory to the
Indenture Trustee). Temporary Certificates shall be issuable as registered
Certificates without coupons, of any authorized denomination, and substantially
in the form of the definitive Certificates but with such omissions, insertions
and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Certificates, all as may be
determined by the Owner Trustee with the concurrence of the
- 20 -
<PAGE>
Indenture Trustee. Temporary Certificates may contain such reference to any
provisions of this Indenture as may be appropriate. Every temporary Certificate
shall be executed by the Owner Trustee and, upon the oral or written request of
an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee, be authenticated by the Indenture
Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with
like effect, as the definitive Certificates. Without unreasonable delay the
Owner Trustee shall execute and shall furnish definitive Certificates and
thereupon temporary Certificates shall be surrendered in exchange therefor
without charge at any office or agency to be maintained by the Indenture Trustee
for the purpose pursuant to Section 3.02, and, upon the oral or written request
of an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Certificates an equal
aggregate principal amount of definitive Certificates of the same Maturities and
interest rates and in authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, temporary
Certificates shall be entitled to the same security and benefits under this
Indenture as definitive Certificates.
SECTION 2.10. Termination of Interest in Indenture Estate. A Holder shall
-------------------------------------------
not, as such, have any further interest in, or other right with respect to, the
Indenture Estate when and if the principal amount of and premium, if any, and
interest on and other amounts due under all Certificates held by such Holder and
all other sums payable to such Holder hereunder shall have been paid in full.
SECTION 2.11. Certificates in Respect of Replacement Airframe or Engine.
---------------------------------------------------------
Upon the execution and delivery of a Trust Agreement and Trust Indenture
Supplement covering a Replacement Airframe and/or Replacement Engine, as
provided in Section 9.09 hereof, each Certificate shall be deemed to have been
issued in connection with such Replacement Airframe and/or Replacement Engine
and each Certificate issued thereafter upon a transfer or exchange of, or as a
replacement for, a Certificate, shall be designated as having been issued in
connection with such Replacement Airframe and/or Replacement Engine, but without
any other change therein except as provided for in this Article II.

Trustee and (ii) of the type listed in Section 24 of the Lease, which may
include securities or obligations issued by the Indenture Trustee or any of its
affiliates. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Indenture, any income
realized as a result of any such investment, net of the Indenture Trustee's
reasonable fees and expenses in making such investment, shall be held and
applied by the Indenture Trustee 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 Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any loss resulting from
any investment made by it under this Indenture in accordance with instructions
from the Lessee or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, other than by reason
of its willful misconduct or gross negligence, in
- 29 -
<PAGE>
which case the Indenture Trustee will be liable in its individual capacity only,
and any such investment may be sold (without regard to its maturity) by the
Indenture Trustee without instructions whenever the Indenture Trustee reasonably
believes such sale is necessary to make a distribution required by this
Indenture.
Unless otherwise stated in writing as set forth below, an account statement
delivered by the Indenture Trustee to the Owner Trustee (with a copy to the
Lessee) shall be deemed written confirmation by the Owner Trustee that the
investment transactions identified therein accurately reflect the investment
directions given to the Indenture Trustee by or on behalf of the Owner Trustee,
unless the Owner Trustee (or the Lessee on its behalf) notifies the Indenture
Trustee in writing to the contrary within 30 days of the date of receipt of such
statement.
SECTION 5.09. Withholding Taxes. The Indenture Trustee shall withhold any
-----------------
taxes required to be withheld on payments to any Holder who is not a United
States person except to the extent that such Holder has furnished evidence
satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee of any exemption from withholding claimed
by such Holder. Neither the Indenture Trustee nor Owner Trustee nor the Owner
Participant shall have any obligation to make any additional payment to cover
such withholding. Such withholding and failure to make any additional payment
based thereon shall not constitute an Indenture Event of Default.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in Sections 5.01 through 5.05
hereof and subject to Section 6(b) of the Participation Agreement, if the Lessee
is required to pay any such withholding tax imposed on payments made by or on
behalf of the Owner Trustee to the Indenture Trustee, or any interest or penalty
thereon, or to indemnify the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee with respect
thereto pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Participation Agreement, the Lessee
shall, after such payment or reimbursement by it, have a claim against any
Holder who was subject to such withholding tax for the amount of such
withholding tax. After such payment or reimbursement by it, the Lessee shall be
entitled to receive, and the Indenture Trustee shall hold for the account of the
Lessee, any payments otherwise distributable to the Holder who was subject to
such withholding tax pursuant to Sections 5.01 through 5.05 hereof until the
foregoing amounts (to the extent recoverable from such Holder pursuant to the
express provisions of Section 6(b) of the Participation Agreement) (the
"Recoverable Amounts") shall have been recovered in full by the Lessee. In no
event will the recoupment described in the preceding sentence result in a
reduction in payments otherwise distributable to such Holder by more than the
Recoverable Amounts.

SECTION 7.02. Remedies. (a) If an Indenture Event of Default shall
--------
have occurred and be continuing, then and in every such case, the Indenture
Trustee may, and when required by the provisions of Article IX or Section
7.02(c) hereof, shall, (i) exercise any or all of the rights and powers and
pursue any or all of the remedies pursuant to this Article VII and (ii) in the
event such Indenture Event of Default is an Indenture Event of Default referred
to in paragraph (a) of Section 7.01 hereof, but subject to the provisions of
Section 8.03 hereof, and after the expiration of ten days from the time the
Indenture Trustee notifies the Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant that it
intends to exercise its remedies (including acceleration of the Certificates)
hereunder, exercise any or all of the remedies pursuant to Section 15 of the
Lease, and the Indenture Trustee may take possession of all or any part of the
properties covered or intended to be covered by the Lien and security interest
created hereby or pursuant hereto and may exclude the Owner Participant, the
Owner Trustee and the Lessee and all persons claiming under any of them wholly
or partly therefrom. In addition, the Indenture Trustee may exercise any
- 36 -
<PAGE>
other right or remedy in lieu of or in addition to the foregoing that may be
available to it under applicable law, or proceed by appropriate court action to
enforce the terms hereof, of the Lease, or both, or to terminate or rescind the
Lease. Without limiting any of the foregoing, but subject to any conditions
provided for herein or under applicable law, it is understood and agreed that
the Indenture Trustee may exercise any right of sale of the Aircraft available
to it, even though it shall not have taken possession of the Aircraft and shall
not have possession thereof at the time of such sale. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Indenture Trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any remedy
hereunder as a result of an Indenture Event of Default occurring solely by
reason of one or more Lease Events of Default unless the Indenture Trustee shall
have declared the Lease to be in default in accordance with Section 15 thereof
and shall be attempting in good faith to exercise one or more of the remedies
referred to in Section 15 of the Lease; provided, however, that such requirement
------------------
to attempt in good faith to exercise one or more of such remedies under the
Lease shall not apply in circumstances where the Indenture Trustee is, and has
been for a continuous period in excess of 60 days or such other period as may be
specified in Section 1110(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code (such 60-day or other
period being the "Section 1110 Period"), involuntarily stayed or prohibited by
applicable law or court order from exercising such remedies under the Lease (a
"Continuous Stay Period"); provided, further, however, that the requirement to
attempt in good faith to exercise one or more of such remedies under the Lease
shall nonetheless be applicable during a Continuous Stay Period subsequent to
the expiration of the Section 1110 Period to the extent that the continuation of
such Continuous Stay Period subsequent to the expiration of the Section 1110
Period (A) results from an agreement by the Lessee during the Section 1110
Period with the approval of the relevant court to perform the Lease in
accordance with Section 1110(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or (B) is an extension of
the Section 1110 Period with the consent of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to
Section 1110(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or (C) results from the Lessee's
assumption during the Section 1110 Period with the approval of the relevant
court of the Lease pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code or (D) is the
consequence of the Indenture Trustee's own failure to give any requisite notice
to any Person or (E) is pursuant to a judicial stay pending the resolution of
litigation with respect to the applicability of Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy
Code and there is either no Lease Event of Default other than one arising solely
from the Lessee's bankruptcy or any such other Lease Event of Default has been
cured; provided, further, however, that the requirement to attempt in good faith
--------- -------- --------
to exercise one or more of such remedies under the Lease during a Continuous
Stay Period subsequent to the expiration of the Section 1110 Period based upon a
judicial stay as provided for in this clause (E) shall in any event cease to be
applicable subsequent to the 120th day of such Continuous Stay Period; it being
understood and agreed that the Indenture Trustee may take such action and
commence such processes as it may determine are necessary or advisable to
foreclose on the
- 37 -
<PAGE>
Lien of this Indenture but all such actions and processes shall, during such
period, not be completed to effect a foreclosure. If the Indenture Trustee shall
acquire the Aircraft pursuant to a foreclosure under this Indenture while such
stay is still in effect and consummates a resale of the Aircraft within six
months of such acquisition, the net proceeds from such resale in excess of the
amounts owed to the Holders of the Certificates will be paid to the Owner
Trustee.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 7.02(c) hereof, if an Indenture Event of
Default referred to in clause (g), (h) or (i) of Section 7.01 hereof shall have
occurred, or a Lease Event of Default referred to in clause (f), (g) or (h) of
Section 14 of the Lease shall have occurred, then and in every such case the
unpaid principal of all Outstanding Certificates, together with interest accrued
but unpaid thereon and all other amounts due thereunder and hereunder, but
without premium, shall immediately and without further act become due and
payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice, all of which are hereby
waived.
(c) If any Indenture Event of Default not described in the preceding
paragraph (b) shall have occurred and be continuing, then and in every such
case, the Indenture Trustee may on its own accord or at the direction of Holders
of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Certificates,
at any time, by written notice or notices to the Owner Trustee and the Lessee,
declare the principal of all the Certificates to be due and payable, whereupon
the unpaid principal of all Outstanding Certificates, together with accrued but
unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts due thereunder, but without
premium (except to the extent a premium was theretofore payable by virtue of
Section 6.02(B), 6.02(C) (with respect to Section 8.02(a)(i)), 6.02(D) or
6.02(E)), shall immediately become due and payable without presentment, demand,
protest or other notice, all of which are hereby waived. At any time after such
declaration and prior to the sale or disposition of the Indenture Estate,
however, a Majority in Interest of Certificate Holders, by notice to the
Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Lessee, may rescind such
declaration, whether made by the Indenture Trustee on its own accord or as
directed, if (x) there has been paid or deposited with the Indenture Trustee a
sum sufficient to pay all overdue installments of interest on all Certificates
(together, to the extent permitted by law, with interest on such overdue
installments of interest), the principal on any Certificates that has become due
otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, all sums paid or advanced by
the Indenture Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee, its agents and counsel, or
(y) all Indenture Events of Default (other than the nonpayment of principal that
has become due solely because of such acceleration) have been either cured or
waived as provided in Section 7.11. No such rescission shall affect any
subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.
- 38 -
<PAGE>
(d) Each Holder shall be entitled, at any sale pursuant to Section 15
of the Lease, to a credit against any purchase price bid at such sale by such
Holder for all or any part of the unpaid obligations owing to such Holder and
secured by the Lien of this Indenture.
SECTION 7.03. Return of Aircraft, etc. Subject to Section 7.02: (a)
------------------------
If an Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at the
request of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee shall promptly execute and
deliver to the Indenture Trustee such instruments of title and other documents
as the Indenture Trustee may deem necessary or advisable to enable the Indenture
Trustee or an agent or representative designated by the Indenture Trustee, at
such time or times and place or places as the Indenture Trustee may specify, to
obtain possession of all or any part of the Indenture Estate to which the
Indenture Trustee shall at the time be entitled hereunder. If the Owner Trustee
shall for any reason fail to execute and deliver such instruments and documents
after such request by the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee may (i)
obtain a judgment conferring on the Indenture Trustee the right to immediate
possession and requiring the Owner Trustee to execute and deliver such
instruments and documents to the Indenture Trustee, to the entry of which
judgment the Owner Trustee hereby specifically consents, and (ii) pursue all or
part of the Indenture Estate wherever such Indenture Estate may be found and
may, in the name of the Owner Trustee or otherwise, enter any of the premises of
the Lessee and search for and take possession of and remove the Indenture
Estate. 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
Indenture.
(b) Upon every such taking of possession or title, the Indenture
Trustee may, from time to time, at the expense of the Indenture Estate, make all
such expenditures for maintenance, insurance, repairs, replacements,
alterations, additions and improvements to and of the Indenture Estate, as it
may deem proper. In each such case, the Indenture Trustee shall have the right
to maintain, use, operate, store, lease, control or manage the Indenture Estate
and to carry on the business and, without limiting the express provisions of
Section 8.01 hereof, to exercise all rights and powers of the Owner Participant
and the Owner Trustee relating to the Indenture Estate, as the Indenture Trustee
shall deem necessary or appropriate, including the right to enter into any and
all such agreements with respect to the maintenance, insurance, use, operation,
storage, leasing, control, management or disposition of the Indenture Estate or
any part thereof as the Indenture Trustee may determine; and, except for
Excepted Payments (other than Excepted Payments payable to the Indenture
Trustee), the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to collect and receive
directly all rents (including Rent), revenues, issues, income, products and
profits of the Indenture Estate and every part thereof without prejudice to the
right of the Indenture Trustee under any provision hereof to collect and receive
all cash
- 39 -
<PAGE>
held by, or required to be deposited with, the Indenture Trustee hereunder. Such
rents (including Rent), revenues, issues, income, products and profits shall be
applied to pay the expenses of the use, operation, storage, leasing, control,
management or disposition of the Indenture Estate and of conducting the business
thereof, and of all maintenance, repairs, replacements, alterations, additions
and improvements, and to make all payments which the Indenture Trustee may be
required or may elect to make, if any, for taxes, assessments, insurance or
other proper charges upon the Indenture Estate 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 Trustee), and all other
payments which the Indenture Trustee may be required or authorized to make under
any provision of this Indenture, as well as just and reasonable compensation for
the services of the Indenture Trustee, and of all persons properly engaged and
employed by the Indenture Trustee.
(c) If an Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to exercise remedies
hereunder, and subject to Article VIII hereof, the Indenture Trustee, either
with or without taking possession, and either before or after taking possession,
and without instituting any legal proceedings whatsoever, may sell, assign,
transfer and deliver the whole or, from time to time, to the extent permitted by
law, any part of the Indenture Estate, or any part thereof, or interest therein,
at any private sale or public auction, with or without demand, advertisement or
notice, except as expressly provided for below in this Section 7.03(c), for cash
or credit or for other property, for immediate or future delivery, and for such
price or prices and on such terms as the Indenture Trustee in its sole
discretion may determine; provided, that any such action shall be at the time
--------
lawful and that all mandatory legal requirements shall be complied with. The
Indenture Trustee shall give the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant and the
Lessee at least 20 days' notice of any public or private sale. Such notice, in
the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place fixed for such sale.
Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary
business hours as the Indenture Trustee shall fix in the notice of such sale. At
any such sale, the Indenture Estate may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in
separate lots. The Indenture Trustee shall not be obligated to make any sale
pursuant to such notice. The Indenture Trustee may, without notice or
publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be
adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for such
sale, and any such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may
be so adjourned without further notice or publication; provided however, that if
-----------------
more than 3 months have elapsed since the most recent notice of any such sale,
the Indenture Trustee shall adjourn such sale and the Indenture Trustee shall
give notice to the Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant of the time and place
fixed for the next subsequent sale at least 10 days prior thereto. The Indenture
Trustee may
- 40 -
<PAGE>
exercise such right of sale without possession or production of the Certificates
or proof of ownership thereof, and as representative of the Holders may exercise
such right without notice to the Holders or without including the Holders as
parties to any suit or proceedings relating to the foreclosure of any part of
the Indenture Estate. The Owner Trustee shall execute any and all such bills of
sale, assignments and other documents, and perform and do all other acts and
things requested by the Indenture Trustee in order to permit consummation of any
sale of the Indenture Estate in accordance with this Section 7.03(c) and to
effectuate the transfer or conveyance referred to in the first sentence of this
Section 7.03(c). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the
Indenture Trustee shall not sell the Indenture Estate or any part thereof unless
the Certificates shall have been accelerated or shall have matured.
(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Indenture Trustee
or any Holder may be a purchaser of the Indenture Estate or any part thereof or
any interest therein at any sale thereof, whether pursuant to foreclosure or
power of sale or otherwise. The Indenture Trustee may apply against the purchase
price therefor the amount then due hereunder or under any of the Certificates
secured hereby and any Holder may apply against the purchase price therefor the
amount then due to it hereunder, under any other Indenture Document or under the
Certificates held by such Holder to the extent that such portion of the purchase
price as it would have received had it been entitled to share any distribution
thereof. The Indenture Trustee or any Holder or nominee thereof shall, upon any
such purchase, acquire good title to the property so purchased, free of the Lien
of this Indenture and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, free of all
rights of redemption in the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant in respect of
the property so purchased.
(e) Subject to Article VIII hereof and if an Indenture Event of
Default is continuing, the Owner Trustee hereby irrevocably appoints and
constitutes the Indenture Trustee the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the
Owner Trustee in its name and stead and on its behalf, for the purpose of
effectuating any sale, assignment, transfer or delivery for the enforcement of
the Lien of this Indenture, whether pursuant to foreclosure or power of sale or
otherwise, to execute and deliver all such bills of sale, assignments and other
instruments as the Indenture Trustee may consider necessary or appropriate, with
full power of substitution, and Owner Trustee hereby ratifies and confirms all
that such attorney or any substitute shall lawfully do by virtue hereof.
Nevertheless, if so requested by the Indenture Trustee or any purchaser, the
Owner Trustee shall ratify and confirm any such sale, assignment, transfer or
delivery, by executing and delivering to the Indenture Trustee or such purchaser
all bills of sale, assignments, releases and other proper instruments to effect
such ratification and confirmation as may be designated in any such request.

(f) The Indenture Trustee shall, as a matter of right, be entitled to
the appointment of a receiver (who may be the Indenture Trustee or any successor
or nominee) for all or any part of the Indenture Estate, whether such
receivership be incidental to a proposed sale of the Indenture Estate or the
taking of possession thereof or otherwise, and the Owner Trustee hereby consents
to the appointment of such receiver and will not oppose any such appointment.
Any receiver appointed for all or any part of the Indenture Estate shall be
entitled to exercise all of the rights and powers of the Indenture Trustee with
respect to the Indenture Estate.
(g) Any sale of the Indenture Estate or any part thereof or any
interest therein, whether pursuant to foreclosure or power of sale or otherwise
hereunder, shall be a perpetual bar against the Owner Trustee after the
expiration of the period, if any, during which the Owner Trustee shall have the
benefit of redemption laws which may not be waived pursuant to Section 7.13
hereof.
SECTION 7.04. Indenture Trustee May Prove Debt. If the Owner Trustee
--------------------------------
shall fail to pay any amount payable hereunder or under the Certificates, the
Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be
entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in
equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any
such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such
judgment or final decree against the Owner Trustee and collect in the manner
provided by law out of the property of the Owner Trustee wherever situated, the
moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable; provided, that any sale of any portion
---------
of the Indenture Estate shall be done in accordance with Section 7.03(c).
In case there shall be pending proceedings relative to the Trust Estate or
the Owner Trustee under the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable Federal or
state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or in case a receiver,
assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or
similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Trust
Estate or the Owner Trustee or its property, or in case of any other comparable
judicial proceedings relative to the Trust Estate or the Owner Trustee, or to
the creditors or property of the Trust Estate or the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of the Certificates
shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or
otherwise and irrespective of whether the Indenture Trustee shall have made any
demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section, shall be entitled and
empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise:
(a) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of
principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Certificates, and
to file such other papers or
- 42 -
<PAGE>
documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of
the Indenture Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation to
the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, and their
respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of the
Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, except as a
result of negligence or bad faith) and of the Holders allowed in any
judicial proceedings relative to the Owner Trustee or to the creditors or
property of the Owner Trustee,
(b) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on
behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee or a standby trustee in
arrangement, reorganization, liquidation or other bankruptcy or insolvency
proceedings or person performing similar functions in comparable
proceedings, and
(c) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute all amounts received with
respect to the claims of the Holders and of the Indenture Trustee on their
behalf;
and any trustee, receiver, or liquidator, custodian or other similar official is
hereby authorized by each of the Holders to make payments to the Indenture
Trustee, and, in the event that the Indenture Trustee shall consent to the
making of payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Indenture Trustee such
amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Indenture
Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents,
attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all
advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee
except as a result of negligence or bad faith.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Indenture Trustee
to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any
Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition
affecting the Certificates or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize
the Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such
proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in
bankruptcy or similar person.
All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under
any of the Certificates, may be prosecuted and enforced by the Indenture Trustee
without the possession of any of the Certificates or the production thereof in
any trial or other proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or
proceedings instituted by the Indenture Trustee shall be brought in its own name
as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the
payment of the expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Indenture
Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents and
attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders.
- 43 -
<PAGE>
In any proceedings brought by the Indenture Trustee (and also any
proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to
which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party) the Indenture Trustee shall be
held to represent all the Holders of the Certificates, and it shall not be
necessary to make any Holders parties to any such proceedings.
SECTION 7.05. Remedies Cumulative. Each and every right, power and remedy
-------------------
given to the Indenture Trustee or Holders specifically or otherwise in this
Indenture shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right,
power and remedy specifically given herein or now or hereafter existing at law,
in equity or by statute, and each and every right, power and remedy whether
specifically given herein or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to
time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Indenture
Trustee or the Holders, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any
power or remedy shall not constitute or 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 Indenture Trustee or of any Holder 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 Trustee, the Owner Participant or the Lessee or to be an
acquiescence therein.
SECTION 7.06. Suits for Enforcement. If an Indenture Event of Default has
---------------------
occurred, has not been waived and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may in
its discretion and subject to its rights of appropriate indemnification under
Sections 7.08 and 9.03 and Article XI hereof proceed to protect and enforce its
rights and rights of the Holders by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the
Indenture Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such
rights, either at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for
the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this
Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture or to
enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Indenture Trustee or
the Holders by this Indenture or by law; provided, that any sale of any portion
--------
of the Indenture Estate shall be done in accordance with Section 7.03(c).
SECTION 7.07. Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case the Indenture
-----------------------------
Trustee or any Holder shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right,
power or remedy under this Indenture by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and
such proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or
shall have been finally determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee or such
Holder, then and in every such case the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee,
the Holders and the Lessee shall, subject to any such determination in such
proceeding, be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with
respect to the Indenture Estate, and all rights, remedies and powers of the
- 44 -
<PAGE>
Indenture Trustee and the Holders shall continue as if no such proceeding had
been instituted.
SECTION 7.08. Limitations on Suits by Holders. No Holder of any
-------------------------------
Certificate shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of
this Indenture to institute any action or proceeding at law or in equity or in
bankruptcy or otherwise upon or under or with respect to this Indenture, or for
the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar
official or for any other remedy hereunder, unless such Holder previously shall
have given to the Indenture Trustee written notice of an Indenture Default and
of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and the Holders of not
less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Certificates shall
have made written request upon the Indenture Trustee to institute such action or
proceedings in its own name or as trustee hereunder and shall have offered to
the Indenture Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the
costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby and the
Indenture Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and
offer of indemnity shall have failed to institute any such action or proceedings
and no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to
the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 7.10; it being understood and
intended, and being expressly covenanted by the Holder of each Certificate with
every other Holder of each other Certificate and the Indenture Trustee, that no
one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever to affect,
disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holder or the Lien of this
Indenture or any part of the Indenture Estate or to obtain or seek to obtain
priority over or preference to any other such Holder or to enforce any right
under this Indenture, except in the manner provided herein and for the equal,
ratable and common benefit of all Holders. For the protection and enforcement of
the provisions of this Section, each and every Holder and the Indenture Trustee
shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.
SECTION 7.09. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal,
----------------------------------------------------
Interest and Premium, and to Institute Certain Suits. Notwithstanding any other
- ----------------------------------------------------
provision in this Indenture and any provision of any Certificate, the right of
any Holder to receive payment of the principal of and interest and premium (if
any) on such Certificate on or after the respective due dates and in the manner
expressed in such Certificate, or, subject to Section 7.08, to institute suit
for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates as
provided herein, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such
Holder.
SECTION 7.10. Control by Holders. A Majority in Interest of Certificate
------------------
Holders shall have the right to direct the Indenture Trustee as to the time,
method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Indenture Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture
Trustee by this Indenture; provided that such direction shall not be
--------
- 45 -
<PAGE>
otherwise than in accordance with law and the provisions of this Indenture and
the Indenture Trustee shall have received, to the extent provided in Sections
7.08 and 9.03 and Article XI hereof, such reasonable indemnification as it may
require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred by the
Indenture Trustee and provided further that (subject to the provisions of
----------------
Section 9.02) the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow
any such direction if the Indenture Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall
determine that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or
if the Indenture Trustee in good faith by its board of directors, the executive
committee, or a trust committee of directors or Responsible Officers of the
Indenture Trustee shall determine that the action or proceedings so directed
would impose upon the Indenture Trustee personal liability or if the Indenture
Trustee in good faith shall so determine that the actions or forbearances
specified in or pursuant to such direction shall be unduly prejudicial to the
interests of Holders not joining in the giving of said direction, it being
understood that (subject to Section 9.02) the Indenture Trustee shall have no
duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly
prejudicial to such Holders.
Nothing in this Indenture shall impair the right of the Indenture Trustee
in its discretion to take any action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee and
which is not inconsistent with such direction by Holders.
SECTION 7.11. Waiver of Past Indenture Defaults. Upon written
---------------------------------
instructions from a Majority in Interest of Certificate Holders, the Indenture
Trustee shall waive any past Indenture Default and its consequences and upon any
such waiver such Indenture Default shall cease to exist and any Indenture
Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose
of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other
Indenture Default or impair any right consequent thereon; provided, however,
------------------
that in the absence of written instructions from all Holders, the Indenture
Trustee shall not waive any Indenture Default (i) in the payment of the
principal of, or premium (if any) or interest on, or other amounts due under,
any Certificate then Outstanding, or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision
hereof which, under Article XIII hereof, cannot be modified or amended without
the consent of each Holder and provided, further, that the Indenture Trustee
------------------
shall not waive any Indenture Default to the extent arising under Section
7.01(a) hereof because of the failure of the Lessee to pay any Excepted Payments
without the consent of the Owner Participant, or in the case of an Excepted
Payment owing to the Trust Company or the Indenture Trustee such party, and
shall waive any such Indenture Default upon the express written instructions of
the Owner Participant, or in the case of an Excepted Payment owing to the Trust
Company or the Indenture Trustee, such party, unless the Indenture Trustee or
the Holders would be adversely affected by such waiver.
- 46 -
<PAGE>
SECTION 7.12. Notice of Indenture Defaults. The Indenture Trustee shall
----------------------------
transmit to the Owner Trustee, the Holders and to the Owner Participant notice
of all Indenture Defaults actually known to a Responsible Officer of the
Indenture Trustee, such notice to be transmitted by mail to the Holders within
90 days, and to the Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant promptly (within one
Business Day after a failure to pay Basic Rent), after the occurrence thereof,
unless such Indenture Default shall have been cured before the giving of such
notice; provided that under no circumstances shall the Indenture Trustee give
--------
such notice to the Holders until the earlier of the time at which such Indenture
Default becomes an Indenture Event of Default or the expiration of a period of
60 days from the occurrence of such Indenture Default; and provided further
----------------
that, except in the case of default in the payment of the principal of or
interest on or any other amount due under any of the Certificates, the Indenture
Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice to the Holders if and so
long as the board of directors, the executive committee, or a trust committee of
directors or trustees and/or Responsible Officers of the Indenture Trustee in
good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of
the Holders.
SECTION 7.13. Waiver of Appraisement, etc.; Laws. The Owner Trustee
----------------------------------
covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any
time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the
benefit or advantage of, any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or
redemption law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, in order
to prevent or hinder the enforcement of this Indenture or the execution of any
power granted herein to the Indenture Trustee, or the absolute sale of the
Indenture Estate, or any part thereof, or the possession thereof by any
purchaser at any sale under this Article VII; and the Owner Trustee for itself
and all who may claim under it, so far as it or any of them now or hereafter
lawfully may, hereby waives the benefit of all such laws. The Owner Trustee for
itself and all who may claim under it waives, to the extent that it lawfully
may, all right to have the property in the Indenture Estate marshalled upon any
foreclosure hereof, and agrees that any court having jurisdiction to foreclose
this Indenture may order the sale of the Indenture Estate as an entirety.
If any law referred to in this Section 7.13 and now in force, of which the
Owner Trustee or its successors might take advantage despite this Section 7.13,
shall hereafter be repealed or cease to be in force, such law shall not
thereafter be deemed to constitute any part of the contract herein contained or
to preclude the application of this Section 7.13.

or timing of any amounts payable by the Lessee under the Lease (as such
Lease may have been modified with the consent of the Owner Trustee) which
amounts, absent the occurrence and continuance of an Indenture Event of
Default, will be distributable to the Owner Trustee hereunder).
SECTION 8.02. Owner Participant's Right to Elect to Redeem or Purchase the
------------------------------------------------------------
Certificates, and to Provide for Payment. (a) If at any time after a Lease
- ----------------------------------------
Event of Default has occurred and has continued for a period of (i) not more
than 180 days or (ii) at least 180 days, and provided that (A) no Indenture
Event of Default (that does not arise out of a Lease Event of Default) has
occurred and is continuing and (B) the Certificates shall not have become due
and payable as provided in Section 7.02(b) or 7.02(c) hereof, the Owner
Participant may, but shall be under no obligation to, direct the Owner Trustee
to cause the redemption or
- 49 -
<PAGE>
purchase of all but not less than all of the Certificates then Outstanding by
notifying the Indenture Trustee of such election, which notice in order to be
effective shall state that it is irrevocable and shall designate the Redemption
Date on which the Owner Trustee shall, in the manner provided for in Section
6.04 hereof, deposit with the Indenture Trustee the sum of the amounts
contemplated by paragraph "first" under Section 5.03 plus (x) in the case of a
-------
redemption or purchase pursuant to clause (a)(i) above the aggregate Redemption

Indenture Trustee shall promptly notify each Holder of an Outstanding
Certificate of such payment. In the event of a redemption, (i) the Certificates
shall cease to accrue interest after the later of (1) such payment by the Owner
Trustee to the Indenture Trustee and (2) the Redemption Date; and (ii) after
distribution of such payment to the Holders, the Indenture Trustee shall release
the Indenture Estate from the Lien of this Indenture.
(c) In the event of a redemption, from and after the payment by the

be liable to the Owner Trustee or Owner Participant

as a result of such purchase except to the extent such Holder would have been
liable if such purchase had been a redemption.
SECTION 8.03. Certain Rights of Owner Participant. If the Lessee shall
-----------------------------------
fail to make any payment of Basic Rent under the Lease within ten Business Days
after the same shall become due, and if such failure of the Lessee to make such
payment of Basic Rent shall not constitute the fourth or subsequent consecutive
such failure or the seventh or subsequent cumulative such failure, then as long
as no Indenture Event of Default (other than arising from such failure to pay
Basic Rent or any other Lease Event of Default) shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee may (but need not) pay to
the Indenture Trustee, at any time prior to the expiration of a period of 15
days after the expiration of ten Business Days after notice from the Indenture
Trustee to the Owner Trustee of such failure of Lessee to make payment of Basic
Rent (the "15-Day Period") (prior to the expiration of which 15-Day Period the
Indenture Trustee shall not declare the Lease in default pursuant to Section 15
thereof or exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies pursuant to such
Section 15 or Article VII hereof based solely on such failure to pay Basic
Rent), an amount equal to the full amount of such payment of Basic Rent,
together with any interest due thereon on account of the delayed payment
thereof, and such payment by the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee shall be
deemed to cure any Indenture Event of Default which arose solely from such
failure of the Lessee to make a payment of Basic Rent (including the failure of
Lessee to pay such interest in respect of the delayed payment of Basic Rent from
and after the date the cure payment is made) (but such cure shall not relieve
the Lessee of any of its obligations). If the Lessee shall fail to perform or
observe any other covenant, condition or agreement to be performed or observed
by it under the Lease, and if (but only if) the performance or observance
thereof can be effected by the payment of money alone (it being understood that
actions such as the obtaining of insurance and the procurement of maintenance
services can be so effected), then as long as no other Indenture Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing (other than arising solely from
such failure by the Lessee which is being cured hereunder or from any other
Lease Event of Default), the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee may (but
need not) pay to the Indenture Trustee (or to such other person as may be
entitled to receive the same), at any time prior to the expiration of a period
of 15 days after (i) in the case of a Lease Event of Default the grace period
for which was commenced by notice from the Holders or the Indenture Trustee,
receipt by the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant of notice of such Lease
Event of Default, and (ii) in the case of any other Lease Event of Default, the
expiration of the grace period, if any, provided with respect to such failure on
the part of the Lessee in Section 14 of the Lease (prior to the expiration of
which 15-day period or, in the case of a Recently Cured Default (as defined
below), a five Business Day period in lieu thereof, the Indenture Trustee shall
not declare the Lease in default pursuant to Section 15 thereof or exercise any
of the rights,
- 51 -
<PAGE>
powers or remedies pursuant to such Section 15 or Article VII hereof based
solely on such failure by the Lessee), all sums necessary to effect the
performance or observance of such covenant or agreement of the Lessee, together
with any interest due thereon on account of the delayed payment thereof, and
such payment by the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to
cure any Indenture Event of Default which arose solely from such failure of the
Lessee (but such cure shall not relieve the Lessee of any of its obligations);
provided, however, that if the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant cures a
- ------------------
Lease Default or Lease Event of Default under Section 14(d) or 14(i) of the
Lease at any time prior to the earliest of any of a termination of the Lease, a
payment to the Indenture Trustee of any amount in excess of the amount then
overdue with respect to the Certificates (other than as a result of
acceleration) and a sale of any part of the Indenture Estate pursuant to Article
VII hereof, then upon such cure, if no other Indenture Event of Default shall be
continuing, any acceleration of the Certificates pursuant to Section 7.02(b) or
(c) hereof based solely on such cured Lease Default or Lease Event of Default
shall be automatically rescinded; provided, further, that the Indenture Trustee
agrees that it shall give the Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant not less
than 10 days notice prior to termination of the Lease following acceleration
where the immediately preceding proviso would otherwise be in effect. Upon any
payment of Basic Rent by the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee in
accordance with the first sentence of this Section 8.03, or upon any payment of
any other sums by the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee in accordance with
the second sentence of this Section 8.03, the Owner Participant or the Owner
Trustee shall, to the extent of their respective payments, be subrogated, in the
case of any such payment in accordance with such first sentence, to the rights
of the Indenture Trustee, as assignee hereunder of the Owner Trustee, or, in the
case of any such payment in accordance with such second sentence, to the rights
of the Indenture Trustee or such other person, as the case may be, which
actually received such payment, to receive such payment of Basic Rent or such
other payment, as the case may be (and any interest due thereon on account of
the delayed payment thereof), and shall be entitled to receive such payment upon
its receipt by the Indenture Trustee or such other person, as aforesaid (but in
each case only after all amounts of principal of, premium, if any, and interest
at the time due and payable on, or with respect to, the Certificates, together
with interest thereon on account of the delayed payment thereof shall have been
paid in full); provided that neither the Owner Participant nor the Owner Trustee
--------
shall attempt to recover any such amount paid by it on behalf of the Lessee
pursuant to this Section 8.03 except (i) by demanding of the Lessee payment of
such amount, (ii) by commencing an action against the Lessee to require the
payment of such amount pursuant to Section 15(e), but only said Section 15(e),
of the Lease or (iii) by realizing on a security interest in assets of the
Lessee (the fair market value of the security interest in such assets not to
exceed 110% of the amount so paid) to secure Lessee's reimbursement obligation
of such payment or by
- 52 -
<PAGE>
commencing an action at law and obtaining and enforcing a judgment against the
Lessee for the payment of such amount; and provided further that at no time
----------------
while an Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing shall
any such demand be made or shall any such action be commenced (or continued) or
any collateral security taken be realized upon, and any amounts nevertheless
received by the Owner Trustee or Owner Participant in respect thereof shall be
held in trust for the benefit of, and promptly paid to, the Indenture Trustee
for distribution as provided in Section 5.03 hereof. A "Recently Cured Failure"
means any failure by the Lessee which constitutes a Lease Event of Default under
Section 14(d) or 14(i) of the Lease if (i) within the preceding 12 month period
there shall have occurred a Lease Event of Default under the same Section of the
Lease and (ii) such Lease Event of Default referred to in clause (i) was cured
by the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee later than during the 15-Day
period (or 5 Business Day period, as the case may be) after such failure became
a Lease Event of Default, which cure has lapsed without the Lessee then
performing its obligation to which the cured failure related.

--------------------
the trusts imposed upon it by this Indenture, and covenants and agrees to
perform the same as expressed herein and agrees to receive and disburse all
moneys constituting part of the Indenture Estate in accordance with the terms
hereof.
SECTION 9.02. Duties and Responsibilities of the Indenture Trustee; During
------------------------------------------------------------
an Indenture Default; Prior to an Indenture Default. (a) The Indenture Trustee,
- ---------------------------------------------------
prior to the occurrence of an Indenture Event of Default and after the curing or
waiving of all Indenture Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes
to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in
this Indenture. In case an Indenture Event of Default has occurred (which has
not been cured or waived) the Indenture Trustee shall exercise such of the
rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of
care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use
under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.
No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Indenture
Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure
to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:
(i) prior to the occurrence of an Indenture Event of Default and
after the curing or waiving of all Indenture Events of Default which may
have occurred:
- 53 -
<PAGE>
(x) the duties and obligations of the Indenture Trustee shall be
determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the
Indenture Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of
such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this
Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into
this Indenture against the Indenture Trustee; and
(y) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Indenture
Trustee, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth
of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed
therein, upon any statements, certificates or opinions furnished to
the Indenture Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this
Indenture; but in the case of any such statements, certificates or
opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be
furnished to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall be
under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they
conform to the requirements of this Indenture;
(ii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any error of
judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible
Officers of the Indenture Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the
Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and
(iii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any
action taken or not taken by it in good faith in accordance with the
direction of a Majority in Interest of Certificate Holders relating to the
time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Indenture Trustee, or exercising any trust or power
conferred upon the Indenture Trustee, under this Indenture.
None of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the
Indenture Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal
financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise
of any of its rights or powers, if the Indenture Trustee shall have determined
in good faith that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against
such liability is not reasonably assured to it.
The Indenture Trustee will execute and the Owner Trustee will file or cause
to be filed such continuation statements with respect to financing statements
relating to the security interest created hereunder in the Indenture Estate as
may be specified from time to time in written instructions of the Holders of not
less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Certificates (which
instructions may, by their terms, be operative only at a future date and which
shall be accompanied by the execution form of such continuation statement so to
be filed); provided that,
--------
- 54 -
<PAGE>
notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indenture Trustee may execute and file or
cause to be filed any financing statement which it from time to time deems
appropriate.
(b) If any Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
and Section 8.03 hereof shall either not apply or shall have ceased to apply
with respect thereto, on request of the Holders of not less than 25% in
aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Certificates and subject to
indemnification, to the extent provided in Sections 7.08 and 9.03 and Article XI
hereof, as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be
incurred, the Indenture Trustee shall exercise such remedies under Section 15 of
the Lease as shall be specified in such request.
(c) The Indenture Trustee agrees that it will, in its individual capacity
and at its own cost and expense (but without any right of indemnity in respect
of any such cost or expense under Article XI hereof) promptly take such action
as may be necessary to duly discharge all Liens on any part of the Indenture
Estate which result from claims against it in its individual capacity not
related to the administration of the Indenture Estate or any other transaction
pursuant to this Indenture or any document included in the Indenture Estate.
(d) The Indenture Trustee will execute and deliver to the Lessee for
filing in accordance with Section 18 of the Lease any properly presented
document, instrument or financing or continuation statement specified in any
opinion delivered pursuant to Section 12 of the Participation Agreement. The
Indenture Trustee may rely on the act of presentation of any such document,
instrument, financing or continuation statement as evidencing the fact that it
is properly prepared and presented, provided that the Indenture Trustee shall
--------
promptly correct any error in any such document, instrument, financing or
continuation statement of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee
has actual knowledge.

liabilities which might be incurred therein or thereby;

omitted by it without gross negligence and in good faith and believed by it
to be authorized or within the discretion, rights or powers conferred upon
it by this Indenture;

hereunder and after the curing or waiving of all Indenture Events of

instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval,
appraisal, bond, debenture, note, coupon, security, or other paper or
document unless requested in writing to do so by a Majority in Interest of
Certificate Holders; provided that, if the payment within a reasonable time
--------
to the Indenture Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be
incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of
the Indenture Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Indenture Trustee by
the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the Indenture
Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expenses or
liabilities as a condition to proceeding; the reasonable expenses of every
such examination shall be paid by the Owner Trustee or, if paid by the
Indenture Trustee or any predecessor trustee, shall be repaid by the Owner
Trustee upon demand; and
(g) the Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through

liability for interest on any moneys received by it hereunder.

trusts of this Indenture the Indenture Trustee shall deem it necessary or
desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering or
omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect
thereof be specifically prescribed herein) may, in the absence of bad faith on
the part of the Indenture Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and
established by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and
such certificate, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Indenture
Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Indenture Trustee for any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith
thereof.

CONCERNING THE HOLDERS
SECTION 10.01. Evidence of Action Taken by Holders. (a) Any
-----------------------------------
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be
embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar
tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing,
and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, such action shall become
effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Indenture
Trustee and, if expressly required herein, to the Owner
- 61 -
<PAGE>
Trustee. Proof of execution of any instrument or of a writing appointing any
such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to
Sections 9.02 and 9.03) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the
Owner Trustee, if made in the manner provided in this Article.
(b) For the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to vote or
consent to any direction, waiver or other action of such Holders under Section
7.11 or 7.12, the Indenture Trustee may set a record date for such vote or
consent. Such record date shall be a date not more than 15 days prior to the
first solicitation of such vote or consent.
SECTION 10.02. Proof of Execution of Instruments and of Holding of
---------------------------------------------------
Certificates. Subject to Sections 9.02 and 9.03, the execution of any
- ------------
instrument by a Holder or his agent or proxy may be proved in accordance with
such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Indenture
Trustee. The holding of Certificates shall be proved by the Register or by a
certificate of the Registrar.
SECTION 10.03. Holders to Be Treated as Owners. Prior to due presentment
-------------------------------
for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee, any agent of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, the
Paying Agent, if any, the Registrar and the Lessee may deem and treat the Person
in whose name such Certificate shall be registered upon the Register as the
absolute owner of such Certificate (whether or not such Certificate shall be
overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon)
for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of and,
subject to the provisions of this Indenture, interest on such Certificate and
for all other purposes; and neither the Owner Trustee nor the Indenture Trustee
(nor any agent of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee) nor the Paying
Agent, if any, nor the Registrar nor the Lessee shall be affected by any notice
to the contrary. All such payments so made to any such person, or upon his
order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual
to satisfy and discharge the liability for moneys payable upon any such
Certificate.
SECTION 10.04. Certificates Owned by Owner Trustee and the Lessee Deemed
---------------------------------------------------------
Not Outstanding. In determining whether the Holders of the requisite aggregate
- ----------------
principal amount of Certificates have concurred in any direction, consent or
waiver under this Indenture, Certificates which are owned by the Owner Trustee,
the Owner Participant, the Lessee or by any Person directly or indirectly
controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the
Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant or the Lessee shall be disregarded and
deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination; provided
--------
that for the purpose of determining whether the Indenture Trustee shall be
protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver, only if a
Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has
- 62 -
<PAGE>
actual knowledge that certain Certificates are so owned shall such Certificates
be so disregarded; and provided further that if all Certificates which would be
-------
deemed Outstanding in the absence of the foregoing provision are owned by the
Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant or the Lessee or by any Person directly or
indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common
control with the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant or the Lessee, then such
Certificates shall be deemed Outstanding for the purpose of any such
determination. Certificates so owned which have been pledged in good faith may
be regarded as Outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the
Indenture Trustee the pledgee's right so to act with respect to such
Certificates and that the pledgee is not the Owner Trustee, the Owner
Participant or the Lessee or any Person directly or indirectly controlling or
controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Owner Trustee
or the Lessee. In case of a dispute as to such right, the advice of counsel
shall be full protection in respect of any decision made by the Indenture
Trustee in accordance with such advice. Upon request of the Indenture Trustee,
the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant and the Lessee shall furnish to the
Indenture Trustee promptly an Officers' Certificate listing and identifying all
Certificates, if any, known by the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant or the
Lessee to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the above-described
persons; and, subject to Sections 9.02 and 9.03, the Indenture Trustee shall be
entitled to accept such Officers' Certificate as conclusive evidence of the
facts set forth therein and of the fact that all Certificates not listed therein
are outstanding for the purpose of any such determination.
SECTION 10.05. Right of Revocation of Action Taken. At any time prior
-----------------------------------
to (but not after) the evidencing to the Indenture Trustee, as provided in
Section 10.01, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage in
aggregate principal amount of the Certificates specified in this Indenture in
connection with such action, any Holder of a Certificate, the serial number of
which is shown by the evidence to be included among the serial numbers of the
Certificates the Holders of which have consented to such action, may, by filing
written notice at the Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of holding as
provided in this Article, revoke such action so far as concerns such
Certificate. Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by the Holder shall be
conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners
of such Certificate and of any Certificates issued in exchange or substitution
therefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made
upon any such Certificate or otherwise. Any action taken by the Holders of the
percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Certificates specified in this
Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the
Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of all the Certificates.
SECTION 10.06. ERISA Plan Prohibition. No employee benefit plan subject
----------------------
to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security
- 63 -
<PAGE>
Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or individual retirement account or employee
benefit plan subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, (hereinafter collectively referred to as an "ERISA Plan") may acquire
or hold any of the Certificates. The purchase by any person of any Certificate
constitutes a representation by such person to the Lessee, the Owner
Participant, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee that such person is not
an ERISA Plan and that such person is not acquiring, and has not acquired, such
Certificate with assets of an ERISA Plan.
ARTICLE XI

agents and servants solely from the Trust Estate, with respect to the claims of
the Indenture Trustee for payment or reimbursement under Section 9.11 hereof and

measured by any compensation received by the Indenture Trustee for its services
under this Indenture), claims, actions, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
(including legal fees and expenses) of any kind and nature whatsoever which may

other person under any other document) in any way relating to or arising out of
this Indenture, or any other Indenture Documents or the enforcement of any of
the terms of any thereof, or in any way relating to or arising out of the
manufacture, design, purchase, acceptance, nonacceptance, rejection, ownership,
registration, re-registration, delivery, redelivery, lease, possession, use,

- 64 -
<PAGE>

--------
shall not make any claim under this Article XI for any claim or expense
indemnified by the Lessee under the Participation Agreement without first making
demand on the Lessee for payment of such claim or expense unless the Indenture
Trustee is enjoined or is otherwise prevented by law from making such demand.
The Indenture Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to
indemnification, from the Indenture Estate, for any liability, obligation, loss,
damage, penalty, claim, action, suit, cost, expense or disbursement indemnified
against pursuant to this Article XI to the extent not reimbursed by the Lessee
or others, but without releasing any of them from their respective agreements of

Lien on the Indenture Estate. The indemnities contained in this Article XI shall
survive the termination of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the
Indenture Trustee. Upon payment in full by the Owner Trustee of any indemnity
pursuant to this Article XI, the Owner Trustee shall be subrogated to the rights
of the Indenture Trustee, if any, in respect of the matter as to which the

or any merger, conversion, consolidation or sale of substantially all of the
corporate trust business of the Owner Trustee pursuant to the Trust Agreement,
the successor Owner Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the
Indenture Trustee.
SECTION 12.02. Resignation and Removal of Indenture Trustee; Appointment
---------------------------------------------------------
of Successor. (a) The Indenture Trustee or any successor thereto may resign at
- ------------
any time without cause by giving at least 30 days' prior written notice to the
Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant, the Lessee and each Holder, such
resignation to be effective upon the acceptance of the trusteeship by a
successor Indenture Trustee. In addition, a Majority in Interest of Certificate
Holders, or the Owner Trustee, with the consent of the Lessee (so long as no
Lease Default is then continuing) and a Majority in Interest of Certificate
Holders, may at any time remove the Inde nture Trusteewithout cause by an

Participant, and the Indenture Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee shall promptly
notify each Holder thereof in writing, such removal to be effective upon the
acceptance of the trusteeship by a successor Indenture Trustee. In the case of
the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee, a Majority in Interest of
Certificate Holders, or the Owner Trustee, with the consent of the Lessee (so
long as no Lease Default is then continuing) and a Majority in Interest of
Certificate Holders may appoint a
- 65 -
<PAGE>
successor Indenture Trustee by an instrument signed by such Holders. If a
successor Indenture Trustee shall not have been appointed within 90 days after
such notice of resignation or removal, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee,
the Lessee, the Owner Participant, or any Holder may apply to any court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Indenture Trustee to act until
such time, if any, as a successor shall have been appointed as provided above.
The successor Indenture Trustee so appointed by such court shall immediately and
without further act be superseded by any successor Indenture Trustee appointed
as provided above within one year from the date of the appointment by such
court.
(b) In case at any time any of the following shall occur:
(i) the Indenture Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of Section 12.03 and shall fail to resign
after written request therefor by the Owner Trustee or by any such Holder;
or
(ii) the Indenture Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or
shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver or liquidator of
the Indenture Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Indenture Trustee or of its
property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
liquidation;
then the Owner Trustee may remove the Indenture Trustee and, with the consent of
the Lessee (so long as no Lease Default is then continuing), appoint a successor
trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by a Responsible Officer
of the Owner Trustee, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the
Indenture Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or any
Holder who has been a bona fide Holder for at least six months may, on behalf of
himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the Indenture Trustee and the appointment of a
successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it
may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Indenture Trustee and appoint a
successor trustee, which removal and appointment shall become effective upon
acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 12.04.
The successor Indenture Trustee so appointed by such court shall immediately and
without further act be superseded by any successor Indenture Trustee appointed
as provided above within one year from the date of appointment by such court.
SECTION 12.03. Persons Eligible for Appointment as Indenture
---------------------------------------------
Trustee. There shall at all times be an Indenture Trustee
- -------
hereunder which shall be a corporation organized and doing business under the
laws of the United States of America or of any State or the District of Columbia
having a combined capital and
- 66 -
<PAGE>
surplus of at least $100,000,000, or a direct or indirect subsidiary of such a
corporation, or a member of a bank holding company group, having a combined
capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 in either case the obligations of
which under the Operative Documents are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by
a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States of
America or of any State or the District of Columbia having a combined capital
and surplus of at least $100,000,000 and such subsidiary or member itself having
a capital and surplus of at least $75,000,000, if there is such an institution
willing, able and legally qualified to perform the duties of the Indenture
Trustee hereunder upon reasonable and customary terms. Such corporate trustee
shall be a citizen of the United States as defined in Section 101(16) of the
Act, and shall be authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers
and shall be subject to supervision of examination by Federal, State or District
of Columbia authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at
least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid
supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the
combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its
combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition
so published. In case at any time the Indenture Trustee shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Indenture
Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in
Section 12.02.
SECTION 12.04. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor Trustee. Any
----------------------------------------------
successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 12.02 shall execute and
deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Lessee, and to its predecessor trustee an
instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation
or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor
trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with
all rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with
like effect as if originally named as trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the
written request of the Owner Trustee or of the successor trustee, upon payment
of its charges then unpaid, the trustee ceasing to act shall, subject to Section
14.04, pay over to the successor trustee all moneys at the time held by it
hereunder and shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such
successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations. Upon request
of any such successor trustee, the Owner Trustee shall execute any and all
instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to
such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act
shall, nevertheless, retain a prior claim upon all property or funds held or
collected by such trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the
provisions of Article XI.
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section
12.04 unless at the time of such acceptance such
- 67 -
<PAGE>
successor trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 12.03.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this
Section 12.04, the successor trustee shall mail notice thereof by first-class
mail to the Holders at their last addresses as they shall appear in the
Register, and shall mail a copy of such notice to the Lessee and the Owner
Trustee. If the acceptance of appointment is substantially contemporaneous with
the resignation, then the notice called for by the preceding sentence may be
combined with the notice called for by Section 12.02.
SECTION 12.05. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business
-----------------------------------------------------------
of Indenture Trustee. Any corporation into which the Indenture Trustee may be
- --------------------
merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Indenture
Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust
business of the Indenture Trustee, shall be the successor to the Indenture
Trustee hereunder, provided that, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of
Section 12.03, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act
on the part of any of the parties hereto.
In case at the time such successor to the Indenture Trustee shall succeed
to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Certificates shall have been
authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Indenture Trustee may
adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Indenture Trustee and
deliver such Certificates so authenticated; and, in case at that time any of the
Certificates shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Indenture
Trustee may authenticate such Certificates either in the name of any predecessor
hereunder or in the name of the successor Indenture Trustee; and in all such
cases such certificate shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the
Certificates or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Indenture
Trustee shall have; provided, that the right to adopt the certificate of
---------
authentication of any predecessor Indenture Trustee or to authenticate
Certificates in the name of any predecessor Indenture Trustee shall apply only
to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.
SECTION 12.06. Appointment of Separate Trustees. (a) At any time or
--------------------------------
times, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in
which any part of the Indenture Estate may at the time be located or in which
any action of the Indenture Trustee may be required to be performed or taken,
the Indenture Trustee, by an instrument in writing signed by it, may appoint one
or more individuals or corporations to act as separate trustee or separate
trustees or co-trustee, acting jointly with the Indenture Trustee, of all or any
part of the Indenture Estate, to the full
- 68 -
<PAGE>
extent that local law makes it necessary for such separate trustee or separate
trustees or co-trustee acting jointly with the Indenture Trustee to act.
(b) The Indenture Trustee and, at the request of the Indenture Trustee,
the Owner Trustee, shall execute, acknowledge and deliver all such instruments
as may be required by the legal requirements of any jurisdiction or by any such
separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee for the purpose of more
fully confirming such title, rights or duties to such separate trustee or
separate trustees or co-trustee. Upon the acceptance in writing of such
appointment by any such separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee, it,
he or they shall be vested with such title to the Indenture Estate or any part
thereof, and with such rights, powers, duties and obligations, as shall be
specified in the instrument of appointment, and such rights, powers, duties and
obligations shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the
Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee and such separate trustee or
separate trustees or co-trustee jointly with the Indenture Trustee subject to
all the terms of this Indenture, except to the extent that under any law of any
jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed the
Indenture Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or
acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be
exercised and performed by such separate trustee or separate trustees or co-
trustee, as the case may be. Any separate trustee or separate trustees or co-
trustee may, at any time by an instrument in writing, constitute the Indenture
Trustee its or his attorney-in-fact and agent with full power and authority to
do all acts and things and to exercise all discretion on its or his behalf and
in its or his name. In case any such separate trustee or co-trustee shall die,
become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, the title to the Indenture
Estate and all assets, property, rights, powers, duties and obligations and
duties of such separate trustee or co-trustee shall, so far as permitted by law,
vest in and be exercised by the Indenture Trustee, without the appointment of a
successor to such separate trustee or co-trustee unless and until a successor is
appointed.
(c) All provisions of this Indenture which are for the benefit of the
Indenture Trustee (including without limitation Article XI hereof) shall extend
to and apply to each separate trustee or co-trustee appointed pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section 12.06.
(d) Every additional trustee and separate trustee hereunder shall, to
the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act and the Indenture Trustee
shall act, subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(i) all powers, duties, obligations and rights conferred upon
the Indenture Trustee in respect of the
- 69 -
<PAGE>
receipt, custody, investment and payment of moneys shall be exercised
solely by the Indenture Trustee;
(ii) all other rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred
or imposed upon the Indenture Trustee shall be conferred or imposed and
exercised or performed by the Indenture Trustee and such additional trustee
or trustees and separate trustee or trustees jointly except to the extent
that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts
are to be performed, the Indenture Trustee shall be incompetent or
unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights,
powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the
Indenture Estate in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed
by such additional trustee or trustees or separate trustee or trustees;
(iii) no power hereby given to, or exercisable by, any such
additional trustee or separate trustee shall be exercised hereunder by such
additional trustee or separate trustee except jointly with, or with the
consent of, the Indenture Trustee; and
(iv) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of
any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder.
If at any time the Indenture Trustee shall deem it no longer necessary or
prudent in order to conform to any such law, the Indenture Trustee shall execute
and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto and all other instruments and
agreements necessary or proper to remove any additional trustee or separate
trustee.
(e) Any request, approval or consent in writing by the Indenture
Trustee to any additional trustee or separate trustee shall be sufficient
warrant to such additional trustee or separate trustee, as the case may be, to
take such action as may be so requested, approved or consented to.
(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 12.06, the
powers of any additional trustee or separate trustee shall not exceed those of
the Indenture Trustee hereunder.

such supplemental indenture, to make any further appropriate agreements and
stipulations which may be contained therein and to accept the conveyance,
transfer, assignment, mortgage or pledge of any property thereunder, but the
Indenture Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental

enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of
adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the

such Certificate), or alter or modify the provisions of Article V hereof with
respect to the order of priorities in which distributions thereunder shall be

Participant) and upon the filing with the Indenture Trustee of evidence of the
consent of Holders and other documents, if any, required by Section 10.01, the

which case the Indenture Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be
obligated to, enter into such supplemental indenture.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section
to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it
shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.
Promptly after the execution by the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee
of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Section, the
Indenture Trustee shall mail a notice thereof by first-class mail to the Holders
at their addresses as they shall appear on the registry books of the Registrar,
setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture. Any
failure of the Indenture Trustee to mail such notice, or any defect therein,
shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such
supplemental indenture.
SECTION 13.03. Effect of Supplemental Indenture. Upon the execution of
--------------------------------
any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions hereof, this Indenture
shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and

shall so determine, new Certificates so modified as to conform, in the opinion
of the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, to any modification of this
Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture may be prepared by the
Owner Trustee, authenticated by the Indenture Trustee and delivered in exchange
for the Outstanding Certificates.

last address as it appears in the Register. In any case where notice to Holders
is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any
notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such
notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice
in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the person entitled to
receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be
the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with

In case, by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular
express delivery service, it shall be impracticable to send notice to the Owner
Trustee by express delivery service and Holders when such notice is required to
be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving
such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to

or in the exercise of reasonable care should know that the same are erroneous.
Any certificate, statement or opinion of counsel may be based, insofar as it

erroneous, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know that the same are
erroneous.

unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

hereof or of any Certificate shall be effective only in the specific instance

If an Indenture Event of Default under the Indenture shall occur and be
continuing, the principal of the Certificates may be declared due and payable in
the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. The Indenture provides
that in certain events such declaration and its consequences may be waived by
the Holders of at least 50% in aggregate principal amount of Outstanding
Certificates. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Certificate shall
be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and
owners of this Certificate and any Certificate that may be issued in exchange or
substitution therefor, whether or not any notation thereof is made upon this
Certificate or such other Certificates. Moreover, if, and only if, a Lease Event
of Default shall occur, the Indenture Trustee may declare the Lease to be in
default, and may, to the exclusion of the Owner Trustee, exercise one or more of
the remedies of the Owner Trustee provided in the Lease.
The Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant may cure a default by the Lessee
under the Lease arising from the failure of the Lessee to make any Basic Rent
payments under the Lease if such failure of the Lessee to make such payment of
Basic Rent shall not constitute the fourth consecutive such failure or the
seventh or subsequent cumulative such failure. The Owner Trustee or the Owner
Participant may cure any other default by the Lessee in the performance of its
obligations under the Lease which can be cured by the payment of money by making
such payment on behalf of the Lessee.
At any time while the Certificates have become immediately due and payable
as provided in the Indenture, the Owner Participant may direct the Owner Trustee
to pay to the Indenture Trustee for distribution to the Holders an amount equal
to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Outstanding Certificates plus
all accrued but unpaid interest thereon to the date of payment and all other
amounts due hereunder, but without premium. Upon such payment, the Certificates
shall cease to accrue interest thereafter.
By acceptance of this Certificate, the Holder hereof waives to the fullest
extent permitted by law the benefit of the provisions of Section 1111(b) of the
Bankruptcy Code with respect to recourse against the Trust Company and the Owner
Participant on account of any amount payable as principal, premium, interest or
other amounts pursuant to this Certificate.
The right of the Holder hereof to institute action for any remedy under the
Indenture is subject to certain restrictions specified in the Indenture, except
that the right of the Holder of this Certificate to receive payment of the
principal of and interest on this Certificate on or after the respective due
dates, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, shall not
be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

<PAGE>
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. So long as
any of the Certificates remain Outstanding, the Indenture Trustee will maintain
(i) an office or agency in Atlanta, Georgia where the Certificates may be
presented for payment and (ii) a facility or agency in New York, New York where
the Certificates may be presented for registration of transfer and for exchange
as provided in the Indenture. As provided in the Indenture and subject to
certain limitations therein, this Certificate is transferable, and upon
surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the principal
corporate trust office of the Indenture Trustee, or at the office or agency
maintained for such purposes, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Holder or his attorney duly authorized
in writing, one or more new Certificates of the same Maturity and interest rate
and of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount will
be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein,
the Certificates are exchangeable for an equal aggregate principal amount of
Certificates of the same Maturity and interest rate and of authorized
denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same, upon
presentation thereof for such purpose at the principal corporate trust office of
the Indenture Trustee, or at an office or agency maintained for such purpose.
No service charge to the Holder shall be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange, but the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
payable in connection therewith.
Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this
Certificate, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, any agent of the Owner
Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, the Paying Agent, if any, the Registrar and
the Lessee may deem and treat the person in whose name this Certificate is
registered as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes whether or not this
Certificate is overdue, and neither the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee
(nor any agent of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee), nor the Paying
Agent, if any, the Registrar nor the Lessee shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
As provided in the Indenture, the Indenture and the Certificates shall be
construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York,
without giving effect to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof.

Estate from, or otherwise approach or negotiate in respect thereof with,

obligations under the Operative Documents to which it is a party; and no
such actions, suits or proceedings are known by the Lessee to be threatened
or contemplated by government authorities or threatened by others;

in the process of terminating any Plan and (ii) has incurred or reasonably
expects to incur, any material liability under Title IV of ERISA with
respect to any termination of any employee benefit plan (within the meaning
of Section 3(3) of ERISA and including multiemployer plans within the

which case such representations and warranties were correct on and as of
such earlier date);
(xxiii) there has not occurred any event which constitutes a Default

be free and clear from the withholding of any Tax imposed by the United States,
any state or local government or taxing authority in the United States, any
foreign or international taxing authority or the taxing authority of any United
States possession or territory, and if any such withholding is required, Lessee
shall pay an additional amount of Rent such that the net amount of Rent actually
received by an Indemnitee will be equal to the amount of Rent that would have
been due absent such withholding. The Lessee agrees to pay, and to indemnify and
hold each Indemnitee (which term, for the purposes of this Section 6, shall mean
the Owner Participant, the Interim Refinancing Loan Participant (but excluding

agreement or instrument or upon or with respect to the property, or the income
or other proceeds received with respect to the property, held by the Owner
Participant, by the Owner Trustee or by the Indenture Trustee under the
Indenture or otherwise with respect to or in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the Operative Documents as and when such Taxes shall become due
and payable, but excluding Taxes:
(i) in the case of any Indemnitee, (A) on, based on, or measured
by, the gross or net income or receipts of such Indemnitee, (B) any capital
gains taxes, excess profits taxes, minimum taxes from tax preferences,
alternative minimum taxes, accumulated earnings taxes, personal holding
company taxes, succession taxes and estate taxes imposed upon any

the rate of such taxes as evidenced by the text of enabling legislation,
the legislative history or statements by public officials) (other than (x)
in the case of (A) or (B) above, any such Taxes which are in the nature of
a sales or use tax, license fee, rental, property tax or ad valorem tax and
----------
(y) in the case of (A) or (B) above any Tax on or measured by any gross or
net income or gross or net receipts in any jurisdiction if such Taxes
-29-
<PAGE>
would have been imposed if the presence, location, use or operation of the
Aircraft in such jurisdiction were the sole connection between such
Indemnitee and such jurisdiction);
(ii) in the case of any Indemnitee, on, or with respect to, or
measured by the capital or net worth of such Indemnitee or in the nature of
a franchise tax on, or a tax for the privilege of doing business by, such
Indemnitee (however calculated) imposed by the United States or any state
or local taxing authority therein (other than (x) any such Taxes which are
in the nature of a sales or use tax, license fee, rental, property or ad
--
valorem tax and (y) any such Taxes which are imposed in any jurisdiction if
-------
such Taxes would have been imposed if the presence, location, use or
operation of the Aircraft in such jurisdiction were the sole connection
between such Indemnitee and such jurisdiction);
(iii) on, with respect to or measured by any trustee fees received
by the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee for services rendered under
the Trust Agreement and the Indenture, respectively;
(iv) to the extent actually reimbursed on an after-tax basis to
such Indemnitee by any person other than any Affiliate of the Indemnitee
or, if such Indemnitee is the Indenture Trustee, other than any Holder;
(v) imposed on the Owner Trustee in its trust capacity or the
Indenture Trustee in its trust capacity to the extent that such Taxes
reduce taxes, fees or other charges which otherwise would have been imposed
on the Owner Participant, any Holder or any holder of a Pass Through
Certificate and which are not Taxes indemnified against under this Section
6(b) or pursuant to the Indemnity Agreement;
(vi) which have not been paid but only during the period that
such Taxes are being contested as provided in this Section 6(b);
(vii) imposed on any Indemnitee to the extent that such Taxes
arise out of or are caused by any act or omission of such Indemnitee where
such act or omission in breach of express obligations of the Indemnitee
under the Operative Documents;
(viii) imposed on any Indemnitee to the extent that such Taxes
result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee
(other than gross negligence or willful misconduct imputed by reason of
-30-
<PAGE>
such Indemnitee's participation in the transactions contemplated by the
Operative Documents);
(ix) imposed on any Indemnitee as a result of (A) a voluntary
transfer or other voluntary disposition by the Owner Participant, the Owner
Trustee or the Indenture Trustee of any interest in the Aircraft or any
part thereof or the Trust Estate or the Indenture Estate (it being
understood that a transfer or disposition pursuant to Section 5 (other than
a sale at fair market value) or Sections 7, 8, 9, 10 or 15 of the Lease or
the last paragraph of this Section 6(b) (other than a sale at fair market
value) is not a voluntary transfer or disposition for this purpose), (B)
with respect to any taxes imposed on the Owner Participant, a transfer or
disposition by the Owner Participant resulting from bankruptcy or other
proceedings for the relief of debtors in which the Owner Participant is the
debtor, whether voluntary or involuntary, of any interest in the Aircraft
or any part thereof, or the Trust Estate, or (C) a transfer by such
Indemnitee of all or any part of its interest in a Certificate or a Pass
Through Certificate unless, in each case, such transfer or disposition
shall occur at any time while an Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing or shall occur in connection with any substitution,
replacement, modification, or pooling of the Aircraft, any Engine or any
Part thereof;
(x) as to which such Indemnitee is indemnified by the Lessee
pursuant to the Indemnity Agreement;
(xi) with respect to any period after the xpiration or earlier
termination of the Term and the return of the Aircraft or payment in full
of Stipulated Loss Value or Termination Value, as the case may be, for the
Aircraft and all Rent due and owing with respect to the Aircraft in each
case in accordance with the Lease, unless such Taxes relate to events or
matters occurring prior to or coincidental with such expiration,
termination, return or payment, as the case may be; and
(xii) imposed on the Owner Participant or any person who is a
"disqualified person", within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(2) of the
Code, or a "party in interest", within the meaning of Section 3(14) of
ERISA, by virtue of such person's relationship to the Owner Participant as
the result of any prohibited transaction, within the meaning of Section
4975(c)(1) of the Code, occurring with respect to the purchase or holding
of any Certificate or any Pass Through Certificate or any participation
interest therein (i) over which purchase or holding the Owner Participant
-31-
<PAGE>
(or any Affiliate thereof, which for purposes of this clause (xii) shall
also include any affiliate within the meaning of the first sentence of Part
V(c)(3) of Prohibited Transaction Exemption 84-14) has discretion or
control, or (ii) by an employee benefit plan, within the meaning of Section
3(3) of ERISA, or individual retirement account or employee benefit plan
subject to Section 4975 of the Code with respect to which the Owner
Participant (or any Affiliate thereof) has the power, directly or
indirectly, to appoint or terminate, or to negotiate the terms of the
management agreement with, the person or persons having discretion or
control over such purchase or holding, provided, however, that such
-------- -------
exclusion shall occur only in the event that the Owner Participant or the
Affiliate thereof which has the discretion or control described in
subclause (i) above or which has the power described in subclause (ii)
above, as the case may be, knows or reasonably should have known that such
purchase or holding of the Certificates or Pass Through Certificates (or
participation interests therein) may constitute a prohibited transaction,
within the meaning of Section 4975(c)(1) of the Code.
If the Owner Participant reimburses the Owner Trustee or the Indenture
Trustee for any Tax for which indemnification would be required hereunder, the
Lessee will reimburse the Owner Participant therefor.
The Pass Through Trustee shall withhold any Taxes required to be
withheld on payments to any holder of a Pass Through Certificate who is not a
United States person except to the extent that such holder has furnished
evidence satisfactory to the Pass Through Trustee of any exemption from
withholding Taxes claimed by such holder. The Indenture Trustee shall withhold
any Taxes required to be withheld on payments to any Holder who is not a United
States person except to the extent that such Holder has furnished evidence
satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee of any exemption from withholding Taxes
claimed by such Holder. Notwithstanding the exclusion set forth in subparagraphs
(i) through (xii) of this Section 6(b) or any other provision of any of the
Operative Documents, the Lessee shall indemnify and hold harmless on a net
after-tax basis the Owner Participant and, if applicable, the Owner Trustee for
any withholding Taxes imposed with respect to such a holder or Holder, as the
case may be, that result from the failure of the Pass Through Trustee or the
Indenture Trustee to properly withhold such Taxes or the failure of the relevant
holder or Holder, as the case may be, to provide the documentation and other
forms necessary to establish an exemption from such Tax. To the extent that the
Lessee is not otherwise reimbursed for such amounts, the Lessee shall be
entitled to recover any amounts paid pursuant to the preceding sentence from the
Pass Through Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, (in its
individual capacity; provided,
-32-
<PAGE>
however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall
such payment be made out of, or be indemnifiable from, the assets held by the
Pass Through Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the holders of the
Pass Through Certificates or the Holders, as the case may be) (plus interest
thereon at the Debt Rate) until such amounts have been recovered in full by the
Lessee. In the event the Indenture Trustee or the Pass Through Trustee is
required to pay any amount in its individual capacity hereunder, it shall have
no recourse to or right of reimbursement from the Indenture Estate, any Pass
Through Trust, the Trust Estate, or any portion of either.
With respect to any payment or indemnity hereunder, such payment or
indemnity shall include an amount payable to the Indemnitee sufficient to hold
such Indemnitee harmless on an after-tax basis from all Taxes required to be
paid by such Indemnitee with respect to such payment or indemnity under the laws
of any federal, state or local government or taxing authority in or of the
United States, or under the laws of any taxing authority or governmental
subdivision in or of a foreign country; provided that, if any Indemnitee
--------
currently realizes and recognizes a permanent tax benefit by reason of such
payment or indemnity (whether such tax benefit shall be by means of a foreign
tax credit, depreciation or recovery deduction or otherwise) not otherwise taken
into account in computing such payment or indemnity, such Indemnitee shall pay
to the Lessee (but not before the Lessee shall have made all payments then due
to such Indemnitee under the Operative Documents) an amount equal to the sum of
such tax benefit plus any permanent tax benefit realized as the result of any
payment made pursuant to this proviso, when, as, if and to the extent realized
(it being understood that an Indemnitee will not be deemed to realize a
permanent tax benefit by reason of any reduction in the amount of, or credit
against, Taxes for which the Lessee would have been, absent such reduction or
credit, obligated to indemnify such Indemnitee hereunder or under the Indemnity
Agreement, as a result of the payment of, or indemnity for, Taxes for which the
Lessee has previously paid an indemnity hereunder); provided, however, that such
-------- -------
payment by an Indemnitee shall not exceed the lesser of (x) the sum of such tax
benefit plus any other permanent tax benefit realized by such Indemnitee as the
result of any payment made by such Indemnitee pursuant to this sentence and (y)
the amount of all payments pursuant to this Section 6(b) by the Lessee to such
Indemnitee (and the excess, if any, of the amount described in clause (x) over
the amount described in clause (y) shall be carried forward and applied to
reduce pro tanto any subsequent obligations of the Lessee to make payments
---------
pursuant to this Section 6(b), it being intended that no Indemnitee should
realize a net tax benefit pursuant to this Section 6(b) unless the Lessee shall
first have been made whole for any payments by it to such Indemnitee pursuant to
this Section 6(b)); provided, further, that if, at the time such payment shall
-------- -------
be due to the Lessee an Event of Default or Payment Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, such payment shall not be made to the Lessee unless and until
all
-33-
<PAGE>
Events of Default or Payment Defaults shall have been cured by the Lessee. Each
such Indemnitee shall in good faith use reasonable efforts in filing its tax
returns and in dealing with taxing authorities to seek and claim any such tax
benefit. Any Taxes that are imposed on any Indemnitee as a result of the loss,
disallowance, recapture or reduction of such tax benefit referred to in the next
preceding sentence in a taxable year subsequent to the year of allowance and
utilization by such Indemnitee (including the expiration of any tax credit
carryovers or carrybacks of such Indemnitee that would not otherwise have
expired) shall be deemed a Tax indemnified pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 6(b). In determining the order in which the Indemnitee utilizes any
foreign taxes as a credit against the Indemnitee's United States income taxes,
the Indemnitee shall be deemed to utilize (A) first, all foreign taxes other
than those described in clause (B) below; provided, however, that such other
-------- -------
foreign taxes which are carried back to the taxable year for which a
determination is being made shall be deemed utilized after the foreign taxes
described in clause (B) below, and (B) then, on a pro rata basis, all foreign
taxes in connection with equipment leasing transactions with respect to which
and to the extent that the Indemnitee is entitled to obtain indemnification
pursuant to an indemnification provision contained in any lease, financing
document, participation agreement, or indemnification agreement (including this
Agreement) other than any such transaction in which there is an express
provision that credits are deemed utilized on a basis more or less favorable
than pro rata; provided further, however, that for purposes of the two preceding
--- ---- -------- ------- -------
sentences (except to the extent provided in the immediately preceding proviso) a
reduction in taxes shall be considered attributable to a foreign tax credit
carryover or carryback arising from a recovery by the Indemnitee of foreign tax
credits in respect of which the Lessee has previously paid an indemnity
hereunder only to the extent that all other carryovers and carrybacks of foreign
tax credits of the Indemnitee have been fully used by the Indemnitee.
If written claim is made against any Indemnitee for any such Tax
referred to in this Section 6(b), the Indemnitee shall promptly notify the
Lessee of the Indemnitee's receipt of such claim; provided, however, that the
-------- -------
failure of the Indemnitee to so notify the Lessee shall not preclude any
indemnity hereunder unless and to the extent that the Lessee's right to effect
its contest rights hereunder has been materially impaired by such failure. If
requested by the Lessee in writing, such Indemnitee shall in good faith contest
the validity, applicability or amount of such Tax provided such Tax is one with
respect to which the Lessee has agreed in writing that it would be required to
indemnify the Indemnitee under this Section 6 provided that such agreement shall
be of no force and effect if the contest is ultimately resolved on an
articulated basis which clearly does not constitute a basis for indemnification
hereunder. Such Indemnitee shall consult with and keep the Lessee informed as to
the progress of any action, suit or proceeding by such Indemnitee contesting
-34-
<PAGE>
the validity, applicability or amount of such Tax and, upon the request of such
Indemnitee, the Lessee shall assume responsibility for contesting the validity,
applicability or amount of such Tax in the name of the Indemnitee or in the name
of the Lessee, if permissible under applicable law; provided that (i) the Lessee
--------
shall not be obligated to bring any action, suit or proceeding or to prosecute
any such contest, except in its sole discretion; (ii) in the event of any such
contest by the Lessee, such Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Lessee by
providing to the Lessee all documents (or portions thereof), reports and other
information relevant thereto in the Indemnitee's possession (which documents (or
portions thereof), reports and other information will be disclosed by the Lessee
only for the purposes of such contest), by resisting payment of such Tax if
lawful and practicable and, provided that nonpayment of the same would not
result in any material danger of sale, forfeiture, loss of use of the Aircraft,
the Airframe or any Engine or any risk of criminal liability, by not paying the
same except under protest, if protest is necessary and proper; (iii) if the
Lessee shall not be qualified to contest such Tax or shall not be requested to
do so by such Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall, upon receipt of indemnity
satisfactory to it and upon the written request and at the expense of the Lessee
reimbursed to such Indemnitee on reasonable demand and on an after-tax basis
(including, without limitation, all reasonable costs, expenses, losses, legal
and accountants' fees and disbursements, penalties and interest), in good faith
contest in the name of such Indemnitee the validity; applicability or amount of
such Tax by, in such Indemnitee's discretion, (A) resisting payment thereof if
practicable and consistent with applicable administrative or judicial procedures
(B) not paying the same except under protest, if protest is necessary and
proper, and provided that non-payment of the same would not result in any
material danger of sale, forfeiture, or loss of use of the Aircraft, the
Airframe or any Engine or any risk of criminal liability or (C) paying the same
and using reasonable efforts to obtain a refund thereof in appropriate
administrative and judicial proceedings. If an Indemnitee contests a Tax by
making a payment thereof, then the Lessee shall advance on an interest free
basis and shall indemnify on an after-tax basis such Indemnitee against any
adverse tax consequences resulting from such advance, an amount equal to the
Taxes and any penalties, additions to tax, fines and interest thereon that are
paid by such Indemnitee in connection with such contest. Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Section 6(b), an Indemnitee will not be required to
contest, or to continue to contest, the validity, applicability or amount of any
Tax (or portion thereof) (v) in the nature of an income or franchise tax imposed
on the Owner Participant or Owner Trustee unless tax counsel selected by the
Owner Participant and reasonably acceptable to the Lessee is of the opinion that
there is a Reasonable Basis (as defined in the Indemnity Agreement) for pursuit
of such contest and the amount at issue exceeds $12,500, (x) if such Indemnitee
waives its right to indemnity hereunder with respect to such Tax (or such
portion thereof) or (y) if an
-35-
<PAGE>
Event of Default or a Payment Default has occurred and is continuing, unless the
Lessee provides such Indemnitee with security in a manner satisfactory to such
Indemnitee within such Indemnitee's reasonable discretion. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the contest also involves other Taxes which are not required to be
indemnified by the Lessee pursuant to this Section 6(b) ("Non-Indemnified
Items"), then, such Indemnitee shall not discriminate against such Tax in favor
of any Non-Indemnified Items and, unless one of the conditions referred to in
clause (x) or (y) of the previous sentence exists, shall not settle such Tax,
without the consent of the Lessee (except with respect to Non-Indemnified
Items), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed given all
the facts and circumstances. All costs and expenses of any contest by the Lessee
and all reasonable costs and expenses of any contest by any Indemnitee shall be
borne by the Lessee (except with respect to Non-Indemnified Items), which costs
and expenses shall be paid promptly and on an after-tax basis after receipt of
notice. If any Indemnitee shall obtain a refund of all or any part of such Tax
paid by the lessee or for which the Lessee shall have reimbursed such
Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall pay promptly to the Lessee an amount equal to
the sum of (i) the amount of such refund, including interest, if any, reduced by
the Taxes imposed on such Indemnitee by reason of the receipt or accrual of such
refund and/or interest plus (ii) the amount of Taxes saved by such Indemnitee by
reason of the deduction of its payment over to the Lessee of the sum of amounts
in clause (i) and this clause (ii); provided, however, in no event shall such
-------- -------
amount payable pursuant to this sentence exceed the amount of such Tax payment
by the Lessee to such Indemnitee (plus any other payment by the Lessee to such
Indemnitee theretofore made pursuant to this Section 6(b) to the extent not
previously taken into account under this Section 6(b)) and any excess amount
shall be carried forward to reduce pro tanto any future obligations of the
--- -----
Lessee to such Indemnitee under this Section 6(b); provided that, if at the time
--------
such payment shall be due to the Lessee an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, such payment shall not be made to the Lessee unless and until
all Events of Default shall have been cured. Any amount of refund with respect
to which such Indemnitee has made a payment to the Lessee as required hereunder
that the Indemnitee is required to repay to any taxing authority shall be
treated as a Tax for which the Lessee is obligated to indemnify such Indemnitee
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6(b). The Lessee shall not be deemed
to be in default under any of the above indemnification provisions so long as it
or any Indemnitee shall diligently prosecute such contest in good faith and in
accordance with the terms of this Section 6(b). Upon final determination or
settlement of a contest, any unpaid Taxes plus other amounts owed hereunder
shall be payable by the Lessee no later than 30 days after such final
determination or settlement.
-36-
<PAGE>
Each Indemnitee shall promptly forward to the Lessee any written
notice, bill, or advice received by it concerning any indemnified Tax. Subject
to the provisions of the last sentence of the preceding paragraph, the Lessee
shall pay any amount for which it is liable pursuant to this Section 6(b)
(without regard to Section 6(b)(vi)), directly to the appropriate taxing
authority if legally permissible or, upon demand of an Indemnitee, to such
Indemnitee within thirty (30) Business Days of such demand, but in no event more
than ten (10) Business Days nor less than five (5) Business Days (provided that
if the Lessee has not received demand within a reasonable time prior to such
date, the Lessees shall make such payment promptly within a reasonable time
after receipt of such demand) prior to the date the Tax to which such amount
payable hereunder relates is due. Within thirty (30) days after the date of each
payment by the Lessee of any Tax, the Lessee shall furnish to the appropriate
Indemnitee the original or a certified copy of a receipt for the Lessee's
payment of such Tax or such other evidence of payment of such Tax as is
acceptable to such Indemnitee. The Lessee shall also furnish promptly upon
request such data as any Indemnitee may reasonably request to enable such
Indemnitee to comply with the Indemnitee's filing, audit or litigation
requirements in any taxing jurisdiction.
If any report, return or statement is required to be filed with
respect to any Tax which is subject to indemnification under this Section 6(b)
(without regard to Section 6(b)(vi)), the Lessee shall timely file the same
(except for any such report, return or statement which the Indemnitee has
notified the Lessee that the Indemnitee intends to file or for which the
Indemnitee is required by law to file in its own name). The Lessee shall either
file such report, return or statement so as to show the ownership of the
Aircraft in the Owner Trustee (unless consented to otherwise by Owner
Participant) and send a copy of such report, return or statement to the
Indemnitee, and the Owner Trustee if the Indemnitee is not the Owner Trustee,
or, where the Lessee is not permitted to file such report, return or statement,
it shall notify the Indemnitee of such requirement and prepare and deliver such
report, return or statement to the Indemnitee in a manner satisfactory to such
Indemnitee within a reasonable time prior to the time such report, return or
statement is to be filed.
If the Lessee is required to indemnify under this Agreement for any
value added tax (or would be required to indemnify pursuant to legislation
scheduled to go into effect), and if in the reasonable judgment of the Lessee
such indemnification might prove to be burdensome to the Lessee, the Lessee
shall have the option upon the delivery of thirty (30) days' prior written
notice to elect to purchase the Aircraft or the Owner Participant's interest
therein at a purchase price, and following procedures substantially identical to
those, set forth in Section 16(b)(i) or (ii) hereof unless prior to the
completion of such purchase the Owner Participant shall have waived such
indemnity by the Lessee and shall have undertaken in a manner reasonably
satisfactory to the Lessee to bear such value added
-37-
<PAGE>
tax. If the Owner Participant incurs any value added tax on the Aircraft or the
Rent not indemnified under this Section 6(b) (or would incur such tax pursuant
to legislation scheduled to go into effect), and if such Tax might in the
reasonable judgment of the Owner Participant prove to be burdensome to the Owner
Participant, then the Owner Participant may, by delivery of written notice to
the Lessee declare an Event of Loss to have occurred as of the date of such
notice, and the provisions of Section 10(a)(i) of the Lease shall become
applicable unless Lessee shall have assumed liability for such tax hereunder (it
being understood that the provisions of Section 10(a)(ii) of the Lease shall not
be available with respect to an Event of Loss declared pursuant to this
paragraph).
(c) General Indemnity. Whether or not any of the transactions
-----------------
contemplated hereby shall be consummated, the Lessee hereby agrees to assume,
and does hereby assume, liability for, and does hereby indemnify and agree to
protect, defend, save and keep harmless each Indemnitee and their respective
successors, assigns, directors, officers, agents, representatives and servants,
from and against, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, claims, actions, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including
reasonable legal fees and expenses and costs and expenses relating to
amendments, supplements, adjustments, waivers, consents and refinancings) of any
kind and nature whatsoever (other than any Taxes), which may be imposed on,
incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee or its respective successors,
assigns, directors, officers, agents, representatives or servants, by any person
other than the Lessee (but including the Lessee to the extent that such cost or
expense arises from an unsuccessful assertion of a claim by the Lessee), in any
way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the
Purchase Agreement Assignment, the Bills of Sale, the Lease, the Lease
Supplement, the Indenture, the Original Loan Certificate, the Interim
Refinancing Loan Certificate, the Certificates, the Pass Through Certificates,
the Pass Through Agreement, the Series Supplements, the Trust Agreement or any
Original Document or any other documents entered into in connection herewith or
therewith or any transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the enforcement
of any of the terms of any hereof or thereof, including, without limitation,
amounts referred to in clause "first" of Section 5.02, and clauses "first"
through "third" of Section 5.03, of the Indenture, or in any way relating to the
Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine or any Part whether or not arising out of the
manufacture, design, purchase, acceptance, non-acceptance or rejection,
ownership, registration, reregistration, financing, refinancing, delivery, non-
delivery, lease, sublease, assignment, possession, use, operation, maintenance,
testing, condition, repair, overhaul, storage, airworthiness, replacement, sale
(including all costs incurred in making the Aircraft, the Airframe, or the
Engines ready for sale after the exercise of remedies under she Lease and/ or
the Indenture), return or other disposition of the Aircraft or any part thereof
prior to the expiration or earlier termination of
-38-

the Term and the return of the Aircraft in compliance with the provisions of
Section 5 of the Lease (including any claim for patent, trademark or copyright
infringement, any claim based on theories of negligence, warranty, absolute
liability, latent or other defects, strict liability, statutory liability or
tort or injury, death or property damage of passengers, shippers or others,
environmental noise or pollution and any Liens other than Liens referred to in
clause (a) or (c) of Section 6 of the Lease), or in any way relating to or
arising out of the offer, sale, delivery or resale of the Original Loan
Certificate, the Interim Refinancing Loan Certificate, the Certificates, the
Pass Through Certificates or any refunding or refinancing thereof, or in any way
relating to or arising out of the offer or sale of any interest in the Trust
Estate or the Trust Agreement or any similar interest or in any way relating to
or arising out of the Trust Agreement and the Trust Estate, the Indenture and
the Indenture Estate (including, without limitation, any claim arising out of
the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other Federal or state statute, law
or regulation, or at common law or otherwise relating to securities
(collectively "Securities Liabilities")), or the action or inaction of the Owner
Trustee or the Indenture Trustee as trustees (including, without limitation, any
claim arising out of the Owner Participant's obligation under Section 8.01 of
the Trust Agreement); provided, however, that the Lessee shall not be required
-------- -------
to indemnify (i) the Indenture Trustee (individually or otherwise), the Original
Loan Participant or the Interim Refinancing Loan Participant (including, in each
case, the respective successors, assigns, directors, officers, agents and
servants of the Indenture Trustee, the Original Loan Participant or the Interim
Refinancing Loan Participant, as the case may be) (a) for liability arising from
such Indemnitee's own gross negligence or willful misconduct or (b) for the
inaccuracy of any representation by it or breach by such Indemnitee of any
warranty or covenant set forth in any Operative Document, or (ii) the Owner
Trustee (individually or otherwise and including its successors, assigns,
directors, officers, agents and servants) (a) for its own willful misconduct or
gross negligence, (b) for the inaccuracy of any representation or breach of any
warranty or covenant, made or undertaken in its individual capacity, set forth
in any Operative Document, (c) for taxes, fees or other charges on, based on, or
measured by, any fees, commissions or compensation received by the Owner Trustee
in its individual capacity in connection with the transactions contemplated by
any Operative Document, (d) for any failure to use ordinary care in receiving or
disbursing funds or in connection with its obligation to invest funds pursuant
to Section 1 of this Participation Agreement, Section 24 of the Lease, or
Section 3.02 of the Trust Agreement, or (e) for any liability on the part of the
Owner Trustee arising out of its negligence or willful or negligent misconduct
in connection with its obligations under Sections 6.01, 6.06 or 10.02 of the
Trust Agreement or Section 3.05(b)(iii) of the Indenture, it being understood
that nothing in this clause (ii) shall derogate from Lessee's indemnification of
the Indenture Estate and the Trust Estate hereunder; and provided, further,
-------- -------
-39-
<PAGE>
that, except as and to the extent attributable to default by the Lessee in
performing or observing its obligations hereunder or under the Lease or breach
by the Lessee of any of its representations or warranties herein or therein, the
Lessee shall not be required to indemnify any of the following:
(i) the Owner Participant against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits, costs,
expenses and disbursements (including legal fees and expenses) of any kind
and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against the Owner Participant to the extent that the same are so imposed,
incurred or asserted as a result of a default on its part in the observance
or performance of the express terms and provisions to be observed and
performed by the Owner Participant in the Trust Agreement or this
Agreement;
(ii) any Indemnitee against any expense to the extent required to
be paid by such Indemnitee pursuant to Section 14 hereof, unless such
expense is required to be paid by Lessee hereunder;
(iii) the Owner Participant or any person who is a "disqualified
person", within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(2) of the Code, or a "party
in interest", within the meaning of Section 3(14) of ERISA, by virtue of
such person's relationship to the Owner Participant against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions,
suits, costs, expenses and disbursement (including legal fees and expenses)
of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or
asserted against the Owner Participant or any person who is a "disqualified
person", within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(2) of the Code, or a "party
in interest," within the meaning of Section 3(14) of ERISA, by virtue of
such person's relationship to the Owner Participant, as the case may be,
resulting from any prohibited transaction, within the meaning of Section
4975(c)(1) of the Code, occurring with respect to the purchase or holding
of any Certificate or Pass Through Certificate or any participation
interest in either therein (i) over which purchase or holding the Owner
Participant (or any Affiliate thereof, which for purposes of this clause
(iii) shall also include any affiliate within the meaning of the first
sentence Part V(c)(3) of Prohibited Transaction Exemption 84-14) has
discretion or control, or (ii) by an employee benefit plan, within the
meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA, or individual retirement account or
employee benefit plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code with respect to
which the Owner Participant (or any Affiliate thereof) has the power,
directly or indirectly, to
-40-
<PAGE>
appoint or terminate or to negotiate the terms of the management agreement
with, the person or persons having discretion or control over such purchase
or holding, provided, however, that such exclusion shall occur only in the
-------- -------
event that the Owner Participant or the Affiliate thereof which has the
discretion or control described in subclause (ii) above, as the case may
be, knows or reasonably should have known that such purchase or holding of
the Certificates or Pass Through Certificates (or participation interest in
either therein) may constitute a prohibited transaction, within the meaning
of the Section 4975(c) (1) of the Code; or
(iv) any Indemnitee against any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits, costs, expenses and
disbursements (including legal fees and expenses) of any kind and nature
whatsoever which may be imposed on, made by or asserted against such
Indemnitee to the extent that the same are so imposed, made or asserted by
reason of (A) any voluntary transfer or voluntary disposition by such
Indemnitee (it being understood that a transfer or disposition pursuant to
Sections 5 (other than a sale at fair market value), 7, 8, 9, 10 or 15 of
the Lease is not a voluntary transfer or disposition for this purpose) or
(B) a transfer or disposition by such Indemnitee resulting from bankruptcy
or other proceedings for the relief of debtors in which such Indemnitee is
the debtor, whether voluntary or involuntary, of any interest in the
Aircraft or any part thereof, or the Trust Estate, unless, in each case,
such transfer or disposition occurs at any time while an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing.
Nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute an assumption by the Lessee of the
obligations of the Owner Trustee upon, or a guarantee by the Lessee of, the
principal of, or interest upon, the Certificates or the Pass Through
Certificates or to constitute any guarantee of any residual value of the
Aircraft. Nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute an agreement by the
Lessee that the Pass Through Certificates represent an interest in, or
obligation of, the Lessee. Payments due from the Lessee to each Indemnitee
pursuant to this Section 6(c) shall be made directly to such Indemnitee. This
Agreement constitutes a separate agreement with respect to each Indemnitee and
is enforceable directly by each such Indemnitee. In the event the Lessee is
required to make any payment under this Section 6(c), the Lessee shall pay the
person indemnified an amount which, after deduction of all taxes required to be
paid by said person in respect of the receipt thereof under the laws of the
United States or of any State or of any political subdivision thereof or therein
or of any foreign country or of any political subdivision thereof or therein
(after giving credit for any actual current savings in respect of any such taxes
by reason of deductions, credits or allowances in
-41-
<PAGE>
respect of the payment of the expense indemnified against, and of any other
such taxes), shall be equal to the amount of such payment.
If the Lessee has knowledge of any material claim or liability
indemnified against under this Section 6(c), it shall give prompt written notice
thereof to all Indemnitees, and if any Indemnitee shall have any such knowledge,
it shall give prompt written notice to the Lessee. In case any action, suit or
proceeding shall be brought against any Indemnitee under this Section 6(c), such
Indemnitee shall notify the Lessee of the commencement thereof, and the Lessee
may, at its expense, participate in, and, to the extent that it shall wish
(subject to the provisions of the following paragraph), assume the defense
thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnitee. With respect to any
amount which the Lessee is requested by an Indemnitee to pay by reason of this
Section 6(c), the Indemnitee shall, if requested by the Lessee and prior to any
payment, submit such additional information to the Lessee as the Lessee may
reasonably request properly to substantiate the requested payment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of any Indemnitee to notify the
Lessee as provided in this Section 6(c) shall not relieve the Lessee from any
liability it may have to such party, except to the extent that any such failure
results in any material increase in or inability to mitigate the liability of
the Lessee hereunder.
The Lessee or its insurers shall have the right to investigate or
(provided that the Lessee or its insurers shall agree not to dispute liability
hereunder or under any insurance policies pursuant to which coverage is sought
and provided that the Lessee shall have used good faith efforts to consult with
the relevant Indemnitee) defend or compromise any claim for which
indemnification is sought pursuant to this Section 6(c), and each Indemnitee
shall cooperate with the Lessee or its insurers with respect thereto provided,
--------
however, that the Lessee shall not be entitled to control the defense of or
- -------
compromise such claim (i) during the continuance of any Event of Default, (ii)
if and to the extent that any Indemnitee has certified that, in its reasonable
judgment, such claim involves the potential imposition of criminal liability on
such Indemnitee or (iii) if such defense or compromise would 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, the Airframe, the Indenture Estate or the
Trust Estate, unless the Lessee shall have posted a bond or other security
satisfactory to the relevant Indemnitee with respect to such risk. The Lessee
will provide the Indemnitee with such information not within the control of such
Indemnitee, as is in the Lessee's control or is reasonably available to the
Lessee, which such Indemnitee may reasonably request and will otherwise
cooperate with such Indemnitee so as to enable such Indemnitee to fulfill its
obligations under this paragraph. Where the Lessee or any of its insurers
undertakes the defense of an Indemnitee with respect to a claim and so long as,
but only so
-42-
<PAGE>
long as, the Lessee is entitled to control such defense, no additional legal
fees or expenses of such Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such claim
will be indemnified hereunder unless such fees or expenses were incurred at the
request of the Lessee or such insurers; provided, however, that if (i) in the
-------- -------
reasonable opinion of such Indemnitee, an actual or potential material conflict
of interest exists where it is advisable for such Indemnitee to be represented
by separate counsel or (ii) such Indemnitee has been indicted or otherwise
charged in a criminal complaint and such Indemnitee informs the Lessee that such
Indemnitee desires to be represented by separate counsel, the reasonable fees
and expenses of such separate counsel will be borne by the Lessee. Nothing in
this Section 6(c) shall be deemed to require an Indemnitee to contest any claim
or to assume responsibility for or control of any judicial proceeding with
respect thereto.
(d) Adjustment of Stipulated Loss Value and Termination Value. If
---------------------------------------------------------
any amount is paid by the Lessee to the Owner Participant pursuant to the
Indemnity Agreement, the percentages for Stipulated Loss Value and Termination
Value set forth in Exhibit B to the Lease and Schedule 1 to the Indemnity
Agreement shall be recomputed in the manner set forth in Section 3(e) of the
Lease.
(e) Survival of Indemnities. The representations, warranties,
-----------------------
indemnities and agreements of each of the parties provided for in this
Agreement, and each party's obligations under any and all thereof, shall survive
the payment of the commitments by the Owner Participant, the Original Loan
Participant, the Interim Refinancing Loan Participant, and the refinancing of
the Interim Refinancing Loan Certificate on the Refunding Date, the return of
the Aircraft and the expiration or other termination of this Agreement, the
Trust Agreement, the Indenture and the Lease but, as to such indemnities, only
with respect to losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, claims,
actions, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements caused by events occurring or
existing prior to or incurred in the process of or simultaneous with (i) the
return or disposition of the Aircraft under Section 5 or Section 15 of the
Lease, or (ii) the termination of the Lease or the Indenture or, if later, the
return of the Aircraft.
(f) Effect of Other Indemnities. The Lessee's obligations under the
----------------------------
indemnities provided for in this Agreement shall be those of a primary obligor
whether or not the person indemnified shall also be indemnified with respect to
the same matter under the terms of this Agreement, the Lease, the Indenture, the
Trust Agreement, or any other document or instrument, and the person seeking
indemnification from the Lessee pursuant to any provision of this Agreement may
proceed directly against the Lessee without first seeking to enforce any other
right of indemnification. Upon the payment in full by the Lessee of any
indemnity provided for under this Agreement, the Lessee
-43-
<PAGE>
shall be, to the extent permitted by law, subrogated to any right of the person
indemnified, other than with respect to any of such Indemnitee's insurance
policies or in connection with any indemnity claim the person indemnified may
have against the Owner Participant or the Lessor, in respect of the matter as to
which such indemnity was paid.
(g) Interest. The Lessee will pay to each Indemnitee on demand, to
---------
the extent permitted by applicable law, interest on any amount of indemnity not
paid when due pursuant to this Section 6 until the same shall be paid, at the
Past Due Rate.
(h) Continuing Obligations. Notwithstanding anything contained
-----------------------
herein or in any other Operative Document to the contrary, Lessor and the Owner
Participant shall retain any and all of their respective rights, and Lessee
shall continue to be fully responsible for all of its obligations, arising out
of or otherwise relating to any claims under any of the Original Documents which
are based upon any breach by Lessee prior to or on the Refunding Date (whether
or not such breach is known as of such Date) of any representation, warranty or
covenant of Lessee contained in any of the Original Documents.
Section 7. Representations, Warranties and Covenants. (a) The Owner
------------------------------------------
Participant represents and warrants that neither it nor anyone it has authorized
to act on its behalf has directly or indirectly offered any Certificate or
Certificates or any interest in and to the Indenture Estate or the Trust Estate
or any similar securities relating to the Aircraft for sale to, or solicited any
offer to acquire any of the same from, anyone. The Owner Participant represents
and warrants that its interest in and to the Trust Estate and the Trust
Agreement was acquired for its own account and was purchased and is presently
held for investment and not with a present view to any resale or distribution
thereof. The Owner Participant is not hereby deemed to have made any
representation that it will not at any time in the future resell or transfer
such interest.
(b) The Owner Trustee, in its individual capacity with respect to
clauses (i) through (xi) below and not in its individual capacity but solely as
Owner Trustee with respect to clause (xii) below, represents and warrants as of
the date hereof (except as otherwise provided) and as of the Refunding Date
that:
(i) neither the Owner Trustee (in its individual capacity and/or
as Owner Trustee) nor anyone it has authorized to act on its behalf has
directly or indirectly offered any Certificate or Pass Through Certificates
or any interest in and to the Indenture Estate or the Trust Estate or any
similar securities relating to the Aircraft for sale to, or solicited any
offer to acquire any of the same from, anyone;
-44-
<PAGE>
(ii) its chief executive office (as that term is used in Article
9 of the Uniform Commercial Code) is located at 1100 North Market Street,
Rodney Square North, Wilmington, Delaware, 19890-0001 and that it will give
the parties hereto at least 30 days' prior written notice of any change of
the location of such office;
(iii) no Lessor's Lien on any part of the Trust Estate or any part
of the Indenture Estate exists which was created, granted or assumed by the
Owner Trustee in its individual capacity or which resulted from claims
against the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity not related to the
transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents;
(iv) on the Delivery Date the Owner Trustee received whatever
title to the Aircraft that was conveyed to it by the Lessee, and to its
knowledge, the Owner Trustee has whatever title to the Aircraft that was
conveyed to it by the Lessee (it being understood that the Owner Trustee
shall not be deemed to have any such knowledge in the absence of actual
knowledge by one of its Responsible Officers);
(v) it is a banking corporation duly organized and validly
existing in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has
the corporate power and authority to carry on its present business and
operations and to enter into and perform its obligations under this
Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Indenture, the Lease and the
Certificates (the "Financing Documents");
(vi) assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of
the Trust Agreement by the Owner Participant, each of the Financing
Documents has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on its
part, and neither the execution and delivery thereof by the Owner Trustee
either in its individual capacity or as Owner Trustee nor its performance
of any of the terms and provisions thereof will require shareholder
approval or the approval or consent of any trustee or holder of any
indebtedness or obligation of the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity
or violate any Federal or State of Delaware law, rule or regulation
relating to its banking or trust powers or contravene or result in any
breach of, or constitute any default under its charter or by-laws or any
judgment or order binding on it or the provisions of any indenture,
mortgage, contract or other agreement to which it is a party or by which it
or its properties may be bound or affected or contravene any judgment or
order applicable or binding on it;
-45-
<PAGE>
(vii) assuming that the Trust Agreement will, on the Refunding
Date, constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Owner
Participant, the Trust Agreement will, on the Refunding Date, constitute
the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Owner Trustee in its
individual capacity, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to
applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other
similar laws or equitable principles affecting creditors' rights generally
from time to time in effect; with respect to each of the other Financing
Documents, to the best of its knowledge in reliance upon the advice of its
counsel, it has no reason to believe (assuming due authorization, execution
and delivery of each of such other Financing Documents by each of the
parties thereto other than the Owner Trustee (in its individual capacity
and/or as Owner Trustee, as the case may be) and that such other Financing
Documents will, on the Refunding Date, constitute the valid and legally
binding obligations of each of the parties thereto other than the Owner
Trustee) that each such other Financing Document will not, on the Refunding
Date, constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of the Owner
Trustee (in its individual capacity and/or as Owner Trustee, as the case
may be), enforceable against the Owner Trustee (in its individual capacity
and/or as Owner Trustee, as the case may be) in accordance with its terms;
(viii) there are no pending or, to the knowledge of the Owner
Trustee, threatened actions or proceedings against the Owner Trustee (in
its individual capacity and/or as Owner Trustee, as the case may be) before
any court, administrative agency or tribunal which, if determined adversely

as the case may be), would materially adversely affect the ability of the
Owner Trustee, individually or as Owner Trustee, as the case may be, to
perform its obligations under any of the Financing Documents to which it is
a party. The Owner Trustee has no actual knowledge of any pending or
threatened actions or proceedings before any court, administrative agency
or tribunal involving it in its capacity as Owner Trustee;
(ix) no consent, approval, order or authorization of, giving of
notice to, or registration with, or taking of any other action in respect
of, any governmental authority or agency of the State of Delaware or any
Federal governmental authority or agency of the United States of America
regulating the banking or trust powers of the Owner Trustee, in its
individual capacity is required for the execution and delivery of, or the
carrying out by, the Owner Trustee in its
-46-
<PAGE>
individual capacity or as Owner Trustee, as the case may be, of any of the
transactions contemplated hereby or by the Trust Agreement or of any of the
other Financing Documents, other than any such consent, approval, order,
authorization, registration, notice or action as has been duly obtained,
given or taken and is in full force and effect;
(x) there are no Lessor's Liens which constitute a Lien against
any or all of the Trust Estate or the Indenture Estate;
(xi) its representations and warranties set forth in Section 7 of
the Original Participation Agreement were correct on and as of the Delivery
Date (except to the extent that such representations expressly relate
solely to a specified earlier date, in which case such representations and
warranties were correct on and as of such earlier date); and
(xii) the Owner Trustee has whatever title to the Aircraft that
was conveyed to it by the Lessee.
(c) The Owner Participant represents and warrants that as of the
Refunding Date:
(i) it is a Citizen of the United States;
(ii) it is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and
has the requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement, the
Trust Agreement, the Indemnity Agreement and each document ancillary
thereto executed by the Owner Participant and delivered on or prior to the
Refunding Date (collectively, the "Owner Participant Documents") and to
carry out the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby;
(iii) it has duly authorized, executed and delivered the Owner
Participant Documents and, assuming due execution of such documents by the
other parties thereto, each of the Owner Participant Documents constitutes
a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Owner Participant, enforceable
against the Owner Participant in accordance with its terms except as such
enforceability may be limited by general equitable principles and by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar
laws affecting creditors' rights generally from time to time in effect and
assuming with respect to ERISA, the truth of the representations and
warranties made by the Lessee in Sections 6(a)(xix) and 6(a)(xx) and by the
Original Loan Participant in Section 7(e) of the Original
-47-
<PAGE>
Participation Agreement, and assuming compliance with Section 10.06 of the
Indenture and Section 6.06 of the Pass Through Agreement;
(iv) the execution, delivery and performance by the Owner
Participant of the Owner Participant Documents are not in violation of its
incorporation documents or by-laws or any indenture, mortgage, bank credit
agreement, note or bond purchase agreement, long-term lease, license or
other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it is
bound or order or judgment binding upon it or, assuming the truth of the
representations and warranties made by the Lessee in Sections 6(a)(xix) and

Loan Participant in Section 7(e) of the Original Participation Agreement,
and assuming compliance with Section 10.06 of the Indenture and Section
6.06 of the Pass Through Agreement, of any law or governmental rule or
regulation applicable to the Owner Participant;
(v) neither the execution and delivery by the Owner Participant
of any of the Owner Participant Documents nor the consummation by the Owner
Participant of any of the transactions contemplated thereby require the
Owner Participant to obtain the consent or approval of, give notice to, or
register with, or take any other action with respect to, any state or
federal agency or authority except such consents as have been obtained;

(h) The Owner Trustee, in its individual capacity, at its own cost
and expense (and at no after-tax cost to the Indenture Trustee, the Pass Through
Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant, any Holder, any Pass Through
Trust, the Trust Estate, the Indenture Estate and the Lessee), covenants that it
will in its individual capacity promptly take such action as may be necessary to
discharge duly any Lessor's Liens attributable
-51-
<PAGE>
to it in its individual capacity and will personally hold harmless and indemnify
each Holder, the Pass Through Trustee, the Lessee, the Owner Participant, the
Indenture Trustee, the Trust Estate, the Indenture Estate, the Pass Through
Trusts and their respective successors, assigns, servants, representatives and
agents against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
claims, actions, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements, including fees and
expenses, of whatsoever kind and nature and against any reduction in the amount
payable out of the Trust Estate, the Indenture Estate, or the Pass Through
Trusts and against any interference with the possession, operation, or other use
of the Aircraft, Airframe, any Engine or any Part, imposed on, incurred by or
asserted against any of the foregoing as a consequence of any such Lessor's
Lien. The Owner Trustee, in its trust capacity, and at the cost and expense of
the Lessee, covenants that it will, in its trust capacity, promptly take such
action as may be necessary to discharge duly any Lessor's Liens attributable to
it in its trust capacity. The Indenture Trustee, in its individual capacity, at
its own cost and expense (and at no after-tax cost to the Indenture Trustee, the
Pass Through Trustee, Owner Trustee, Owner Participant, any Holder, the Trust
Estate, the Indenture Estate, any Pass Through Trust or the Lessee), covenants
that it will in its individual capacity promptly take such action as may be

hold harmless and indemnify each Holder, the Pass Through Trustee, the Lessee,
the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee, the Trust Estate, the Indenture

(i) The Owner Trustee covenants that it will neither incur any
indebtedness for money borrowed nor enter into any business or other activity
except as contemplated by the Operative Documents.
(j) If (i) all or any part of the Trust Estate becomes the
property of a debtor subject to the reorganization provisions of the Bankruptcy
Code, (ii) pursuant to such reorganization provisions, including Section 1111(b)
of the Bankruptcy Code, the Owner Participant is required, by reason of the
Owner Trustee in its individual capacity or the Owner Participant being held to
have recourse liability to the Indenture Trustee or any Holder (other than as
contemplated by the Operative Documents), directly or indirectly, to make
payment on account of any amount payable as principal, premium, interest or
other amounts on the Certificates,
-52-
<PAGE>
and (iii) the Indenture Trustee actually receives any Excess Amount, as defined
below, which reflects any payment by the Owner Participant on account of clause
(ii) above, then the Indenture Trustee, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, shall promptly refund to the Owner Participant such Excess Amount. The
Indenture Trustee hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by law the
benefit of the provisions of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect
to recourse against the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity and the Owner
Participant on account of any amounts payable as principal premium, interest or
other amounts pursuant to the Certificates. For purposes of this Section 7(j),
"Excess Amount" means the amount by which such payment exceeds the amount which
would have been received by the Indenture Trustee if the Owner Trustee, in its
individual capacity, or the Owner Participant had not become subject to the
recourse liability referred to in clause (ii) above. Nothing contained in this
Section 7(j) shall prevent the Indenture Trustee from enforcing any personal
recourse obligation (and retaining the proceeds thereof) of the Owner
Participant under this Participation Agreement or the Indenture or the Trust
Agreement (and any exhibits or annexes thereto) or from retaining any amount
paid by the Owner Participant under Sections 5.01, 8.02 and 8.03 of the
Indenture. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as requiring any Holder
or holder of a Pass Through Certificate to refund any amount distributed to it
pursuant to the Indenture or the Pass Through Agreement, respectively.
(k) The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 7
shall survive the Closings hereunder.
Section 8. Other Documents. (a) The Lessee hereby consents in all
----------------
respects to the execution and delivery of the Trust Agreement and the Indenture
and to all of the terms thereof, and the Lessee acknowledges receipt of an
executed counterpart of the Trust Agreement and the Indenture; it being agreed
that such consent shall not be construed to require the Lessee's consent to any
future supplement to, or amendment, waiver or modification of the terms of, the
Trust Agreement, the Indenture, the Pass Through Certificates or the
Certificates, except that none of the provisions of Articles I and VII, Sections
2.04, 3.03, 3.05, 3.07, 3.09, 5.08, 5.09, 9.08, 9.09, 9.10, 10.06, 13.01, 13.06,
and 15.05 and Exhibit B of the Indenture shall be amended or modified without
the consent of the Lessee and except, in the case of the Trust Agreement, in
accordance with Section 11.01 of the Trust Agreement.
(b) The Owner Participant hereby consents in all respects to all the
terms of the Lease as entered into on the Refunding Date by the Owner Trustee
pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Trust Agreement. The Lessee hereby confirms to
the Owner Participant as of the Refunding Date its covenants set forth in and
obligations under the Lease. The Lessee agrees, for the benefit of the parties
hereto, to perform its obligations under the Pass Through Agreement.
-53-
<PAGE>
(c) Each of the Owner Participant and the Owner Trustee hereby agrees
with the Lessee and, so long as the Lien of the Indenture shall be in effect,
agrees with the Indenture Trustee and the Pass Through Trustee (i) not to
terminate or revoke the trust created by the Trust Agreement (the "Trust") or to
terminate any other Operative Document in violation of the terms thereof and
(ii) not to amend, supplement or otherwise modify any provision of (A) Article
IX or X of the Trust Agreement or (B) any other provision of the Trust Agreement
in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of such party, without the
prior written consent of such party. Nothing in the next preceding sentence
shall impair any right under the Trust Agreement of the Owner Trustee in its
individual capacity to resign as Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant's rights
arising from Article VII of the Indenture. The provisions of Sections 5.01,
11.01, 12.01, 12.03 and 12.04 of the Trust Agreement are incorporated herein, as
if fully set forth herein.
(d) The Owner Trustee or any successor may resign or be removed by
the Owner Participant, a successor Owner Trustee may be appointed, and a
corporation may become the Owner Trustee under the Trust Agreement, only in
accordance with the provisions of Article X of the Trust Agreement. So long as
no Event of Default shall be continuing, no successor Owner Trustee shall be
appointed unless the Owner Participant shall in good faith have consulted with
the Lessee as to such appointment. The Owner Participant agrees to appoint as
promptly as Practicable a successor Owner Trustee if the Owner Participant shall
have knowledge that the Owner Trustee is not in compliance with its covenants
herein.
(e) Notwithstanding the fact that this Agreement, the Lease, the
Indenture, the Indemnity Agreement and the Trust Agreement are dated as of March
1, 1996, such documents are effective on the Refunding Date and each amend and
restate the respective original agreements with no intention of retroactive
application. Such original agreements have been restated for the convenience of
the parties and such amendments and restatements are not intended to waive or
modify the obligations or liabilities of any party which accrued or were to have
been performed on or prior to the Refunding Date under such unamended agreements
or to deprive any party of its rights and remedies in respect thereof.
(f) The Lessee and the Pass Through Trustee hereby agree that Section
11.08 of the Pass Through Agreement (to the extent relating to the Certificates)
shall not be amended without the prior written consent of the Owner Participant,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(g) The Pass Through Trustee hereby agrees that, except as otherwise
required by applicable law (including, without limitation, any law which
requires the Pass Through Trustee to act within its own discretion), if
requested to do so by the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant, the Pass
Through Trustee shall, at the expense of the Owner Participant, request a
direction,
-54-
<PAGE>
consent or waiver from the relevant Certificateholders (as defined in the Pass
Through Agreement) to determine whether action already taken by the Pass Through
Trustee should be rescinded, or action not yet taken by the Pass Through Trustee
should be taken, pursuant to the Operative Documents. The Pass Through Trustee
shall be under no obligation to request such direction, consent or waiver
pursuant to this paragraph (g) at the request of the Owner Trustee or Owner
Participant unless the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant, as the case may
be, shall have offered to the Pass Through Trustee reasonable security or
indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by
the Pass Through Trustee in connection with the Pass Through Trustee making such
request pursuant to this paragraph (g); provided however, that such requests of
the Owner Participant shall be at no cost to the Owner Participant if such
direction, consent or waiver is otherwise required by the Operative Documents.
Section 9. Benefits of Certain Obligations. Sections 3(d) and 23 and
--------------------------------
the final paragraph of Section 3(a) of the Lease (as the same may be amended
from time to time in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Lease and
the Indenture) are hereby incorporated herein by reference for the express
benefit of the Indenture Trustee, the Holders and the Pass Through Trustee.
Section 15.05 of the Indenture (as the same may be amended from time to time in
accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture and this Agreement)
is hereby incorporated herein by reference for the express benefit of the
Lessee.

------------------------------------------------------
Trustee. The Owner Participant shall have no obligation or duty to the Lessee,
- -------
to the Original Loan Participant, to the Interim Refinancing Loan Participant,
to the Owner Trustee, to the Pass Through Trustee, to the Indenture Trustee or
to others with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, except those
obligations or duties of the Owner Participant expressly set forth in this
Agreement and the Trust Agreement and the Owner Participant shall not be liable
for performance by any other party hereto of such other party's obligations or
duties hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, under no
circumstances whatsoever shall the Owner Participant, as such, be liable to the
Lessee nor shall the Owner Participant be liable to any Holder, to the Original
Loan Participant, to the Interim Refinancing Loan Participant or to the Pass
Through Trustee for any action or inaction on the part of the Owner Trustee or
the Indenture Trustee in connection with the Indenture, the Trust Agreement, the
Lease, the Aircraft, the administration of the Indenture Estate or the Trust
Estate or otherwise, whether or not such action or inaction is caused by the
negligence or willful misconduct of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee,
unless, in the case of willful misconduct by the Owner Trustee, if such action
or inaction is in accordance
-55-
<PAGE>
with the express direction of the Owner Participant. The Indenture Trustee
agrees that (i) obligations of the Owner Trustee under the Indenture or any
other Operative Document and with respect to the Certificates shall be non-
recourse to the Owner Participant and to the Owner Trustee in its individual
capacity and (ii) it will look solely to the income and proceeds from the Trust
Estate (which does not include Excepted Payments (as defined in the Indenture))
to the extent available for distribution to the Indenture Trustee or the
relevant Holder as provided in the Indenture and that neither the Owner
Participant nor the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity shall be personally
liable to such Holder for any amounts payable by the Owner Trustee under the
Indenture or any other Operative Document. The foregoing is not intended to
limit any liability of the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee in its
individual capacity to the extent that such liability is expressly set forth in
any of the Operative Documents.
The Indenture Trustee is not personally liable to the Owner
Participant or any Holder for any amounts payable under the Indenture or for any
liability under the Indenture, except as provided therein.
Section 12. Covenants of the Lessee. The Lessee covenants and agrees

with the Owner Participant, the Indenture Trustee, the Pass Through Trustee and
the Owner Trustee as follows (which agreements shall be performed at Lessee's
cost and expense):
(a) The Lessee will cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and
delivered each and every further act, conveyance and assurance as the Owner
Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Pass Through Trustee or the Owner
Participant shall reasonably require for accomplishing the purposes of this
Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Indenture and the Lease. Lessee, except as

recording, filing, rerecording and refiling of the Lease, the Trust Agreement
and the Indenture and the supplements thereto as is necessary to maintain the
interests and rights of the Owner Trustee in and to the Aircraft and under the
Lease and the perfection of the security interests created by the Indenture and
shall furnish to the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee such information
(other than with respect to the citizenship of the Owner Participant and the
Owner Trustee) as may be required to enable the Owner Participant or the Owner
Trustee to make application for such registration under the Act, and shall
promptly furnish to the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee such information
(other than with respect to the citizenship of Owner Participant and the Owner
Trustee) as may be required to enable the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee
timely to file any reports required to be filed by it as the Lessor under the
Lease (or, in the case of the Owner Participant,
-56-
<PAGE>
as the beneficiary of the Trust Estate) with any governmental authority because
of the Owner Trustee's ownership of the Aircraft or the Owner Participant's
interest in the Trust Estate.
(b) The Lessee will cause the Lease, the Trust Agreement, the
Indenture and the Trust Indenture and Trust Agreement Supplement to be promptly
filed and recorded or filed for recording, to the extent permitted under the

except as permitted by Section 12(d) hereof. The Lessee will do or cause to be
done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its
rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that the
-------- -------
Lessee shall not be required to preserve any right or franchise if the Lessee
shall reasonably determine that the loss thereof will not adversely affect the
rights of the Owner Participant or the Holders, or the Lessee's ability to
perform its obligations under the Operative Documents. The Lessee shall at all
times remain an "air carrier" within the meaning of the Act operating under a
certificate of public convenience and necessity issued pursuant to Section 401
thereof and shall at all times be otherwise certified and registered to the
extent necessary to fall within the purview of and to provide to Lessor (and to
the Indenture Trustee as assignee of Lessor's rights under the Lease) the
benefits contemplated by Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor
provisions thereto.
(d) The Lessee shall not (i) consolidate with or merge into any other
corporation under circumstances in which the Lessee is not the surviving
corporation or (ii) convey, transfer or lease substantially all of its assets as
an entirety to any Person (which term, for the purposes of this Section 12(d),
means any individual, corporation, partnership, joint venture, association,
joint-stock company, trust, unincorporated organization or government or any
agency or political subdivision thereof), unless:
(i) the corporation formed by such consolidation or into which
the Lessee is merged or the Person which acquired by conveyance, transfer
or lease substantially all of the assets of the Lessee as an entirety shall
be a Citizen of the United States, an "air carrier" within the meaning of
the Act operating under a certificate issued under Section 401 of the Act
and a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United
States of America or any State or the District of Columbia, and shall
execute and deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Pass Through Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee an agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and
substance to the Owner Trustee, the
-57-
<PAGE>
Indenture Trustee, the Pass Through Trustee and the Owner Participant
containing an effective assumption by such successor corporation of the due
and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition of
this Agreement, the Lease, the Purchase Agreement, the Purchase Agreement
Assignment, the Indemnity Agreement and each other Operative Document to
which the Lessee is a party to be performed or observed by the Lessee
(which agreement shall include an undertaking to cure as promptly as
practicable any Event of Default or Default on the date of such merger,
consolidation, conveyance, transfer or lease, as the case may be);
(ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(iii) the Lessee shall have delivered to the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee, the Pass Through Trustee and the Owner Participant an
opinion of Lessee's general counsel or other counsel satisfactory to the
Owner Trustee, the Pass Through Trustee, the Owner Participant and the
Indenture Trustee, and an officer's certificate, each stating that such
consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease and the assumption
agreement mentioned in clause (i) above comply with this Section 12(d) and
that all conditions precedent relating to such transaction have been
complied with and that such assumption agreement has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by, and constitutes a legal, valid and binding
agreement of, such person enforceable against such person in accordance
with its terms and that the succeeding entity is a Citizen of the United
States and an "air carrier" within the meaning of the Act operating under a
certificate issued under Section 401 of the Act; and
(iv) the corporation formed by such consolidation or into which
the Lessee is merged or the Person which acquired by conveyance, transfer
or lease substantially all of the assets of the Lessee as an entirety,
shall make such filings and recordings with the FAA pursuant to the Act or
under the laws of any other jurisdiction in which the Aircraft may then be
registered, as shall be necessary or reasonably desirable to evidence such
consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease with or to such entity
in order to protect the interests of the Owner Participant, the Holders,
the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee in the Aircraft, the Trust
Estate and the Indenture Estate.
-58-
<PAGE>
Upon any consolidation or merger, or any conveyance, transfer or lease
of all or substantially all the assets of the Lessee as an entirety in
accordance with this Section 12(d), the successor corporation formed by such
consolidation or the person into which the Lessee is merged or to which such
conveyance, transfer or lease is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for,
and may exercise every right and power of, the Lessee under this Agreement with
the same effect as if such successor corporation or such person, as the case may
be, had been named as the Lessee herein. No such conveyance, transfer or lease
of all or substantially all of the assets of the Lessee as an entirety shall
have the effect of releasing the Lessee or any successor corporation which shall
theretofore have become such in the manner prescribed in this Section 12(d) from
its liability hereunder or under the Operative Documents. Nothing contained
herein shall permit any lease, sublease or other arrangement for the use,
operation or possession of the Aircraft except in compliance with the applicable
provisions of the Lease.
(e) The Lessee also agrees to furnish following the date of this
Agreement to the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant, the Pass Through Trustee
and the Indenture Trustee (i) within two months after the end of the first,
second and third quarterly accounting periods in each fiscal year of the Lessee,

prepared by it as of the close of the accounting period then ended, together
with the related consolidated statements of income, common stockholders' equity
and cash flows for the quarter then ended and reinvested earnings for such
accounting period certified by the chief accounting officer or a financial vice
president of the Lessee, (ii) within three months after the close of each fiscal
year of the Lessee, a consolidated balance sheet of the Lessee as of the close

copies of all regular and periodic reports furnished by the Lessee to its
stockholders, (iv) promptly after filing with the SEC, copies of the Lessee's
annual reports on Form 10-K (including all corresponding annual reports to
shareholders), quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K,
including any amendments of such reports, (v) immediate telephonic advice after
the Lessee obtains knowledge that there exists an Event of Default, confirmed
promptly by an officer's certificate describing such default in reasonable
detail, with a statement of the Lessee's action with respect thereto taken or
proposed to be taken and (vi) from time to time such other information as the
Owner Trustee, the Pass Through Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner
Participant may reasonably request. The Lessee's obligations pursuant to clauses
(i) and (ii) of the foregoing sentence any may be satisfied by furnishing to the
Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant, the Pass Through Trustee and the Indenture
Trustee
-59-

reviewed the relevant terms of this Agreement and the Lease and has made, or
caused to be made under his supervision, a review of the transactions and

have knowledge of the existence as at the date of such certificate, of any
condition or event which constitutes an Event of Default, or, if any such
condition or event existed or exists, specifying the nature and period of
existence thereof and what action the Lessee has taken or is taking or proposes
to take with respect thereto.

-----------------------
Lessee that the Owner Trustee is the owner of the Aircraft and the Lessee will

The Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee and the Lessee acknowledge
that the percentages for Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss Value, Termination Value
and the calculation of the EBO Percentage, set forth in the Lease, have been
prepared assuming the aggregate amount payable by the Owner Participant pursuant
to the preceding paragraph, Section 14 of the Original Participation Agreement
and Section 10 of the First Amendment to Participation Agreement is $___________
(the "Estimated Expense Amount"). If the amount of the expenses paid by the
Owner Participant is less than the Estimated Expense Amount, the Owner
Participant shall pay all costs, fees and expenses of the Owner Trustee in
connection with the administration of the Trust Estate until such time as the
amount paid by the Owner Participant pursuant to the preceding paragraph and the
costs, fees and expenses of the Owner Trustee paid by the Owner Participant
equals the Estimated Expense Amount. If the amount of the expenses is greater
than the Estimated Expense Amount, the excess shall be paid by the Lessee on
behalf of the Owner Participant as Supplemental Rent on an after-tax basis.
Notwithstanding the provisions of the first paragraph of this Section
14(a), the Lessee agrees to pay as Supplemental Rent all reasonable costs, fees
and expenses of the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee, the Pass Through
Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, including, without limitation, the item
enumerated in the first paragraph of this Section 14(a), if the transactions
contemplated hereby fail to close for any reason; provided, however, that if
such failure to close is solely caused by the wrongful failure of the Owner
Participant to close, after satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth
herein to participation in the transactions contemplated hereby, the Lessee
shall have no obligation to the Owner Participant to cover the expenses incurred
by the Owner Participant (including the fees of Dewey Ballantine, special
counsel to the Owner Participant), it being understood that nothing hereunder
shall affect the Lessee's right to initiate an action at law to recover damages
from the Owner Participant with respect to all amounts paid by the Lessee
pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 14(a).
The Owner Participant shall pay, to the extent it has not already done
so, all amounts payable by it pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Original
Participation Agreement and Section 10 of the First Amendment to Participation
Agreement.
(b) The Lessee shall pay:
(i) subject to Section 14(a) hereof, all its own costs, fees
and expenses in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and by
the Original Participation Agreement and the First Amendment to
Participation Agreement, including, but not limited to, the fees, expenses
and disbursements of King & Spalding, special counsel for the Lessee;
-61-
<PAGE>
(ii) subject to the second sentence of the second paragraph of
Section 14(a), as Supplemental Rent all reasonable out-of-pocket costs,
fees and expenses of the Owner Trustee, the Pass Through Trustee, FSC and
of the Indenture Trustee (other than the initial fees, expenses and
disbursements referred to in the first paragraph of Section 14(a) hereof
and Section 14(a) (iii) of the Original Participation Agreement) in
connection with the administration of the Indenture Estate, the Trust
Estate, the Pass Through Trusts or the activities of FSC;
(iii) to the extent not already paid, as Supplemental Rent, all
reasonable out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses of the parties hereto (or
their predecessors in interest) incurred in connection with the attempt in
September/October 1994 to refund amounts payable by the Owner Trustee to
the Original Loan Participant; and
(iv) as Supplemental Rent, on an after-tax basis (except that the
Owner Participant shall not be entitled, pursuant to this Agreement, to be
reimbursed for the tax cost of any such payment of Supplemental Rent to the
extent provision for such reimbursement is made in the Indemnity
Agreement), all reasonable costs, fees and expenses of the Owner
Participant, the Owner Trustee, the Pass Through Trustee and the Indenture
Trustee in connection with any supplements, amendments, modifications or
consents to, or waivers of, any of the Operative Documents entered into
after the Refunding Date, unless such supplements, amendments,
modifications, consents or waivers are initiated by a party other than the
Lessee and are not required or necessary to effectuate the intent of any
provisions of the Operative Documents.
Section 15. Miscellaneous. (a) This Agreement may be executed in any

Through Trustee is entering into this Agreement solely as trustee as provided in
the Trust Agreement, the Indenture, the Pass Through Agreement and each Series
Supplement and not in its individual capacity (except as otherwise expressly
provided herein or therein) and in no case whatsoever shall any of them be
liable in its individual capacity for any of the statements, representations,
warranties, agreements or obligations of the Owner Trustee, the Pass Through
Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, in its trust capacity
hereunder, or for any loss in respect thereof, as to all of which the parties

-63-
<PAGE>

Lease, or Section 3.02 of the Trust Agreement, or (e) for any liability on the
part of the Owner Trustee arising out of its negligence or willful or negligent
misconduct in connection with its obligations under Sections 6.01, 6.06 or 10.02
of the Trust Agreement or Section 3.05(b)(iii) of the Indenture. The Indenture
Trustee and the Owner Trustee, in their individual capacities, each accepts the
benefits of the indemnification granted, and the representations and warranties

(e) This Agreement, all other Operative Documents and all documents
relating hereto, including, without limitation, (1) consents, waivers and
modifications which may hereafter be executed and (2) financial statements,
certificates and other information previously or hereafter furnished to any
party hereto, may be reproduced by such party by any photographic, photostatic,

shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or
administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in existence and
whether or not such reproduction was made by such party in the regular course of
business) and any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such
reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence.
(f) The captions in this Agreement are for convenience of reference
only and shall not define or limit any of the terms or provisions hereof.
(g) (A) Each of the Lessee, the Owner Trustee in its individual
capacity and the Indenture Trustee in its individual capacity agrees that it
will, for purposes of Section 101(16) of the Act, immediately upon obtaining
actual knowledge of any facts which would cast doubt upon its continuing status
as a Citizen of the United States and promptly upon public disclosure of
negotiations in respect of any transaction which would or might adversely affect
such status, notify in writing all parties hereto of all relevant matters in
connection therewith.
(B) The Owner Participant agrees that, for purposes of Section
101(16) of the Act, in the event its status is to change as a Citizen of the
United States, or it makes public disclosure of circumstances as a result of
which it believes that such status is likely to change, it will notify in
writing all parties hereto of (i) such change in status promptly after obtaining
knowledge thereof or (ii) such belief as soon as practicable after such public
disclosure but in any event within ten Business Days after such public
disclosure.
-64-
<PAGE>
(C) If the Owner Trustee shall at any time obtain knowledge of any
facts which would cast reasonable doubt upon the continuing status of the Owner
Trustee in its individual capacity as a Citizen of the United States, it shall
immediately resign as Owner Trustee, and the Owner Participant shall as promptly
as practicable, and after consulting with the Lessee, appoint a Citizen of the
United States as successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 10.01 of the Trust
Agreement.
(D) If the Owner Participant shall, at any time while the Aircraft is
registered in the United States, cease to be a Citizen of the United States (if
and so long as such citizenship is necessary under the Act to permit the U.S.
registration of the Aircraft (it being understood that the evidence of any such
requirement shall he determined without giving consideration to any provision of
the Act (or any superseding statute) which permits United States registration of
an Aircraft based on conditions which impose restrictions on the location and
use of the Aircraft or otherwise restrict the ability of an air carrier to
operate the Aircraft in the ordinary course of its business)), the Owner
Participant shall immediately at its own expense either (X) take such action as
may be required to maintain the U.S. registration of or, in the case of
reregistration, to reregister the Aircraft and (to the extent such recordation
is dependent on the U.S. registration of the Aircraft) the recordation with the
FAA of the Indenture, Lease and any Lease Supplement (which may, if the U.S.
registration of the Aircraft is thereby maintained or reregistration is thereby
permitted, include the use of a voting trust or other similar arrangements in
which event the provisions contained herein restricting the Owner Participant's
or the Owner Trustee's ability to amend the Trust Agreement shall not apply to
the extent necessary to permit the use of such a voting trust or other similar
arrangement), or (Y) transfer, in accordance with Section 16 hereof and Article
IX of the Trust Agreement, its right, title and interest in and to the Trust
Agreement, the Trust Estate and this Agreement or (Z) take such other action as
may be necessary to prevent the Lessee or the Indenture Trustee from being
adversely affected (in the context of the transactions contemplated hereby) as a
result of such cessation of citizenship. If the Owner Participant shall fail to
comply with any of clauses (X), (Y) or (Z), then so long as such failure shall
thereafter continue the Owner Participant shall be obligated to reimburse the
Lessee for any additional costs and expenses or loss of income which the Lessee
shall thereafter actually incur with respect to the Aircraft due to such change
in citizenship of the Owner Participant (but the Lessee shall not be entitled to
receive such reimbursement so long as an Event of Default or a Payment Default
shall have occurred and be continuing or if the Owner Participant shall have
complied with any of clauses (X), (Y) or (Z) within 10 days after a Responsible
Officer of the Owner Participant has actual knowledge of the facts requiring
such actions). If the Lessee has reregistered the Aircraft outside the United
States and decides thereafter to reregister the Aircraft under the Act, the
Lessee shall notify the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee, and
-65-
<PAGE>
the Indenture Trustee of its decision and the date as of which the
reregistration is proposed to be effective. If the Owner Participant shall, at
the time when the Aircraft is proposed to be reregistered under the Act, not be
a Citizen of the United States and such citizenship is necessary under the Act
to permit the registration or reregistration of the Aircraft under the Act;
without giving consideration to any provision of the Act which permits United
States registration of an aircraft based on conditions which impose restrictions
on the location and use of the Aircraft or otherwise restrict the ability of an
air carrier to operate the Aircraft in the ordinary course of its business, the
Owner Participant shall promptly, at its own expense, comply with any of clauses
(X), (Y) or (Z) of this paragraph (D) and, if it shall fail to do so, reimburse
the Lessee for any additional costs and expenses or loss of income which the
Lessee shall thereafter actually incur with respect to the Aircraft due to the
Owner Participant not being a Citizen of the United States; provided, however,
that (x) the Lessee shall not be entitled to receive such reimbursement so long
as an Event of Default or a Payment Default shall have occurred and be
continuing and (y) the Owner Participant shall not be obligated to reimburse the
Lessee pursuant to this sentence if the Owner Participant has complied with any
of clauses (X), (Y) or (Z) of this paragraph (D) within the later of (1) the
date as of which reregistration of the Aircraft is to be effective and (2) sixty
(60) days following the receipt by the Owner Participant of the Lessee's notice
of its intention to reregister the Aircraft under the Act. In each such case
described in this paragraph (D), the Lessee shall use reasonable efforts to
minimize its loss of income or damages but shall be under no obligation to
sublease the Aircraft or reregister the Aircraft in another jurisdiction.
(E) The Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture
Trustee shall be required to give the notice and take the action specified in
paragraphs (A), (B), (C) and (D) of this Section 15(g) only if a Responsible
Officer of such Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee,
as the case may be, shall have actual knowledge of the facts requiring the
giving of such notice or the taking of such action.
(h) Anything contained in this Agreement, the Indenture, the Trust
Agreement or the Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, the Owner Participant
hereby agrees to assume liability for, and does hereby indemnify and agree to
protect, defend, save and keep harmless each Holder and its respective
successors, assigns, agents and servants, from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits,
costs, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable legal fees and expenses
but excluding internal costs and expenses, including, without limitation,
overhead and salaries) to the extent caused by any impairment or claimed
impairment of the perfection or rank of the Lien of the Indenture on the
Indenture Estate or any portion thereof (except when such impairment arises from
Lessor's Liens, Indenture Trustee's Liens
-66-
<PAGE>
or Liens which the Lessee is required to remove under the terms of the Lease),
resulting directly and solely from the failure of the Lessee to maintain the
registration of the Aircraft under the Act when (i) the lapse of such
registration or (ii) the inability to reregister under the Act when Lessee is
requesting such registration or an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing is solely because the Owner Participant has ceased to be a Citizen of
the United States.
(i) Subject to the requirements and conditions precedent of the
Operative Documents and applicable law, the parties hereto and each of the them
agree, from time to time, to execute, acknowledge and deliver such other
documents or instruments, and to do or cause to be done such other acts or
things as any other party hereto may reasonably request, that may be necessary
or desirable to effect the transactions contemplated herein (including without
limitation in connection with any refunding pursuant to Section 20 hereof, the
execution, delivery and/or provision of any appropriate additional or modified
amendment, representation, warranty, certificate, opinion or other document that
may reasonably be requested by the Lessee or any other person). The Lessee
hereby agrees to pay on an after-tax basis all reasonable fees and out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture
Trustee in accordance with this Section 15(i).
Section 16. Assignment By the Owner Participant. (a) Prior to the
------------------------------------
termination or expiration of the Lease (or, if later, until the Lien of the
Indenture is discharged), the Owner Participant will not sell, assign, transfer
or otherwise dispose of its rights (whether separately or in connection with any
transaction contemplated by the immediately following paragraph) as the Owner
Participant except in compliance with Sections 9.01 and 9.02 of the Trust
Agreement, the terms and provisions of which are incorporated herein by
reference.
(b) If there is a merger or consolidation of the Owner Participant
and the resulting corporation (the "New Corporation") is an airline operating
regularly scheduled commercial jet passenger or cargo transport service on
domestic United States routes or an Affiliate of such an airline and the Lessee
does not approve of the New Corporation as the Transferee of the Owner
Participant, the Lessee shall have the right (provided that it shall have given
the Owner Participant notice of its disapproval within 60 days of receiving
notice of such merger or consolidation) to require that the Owner Participant or
the New Corporation, as the case may be, transfer to Lessee as hereinafter
provided, in accordance with Article IX of the Trust Agreement all of its right,
title and interest in and to the Trust Agreement, the Trust Estate and this
Agreement. If the Owner Participant or the New Corporation does not comply with
the preceding sentence on or prior to the 180th day following the giving of
notice of the Lessee to the Owner Participant or the New Corporation of the
Lessee's disapproval of the New Corporation as the Transferee of
-67-
<PAGE>
the Owner Participant, the Lessee may make one of the following elections:
(i) The Lessee may purchase the Aircraft, and direct the Owner
Trustee to give notice of prepayment of the Certificates pursuant to Section
6.02(E) of the Indenture, for an amount equal to (a) whichever shall be the
greatest of (x) Stipulated Loss Value for the Aircraft, (y) Fair Market Value of
the Aircraft unencumbered by the Lease and (z) Fair Market Value of the Aircraft
subject to the Lease, in any such case computed as of the date of purchase in
accordance with the Lease, plus (b) the installment of Basic Rent, if any, due
on such date, if such installment is designated on Exhibit D to the Lease as
payable in arrears, plus (c) any other amounts of Basic Rent for the Aircraft
which shall be due and unpaid, plus (d) any premium payable with respect to the
Certificates pursuant to the Indenture, and (e) all other amounts, whether
Supplemental Rent or otherwise, owing by the Lessee to the Owner Trustee, the
Owner Participant, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders under any of the
Operative Documents and provided that such purchase shall be effected by the
--------
Lessee's payment to the Indenture Trustee of such amounts, and such monies shall
be applied by the Indenture Trustee as provided in Section 5.02 of the
Indenture; or
(ii) the Lessee shall have the right to purchase all of the Owner
Participant's right, title and interest in and to the Trust Agreement, the Trust
Estate and this Agreement. The purchase price for the Owner Participant's right,
title and interest in and to the Trust Agreement, the Trust Estate and this
Agreement shall be (a) whichever shall be the greatest of (x) Stipulated Loss
Value for the Aircraft, (y) Fair Market Value of the Aircraft unencumbered by
the Lease and (z) Fair Market Value of the Aircraft subject to the Lease, in any
such case computed as of the date of purchase (the "Purchase Date") in
accordance with the Lease plus (b) the installment of Basic Rent, if any, due on
such date if such installment is designated on Exhibit D of the Lease as payable
in arrears, plus (c) any other amounts of Basic Rent for the Aircraft which
shall be due and unpaid plus (d) all other amounts, whether Supplemental Rent,
or otherwise, owing by the Lessee to the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee
under any of the Operative Documents less (e) the principal amount of the
Certificates outstanding on the Purchase Date (the "Purchase Price"). As a
condition to such purchase, the Lessee shall, on the Purchase Date, deliver to
the Indenture Trustee an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Indenture Trustee stating that, notwithstanding such purchase, this Agreement,
the Trust
-68-
<PAGE>
Agreement and the Lease remain valid and binding obligations of the Lessee
enforceable against the Lessee, as Lessee or as successor in interest to
the Owner Participant, as the case may be, in accordance with their terms
and that the Indenture and the Certificates remain valid and binding
obligations of the parties thereto, enforceable in accordance with their
terms and the Indenture creates a valid first priority Lien on the
Aircraft, (or if unable to deliver such opinion, the Lessee shall effect
amendments to the Operative Documents and the execution of such new
agreements as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee to
cause the indebtedness represented by the Certificates to be a direct and
full recourse obligation of the Lessee secured by a first priority security
interest in the Indenture Estate (as modified by such agreements and
amendments) and the Lessee shall deliver, or shall cause to be delivered,
such certificates, legal opinions and other documentary evidence as shall
be reasonably requested by the Indenture Trustee as necessary or advisable
to effect such agreements and amendments), and shall pay the Purchase Price
to the Owner Participant in immediately available funds and shall execute
and deliver appropriate documentation, satisfactory to the Owner
Participant, releasing the Owner Participant from all future obligations
and liabilities in respect of the Certificates, the Indenture and all other
Operative Documents, to the extent that such obligations and liabilities
arise after such transfer and do not in any way relate to events or
circumstances occurring during the time that the Owner Participant held its
right, title and interest in and to the Trust Agreement, the properties of
the Owner Trustee pledged or mortgaged as part of the Indenture Estate; the
Participation Agreement, as amended, or the Indemnity Agreement, as
amended, for which the Owner Participant would be responsible and would not
otherwise be indemnified by the Lessee, and the Owner Participant shall, by
written instrument satisfactory to the Lessee and the Indenture Trustee,
convey all of its right, title and interest to the Trust Agreement, the
Trust Estate and this Agreement without representation or warranty, except
as to the absence of Owner Participant's Liens. It is understood and agreed
among the parties hereto that the transaction contemplated by this
paragraph shall not effect a merger of the Lessee's interest, as lessee, in
the Lease and the beneficial interest in the Trust Estate to be acquired by
the Lessee.
(c) If the Lessee elects to purchase the Aircraft under Section 5(b)
of the Lease on the EBO Date, it shall elect, in its sole discretion, (A) to
direct the Owner Trustee to give notice of prepayment of the Certificates
pursuant to Section 6.02(E) of the
-69-
<PAGE>
Indenture or (B)(1) to effect amendments to the Operative Documents and the
execution of such new agreements as shall be reasonably satisfactory to (x) the
Indenture Trustee to cause the indebtedness represented by the Certificates to
be a direct and full recourse obligation of the Lessee secured by a first
priority security interest in the Indenture Estate (as modified by such
agreements and amendments) and (y) the Owner Participant releasing the Owner
Trustee and the Owner Participant from any and all further liability under or in
respect of the Certificates, the Indenture, the Operative Documents and any such
new agreements and (2) to deliver, or cause to be delivered, such agreements,
certificates, legal opinions and other documentary evidence as shall be
reasonably requested by the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Participant as
necessary or advisable to effect such release, agreements and amendments.
(d) The Lessee will pay all reasonable costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) of the Indenture Trustee, the
Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee and the Pass Through Trustee in connection
with any purchase pursuant to this Section 16.
Section 17. Confidentiality. No party hereto will itself
----------------
intentionally disclose, directly or indirectly, any information (i) obtained
from the Lessee hereunder or in connection herewith or any portion of any
Operative Document except information filed with the FAA or SEC and available
for public inspection or (ii) obtained in connection with a proposed transfer of
the Owner Participant's interests as provided in Section 16, and will use all
reasonable efforts to have all such information kept confidential and not used
in any way known to such party to be detrimental to the Lessee, with regard to
information referred to in clause (i) above, or to the Owner Participant with
regard to information referred to in clause (ii) above; provided, that (a) each
--------
party may use, retain and disclose any such information to its financial
advisors, insurance brokers, special counsel and public accountants, any
potential transferees and any governmental agency or instrumentality or other
supervisory body requesting such disclosure, provided that such party informs
--------
such financial advisors, insurance brokers, special counsel, public accountants
or potential transferees that access to such information constitutes agreement
by such person to keep such information confidential, (b) each party may use,
retain and disclose any such information which has been publicly disclosed
(other than by such party or any Affiliate thereof in breach of this Section 17)
or has rightfully come into the possession of such party or any Affiliate
thereof (other than from the Lessee, with regard to information referred to in
clause (i) above or from the Owner Participant with regard to information
referred to in clause (ii) above) and (c) to the extent that such party or any
Affiliate thereof may have received a subpoena or other written demand under
color of legal right for such information, such party or Affiliate may disclose
such information, but such party shall first, as soon as practicable
-70-
<PAGE>
upon receipt of such demand, furnish a copy of such demand to the Lessee, or the
Owner Participant, as the case may be, and afford the Lessee, or the Owner
Participant, as the case may be, reasonable opportunity, at the cost and expense
of the Lessee, or the Owner Participant, as the case may be, to obtain a
protective order or other reasonably satisfactory assurance of confidential
treatment for the information required to be disclosed. Nothing in this Section
17 shall prevent the Indenture Trustee from disclosing information to the
Holders in accordance with the requirements of the Indenture or prevent the Pass
Through Trustee from disclosing information to the holders of the Pass Through
Certificates in accordance with the requirements of the Pass Through Agreement
or any Series Supplement.
Section 18. Certain Obligations of the Owner Participant. The Owner
---------------------------------------------
Participant covenants that it will, at its own cost and expense, promptly take
such action as may be necessary to duly discharge any Owner Participant's Lien
on any part of the Trust Estate or the Indenture Estate; provided, however, that
-------- -------
the Owner Participant may in good faith by appropriate proceedings contest
claims or charges resulting in any such Lien as long as such contest does not
involve any material danger of the sale, forfeiture or loss (or loss of use of
any part of the Trust Estate or the Indenture Estate, or any interest therein
and does not involve any material danger of an interruption of the payments of
Rent assigned to the Indenture Trustee; and the Owner Participant hereby agrees
to indemnify and hold harmless the Lessee and the Holders from and against any
loss, cost, expense or damages (excluding incidental and consequential damages)
to the extent that the same may be suffered by the Lessee or any Holder as the
result of the failure of the Owner Participant to discharge and satisfy any such
Owner Participant's Lien.
Section 19. Change of Registration of the Aircraft. The Owner
---------------------------------------
Participant and the Indenture Trustee agree that if, at any time after the end
of the Recapture Period as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, (i) the Lessee by at least 45 days prior written notice has
requested their consent to the registration of the Aircraft, at the Lessee's
expense, in the name of the Owner Trustee, in a country other than the United
States with which the United States at the time of such registration maintains
"normal" diplomatic relations and (ii) the Owner Participant or the Indenture
Trustee has not determined, acting reasonably, that such other country would not
provide substantially equivalent protection for the exercise of rights and
remedies of owner participants, lessors or lenders in similar transactions as
provided under United States law (except that, in the absence of restrictions
under the laws of such country on rights and remedies of lessors and secured
parties similar to those imposed by Sections 362 and 363 of the Bankruptcy Code,
rights and remedies similar to those available under Section 1110 of the
Bankruptcy Code shall not be required), then the Owner Participant and the
Indenture Trustee will not unreasonably
-71-
<PAGE>
withhold their consent to such change of registration (it being agreed that the
Lessee's inability to deliver an opinion (reasonably satisfactory in form and
substance to the Owner Participant and the Indenture Trustee) of counsel
acceptable to the Owner Participant and the Indenture Trustee in such proposed
country of registry as to the matters referred to in clause (ii) above and to
the effect that the courts of such country would give effect to the title,
registry and priority of the Lien under the Indenture substantially to the same
extent as provided under United States law shall constitute reasonable grounds
for a determination that such country would not provide such protection). If
said consent is given, the Owner Participant and the Indenture Trustee will
instruct the Owner Trustee to take whatever reasonable action is necessary or
appropriate, at the Lessee's cost and expense, to effectuate such change of
registration provided, however, that prior to any such change in the country of
-------- -------
registry of the Aircraft, the Owner Participant and the Indenture Trustee shall

amendment pursuant to this Section 20.
(c) The Lessee agrees that neither it nor any of its Affiliates
shall at any time purchase or hold certificates issued pursuant to Section 20(a)

in no event shall the Lessee and its Affiliates hold at any one time Refunding

Certificate, have Refunding Certificates held by it in a principal amount not
exceeding the principal amount of Refunding Certificate to be redeemed on such
date redeemed in priority to all other Refunding Certificates.
(d) [Intentionally Omitted]
(e) In the case of a refunding involving a public offering of debt
securities, (1) the offering materials (including any registration statement)
for the refunding transaction shall describe the Owner Participant and the Owner
Trustee, and the terms of the transaction among the Owner Participant, the Owner
Trustee and the Lessee, only to the extent required by applicable United States
federal and state securities laws, and such offering materials shall be
otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Owner Participant and the Owner Trustee
to the extent such materials describe the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee
or the terms of the transaction among the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee
and the Lessee, but such offering materials shall not include any financial
information about the Owner Participant and (2) the structure of the offering
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Participant from a tax point of
view.
(f) No refunding pursuant to this Section 20 shall permit any
floating rate debt to be outstanding at any time after September 30, 1999.
(g) The Lessee, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the
Owner Participant each agree to execute any document necessary or advisable to
implement Section 20 of this
-75-
<PAGE>
Agreement (including, without limitation, the execution, delivery and/or
provision of any appropriate additional or modified amendment, representation,
warranty, certificate, opinion or other document that may reasonably be
requested by the Lessee or any other person).

-----------
elsewhere contained to the contrary, it is understood and agreed among the
parties hereto that the transactions contemplated by this Participation
Agreement, the Lease, the Indenture and the other Operative Documents are

and any successor provision thereto.
Section 22. Certain Investments. Notwithstanding any other provision
--------------------

this Section 8.01, WTC shall first demand its corresponding right to
indemnification pursuant to Section 6 of the Participation Agreement (but need
not exhaust any or all remedies available thereunder). The indemnities contained
in this Section 8.01 extend to WTC and shall not be construed as part of the
Trust Estate or the Indenture Estate (except to the extent, if any, that WTC has
been reimbursed from the Trust Estate or Indenture Estate for amounts covered by
the indemnities in this Section 8.01). The indemnities contained in this Section
8.01 shall survive the termination of this Trust Agreement. In addition, if
necessary, WTC shall be entitled to indemnification from the Trust Estate for
any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, tax, claim, action, suit,
cost, expense or disbursements indemnified against pursuant to this Section 8.01

subject to any interest therein of the Indenture Trustee or any Holder, but
which shall be prior to any interest therein of the Owner Participant. The payor
of any indemnity under this Section 8.01 shall be subrogated to any right of the
person indemnified in respect of the matter as to which such indemnity was paid.

transfer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section

however, the Owner Participant shall give notice as promptly as practicable to
- -------
the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, and Lessee of the consummation of the
merger or consolidation, which notice shall be given, subject to any applicable
securities laws, upon the earliest of (i) such information becoming publicly
available, (ii) any action or consent by the Owner Participant or Lessee under
the Operative Documents required in connection with such merger or
consolidation, and (iii) the consummation of such merger or consolidation;

Owner Participant in and to this Trust Agreement, the properties of the Owner
Trustee pledged or mortgaged as part of the Indenture Estate, the Participation
Agreement or the Indemnity Agreement to become an asset (within the meaning of
ERISA and any applicable rules and regulations) of an employee benefit plan
subject to Title I of ERISA or of an individual retirement account or a plan
subject to Section 4975 of the Code. If the New Corporation is an airline
operating regularly scheduled commercial jet passenger or cargo transport
service on domestic United States routes or an Affiliate of such an airline and
Lessee does not approve of the New Corporation as the Transferee of the Owner
Participant, the Owner Participant and Lessee shall have the respective rights
and obligations set forth in Section 16 of the Participation Agreement. All
expenses in connection with any such transfer shall be for the account of the
Owner Participant.
The Owner Participant may at any time assign, convey or otherwise transfer
any or all of its right, title or interest in and to the residual value of the
Aircraft (including without limitation a transfer of all or a portion of (1) any
net proceeds from a sale or re-lease of the Aircraft whether at the end of the
Basic Term or the Renewal Term, if any, or pursuant to any provision of the
Lease or otherwise or (2) the net proceeds received as a result of an Event of
Loss or an Event of Default) and any transferee thereof need not satisfy the
requirements for a "Transferee" hereunder so long as the Owner Participant
otherwise remains the holder of the beneficial interest in the Trust Estate.
If there is more than one Owner Participant, no assignment, conveyance or
other transfer by an Owner Participant of any of its right, title or interest in
and to this Trust Agreement or the Trust Estate shall be valid unless each other
Owner Participant's prior written consent is given to such assignment,
conveyance or other transfer, which consent may be withheld in such other Owner
Participant's sole discretion.
SECTION 9.02 Notice. Any Owner Participant proposing to transfer its
------
interests hereunder pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof shall give written notice to
Lessee, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, specifying the name and
address of the Transferee and the facts necessary to determine compliance with
Section 9.01 hereof, provided, however, that in the case of a transfer to a
-------- -------
Permitted Affiliate or in the case of a transfer of all or a substantial portion
of the Owner Participant's aircraft lease portfolio to an entity that is not an
airline or commercial operator of aircraft or an Affiliate thereof, such notice
may be given not more than 10 days following such transfer.

SUCCESSOR OWNER TRUSTEES; APPOINTMENT OF SEPARATE TRUSTEES
SECTION 10.01 Resignation of Owner Trustee; Appointment of Successor. (a)
------------------------------------------------------
The Owner Trustee or any successor Owner Trustee shall resign immediately upon
obtaining actual knowledge of any facts which would cast reasonable doubt upon
its continuing status as a Citizen of the United States (in which case the Owner
Participant will promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section
15(g)(C) of the Participation Agreement), and may resign at any time, by giving
at least 60 days' prior written notice to the Indenture Trustee and to each
Owner Participant, such resignation in each such case to be effective on the
date the trusts hereunder are assumed by a successor Owner Trustee. In addition,
the Owner Participant may at any time remove the Owner Trustee without cause by
an instrument in writing delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture
Trustee. In case of the resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee, the Owner
Participant may appoint a successor Owner Trustee by an instrument signed by the
Owner Participant. If a successor Owner Trustee shall not have been appointed
within 30 days after such resignation or removal, the Owner Trustee, the Owner
Participant or the Indenture Trustee may apply to any court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint a successor Owner Trustee to act until such time, if
any, as a successor shall have been appointed as above provided. Any successor
Owner Trustee so appointed by such court shall immediately and without further
act be superseded by any successor Owner Trustee appointed as above provided.
(b) Any successor Owner Trustee, whether appointed by a court or by
the Owner Participant, shall execute and deliver to the predecessor Owner
Trustee, with a copy to the Owner Participant and the Indenture Trustee, an
instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon such successor Owner
Trustee, without further act, shall become vested with all the estates,
properties, rights, powers, duties and trusts of the predecessor Owner Trustee
hereunder in the trusts hereunder, with like effect as if originally named the
Owner Trustee herein; but nevertheless, upon the written request of such
successor Owner Trustee, such predecessor Owner Trustee shall execute and
deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Owner Trustee, and such
predecessor Owner Trustee shall duly assign, transfer, deliver and pay over to
such successor Owner Trustee, all the estates, rights, powers, duties, monies or
other property then held by such predecessor Owner Trustee hereunder, upon the
trusts herein expressed.
Upon the appointment of any successor Owner Trustee hereunder, the
predecessor Owner Trustee will use its best efforts to cause registration of the
Aircraft included in the Trust Estate to be transferred upon the records of the
FAA, or other governmental authority having jurisdiction, into the name of the
successor Owner Trustee.
-18-
<PAGE>
(c) Any successor Owner Trustee, however appointed, shall (i) be a
Citizen of the United States, and (ii) be a bank or trust company organized
under the laws of the United States or any State and having its principal place
of business in the United States of America, and having a combined capital and
surplus of at least $100,000,000, if there be such an institution willing, able
and legally qualified to perform the duties of the Owner Trustee hereunder upon
reasonable or customary terms.
(d) Any corporation into which the Owner Trustee may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Owner Trustee shall be
a party, or any corporation to which substantially all the corporate trust
business of the Owner Trustee may be transferred, shall, subject to the terms of
paragraph (c) of this Section 10.01, be the Owner Trustee under this Trust
Agreement without further act, provided that such corporation shall not also be
--------
the Indenture Trustee.
(e) The 60-day notice period specified in the first sentence of
paragraph (a) of this Section 10.01 shall be reduced as necessary so that any
resignation of the Owner Trustee or any successor Owner Trustee shall be
effective prior to the date such Owner Trustee no longer qualifies, or is
expected no longer to qualify, as a Citizen of the United States.
SECTION 10.02 Appointment of Separate Trustees. (a) At any time or times,
--------------------------------
in the event that the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant shall deem it
necessary or prudent or desirable in order to conform to the legal requirements
of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Estate may at such time or
times be located, the Owner Trustee by an instrument in writing signed by it,
shall appoint one or more individuals or corporations approved by the Owner
Participant to act as separate trustee or separate trustees of all or any part
of the Trust Estate to the full extent that local law makes it necessary or
prudent or desirable for such separate trustee or separate trustees to act.
(b) The Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver all such instruments as may be required by any such
separate trustee or separate trustees for more fully confirming such title,
rights or duties to such separate trustee or separate trustees. Upon the
acceptance in writing of such appointment by any such separate trustee or
separate trustees, it, he or they shall be vested with such title to the Trust
Estate or any part thereof, and with such rights and duties, as shall be
specified in the instrument of appointment, jointly with the Owner Trustee
(except insofar as local law makes it necessary or prudent or desirable for any
such separate trustee or separate trustees to act alone) subject to all the
terms of this Trust Agreement. Any separate trustee or separate trustees may, at
any time by an instrument in writing, constitute the Owner Trustee its, their or
his attorney-in-fact and agent with full power and authority to do all acts and
things and to exercise all
-19-
<PAGE>
discretion on its, their or his behalf and in its, their or his name.
Every additional trustee hereunder shall be a Citizen of the United States
and, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act, and the Owner Trustee
and its successors shall act, subject to the following provisions and
conditions:
(A) all powers, duties, obligations and rights conferred upon the
Owner Trustee in respect of the custody, control and management of monies,
the Aircraft or documents authorized to be delivered hereunder or under the
Participation Agreement shall be exercised solely by the Owner Trustee;
(B) all other rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
imposed upon the Owner Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
exercised or performed by the Owner Trustee and such additional trustee
jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in
which any particular act or acts are to be performed (including the holding
of title to the Trust Estate) the Owner Trustee shall be incompetent or
unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights,
powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such
additional trustee;
(C) no power given to, or which it is provided hereby may be
exercised by, any such additional trustee shall be exercised hereunder by
such additional trustee, except jointly with, or with the consent in
writing of, the Owner Trustee;
(D) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any
act or omission of any other trustee hereunder;
(E) the Owner Participant, at any time, by an instrument in writing
may remove any such additional trustee. In the event that the Owner
Participant shall not have joined in the execution of any such instrument
within ten days after the receipt of a written request from the Owner
Trustee so to do, the Owner Trustee shall have the power to remove any such
additional trustee without the concurrence of the Owner Participant; and
the Owner Participant hereby appoints the Owner Trustee its agent and
attorney-in-fact for it in such connection in such contingency; and
(F) no appointment of, or action by, any additional trustee will
relieve the Owner Trustee of any of its obligations under, or otherwise
affect any of the terms of, the Indenture or affect the interests of the
Indenture Trustee or the Holders in the Indenture Estate.
In case such separate trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or
be removed, the title to the Trust Estate and all rights and duties of such
separate trustee shall, so far as
-20-
<PAGE>
permitted by law, vest in and be exercised by the Owner Trustee, without the
appointment of a successor to such separate trustee.
(c) All provisions of this Trust Agreement which are for the benefit
of the Owner Trustee shall extend to and apply to each separate trustee
appointed pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.02, including
without limitation Article 8 hereof.
ARTICLE 11.
SUPPLEMENTS AND AMENDMENTS TO THIS TRUST AGREEMENT
AND OTHER DOCUMENTS
SECTION 11.01 Instructions of Owner Participant; Limitations. At any time
----------------------------------------------
and from time to time, upon the written request of the Owner Participant and
subject to the requirements of Section 8(c) of the Participation Agreement (i)
the Owner Trustee, together with the Owner Participant making such request,

changing or eliminating provisions of, this Trust Agreement (except Section
12.12 hereof) as specified in such request, (ii) the Owner Trustee shall enter
into such amendment of or supplement to the Participation Agreement as specified
in such request and (iii) the Owner Trustee shall, subject to compliance with
any applicable provisions of the Indenture, enter into such written amendment of

Purchase Agreement Assignment as the other parties thereto may agree to and as
may be specified in such request, or execute and deliver such written waiver or
modification of the terms of the Indenture or the Lease, as may be specified in
such request. Without the written consent of the Owner Participant, the Owner
Trustee shall not execute any such supplement, amendment, waiver or
modification. Without the consent of Lessee, no such supplement or amendment to
this Trust Agreement or waiver or modification of the terms hereof shall permit
or require any action contrary to, or disturb, Lessee's rights under the Lease
or amend or modify the terms of Section 10.01(a) or 10.01(c) hereof relating to
the status of the Owner Trustee as a Citizen of the United States. Without the
consent of the Indenture Trustee, this Article and Sections 12.01, 12.02, 12.03,
12.04, 12.12 and 12.13 hereof shall not be amended, and compliance with any
provisions thereof shall not be waived by the Owner Participant or the Owner
Trustee (unless such amendment or waiver is consented to by the Indenture
Trustee) until the final satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture pursuant to
the terms thereof. The provisions of this Section 11.01 notwithstanding, the
Owner Trustee shall not be required to, and the Owner Trustee agrees for the
benefit of the Holders that it will not, execute any amendment which in the
reasonable judgment of the Owner Trustee might result in the trusts created
hereunder being terminated prior to the release of the Lien of the Indenture on
the Trust Estate or prior to the payment in full, as of the date of payment
thereof, of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of
-21-
<PAGE>
the Certificates outstanding on such date of payment, together with the accrued
and unpaid interest and to premium, if any, thereon and the aggregate amount, if
any, of all sums which, if Section 5.03 of the Indenture were applicable, would
be entitled to be paid in priority to or on a parity with the payment of
principal and interest on such Certificates.
A signed copy of each amendment or supplement to this Trust Agreement shall
be delivered by the Owner Trustee to the Indenture Trustee, without in any way
affecting the Indenture or the Certificates and without imposing any duty on the
Indenture Trustee with respect to such amendment or supplement.
SECTION 11.02 Owner Trustee Protected. If, in the reasonable opinion of
-----------------------
the Owner Trustee, any document required to be executed pursuant to the terms of
Section 11.01 hereof adversely affects any right, duty, immunity or indemnity in
favor of the Owner Trustee under this Trust Agreement, the Indenture or the
Lease, the Owner Trustee may in its discretion decline to execute such document,
unless the Owner Trustee is furnished with indemnification from the Lessee or
any other party upon terms and in amounts reasonably satisfactory to the Owner
Trustee to protect the Trust Estate and the Owner Trustee against any and all
liabilities, costs and expenses arising out of the execution of such documents.
SECTION 11.03 Request of Substance, Not Form. It shall not be necessary
------------------------------
for any written request furnished pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof to specify
the particular form of the proposed documents to be executed pursuant to said
Section 11.01, but it shall be sufficient if such request shall indicate the
substance thereof.

either party hereto or, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if
legislation shall become effective providing for the validity or permitting the
effective grant of such trust for a period, in gross, exceeding the period for
which such trust is hereinabove stated to extend and be valid, then such trust

payments pursuant to this Lease shall be received by 12:00 noon Eastern Standard
(or Daylight) Time on the date payment is due in U.S. dollars and in immediately
available funds. If any Payment Date is not a Business Day, then payment shall
be due on the next succeeding Business Day without interest or penalty. All
payments of Rent and all other amounts payable by Lessee hereunder (other than
Excepted Payments, which shall be paid to the person entitled thereto), shall be
paid by Lessee to Lessor at its office at 1100 North Market Street, Rodney
Square North, Wilmington, Delaware 19890-0001, Attention: Corporate Trust
Administration, or as Lessor may otherwise specify by notice. So long as the
Indenture has not been discharged pursuant to Section 14.01 thereof, Lessor
hereby directs, and Lessee agrees, that all payments of Rent and all other
amounts payable by Lessee hereunder (other than Excepted Payments, which shall
be paid to the person entitled thereto) shall be paid directly to the Indenture
Trustee at its office at 100 Ashford Center North, Suite 520, Atlanta, Georgia
30338, Attention: Corporate Trust Lease Administration, or as the Indenture
Trustee may otherwise specify by notice, at such time so as to be received by
the Indenture Trustee prior to 12:00 noon Eastern Standard Time or Eastern
Daylight Time on the date of payment.
(e) Manner of Making Adjustments. All adjustments pursuant to Section
----------------------------
3(c) shall be made as promptly as practicable after either the Owner Participant
or Lessee gives written notice to the other that an event has occurred which
might require an adjustment. All adjustments shall be made in a manner which (A)
maintains the Owner Participant's Net Economic Return, (B) to the extent
possible consistent with clause (A), minimizes the Net Present Value of Rents
and (C) complies with the requirements of the last sentence of Section 3(a);
provided, however, that the EBO Percentage will in all cases be adjusted to the
percentage which, when multiplied by Lessor's Cost, is the greatest of (i) the
Termination Value as of the EBO Date, (ii) [$__________] and (iii) the present
value as of the EBO Date of (A) the remaining Basic Rent plus (B) [$__________]
(using a 14.55% discount rate assuming semi-annual payments). Any recalculation
of Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss Value percentages and Termination Value
percentages and the EBO Percentage shall be calculated by the Owner Participant,
subject to verification by Lessee and Babcock & Brown Financial Corporation, on
the basis of the same methodology and assumptions
- 15 -
<PAGE>
used by the Owner Participant in determining the Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss
Value percentages and Termination Value percentages and the EBO Percentage as of
the Refunding Date (including compliance with Revenue Procedures 75-21 and 75-28
and Section 467 of the Code), except as such assumptions have been modified
hereunder. All adjustments (i) shall be made so as to avoid characterization of
the Lease as a "disqualified leaseback or long-term agreement" within the
meaning of Section 467 of the Code (to the extent of compliance with Section 467
of the Code as in effect on the Delivery Date, it being understood that, to the
extent that the schedule of Basic Rent complies on the Delivery Date with any
grandfather or similar provisions in any regulations under Section 467 or other
administrative pronouncement interpreting Section 467 promulgated or issued
after the Delivery Date, such structure shall be deemed to be in compliance with
Section 467 on the Delivery Date) and to avoid any additional risk of such
characterization and (ii) shall be in compliance with the requirements of
Revenue Procedure 75-21 and Sections 4.02(5), 4.07(1), 4.07(2) and, on a
prospective basis, 4.08(1) of Rev. Proc. 75-28. If Lessee believes that such
calculations by the Owner Participant are in error and after consultation Lessee
and Owner Participant are unable to agree on the proper adjustment, then a
nationally recognized firm of accountants selected by the Owner Participant and
reasonably acceptable to Lessee shall verify the Owner Participant's final
calculations. The Owner Participant will make available to such firm the
methodology and assumptions referred to above and any changes thereto made
hereunder (subject to the execution by such firm of a confidentiality agreement
reasonably acceptable to the Owner Participant prohibiting disclosure of such
methodology and assumptions to any third party including Lessee). The
determination by such firm of accountants shall be final. The Owner Participant
will pay the reasonable costs and expenses of the verification if it results in
a decrease in Basic Rent which decreases the Net Present Value of Rents by more
than ten basis points from the Net Present Value of Rents as recalculated by the
Owner Participant. In all other cases, Lessee will pay such costs and expenses.
(f) Obligations at Lessee's Expense. All obligations of Lessee or any
-------------------------------
sublessee or transferee in this Lease shall be done, performed or complied with
at Lessee's cost and expense, unless otherwise expressly stated.
SECTION 4. Covenants, Representations and Warranties; Lessor's Disclaimer
--------------------------------------------------------------
of Warranties; Lessor's Representations and Warranties. NONE OF LESSOR (IN ITS
- ------------------------------------------------------
INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY OR AS OWNER TRUSTEE), THE OWNER PARTICIPANT, ANY HOLDER OR

INFRINGEMENT OF ANY PATENT, TRADEMARK OR COPYRIGHT, AS TO THE ABSENCE OF ANY
OBLIGATIONS BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY IN TORT, OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION OR
WARRANTY WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE AIRCRAFT OR ANY
PART THEREOF, except that Lessor, in its individual capacity, hereby represents
and warrants that (i) on the Delivery Date it received whatever title was
conveyed to it by Lessee, (ii) on the Delivery Date and the Refunding Date, the
Aircraft was and is free of Lessor's Liens attributable to Lessor in its
individual capacity, and (iii) on the date of any transfer of Lessor's right,
title and interest in the Airframe or in an Engine or the Engines or in the
Aircraft pursuant to Section 5, 9 or 10, the Aircraft, Airframe, or the Engine
or Engines, as the case may be, shall be free of Lessor's Liens attributable to
Lessor in its individual capacity. None of the provisions of this Section 4 or
any other provision of this Agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect
the representations, warranties or other obligations (express or implied) of the
Manufacturer or the Engine Manufacturer or any subcontractor or supplier of the
Manufacturer or the Engine Manufacturer with respect to the Airframe, the
Engines, or any Parts or release the Manufacturer or the Engine Manufacturer or
any such subcontractor or supplier from any such representation, warranty or
obligation. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
Lessor shall assign or otherwise make available to Lessee such rights as Lessor
may have under any representation, warranty or other obligation with respect to
the Aircraft made by the Manufacturer or any of its subcontractors or suppliers
or any other claims against the Manufacturer or any such subcontractor or
supplier with respect to the Aircraft; provided that any proceeds held while any
--------
Event of Default or Payment Default shall have occurred and be continuing shall
be held pursuant to Section 24 hereof as security for Lessee's obligations
hereunder and under the Participation Agreement and the Indemnity Agreement.
Lessor represents and warrants in its individual capacity that it is a Citizen
of the United States.
SECTION 5. Renewal Options; Purchase Options; Return of Aircraft.
-----------------------------------------------------
(a) Renewal Option. (i) Not more than 540 days nor less than 180 days prior to
--------------
the last day of the Basic Term, Lessee may provide irrevocable written notice (a
"Preliminary Notice") to Lessor that it shall exercise either the option to
renew this Lease under this Section 5(a) or the option to purchase the Aircraft
at the end of the Basic Term under Section 5(b). If such Preliminary Notice is
given by Lessee, then at least 30 days prior to the end of the Basic Term Lessee
shall provide a further notice (a "Definitive Notice") specifying which option
it intends to elect. A Definitive Notice may be given only if no Event of
Default or Payment Default has occurred and is continuing at the time such
Definitive Notice is given, and provided that this Lease has not otherwise
--------
expired or terminated. Lessee may elect in such Definitive Notice to extend the
term of this Lease for a Renewal Term, if any, under all the terms, provisions
and conditions of this Lease, for a period selected by Lessee of not less than
one year nor more than three years, commencing on the expiration of the
- 17 -
<PAGE>
Basic Term. The Basic Rent for the Aircraft during the Renewal Term, if any,
shall be payable semi-annually in advance on each Payment Date during the
Renewal Term, if any, and shall be the Fair Market Rent. The Stipulated Loss
Value as of any date during the Renewal Term, if any, shall be equal to the Fair
Market Value of the Aircraft, as defined in paragraph (b)(ii) of this Section 5,
determined as of the commencement date of the Renewal Term, if any, minus, if
such date is not a Payment Date, the pro rata amount of Basic Rent paid on the
preceding Payment Date and attributable to the period from such date to the next
Payment Date (or the last day of the Renewal Term, as the case may be). If no
Preliminary Notice is delivered by Lessee to Lessor pursuant to this Section
5(a) on or before the day specified therefor, Lessee shall be deemed to have
waived any right to renew this Lease. If after having given a Preliminary Notice
Lessee fails to deliver a Definitive Notice pursuant to this Section 5(a) or
Section 5(b), and on the last date on which a Definitive Notice could have been
given pursuant to this Section 5(a) or 5(b) no Event of Default or Payment
Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessee shall be deemed to have elected
to renew the Lease under this Section 5(a) for a period of one year.
(ii) The term "Fair Market Rent" means an amount determined in
accordance with the provisions of Section 5(d) on the basis of, and equal in
amount to, the rent which would be obtained in an arm's-length net lease
transaction between an informed and willing lessee and an informed and willing
lessor, neither being under any compulsion to lease. In such determination, it
shall be assumed that the Aircraft is in (and registered in) the United States
and is in the better of its actual condition or the condition required under
this Lease in the case of return of the Aircraft pursuant to Section 5(c). Such
determination shall also reflect the fact that Basic Rent during the Renewal
Term, if any, is payable semi-annually in advance.
(b) Purchase Options. (i) If this Lease has not otherwise expired or
----------------
terminated, Lessee may elect (A) by notice delivered to Lessor not more than 180
or less than 90 days prior to the EBO Date, to purchase the Aircraft on the EBO
Date, (B) in the Definitive Notice referred to in Section 5(a), to purchase the
Aircraft at the end of the Basic Term or (C) if no Event of Default or Payment
Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such notice, by
irrevocable written notice given at least 180 days prior to the end of the
Renewal Term, if any, to purchase the Aircraft at the end of the Renewal Term,
if any. The purchase price on the EBO Date shall be an amount equal to Lessor's
Cost multiplied by the EBO Percentage. The purchase price at the end of the
Basic Term and at the end of the Renewal Term, if any, shall be Fair Market
Value (calculated as at the end of the Basic Term or the Renewal Term, as the
case may be). On any such purchase date, and as a condition to the sale of the
Aircraft on such date, Lessee shall also pay all other amounts, whether past due
Basic Rent, Supplemental Rent (including premium, if any), or otherwise, owing
by Lessee to Lessor or any other Person under the Operative
- 18 -
<PAGE>
Documents on such purchase date, including the installment of Basic Rent due on
the EBO Date if such installment is designated on Exhibit C as payable in
arrears. In the case of any purchase pursuant to clause (A) above on the EBO
Date, if Lessee shall have caused the indebtedness represented by the
Certificates to be a direct and full recourse obligation of Lessee in accordance
with clause (B) of Section 16(c) of the Participation Agreement, the principal
amount of, and accrued interest on, the Certificates outstanding on the EBO Date
shall be credited against the purchase price payable on the EBO Date. If Lessee
fails to deliver to Lessor the Preliminary Notice pursuant to Section 5(a) or
the notice referred to in either clause (A) or (C) of this Section 5(b), in any
such case on or before the day specified therefor, Lessee shall be deemed to
have waived the applicable right to purchase the Aircraft hereunder.
(ii) The term "Fair Market Value" means an amount determined in
accordance with the provisions of Section 5(d) on the basis of, and equal in
amount to, the value which would be obtained in an arm's-length transaction
between an informed and willing purchaser under no compulsion to buy and an
informed and willing seller under no compulsion to sell. In such determination,
it shall be assumed that the Aircraft is in (and registered in) the United
States and is in the better of its actual condition or the condition required
under this Lease in the case of return of the Aircraft pursuant to Section 5(c)
except that for purposes of Section 15(c), Fair Market Value shall be determined
on an "as is, where-is" basis, and if Lessor does not obtain possession of the
Aircraft pursuant to Section 15(a), Fair Market Value for purposes of Section
15(c) shall be deemed to be zero.
(iii) If Lessee elects to purchase the Aircraft, upon timely payment
to Lessor of an amount equal to the purchase price for the Aircraft and all
other amounts owing by Lessee to Lessor and the other parties to the
Participation Agreement (whether as Supplemental Rent or otherwise) hereunder,
under the Participation Agreement or under the Indemnity Agreement, Lessor will
transfer to Lessee, without recourse or warranty, except as set forth in Section
4, all of Lessor's right, title and interest in and to the Aircraft. In
connection with such transfer, Lessee shall prepare and Lessor shall execute or
forward to the Indenture Trustee for execution, as the case may be, all in
recordable form, a bill of sale evidencing such transfer, a termination of this
Lease, a release of the Indenture and such other documents (including Uniform
Commercial Code termination statements and opinions of counsel) as Lessee may
reasonably request.
(c) Return of Aircraft. Unless the Aircraft is purchased by Lessee,
------------------
upon the termination or expiration of this Lease (including termination as a
result of a rejection hereof pursuant to any provision of the Bankruptcy Code or
upon demand for the Aircraft pursuant to Section 15), Lessee will return the
Aircraft by delivering it to Lessor on the last day of the Term (including the
date specified in any court order authorizing such a
- 19 -
<PAGE>
rejection) or on the Termination Date, or on the date specified under Section
15(c), as the case may be, at Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport or at one
of Lessee's domestic United States McDonnell Douglas MD-11 maintenance
facilities having the capability to maintain avionics equipment as selected by
Lessor at least 30 days, or 10 days in the case of a return pursuant to Section
15 or in connection with such a rejection, prior to such return. Upon such
return, the Aircraft (i) shall be in good operating condition and shall possess
a valid certificate of airworthiness for commercial passenger operation issued
by the FAA, (ii) shall be clean by airline standards and in the condition
required to be maintained hereunder, (iii) shall, unless otherwise requested by
Lessor to retain the then existing registration of the Aircraft, be duly
registered with the FAA in the name of Lessor or its designee, (iv) shall be in
a passenger configuration generally used by Lessee in scheduled international
commercial service, (v) shall be free and clear of all Liens (except Owner
Participant's Liens and Lessor's Liens) including any rights of third parties
under pooling, interchange, overhaul, repair or similar agreements or
arrangements and (vi) shall be in compliance with Sections 7 and 8 hereof and
with all laws, rules, regulations and orders (including airworthiness
directives) of any government or governmental authority having jurisdiction
(domestic or foreign) over the Aircraft. For purposes of clause (vi) above, the
Aircraft shall not be considered to be in compliance with an airworthiness
directive if the maintenance or alteration prescribed in such directive has not
been accomplished and would have been required to be accomplished on or prior to
the end of the Term or the Termination Date, as the case may be, pursuant to the
provisions of clause (ii) of the first sentence, and pursuant to the second and
third sentences, of Section 7(a). Upon such return, the Aircraft shall be fully
equipped and have installed thereon the Engines or the same number of engines
owned by Lessee of the same make and model as the Engines which were described
in the Lease Supplement (or other engines of the same or another manufacturer
suitable for installation and use on the Airframe, provided that replacement
--------
engines shall be of identical make and model (and if one replacement engine is
being returned, such engine shall be of the make and model identical to that of
the Engines being returned together therewith and any engines of a different
manufacturer than the original Engines shall be then commonly used in the
commercial passenger aviation industry on MD-11 series airframes) and be in at
least as good operating condition and have at least the same value and utility
as the Engines being replaced, assuming such Engines were in the condition
required hereunder) free and clear of all Liens (other than Lessor's Liens and
Owner Participant's Liens) including any rights of third parties under pooling,
interchange, overhaul, repair or similar agreements or arrangements. Lessee will
provide no storage for the Aircraft following the last day of the Term or the
Termination Date.
In connection with any return of the Aircraft pursuant to the
preceding paragraph, Lessee will comply with any request made by Lessor at least
10 Business Days prior to such return to the
- 20 -
<PAGE>
effect that, subsequent to compliance with (or waiver by Lessor of) the
preceding paragraph, Lessee will fly the Aircraft (on a route determined by
Lessee) to a location either inside or outside the United States reasonably
selected by Lessor at which physical possession will be turned over to Lessor.
Lessee shall not be required to commence any such flight until Lessor shall have
executed and delivered to Lessee a certificate in the form of Exhibit D. The
costs of insurance, landing fees, fuel and crew for such flight shall be borne
(i) by Lessee, if the final destination of such flight is a location within the
48 contiguous states of the United States and (ii) by Lessor if the final
destination of such flight is any other location. All other costs and expenses
shall be for Lessor's account. Lessee shall not be required to begin or continue
any such flight if doing so would in Lessee's opinion require any further
maintenance, modifications, repairs or other activities by Lessee not required
upon delivery of the Aircraft pursuant to the preceding paragraph or if doing so
would require any export certificate of airworthiness or governmental approval
(domestic or foreign) which has not been obtained by Lessor at Lessor's expense.
Lessee represents that it has adopted a time-related maintenance visit
program with respect to the Airframe and a condition monitoring program with
respect to the Engines. On return, (i) the Airframe shall have at least 1,400
hours of operation remaining to each of the next scheduled letter check (or if,
under Lessee's FAA approved maintenance program the maximum number of hours of
operation permitted between letter checks is less then 1,400, Lessee shall
perform the next required letter check on the Airframe) and the next scheduled
heavy maintenance visit, and (ii) the cycles of operation remaining on the
lowest life limited Part on each Engine shall be not less than 700 cycles per
Engine and 2,800 cycles in the aggregate. If Lessee adopts a maintenance program
other than a time-related maintenance program with respect to the Airframe or a
condition monitoring program with respect to the Engines, Lessee promptly shall
notify Lessor of the adoption of such maintenance program, and Lessee and Lessor
in good faith shall negotiate provisions with respect to such maintenance
program substantially equivalent to the return conditions set forth in this
Section 5(c). It is understood and agreed that a letter check shall have the
same work content as a "C" check and that a heavy maintenance visit shall have
the same work content as a "4C" check.
If any engines not owned by Lessor are returned with the Airframe,
Lessee will, at its own expense and concurrently with such delivery, (i) furnish
Lessor with a full warranty bill of sale, in form and substance satisfactory to
Lessor and the Indenture Trustee, if the Lien of the Indenture is still in
effect, covering each such engine and with evidence of Lessee's title to such
engine (including an opinion of counsel for Lessee, reasonably satisfactory to
Lessor, which may rely on an attached opinion of counsel for any Permitted
Sublessee with respect to any engine previously owned by such Permitted
Sublessee, as to such title and
- 21 -
<PAGE>
the absence of all Liens) and (ii) take such other action as Lessor reasonably
requests in order that title to such engine shall be duly and properly vested in
Lessor free and clear of all Liens (other than Lessor's Liens) and otherwise
comply with Section 10(b) hereof. Upon full compliance with the terms of this
Section 5(c), Lessor will transfer to Lessee, without recourse or warranty,
except as set forth in Section 4, all Lessor's right, title and interest in and
to the Engines not returned with the Airframe.
Upon any return of the Aircraft (i) all letters, paint or marks on
such Aircraft identifying the interest of Lessee or any Permitted Sublessee
shall have been removed or painted over in a workmanlike manner with areas
thereof refinished to match adjacent areas; and (ii) Lessee shall deliver to
Lessor all relevant original (or photocopied or microfilmed copies thereof) logs
and all original (or photocopied or microfilmed copies thereof) inspection,
modification and maintenance records required to be maintained or actually
maintained with respect to such Aircraft under Lessee's or any Permitted
Sublessee's FAA approved maintenance program and, to the extent such records are
necessary for the purpose of reregistration of the Aircraft with the FAA upon
return, all original (or photocopied or microfilmed copies thereof) records
maintained with respect to the Aircraft under the maintenance program approved
by the aeronautical authority of any other country of registry of the Aircraft.
Lessee shall invoice Lessor, and Lessor shall pay to Lessee, provided no Event
of Default, Payment Default or Bankruptcy Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the amount of Lessee's cost for any fuel and oil on board the
Aircraft when returned.
During the last twelve months of the Term (unless Lessee shall have
irrevocably elected to purchase the Aircraft or renew this Lease in accordance
with the terms of this Lease), with reasonable notice, Lessee will cooperate,
and cause any Permitted Sublessee to cooperate, at Lessor's sole cost, in all
reasonable respects with the efforts of Lessor to (1) sell or lease the
Aircraft, including without limitation, permitting prospective purchasers or
lessees to inspect the Aircraft and any original (or photocopied or microfilmed
copies thereof) logs and inspection, modification and maintenance records
relating to the Aircraft then required to be retained by the FAA or by the
comparable government agency of the country in which the Aircraft is registered,
all in accordance with Section 12 hereof and (2) preserve Owner Participant's
ability to have income realized from the remarketing of the Aircraft qualify as
"exempt foreign trade income" under Section 923 of the Code or as income
eligible for exemption or exclusion pursuant to any successor or other provision
of the Code; provided that any such cooperation shall not interfere with the
--------
normal operation or maintenance of the Aircraft by, or the business of, Lessee
or any Permitted Sublessee.
(d) Appraisal. Whenever Fair Market Rent or Fair Market Value of the
---------
Aircraft is required to be determined (except under Section 15(c)), they shall
be determined promptly by the mutual
- 22 -
<PAGE>
agreement of the Owner Participant and Lessee in accordance with the definitions
of such terms in subparagraph 5 (a) (ii) and (b)(ii), respectively, of this
Section 5. Lessee may, by written notice delivered to the Owner Participant not
more than 540 days, nor less than 270 days before the end of the Basic Term or
the Renewal Term, if any, require that such determination be made. If Lessee and
the Owner Participant cannot agree within 20 days after Lessee's request for a
determination, such amount shall be determined by a qualified independent
appraiser mutually satisfactory to Lessee and the Owner Participant. If Lessee
and the Owner Participant fail to agree upon a satisfactory independent
appraiser within 8 days following the end of the 20-day period referred to
above, Lessee and the Owner Participant shall each appoint a qualified
independent appraiser within the next succeeding 8 days and such appraisers
shall jointly determine such amount. If either Lessee or the Owner Participant
fails to appoint an appraiser within such 8-day period, the determination of the
single appraiser appointed shall be final. If two appraisers are appointed and
within 20 days after the appointment of the latter of such two appraisers, such
two appraisers cannot agree upon such amount, such two appraisers shall, within
8 days after such 20-day period, appoint a third appraiser and such amount shall
be determined by such three appraisers, who shall make their separate appraisals
within 10 days following the appointment of the third appraiser, and any
determination so made shall be conclusive and binding upon the Owner Participant
and Lessee, as determined below. If no such third appraiser is appointed within
the 8 days specified therefor, either Lessee or the Owner Participant may apply
to the American Arbitration Association to make such appointment, and both
parties shall be bound by such appointment. Each of Lessee and the Owner
Participant may submit to the appraisers (and also to each other) any bids from
third parties and the appraisers shall accord such bids the weight such
appraisers deem such bids to merit. If three appraisers are appointed and the
difference between the determination which is farther from the middle
determination and the middle determination is more than 125% of the difference
between the middle determination and the third determination, then such farther
determination shall be excluded, the remaining two determinations shall be
averaged and such average shall be final and binding upon the Owner Participant
and Lessee. Otherwise, the average of all three determinations shall be final
and binding upon the Owner Participant and Lessee. The expenses of the appraisal
procedure shall be borne equally by Lessee and the Owner Participant, except (i)
Lessee and the Owner Participant shall each bear any fees, costs and expenses of
its respective attorneys and experts (including its appraiser) and (ii) as
otherwise provided in this Lease.
If Fair Market Value is required to be determined under Section 15(c),
such determination shall be made by a qualified independent appraiser selected
by Lessor and the costs and expenses of the appraisal shall be borne by Lessee,
unless Lessor does not obtain possession of the Aircraft pursuant to Section
15(a), in
- 23 -
<PAGE>
which case an appraiser shall not be appointed and the Fair Market Value for
purposes of Section 15(a) shall be deemed to be zero.
SECTION 6. Mortgages, Liens. Lessee will not directly or indirectly
----------------
create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on or with respect to the
Airframe or any Engine, Lessor's title thereto or any interest therein or in, to
or under this Lease or any other Operative Document or any interest of Lessor in
any Rent, except (a)(i) the respective rights of Lessor and Lessee as provided
herein and (ii) the rights of the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture, (b) the
rights of others to the extent expressly permitted by Section 7(b), (c) Lessor's
Liens, Owner Participant's Liens or Indenture Trustee's Liens, (d) Liens for
taxes either not yet due or being contested in good faith and by appropriate
proceedings, so long as such proceedings do not involve any material danger of
the sale, forfeiture or loss (or loss of use) of the Aircraft, the Airframe or
any Engine, or any interest therein or any risk of the assertion of criminal
charges against Owner Participant or Lessor, (e) materialmen's, mechanics',
workmen's, repairmen's, employees' or other like Liens arising in the ordinary
course of business for amounts the payment of which either is not yet delinquent
or is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings so long as there
is not, and such proceedings do not involve, any material danger of the sale,
forfeiture or loss (or loss of use) of the Aircraft, the Airframe or any Engine,
or any interest therein or any risk of the assertion of criminal charges against
Owner Participant or Lessor, and (f) Liens arising out of judgments or awards so
long as (i) an appeal or proceeding for review is timely initiated (and in any
event within 60 days after entry of such judgment or award) and is being
prosecuted in good faith by appropriate proceedings and enforcement of such
judgment or award has been stayed pending such review and (ii) there is not, and
such proceedings do not involve, any material danger of the sale, forfeiture,
loss or loss of use of the Aircraft, Airframe and any Engine, or any interests
therein. Lessee will promptly, at its own expense, take or cause to be taken
such action as may be necessary to discharge any Lien not excepted above when
such Lien arises and shall promptly furnish evidence of such discharge to
Lessor.
SECTION 7. Maintenance, Operation, Registration and Insignia;
--------------------------------------------------
Possession. (a) Maintenance, Etc. Lessee shall (i) forthwith upon delivery
- ---------- ----------------
thereof to Lessor, cause the Aircraft to be and to remain duly registered under
the laws of the United States or such other country of registry as permitted
under Section 19 of the Participation Agreement at all times in the name of
Lessor as owner and cause the Indenture to be duly recorded and maintained of
record as a first mortgage on the Aircraft; (ii) inspect, modify, test, service,
repair, operate and maintain the Aircraft, (A) while the Aircraft is registered
in the United States, in compliance with the applicable regulations of the FAA
and with Lessee's written FAA-approved maintenance program or, while the
Aircraft is registered in another country, in compliance with the applicable
requirements of the aeronautical authority of such country and
- 24 -
<PAGE>
Lessee's (or the Permitted Sublessee's) written maintenance program approved by
the aeronautical authority of such country, (B) so as to keep the Aircraft in
good operating condition, (C) as may be necessary to enable the airworthiness
certification of the Aircraft to be maintained in good standing at all times
under the Act (or under the applicable requirements of the aeronautical
authority of another country of registry), except when the Aircraft is being
maintained, serviced, repaired, tested or modified as permitted or required by
this Lease or when the Aircraft has been grounded by the FAA or any other
governmental authority having jurisdiction (otherwise than by reason of a breach
by Lessee of its obligations hereunder) prior to the expiration or termination
of this Lease, subject, however, to compliance with Section 5(c) hereof, at the
end of the Term and (D) so as to keep the Aircraft maintained in the same manner
and with the same care and diligence and to the same standards as used by Lessee
with respect to other similar aircraft owned or operated by Lessee; and (iii)
maintain all records, logs and other materials required by Lessee's FAA-approved
maintenance program or, while the Aircraft is registered in another country, by
applicable requirements of the aeronautical authority of such country of
registry, in respect of the Aircraft, all such records, logs and other materials
to be maintained in the English language. Lessee will not discriminate against
the Aircraft (as compared to other similar aircraft owned or operated by Lessee)
with respect to its use, operation or maintenance in contemplation of the
expiration or termination of this Lease other than withdrawal of the Aircraft
from use and operation as is necessary to prepare the Aircraft for return to
Lessor upon such expiration or termination and except that Lessee may, to the
extent permitted by Section 8, replace Parts installed on the Aircraft prior to
such expiration or termination with Parts equivalent to those installed on the
Aircraft as of the Delivery Date. Without limiting the generality of the
preceding sentence, if an airworthiness directive by its terms is not required
to be accomplished prior to the Aircraft's return pursuant to Section 5(c),
Lessee shall nevertheless accomplish such directive if prior to such return, (x)
Lessee is generally accomplishing such directive with respect to other McDonnell
Douglas MD-11 series aircraft affected by such directive and operated by the
Lessee and (y) the Aircraft is, in accordance with Lessee's McDonnell Douglas
MD-11 series maintenance program, subjected to the maintenance check at the
point in time at which such directive would be accomplished. Lessee will not
permit the Aircraft to be maintained, used or operated in violation of any law
or any rule, regulation or order (including airworthiness directives) of any
government or governmental authority having jurisdiction (domestic or foreign),
or in violation of any airworthiness certificate, license or registration
relating to the Aircraft issued by any such authority. If such laws, rules,
regulations or orders require alteration of the Aircraft, Lessee will conform
thereto or obtain conformance therewith at no expense to Lessor and will
maintain or cause the same to be maintained in proper operating condition under
such laws, rules, regulations and orders. Subject to the provisions of Section
5(c), Lessee may in good faith contest the validity or application of any such
law,
- 25 -
<PAGE>
rule, regulation or order in any reasonable manner that does not adversely
affect Lessor's title or interest in the Aircraft, Owner Participant's interest
in the Aircraft or the Lien of the Indenture or incur a risk of the assertion of
criminal charges against Lessor, Owner Participant or Indenture Trustee or any
danger of material civil liability against the Indenture Trustee or the Owner
Participant. Lessee shall promptly furnish or cause to be furnished to Lessor or
the Indenture Trustee such information as may be required to enable Lessor or
the Indenture Trustee to file any reports required to be filed by Lessor or the
Indenture Trustee with any governmental authority because of Lessor's ownership
of the Aircraft or Owner Participant's interest in the Aircraft or required (or
appropriate) to be filed by the Indenture Trustee to establish or maintain the
Lien of the Indenture with respect to the Aircraft.
Subject to compliance by Lessee with the terms of Section 19 of the
Participation Agreement, Lessor shall at the request and expense of Lessee
cooperate with Lessee and take all actions requested by Lessee to change the
registration of the Aircraft to another country.
Lessee will not fly or locate the Airframe or any Engine, or suffer
the Airframe or any Engine to be flown or located in any area excluded from
coverage by any insurance policy in effect with respect to the Airframe or
Engine required by the terms of Section 11, unless Lessee has obtained, prior to
the operation or location of the Airframe or any Engine in such area,
indemnification from the United States government, or other insurance, against
the risks and in the amounts required by, and in compliance with, Section 11
covering such area (except, in the case of a requisition for use by the United
States government, to the extent that Lessee certifies that such insurance is
unobtainable after diligent effort by Lessee or is obtainable only at
unreasonably high rates or on unduly burdensome terms and conditions) (and
naming Lessor, or so long as this Lease is assigned to the Indenture Trustee,
the Indenture Trustee, as loss payee in respect of indemnification or insurance
payable in respect of casualties to the Aircraft) or unless the Aircraft is only
temporarily located in such area as a result of an emergency or other similar
unforeseen circumstances and Lessee is using its good faith efforts to remove
the Aircraft from such area.
On or prior to the Delivery Date or as soon thereafter as practicable,
Lessee will cause to be affixed to, and maintained in, the cockpit of the
Airframe and on each Engine in a clearly visible location a plate of a
reasonable size and shape bearing the following legend:
"Wilmington Trust Company,
as Owner Trustee, Owner and Lessor."
and while the Lien of the Indenture is in effect the plate shall bear the
following additional legend:
- 26 -
<PAGE>
The Bank of New York,
as Indenture Trustee, Mortgagee."
During the Term, Lessee may letter, paint or mark the Aircraft with the name and
logo of Lessee or any permitted sublessee or transferee pursuant to Section 7(b)
and may cause the Aircraft to bear insignia plates or other markings identifying
the supplier or manufacturer of the Airframe or the Engines or any Parts
thereof. Except as provided above, Lessee will not allow the name of any person,
corporation or association to be placed on the Airframe or on any Engine as a
designation that might be interpreted as a claim of ownership.
(b) Possession and Subleasing. Lessee will not, without the prior
-------------------------
written consent of Lessor, sublease or otherwise in any manner deliver, transfer
or relinquish possession of the Aircraft, the Airframe or any Engine or install
any Engine, or permit any Engine to be installed, on any airframe other than the
Airframe; provided that, so long as no Event of Default (and in the case of
--------
subparagraphs (C), (F), (G) and (H) below, no Payment Default or Bankruptcy
Default) shall have occurred and be continuing and, so long as such action does
not deprive the Indenture Trustee of the perfected Lien of the Indenture on the
Airframe or, subject to the penultimate sentence of subparagraph (A) below, any
Engine, Lessee may, without the prior written consent of Lessor, do anything set
forth in the following subparagraphs (A) through (H):
(A) Subject the Airframe or permit the Airframe to be subjected to
normal interchange agreements, or subject any Engine or permit any Engine
to be subjected to normal interchange or pooling agreements or
arrangements, in each case entered into by Lessee (or any permitted
sublessee or transferee pursuant to this Section 7(b) under a sublease or
transfer then in effect) in the ordinary course of its business with a
vendor domiciled in the United States or in a country with which the United
States then maintains "normal" diplomatic relations or, so long as such
carrier is not the subject of any bankruptcy, liquidation or similar
proceeding and is not insolvent (by reference to such carrier's most
recently available financial statements), (x) with any United States air
carrier certificated under Section 41101 of the Act or any successor
provision or (y) with any "foreign air carrier" (as such term is defined in
the Act) listed in Exhibit B hereto organized in a country with which the
United States then maintains "normal" diplomatic relations and which is
either a party to the Convention on the International Recognition of Rights
in Aircraft or otherwise provides equivalent protection to owners, lessors
and mortgagees of aircraft (any such certificated United States air carrier
and any such foreign air carrier being hereinafter called a "Permitted Air
Carrier") and which are customary in the airline industry. No such
agreement or arrangement may contemplate, require or result in transfer of
title or registration to the Airframe or any Engine. If Lessor's title
- 27 -
<PAGE>
to any such Engine is divested under any such agreement or arrangement,
such divestiture shall be deemed to be an Event of Loss with respect to
such Engine and Lessee shall comply with Section 10(b) in respect thereof.
If Lessee's senior unsecured debt is not Investment Grade at the time of
the commencement of any such agreement or arrangement with a foreign air
carrier, Lessee shall furnish to Lessor and the Indenture Trustee the
opinion described in clause (G) below.
(B) Deliver or permit the delivery of possession of the Airframe or
any Engine to the manufacturer thereof for testing or other similar
purposes or to any organization for service, repair or maintenance work on
the Airframe or Engine or any Part or for alterations or modifications in
or additions to the Airframe or Engine to the extent required or permitted
by the terms of Section 8.
(C) Subject the Airframe or any Engine, or permit the Airframe or any
Engine to be subjected, to CRAF and transfer or permit the transfer of
possession of the Airframe or any Engine to the United States of America or
any instrumentality thereof pursuant to CRAF. Such transfer of possession
shall not continue beyond the end of the Term. Lessee (or any Permitted
Sublessee) shall promptly notify Lessor upon such transfer of possession
and provide Lessor with the name and address of the Contracting Office
Representative for the Military Airlift Command of the United States Air
Force to whom notices must be given.
(D) Install or permit the installation of an Engine on an airframe
which is owned by Lessee or any Permitted Sublessee free and clear of all
Liens except (x) those permitted under paragraphs (d), (e) and (f) of
Section 6 or those which do not apply to such Engine or to substantially
all of such airframe, (y) the rights of other Permitted Air Carriers under
normal interchange agreements which are customary in the airline industry
and which do not result in the transfer of title to such airframe or the
Engines installed thereon and (z) the Lien of any mortgage which expressly
and effectively provides that each Engine leased to Lessee hereby shall not
become subject to the Lien thereof, notwithstanding the installation
thereof on an airframe subject to the Lien of such mortgage, unless Lessee
or such Permitted Sublessee, as the case may be, shall become the owner of
such Engine.
(E) Install or permit the installation of an Engine on an airframe
leased to, or purchased by, Lessee or any Permitted Sublessee, which
airframe may or may not be subject to a conditional sale or other security
agreement. Such airframe must be free and clear of all Liens except the
rights of the parties to the lease or conditional sale or other security
agreement and their purchasers and mortgagees covering such airframe and
except Liens permitted by clauses (x) and (y) of subparagraph (D) above,
and Lessee or such Permitted
- 28 -
<PAGE>
Sublessee, as the case may be, must have received from the lessor,
conditional vendor or secured party of such airframe a written agreement
(which may be the lease or conditional sale agreement covering such
airframe), whereby such lessor, conditional vendor or secured party
expressly and effectively agrees that neither it nor its successors and
assigns will acquire or claim any right, title or interest in any Engine by
reason of such Engine being installed on such airframe.
(F) Install or permit the installation of an Engine on an airframe
owned by, leased to, or purchased by, Lessee or any Permitted Sublessee
subject to a conditional sale agreement in any such case under
circumstances where neither subparagraph (D) nor (E) above is applicable,
provided such installation shall be deemed an Event of Loss with respect to
--------
such Engine and Lessee shall comply with Section 10(b) in respect thereof.
Until Section 10(b) has been fully complied with, Lessor's interest in such
Engine shall continue in full force and effect.
(G) So long as the proposed sublessee is not the subject of any
bankruptcy, liquidation or similar proceeding and is not insolvent (by
reference to such proposed sublessee's most recently available financial
statement), sublease the Airframe or any Engine to any certificated United
States air carrier or, after the end of the Recapture Period, to any
Permitted Air Carrier, provided that Lessee shall notify Lessor, the
--------
Indenture Trustee and the Owner Participant of any such sublease as
provided below. Any such sublease (1) shall include provisions for the
maintenance, operation and insurance of the subleased equipment which are
substantially the same as, or (from a lessor's perspective) better than,
the provisions of Sections 7(a), 7(b), 11 and 12, (2) shall provide that
the sublessee may not further sublease the subleased equipment and (3)
shall not be for a period greater than the remaining Term. In the case of
any sublease to a foreign Permitted Air Carrier, (i) all necessary
governmental approvals required for the subleased equipment, the Airframe
or any Engine, as the case may be, to be imported and, to the extent
reasonably obtainable, exported from the applicable country of domicile
upon repossession of such subleased equipment by the Lessor (and Lessee as
sublessor) shall have been obtained prior to commencement of any such
sublease and any exchange permits necessary to allow all rent and other
payments provided for under any sublease assigned to Lessor hereunder shall
be in full force and effect; (ii) Lessee shall have furnished Lessor and
the Indenture Trustee (if the Indenture is then in effect) a favorable
opinion of counsel in the country of domicile of such foreign air carrier
reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and the Indenture Trustee (if the
Indenture is then in effect), that (a) the terms of the Lease and the
Indenture are the legal, valid and binding obligations of the parties
thereto enforceable under the laws of such jurisdiction, (b) it is not
necessary for the Owner
- 29 -
<PAGE>
Participant, the Lessor or the Indenture Trustee to register or qualify to
do business in such jurisdiction solely as a result of the proposed
sublease (based solely upon a review of the Operative Documents, and the
other agreements, instruments and documents delivered in connection
therewith, and written statements of the Owner Participant, the Lessor and
the Indenture Trustee describing the presence and activity of each of those
parties in such jurisdiction of domicile, and such other factual matters as
such counsel may reasonably request), (c) the Lessor's title to the
subleased equipment and the Indenture Trustee's Lien on the subleased
equipment will be recognized, (d) the laws of such jurisdiction of domicile
require fair compensation by the government of such jurisdiction payable in
a currency freely convertible into United States dollars for the loss of
use or of the title to the subleased equipment in the event of the
requisition by such government of such use or title (unless Lessee shall
provide insurance covering the requisition of use of or title to the
subleased equipment, as the case may be, by the government of such
jurisdiction so long as the subleased equipment is subject to such
sublease) and (e) the required agreement of such foreign air carrier that
its rights under the sublease are subject and subordinate to all the terms
of this Lease is enforceable against such foreign air carrier under
applicable law (subject only to customary exceptions to enforceability);
and (iii) Lessee shall furnish to Lessor evidence reasonably satisfactory
to Lessor that the insurance required by Section 11 remains in effect. No
sublease pursuant to this subparagraph (G) may be entered into unless
Lessor and the Indenture Trustee (if the Indenture is then in effect) shall
have received assurances reasonably satisfactory to them that all necessary
action shall have been taken to continue the perfection of Lessor's title
to and interest in the subleased equipment, Airframe and any Engine, the
Indenture Trustee's first priority perfected security interest therein,
Lessor's and the Indenture Trustee's rights under this Lease and all other
necessary documents shall have been duly filed, registered or recorded in
such public offices as may be required fully to preserve the title of, and
the priority of the interest of, Lessor and the Indenture Trustee in the
subleased equipment, Airframe and Engines. Any sublease entered into by
Lessee and having a term longer than 18 months shall be assigned by Lessee
to Lessor as security for the performance of all Lessee's obligations under
this Lease (and Lessee acknowledges that, if the Indenture is then in
effect, any such sublease has been assigned by Lessor to the Indenture
Trustee as security for the performance of all the Owner Trustee's
obligations under the Indenture); provided that except during the
--------
continuance of an Event of Default neither (x) the rentals payable
thereunder shall be required to be paid to Lessor or to the Indenture
Trustee, as the case may be, nor (y) the rights as lessor under any such
sublease shall vest (to the exclusion of Lessee as lessor thereunder) in
Lessor or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be.
- 30 -
<PAGE>
(H) Transfer or permit the transfer of possession of the Airframe or
any Engine to the United States of America (directly or acting through any
instrumentality or agency thereof whose obligations bear the full faith and
credit thereof) pursuant to a sublease, a copy of which shall be promptly
furnished to Lessor and the Indenture Trustee. Any such sublease shall
comply with the requirements of the second sentence of subparagraph (G)
above (in the case of clause (2) thereof, to the extent not prohibited by
applicable law).
No interchange agreement, transfer, sublease or other relinquishment of
possession permitted hereunder shall affect the registration of the Aircraft,
except to the extent permitted by Section 19 of the Participation Agreement. By
request of Lessee or Lessor and with the consent of the other (such consent not
to be unreasonably withheld after the requesting party provides any information
regarding such foreign air carrier or its domicile reasonably requested by the
other), any foreign air carrier may be added to or deleted from Exhibit B
hereto. The rights of any Permitted Sublessee (other than a transferee of an
Engine in a situation which is deemed an Event of Loss, once Lessee complies
with Section 10(b) in respect thereof) shall be subject and subordinate to all
the terms of this Lease. Any sublease permitted by subparagraph (G) or (H) of
this paragraph (b) shall be made expressly subject and subordinate to all the
restrictions and other terms of this Lease and, while the Indenture is in
effect, the Indenture, including, without limitation, in each instance the
covenants contained in Section 7(a) and Lessor's rights to repossession pursuant
to Section 15 and to avoid such sublease upon repossession and the Indenture
Trustee's rights to possession under the Indenture and hereunder (as Lessor's
assignee). No sublease or other transfer contemplated by this Section 7(b) shall
in any way affect Lessee's liabilities and obligations hereunder or under the
Participation Agreement or the Indemnity Agreement and, as between Lessor and
Lessee, Lessee shall continue to be primarily liable on all such obligations, as
if no such sublease or other transfer had occurred. No interchange agreement,
sublease or other relinquishment of possession of the Airframe or any Engine
permitted by this Section 7(b) shall in any way discharge or diminish any of
Lessee's obligations to Lessor hereunder or under the Participation Agreement or
the Indemnity Agreement or constitute a waiver of any of Lessor's rights and
remedies hereunder or thereunder. Lessee shall notify Lessor, Owner Participant
and Indenture Trustee of any sublease of the Airframe at least 30 days before
the execution and delivery thereof. Lessee shall provide Lessor and, so long as
the Indenture is in effect, the Indenture Trustee with a copy of any sublease of
the Aircraft having a term (including any renewal terms) of one year or more
within 15 days after execution and delivery thereof and of any other sublease
within 15 days after a request by Lessor.
If Lessee or any Permitted Sublessee receives from the lessor or
secured party of any airframe leased to, or purchased by, Lessee or any such
sublessee or transferee, which airframe may or
- 31 -
<PAGE>
may not be subject to a conditional sale or other security agreement, a written
agreement complying with the last sentence of subparagraph (E) of this Section
7(b), and the lease or conditional sale or other security agreement covering
such airframe also covers an engine or engines owned or leased by the lessor
under such lease or subject to a security interest in favor of the secured party
under such conditional sale or other security agreement, Lessor agrees for the
benefit of such lessor or secured party that neither Lessor nor the Indenture
Trustee, respectively, nor their respective successors and assigns will acquire
or claim, as against such lessor or secured party, any right, title or interest
in any such engine as the result of such engine being installed on the Airframe
at any time while such engine is subject to such lease or conditional sale or
other security agreement and owned or leased by such lessor or subject to a
security interest in favor of such secured party.
This paragraph (b) shall not apply to a merger, consolidation, sale or
assignment permitted by Section 13.
SECTION 8. Replacement and Addition of Parts. (a) Replacement of
--------------------------------- --------------
Parts. Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (c) of this Section 8, Lessee
- -----
will replace or cause to be replaced as promptly as practicable all Parts which
may from time to time become worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized,
confiscated, damaged beyond repair or permanently rendered unfit for use for any
reason whatsoever. In addition, Lessee or any Permitted Sublessee may remove in
the ordinary course of maintenance, service, repair 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 except as
--------
otherwise provided in Section 8(c) Lessee or such Permitted Sublessee shall
replace such Parts or cause them to be promptly replaced. All such replacement
parts shall be free and clear of all Liens (except in the case of replacement
parts temporarily installed and except for pooling arrangements permitted by
paragraph (b) of this Section 8 and Permitted Liens) and shall be in at least as
good operating condition and have at least the same value and utility as either
the Part being replaced or the equivalent Part originally included on the
Aircraft as of the Delivery Date (assuming the replaced Part was in at least as
good condition as required to be maintained hereunder). All such replacement
parts (except in the case of replacement parts temporarily installed and except
for parts subject to pooling arrangements permitted by paragraph (b) of this
Section 8) shall become the property of Lessor, shall constitute Parts hereunder
and shall immediately become subject to this Lease and shall be deemed part of
the Airframe or an Engine, as the case may be, for all purposes hereof to the
same extent as the Parts originally comprising, or installed on, such Airframe
or such Engine. The Parts replaced thereby shall become Lessee's property.
(b) Title to Parts. Any Part removed from the Airframe or any Engine
--------------
as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 8 may be
- 32 -
<PAGE>
subjected by Lessee or any Permitted Sublessee to normal pooling arrangements
customary in the airline industry entered into in the ordinary course of the
business of Lessee or such Permitted Sublessee with vendors or with other air
carriers. The Part replacing such removed Part shall be incorporated or
installed in or attached to the Airframe or Engine in accordance with paragraph
(a) of this Section 8 promptly after the removal of such removed Part. In
addition, any replacement Part when incorporated or installed in or attached to
the Airframe or any Engine in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section 8
may be owned by another air carrier subject to such a normal pooling
arrangement; provided that Lessee or such Permitted Sublessee shall, promptly
thereafter, either (i) cause title to such replacement Part to vest in Lessor in
accordance with said paragraph (a) by Lessee or such Permitted Sublessee
acquiring title thereto for the benefit of Lessor free and clear of all Liens
except Permitted Liens or (ii) replace such replacement Part by incorporating or
installing in or attaching to the Airframe or Engine a further replacement Part
owned by Lessee or such Permitted Sublessee free and clear of all Liens except
Permitted Liens and shall cause title to such further replacement Part to vest
in Lessor in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section 8.
(c) Alterations and Modifications. Lessee shall make or cause to be
-----------------------------
made such alterations and modifications in and additions to the Airframe and
each Engine as may be required from time to time to meet applicable requirements
of the FAA and any other governmental authority with jurisdiction (domestic or
foreign) over the Aircraft. Lessee or any Permitted Sublessee may in good faith
contest the validity or application of any such requirements in any reasonable
manner which does not adversely affect Lessor's title or interest in the
Aircraft or the Lien of the Indenture or incur a risk of the assertion of
criminal charges against Owner Participant or Lessor. In addition, Lessee or,
with Lessee's approval, any such Permitted Sublessee, at its own expense, may
from time to time make such alterations and modifications, including removal
(without replacement) of Parts which Lessee or such Permitted Sublessee deems
obsolete or no longer appropriate or suitable for use in the Airframe or such
Engine, and additions to the Airframe and each Engine as Lessee or such
Permitted Sublessee may in its reasonable judgment deem desirable in the proper
conduct of its business so long as such alterations, modifications, removals or
additions do not materially decrease the value, utility or remaining useful life
of the Aircraft or cause the Aircraft to become limited use property within the
meaning of Revenue Procedure 76-30 except that Lessee may in any event remove
any Part from the Aircraft, so long as it replaces such removed Part with a Part
equivalent to the corresponding Part installed on the Aircraft as of the
Delivery Date. Lessee shall monitor the removal of Parts in a manner sufficient
to comply with the foregoing. Title to each Part incorporated or installed in or
attached or added to the Airframe or such Engine as the result of such
alteration, modification, removal or addition shall remain in Lessee or such
Permitted
- 33 -
<PAGE>
Sublessee, as the case may be, and may be removed at any time during the Term;
provided that (i) such Part is in addition to, and not in replacement of or
- --------
substitution for, any Part originally incorporated or installed in or attached
or added to the Airframe or such Engine at the time of the delivery thereof
hereunder or any Part in replacement of, or substitution for, any such Part,
(ii) such Part is not required to be incorporated or installed in or attached to
the Airframe or such Engine pursuant to the terms of Section 7 or the first
sentence of this paragraph (c), (iii) such Part can be removed from the Airframe
or such Engine without diminishing the value, remaining useful life or utility
of the Airframe or the value or utility of such Engine and without impairing the
airworthiness which the Airframe would have had at such time had such
alteration, modification, removal or addition not occurred, assuming the
Aircraft or such Engine was otherwise maintained in the condition required by
the terms of this Lease, (iv) the cost of such Part was not paid by Lessor and
(v) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Title to all
other such Parts shall, without further act, vest in Lessor. Upon the removal of
any Part title to which is retained by Lessee or any Permitted Sublessee, Lessee
shall promptly repair any damage to the Airframe or Engine from which it was
removed which resulted from such removal and such Part shall no longer be deemed
part of the Airframe or such Engine from which it was removed. Any Part not
removed as provided above prior to the return to Lessor (including pursuant to
the exercise of remedies under Section 15) of the Airframe or such Engine
including such Part shall, without further act, become the property of Lessor
free and clear of all Liens except Permitted Liens. Title to any auxiliary fuel
tanks installed on the Airframe at the time of delivery of the Airframe from the
Manufacturer to Seller shall, whether or not such tanks are from time to time
installed on the Airframe, be vested in Lessor until such time, if any, as such
tanks (1) become unnecessary to operate the Aircraft at the range specified by
the Manufacturer in the Purchase Agreement and (2) are not otherwise required
modifications under this Section 8.
SECTION 9. Voluntary Termination. (a) Obsolete or Surplus Aircraft.
--------------------- ----------------------------
At any time after the end of the Recapture Period, so long as no Event of
Default or Payment Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessee may at
its option, on at least 90 days' prior written notice to Lessor, the Owner
Participant and the Indenture Trustee, terminate this Lease with respect to the
Aircraft on the date in any month specified in Exhibit A or, if not a Business
Day, the next succeeding Business Day (the "Termination Date"); provided that
--------
the Chief Financial Officer or Treasurer of Lessee certifies that the Aircraft
has become obsolete or surplus with respect to Lessee's requirements. Lessee
shall not revoke a notice of termination more than three times during the Basic
Term. A notice of termination shall not be treated as revoked if (i) Lessee
receives no bids for the cash purchase of the Aircraft on the Termination Date,
(ii) the only such bids are received from the Owner Participant, any Affiliate
thereof or any Person acting for the Owner Participant or such
- 34 -
<PAGE>
Affiliate and are less than Termination Value or (iii) no sale occurs on the
Termination Date by reason of default by the potential purchaser.
Unless Lessee receives notice from the Owner Participant pursuant to
the next to last paragraph of this Section 9(a), Lessee, as non-exclusive broker
for Lessor, shall use reasonable efforts to obtain bids for the cash purchase of
the Aircraft on the Termination Date. Lessor may also independently obtain bids
for such purchase and certify to Lessee the terms and amounts of each such bid
and the name and address of the person submitting the bid. Neither Lessee nor
any of its Affiliates may submit a bid, nor may Lessee accept a bid from any
person acting for or affiliated with Lessee or having any arrangement regarding
Lessee's or any of its Affiliates purchase or continued use of the Aircraft.
Lessee shall promptly certify to Lessor the terms and amount of each bid
received by Lessee and the name and address of the person submitting the bid;
provided that Lessee shall not be obligated to provide such a certification, nor
- --------
shall the Owner Participant inspect the bids received by Lessee with respect to
the Aircraft, unless the Owner Participant has given to Lessee binding and
irrevocable notice that neither the Owner Participant nor any of its Affiliates
nor any Person acting for the Owner Participant or such Affiliate will submit a
bid for the purchase of the Aircraft. Lessee may reject each bid (i) which is in
an amount less than the sum of the Termination Value computed as of the
Termination Date specified in Exhibit A plus all expenses incurred by Lessor,
the Owner Participant and the Indenture Trustee in connection with the sale and
(ii) which is from a purchaser unwilling or unable to use the Aircraft
(including use outside the United States) in a manner that will enable
Termination Value to be determined by reference to Schedule 1 to the Indemnity
Agreement.
Subject to the foregoing, on the Termination Date, Lessor shall sell
the Aircraft for cash to whomever shall have submitted the highest bid. The
total sales price realized at such sale, net of all expenses of the sale
(including commissions and any sales or transfer taxes) (the "Net Sales Price")
shall be retained by Lessor. In addition, on the date of such sale Lessee shall
pay to Lessor, or, in the case of Supplemental Rent, to the person entitled
thereto (subject in each case to Section 3(d) hereof), the sum of: (A) the
amount, if any, by which the Termination Value computed as of the Termination
Date exceeds the Net Sales Price, (B) the installment of Basic Rent (if
designated as payable in arrears, but not if payable in advance), if any, due on
the Termination Date if such Termination Date is a Payment Date, and (C) all
other amounts, whether Basic Rent, Supplemental Rent (including an amount equal
to the premium, if any, owing by Lessor in respect of the Certificates) or
otherwise, owing by Lessee to Lessor, the Owner Participant, the Indenture
Trustee and the Holders hereunder, under the Participation Agreement and the
Indemnity Agreement other than any installment of Basic Rent due after the
Termination Date. Upon such payment by Lessee and Lessor's payment in full of
the aggregate unpaid principal amount
- 35 -
<PAGE>
of all Certificates then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon to
the date of payment, plus such premium, if any, thereon and all other sums due
and payable on such date to the Indenture Trustee and the Holders hereunder or
under the Indenture, the Participation Agreement or the Certificates and
compliance by Lessor with the provisions of this Section 9(a) and Section 14.01
of the Indenture, this Lease shall terminate and Lessor will transfer without
recourse or warranty, except as set forth in Section 4, to the purchaser
thereof, all of Lessor's right, title and interest in and to the Airframe and
such Engines as are then installed thereon and to Lessee, all of Lessor's right,
title and interest in any Engines not then installed on the Airframe. Except as
provided above, if no sale occurs on the Termination Date and the Owner
Participant does not notify Lessee pursuant to the next to last paragraph of
this Section 9(a), this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as to the
Aircraft and Lessee shall pay the expenses incurred by Lessee, Lessor, the Owner
Participant and the Indenture Trustee in connection with the proposed sale.
Lessor and the Owner Participant may, but shall be under no duty to, solicit
bids, inquire into the efforts of Lessee to obtain bids or otherwise take action
in connection with any such sale other than, with respect to Lessor, to transfer
to the purchaser named in the highest cash bid certified by Lessee to Lessor
against payment therefor, without recourse or warranty (except that Lessor shall
make the same warranty to such purchaser as is set forth in Section 4 with
respect to title and Liens, as of the date of delivery of the Aircraft to such
purchaser), all Lessor's right, title and interest in and to such Aircraft.
The Owner Participant may, at any time within 45 days after it has
received a termination notice from Lessee, give written notice to Lessee and the
Indenture Trustee that the Owner Participant elects irrevocably to terminate
this Lease with respect to the Aircraft. On the Termination Date the Owner
Participant shall pay to the Indenture Trustee sufficient funds to enable it to
pay in full the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Certificates then
outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon to such Termination Date.
Effective on full payment to the Indenture Trustee of all the foregoing amounts
and on Lessee's full payment of the installment of Basic Rent, if any, due on
such Termination Date (if designated as payable in arrears but not if payable in
advance) plus all other amounts of Rent (including an amount equal to the
premium, if any, owing by Lessor in respect of the Certificates) and other
amounts payable by Lessee hereunder or under the Participation Agreement due on
or prior to such Termination Date other than any installment of Basic Rent due
after the Termination Date, this Lease shall terminate with respect to the
Aircraft; provided that this Lease shall continue in full force and effect
--------
unless such amounts are paid in full. If after giving an irrevocable notice the
Owner Participant fails to make the required payment on the Termination Date,
Lessee may complete the pending termination procedure hereunder by giving at
least 30 days prior written notice to Lessor of a new Termination Date (without
- 36 -
<PAGE>
regard to the 90-day limitation and without regard to Owner Participant's right
to terminate under this paragraph).
If this Lease terminates pursuant to this Section 9(a), Lessee shall
deliver the Airframe and the Engines or engines to or at the direction of Lessor
in the same condition and manner as if return were being made to Lessor pursuant
to Section 5(c), and shall duly transfer to Lessor title to any such engines
installed on the Airframe on the Termination Date not owned by Lessor, all in
accordance with the terms of said Section 5(c), and Lessor shall, subject to
Lessee's compliance with the provisions of this Section 9(a), duly transfer to
Lessee title to any Engines not installed on the Airframe on the Termination
Date.
(b) Replacement Engines. So long as no Event of Default shall have
-------------------
occurred and be continuing, Lessee may at any time, on at least 30 days' prior
written notice to Lessor, terminate this Lease with respect to any Engine not
then installed or held for use on the Airframe by replacing such Engine in
accordance with the terms of paragraph (b) of Section 10 to the same extent as
if an Event of Loss had occurred with respect to such Engine.
SECTION 10. Loss, Destruction, Requisition, etc. (a) Event of Loss
----------------------------------- -------------
with Respect to the Airframe. Lessee shall notify Lessor promptly and in any
- ----------------------------
event within 15 days of the occurrence of an Event of Loss with respect to the
Airframe or with respect to the Airframe and the Engines or engines then
installed on the Airframe. By written notice to Lessor, the Indenture Trustee
and the Owner Participant given within 60 days after the occurrence of such
Event of Loss, Lessee shall elect one of the following two alternatives (failure
by Lessee to make such election within said 60 days being deemed an election of
alternative (i)):
(i) pay to Lessor on a date as provided in the last paragraph of this
Section 10(a), (A) the Stipulated Loss Value for the Aircraft, computed as
of the date specified in Exhibit A coinciding with or next preceding the
date of payment, plus interest at the Debt Rate from such date specified in
Exhibit A to the date of payment, (B) the Basic Rent installment payment,
if any, due on such date of payment (if payable in arrears but not if
payable in advance), plus any other amounts of Basic Rent which shall be
due and unpaid other than any installment of Basic Rent due after such
date, (C) all other amounts, whether Supplemental Rent (including an amount
equal to the premium, if any, owing by Lessor in respect of the
Certificates) or otherwise, owing by Lessee to Lessor, the Owner
Participant, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders hereunder, under the
Participation Agreement, the Indenture, the Certificates or the Indemnity
Agreement and (D) any reasonable out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred
in connection with such Event of Loss and the related prepayment of the
Certificates by Lessor, the Owner Participant, the Holders or the Indenture
Trustee. Upon payment in full of such amounts, (x) this Lease, including
the obligation of
- 37 -
<PAGE>
Lessee hereunder to pay all succeeding installments of Basic Rent, shall
terminate and (y) provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is
--------
continuing, Lessor shall transfer to Lessee (subject to any insurer's
salvage rights and in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.08 of the
Indenture), without recourse or warranty, except as set forth in Section 4,
all of Lessor's right, title and interest, if any, in and to the Aircraft.
In connection with such transfer, Lessee shall prepare and Lessor shall
execute or forward to the Indenture Trustee for execution, as the case may
be, all in recordable form, a bill of sale evidencing such transfer, a
termination of this Lease, a release of the Indenture and such other
documents (including Uniform Commercial Code termination statements) as
Lessee reasonably requests, or
(ii) provided that no Event of Default or Payment or Bankruptcy
--------
Default shall have occurred and be continuing and that Lessee shall have
reimbursed the reasonable expenses of all parties entitled thereto pursuant
to this clause (ii), Lessee shall cause to be duly conveyed to Lessor, as
replacement for the Airframe and Engines with respect to which such Event
of Loss occurred, title to a McDonnell Douglas MD-11 airframe which was
delivered initially by the Manufacturer no earlier than 1993 and having at
least the equivalent value, utility and remaining useful life as the
Airframe being replaced had immediately prior to the occurrence of such
Event of Loss (assuming the Airframe had been maintained in accordance with
this Lease), and title to a number of engines equal to the number of
Engines with respect to which such Event of Loss has occurred of the same
make and model (or engines of another manufacturer suitable for
installation and use on the Airframe, provided that all three replacement
--------
engines shall be of identical make and model and any replacement engines of
a different manufacturer than the original Engines shall be then commonly
used in the commercial passenger aviation industry on MD-11 series
airframes) and in at least as good operating condition and having at least
the same value and utility as the Engine being replaced had immediately
before such Event of Loss occurred, assuming such Engine is in at least as
good condition as required to be maintained hereunder, in each case to be
owned by Lessee free and clear of all Liens whatsoever (other than
Permitted Liens), in passenger configuration, duly certified as an
airworthy aircraft by the FAA and being in good operating condition, but in
all events in at least as good operating condition and repair as required
by the terms hereof, in each such case, immediately prior to the occurrence
of such Event of Loss. In such case Lessee will promptly (A) furnish Lessor
with bills of sale, in form and substance satisfactory to Lessor, covering
such replacement airframe, engine or engines, as the case may be, (B) cause
such replacement airframe to be duly registered in the name of Lessor
pursuant to the Act or the laws of such other jurisdiction in which
registration is
- 38 -
<PAGE>
permitted pursuant to Section 19 of the Participation Agreement, (C) cause
supplements hereto and to the Trust Agreement and the Indenture, in form
and substance satisfactory to Lessor, covering such replacement airframe,
engine or engines, as the case may be, under this Lease, to be, in the case
of the supplement to this Lease, duly executed by Lessee and, in the case
of each such supplement, recorded pursuant to the Act or such laws, (D)
furnish Lessor with such evidence (which shall be in the form of an
appraisal or other report, as the case may be, from a qualified independent
expert or experts reasonably satisfactory to Lessor) of the value and
utility of, and good title to, such replacement airframe, engine or
engines, and airworthiness, residual value and remaining useful life of
such replacement airframe and the airworthiness after replacement of the
Aircraft, and of compliance with the insurance provisions of Section 11
with respect to such replacement airframe, engine or engines, as the case
may be, as Lessor reasonably requests, (E) furnish Lessor with all
documents, certificates and opinions necessary to enable Lessor to comply
with the requirements of Section 9.08 of the Indenture, (F) furnish Lessor
and the Owner Participant with an opinion in form and substance
satisfactory to the Owner Participant of tax counsel chosen by the Owner
Participant and reasonably acceptable to the Lessee as to the absence of
any risk of adverse tax consequences to Lessor and the Owner Participant of
such replacement or if such opinion cannot be given, an indemnity in form
and substance satisfactory to the Owner Participant against such adverse
tax consequences, (G) assign to Lessor all manufacturer's and vendor's
warranties with respect to such replacement, (H) furnish Lessor, the
Indenture Trustee and the Owner Participant with an opinion addressed to
each of them, of counsel reasonably acceptable to them to the effect that
the benefits of Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code would be available to
Lessor and Indenture Trustee with respect to such replacement airframe,
engine or engines and (I) take such other action as Lessor reasonably
requests in order that title to such replacement airframe, engine or
engines, as the case may be, is duly and properly vested in Lessor, leased
hereunder and subjected to the Lien of the Indenture to the same extent as
the Airframe, Engine or Engines replaced thereby.
Upon full compliance by Lessee with the terms of this subparagraph (a)
(ii), Lessor will transfer to Lessee (subject to any insurer's salvage
rights and in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.08 of the
Indenture), without recourse or warranty, except as set forth in Section 4,
all of Lessor's right, title and interest, if any, in and to the Airframe,
Engine or Engines with respect to which such Event of Loss occurred. In
connection with such transfer, Lessee shall prepare and Lessor shall
execute or forward to the Indenture Trustee for execution, as the case may
be, all in recordable form, a bill of sale evidencing such transfer, a
release of
- 39 -
<PAGE>
the Airframe and Engines with respect to which such Event of Loss occurred
from the Indenture and such other documents (including Uniform Commercial
Code amending statements) as Lessee reasonably requests. Any Engine not
installed on the Airframe when such Event of Loss occurred shall continue
to be the property of Lessor and leased hereunder as part of the
replacement aircraft. For all purposes hereof, the replacement airframe and
each replacement engine shall be deemed part of the property leased
hereunder; the replacement airframe shall be deemed an "Airframe" as
defined herein; each replacement engine shall be deemed an "Engine" as
defined herein; and the replacement airframe and each replacement engine
shall be deemed part of the Aircraft to the same extent as was the Airframe
or Engine, as the case may be, replaced thereby. Nothing contained in this
subparagraph (a) (ii) shall change Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss Values or
Termination Values, other than any adjustments made pursuant to the
Indemnity Agreement. Any such adjustment shall be subject to clause (y) of
the definitions of "Stipulated Loss Value" and "Termination Value."
If alternative (i) above is elected or deemed to be elected by Lessee,
Lessee shall fully perform the same not later than the earlier of (x) 120 days
following the occurrence of such Event of Loss and (y) 15 days following the
date of receipt of insurance proceeds with respect to such occurrence. If
alternative (ii) above is elected by Lessee and Lessee has not fully performed
the same within 120 days of the occurrence of such Event of Loss, in the event
that any amounts held by Lessor (or, so long as the Indenture shall be in
effect, the Indenture Trustee) in respect of such Event of Loss are less than
the Stipulated Loss Value thereof, Lessee will deposit with Lessor or the
Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, the amount of any deficiency as security
on such 120th day; provided, however, that if Lessee has not fully performed
-------- -------
alternative (ii) above within 180 days following the occurrence of such Event of
Loss, Lessee shall be deemed to have elected alternative (i) and shall
immediately perform its obligations thereunder, and the Indenture Trustee, or
Lessor if the Indenture shall have been discharged, shall apply the aforesaid
amounts held by it as a credit against such obligations.
(b) Event of Loss with Respect to an Engine. Upon the occurrence of
---------------------------------------
an Event of Loss with respect to an Engine in any case where the provisions of
paragraph (a) of this Section 10 are not applicable, Lessee shall give Lessor
prompt written notice thereof and shall, within 60 days after the occurrence of
such Event of Loss, duly convey to Lessor, as replacement for the Engine with
respect to which such Event of Loss occurred, title to another engine of the
same make and model (or engines of another manufacturer suitable for
installation and use on the Airframe) having at least the same value and utility
as the respective Engine being replaced had immediately prior to the occurrence
of such Event of Loss (assuming such Engine had been maintained in accordance
with the terms of this Lease), owned by Lessee free and
- 40 -
<PAGE>
clear of all Liens whatsoever and in at least as good operating condition as the
Engine with respect to which such Event of Loss occurred, but in all events in
at least as good condition and repair as required by the terms hereof
immediately prior to the occurrence of such Event of Loss, provided that after
--------
any replacement all three Engines shall be of identical make and model and any
replacement engines of a different manufacturer than the original Engines shall
be then commonly in use in the commercial passenger aviation industry on MD-11
series airframes. In such case, Lessee, at its own expense, will promptly (i)
furnish Lessor with a bill of sale, in form and substance satisfactory to Lessor
with respect to such replacement engine, (ii) cause supplements hereto and to
the Trust Agreement and the Indenture, in form and substance satisfactory to
Lessor, subjecting such replacement engine to this Lease, in the case of the
supplement to this Lease, to be duly executed by Lessee and, in the case of each
such supplement, recorded pursuant to the Act, (iii) furnish Lessor with such
evidence of compliance with the insurance provisions of Section 11 with respect
to such replacement engine as Lessor reasonably requests and furnish Lessor with
such evidence of Lessee's title to such replacement engine, (iv) furnish Lessor
with all documents, certificates and opinions necessary to enable Lessor to
comply with the requirements of Section 9.08 of the Indenture, (v) furnish
Lessor and the Owner Participant with an opinion in form and substance
satisfactory to Owner Participant of tax counsel chosen by the Owner
Participant, and reasonably acceptable to Lessee, as to the absence of any risk
of adverse tax consequences to Lessor and the Owner Participant of such
replacement, or if such opinion cannot be given, an indemnity satisfactory to
the Owner Participant for such tax consequences, (vi) furnish Lessor with an
officer's certificate certifying that such replacement engine has the value and
utility required by this Section 10(b), (vii) assign to Lessor the benefit of
all manufacturer's and vendor's warranties with respect to such replacement
engine and (viii) take such other action as Lessor reasonably requests in order
that title to such replacement engine be duly and properly vested in Lessor,
leased hereunder and subjected to the Lien of the Indenture to the same extent
as the Engine replaced thereby. Upon full compliance by Lessee with the terms of
this paragraph (b), Lessor will, provided no Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, transfer to Lessee (subject to any insurer's salvage rights and
in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.08 of the Indenture), without
recourse or warranty except as set forth in Section 4, all of Lessor's right,
title and interest, if any, in and to the Engine with respect to which such
Event of Loss occurred. In connection with such transfer, Lessee shall prepare
and Lessor shall execute or forward to the Indenture Trustee for execution, as
the case may be, all in recordable form, a bill of sale evidencing such
transfer, a release of the Engine with respect to which such Event of Loss
occurred from the Indenture and such other documents (including Uniform
Commercial Code amending statements) as Lessee reasonably requests, all at
Lessee's sole cost and expense. For all purposes hereof, each such replacement
engine shall be deemed part of the property leased hereunder, shall be deemed an
"Engine"
- 41 -
<PAGE>
as defined herein and shall be deemed part of the Aircraft to the same extent as
was the Engine replaced thereby. An Event of Loss covered by this paragraph (b)
shall not result in any change in Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss Value, Termination
Value or the EBO Percentage, other than any adjustments made pursuant to the
Indem-nity Agreement, and any such adjustment shall be subject to clause (y) of
the definitions of "Stipulated Loss Value" and "Termination Value".
(c) Application of Payments from Governmental Authorities or Others.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Any payments received at any time by Lessor or by Lessee from any governmental
authority or other party with respect to an Event of Loss resulting from the
condemnation, confiscation, conversion, theft or seizure of, or requisition of
title to or use of, the Airframe or any Engine will be applied as follows:
(i) If such payments are received with respect to the Airframe or
with respect to the Airframe and the Engines or engines then installed on
the Airframe and alternative (i) in paragraph (a) of this Section 10 is the
alternative performed or to be performed by Lessee, so much of such
payments (net of any and all unreimbursed costs, losses and expenses
incurred by Lessor, the Owner Participant and the Indenture Trustee) as
shall not exceed the Stipulated Loss Value required to be paid by Lessee
pursuant to said paragraph (a) shall be paid to Lessor in reduction of
Lessee's obligation to pay such Stipulated Loss Value if not already paid
in full by Lessee, or, if already paid by Lessee, shall, provided neither
--------
an Event of Default nor a Payment Default has occurred and is continuing
(otherwise such proceeds shall be held pursuant to Section 24 as security
for Lessee's obligations hereunder and under the other Operative
Documents), be applied to reimburse Lessee for its payment of such
Stipulated Loss Value and the balance, if any, remaining after such
application shall be divided between Lessee and Lessor as the respective
interests of Lessee and Lessor may appear relative to the values of
Lessee's leasehold interest in the Aircraft and Lessor's ownership of the
Aircraft subject to this Lease; and
(ii) If such payments are received with respect to the Airframe or
with respect to the Airframe and the Engines then installed on the Airframe
and alternative (ii) in paragraph (a) of this Section 10 is the alternative
performed or to be performed by Lessee, or if such payment is received with
respect to an Engine not then installed on the Airframe under the
circumstances contemplated by paragraph (b) of this Section 10, all such
payments (net of any and all unreimbursed costs, losses and expenses
incurred by Lessor, the Owner Participant and the Indenture Trustee) shall
be paid over to, or retained by, Lessee, provided that Lessee shall have
--------
fully performed the terms of this Section 10 with respect to the Event of
Loss for which such payments are made, and provided further that neither an
-------- -------
Event of Default nor a Payment Default
- 42 -
<PAGE>
shall have occurred and be continuing (otherwise such proceeds shall be
held pursuant to Section 24 as security for Lessee's obligations hereunder
and under the other Operative Documents).
(d) Requisition for Use with Respect to the Airframe and Engines
------------------------------------------------------------
Installed Thereon. If the Airframe or the Airframe and the Engines or engines
- -----------------
then installed on the Airframe is requisitioned for use by a Requisitioning
Government, Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor of such requisition and all
Lessee's obligations under this Lease with respect to the Aircraft shall
continue to the same extent as if such requisition had not occurred, except to
the extent that any failure or delay in repairing or maintaining the Aircraft
shall have been caused by such requisition. All payments received by Lessor,
Lessee or any Permitted Sublessee in connection with any such requisition for
use (other than any such requisition which constitutes an Event of Loss, as to
which the provisions of Section 10(c) shall govern) or pursuant to Section 7(b)
under a sublease or transfer then in effect from a Requisitioning Government for
the use of the Airframe and Engines or engines during the Term shall be paid
over to, or retained by, Lessee and/ or such Permitted Sublessee, provided that
--------
neither an Event of Default nor Payment or Bankruptcy Default shall have
occurred and be continuing (otherwise such proceeds shall be held pursuant to
Section 24 as security for Lessee's obligations hereunder and under the
Participation Agreement). All payments received by Lessor, Lessee or any such
Permitted Sublessee from a Requisitioning Government for the use of the Airframe
and Engines after the Term shall be paid over to, or retained by, Lessor (or
Lessee if it shall have purchased Lessor's interest therein). Lessee shall
promptly notify Lessor or cause Lessor to be notified in writing of such
requisition. In the event of any such requisition for use, Lessee agrees to use
its best efforts to obtain reimbursement from the United States government or
any agency or instrumentality thereof to Lessor and the Owner Participant for
damages suffered by Lessor and the Owner Participant as a result of such
requisition for use. Lessee agrees to notify Lessor or cause Lessor to be
notified promptly in writing in advance of the time when any negotiations
between Lessee and or any such Permitted Sublessee and a Requisitioning
Government with respect to any such requisition shall commence and will consult
with Lessor regarding methods or procedures that are appropriate to effect
recovery from such Requisitioning Government for any damages suffered by Lessor
and the Owner Participant by reason of such requisition for use.
(e) Requisition for Use by a Requisitioning Government of an Engine
---------------------------------------------------------------
Not Installed on the Airframe. If an Engine not then installed on the Airframe
- -----------------------------
is requisitioned for use by a Requisitioning Government, Lessee shall replace
such engine or cause it to be replaced by complying with the terms of Section
10(b) to the same extent as if an Event of Loss had occurred with respect to
such Engine as of the date of such requisition. Any payments received by Lessor,
Lessee or any Permitted Sublessee from a Requisitioning Government with respect
to such requisition shall
- 43 -
<PAGE>
be paid over to, or retained by, Lessee and/or such assignee, sublessee or
transferee, provided that neither an Event of Default nor a Payment Default
--------
shall have occurred and be continuing (otherwise such proceeds shall be held
pursuant to Section 24 as security for Lessee's obligations hereunder and under
the other Operative Documents).
SECTION 11. Insurance. Lessee will at all times during the Term
---------
cause insurance to be carried and maintained with insurers of recognized
responsibility on or with respect to the Aircraft, at its own cost and expense,
against such risks (including, without limitation, all-risk hull, public
liability, property damage, bodily injury, passenger liability and contractual
liability insurance), in such amounts, with such deductibles or self-insurance
amounts as Lessee customarily maintains with respect to similar aircraft owned
or operated by Lessee operating on similar routes in similar geographic
locations.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lessee's senior unsecured long-term
debt is rated Investment Grade (or, if Lessee has no rated unsecured long-term
debt, Lessee has an equivalent credit standing), Lessee may self-insure in any
amount (by means of a deductible, self-insured retentions or otherwise) with
respect to hull insurance and maintain a deductible in any amount with respect
to all other insurance, including liability insurance, required to be carried
and maintained hereunder. If Lessee's senior unsecured long-term debt is rated
below Investment Grade (or, if Lessee has no rated unsecured long-term debt,
Lessee has an equivalent credit standing), Lessee may self-insure with respect
to all insurance, including liability insurance, in amounts conforming to the
then existing average standard for United States passenger airlines of similar
size and standing as determined by an independent aircraft insurance expert
designated by Lessee and reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and the Owner
Participant. The foregoing sentence shall take effect as from the next scheduled
renewal of Lessee's relevant insurance coverage following the time when Lessee's
senior unsecured long term debt is downgraded to below Investment Grade. The
foregoing shall not permit Lessee to discriminate as between insurance coverage
on the Aircraft and insurance which Lessee maintains with respect to similar
aircraft owned or operated by Lessee operating on similar routes in similar
geographic locations. Unless Lessor and the Owner Participant, in their sole
discretion, give their written consent to the contrary, Lessee shall maintain
hull insurance in an amount not less than Stipulated Loss Value from time to
time and liability insurance in an amount not less than the amount per
occurrence set forth on the insurance certificate delivered by Lessee pursuant
to Section 3(f) of the Participation Agreement. While Lessee's senior unsecured
long-term debt is rated below Investment Grade (or, if Lessee has no rated
senior unsecured long-term debt, Lessee has an equivalent credit standing),
Lessee may carry and maintain insurance with respect to the Aircraft with
Captive Insurance Companies (as hereinafter defined) only to the extent that the
sum of (1) the amount which Lessee carries and maintains with Captive Insurance
Companies and
- 44 -
<PAGE>
(2) the amount which Lessee otherwise self insures with respect to the Aircraft
(whether by means of a deductible, self-insured retention or otherwise) does not
exceed the amount of self insurance permitted by the foregoing provisions of
this Section. "Captive Insurance Company" means any insurance company which is
an Affiliate of Lessee; provided that a Captive Insurance Company shall not
include any such insurance company (i) which is itself an insurance company of
recognized responsibility or (ii) which fully reinsures (pursuant to contracts
of reinsurance which include a cut-through clause in favor of Lessor) all risks
with respect to the Aircraft with an insurance company of recognized
responsibility.
During any period of (i) the requisition for use by the United States
government or any agency or instrumentality thereof whose obligations bear the
full faith and credit of the United States or (ii) any transfer of possession to
the United States of America or any agency or instrumentality thereof pursuant
to Section 7(b)(C) or Section 7(b)(H) of the Airframe or the Airframe and the
Engines or engines then installed on the Airframe during the Basic Term or the
Renewal Term, if any, Lessee shall carry and maintain or cause to be carried and
maintained the same insurance required pursuant to this Section 11 (except to
the extent that Lessee certifies that such insurance shall be unobtainable after
diligent effort by Lessee or shall be obtainable only at unreasonably high rates
or on unduly burdensome terms and conditions); provided that Lessor, the Owner
--------
Participant and the Indenture Trustee shall accept, in lieu of such insurance
coverage, written indemnification or insurance from the United States of America
which is substantially the same as otherwise required hereunder and is
acceptable to Lessor and the Owner Participant.
All insurance policies required to be carried and maintained hereunder
shall name Lessee and any Permitted Sublessee as the case may be, as named
insured, and shall name Lessor (including in its individual capacity with
respect to liability policies only), the Indenture Trustee, and the Owner
Participant, as additional insureds (collectively the "Additional Insureds") and
shall afford each thereof the rights but not the obligations of a co-insured or
additional insured (including any obligation in respect of premiums). All
insurance policies required hereunder shall contain a "breach of warranty"
clause satisfactory to Lessor, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Participant
providing that in respect of the respective interests of the Additional Insureds
in such policies the insurance shall not be invalidated by any action or
inaction of Lessee or any such Permitted Sublessee, as the case may be, or
others and shall insure the Additional Insureds as their interests may appear,
regardless of any breach or violation by Lessee or any such Permitted Sublessee
or other person, as the case may be, of any condition, declaration, warranty or
provision of any such policies. Each liability policy and hull policy shall be
primary without right of contribution from any Additional Insured or any other
insurance which is carried by any Additional Insured with respect to its
interest as such in the Aircraft. Each such
- 45 -
<PAGE>
policy shall waive any right of subrogation of the insurers against the
Additional Insureds and shall waive any right of the insurers to any set-off or
counterclaim or any other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, in
respect of any liability of the Additional Insureds or Lessee. Each such policy
shall provide that, if such insurance lapses for nonpayment of any premium or
installment when due, or if such insurance is canceled or terminated for any
reason whatsoever, or if the scope of coverage or the limits of liability are
reduced or any other materially adverse change is made in or to the rights of
the Additional Insureds, the insurers will promptly notify Lessee, Lessor, the
Indenture Trustee and the Owner Participant in writing and any such lapse,
cancellation, termination or change shall not be effective as to Lessor, the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner Participant or any other Additional Insured for
30 days after receipt of such notice, and that appropriate certification shall
be made to Lessor, the Owner Participant and the Indenture Trustee by each
insurer with respect thereto. Each liability policy shall expressly provide that
all of the provisions thereof shall operate in the same manner as if there were
a separate policy covering each insured; provided that such policies shall not
--------
operate to increase the insurer's limit of liability.
All policies required hereunder covering loss or damage to the
Aircraft shall provide that all losses thereunder (but not in excess of
Stipulated Loss Value) shall be payable solely to Lessor (or to the Indenture
Trustee, so long as this Lease is assigned to the Indenture Trustee) as sole
loss payee. All insurance proceeds under such policies received as the result of
the occurrence of an Event of Loss with respect to the Airframe or an Engine
will be applied as follows:
(a) if such proceeds are received with respect to the Airframe or
with respect to the Airframe and the Engines or engines then installed on
the Airframe and alternative (i) in Section 10(a) is the alternative
performed or to be performed by Lessee, so much of such proceeds as shall
not exceed the Stipulated Loss Value and Rent required to be paid by Lessee
pursuant to alternative (i) of Section 10(a) shall be applied in reduction
of Lessee's obligation to pay such Stipulated Loss Value and Rent if not
already paid by Lessee, or, if already paid by Lessee, shall be applied to
reimburse Lessee for its payment of such Stipulated Loss Value and Rent,
provided that neither an Event of Default nor a Payment Default or
--------
Bankruptcy Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and the balance,
if any, of such proceeds remaining thereafter will be paid to the order of
Lessee; if and so long as the foregoing proviso is not satisfied, such
proceeds shall be held pursuant to Section 24 as security for Lessee's
obligations hereunder and under the other Operative Documents; and
(b) if such proceeds are received with respect to the Airframe or the
Airframe and the Engines or engines then
- 46 -
<PAGE>
installed on the Airframe and alternative (ii) in Section 10(a) is the
alternative to be performed by Lessee, or if such proceeds are received
with respect to an Engine not then installed on the Airframe under the
circumstances contemplated by Section 10(b), all such proceeds (minus the
net amount, if any, payable by Lessee with respect to such proceeds or such
substitution under Section 5 of the Indemnity Agreement) shall be paid to
the order of Lessee or any Permitted Sublessee designated by Lessee,
provided that Lessee shall have fully performed or caused to be performed
--------
the terms of Section 10(a) or (b) with respect to the Event of Loss for
which such proceeds are paid and provided further that neither an Event of
-------- -------
Default nor a Payment Default or Bankruptcy Default shall have occurred and
be continuing; if and so long as the immediately preceding proviso is not
satisfied, such proceeds shall be held pursuant to Section 24 as security
for Lessee's obligations hereunder and under the other Operative Documents.
The proceeds of any property damage loss not constituting an Event of Loss with
respect to the Airframe or any Engine will be applied in payment for repairs or
for replacement property in accordance with the terms of Sections 7 and 8, if
not already paid for by, or to reimburse, Lessee or any Permitted Sublessee (in
either case, upon receipt by Indenture Trustee of related invoices) and any
balance remaining after compliance with said Sections 7 and 8 with respect to
such loss shall be paid to the order of Lessee or any such Permitted Sublessee
designated by Lessee, provided that neither an Event of Default nor a Payment
--------
Default shall have occurred and be continuing; if and so long as the foregoing
proviso is not satisfied, such proceeds shall be held pursuant to Section 24 as
security for Lessee's obligations hereunder and under the other Operative
Documents.
In the first quarter of each calendar year beginning in 1995 and
thereafter during the Basic Term and the Renewal Term, if any, a detailed report
signed by an aviation insurance broker of nationally recognized standing
retained by Lessee or by any Permitted Sublessee shall be furnished to Lessor,
the Owner Participant and the Indenture Trustee. Such report shall describe in
reasonable detail all insurance carried on or with respect to the Aircraft as
required by this Lease, shall state that such insurance is in full force and
effect and state that, in the opinion of such insurance broker, the insurance
then carried and maintained on or with respect to the Aircraft complies with the
terms hereof. Lessee will cause such aviation insurance broker to advise Lessor
and the Indenture Trustee in writing of any default in the payment of any
premium and of any other act or omission on the part of Lessee or any such
Permitted Sublessee, as the case may be, of which such aviation insurance broker
has knowledge and which might invalidate or render unenforceable, in whole or in
part, any insurance on or with respect to the Aircraft promptly upon the
occurrence thereof or at such later time as such broker shall have knowledge
thereof. All insurance policies required hereunder shall provide that Lessor and
the Indenture Trustee be advised in writing
- 47 -
<PAGE>
of the reduction or termination of coverage at least 30 days prior to the
expiration date or termination of any insurance carried and maintained on or
with respect to the Aircraft.
If any party required to be named as an additional insured under any
insurance policies required to be carried and maintained hereunder becomes
subject to a claim covered by such insurance, Lessee shall make available any
information required by such party in connection with such claims.
In the event that Lessee or any Permitted Sublessee shall fail to
maintain or cause to be maintained insurance as herein provided, Lessor may, but
is under no duty to, at its option obtain such insurance (giving Lessee prompt
written notice thereof) and, in such event, Lessee shall, upon demand, reimburse
Lessor, as Supplemental Rent, for the cost to Lessor of such insurance, together
with interest thereon at the Past Due Rate for the period commencing with the
date such cost was paid to the date of reimbursement.
Lessee, any Permitted Sublessee, Lessor and the Owner Participant
shall each have the right to carry hull and liability insurance on the Aircraft
for its own benefit, as its respective interests may appear, in amounts over and
above the amounts required by the foregoing provisions, provided that no
--------
insurance carried by Lessor or the Owner Participant may effectively limit the
amount or type of insurance carried by Lessee.
SECTION 12. Inspection. At all reasonable times and upon reasonable
----------
notice, Lessor, the Owner Participant, and the Indenture Trustee or their
respective authorized representatives, may inspect the Aircraft and the books
and records of Lessee or a Permitted Sublessee relating thereto from time to
time and may make copies of those parts of such books and records not reasonably
deemed confidential by Lessee. Such inspection of the Aircraft shall be a
visual, walk-around inspection which may include going on board the Aircraft but
shall not include opening any panels, bays, or other components of the Aircraft
(except to the extent any such inspection takes place when any such panels, bays
or other components are open) and shall be conducted so as not to unreasonably
interfere with Lessee's operation and maintenance of the Aircraft. No Inspecting
Party shall have any duty to make any such inspection or incur any liability or
obligation by making or not making any such inspection, unless by making such
inspection such Inspecting Party wrongfully interferes with Lessee's operation
and maintenance of the Aircraft. Any inspection made pursuant to this Section 12
shall be at the sole expense and risk of the relevant Inspecting Party. Lessee
shall make any permitted sublease or transfer permitted under Section 7(b)
expressly subject to inspection rights consistent with this Section 12. Any
inspection made pursuant to this Section 12 shall be made by no more than two
authorized representatives of each Inspecting Party. Lessee agrees to respond in
a timely fashion to any Inspecting
- 48 -
<PAGE>
Party's inquiries regarding the scheduling of any letter check or heavy
maintenance visit with respect to the Aircraft.
SECTION 13. Assignment, Citizenship, etc. (a) Merger, etc. Lessee may
----------------------------- ------------
not sell or convey substantially all its property and assets, or consolidate
with or merge into, any other corporation, or otherwise assign any of its rights
or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Lessor, except as
provided in Section 12(d) of the Participation Agreement. Lessee will at all
times be a duly certificated air carrier under the Act (or, if either the Act or
the certification requirements thereunder are superseded, will at all times be
authorized under the laws of the United States to be a common carrier of persons
by air).
(b) Assignment. Except as otherwise provided herein or as expressly
----------
permitted by and subject to the provisions of the Trust Agreement, the Indenture
or the Participation Agreement, Lessor will not assign or convey all or any
portion of its right, title and interest in and to this Lease and the Aircraft.
Any permitted transferee shall be a Citizen of the United States and shall
expressly assume in writing all of the obligations of Lessor under this Lease.
(c) Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of this Lease
----------------------
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Lessor and Lessee and shall
inure, to the extent expressly provided herein, to the direct benefit of, and in
accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and the Participation Agreement
shall be enforceable by, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Participant, and
their respective successors and assigns.
SECTION 14. Events of Default. Each of the following events shall
-----------------
constitute an Event of Default (whether any such event shall be voluntary or
involuntary or come about or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to or
in compliance with any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule
or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):
(a) Lessee shall fail to make any payment of Basic Rent, Stipulated
Loss Value or Termination Value within ten Business Days after the same
shall have become due; or
(b) Lessee shall fail to make any payment of any other Supplemental
Rent (other than payments of Stipulated Loss Value and Termination Value)
within ten Business Days after Lessee has received written demand therefor
from the person entitled to receive such payment; provided that if such
--------
payment is an Excepted Payment such failure shall not constitute an Event
of Default until the Owner Participant shall so declare it by notice in
writing to Lessee; or
(c) any representation, warranty, certification or statement made by
Lessee hereunder or under the Participation Agreement or any other
Operative Document or made pursuant
- 49 -
<PAGE>
hereto or thereto (other than Lessee's representations made under the
Indemnity Agreement) shall prove to have been inaccurate in any material
respect when made; provided that if the representation, warranty,
--------
certification or statement was originally given by Lessee in good faith, an
Event of Default shall not be deemed to exist unless the inaccurate
representation, warranty, certification or statement remains material to
Lessor at the time discovered and remains uncured for a period of 30 days
after receipt by Lessee of a written notice from Lessor advising Lessee of
such inaccuracy; or
(d) Lessee shall fail to carry and maintain (or cause to be carried
and maintained) insurance on or in respect of the Aircraft in accordance
with the provisions of Section 11, provided that failure to maintain such
--------
insurance for up to 30 days shall not constitute an Event of Default if,
during such period, the Aircraft is not operated and appropriate insurance
for the Aircraft on the ground is maintained; or
(e) Lessee shall fail in any material respect to perform or observe
any other covenant, condition or agreement to be performed or observed by
it hereunder or under the Participation Agreement or any other Operative
Document and, in each case, such failure shall continue unremedied for a
period of 30 days after Lessee shall have received written notice of such
failure; provided that no such failure shall constitute an Event of Default
--------
so long as (i) such failure is capable of being remedied, (ii) Lessee is
diligently proceeding to remedy such failure and (iii) such failure does
not result in a material risk of loss, sale or forfeiture of the Aircraft,
or incur the risk of criminal charges, but in no event shall such failure
continue unremedied for more than (i) 180 days after receipt of such
written notice or (ii) the end of the Term, whichever is the first to
occur; or
(f) Lessee shall consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee or
liquidator of itself or of a material part of its property, or Lessee shall
admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they come due,
or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or Lessee
shall file or the Board of Directors of Lessee shall authorize Lessee to
file, or grant one or more persons authority (at their discretion) to file,
a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or a voluntary petition or an answer
seeking reorganization in a case under any bankruptcy laws or other
insolvency laws (as in effect at such time) or an answer admitting the
material allegations of a petition filed against Lessee in any such case,
or Lessee shall or the Board of Directors of Lessee shall authorize Lessee
to, or grant one or more persons authority (at their discretion) to, seek
relief by voluntary petition, answer or consent, under the provisions of
any other bankruptcy or other similar law providing for the reorganization
or winding-up of corporations (as in effect at
- 50 -
<PAGE>
such time) or providing for agreement, composition, extension or adjustment
with creditors; or
(g) an order, judgment or decree shall be entered by any court of
competent jurisdiction appointing, without the consent of Lessee, a
receiver, trustee or liquidator of Lessee or of any substantial part of its
property, or any substantial part of the property of Lessee shall be
sequestered, or granting any other relief in respect of Lessee under any
bankruptcy laws or other insolvency laws (as in effect at such time), and
any such order, judgment or decree of appointment or sequestration shall
remain in force undismissed, unstayed or unvacated for a period of 60 days
after the date of entry thereof; or
(h) a petition against Lessee in a case under any bankruptcy laws or
other insolvency laws (as in effect at such time) shall be filed and shall
not be withdrawn or dismissed within 60 days thereafter, or if, under the
provisions of any law providing for reorganization or winding-up of
corporations which may apply to Lessee, any court of competent jurisdiction
shall assume jurisdiction, custody or control of Lessee or of any
substantial part of its property and such jurisdiction, custody or control
shall remain in force unrelinquished, unstayed or unterminated for a period
of 60 days; or
(i) the Lien of the Indenture shall cease, at any time prior to the
discharge of the Lien of the Indenture, to be a valid first priority
perfected Lien on the Indenture Estate in any jurisdiction (other than the
United States) in which Lessee has reregistered the Aircraft pursuant to
Section 19 of the Participation Agreement; provided that no such failure
shall constitute an Event of Default so long as (i) the Aircraft is
accessible to Lessee, (ii) Lessee is diligently proceeding to transfer the
Aircraft to the United States and (iii) the Aircraft is reregistered in the
United States within a period of thirty days after a Responsible Officer of
Lessee has received actual knowledge of such failure.
SECTION 15. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and
--------
at any time thereafter so long as the same shall be continuing, Lessor may
(unless, prior to the acceleration of any outstanding Certificates, Lessee shall
have remedied all outstanding Events of Default) do, and Lessee shall comply
with, one or more of the following with respect to all or any part of the
Airframe and the Engines, as Lessor in its sole discretion shall elect, subject
always to any mandatory requirements of law; provided that during any period
--------
that the Airframe or any Engine is subject to CRAF in accordance with the
provisions of Section 7(b)(C) Lessor shall not, on account of any Event of
Default, exercise its remedies hereunder in such manner as to limit Lessee's
control under this Lease (or the control under any sublease of any Permitted
Sublessee) of the Airframe or such Engine, unless at least thirty (30) days' (or
such other longer or shorter period as
- 51 -
<PAGE>
may be applicable under CRAF) written notice of default hereunder shall have
been given by Lessor by registered or certified air mail to Lessee (and any
Permitted Sublessee) with a copy to the Contracting Officer Representative for
the Military Airlift Command of the United States Air Force or any successor to
whom notices must be given under the contract governing Lessee's participation
(or that of any Permitted Sublessee) in CRAF:
(a) demand in writing that Lessee shall, and upon such written demand
Lessee shall, at Lessee's expense, return promptly to Lessor all or such
part of the Airframe or the Engines as Lessor may demand in accordance with
all of the provisions of Section 5 as if the Airframe or such Engines were
being returned at the end of the Term; or Lessor, at its option, may enter
upon the premises where the Airframe or any Engine or Engines are located
or believed to be located and take immediate possession of and remove the
Airframe or Engines without the necessity for first instituting
proceedings, or by summary proceedings or otherwise, and Lessee shall
comply therewith, all without liability to Lessor for or by reason of such
entry or taking possession, whether for the restoration of damage to
property caused by such taking or otherwise; or
(b) with or without taking possession thereof, sell or otherwise
dispose of the Aircraft or any part thereof (including any Engine), at
public or private sale and with or without notice to Lessee or
advertisement, as Lessor may determine, and Lessor may hold Lessee liable
for any installment of Basic Rent due on (if payable in arrears but not if
payable in advance) or before the date of such sale, including any accrued
but unpaid Basic Rent on a pro-rata basis from the preceding Payment Date
to the date of such sale, or hold, use, operate, lease to others or keep
idle all or any part of the Airframe or any Engine as Lessor, in its sole
discretion, may determine, in any such case free and clear of any rights of
Lessee except as set forth below in this Section 15 and without any duty to
account to Lessee with respect to such action or inaction or for any
proceeds with respect thereto (except to the extent required by paragraph
(d) below if Lessor elects to exercise its rights under said paragraph in
lieu of its rights under paragraph (c) below); or
(c) whether or not Lessor shall have exercised, or shall thereafter
at any time exercise, any of its rights under paragraph (a) or (b) above
with respect to the Aircraft, Lessor by written notice to Lessee specifying
a payment date not earlier than 10 days from the date of such notice, may
terminate this Lease with respect to the Aircraft and demand that Lessee
pay to Lessor, and Lessee shall pay to Lessor on the payment date specified
in such notice, as liquidated damages for loss of a bargain and not as a
penalty, any installment of Basic Rent with respect to the Aircraft due on
(if payable in arrears but not if payable in advance) or
- 52 -
<PAGE>
before such payment date plus an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i)
the Stipulated Loss Value for the Aircraft computed as of the date
specified in Exhibit A coinciding with or next preceding the payment date
specified pursuant to this paragraph (c), over (ii) the Fair Market Value
for the Aircraft, computed as of the payment date specified pursuant to
this paragraph (c) (and calculated assuming that the Aircraft will be in
storage for a period of twelve months unless Lessor has arranged for a sale
or a new lease of the Aircraft scheduled to be completed or to commence
within such twelve month period, in which case such sale or new lease shall
be taken into account in determining such Fair Market Value), together with
interest, to the extent permitted by applicable law, at the Past Due Rate
on the amount of such Stipulated Loss Value, from the date as of which such
Stipulated Loss Value is computed to the date of actual payment of such
amount; or
(d) if Lessor, pursuant to paragraph (b) above, shall have sold the
Aircraft, Lessor in lieu of exercising its rights under paragraph (c) above
with respect to the Aircraft, may demand that Lessee pay Lessor, and Lessee
shall pay to Lessor on the date of such sale, as liquidated damages for
loss of a bargain and not as a penalty, in lieu of the Basic Rent for the
Aircraft due after the date on which such sale occurs and in addition to
any installment of Basic Rent for the Aircraft due up to and including (if
payable in arrears but not if payable in advance) the date on which such
sale occurs, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the Stipulated
Loss Value for the Aircraft computed as of the date specified in Exhibit A
coinciding with or next preceding the date of such sale, over (ii) the net
proceeds of such sale (after deduction of all expenses of such sale,
including any sales or transfer taxes; provided, however, that Lessor shall
-------- -------
use reasonable efforts to minimize any such taxes with respect to such sale
consistent with Lessor's right to maximize the proceeds of such sale),
together with interest, to the extent permitted by applicable law, at the
Past Due Rate on the amount of such Stipulated Loss Value from the date as
of which such Stipulated Loss Value is computed to the date of actual
payment; or
(e) so long as the Aircraft has not been sold pursuant to paragraph
(b) above, by notice to Lessee, require Lessee to pay on demand to Lessor,
and Lessee shall pay to Lessor, as liquidated damages for loss of a bargain
and not as a penalty (in lieu of Basic Rent for the Aircraft for any period
commencing on (if payable in advance) or after the date of such notice) any
unpaid Basic Rent for the Aircraft for any period prior to and including
(if payable in arrears but not if payable in advance) the date of such
notice, plus an amount equal to Stipulated Loss Value for the Aircraft
computed as of the date specified in Exhibit A coinciding with or next
preceding the date of such notice, together with interest, to
- 53 -
<PAGE>
the extent permitted by applicable law, at the Past Due Rate on the amount
of such Stipulated Loss Value, from the date as of which such Stipulated
Loss Value is computed to the actual payment of such amount; and upon
Lessee's payment of liquidated damages and the payment of all other Rent
then due hereunder, Lessor shall, if requested by the Owner Participant,
return the Aircraft to Lessee, and otherwise shall exercise reasonable
efforts promptly to sell the Airframe and each Engine and shall pay over to
Lessee the net proceeds of such sale (after deducting from such proceeds,
all costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in connection therewith,
including any sales or transfer taxes; provided, however, that Lessor shall
-------- -------
use reasonable efforts to minimize any such taxes with respect to such sale
and all other amounts which may become payable to Lessor or the Owner
Participant consistent with Lessor's right to maximize the proceeds of such
sale) up to the amount of Stipulated Loss Value actually paid; or
(f) terminate this Lease as to the Airframe or any Engine; or
(g) exercise any other right or remedy which may be available under
applicable law or proceed by appropriate court action to enforce the terms
hereof or to recover damages for the breach hereof.
In addition, Lessee shall be liable for any and all Supplemental Rent due
hereunder and all amounts payable by Lessee under the Participation Agreement
before or after any termination hereof, including all costs and expenses
(including, to the extent permitted by applicable law, reasonable attorneys'
fees and disbursements) incurred as a result of the occurrence of any Event of
Default and the exercise of Lessor's remedies with respect thereto, including
all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the return of the Airframe or
any Engine in accordance with the terms of Section 5. Except as otherwise
expressly provided above, no remedy referred to in this Section 15 is intended
to be exclusive, but each shall be cumulative and in addition to any other
remedy referred to above or otherwise available to Lessor at law or in equity.
The exercise or beginning of exercise by Lessor of any one or more of such
remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Lessor of any
other remedies. No express or implied waiver by Lessor of any Event of Default
hereunder shall constitute a waiver of any future or subsequent Event of
Default. Lessor's access to the Aircraft is of the essence of the remedies
hereunder and shall not be impaired.
SECTION 16. Lessor's Right to Perform for Lessee. If Lessee fails to
------------------------------------
make any payment of Rent or fails to perform or comply with any of its
agreements herein, Lessor or the Owner Participant may, but is under no duty to,
make such payments or perform or comply with such agreement. The amount of such
payment and the amount of the reasonable expenses of Lessor or the Owner
Participant, as the case may be, incurred in connection with such
- 54 -
<PAGE>
payment or the performance of or compliance with such agreement, as the case may
be, together with interest thereon at the Past Due Rate (to the extent permitted
by applicable law), from the date of the making of such payment or the incurring
of such expenses to the date of payment of such Rent by Lessee, shall be deemed
Rent payable by Lessee upon demand. No such payment or performance by Lessor or
the Owner Participant shall be deemed to waive any Default or Event of Default
or relieve Lessee of its obligations hereunder.
SECTION 17. Covenant of Quiet Enjoyment. So long as no Event of
---------------------------
Default shall have occurred and be continuing and notwithstanding any default by
Lessor, the Owner Participant or the Indenture Trustee under the Participation
Agreement, the Trust Agreement or the Indenture, Lessee shall have the right to
the quiet enjoyment of, and the continued possession, use and operation of, the
Aircraft during the Term, and this Lease shall not be terminated except as
expressly provided herein. The foregoing does not modify in any respect Lessee's
obligations pursuant to Section 20, which obligations are absolute and
unconditional.
SECTION 18. Further Assurances. Lessee will cause this Lease, the
------------------
Trust Agreement and the Indenture to be duly filed and recorded, in each case in
accordance with the Act. In addition, Lessee will promptly and duly execute and
deliver to Lessor and to such other persons as Lessor shall reasonably designate
such further documents and assurances and take such further action as Lessor may
from time to time reasonably request in order to carry out more effectively the
intent and purpose of this Lease and to establish and protect the rights and
remedies created or intended to be created in favor of Lessor hereunder, and in
favor of the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture including, without
limitation, if requested by Lessor, the execution and delivery of supplements or
amendments hereto, in recordable form, subjecting to this Lease any replacement
airframe or engine and the recording or filing of counterparts hereof or
thereof, or of financing and continuation statements with respect hereto, in
accordance with the laws of such jurisdictions as Lessor may from time to time
deem advisable. The foregoing sentence does not impose upon Lessor any
additional liabilities not otherwise contemplated by this Lease.
SECTION 19. Notices. All notices required hereunder shall be in
-------
writing and delivered personally or mailed by first class registered or
certified mail, postage prepaid, or, if promptly confirmed by mail as provided
above, dispatched by telecopy, telegram, telex or other written
telecommunication, addressed (a) if to Lessee, at Hartsfield Atlanta
International Airport, Atlanta, Georgia 30320, Attention: Chief Financial
Officer, with a copy to the General Counsel at the same address, or, in each
case, at such other address as Lessee may from time to time designate by notice
to Lessor, (b) if to Lessor, at the address set forth on Annex II of the
Participation Agreement, or at such other address as Lessor may from time to
time designate by notice to Lessee, with copies to (i) the Indenture Trustee at
the
- 55 -
<PAGE>
address referred to in clause (d) below and (ii) the Owner Partici-pant, at the
address referred to in clause (c) below, (c) if to the Owner Participant, at
such address as is set forth on Annex II to the Participation Agreement, or at
such other address as the Owner Participant may from time to time designate by
notice to Lessee and Lessor, or (d) if to the Indenture Trustee, at the address
set forth on Annex II of the Participation Agreement, or at such other address
as the Indenture Trustee may from time to time designate by notice to Lessee and
Lessor. All notices delivered, mailed or dispatched pursuant to this Section 19
shall become effective when received. In the case of a telex, an answerback and,
in the case of mail, a return receipt, will be conclusive evidence of receipt.
SECTION 20. No Set-Off, Counterclaim, etc. This Lease is a net lease,
------------------------------
and Lessee's obligations to pay all Rent (including, but not limited to, amounts
payable as Supplemental Rent) payable hereunder and all amounts payable by
Lessee under the Participation Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional and
shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without
limitation, (a) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right
which Lessee may have against Lessor, the Owner Participant, the Indenture
Trustee, any Holder, the Manufacturer or anyone else for any reason (whether in
connection with this transaction or any other transaction), (b) any defect in
the title, airworthiness, eligibility for registration under the Act (and the
regulations thereunder) or under any of the laws or regulations of any other
country of registry of the Aircraft, condition, design, operation, or fitness
for use of, suitability for a particular purpose of, or any damage to or loss or
destruction of, the Aircraft, or any interruption or cessation in the use or
possession thereof by Lessee for any reason, including, without limitation, by
reason of governmental action, (c) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or
similar proceedings by or against Lessee, Lessor, the Owner Participant, the
Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or any other person, or (d) any other
circumstances, whether or not unforeseen or similar to any of the foregoing.
Lessee hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any and all
rights which it may now have or which at any time hereafter may be conferred
upon it, by statute or otherwise, to terminate, cancel, quit or surrender this
Lease except in accordance with the express terms hereof. If for any reason this
Lease shall be terminated in whole or in part by operation of law or otherwise
except as specifically provided herein, Lessee nonetheless shall pay to the
party entitled to such payment pursuant to the provisions hereof an amount equal
to each Rent payment at the time such payment would have become due and payable
in accordance with the terms hereof had this Lease not been so terminated.
SECTION 21. Successor Trustees and Rights of Trustees as Lessor. If
---------------------------------------------------
any successor trustee is appointed pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement,
such successor trustee shall, upon written notice by such successor trustee to
Lessee, succeed to all the rights, powers and title of Lessor hereunder and
shall be Lessor and the owner of the Aircraft for all purposes hereof,
- 56 -
<PAGE>
without the necessity of any consent or approval by Lessee and without in any
way altering the terms of this Lease or Lessee's obligations hereunder.
SECTION 22. Miscellaneous. Any provision of this Lease which is
-------------
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or enforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof. Any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not render such provision
unenforceable or invalid in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by
applicable law, Lessee hereby waives any provision of law which renders any
provision hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect. No term or
provision of this Lease may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally,
but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which the
enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought; provided,
--------
however, that so long as the Indenture remains in effect, no such change,
- -------
waiver, discharge or termination shall be made without the prior written consent
of the Indenture Trustee, except as expressly provided herein or in the
Indenture. This Lease constitutes an agreement of lease and does not convey to
Lessee any right, title or interest in the Aircraft except as a lessee. The
captions in this Lease are for convenience of reference only and shall not
define or limit any of the terms or provisions hereof. THIS LEASE IS BEING
DELIVERED IN NEW YORK AND SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF
CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE BUT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO PRINCIPLES
OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS.
Wilmington Trust Company (the "Bank") is entering into this Lease
solely as Owner Trustee under the Trust Agreement and not in its individual
capacity, and the Bank shall not be personally liable for, or for any loss in
respect of, any of the statements, representations, warranties, agreements or
obligations of the Owner Trustee hereunder, as to all of which Lessee may
proceed only against the Trust Estate; provided, however, that the Bank shall be
-------- -------
liable hereunder for its own negligence or negligent or willful misconduct or
for a breach of its representations and warranties made in its individual
capacity in Section 4 hereof or as otherwise provided in the Participation
Agreement. The Bank accepts the benefits of the indemnification granted, and
representations and warranties made, to it hereunder.
SECTION 23. Trust Estate as Security for Lessor's Obligations to
----------------------------------------------------
Holders. In order to secure the indebtedness evidenced by the Certificates,
- -------
Lessor provides in the Indenture, among other things, for the assignment by
Lessor to the Indenture Trustee of this Lease Agreement and the Lease Supplement
and for the creation of a first mortgage and security interest in favor of the
Indenture Trustee on the Airframe and the Engines. Lessee acknowledges the
existence of, and consents to, such assignment and the receipt of a copy of the
Indenture. Lessee also acknowledges that, so long as
- 57 -
<PAGE>
any Certificates are outstanding, all rights of Lessor under this Lessee shall
be exercised only by the Indenture Trustee, as assignee of Lessor's rights under
this Lease pursuant to the Indenture, subject, however, to Section 8.01 of the
Indenture. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease or the
Participation Agreement to the contrary, Stipulated Loss Value and Termination
Value shall not be adjusted to be below the amounts required to pay in full, as
of the date of payment thereof, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the
Certificates outstanding on such date of payment, together with the accrued and
unpaid interest thereon.
SECTION 24. Investment of Security Funds. Any amounts not payable to
----------------------------
Lessee or any Permitted Sublessee as the case may be (which amounts shall be
paid to or retained by Lessor (or, so long as the Indenture shall be in effect,
the Indenture Trustee)), (a) pursuant to any provision of Section 10 or 11 or
this Section 24 solely because an Event of Default or a Payment or Bankruptcy
Default shall have occurred and be continuing or because Lessee shall not have
performed in full its obligations under Section 10 or (b) pursuant to the second
to the last sentence of Section 4 solely because an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, shall, in each case, be held by Lessor (or, so long
as the Indenture shall be in effect, the Indenture Trustee) as security for the
obligations of Lessee under this Lease and the other Operative Documents. At
such time as no Event of Default, Payment or Bankruptcy Default or failure to
perform shall be continuing, such amounts, net of any amounts previously applied
to Lessee's obligations hereunder or under the Participation Agreement, shall be
paid to Lessee or such sublessee or transferee, as the case may be. Any such
amounts which are held by Lessor (or, so long as the Indenture shall be in
effect, the Indenture Trustee) pending payment to Lessee or such sublessee or
transferee, as the case may be, shall, until paid to Lessee or such sublessee or
transferee, as the case may be, as provided hereunder or, as long as the
Indenture is in effect, until applied against Lessee's obligations herein and
under the Participation Agreement and distributed as provided in the Indenture
or (after the Indenture is no longer in effect) in connection with any exercise
of remedies hereunder, be invested by Lessor as directed from time to time in
writing by Lessee and at the expense and risk of Lessee, in the following
securities (which securities shall mature within 30 days of the date of purchase
thereof):
(a) direct obligations of the United States of America, or
(b) obligations fully guaranteed by the United States of America, or
(c) certificates of deposit issued by, or bankers' acceptances of, or
time deposits or a deposit account with, any bank, trust company or
national banking association incorporated or doing business under the laws
of the United

States of America or one of the states thereof (which may include
Wilmington Trust Company, the Indenture Trustee or any of their respective
Affiliates), having a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000
and a rating of "B" or better from Thomson BankWatch or IBCA Ltd., or
(d) commercial paper issued by companies (which may include
Wilmington Trust Company, the Indenture Trustee or any of their respective
Affiliates) in the United States which directly issue their own commercial
paper and which are doing business under the laws of the United States of
America or one of the states thereof and having a rating assigned to such
commercial paper by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization
in the United States of America equal to the highest rating assigned by
such organization, or
(e) obligations of the type described in clauses (a) through (d)
above, purchased from any bank, trust company or banking association
referred to in clause (c) above (which may include the Bank, the Indenture
Trustee or any of their respective Affiliates) pursuant to fully
collateralized repurchase agreements obligating such bank, trust company or
banking association to repurchase any such obligation not later than 90
days after the purchase of any such obligation, or
(f) overnight federal funds.
Any gain (including interest received) realized as the result of any such
investment (net of any fees, taxes, commissions and other expenses, if any,
incurred in connection with such investment) shall be applied in the same manner
as the principal invested. Lessee will promptly pay to Lessor (or, so long as
the Indenture shall be in effect, the Indenture Trustee), on demand, the amount
of any loss realized as the result of any such investment (together with any
fees, taxes, commissions and other expenses, if any, incurred in connection with
such investment).
SECTION 25. Separate Counterparts. This Lease 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 instrument. To the extent that this Lease

Code as in effect in any applicable jurisdiction, no security interest in this
Lease may be perfected through the transfer or possession of any counterpart
other than the counterpart marked as the "Original" and containing the receipt
therefor executed by the Indenture Trustee on the signature page thereof.
