funds then available to the Trustee, there shall be distributed on the
applicable Special Distribution Date, to the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered at the close of business on the 15th day preceding
the Special Distribution Date, an amount in respect of such Special Payments on
the Pass Through Equipment Notes, the receipt of which has been confirmed by
the Trustee, equal to the product of the percentage interest in the Trust
evidenced by this Certificate and an amount equal to the sum of such Special
Payments so received. If a Regular Distribution Date is not a Business Day,
distribution shall be made on the immediately following Business Day with the
same force and effect as if made on such Regular Distribution Date and no
interest shall accrue during the intervening period. The Special Distribution
Date shall be the Business Day as provided in the Trust Supplement. The
Trustee shall mail notice of each Special Payment and the Special Distribution
Date therefor to the Certificateholder of this Certificate.
Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Trustee
by check mailed to the Person entitled thereto, without the presentation or
surrender of this Certificate or the making of any notation hereon. Except as
otherwise provided in the Agreement and notwithstanding the above, the final
distribution on this Certificate will be made after notice mailed by the
Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and
surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency of the Trustee specified
in such notice.

transferred to any employee benefit plan subject to Title I of the Employee
Retirement Income Security 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 (each an "ERISA Plan") or by any
other entity whose assets constitute assets of an ERISA Plan unless one of the
Underwriter Exemptions (as defined below) applies to such purchase. The
purchase by any person of any Pass Through Certificate constitutes a
representation by such person to the Company, the Owner Participant, the Owner
Trustees, the Loan Trustees and the Trustee that either (i) such person is not
an ERISA Plan and that such person is not acquiring, and has not acquired, such
Pass Through Certificate with assets of an ERISA Plan

Reverse of Certificate
The Certificates do not represent a direct obligation of, or
an obligation guaranteed by, or an interest in, the Company or the Trustee or
any affiliate thereof. The Certificates are limited in right of payment, all
as more specifically set forth on the face hereof and in the Agreement. All
payments or distributions made to Certificateholders under the Agreement shall
be made only from the Trust Property and only to the extent that the Trustee
shall have sufficient income or proceeds from the Trust Property to make such
payments in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Each Certificateholder
of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will look solely
to the income and proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent available for
distribution to such Certificateholder as provided in the Agreement. This
Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made
to the Agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights,
benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby. A copy of the
Agreement may be examined during normal business hours at the principal office
of the Trustee, and at such other places, if any, designated by the Trustee, by
any Certificateholder upon request.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Company and the rights of the Certificateholders under the
Agreement at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the
Certificateholders holding Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided
Interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest in the Trust. Any
such consent by the Certificateholder of this Certificate shall be conclusive
and binding on such Certificateholder and upon all future Certificateholders of
this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof,
in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Certificateholders
of any of the Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable
in the Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer
at the offices or agencies maintained by the Trustee in its capacity as
17
Registrar, or by any successor Registrar, in the Borough of Manhattan, the City
of New York, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Registrar duly executed by the
Certificateholder hereof or such Certificateholder's attorney duly authorized
in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest in
the Trust will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates
without coupons in minimum denominations of $1,000 Fractional Undivided
Interest and integral multiples thereof. As provided in the Agreement and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are
exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the
same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest in the Trust, as requested by the
Certificateholder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange, but the Trustee shall require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Trustee, the Registrar, and any agent of the Trustee or
the Registrar may treat the person in whose name this Certificate is registered
as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Registrar,
nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
The obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement
and the Trust created thereby shall terminate upon the distribution to
Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant
to the Agreement and the disposition of all property held as part of the Trust
Property.

exchange of Equipment Notes.
The Registrar shall not be required (i) to register the
transfer of or to exchange any Equipment Note during a period beginning at the

amended (each an "ERISA Plan") or by any other entity whose assets constitute
assets of an ERISA Plan unless one of the Underwriter Exemptions (as defined
below) applies to such purchase. The purchase by a Person of any Equipment Note
constitutes a representation by such Person to the Company, the Owner
Participant, the Owner Trustee and the Loan Trustee that either (i) such Person
is not an ERISA Plan and that such Person is not acquiring, and has not
acquired, such Equipment Note with assets of an ERISA Plan or (ii) one of the

Section 2.05. Loan Participant Lists; Ownership of Equipment Notes.
(a) The Loan Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably
practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of

form and as of such date as the Loan Trustee may reasonably require, containing

thereof, a new Equipment Note of the same type, having the same Maturity Date,
payable to the same Loan Participant in the same principal amount and dated the
same date as the Equipment Note so mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen. If the
Equipment Note being replaced has become mutilated, such Equipment Note shall be
surrendered to the Loan Trustee. If the Equipment Note being replaced has been
destroyed, lost or stolen, the related Loan Participant shall furnish to the
Owner Trustee and the Loan Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required
by each of them to save the Owner Trustee and the Loan Trustee harmless (it
being understood
27
(Series AA)
34
that an unsecured undertaking to indemnify each such party delivered in writing
and in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Loan Trustee
by the Initial Bank Lender shall satisfy such requirement) and evidence
satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Loan Trustee of the destruction, loss
or theft of such Equipment Note and of the ownership thereof.
Section 2.07. Cancellation. The Registrar and any Paying Agent shall

wire transfer of immediately available funds if not otherwise specified) as
specified in Schedule I to the Refunding Agreement or as each Bank Lender shall
have otherwise designated in writing to the Loan Trustee on or prior to such
Record Date; provided, however, that, in the case of Pass Through Equipment
Notes, the Paying Agent will, at the request of the Loan Trustee, and may, at
its option, pay such interest or Installment Payment Amounts by check mailed to
such Loan Participant's address as it appears on the Register. The Paying Agent
shall cause each payment to the Bank Lenders to be made by 4:00 pm on the day
the Paying Agent receives such payment, provided such payment is received in
immediately available funds by the Paying Agent by 1:00 pm on such day. In the

immediately foregoing sentence after its receipt of funds at the place and time
specified, Paying Agent, in is individual capacity

and interest on all Equipment Notes held by such Loan Participant and all other
sums due and payable to such Loan Participant hereunder, under such Equipment
Notes, under the Participation Agreement and under the Refunding Agreement shall
have been paid in full.
(b) Any Installment Payment Amount payable on an Installment
Payment Date, or any interest payable on an Interest Payment Date on any
Equipment Note which is not punctually paid on, or within 5 days after, such
Installment Payment Date or such Interest Payment Date, as the case may be
(herein called, respectively, a "Defaulted Installment" and "Defaulted
Interest"), shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Loan Participant on the
relevant Record Date by virtue of its having been such Loan Participant; and
such Defaulted Installment or Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Loan
Trustee, at its election in each case, as provided, in the case of the Pass
Through Equipment Notes, in clause (1) or (2) below and, in the case of Bank
Equipment Notes, in clause (3) below:
(1) The Loan Trustee may elect to make payment of any

Persons entitled to such Defaulted Installment or Defaulted Interest as
this clause provides and shall fix a special record date for the
payment of such Defaulted Installment or Defaulted Interest which shall

Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor to be mailed,
first class postage prepaid, to each Loan Participant entitled thereto
at such Loan Participant's address as it appears in the Register, not

proposed payment of such Defaulted Installment or Defaulted Interest
and the special record date therefor having been mailed, as aforesaid,
such Defaulted Installment or Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the
Persons in whose names the applicable Equipment Notes are registered on
such special record date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the
following clause (2).
(2) The Loan Trustee may make, or cause to be made, payment
of any Defaulted Installment or Defaulted Interest in any other lawful

or any other amount payable to the Loan Participants hereunder or under any
other Operative Document, and shall give to the Loan Trustee notice of any
default by any obligor upon the Equipment Notes in the making of any such
payment upon the Equipment Notes. The Loan Trustee at any time may require a
Paying Agent to repay to the Loan Trustee all money held by it. Upon so doing
the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money so paid.

liability thereunder or hereunder.

shall be held by the Loan Trustee as collateral security for the
obligations secured hereby until such time as no Indenture Event of Default
shall be continuing hereunder or the Equipment Notes have been accelerated
and all amounts due thereon (other than any Swap Breakage Loss) have been
paid, at which time so much of such payments or amounts remaining as shall
be required to pay an amount which, when aggregated with any prior
distributions pursuant to this clause " sixth", shall be equal to the sum

Lease Event of Default) shall be applied to the payment of such Swap
Breakage Loss, if any; and in case the aggregate amount remaining shall be
insufficient to pay all such amounts in full, such amount shall be
distributed ratably without priority of any Bank Lender over any other Bank
Lender, in the proportion that the aggregate amount due to each such Bank
Lender bears to the aggregate amount due all such Bank Lenders under this
clause "seventh"; and
eighth, so much of such payments or amounts remaining thereafter

accordance with the provisions of the Trust Agreement, so long as no
Indenture Event of Default exists other than by virtue of such Lease Event
of Default.

with respect to it or with respect to any substantial part of its property,
or constituting an order for relief or approving a petition for relief or
reorganization or any other petition in bankruptcy or for liquidation or to
take advantage of any bankruptcy or insolvency law of any jurisdiction, or
ordering the dissolution, winding-up or liquidation of the Trust Estate or
the Owner Trustee with respect thereto (and not in its individual
capacity), the Owner Participant, or the Owner Participant Guarantor, as
the case may be, and any such order or petition is not dismissed or stayed
within 90 days after the earlier of the entering of any such order or the
approval of any such petition; or
(i) any Lessor's Lien required to be discharged by the Owner
Participant or the Owner Trustee, in its individual capacity, pursuant to
Section 16(b) of the Participation Agreement (in the case of the Owner
Participant) or Section 9(c) of the Participation Agreement or Section
4.01(b) hereof (in the case of the Owner Trustee) shall remain undischarged
for a period of 30 days after an officer in the Corporate Trust Department
who has responsibility for, or familiarity with, the transactions
contemplated by the Operative Documents or any Vice President in the
Corporate Trust Department (with respect to a Lessor's Lien attributable to
the Owner Trustee) or an officer of the Owner Participant who has
responsibility for, or familiarity with, the transactions contemplated by
the Operative Documents or any Vice President of the Owner Participant
(with respect to a Lessor's Lien attributable to the Owner Participant)
shall have actual knowledge of such Lien; or
(j) at any time when the Aircraft is registered under the laws of
a country other than the United States of America, as a result of the gross
negligence or wilful misconduct of the Owner Trustee or the Owner
Participant, the Lien of this Agreement shall cease to constitute a valid
and duly perfected Lien on the In-
52
(Series AA)
59
denture Estate (other than pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of
Section 10.01); or
(k) any Owner Participant Guaranty ceases to be a valid and
enforceable obligation of the Owner Participant Guarantor or otherwise
shall not be in full force and effect.
Section 8.02. Acceleration; Rescission and Annulment. If an Indenture
Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Loan Trustee, by notice to the
Company, the Owner Participant and the Owner Trustee, or Loan Participants
owning at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Equipment Notes
by notice to the Company, the Loan Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Owner
Participant, may declare the principal of all the Equipment Notes to be due and
payable. Upon such declaration, the principal of all Equipment Notes, together
with accrued interest thereon from the date in respect of which interest was
last paid hereunder to the date payment of such principal has been made or duly
provided for shall be immediately due and payable, together with Swap Breakage
Loss, if any, on the Bank Equipment Notes. At any time after such declaration
and prior to the sale or disposition of the Indenture Estate, Loan Participants
owning a majority in aggregate principal amount of all of the Outstanding
Equipment Notes, by notice to the Loan Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Owner
Participant, may rescind such a declaration and thereby annul its consequences
if (i) an amount sufficient to pay all principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any,
and Swap Breakage Loss, if any, and interest on, such Equipment Notes, to the
extent each such amount is due or past due, if any, in respect of the
Outstanding Equipment Notes other than by reason of such acceleration and all
sums due and payable to the Loan Trustee has been deposited with the Loan
Trustee, (ii) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and
(iii) all existing Indenture Defaults and Indenture Events of Default under this
Agreement have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal of, Swap
Breakage Loss, if any, or interest on the Equipment Notes that has become due
solely because of such acceleration. No Make-Whole Amount shall be payable on
the Pass Through Equipment Notes as a result of the acceleration of the
Equipment Notes.
Section 8.03. Other Remedies Available to Loan Trustee. (a) After an
Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred and so long as such Indenture
Event of Default shall be continuing, then and in every such case the Loan
53
(Series AA)
60
Trustee, as trustee of an express trust and as assignee hereunder of the Lease
or as holder of a security interest in the Aircraft, Airframe or Engines or
otherwise, may, and when required pursuant to the provisions of Article 9 shall,
exercise subject to Sections 8.03(b), 8.03(e), 8.03(f) and 8.03(h), upon ten
(10) Business days' prior notice to the Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant
(if not precluded by law or otherwise) any or all of the rights and powers and
pursue any and all of the remedies accorded to the Owner Trustee pursuant to
this Article 8 (and in the event that such Indenture Event of Default is also a
Lease Event of Default, pursuant to Section 15 of the Lease), may recover
judgment in its own name as Loan Trustee against the Indenture Estate and may
take possession of all or any part of the Indenture Estate and may exclude the
Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant and all persons claiming under any of
them wholly or partly.
(b) After an Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred and so
long as such Indenture Event of Default shall be continuing, subject to Sections
8.03(e), 8.03(f) and 8.03(h), the Loan Trustee may, if at the time such action
may be lawful and always subject to compliance with any mandatory legal
requirements, either with or without taking possession, and either before or
after taking possession, and without instituting any legal proceedings
whatsoever, and having first given notice of such sale by registered mail to the
Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant and the Company once at least 10 Business
Days prior to the date of such sale, and any other notice which may be required
by law, sell and dispose of the Indenture Estate, or any part thereof, or
interest therein, at public auction to the highest bidder, in one lot as an
entirety or in separate lots, and either for cash or on credit and on such terms
as the Loan Trustee may determine, and at any place (whether or not it be the
location of the Indenture Estate or any part thereof) and time designated in the
notice above referred to; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any provision
herein to the contrary, the Loan Trustee may not provide the notice provided for
above of its intention to sell any of the Indenture Estate, exercise remedies
under the Lease or exercise other remedies against the Indenture Estate, in each
case seeking to deprive the Owner Participant of its interest therein unless a
declaration of acceleration has been made pursuant to Section 8.02. Any such
sale or sales may be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and
place appointed for such sale or sales, or by announcement at the time and place
appointed for any such adjourned sale or sales, without further notice, and the
54
(Series AA)
61
Loan Trustee and any Loan Participant may bid and become the purchaser at any
such sale. The Loan Trustee may exercise such right without possession or
production of the Equipment Notes or proof of ownership thereof, and as
representative of the Loan Participants may exercise such right without notice
to the Loan Participants or including the Loan Participants as parties to any
suit or proceeding relating to foreclosure of any property in the Indenture
Estate. The Owner Trustee hereby irrevocably constitutes the Loan Trustee the
true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the Owner Trustee (in the name of the Owner
Trustee or otherwise) for the purpose of effectuating any sale, assignment,
transfer or delivery for enforcement of the Lien created under this Agreement,
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 Loan
Trustee may consider necessary or appropriate, with full power of substitution,
the Owner Trustee hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney or any
substitute shall lawfully do by virtue hereof. Nevertheless, if so requested by
the Loan Trustee or any purchaser, the Owner Trustee shall ratify and confirm
any such sale, assignment, transfer or delivery, by executing and delivering to
the Loan 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.
(c) Subject to Sections 8.03(b), 8.03(e), 8.03(f) and 8.03(h), if
an Indenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Owner Trustee
shall, at the request of the Loan Trustee, promptly execute and deliver to the
Loan Trustee such instruments of title or other documents as the Loan Trustee
may deem necessary or advisable to enable the Loan Trustee or an agent or
representative designated by the Loan Trustee, at such time or times and place
or places as the Loan Trustee may specify, to obtain possession of all or any
part of the Indenture Estate. If the Owner Trustee shall for any reason fail to
execute and deliver such instruments and documents after such request by the
Loan Trustee, the Loan Trustee shall be entitled to a judgment for specific
performance of the covenants contained in the foregoing sentence, conferring
upon the Loan Trustee the right to immediate possession and requiring the Owner
Trustee or the Company or both to execute and deliver such instruments and
documents to the Loan Trustee. The Loan Trustee shall also be entitled to
pursue all or any part of the Indenture Estate wherever it may be found and may
enter any of the premises of the Owner Trustee or any other Person wherever the
Indenture Estate may be or be supposed to be
55
(Series AA)
62
and search for the Indenture Estate and take possession of any item of the
Indenture Estate pursuant to this Section 8.03(c). The Loan 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 Loan Trustee shall have the right to use, operate, store, lease,
control or manage the Indenture Estate, and to exercise all rights and powers of
the Owner Trustee relating to the Indenture Estate as the Loan Trustee shall
deem appropriate, including the right to enter into any and all such agreements
with respect to the use, operation, storage, leasing, control or management of
the Indenture Estate or any part thereof; and the Loan Trustee shall be entitled
to collect and receive directly all tolls, rents (including Rent), issues,
profits, products, revenues and other income of the Indenture Estate and every
part thereof, without prejudice, however, to the right of the Loan Trustee under
any provision of this Agreement to collect and receive all cash held by, or
required to be deposited with, the Loan Trustee hereunder. In accordance with
the terms of this Section 8.03(c), such tolls, rents (including Rent), issues,
profits, products, revenues and other income shall be applied to pay the
expenses of using, operating, storing, leasing, controlling or managing the
Indenture Estate, and of all maintenance, insurance, repairs, replacements,
alterations, additions and improvements, and to make all payments which the Loan
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,
to the extent permitted by the Lease, the Company), and all other payments which
the Loan Trustee may be required or authorized to make under any provision of
this Agreement, including this Section 8.03(c), as well as just and reasonable
compensation for the services of the Loan Trustee, and of all persons properly
engaged and employed by the Loan Trustee.
If an Indenture Event of Default occurs and is continuing and the Loan
Trustee shall have obtained possession of or title to the Aircraft, the Loan
Trustee shall not be obligated to use or operate the Aircraft or cause the
Aircraft to be used or operated directly or indirectly by itself or through
agents or other representatives or to lease, license or otherwise permit or
provide for the use or operation of the Aircraft by any other Person unless (i)
the
56
(Series AA)
63
Loan Trustee shall have been able to obtain insurance in kinds, at rates and in
amounts satisfactory to it in its discretion to protect the Indenture Estate and
the Loan Trustee, as trustee and individually, against any and all liability for
loss or damage to the Aircraft and for public liability and property damage
resulting from use or operation of the Aircraft and (ii) funds are available in
the Indenture Estate to pay for all such insurance or, in lieu of such
insurance, the Loan Trustee is furnished with indemnification from the Loan
Participants or any other Person upon terms and in amounts satisfactory to the
Loan Trustee in its discretion to protect the Indenture Estate and the Loan
Trustee, as trustee and individually, against any and all such liabilities.
(d) Subject to Sections 8.03(b), 8.03(e), 8.03(f) and 8.03(h), the
Loan Trustee may proceed to protect and enforce this Agreement and the Equipment
Notes by suit or suits or proceedings in equity, at law or in bankruptcy, and
whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement herein
contained or in execution or aid of any power herein granted, or for foreclosure
hereunder, or for the appointment of a receiver or receivers for the Indenture
Estate or any part thereof, or for the recovery of judgment for the indebtedness
secured by the Lien created under this Agreement or for the enforcement of any
other proper, legal or equitable remedy available under applicable law.
(e) (i) If the Company shall fail to make any payment of Basic Rent
under the Lease when the same shall become due, and if such failure of the
Company 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
a Lease Event of Default) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Owner
Participant or the Owner Trustee may (but need not) pay to the Loan Trustee, at
any time prior to the day which is the thirtieth day subsequent to notice of
such failure by the Loan Trustee to the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant
(and the Loan Trustee shall not (without the prior written consent of the Owner
Trustee) 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 this
Article 8 prior to the occurrence of such date), 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 to the date of such payment (without
regard to any acceleration), and such payment by
57
(Series AA)
64
the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to cure as of the
date of such payment any Indenture Event of Default which arose from such
failure of the Company (including any Lease Event of Default arising from the
Company's failure to pay interest in respect of such overdue Basic Rent for the
period commencing on the date of such payment), but such cure shall not relieve
the Company of any of its obligations. If the Company shall fail to perform or
observe any covenant, condition or agreement to be performed or observed by it
under the Lease other than the payment of Basic Rent, 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 (other than those arising from a Lease Event of
Default) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Owner Participant or the
Owner Trustee may (but need not) pay to the Loan Trustee (or to such other
person as may be entitled to receive the same), at any time prior to the day
which is the thirtieth day subsequent to notice of such failure by the Loan
Trustee to the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant (or such longer period
ending on the second day after the expiry of the applicable grace period
specified in the Lease with respect to such default) (and the Loan Trustee shall
not (without the prior written consent of the Owner Trustee) 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 this Article 8 prior to the
occurrence of such date), all sums necessary to effect the performance or
observance of such covenant or agreement of the Company, together with any
interest due thereon on account of the delayed payment thereof to the date of
such payment, and such payment by the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee
shall be deemed to cure as of the date of such payment any Indenture Event of
Default which arose from such failure of the Company (including any Lease Event
of Default arising from the Company's failure to pay interest in respect of such
overdue payment for the period commencing on the date of such payment), but such
cure shall not relieve the Company of any of its obligations. 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(e)(i), 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(e)(i), then any declaration pursuant to Section 15
of the Lease that the Lease is in default, and any declaration pursuant to this
Indenture that the Equipment Notes are due and payable or
58
(Series AA)
65
that an Indenture Event of Default exists, based upon such Lease Event of
Default, shall be deemed rescinded, and 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 Loan 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 Loan 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 Loan Trustee or such other person, as aforesaid (but in each case
only if all amounts of principal of, and interest at the time due and payable
on, the Equipment Notes together with interest due 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 Company pursuant to this Section 8.03(e)(i) except
by demanding of the Company payment of such amount or by commencing an action
against the Company to require the payment of such amount.
(ii) At any time (a) one or more Lease Events of Default shall have
occurred and shall have continued for a period of 180 days or more or (b) the
Equipment Notes shall have been accelerated pursuant to Section 8.02, the Owner
Trustee or the Owner Participant may, at its option, give at least 30 days'
prior irrevocable notice to the Loan Trustee that it will redeem (or purchase in
lieu of redemption) all Equipment Notes then outstanding, which redemption or
purchase shall be pursuant to Section 6.02 and concurrently with such notice,
the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant will deposit with the Loan Trustee an
amount sufficient to redeem or purchase at the applicable Redemption Price
determined consistently with the applicable provisions of Section 6.02
(including, without limitation, Swap Breakage Losses, if any, payable in respect
of the Bank Equipment Notes in connection with any Indenture Event of Default
that is not a Lease Event of Default, but excluding Swap Breakage Losses, if
any, payable in respect of the Bank Equipment Notes in connection with an
Indenture Event of Default that is also a Lease Event of Default) all Equipment
Notes then Outstanding and to pay the Loan Trustee all amounts then due it
hereunder, which funds shall be held by the Loan Trustee as provided in Section
9.03. Upon the giving of such notice and the receipt by the Loan Trustee of such
deposit, the
59
(Series AA)
66
Loan Trustee shall deem all instructions received from the Owner Trustee or the
Owner Participant as having been given by the Loan Participants of 100% of the
Outstanding principal amount of Equipment Notes for all purposes of this
Indenture. If such notice is given, the Owner Trustee further agrees that it
will, if necessary, deposit or cause to be deposited with the Loan Trustee, on
or prior to the Business Day preceding the applicable Redemption Date, whether
or not an Indenture Event of Default is then continuing, additional funds
sufficient, when added to the funds already held by the Loan Trustee for such
purpose, to redeem or purchase at the applicable Redemption Price on such
Redemption Date all Equipment Notes then outstanding and to pay the Loan Trustee
all amounts then due it hereunder. No Make-Whole Amount on the Pass Through
Equipment Notes shall be payable by the Owner Trustee in connection with the
redemption or the purchase of the Pass Through Equipment Notes pursuant to this
Section. Upon the payment of all amounts by the Owner Trustee or the Owner
Participant pursuant to this Section, the Loan Trustee shall transfer the
Equipment Notes to the Owner Trustee.
(iii) It is further agreed and understood that if the Loan Trustee
shall proceed to foreclose the Lien of this Agreement, it shall substantially
simultaneously therewith, to the extent the Loan Trustee is then entitled to do
so hereunder and under the Lease, and is not then stayed or otherwise prevented
from doing so by operation of law, proceed (to the extent it has not already
done so) to exercise one or more comparable or consistent remedies referred to
in Section 15 of the Lease (but in any case, the exercise of such remedies shall
be commercially reasonable); provided, that, if the Loan Trustee is stayed or
otherwise prevented from exercising one or more of the remedies referred to in
Section 15 of the Lease, the Loan Trustee shall not, if and so long as such stay
or other prohibition shall remain in effect, foreclose the Lien of this
Agreement (A) for a period of 60 days after the date of the order for relief in
a chapter 11 case of the Company under the Bankruptcy Code unless the Company
elects to return the Aircraft or to permit the repossession of the Aircraft
before the expiration of such 60-day period and the Loan Trustee actually
repossesses the Aircraft; (B) for so long as the Company has agreed with the
approval of the relevant court to perform the Lease in compliance with the
requirements of Section 1110(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and so long after such
agreement as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing that
relates to the performance of the Lease (other than an Event of Default set
forth in Section 14(g),
60
(Series AA)
67
(h) or (i) of the Lease), provided that no such Event of Default shall be deemed
to occur earlier than the expiration of the 30-day period referred to in Section
1110(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Bankruptcy Code, as such period may be extended with the
approval, if required, of the Loan Trustee; (C) for so long as the 60-day period
specified in Section 1110(b) of the Bankruptcy Code is extended pursuant to
Section 1110(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with the consent of the Loan Trustee; (D)
for such longer period of time after the expiration of the 60-day period
referred to in, and as extended pursuant to, the preceding clause (C) (the
"Period") that the issue of the applicability of Section 1110 to the Aircraft
and Lease being disputed by the Company or the Owner Trustee or is subject to
judicial determination or pending appeal, provided that such longer period of
time shall not extend beyond 6 months after the Period unless there shall not be
continuing any default by the Company in the payment of Basic Rent, other than a
default as to which the 30-day period referred in, and as extended pursuant to,
the preceding clause (B) has not expired (it being understood that if the Owner
Trustee or the Owner Participant cures any such default, such cure shall not be
considered an exercise of Lessor's cure rights for purposes of determining the
number of cures permitted under Section 8.03(e)(i) hereof); or (E) from and
after the Company's assumption with the approval of the relevant court of the
Lease pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and so long after such
assumption as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing that
relates to the performance of the Lease (other than an Event of Default set
forth in Section 14(g), (h) or (i) of the Lease), and other than a default as to
which the 30-day period referred to in, and as extended pursuant to, the
preceding clause (B) has not expired; provided, however, that if such assumption
is in connection with an assignment of the Company's interest in the Lease
pursuant to Section 365(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, this clause (E) shall have no
effect unless the Loan Trustee has agreed that it has received adequate
assurance of future performance as set forth in Section 365(f)(2)(B) of the
Bankruptcy Code or (F) for so long as the Lessee retains possession of the
Aircraft, the Airframe or any Engine even though such retention of possession is
not attributable to the Lessee being in compliance with the provisions of
Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code and the Loan Trustee agrees to (without the
consent of the Owner Trustee and despite the ability of the Owner Trustee, or
the Loan Trustee as the assignee of the Owner Trustee's rights, under applicable
law, to repossess the Aircraft, Airframe or Engine) such retention of possession
of the Aircraft,
61
(Series AA)
68
Airframe or Engine. For the avoidance of doubt, it is expressly understood and
agreed that, subject to the immediately preceding sentence, the above-described
inability of the Loan Trustee to exercise any right or remedy under the Lease
shall in no event and under no circumstances prevent the Loan Trustee from
exercising all of its rights, powers and remedies under this Agreement,
including, without limitation, this Article 8. References in this subsection
(iii) to particular sections of the Bankruptcy Code as in effect on the date of
the amendment and restatement of this Indenture shall include any substantially
similar successor provisions.
(f) The Owner Trustee and the Loan Trustee acknowledge and agree that,
notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, including,
without limitation, the Granting Clause, Section 4.01 and Article 8, as long as
no Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, neither the
Loan Trustee nor the Owner Trustee shall take any action contrary to, or disturb
the Company's rights under, the Lease, including, without limitation, (x) the
right to receive all monies due and payable to it in accordance with the
provisions of the Lease and (y) the Company's rights to possession and use of,
and to quiet enjoyment of, the Aircraft.
(g) Each and every right, power and remedy herein given to the Loan
Trustee specifically or otherwise in this Agreement shall be cumulative and
shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically
given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and
every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise
existing may be exercised from time to time and as often in such order as may be
deemed expedient by the Loan Trustee, and the exercise or the beginning of the
exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the
right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or
remedy. No delay or omission by the Loan Trustee in the exercise of any right,
remedy or power or in pursuing 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 or the Company or to be an acquiescence therein.
(h) Notwithstanding anything contained herein, so long as the Pass
Through Trustee is the registered holder of any Equipment Note hereunder, the
Loan Trustee is not authorized or empowered to acquire title to all or any
portion of
62
(Series AA)
69
the Indenture Estate (including the property subject to the Lien of this
Indenture) or take any action with respect to all or any portion of the
Indenture Estate (including the property subject to the Lien of this Indenture)
so acquired by it if such acquisition or action would cause any Pass Through
Trust to fail to qualify as a "grantor trust" for federal income tax purposes.
Section 8.04. Waiver of Owner Trustee. A delay or omission by the Loan
Trustee or any Loan Participant in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon
an Indenture Event of Default under this Agreement shall not impair the right or
remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in such Indenture Event of
Default.
Section 8.05. Waiver of Existing Defaults. The Loan Participants owning
a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Equipment Notes by
notice to the Loan Trustee may waive on behalf of the Loan Participants an
existing Indenture Default or Indenture Event of Default and its consequences
except (i) an Indenture Default or Indenture Event of Default in the payment of
the principal of, or interest on, any Equipment Note or (ii) in respect of a
covenant or provision hereof that pursuant to Section 11.02 cannot be amended or
modified without the consent of each Loan Participant affected thereby.
Section 8.06. Control by Majority. Loan Participants owning a majority
in aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Outstanding Equipment Notes may
direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Loan Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it
by this Agreement. However, the Loan Trustee may refuse to follow any direction
that conflicts with law, the Lease or this Agreement, that is unduly prejudicial
to the rights of the Loan Participants so affected, or that would subject the
Loan Trustee to personal liability.
Section 8.07. Limitation on Suits by Loan Participants. A Loan
Participant may pursue a remedy under this Agreement or under an Equipment Note
only if:
(1) the Loan Participant gives to the Loan Trustee written notice of a
continuing Indenture Event of Default under this Agreement;
(2) Loan Participants owning at least 25% in aggregate principal amount
of the outstanding Equipment
63
(Series AA)
70
Notes make a written request to the Loan Trustee to pursue the remedy;
(3) such Loan Participant or Loan Participants offer to the Loan
Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Loan Trustee against any loss,
liability or expense to be, or which may be, incurred by the Loan Trustee
in pursuing the remedy;
(4) the Loan Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days
after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and
(5) during such 60-day period, Loan Participants owning a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Equipment Notes do not give
the Loan Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.
A Loan Participant may not use this Agreement to prejudice the rights
of another Loan Participant or to obtain a preference or priority over another
Loan Participant.
Section 8.08. Rights of Loan Participants to Receive Payment.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the right of any Loan
Participant to receive payment of principal of, and Make-Whole Amount, if any,
or Swap Breakage Loss, if any, as the case may be, and interest on an Equipment
Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Equipment Note, to
bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective
dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Loan
Participant.
ARTICLE 9
LOAN TRUSTEE
Section 9.01. Rights and Duties of Loan Trustee. (a) The Loan Trustee
may rely on any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or
presented by the proper person. The Loan Trustee need not investigate any fact
or matter stated in the document.
(b) Before the Loan Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may
consult with counsel or require an Officers' Certificate or an Opinion of
Counsel from the Company or the Owner Trustee after which it will take such
action or refrain from acting as it deems appropriate. The Loan Trustee
64
(Series AA)
71
shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith and
in accordance herewith in reliance on a resolution of the Board of Directors of
the Company, the written advice of counsel acceptable to the Owner Trustee, the
Company and the Loan Trustee, officer's certificates or opinions of counsel
provided by the Company or the Owner Trustee.
(c) The Loan Trustee may act through agents and shall not be
responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any such agent appointed with
due care; provided that, so long as no Lease Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, no such agents shall be appointed by the Loan
Trustee without the consent of the Company and the Owner Trustee, which consent

Trustee shall have received (i) written evidence from Standard & Poor's
Ratings Group, a division of McGraw-Hill, Inc., and Moody's Investors

itself, would not result in a downgrading of the credit rating (if any)
assigned to the Pass Through Certificates then outstanding and (ii) an
Opinion of Counsel for the Company reasonably satisfactory to the Loan
Trustee to the effect that the protection afforded by Section 1110 of the
Bankruptcy Code to the existing Loan Participants would not be adversely
affected by the issuance of such new series of Equipment Notes;

As more fully provided in the Indenture, the Pass Through Equipment
Notes are subject to redemption, on not less than 25 nor more than 60 days'
notice by mail and under the circumstances set forth in the Indenture, at a
redemption price equal to the unpaid principal amount thereof, Make-Whole
Amount, if any, plus accrued interest thereon to the Redemption Date.
If an Indenture Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the
unpaid principal amount of the Equipment Notes may be declared due and payable
in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. If, and only if,
such an event of default constitutes an event of default by the Company under
the Lease, the Loan 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 right of the Loan Participant to institute action for any remedy
under the Indenture, including the enforcement of payment of any amount due
hereon, is subject to certain restrictions specified in the Indenture.
The Owner Trustee and the Loan Trustee will be discharged from their
respective obligations in respect of the Equipment Notes (except for certain
matters, including obligations to register the transfer or exchange of Equipment
Notes, replace stolen, lost or mutilated Equipment Notes, maintain paying
agencies and hold moneys for payment in trust), and the Loan Trustee may
thereupon cause the release of the Indenture Estate from the lien of the
Indenture, if (a) the Owner Trustee deposits or causes to be deposited
irrevocably with the Loan Trustee, in trust, money or U.S. Government
Obligations which through the payment of interest and principal in respect
thereof in accordance with their terms will provide money in an amount
sufficient to pay principal of, Make Whole Amount or Swap Breakage Loss, if any,
as the case may be, and interest on the Outstanding Equipment Notes on the dates
such payments are due in accordance with the terms of such Equipment Notes and
(b) certain other conditions are satisfied, including the publication by the
United States Internal Revenue Service of a ruling to the effect that the
deposit and related defeasance would not cause the Loan Participants to
recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, this Pass Through Equipment Note is transferable,
and upon surrender of this Pass

respective obligations in respect of the Equipment Notes (except for certain
matters, including obligations to register the transfer or exchange of Equipment
Notes, replace stolen, lost or mutilated Equipment Notes, maintain paying
agencies and hold moneys for payment in trust), and the Loan Trustee may
thereupon cause the release of the Indenture Estate from the lien of the
Indenture, if (a) the Owner Trustee deposits or causes to be deposited
irrevocably with the Loan Trustee, in trust, money or U.S. Government
Obligations which through the payment of interest and principal in respect
thereof in accordance with their terms will provide money in an amount
sufficient to pay principal of, Make-Whole Amount or Swap Breakage Loss, if any,
as the case may be, and interest on the Outstanding Equipment Notes on the dates
such payments are due in accordance with the terms of such Equipment Notes and
(b) certain other conditions are satisfied, including the publication by the

Section 7.03. [Intentionally Omitted]
(H) Sections 8.01, 8.02, 8.03 and 8.04 thereof shall read as follows:
Section 8.01. Indenture Events of Default. The following events shall
constitute "Indenture Events of Default" under this Indenture (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) and each such Indenture Event of Default shall be deemed to
exist and continue so long as, but only as long as, it shall not have been
remedied:
(a) the Company shall fail to pay any installment of interest upon any
Equipment Note, or the principal of any Equipment Note or of Make-Whole
Amount, if any, or Swap Breakage Loss, if any, as the case may be, in
respect of any Equipment Note, in each case when the same shall be due and
payable (whether upon redemption, final maturity, acceleration or
otherwise), and, in each case, such failure shall continue for more than 15
days after the same shall have become due and payable; or
(b) the Company shall fail to carry and maintain insurance on or with
respect to the Aircraft in accordance with the provisions of Section 11 of
Article 15 hereof; provided that, in the case of insurance with respect to
which cancellation, change or lapse for nonpayment of premium shall not be
effective as to the Loan Trustee, the Bank Lenders or the Pass Through
Trustee for 30 days (seven days, or such other period
19
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AA)
139
as may from time to time be customarily obtainable in the industry, in the
case of any war risk and allied perils coverage) after receipt of notice by
the Loan Trustee of such cancellation, change or lapse, no such failure to
carry and maintain insurance shall constitute an Indenture Event of Default
hereunder until the earlier of (i) the date such failure shall have
continued unremedied for a period of 20 days (five days in the case of any
war risk and allied perils coverage) after receipt by the Loan Trustee of
the notice of cancellation, change or lapse referred to in Section 11(a)(C)
or 11(b)(C) of Article 15 hereof, or ( ii) the date such insurance not
being in effect as to the Loan Trustee or the Bank Lenders; or
(c) the Company shall operate the Aircraft at a time when public
liability insurance required by Section 11(a) of Article 15 hereof shall
not be in effect; or
(d) the Company shall fail to perform or observe any covenant or
agreement to be performed or observed by it hereunder or under the
Participation Agreement and such failure shall continue unremedied for a
period of 30 days after written notice thereof has been given by the Loan
Trustee; provided that, if such failure is capable of being remedied, so
long as the Company is diligently proceeding to remedy such failure, no
such failure shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder for a period of
up to 365 days; or
(e) any material representation or warranty made by the Company in the
Participation Agreement or in the Purchase Agreement (to the extent
applicable to the Aircraft) or in any document or certificate furnished by
the Company in connection herewith or therewith or pursuant hereto or
thereto shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect at the
time made and such incorrectness shall continue to be material and shall
continue unremedied for a period of 30 days after written notice thereof
has been given by the Loan Trustee; or
(f) the Company shall consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee
or liquidator of itself or of a substantial part of its property or the
Company 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
20
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AA)
140
(g) the Company shall file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or a
voluntary petition or an answer seeking reorganization in a proceeding
under any bankruptcy laws (as now or hereafter in effect) or an answer
admitting the material allegations of a petition filed against the Company
in any such proceeding, or the Company shall by voluntary petition, answer
or consent, seek relief under the provisions of any other now existing or
future bankruptcy or other similar law providing for the reorganization or
winding up of corporations, or providing for an agreement, composition,
extension or adjustment with its creditors; or
(h) an order, judgment, or decree shall be entered by any court of
competent jurisdiction appointing, without the consent of the Company, a
receiver, trustee or liquidator of the Company or of any substantial part
of its property, or sequestering any substantial part of the property of
the Company, and any such order, judgment or decree of appointment or
sequestration shall remain in force undismissed, unstayed or unvacated for
a period of 90 days after the date of entry thereof; or
(i) a petition against the Company in a proceeding under the Federal
bankruptcy laws or other insolvency laws, as now or hereafter in effect,
shall be filed and shall not be withdrawn or dismissed within 90 days
thereafter, or, under the provisions of any law providing for
reorganization or winding-up of corporations which may apply to the
Company, any court of competent jurisdiction shall assume jurisdiction,
custody or control of the Company 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 90 days;
provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Indenture, any failure of the Company to perform or observe any covenant,
condition, or agreement herein shall not constitute an Indenture Event of
Default if such failure is caused solely by reason of an event referred to in
the definition of "Event of Loss", so long as the Company is continuing to
comply with the applicable terms of Section 10 of Article 15 hereof.
Section 8.02. Acceleration; Rescission and Annulment. If an Indenture
Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Loan Trustee, by notice to the
Company, or the Loan Participants holding at least 25% in aggregate princi-
21
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AA)
141
pal amount of outstanding Equipment Notes by notice to the Company and the Loan
Trustee, may declare the principal of all the Equipment Notes to be due and
payable. Upon such declaration, the principal of all Equipment Notes, together
with accrued interest thereon from the date in respect of which interest was
last paid hereunder to the date payment of such principal has been made or duly
provided for shall be due and payable immediately, together with Swap Breakage
Loss, if any, on the Bank Equipment Notes. At any time after such declaration
and prior to the sale or disposition of the Indenture Estate, the Loan
Participants in a majority in aggregate principal amount of all of the
Outstanding Equipment Notes, by notice to the Loan Trustee and the Company, may
rescind such a declaration and thereby annul its consequences if (i) an amount
sufficient to pay all principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and Swap
Breakage Loss, if any, and interest thereon, at the rate prescribed therefor in
such Equipment Note and interest due or past due, if any, in respect of the
Outstanding Equipment Notes plus all other amounts payable to the Loan
Participants, other than by reason of such acceleration, and all sums due and
payable to the Loan Trustee has been deposited with the Loan Trustee, (ii) the
rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and (iii) all
existing Indenture Defaults and Indenture Events of Default under this
Indenture have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal of, Swap
Breakage Loss, if any, or interest on the Equipment Notes that has become due
solely because of such acceleration. No Make-Whole Amount shall be payable on
the Pass Through Equipment Notes as a result of the acceleration of the
Equipment Notes.
Section 8.03. Other Remedies Available to Loan Trustee. (a) After an
Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred and so long as the same shall be
continuing, then and in every such case the Loan Trustee, as trustee of an
express trust and as holder of a security interest in the Aircraft or Engines or
otherwise, may, at its option, declare this Indenture to be in default by a
written notice to the Company; and at any time thereafter, so long as the
Company shall not have remedied all outstanding Events of Default, the Loan
Trustee may do one or more of the following with respect to all or any part of
any Airframe or any Engines as the Loan Trustee in its sole discretion shall
elect, to the extent permitted by, and subject to compliance with any mandatory
requirements of, applicable law then in effect; provided, however, that, during
any period when the Aircraft is subject to the Civil Reserve Air Fleet Program
in accordance with the provisions of Section 7(b) of Article 15 hereof and in
the possession of the United States
22
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AA)
142
government or an instrumentality or agency thereof, and to the extent that any
applicable law or contractual provision covering the Aircraft so requires, the
Loan Trustee shall not, on account of any Indenture Event of Default, be
entitled to do any of the following in such manner as to limit the Company's
control (or any lessee's control, under any lease permitted by the terms of
Section 7(b) of Article 15 hereof) of any Airframe or any Engines, unless at
least 60 days' (or such lesser period as may then be applicable under the
Military Airlift Command Program of the United States Government) prior written
notice of default under this Indenture with respect to the Company's
obligations hereunder shall have been given by the Loan Trustee by registered
or certified mail to the Company (and, if applicable, any such lessee) with a
copy addressed to the Contracting Office Representative for the Military
Airlift Command of the United States Air Force under any contract with the
Company (or any such lessee) relating to the Aircraft:
(i) cause the Company, upon the written demand of the Loan Trustee and
at the Company's expense, to return promptly, and the Company shall return
promptly, all or such part of any Airframe or any Engine as the Loan
Trustee may so demand to the Loan Trustee or its order or the Loan Trustee,
at its option, may enter upon the premises where all or any part of such
Airframe or any Engine are located and take immediate possession of and
remove the same (together with any engine which is not an Engine but which
is installed on the Airframe, subject to all of the rights of the owner,
lessor, lienor or secured party of such engine; provided that the Airframe
with an engine (which is not an Engine) installed thereon may be flown or
returned only to a location within the continental United States, and such
engine shall be held for the account of any such owner, lessor, lienor or
secured party or, if owned by the Company, may, at the option of the Loan
Trustee, be exchanged with the Company for an Engine) all without liability
accruing to the Loan Trustee for or by reason of such entry or taking of
possession or removal, whether for the restoration of damage to property
caused by taking or otherwise; or
(ii) sell all or any part of any Airframe and any Engine at public or
private sale, whether or not the Loan Trustee shall at the time have
possession thereof, as the Loan Trustee may determine, or otherwise dispose
of, hold, use, operate, lease to others or keep idle all or any part of
such Airframe or such Engine as the Loan Trustee, in its sole discretion,
may determine,
23
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AA)
143
all free and clear of any rights of the Company and without any duty to
account to the Company with respect to such action or inaction or for any
proceeds with respect thereto.
(b) Subject to Section 8.03(e) and Section 8.03(h), if an Indenture
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Loan Trustee may, if at the
time such action may be lawful and always subject to compliance with any
mandatory legal requirements, either with or without taking possession, and
either before or after taking possession, and without instituting any legal
proceedings whatsoever, and having first given notice of such sale by registered
mail to the Company once at least thirty days prior to the date of such sale,
and any other notice which may be required by law, sell and dispose of the
Indenture Estate, or any part thereof, or interest therein, at public auction to
the highest bidder, in one lot as an entirety or in separate lots, and either
for cash or on credit and on such terms as the Loan Trustee may determine, and
at any place (whether or not it be the location of the Indenture Estate or any
part thereof) and time designated in the notice above referred to; provided,
however, that, notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Loan
Trustee shall not sell any of the Indenture Estate unless a declaration of
acceleration has been made pursuant to Section 8.02. Any such sale or sales may
be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place appointed
for such sale or sales, or for any such adjourned sale or sales, without further
notice, and the Loan Trustee and any Loan Participant may bid and become the
purchaser at any such sale. The Loan Trustee may exercise such right without
possession or production of the Equipment Notes or proof of ownership thereof,
and as representative of the Loan Participants may exercise such right without
notice to the Loan Participants or including the Loan Participants as parties to
any suit or proceeding relating to foreclosure of any property in the Indenture
Estate. The Company hereby irrevocably constitutes the Loan Trustee the true and
lawful attorney-in-fact of the Company (in the name of the Company or otherwise)
for the purpose of effectuating any sale, assignment, transfer or delivery for
enforcement of the Lien created under 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 Loan Trustee may consider
necessary or appropriate, with full power of substitution, the Company hereby
ratifying and confirming all that such attorney or any substitute shall lawfully
do by virtue hereof. Nevertheless, if so requested by the Loan Trustee or any
purchaser, the Company shall ratify and con-
24
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AA)
144
firm any such sale, assignment, transfer or delivery, by executing and
delivering to the Loan Trustee or such purchaser all bills of sale,
assignments, releases and such proper instruments to effect such ratification
and confirmation as may be designated in any such request.
(c) Subject to Section 8.03(e) and 8.03(h), if an Indenture Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall, at the request the
Loan Trustee, promptly execute and deliver to the Loan Trustee such instruments
of title or other documents as the Loan Trustee may deem necessary or advisable
to enable the Loan Trustee or an agent or representative designated by the Loan
Trustee, at such time or times and place or places as the Loan Trustee may
specify, to obtain possession of all or any part of the Indenture Estate. If the
Company shall for any reason fail to execute and deliver such instruments and
documents after such request by the Loan Trustee, the Loan Trustee shall be
entitled, in a proceeding to which the Company will be a necessary party, to a
judgment for specific performance of the covenants contained in the foregoing
sentence, conferring upon the Loan Trustee the right to immediate possession and
requiring the Company to execute and deliver such instruments and documents to
the Loan Trustee. The Loan Trustee shall also be entitled to pursue all or any
part of the Indenture Estate wherever it may be found and may enter any of the
premises of the Company or any other Person wherever the Indenture Estate may be
or is supposed to be and search for the Indenture Estate and take possession of
any item of the Indenture Estate pursuant to this Section 8.03(c). The Loan
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 Loan Trustee shall have the right to
use, operate, store, lease, control or manage the Indenture Estate, and to
exercise all rights and powers of the Company relating to the Indenture Estate
as the Loan Trustee shall deem appropriate, including the right to enter into
any and all such agreements with respect to the use, operation, storage,
leasing, control or management of the Indenture Estate or any part thereof; and
the Loan Trustee shall be entitled to collect and receive directly all tolls,
rents, issues, profits, products, revenues and other income of the Indenture
Estate and every part thereof, without prejudice, however, to the right of the
Loan Trustee under any provision of this Indenture to collect and receive all
cash held by, or required to be deposited with, the Loan Trustee hereunder. In
accordance with the terms of this Section 8.03(c), such tolls,
25
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AA)
145
rents, issues, profits, products, revenues and other income shall be applied to
pay all expenses of using, operating, storing, leasing, controlling or managing
the Indenture Estate, and of all maintenance, insurance, repairs, replacements,
alterations, additions and improvements, and to make all payments which the
Loan 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
Company in accordance with this Section 8.03(c)), and all other payments which
the Loan Trustee may be required or authorized to make under any provision of
this Indenture, including this Section 8.03(c), as well as just and reasonable
compensation for the services of the Loan Trustee, and of all Persons properly
engaged and employed by the Loan Trustee.
If an Indenture Event of Default occurs and is continuing and the Loan
Trustee shall have obtained possession of or title to the Aircraft, the Loan
Trustee shall not be obligated to use or operate the Aircraft or cause the
Aircraft to be used or operated directly or indirectly by itself or through
agents or other representatives or to lease, license or otherwise permit or
provide for the use or operation of the Aircraft by any other Person unless (i)
the Loan Trustee shall have been able to obtain insurance in kinds, at rates and
in amounts satisfactory to it in its discretion to protect the Indenture Estate
and the Loan Trustee, as trustee and individually, against any and all liability
for loss or damage to the Aircraft and for public liability and property damage
resulting from use or operation of the Aircraft and (ii) funds are available in
the Indenture Estate to pay for all such insurance or, in lieu of such
insurance, the Loan Trustee is furnished with indemnification from the holders
of the Equipment Notes or any other Person upon terms and in amounts
satisfactory to the Loan Trustee in its discretion to protect the Indenture
Estate and the Loan Trustee, as trustee and individually, against any and all
such liabilities.
(d) Subject to Section 8.03(e) and 8.03(h), the Loan Trustee may
proceed to protect and enforce this Indenture and the Equipment Notes by suit or
suits or proceedings in equity, at law or in bankruptcy, and whether for the
specific performance of any covenant or agreement herein contained or in
execution or aid of any power herein granted; or for foreclosure hereunder, or
for the appointment of a receiver or receivers for the Indenture Estate or any
part thereof, or for the recovery in judgment for the
26
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AA)
146
indebtedness secured by the Lien created under this Indenture or for the
enforcement of any other proper, legal or equitable remedy available under
applicable law.
(e) Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture to the contrary,
including, without limitation, Sections 8.03(b), 8.03(c) and 8.03(d), so long as
no Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Loan
Trustee shall not take any action contrary to, or disturb, the Company's rights
to possession and use of, and quiet enjoyment of, the Aircraft.
(f) Each and every right, power and remedy herein given to the Loan
Trustee specifically or otherwise in this Indenture shall be cumulative and
shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically
given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and
every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise
existing may be exercised from time to time and as often in such order as may be
deemed expedient by the Loan Trustee, and the exercise or the beginning of the
exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the
right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or
remedy. No delay or omission by the Loan Trustee in the exercise of any right,
remedy or power or in pursuing 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 Company
or to be an acquiescence therein.
(g) Notwithstanding any provision hereof, if any payment of principal
of any Equipment Note shall not be made when and as the same shall become due
and payable, or if any payment of interest on any Equipment Note shall not be
made when and as the same shall become due and payable, and such failure shall
continue for the period prescribed in Section 8.01(a), the Loan Trustee shall be
entitled to recover judgment, in its own name and as trustee of an express
trust, upon the Equipment Note for the whole amount of such principal or
interest, as the case may be, remaining unpaid.
(h) Notwithstanding anything contained herein, so long as the Pass
Through Trustee is the registered holder of any Equipment Note hereunder, the
Loan Trustee is not authorized or empowered to acquire title to all or any
portion of the Indenture Estate or take any action with respect to all or any
portion of the Indenture Estate so acquired by it if such acquisition or action
would cause any Pass Through Trust to fail to qualify as a "grantor trust" for
Federal income tax purposes.
27
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AA)
147
Section 8.04. Waiver of Company. To the extent now or at any time
hereafter enforceable under applicable law, the Company covenants that it will
not at any time insist upon or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take
any benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law now or at any time
hereafter in force, nor claim, take nor insist upon any benefit or advantage of
or from any law now or hereafter in force providing for the valuation or
appraisement of the Indenture Estate or any part thereof, prior to any sale or
sales thereof to be made pursuant to any provision herein contained, or to the
decree, judgment or order of any court of competent jurisdiction; nor, after
such sale or sales, claim or exercise any right under any statute now or
hereafter made or enacted by any state or otherwise to redeem the property so
sold or any part thereof, and hereby expressly waives for itself and on behalf
of each and every Person, except decree or judgment creditors of the Company
acquiring any interest in or title to the Indenture Estate or any part thereof
subsequent to the date of this Indenture, all benefit and advantage of any such
law or laws, and covenants that it will not invoke or utilize any such law or
laws or otherwise hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein
granted and delegated to the Loan Trustee, but will suffer and permit the
execution of every such power as though no such law or laws had been made or
enacted.
The Loan Trustee may maintain such a proceeding even if it does not
possess any of the Equipment Notes or does not produce any of them in the
proceeding. A delay or omission by the Loan Trustee or any Loan Participant in
exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Indenture Event of Default under
this Indenture shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or
acquiescence in such Indenture Event of Default.
(I) Section 9.11 thereof shall read as follows:
Section 9.11. Assumption of Certain Obligations. Notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary contained herein, any reference in this Article 9 to
the Owner Trustee or to any obligation of the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to
be a reference to the Company or to an obligation of the Company, as the case
may be, any reference to "Lease Event of Default" shall be deemed to be a
reference to an "Indenture Event of Default," all provisions requiring notices
to the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant shall be deemed to be deleted for
the purposes of this Article 9 and any provision in this Article 9 requiring the
action or consent
28
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AA)
148
of the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to require the action or approval of the
Company.
(J) Sections 10.01 and 10.04 thereof shall read as follows:
Section 10.01. Satisfaction and Discharge of Agreement; Defeasance;
Termination of Obligations. Subject to Section 10.02, this Indenture shall cease
to be of further effect, and the Company and the Loan Trustee shall be deemed to
have been discharged from their respective obligations with respect to the
Equipment Notes (and the Loan Trustee, on demand and at the expense of the
Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture in respect of the Equipment Notes), when
(a) (i) all Equipment Notes theretofore executed and delivered (other
than (A) Equipment Notes which have been mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen and which have been replaced or exchanged as provided in Section
2.06 and (B) Equipment Notes for the payment of which money held in trust
hereunder has been paid and discharged from such trust, as provided in
Section 7.01) have been delivered to the Loan Trustee for cancellation; or
(ii) all Equipment Notes not theretofore delivered to the Loan Trustee
for cancellation have become due and payable (whether upon stated maturity,
as a result of redemption or upon acceleration), or will become due and
payable (including as a result of redemption in respect of which
irrevocable notice has been given to the Loan Trustee on or prior to the
date of the deposit referred to below) at maturity within one year, and
there has been deposited with the Loan Trustee in trust for the purpose of
paying and discharging the entire indebtedness of the Equipment Notes not
theretofore cancelled by the Loan Trustee or delivered to the Loan Trustee
for cancellation, an amount in cash sufficient without reinvestment thereof
to discharge such indebtedness, including the principal of, Make-Whole
Amount, if any, or Swap Breakage Loss, if any, as the case may be, and
interest on the Equipment Notes to the date of such deposit (in the case of
Equipment Notes which have become due and payable), or to the maturity

149
(iii) (A) the Company has deposited or caused to be deposited
irrevocably (except as provided in Section 10.04) with the Loan Trustee as

solely to, the benefit of the Loan Participants, (1) money in an amount, or
(2) U.S. Government Obligations which, through the payment of interest and
principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms, will provide
(not later than one Business Day before the due date of any payment
referred to below in this clause) money in an amount, or (3) a combination
of money and U.S. Government Obligations referred to in the foregoing
clause (2), sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
independent certified public accountants expressed in a written
certification thereof delivered to the Loan Trustee, to pay and discharge
each installment of principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, or Swap
Breakage Loss, if any, as the case maybe, and interest on the Outstanding
Equipment Notes on the dates such payments of principal or interest are due
(including as a result of redemption in respect of which irrevocable notice

Sections 8.01(f) through 8.01(i) hereof shall have occurred and be
continuing on the date of such deposit or at any time during the period
ending on the 91st day after such date; provided further that, upon the
making of the deposit referred to above in clause (A), the right of the
Company to cause the redemption of Equipment Notes (except redemption in
respect of which irrevocable notice has theretofore been given) shall
terminate;
(B) such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or
constitute an Indenture Default or Indenture Event of Default under, this
Indenture or a default or event of default under any other agreement or
instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound; and
(C) the Company has delivered to the Loan Trustee an Officers'
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that there has been
published by the Internal Revenue Service a ruling to the effect that Loan
Participants will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax
purposes as a result of the exercise by the Company of its option under
this Section 10.01(a)(iii) and will be subject to Federal income tax on the
same amount and in the same manner and
30

150
at the same time as would have been the case if such option had not been
exercised;
(b) all other amounts then due and payable hereunder have been paid;
and
(c) the Company has delivered to the Loan Trustee an Officers'
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions

an Opinion of Counsel for the Company reasonably satisfactory to the Loan
Trustee to the effect that the protection afforded by Section 1110 of the
Bankruptcy Code to the existing Loan Participants would not be adversely

such opinion need not be delivered to the extent that the benefits of such
Section 1110 are not available to the Loan Participants with respect to the
Aircraft immediately prior to such Assumption; and provided further , that such
opinion may contain qualifications of the tenor contained in the opinion of
Debevoise & Plimpton delivered pursuant to Section 3(k) of the Refunding

or any Engine or interest therein, (v) materialmen's, mechanics', workmen's,
repairmen's, employees' or other like Liens arising in the ordinary course
38
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AA)

not involve any material danger of the sale, forfeiture or loss of the Airframe
or any Engine or interest therein, (vi) Liens arising out of judgments or awards
against the Company with respect to which an appeal or proceeding for review is
being prosecuted in good faith and with respect to which there shall have been
secured a stay of execution pending such appeal or proceeding for review and

pursuant to Section 11 of this Article. The Company will promptly, at its own
expense, take such action as may be necessary duly to discharge (by bonding or

Section 7. Registration, Maintenance and Operation; Possession;
Insignia. (a) Registration, Maintenance and Operation. The Company, at its own
cost and expense, shall:
(i) cause the Aircraft at all times to be duly registered, under the
laws of the United States, in the name of the Company, as owner, except as
otherwise required by the Federal Aviation Act; provided that the Loan
Trustee shall execute and deliver all such documents as the Company shall
reasonably request for the purpose of effecting and continuing such
registration. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, but subject always to
the terms and conditions set forth in Section 7.02 of this Indenture, the
Company may cause the Aircraft to be duly registered under the laws of any
jurisdiction in which a lessee pursuant to Section 7(b)(ix) of this Article
could be principally based and shall thereafter maintain such registration
unless and until changed as provided herein and therein; and the Loan
Trustee will cooperate with the company in effecting such foreign
registration;
(ii) maintain, service, repair, overhaul and test the Aircraft in
accordance with a maintenance program (as approved by the Federal Aviation
Administration) for Boeing 767-300 series aircraft (or, at the Company's
option, (x) in the event that the Aircraft is re-registered in another
jurisdiction pursuant to Section 7(a)(i) of this Article, in accordance
with an aircraft maintenance program approved by the central civil aviation
authority of the jurisdiction of such
39
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AA)
159
registration or (y) in the event of any lease to a foreign air carrier in
accordance with Section 7(b)(ix) of this Article, approved by the central
civil aviation authority of one of the jurisdictions specified in clause
(y) of such Section 7(b)(ix)) and in the same manner and with the same care
used by the Company with respect to comparable aircraft and engines owned
or operated by the Company and utilized in similar circumstances so as to
keep the Aircraft in as good operating condition as when delivered to the
Company by the Manufacturer, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and in such
condition as may be necessary to enable the airworthiness certification of
the Aircraft to be maintained in good standing at all times (other than
during temporary periods of storage in accordance with applicable
regulations or during periods of grounding by applicable governmental
authorities, except where such periods of grounding are the result of the
failure by the Company to maintain the Aircraft as otherwise required
herein) under the Federal Aviation Act or, if the Aircraft is registered
under the laws of any other jurisdiction, the laws of such jurisdiction and
in compliance with all applicable manufacturer's alert service bulletins;
(iii) maintain, in the English language, all records, logs and other
materials required by the appropriate authorities in the jurisdiction where
the Aircraft is registered to be maintained in respect of the Aircraft; and
(iv) promptly furnish to the Loan Trustee such information as may be
required to enable the Loan Trustee to file any reports, returns or
statements required to be filed by the Loan Trustee with any governmental
authority because of the Loan Trustee's interest in the Aircraft.
The Company agrees that the Aircraft will not be maintained, used or
operated in violation of any law or any rule, regulation or order of any
government or governmental authority having jurisdiction (domestic of foreign),
or in violation of any airworthiness certificate, license or registration
relating to the Aircraft issued by any such authority; provided that the Company
shall not be in default under this sentence if it is not possible for it to
comply with the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States (or other
than any jurisdiction in which the Aircraft is then registered) because of a
conflict with the applicable laws of the United States (or such jurisdiction in
which the Aircraft is then registered). In the event that any such
40
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AA)
160
law, rule, regulation or order requires alteration of the Aircraft, the Company
will conform thereto or obtain conformance therewith at no expense to the Loan
Trustee and will maintain the Aircraft in proper operating condition under such
laws, rules, regulations and orders; provided, however, that the Company may,
in good faith, contest the validity or application of any such law, rule,
regulation or order in any reasonable manner which does not materially
adversely affect the Loan Trustee, the Aircraft, the Loan Participants or the
Lien of this Indenture. The Company also agrees not to operate or locate the
Aircraft, or suffer the Aircraft to be operated or located, (i) in any area
excluded from coverage by any insurance required by the terms of Section 11 of
this Article, except in the case of a requisition for use by any Government
where the Company obtains indemnity pursuant to Section 11 of this Article in
lieu of such insurance from such Government against the risks and in the
amounts required by Section 11 of this Article in lieu of such insurance from
such Government against the risks and in the amounts required by Section 11 of
this Article covering such area, or (ii) in any war zone or recognized or, in
the Company's judgment, threatened area of hostilities unless covered by war
risk insurance in accordance with Section 11 of this Article, but only so long
as the same remains in effect while the Aircraft is so operated or located, or
unless the Aircraft is operated or used under contract with any Government
entered into pursuant to Section 11 of this Article, under which contract such
Government assumes liability for any damage, loss, destruction or failure to
return possession of the Aircraft at the end of the term of such contract or
for injury to persons or damage to property of others.
(b) Possession. The Company will not, without the prior written consent
of the Loan Trustee, lease or otherwise in any manner deliver, transfer or
relinquish possession of 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 Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, and so long as the action to be taken shall not deprive the Loan
Trustee of the perfected lien of this Indenture on the Airframe or (subject to
the subclause (B) of the "provided further" clause to subsection (i) of this
Section 7(b)) any Engine, and in any event, so long as the company shall comply
with the provisions of Section 11, the Company may, without the prior consent of
the Loan Trustee:
(i) subject the Airframe to normal interchange agreements or any Engine
to normal interchange or pooling agreements or arrangements in each case
customary
41
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AA)
161
in the airline industry and entered into by the Company in the ordinary
course of its business with any other United States air carrier as to which
there is in force a certificate issued pursuant to Section 401 of the
Federal Aviation Act or any successor provision that gives like authority
or with any "foreign air carrier" (as such term is defined in such Act) as
to which there is in force a permit issued pursuant to Section 402 of said
Act (any such United States certificated air carrier and any such foreign
air carrier being hereinafter called a "Permitted Air Carrier"); provided
that no transfer of the registration of such Airframe shall be effected in
connection therewith; and provided, further, that (A) no such agreement or
arrangement contemplates or requires the transfer of title to the Airframe
and ( B) if the Company's title to any such Engine shall be divested under
any such agreement or arrangement, such divestiture shall be deemed to be
an Event of Loss with respect to such Engine and the Company shall comply
with Section 10(b) of this Article in respect thereof;
(ii) deliver possession of the Airframe or any Engine to the
manufacturer thereof for testing or other similar purposes or to any
organization for service, repair, maintenance or overhaul work on the

modifications in or additions to the Airframe or such Engine to the extent
required or permitted by the terms of Section 7(a) or 8(c) of this Article;
(iii) transfer possession of the Airframe or any Engine to the United
States of America or any instrumentality or agency thereof pursuant to a
sublease, contract or other instrument, a copy of which shall be furnished
to the Loan Trustee;
(iv) transfer possession of the Airframe or any Engine to the United
State of America or any instrumentality or agency thereof in accordance
with applicable laws, rulings, regulations or orders (including, without
limitation, the Civil Reserve Air Fleet Program authorized under 10 U.S.C.
Section 9511 et seq. or any substantially similar program);
(v) install an Engine on an airframe owned by the Company free and
clear of all Liens, except (A) those of the type permitted under clauses
(i), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) of Section 6 of this Article and
those which apply only to the engines (other than En-
42
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AA)
162
gines), appliances, parts, instruments, appurtenances, accessories,
furnishings and other equipment (other than Parts) installed on such
airframe (but not to the airframe as an entirety) and (B) the rights of
other Permitted Air Carriers under normal interchange agreements which are
customary in the airline industry and do not contemplate, permit or require
the transfer of title to the airframe or engines installed thereon;
(vi) install an Engine on an airframe leased to the Company or owned by
the Company subject to a conditional sale or other security agreement;
provided that (A) such airframe is free and clear of all Liens except the
right of the parties to the lease or conditional sale or other security
agreement covering such airframe and except Liens of the type permitted by
clauses (A) and (B) of subparagraph (v) of this paragraph of Section 7(b)
of this Article and (B) the Company shall have obtained from the lessor or
secured party of such airframe a written agreement (which may be the lease
or conditional sale or other security agreement covering such airframe), in
form and substance satisfactory to the Loan Trustee (it being understood
that an agreement from such lessor or secured party substantially in the
form of the final sentence of the penultimate paragraph of this Section
7(b) of this Article shall be deemed to be satisfactory to the Loan
Trustee), whereby such lessor or secured party expressly agrees that
neither it nor its successors or assigns will acquire or claim any right,
title or interest in any Engine by reason of such Engine being installed on
such airframe at any time while such Engine is subject to the lien of the
Trust Indenture;
(vii) install an Engine on an airframe owned by the Company, leased to
the Company or owned by the Company subject to a conditional sale or other
security agreement under circumstances where neither subparagraph (v) nor
subparagraph (vi) of this Section 7(b) of this Article is applicable;
provided that such installation shall be deemed an Event of Loss with
respect to such Engine and the Company shall comply with Section 10(b) of
this Article in respect thereof, the Loan Trustee not intending hereby to
waive any right or interest it may have to or in such Engine under
applicable law until compliance by the Company with such Section 10(b) of
this Article;
43
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AA)
163
(viii) lease any Engine or the Airframe and Engines or engines then
installed on the Airframe to any United States air carrier as to which
there is in force a certificate issued pursuant to Section 401 of the
Federal Aviation Act or successor provision that gives like authority;
(ix) lease any Engine or the Airframe and Engines or engines then
installed on the Airframe to (A) any foreign air carrier that is
principally based in and a domiciliary of a country (other than Cuba, El
Salvador, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon and Libya) that is at the inception of the
lease a party to the Mortgage Convention, or (B) any foreign air carrier
that is principally based in and a domiciliary of a country listed in
Schedule I hereto, or (C) any foreign air carrier not described in clause
(A) or (B) above; provided that (w) in the case only of a lease to a
foreign air carrier under clause (C) above, the Loan Trustee receives at
the time of such lease an opinion of counsel to the Company (which counsel
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee) to the effect that
(a) the terms of the lease and the Operative Documents are legal, valid,
binding and enforceable in the country in which such air carrier is
principally based, to substantially the same extent as the Operative
Documents are at that time enforceable in the United States, (b) it is not
necessary for the Loan Trustee to qualify to do business in such country
solely as a result of the proposed lease, (c) there is no tort liability of
the Loan Trustee as a result of the Lien of this Indenture under the laws
of such country other than tort liability no more extensive or onerous than
that which might have been imposed on the Loan Trustee under the laws of
the United States or any state thereof (it being understood that, in the
event such opinion cannot be given in a form satisfactory to the Loan
Trustee, such opinion shall be waived if insurance reasonably satisfactory
to the Loan Trustee is provided by the Company to cover the risk of such
liability), (d) the laws of such country require fair compensation by the
government of such country for the loss of the use of the Aircraft in the
event of the requisition by such government of the Aircraft (unless the
Company shall have agreed to provide insurance reasonably satisfactory to
the Loan Trustee covering the risk of requisition of use of the Aircraft by
the government of such jurisdiction so long as the aircraft is leased in
such country), and (e) there exist no possessory rights in favor of such
lessee under the laws of such country which would, upon
44
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AA)
164
bankruptcy of or other default by the Company or the lessee, prevent the
return of such Engine or the Airframe and such Engine or engine to the Loan
Trustee in accordance with and when permitted by the terms of this
Indenture upon the exercise by the Loan Trustee of its remedies under this
Indenture (x) in the case only of a lease to a foreign air carrier under
clause (C) above, the Loan Trustee receives assurances reasonably
satisfactory to it that the currency of such country is freely convertible
into U.S. Dollars (unless the Company shall have agreed to provide the
requisition insurance described in subclause (d) of clause (w) above), (y)
in the case of any lease to a foreign air carrier, either the lease, or an
arrangement existing between the Company, the lessee and/or one or more
third parties that provide maintenance services, provides that the Aircraft
will be maintained, serviced, repaired, overhauled and tested in accordance
with maintenance standards for Boeing 767-300 series aircraft approved by,
or substantially similar to those approved or required by, the Federal
Aviation Administration or the central civil aviation authority of any of
Brazil, Canada, France, The Federal Republic of Germany, Italy, Japan, the
Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland or the United Kingdom and (z) in the case
of any lease to a foreign air carrier (other than a foreign air carrier
principally based in Taiwan) the United States of America maintains
diplomatic relations with the country in which such foreign air carrier is
principally based at the time such lease is entered into;
provided that the rights of any transferee who receives possession by reason of
a transfer permitted by this Section 7(b) (other than the transfer of an Engine
which is deemed an Event of Loss) shall be subject and subordinate to, and any
lease permitted by this Section 7(b) shall be made expressly subject and
subordinate to, all the terms of this Indenture, including, without limitation,
the Loan Trustee's rights to repossession pursuant to Article 8 hereof and to
avoid such lease upon such repossession and the Loan Trustee's rights to
possession pursuant to Section 8.03 of this Indenture, and the Company shall in
all events remain primarily liable hereunder for the performance and observance
of all of the terms and conditions of this Indenture to the same extent as if
such lease or transfer had not occurred, and any such lease shall include
appropriate provisions for the maintenance (subject to clause (y) of the
proviso to Section 7(b)(ix) of this Article) and insurance of the Aircraft.
The Company shall not lease the Air-
45
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AA)
165
craft to an air carrier that at the inception of the lease is subject to
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceedings unless the lease shall have
been approved by the receiver, liquidator, conservator, court or other
governmental or administrative authority or entity responsible for the
adjudication or administration of such proceedings. No interchange agreement,
pooling agreement, lease or other relinquishment of possession of the Airframe
or any Engine shall in any way discharge or diminish any of the Company's
obligations to the Loan Trustee hereunder or under the Participation Agreement.
With the prior written consent of the Loan Trustee, the Company may sublease
the Airframe or Engines in connection with a transaction that involves such a
sublease commencing at the inception of the transaction. The Loan Trustee
hereby agrees, for the benefit of the lessor or secured party of any airframe
leased by the Company or owned by the Company subject to a conditional sale or
other security agreement, that the Loan Trustee will not acquire or claim, as
against such lessor or secured party, any right, title or interest in any
engine or engines owned 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 as the result of such engine or engines being installed on
the Airframe at any time while such engine or engines are subject to such lease
or conditional sale or other security agreement.
The Loan Trustee acknowledges that any "wet lease" or other similar
arrangement under which the Company maintains operational control of the
Aircraft shall not constitute a delivery, transfer or relinquishment of
possession for purposes of this Section 7(b).
(c) Insignia. The Company agrees to at all times maintain in the
cockpit of the Airframe adjacent to the airworthiness certificate therein and
(if not prevented by applicable law or regulations or by any governmental
authority) on each Engine a nameplate bearing the inscription "STATE STREET BANK
AND TRUST COMPANY OF CONNECTICUT, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, AS LOAN TRUSTEE,
MORTGAGEE" (such nameplate to be replaced, if necessary, with a nameplate
reflecting the name of any successor Loan Trustee).
Section 8. Replacement and Pooling of Parts; Alterations, Modifications
and Additions. (a) Replacement of Parts. The Company, at its own cost and
expense, will promptly replace all Parts which may from time to time be
incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or any Engine and which
may from time to time become worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized,
confiscated, damaged beyond
46
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AA)
166
repair or rendered permanently unfit for use for any reason whatsoever, except
as otherwise provided in Section 8(c) of this Article. In addition, the
Company may, at its own cost and expense, remove in the ordinary course of
maintenance, service, repair, overhaul or testing, any Parts, whether or not
worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair
or rendered permanently unfit for use; provided that the Company, except as
otherwise provided in Section 8(c) of this Article, will, at its own cost and
expense, replace such Parts as promptly as possible. All replacement Parts
shall be free and clear of all Liens (except for pooling arrangements to the
extent permitted by Section 8(b) of this Article and Permitted Liens) and shall
be in as good operating condition as, and shall have a value and utility at
least equal to, the Parts replaced, assuming such replaced Parts were in the
condition and repair required to be maintained by the terms hereof. All Parts
at any time removed from the Airframe or any Engine shall remain subject to the
Lien of this Indenture, no matter where located, until such time as such Parts
shall be replaced by Parts which have been incorporated or installed in or
attached to the Airframe or such Engine and which meet the requirements for
replacement Parts specified above. Immediately upon any replacement Part
becoming incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or any Engine
as above provided without further act, (i) title to the replaced Part shall
thereupon be free and clear of all rights of the Loan Trustee, and shall no
longer be deemed a Part hereunder, (ii) title to such replacement Part shall
thereupon be subject to the Lien of this Indenture, free and clear of all Liens
(except for Permitted Liens) and (iii) such replacement Part shall become
subject to this Indenture and be deemed part of the Airframe or such Engine for
all purposes to the same extent as the Parts originally incorporated or
installed in or attached to the Airframe or such Engine.
(b) Pooling of Parts. Any Part removed from the Airframe or any Engine
as provided in Section 8(a) of this Article may be subjected by the Company to a
normal pooling arrangement customary in the airline industry entered into in the
ordinary course of the Company's business with Permitted Air Carriers; provided
that the Part replacing such removed Part shall be incorporated or installed in
or attached to the Airframe or such Engine in accordance with Section 8(a) of
this Article as promptly as practicable 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 Section 8(a) of this Article,
may be owned by a Permitted Air
47
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AA)
167
Carrier subject to such a normal pooling arrangement; provided that the
Company, at its expense, as promptly thereafter as is practicable, either (i)
causes title to such replacement Part to vest in the Company free and clear of
all Liens except Permitted Liens, at which time such replacement Part shall, in
accordance with Section 8(a) of this Article, become a Part and become subject
to the Lien of this Indenture or (ii) replaces such replacement Part by
incorporating or installing in or attaching to the Airframe or such Engine a
further replacement Part owned by the Company free and clear of all Liens
(other than Permitted Liens), which shall without further act be subject to the
Lien of this Indenture.
(c) Alterations, Modifications and Additions. The Company, at its own
expense, will make such alterations and modifications in and additions to the
Airframe and the Engines as may be required from time to time to meet the
standards of the Federal Aviation Administration or other governmental authority
having jurisdiction in any country in or over which the Aircraft is flown,
provided, however, that the Company may, in good faith, contest the validity or
application of any such standard in any reasonable manner which does not
materially adversely affect the Loan Trustee or the Lien of this Indenture, but
only so long as such proceedings do not involve any material danger of criminal
liability or material danger of civil liability to the Loan Trustee, or a
material danger of the sale, forfeiture or loss of the Aircraft or any Engine or
any interest therein. In addition, the Company, at its own expense, may from
time to time make or cause to be made such alterations and modifications in and
additions to the Airframe or any Engine as the Company may deem desirable in the
proper conduct of its business, including, without limitation, removal of Parts;
provided that no such alterations, modification, additional or removal shall
materially diminish the value or utility of the Airframe or such Engine or of
the Aircraft, or materially impair the condition or airworthiness thereof, below
the value, utility, condition and airworthiness thereof immediately prior to
such alteration, modification, addition or removal assuming the Airframe or such
Engine was then of the value and utility and in the condition and airworthiness
required to be maintained by the terms of this Indenture, except that the value
(but not the utility, condition or airworthiness) of the Aircraft may be reduced
by the value of Parts which the Company deems obsolete or no longer suitable or
appropriate for use in the Airframe or any Engine which shall have been removed,
if the aggregate value of such obsolete or unsuitable Parts removed from the
Aircraft and not replaced shall not exceed $500,000. All Parts in-
48
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AA)
168
corporated or installed in or attached or added to the Airframe or any Engine
as the result of such alteration, modification or addition shall, without
further act, be subject to the Lien of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company may, at any time, remove any Part; 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 to the Airframe or
such Engine at the time of delivery thereof under the Lease or 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 or added to such
Airframe or Engine pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 8(c), and
(iii) such Part can be removed from the Airframe or such Engine without
materially diminishing or impairing the value, utility, condition or
airworthiness required to be maintained by the terms of this Indenture had such
removal not occurred. Upon the removal by the Company of any Part as provided
in the immediately preceding sentence, or the removal of any obsolete or
unsuitable part permitted by this Section 8(c), such Part shall no longer be
deemed part of the Airframe or the Engine from which it was removed and shall
no longer be subject to the Lien of this Indenture. Any such Part not removed
by the Company as provided in Section 8(c)(iii) of this Article shall remain
subject to the Lien of this Indenture.
Section 10. Loss, Destruction, Requisition, Etc. Event of Loss with
Respect to an Airframe. (a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Loss with respect
to the Airframe, the Company shall forthwith (and, in any event, within 30 days
after such occurrence) give the Loan Trustee written notice of such Event of
Loss and of its election to perform one of the following options (it being
agreed that if the Company shall not have given notice of such election within
such 30 days after such occurrence, the Company shall be deemed to have elected
to perform the option set forth in the following clause (ii)):
i. as promptly as practicable, and in any event on or before the
Business Day next preceding the 121st day next following the date of
occurrence of such Event of Loss, in replacement for the Airframe, the
Company shall convey or cause to be conveyed to the Loan Trustee a security
interest in and to one or more Replacement Airframes (together with the
same number of Replacement Engines as the Engines, if any, installed on the
Airframe at the time such Event of Loss occurred), such Replacement
Airframe and Replacement Engines to be duly certificated as airworthy by
the
49
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AA)
169
central aviation authority of the jurisdiction of the registry of such
Replacement Airframes and Engines, free and clear of all Liens (other than
Permitted Liens), to have a value and utility at least equal to, and to be
in as good operating condition as, the Airframe and Engines, if any, so
replaced (assuming such Airframe and Engines were in the condition and
repair required by the terms of this Indenture); provided that, if the
Company shall not perform its obligation to effect such replacement under
this clause (i) during the period of time provided herein, then the
Company shall promptly give notice to the Loan Trustee and shall pay on the
Business Day next following the thirtieth day after the end of such period
to the Loan Trustee, in U.S. currency, the amounts specified in clause (ii)
below; or
ii. on or before the Loss Payment Date (as defined below) the Company
shall pay to the Loan Trustee an amount in cash which is sufficient to
redeem each Outstanding Equipment Note pursuant to Section 6.01 of the
Indenture; provided that the Company may, to the extent provided and in
accordance with Section 3.08 hereof, surrender, to the Loan Trustee for
cancellation Equipment Notes held by the Company and in such event the
Company shall be entitled to a credit against amounts otherwise payable
pursuant to this clause (ii). As used herein, "Loss Payment Date" means the
earliest of (x) 30 days following the date on which insurance proceeds are
received with respect to such Event of Loss, (y) the Business Day next
following the 121st day next following the date of occurrence of the Event
of Loss and (z) an earlier Business Day irrevocably specified by the
Company at least thirty days in advance by notice to the Loan Trustee;
provided, however, the Loss Payment Date shall be the date specified in the
proviso to clause (i) above if applicable.
Upon compliance by the Company with the requirements of this Section 10(a)(ii),
the Loan Trustee shall execute such instruments as may be reasonably requested
by the Company releasing the Airframe and Engines from the Lien of this
Indenture and releasing the Purchase Agreement and the Purchase Agreement
Assignment from the assignment and pledge thereof hereunder.
At the time of or prior to any replacement of the Airframe and such
Engines pursuant to Section 10(a)(i) of this Article, if any, the Company, at
its own expense, will (A) cause a Trust Agreement and Indenture Supplement, sub-
50
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AA)
170
stantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto for such Replacement Airframe and
Replacement Engines, if any, to be delivered to the Loan Trustee for execution
and, upon such execution, to be filed for recordation pursuant to the Federal
Aviation Act or, if necessary, pursuant to the applicable laws of the
jurisdiction other than the United States of America in which such Replacement
Aircraft and Replacement Engines, if any, are to be registered in accordance
with Section 7(a) of this Article, as the case may be, (B) cause a financing
statement or statements with respect to the Replacement Airframe and
Replacement Engines, if any, or other requisite documents or instruments, to be
filed in such place or places as necessary or advisable in order to perfect the
security interest therein created by or pursuant to this Indenture, or, if
necessary or advisable, pursuant to the applicable laws of the jurisdiction in
which such Replacement Aircraft and Replacement Engines, if any, are to be
registered in accordance with Section 7(a) of this Article, as the case may be,
(C) furnish the Loan Trustee with a certificate of an independent aircraft
engineer or appraiser reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee certifying
that the Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, have a value and
utility at least equal to, and are in as good operating condition as, the
Airframe and Engines, if any, so replaced assuming the Airframe and Engines
were in the condition and repair required by the terms hereof immediately prior
to the occurrence of such Event of Loss, (D) furnish the Loan Trustee with (i)
such evidence of compliance with the insurance provisions of Section 11 of this
Article with respect to such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines as
the Loan Trustee may reasonably request and (ii) a certificate from a
Responsible Officer of the Company certifying that at the time of such
replacement, there is no continuing Indenture Event of Default, (E) furnish the
Loan Trustee with an opinion of the Company's counsel (which may be the
Company's General Counsel) addressed to the Loan Trustee that the substituted
property will be subject to the Lien of this Indenture and the Loan Trustee
should be entitled to the benefits of Section 1110 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended, with respect to the Replacement Airframe,
provided that (x) such opinion need not be delivered to the extent that the
benefits of such Section 1110 were not, by reason of a change in law or
governmental interpretation thereof, available to the Loan Trustee with respect
to the Aircraft immediately prior to such substitution and (y) such opinion may
contain qualifications of the tenor contained in the opinion of Debevoise &
Plimpton delivered pursuant to Section 4(J) of the Participation Agreement on
the Delivery Date. In the case of each Replacement Airframe and each
Replacement En-
51
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AA)
171
gine, if any, in which a security interest has been granted to the Loan Trustee
under this Section 10(a), and each Replacement Engine, if any, in which a
security interest has been granted to the Loan Trustee under this Section
10(a), promptly upon the recordation of the Trust Agreement and Indenture
Supplement covering such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any,
or such Replacement Engine pursuant to the Federal Aviation Act (or pursuant to
the applicable laws of the jurisdiction in which such Replacement Airframe and
Replacement Engines, if any, or such Replacement Engine, are registered in
accordance with Section 7(a) of this Article), the Company will cause to be
delivered to the Loan Trustee a favorable opinion of counsel to the Company as
to the due registration of such Replacement Aircraft, the due recordation of
such Trust Agreement and Indenture Supplement or other requisite documents or
instruments and the validity and perfection of the security interest in the
Replacement Airframe, Replacement Engines or Replacement Engine, as the case
may be, granted to the Loan Trustee under this Indenture.
For all purposes hereof, upon grant of a security interest therein to
the Loan Trustee, each Replacement Aircraft and the Replacement Engines, if any,
shall be deemed part of the property secured hereunder; each such Replacement
Airframe shall be deemed an "Airframe" as defined herein, and each such
Replacement Engine shall be deemed an "Engine" as defined herein. Upon full
compliance with the terms of the previous paragraph, the Loan Trustee shall
execute and deliver to the Company an appropriate instrument releasing such
replaced airframe and engines (if any) installed thereon at the time such Event
of Loss occurred from the Lien of this Indenture and releasing the Purchase
Agreement and the Purchase Agreement Assignment from the assignment and pledge
hereunder.
(b) Event of Loss with Respect to an Engine. Upon the occurrence of an
Event of Loss with respect to an Engine under circumstances in which there has
not occurred an Event of Loss with respect to the Airframe, the Company shall
give the Loan Trustee prompt written notice thereof and shall, within 90 days
after the occurrence of such Event of Loss, convey or cause to be conveyed to
the Loan Trustee, as replacement for the Engine with respect to which such Event
of Loss occurred, a security interest in and to a Replacement Engine free and
clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens) and having a value and utility
at least equal to, and being in as good operating condition as, the Engine with
respect to which such Event of Loss occurred, assuming such Engine was of the
value and utility and in the
52
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AA)
172
condition and repair required by the terms hereof immediately prior to the
occurrence of such Event of Loss. Prior to or at the time of any such
conveyance, the Company, at its own expense, will (i) cause a Trust Agreement
and Indenture Supplement substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto or other
requisite documents or instruments for such Replacement Engine to be delivered
to the Loan Trustee for execution and, upon such execution, to be filed for
recordation pursuant to the Federal Aviation Act or, if necessary, pursuant to
the applicable laws of such jurisdiction other than the United States of
America in which the Aircraft is or is to be registered in accordance with
Section 7(a), as the case may be, (ii) furnish the Loan Trustee with a
certificate of an aircraft engineer or appraiser (who may be an employee of the
Company) certifying that such Replacement Engine has a value and utility at
least equal to, and is in as good operating condition as, the Engine so
replaced, assuming such Engine was in the condition and repair required by the
terms hereof immediately prior to the occurrence of such Event of Loss and
(iii) cause a financing statement or statements with respect to the Replacement
Engine or other requisite documents or instruments to be filed in such place or
places necessary or advisable in order to perfect the security interest in the
Replacement Engine created by or pursuant to this Indenture, or, if necessary
or advisable, pursuant to the applicable laws of the jurisdiction in which the
Aircraft is or is to be registered in accordance with Section 7(a), as the case
may be, and (iv) furnish the Loan Trustee with such evidence of compliance with
the insurance provisions of Section 11 of this Article with respect to such
Replacement Engine as the Loan Trustee may reasonably request, and (v) furnish
the Loan Trustee with an opinion of the Company's counsel (which may be the
Company's General Counsel) addressed to the Loan Trustee to the effect that
such substituted property will be subjected to the Lien of this Indenture.
Upon full compliance by the Company with the terms of this paragraph (b), the
Loan Trustee will transfer to the Company, without recourse or warranty (except
as to the Trustee's Liens), all of Loan Trustee's right, title and interest in
and to the Engine with respect to which such Event of Loss occurred, and Loan
Trustee will assign to or as directed by the Company all claims of Loan Trustee
against third Persons relating to such Engine arising from such Event of Loss.
In addition, upon such transfer the Loan Trustee shall execute and deliver to
the Company an appropriate instrument releasing such Engine from the Lien of
this Indenture and releasing the Purchase Agreement and the Purchase Agreement
Assignment (in respect of such Engine) from the assignment and pledge under
this Indenture. For all purposes hereof, each
53
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AA)
173
such Replacement Engine shall, after such conveyance, be deemed part of the
property secured hereunder and shall be deemed an "Engine" as defined herein.
(c) Application of Payments from Governmental Authorities for
Requisition of Title or Use. Any payments (other than insurance proceeds the
application of which is provided for in Section 11 of this Article) received at
any time by the Loan Trustee or by the Company from any governmental authority
or other Person with respect to an Event of Loss resulting from the
condemnation, confiscation, theft or seizure of, or requisition of title to or
use of, the Airframe or any Engine, other than a requisition for use by any
Government or by the government of registry of the Aircraft not constituting an
Event of Loss, will be applied as follows:
(i) if such payments are received with respect to the Airframe or the
Airframe and the Engines or engines installed on the Airframe that has been
or is being replaced by the Company pursuant to Section 10(a) of this
Article, such payments shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Loan
Trustee, and upon completion of such replacement be paid over to, or
retained by, the Company;
(ii) if such payments are received with respect to the Airframe or the
Airframe and the Engines or engines installed on the Airframe that has not
been and will not be replaced pursuant to Section 10(a) of this Article,
such payments shall, after reimbursement of the Loan Trustee for costs and
expenses, be applied in reduction of the Company's obligation to pay the
amounts required to be paid by the Company pursuant to Section 10(a) of
this Article, if not already paid by the Company, or, if already paid by
the Company, shall be applied to reimburse the Company for its payment of
such amounts, and the balance, if any, of such payments remaining
thereafter shall be paid over to, and retained by, the Company; and
(iii) if such payments are received with respect to an Engine under
circumstances contemplated by Section 10(b) of this Article, so much of
such payments remaining after reimbursement of the Loan Trustee for costs
and expenses shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Company; provided
that the Company shall have fully performed the terms of Section 10(b) of
this Article with respect to the Event of Loss for which such payments are
made.
54
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AA)
174
(d) Requisition for Use by the Government of the Airframe and the
Engines Installed Thereon. In the event of the requisition for use by any
Government or by the government of the country of registry of the Aircraft
(including for this purpose any agency or instrumentality thereof), including,
without limitation, pursuant to the Civil Reserve Air Fleet Program referred to
in Section 7(b)(iv) of this Article of the Airframe and the Engines or engines
installed on the Airframe, the Company shall promptly notify the Loan Trustee of
such requisition and, except as otherwise provided in this Indenture, such
requisition shall not constitute an Event of Loss and all of the Company's
obligations under this Indenture with respect to the Aircraft shall continue to
the same extent as if such requisition had not occurred unless or until such
requisition shall constitute an Event of Loss. All payments received by the Loan
Trustee or the Company from the Government or government for the use of the
Airframe and Engines or engines prior to the occurrence of an Event of Loss
shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Company.
(e) Requisition for Use by the Government of an Engine. In the event of
the requisition for use by any Government or by the government of the country of
registry of the Aircraft (including for this purpose any agency or
instrumentality thereof) of any Engine (but not the Airframe), the Company will
replace such Engine hereunder by complying with the terms of Section 10(b) of
this Article to the same extent as if an Event of Loss had occurred with respect
to such Engine, and any payments received by the Loan Trustee or the Company
from such Government or government with respect to such requisition shall be
paid over to, or retained by, the Company.
(f) Application of Payments During Existence of Indenture Event of
Default. Any amount referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 10(c),
Section 10(d) or Section 10(e) of this Article which is payable to the Company
shall not be paid to the Company, or if it has been previously paid directly to
the Company, shall not be retained by the Company, if at the time of such
payment an Indenture Event of Default, or an Indenture Default which would
constitute an Indenture Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), 8.01(f),
8.01(g), 8.01(h) or 8.01(i), shall have occurred and be continuing, but shall be
paid to and held by the Loan Trustee as security for the obligations of the
Company under this Indenture, and at such time as there shall not be continuing
any such Indenture Event of Default or event, such amount shall be paid to the
Company, provided that, if any such amount has been so held by the Loan
55
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AA)
175
Trustee as security for more than 90 days after an Event of Default shall have
occurred and during which period (x) the Loan Trustee shall not have been
limited by operation of law or otherwise from exercising remedies hereunder and
(y) the Loan Trustee shall not have commenced to exercise any remedy available
to it under this Indenture, then such amount shall be paid to the Company.
Section 11. Insurance. Public Liability and Property Damage Insurance.
(a) Subject to the rights of the Company to establish and maintain
self-insurance with respect to public liability and property damage liability
insurance for aircraft and engines (including, the Aircraft and Engines) in the
manner and to the extent specified in the next sentence, the Company will carry,
or cause to be carried, at no expense to the Loan Trustee, any Bank Lender or
the Pass Through Trustee, public liability (including, without limitation,
contractual liability and passenger legal liability) and property damage
liability insurance (exclusive of manufacturer's product liability insurance)
with respect to the Aircraft (i) in amounts which are not less than the public
liability and property damage insurance applicable to similar aircraft and
engines which comprise the Company's fleet on which the Company carries
insurance, provided that such liability insurance shall not be less than the
amount certified to the Original Loan Participants on the Delivery Date, (ii) of
the type usually carried by corporations engaged in the same or similar
business, similarly situated with the Company, and owning or operating similar
aircraft and engines and covering risks of the kind customarily insured against
by the Company, and (iii) which is maintained in effect with insurers of
recognized responsibility. The Company may self-insure, by way of deductible or
premium adjustment provisions in insurance policies, the risks required to be
insured against pursuant to the preceding sentence, but in no case shall the
self-insurance (including, the self-insurance permitted by Section 11(b) of this
Article) with respect to all of the aircraft and engines in the Company's fleet
(including, without limitation, the Aircraft) exceed for any 12-month policy
year the lesser of (x) 50% of the largest replacement value of any single
aircraft in the Company's fleet or (y) 1-1/2% of the average aggregate insurable
value (for the preceding year) of all aircraft (including, without limitation,
the Aircraft) on which the Company carries insurance, provided that, in the
event that there shall have occurred a material adverse change in the financial
condition of the Company from such condition as is reflected in the consolidated
financial statements of the Company at December 31, 1982, then, upon not less
than 30 days' written notice from the Loan Trustee
56
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AA)
176
to the Company, the Company will, until the Company's financial condition is on
an overall basis equivalent to its financial condition at December 31, 1982,
reduce the self-insurance permitted hereunder to such reasonable amount as the
Loan Trustee may require; provided, further, that a deductible per occurrence
utilized to reduce handling that, in the case of the Aircraft, is not in excess
of the amount customarily allowed as a deductible in the industry, shall be
permitted in addition to the above-mentioned self-insurance. Any policies of
insurance carried in accordance with this Section 11(a) and any policies taken
out in substitution or replacement for any of such policies (A) shall name the
Loan Trustee, any Bank Lender or the Pass Through Trustee as additional
insureds as their respective interests may appear, (B) shall provide that in
respect of the respective interests of the Loan Trustee, any Bank Lender and
the Pass Through Trustee in such policies the insurance shall not be
invalidated by any action or inaction of the Company and shall insure the Loan
Trustee's, such Bank Lender's and the Pass Through Trustee's Interests as they
appear, regardless of any breach or violation of any warranty, declaration or
condition contained in such policies by the Company, (C) shall provide that, if
such insurance is cancelled for any reason whatever, or any substantial change
is made in the policy which affects the coverage certified hereunder to the
Loan Trustee, any Bank Lender or the Pass Through Trustee, or if such insurance
is allowed to lapse for nonpayment of premium, such cancellation, change or
lapse shall not be effective as to the Loan Trustee, such Bank Lender or the
Pass Through Trustee for 30 days (seven days, or such other period as is
customarily obtainable in the industry, in the case of any war risk and allied
perils coverage) after receipt by the Loan Trustee, such Bank Lender or the
Pass Through Trustee, respectively, of written notice from such insurers of
such cancellation, change or lapse, (D) shall provide that neither the Loan
Trustee, such Bank Lender nor the Pass Through Trustee shall have any
obligation or liability for premiums, commissions, assessments or calls in
connection with such insurance, (E) shall provide that the insurers shall waive
(i) any rights of set-off, counterclaim or any other deduction, whether by
attachment or otherwise, which they may have against the Loan Trustee, such
Bank Lender and the Pass Through Trustee and (ii) any rights of subrogation
against the Loan Trustee, such Bank Lender or the Pass Through Trustee to the
extent that the Company has waived its rights by its agreements to indemnify
any such party pursuant to this Indenture or the Participation Agreement;
provided that the exercise by such insurers of rights of subrogation derived
from the rights retained by the Company shall not, in any way, delay payment
57
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AA)
177
of any claim that would otherwise be payable by such insurers but for the
existence of rights of subrogation derived from rights retained by the Company,
(F) shall be primary without right of contribution from any other insurance
which may be carried by the Loan Trustee, any Bank Lender or the Pass Through
Trustee with respect to its Interests as such in the Aircraft and (G) shall
expressly provide that all of the provisions thereof, except the limits of
liability, shall operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy
covering each insured. "Interests" as used in this Section 11(a) and Section
11(b) of this Article with respect to any person means the interests of such
person in its capacity as Loan Trustee or Pass Through Trustee, as the case may
be, in the transaction contemplated by the Participation Agreement and this
Indenture. The Company shall arrange for appropriate certification that the
requirements of this Section 11(a) have been met to be made to the Loan Trustee
(and the Loan Trustee may furnish such certificates to each Loan Participant)
as soon as practicable by each insurer or its authorized representative with
respect thereto, provided that all information contained therein shall be held
confidential by the Loan Trustee and each Loan Participant and shall not be
furnished or disclosed by them to anyone other than their bank examiners,
auditors, accountants, agents and legal counsel and any Person with whom any
Loan Participant is in good faith conducting negotiations relating to the
possible transfer and sale of such Loan Participant's Equipment Notes, if such
person shall have entered into an agreement similar to that contained in this
Section 11(a) whereby such person agrees to hold such information confidential,
and except as may be required by an order of any court or administrative agency
or by any statute, rule, regulation or order of any governmental authority. In
the case of a lease or contract with any Government in respect of the Aircraft
or any Engine or in the case of any requisition for use of the Aircraft or any
Engine by any Government, a valid agreement, reasonably satisfactory to the
Loan Trustee, to indemnify the Company against any of the risks which the
Company is required hereunder to insure against by such Government shall be
considered adequate insurance to the extent of the risks and in the amounts
that are the subject of any such agreement to indemnify.
(b) Insurance Against Loss or Damage to Aircraft. Subject to the rights
of the Company to establish and maintain self-insurance with respect to loss or
damage to aircraft (including the Aircraft) in the manner and to the extent
specified in the next sentence, the Company shall maintain, or cause to be
maintained, in effect with insurers
58
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AA)
178
of recognized responsibility, at no expense to the Loan Trustee, any Bank
Lender or the Pass Through Trustee, all-risk aircraft hull insurance covering
the Aircraft and all-risk coverage with respect to any Engines or parts while
removed from the Aircraft (including, without limitation, war risk and allied
perils insurance if and to the extent the same is maintained by the Company or
any Permitted Air Carrier leasing the same with respect to other aircraft owned
or operated by the Company or such Permitted Air Carrier, as the case may be,
on the same routes) which is of the type and in substantially the amount
usually carried by corporations engaged in the same or similar business and
similarly situated with the Company; provided that (i) such insurance
(including the permitted self-insurance) shall at all times while the Aircraft
is subject to the Lien of this Indenture be for an amount not less than, at the
date of determination thereof, the Outstanding principal amount of the
Equipment Notes plus six months interest thereon and (ii) such insurance need
not cover an Engine while attached to an airframe not owned, leased or operated
by the Company. The Company may self-insure, by way of deductible or premium
adjustment provisions in insurance policies, the risks required to be insured
against pursuant to the preceding sentence, but in no case shall the
self-insurance (including the self- insurance permitted by Section 11(a) of
this Article) with respect to all of the aircraft and engines in the Company's
fleet (including, without limitation, the Aircraft) exceed for any 12-month
policy year the lesser of (i) 50% of the largest replacement value of any
single aircraft in the Company's fleet of (ii) 1-1/2% of the average aggregate
insurable value (for the preceding year) of all aircraft (including, without
limitation, the Aircraft) on which the Company carries insurance; provided
that, in the event that there shall have occurred a material adverse change in
the financial condition of the Company from such condition as is reflected in
the consolidated financial statements of the Company at December 31, 1982,
then, upon not less than 30 days' written notice from the Loan Trustee to the
Company, the Company will, until the Company's financial condition is on an
overall basis equivalent to its financial condition at December 31, 1982,
reduce the self-insurance permitted hereunder to such reasonable amount as the
Loan Trustee may require; provided, further, that a deductible per occurrence
utilized to reduce handling, that, in the case of the Aircraft, is not in
excess of the amount customarily allowed as a deductible in the industry, shall
be permitted in addition to the above-mentioned self-insurance. Any policies
carried in accordance with this Section 11(b) and any policies taken out in
substitution or replacement for any such policies (A) shall provided that any
loss up to
59
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AA)
179
the amount equal to the Outstanding principal amount of the Equipment Notes
plus accrued interest thereon, for any loss or damage constituting an Event of
Loss with respect to the Aircraft, and any loss in excess of $7,000,000, up to
the amount equal to the Outstanding principal amount of the Equipment Notes
plus accrued interest thereon, for any loss or damage to the Aircraft (or
Engines) not constituting an Event of Loss with respect to the Aircraft, shall
be paid to the Loan Trustee as long as this Indenture shall not have been
discharged pursuant to the terms and conditions thereof, and thereafter to the
Company, unless, in each case, the insurer shall have received notice that an
Indenture Event of Default exists, in which case all insurance proceeds up to
an amount equal to the Outstanding principal amount of the Equipment Notes plus
accrued interest thereon shall be payable to the Loan Trustee, (B) shall
provide that in respect of the respective interests of the Loan Trustee, any
Bank Lender and of the Pass Through Trustee in such policies the insurance
shall not be invalidated by any action or inaction of the Company and shall
insure the Loan Trustee's, any Bank Lender's and the Pass Through Trustee's
Interests, as they appear, regardless of any breach or violation of any
warranty, declaration or condition contained in such policies by the Company,
(C) shall provide that, if such insurance is cancelled for any reason whatever,
or any material change is made in the policy which affects the coverage
certified hereunder to the Loan Trustee, any Bank Lender and the Pass Through
Trustee, or if such insurance is allowed to lapse for nonpayment of premium,
such cancellation, change or lapse shall not be effective as to the Loan
Trustee, any Bank Lender or the Pass Through Trustee, for 30 days (seven days,
or such other period as may from time to time be customarily obtainable if the
industry, in the case of any war risk and allied perils coverage) after receipt
by the Loan Trustee, such Bank Lender or the Pass Through Trustee,
respectively, of written notice from such insurers of such cancellation, change
or lapse, (D) shall be primary without right of contribution from any other
insurance which may be carried by the Loan Trustee, any Bank Lender and the
Pass Through Trustee with respect to the Interests as such in the Aircraft and
(E) shall provide that the insurers shall waive (i) any rights of set-off,
counterclaim or any other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, which
they may have against the Loan Trustee, such Bank Lender or the Pass Through
Trustee and (ii) any rights of subrogation against the Loan Trustee, any Bank
Lender or the Pass Through Trustee to the extent that the Company has waived
its rights by its agreements to indemnify any such party pursuant to this
indenture or the Participation Agreement; provided that the exercise by such
insurers of rights of
60
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AA)
180
subrogation derived from rights retained by the Company shall not, in any way,
delay payment of any claim that would otherwise be payable by such insurers but
for the existence of rights of subrogation derived from rights retained by the
Company. The Company shall arrange for appropriate certification that the
requirements of this Section 11(b) have been met to be made promptly to the
Loan Trustee (and the Loan Trustee shall furnish such certification to each
Loan Participant) by each insurer or its authorized representative with respect
thereto, provided that all information contained therein shall be held
confidential by the Loan Trustee and each Loan Participant and shall not be
furnished or disclosed by them to anyone other than their bank examiners,
auditors, accountants, agents and legal counsel and any person with whom any
Loan Participant is in good faith conducting negotiations relating to the
possible transfer and sale of such Loan Participant's Equipment Notes, if such
person shall have entered into an agreement similar to that contained in
Section 11(b) whereby such Person agrees to hold such information confidential,
and except as may be required by an order of any court or administrative agency
or by any statute, rule, regulation or order of any governmental authority. In
the case of a lease or contract with any Government in respect of the Aircraft
or any Engine, or in the case of any requisition for use of the Aircraft or any
Engine by any Government, a valid agreement, reasonably satisfactory to the
Loan Trustee, to indemnify the Company against any of the risks which the
Company is required hereunder to insure against by such Government in an
amount, as at the date of determination thereof, equal to the Outstanding
principal amount of the Equipment Notes plus six months interest thereon from
time to time shall be considered adequate insurance to the extent of the risks
and in the amounts that are the subject of any such agreement to indemnify.
As between the Loan Trustee and the Company, it is agreed that all
insurance payments received under policies required to be maintained by the
Company hereunder, exclusive of any payments received in excess of an amount, as
at the date of determination thereof, equal to the Outstanding principal amount
of the Equipment Notes plus accrued interest thereon from such policies, as the
result of the occurrence of an Event of Loss with respect to the Airframe or an
Engine will be applied as follows:
(x) if such payments are received with respect to the Airframe or the
Airframe and any Engines or engines installed on the Airframe that has been
or is being replaced by the Company as contemplated by Sec-
61
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AA)
181
tion 10(a) of this Article, such payments shall be paid over to, or
retained by, the Loan Trustee, and upon completion of such replacement be
paid over to, or retained by, the Company;
(y) if such payments are received with respect to the Airframe or the
Airframe and any Engines or engines installed thereon that has not been and
will not be replaced as contemplated by Section 10(a) of this Article, so
much of such payments remaining after reimbursement of the Loan Trustee for
costs and expenses as shall not exceed an amount, as at the date of
determination thereof, equal to the Outstanding principal amount of the
Equipment Notes plus accrued interest thereon required to be paid by the
Company pursuant to Section 10(a) of this Article shall be applied in
reduction of the Company's obligation to pay such amount equal to the
Outstanding principal amount of the Equipment Notes plus accrued interest
thereon, if not already paid by the Company, or, if already paid by the
Company, shall be applied to reimburse the Company for its payment of such
amount equal to the Outstanding principal amount of the Equipment Notes
plus accrued interest thereon, and the balance, if any, of such payment
remaining thereafter will be paid over to, or retained by, the Company; and
(z) if such payments are received with respect to an Engine under the
circumstances contemplated by Section 10(b) of this Article, so much of the
such payments remaining after reimbursement of the Loan Trustee for costs
and expenses shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Company; provided
that the Company shall have fully performed the terms of Section 10(b) of
this Article with respect to the Event of Loss for which such payments are
made.
As between the Loan Trustee and the Company the insurance payment of
any property damage loss in excess of an amount equal to the Outstanding
principal amount of the Equipment Notes plus accrued interest thereon shall be
paid to the Company.
As between the Loan Trustee and the Company the insurance payment of
any property damage loss not constituting an Event of Loss with respect to the
Airframe or an Engine will be applied in payment (or to reimburse the Company)
for repairs or for replacement property in accordance with the terms of Sections
7 and 8 of this Article, and any balance remaining after compliance with such
Sections with
62
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AA)
182
respect to such loss shall be paid to the Company. Any amount referred to in
the preceding sentence or in clause (x), (y) or (z) of the second preceding
paragraph which is payable to the Company shall not be paid to the Company or,
if it has been previously paid directly to the Company, shall not be retained
by the Company, if at the time of such payment an Indenture Event of Default
(or an Indenture Default that with lapse of time would constitute an Indenture
Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), 8.01(f) 8.01(g) 8.01(h) 8.01(i) of this
Indenture) shall have occurred and be continuing, but shall be paid to and held
by the Loan Trustee, as security for the obligations of the Company under this
Indenture, and at such time as there shall not be continuing any such Indenture
Event of Default or event, such amount shall be paid to the Company, provided
that is any such amount has been so held by the Loan Trustee as security for
more than 90 days after an Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred and
during which period (i) the Loan Trustee shall not have been limited by
operation of law or otherwise from exercising remedies hereunder and (ii) the
Loan Trustee shall not have exercised any remedy available to it under Section
15 of this Article, then such amount shall be paid to the Company.
(c) Reports, Etc. Annually upon renewal of the Company's insurance
coverage, the Company will furnish to the Loan Trustee (and the Loan Trustee
shall furnish to each Loan Participant) a report signed by a firm of independent
aircraft insurance brokers appointed by the Company, stating the opinion of such
firm that the insurance then carried and maintained on the Aircraft complies
with the terms hereof; provided that all information contained in such report
shall be held confidential by the Loan Trustee and each Loan Participant and
shall not be furnished or disclosed by them to anyone other than their bank
examiners, auditors, accountants, agents and legal counsel and any Person with
whom any Loan Participants is in good faith conducting negotiations relating to
the possible transfer and sale of such Loan Participant's Equipment Notes, if
such Person shall have entered into an agreement similar to that contained in
this Section 11(c) whereby such Person agrees to hold such information
confidential, and except as may be required by an order of any court or
administrative agency or by any statute, rule, regulation or order of any
governmental authority. The Company will cause such firm to advise the Loan
Trustee, any Bank Lender or the Pass Through Trustee, in writing promptly of any
default in the payment of any premium and of any other act or omission on the
part of the Company of which such firm has knowledge and which might invalidate
or render unenforceable, in whole or in part, any
63
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AA)
183
insurance on the Aircraft. The Company will also cause such firm to advise the
Loan Trustee, any Bank Lender and the Pass Through Trustee, in writing as
promptly as practicable after such firm acquires knowledge that an interruption
or reduction of any insurance carried and maintained on the Aircraft pursuant
to the provisions of this Section 11 will occur.
(d) Insurance for Own Account. Nothing in this Section 11 shall limit
or prohibit the Loan Trustee or the Company from obtaining insurance for its own
account with respect to the Airframe or any Engine and any proceeds payable
thereunder shall be payable as provided in the insurance policy relating
thereto, provided that (i) no such insurance may be obtained which would limit
or otherwise adversely affect the coverage or amounts payable under insurance
required to be maintained pursuant to this Section 11, it being understood that
all salvage rights to the Airframe or such Engine shall remain with the
Company's insurers at all times, and (ii) the Loan Trustee may obtain hull
insurance on the Aircraft only to the extent the procurement of such insurance
does not have an adverse effect on the Company's ability or cost to obtain such
insurance, except that the limitation in the foregoing clause (i) on the Loan
Trustee's right to obtain liability insurance shall not apply during any period
in which the Company is providing a Government indemnity in lieu of the
liability insurance required by Section 11(a) of this Article and the
limitations in clauses (i) and (ii) on the Loan Trustee's rights to obtain hull
insurance shall not apply during any period in which the Company is providing a
Government indemnity in lieu of the hull insurance required by Section 11(b) of
this Article.
Section 12. Inspection. At all reasonable times so long as any
Equipment Notes are outstanding, but upon at least 5 days' prior written notice
to the Company, the Loan Trustee, the Initial Bank Lender, the Pass Through
Trustee or their authorized representatives may at their own expense and risk
(including without limitation, any risk of personal injury or death) conduct a
visual walk-around inspection of the Aircraft and any Engine and may inspect the
books and records of the Company relating thereto; provided that (a) such
representative shall be fully insured to the reasonable satisfaction of the
Company at no cost to the Company with respect to any risks incurred in
connection with any such inspection, (b) any such inspection shall be subject to
the safety, security and workplace rules applicable at the location where such
inspection is conducted and any applicable governmental rules or regulations and
(c) in the case of an
64
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AA)
184
inspection during a maintenance visit, such inspection shall not in any respect
interfere with the normal conduct of such maintenance visit or extend the time
required for such maintenance visit. All information obtained in connection
with any such inspection shall be held confidential by the Loan Trustee and
each Loan Participant and shall not be furnished or disclosed by them to anyone
other than their accountants, agents and legal counsel and any Person with whom
any such Loan Participant is in good faith conducting negotiations relating to
the possible transfer and sale of such Loan Participant's Equipment Notes if
such Person shall have entered into an agreement similar to that contained in
this Section 12 whereby such Person agrees to hold such information
confidential, and except as may be required by an order or administrative
agency or by any statute, rule, regulation or order of any governmental
authority. Upon the Loan Trustee's request, the Company will notify the Loan
Trustee of the next scheduled "heavy maintenance" visit to be conducted by the
Company in respect of the Aircraft; provided that the Company shall have the
right in its sole discretion to reschedule, or change the location of, any
maintenance visit of which it shall have notified the Loan Trustee pursuant to
this sentence, the Company hereby agreeing to use reasonable efforts to notify
the Loan Trustee of any such rescheduling or change. The Loan Trustee shall
not have any duty to make such inspection and shall not incur any liability or
obligation by reason of not making any such inspection. No inspection pursuant
to this Section 12 shall interfere with the use, operation or maintenance of
the Aircraft or the normal conduct of the Company's business, and the Company
shall not be required to undertake or incur any additional liabilities in
connection therewith.
Section 17. Further Assurances; Financial Information. Forthwith upon
the execution and delivery of each Trust Agreement and Indenture Supplement, the
Company will cause such Trust Agreement and Indenture Supplement to be duly
filed and recorded in accordance with the Federal Aviation Act. In addition, the
Company and the Loan Trustee will promptly and duly execute and deliver to the
other party hereto such further documents and assurances and take such further
action as such other party may from time to time reasonably request in order to
effectively carry out the intent and purpose of this Indenture, including,
without limitation, if requested by the Loan Trustee, the execution and delivery
of supplements or amendments hereto, in recordable form, subjecting to this
Indenture any Replacement Airframe or Replacement Engine and the recording or
filing of counterparts hereof or thereof, in accordance with the laws of such
jurisdictions as the Loan Trustee may from time
65
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AA)
185
to time deem advisable; provided that this sentence is not intended to impose
upon the Company any additional liabilities not otherwise contemplated by this
Indenture. The Company agrees to furnish the Loan Trustee (i) within 60 days
after the end of each of the first three quarterly fiscal periods in each
fiscal year of the Company, a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its
consolidated subsidiaries prepared by it as of the close of such period,
together with the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows for
such period, (ii) within 120 days after the close of each fiscal year of the
Company, a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its consolidated
subsidiaries as of the close of such fiscal year, together with the related
consolidated statements of income and cash flows for such fiscal year, as
certified by independent public accountants, (iii) within 120 days after the
close of each fiscal year of the Company, a certificate of the Company signed
by a Responsible Officer of the Company and addressed to the Loan Trustee to
the effect that the signer has reviewed the relevant terms of this Indenture
and the Participation Agreement and has made, or caused to be made under his
supervision, a review of the transactions and condition of the Company during
the accounting period covered by the financial statements referred to in clause
(ii) above, and that such review has not disclosed the existence during such
accounting period, nor does the signer have knowledge of the existence as at
the date of such certificate, of any condition or event which constitutes an
Indenture Event of Default or which, after notice or lapse of time or both,
would constitute an Indenture 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 Company has taken or is taking or proposes to take with
respect thereto, and (iv) from time to time such other non-confidential
information as the Loan Trustee may reasonably request.
Section 24. Maintenance of Certain Engines. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, an aircraft engine which is not an Engine, but
which is installed on the Airframe, shall be maintained in accordance with
Section 7(a) of this Article.
Section 27. Company's Performance and Rights. Any obligation imposed on
the Company pursuant to Sections 7, 8, 11, 12 and 24 of this Article shall
require only that the Company perform or cause to be performed such obligation,
even if stated herein as a direct obligation, and the performance of any such
obligation by any permitted assignee, lessee or transferee under an assignment,
lease or transfer agreement then in effect shall constitute perfor-
66
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AA)
186
mance by the Company and to the extent of such performance, discharge such
obligation by the Company. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any
right granted to the Company in this Indenture shall grant the Company the
right to exercise such right or permit such right to be exercised by any such
assignee, lessee or transferee; provided that no such assignee, lessee or
transferee shall be permitted to exercise the self-insurance rights of the
Company set forth in Section 11 of this Article. The inclusion of specific
references to obligations or rights of any such assignee, lessee or transferee
in certain provisions of this Indenture shall not in any way prevent or
diminish the application of the provisions of the two sentences immediately
preceding with respect to obligations or rights in respect of which specific
reference to any such assignee, lessee or transferee has not been made in this
Indenture.
Section 28. Statement of Intention. The Loan Trustee, the Company and
the Owner Trustee acknowledge that the intent of the provisions contained in
this Article 15 is, following the termination of the Lease pursuant to Section
9(e), 9(f) or 20(b) thereof, to provide for the Loan Trustee to have rights
similar to those enjoyed by the Owner Trustee under the Lease and for the
Company to have rights similar to those enjoyed by it under the Lease. The Loan
Trustee and the Company hereby agree that this Article 15 shall be construed and
interpreted in a manner consistent with the intent expressed in this Section 28.

or liabilities of the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity incurred on or

the responsibility of the Owner Trustee).
The Company confirms and ratifies the security interest which the Owner
Trustee granted to the Loan Trustee pursuant to the Granting Clause of this
Indenture in all of the Owner Trustee's right, title and interest in the
Aircraft and its interest in the Purchase Agreement (to the extent assigned to
the Owner Trustee pursuant to the Purchase Agreement Assignment) and the Company

security interest, which shall remain in full force and effect until this
Indenture is discharged in accordance with the terms hereof, and the Loan
Trustee acknowledges that the Lease and the obligations of the Company hereunder
as Company have been terminated, except as specifically provided for therein,

(Series AB)

exchange of Equipment Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Owner Trustee,
evidencing the same obligations, and entitled to the same security and benefits
under this Agreement, as the Equipment Notes surrendered upon such registration
of transfer or exchange.
Every Equipment Note presented or surrendered for registration of

exchange of Equipment Notes.

amended (each an "ERISA Plan") or by any other entity whose assets constitute
assets of an ERISA Plan unless one of the Underwriter Exemptions (as defined

constitutes a representation by such Person to the Company, the Owner
Participant, the Owner Trustee and the Loan Trustee that either (i) such Person
is not an ERISA Plan and that such Person is not acquiring, and has not
acquired, such Equipment Note with assets of an ERISA Plan or (ii) one of the

Section 2.05. Loan Participant Lists; Ownership of Equipment Notes.
(a) The Loan Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably
practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of

replacement thereof, a new Equipment Note of the same type, having the same
Maturity Date, payable to the same Loan Participant in the same principal amount
and dated the same date as the Equipment Note so mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen. If the Equipment Note being replaced has become mutilated, such
Equipment Note shall be surrendered to the Loan Trustee. If the Equipment Note
being replaced has been destroyed, lost or stolen, the related Loan Participant
shall furnish to the Owner Trustee and the Loan Trustee such security or
indemnity as may be required by each of them to save the Owner Trustee and the
Loan Trustee harmless (it being understood
27
(Series AB)
34
that an unsecured undertaking to indemnify each such party delivered in writing
and in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Loan Trustee
by the Initial Bank Lender shall satisfy such requirement) and evidence
satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Loan Trustee of the destruction, loss
or theft of such Equipment Note and of the ownership thereof.
Section 2.07. Cancellation. The Registrar and any Paying Agent

manner (by wire transfer of immediately available funds if not otherwise
specified) as specified in Schedule I to the Refunding Agreement or as each Bank
Lender shall have otherwise designated in writing to the Loan Trustee on or
prior to such Record Date; provided, however, that, in the case of Pass Through
Equipment Notes, the Paying Agent will, at the request of the Loan Trustee, and
may, at its option, pay such interest or Installment Payment Amounts by check
mailed to such Loan Participant's address as it appears on the Register. The
Paying Agent shall cause each payment to the Bank Lenders to be made by 4:00 pm
on the day the Paying Agent receives such payment, provided such payment is

place and time specified, Paying Agent, in is individual capacity

sums due and payable to such Loan Participant hereunder, under such Equipment
Notes, under the Participation Agreement and under the Refunding Agreement shall
have been paid in full.
(b) Any Installment Payment Amount payable on an Installment Payment
Date, or any interest payable on an Interest Payment Date on any Equipment Note
which is not punctually paid on, or within 5 days after, such Installment
Payment Date or such Interest Payment Date, as the case may be (herein called,
respectively, a "Defaulted Installment" and "Defaulted Interest"), shall
forthwith cease to be payable to the Loan Participant on the relevant Record
Date by virtue of its having been such Loan Participant; and such Defaulted
Installment or Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Loan Trustee, at its
election in each case, as provided, in the case of the Pass Through Equipment
Notes, in clause (1) or (2) below and, in the case of Bank Equipment Notes, in

such Defaulted Installment or Defaulted Interest as this clause provides
and shall fix a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted
Installment or Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and
not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment. The Loan
Trustee shall promptly notify the Owner Trustee and the Registrar of such

are registered on such special record date and shall no longer be payable
pursuant to the following clause (2).
(2) The Loan Trustee may make, or cause to be made, payment of any
Defaulted Installment or Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not

required by such exchange, if such payment shall be deemed practicable by
the Loan Trustee.
(3) In the case of a Bank Equipment Note, the Loan Trustee may elect

or any other amount payable to the Loan Participants hereunder or under any
other Operative Document, and shall give to the Loan Trustee notice of any
default by any obligor upon the Equipment Notes in the making of any such
payment upon the Equipment Notes. The Loan Trustee at any time may require a
Paying Agent to repay to the Loan Trustee all money held by it. Upon so doing
the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money so paid.
Section 2.09. Payment from Indenture Estate Only; Non-Recourse
Obligations. Notwithstanding any other provision herein or in the Equipment

acceptance of such Equipment Note, agrees that (a) it will look solely to the
income and proceeds of the Indenture Estate for the payment of such amounts, to

the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant or the Loan Trustee is or shall be
personally liable to any Loan Participant for any amount payable under such
Equipment Note or this Agreement or, except as expressly provided in this
Agreement in the case of the Owner Trustee and the Loan Trustee, for any
liability thereunder or hereunder.
Wilmington Trust Company is entering into this Agreement solely as
Owner Trustee under the Trust Agreement and not in its individual capacity, and
in no case whatsoever shall Wilmington Trust Company (or any entity acting as

any loss in respect of, any statements, representations, warranties, agreements
or obligations hereunder or thereunder; provided that Wilmington Trust Company
shall be liable hereunder in its individual capacity, (i) for the performance of

38
agreements undertaken in its individual capacity under Section 9 of the

computed as of the date of distribution pursuant to this clause "sixth"

Breakage Loss, if any; and in case the aggregate amount remaining shall be
insufficient to pay all such amounts in full, such amount shall be
distributed ratably without priority of any Bank Lender over any other
Bank Lender, in the proportion that the aggregate amount due to each such
Bank Lender bears to the aggregate amount due all such Bank Lenders under
this clause "seventh"; and
eighth, so much of such payments or amounts remaining thereafter
shall be distributed to the Owner Trustee to be held or distributed in
accordance with the provisions of the Trust Agreement, so long as no
Indenture Event of Default exists other than by virtue of such Lease Event
of Default.

affecting the rights of creditors generally and by general principles
of equity, and except as limited by applicable laws which may affect
the remedies provided in the Lease and this Agreement, respectively,
which laws, however, do not in the opinion of such counsel make the
remedies provided in the Lease and this Agreement, respectively,
inadequate for the practical realization of the rights and benefits
provided thereby;
(d) the Loan Trustee shall have received assurances reasonably
satisfactory to it that the insurance provisions of the Lease will have

to the Company, the Owner Participant and the Owner Trustee, or Loan
Participants owning at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of Outstanding
Equipment Notes by notice to the Company, the Loan Trustee, the Owner Trustee
and the Owner Participant, may declare the principal of all the Equipment Notes

Notes, together with accrued interest thereon from the date in respect of which
interest was last paid hereunder to the date payment of such principal has been
made or duly provided for shall be immediately due and payable, together with
Swap Breakage Loss, if any, on the Bank Equipment Notes. At any time after such
declaration and prior to the sale or disposition of the Indenture Estate, Loan
Participants owning a majority in aggregate principal amount of all of the
Outstanding Equipment Notes, by notice to the Loan Trustee, the Owner Trustee
and the Owner Participant, may rescind such a declaration and thereby annul its
consequences if (i) an amount sufficient to pay all principal of, Make-Whole
Amount, if any, and Swap Breakage Loss, if any, and interest on, such Equipment
Notes, to the extent each such amount is due or past due, if any, in respect of
the Outstanding Equipment Notes other than by reason of such acceleration and
all sums due and payable to the Loan Trustee has been deposited with the Loan
Trustee, (ii) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and
(iii) all existing Indenture Defaults and Indenture Events of Default under this
Agreement have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal of, Swap
Breakage Loss, if any, or interest on the Equipment Notes that has become due
solely because of such acceleration. No Make-Whole Amount shall be payable on
the Pass Through Equipment Notes as a result of the acceleration of the
Equipment Notes.
Section 8.03. Other Remedies Available to Loan Trustee. (a) After
an Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred and so long as such Indenture
Event of Default shall be continuing, then and in every such case the Loan
53
(Series AB)
60
Trustee, as trustee of an express trust and as assignee hereunder of the Lease
or as holder of a security interest in the Aircraft, Airframe or Engines or
otherwise, may, and when required pursuant to the provisions of Article 9 shall,
exercise subject to Sections 8.03(b), 8.03(e), 8.03(f) and 8.03(h), upon ten
(10) Business days' prior notice to the Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant
(if not precluded by law or otherwise) any or all of the rights and powers and
pursue any and all of the remedies accorded to the Owner Trustee pursuant to
this Article 8 (and in the event that such Indenture Event of Default is also a
Lease Event of Default, pursuant to Section 15 of the Lease), may recover
judgment in its own name as Loan Trustee against the Indenture Estate and may
take possession of all or any part of the Indenture Estate and may exclude the
Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant and all persons claiming under any of
them wholly or partly.
(b) After an Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred and so
long as such Indenture Event of Default shall be continuing, subject to Sections
8.03(e), 8.03(f) and 8.03(h), the Loan Trustee may, if at the time such action
may be lawful and always subject to compliance with any mandatory legal
requirements, either with or without taking possession, and either before or
after taking possession, and without instituting any legal proceedings
whatsoever, and having first given notice of such sale by registered mail to the
Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant and the Company once at least 10 Business
Days prior to the date of such sale, and any other notice which may be required
by law, sell and dispose of the Indenture Estate, or any part thereof, or
interest therein, at public auction to the highest bidder, in one lot as an
entirety or in separate lots, and either for cash or on credit and on such terms
as the Loan Trustee may determine, and at any place (whether or not it be the
location of the Indenture Estate or any part thereof) and time designated in the
notice above referred to; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any provision
herein to the contrary, the Loan Trustee may not provide the notice provided for
above of its intention to sell any of the Indenture Estate, exercise remedies
under the Lease or exercise other remedies against the Indenture Estate, in each
case seeking to deprive the Owner Participant of its interest therein unless a
declaration of acceleration has been made pursuant to Section 8.02. Any such
sale or sales may be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and
place appointed for such sale or sales, or by announcement at the time and place
appointed for any such adjourned sale or sales, without further notice, and the
54
(Series AB)
61
Loan Trustee and any Loan Participant may bid and become the purchaser at any
such sale. The Loan Trustee may exercise such right without possession or
production of the Equipment Notes or proof of ownership thereof, and as
representative of the Loan Participants may exercise such right without notice
to the Loan Participants or including the Loan Participants as parties to any
suit or proceeding relating to foreclosure of any property in the Indenture
Estate. The Owner Trustee hereby irrevocably constitutes the Loan Trustee the
true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the Owner Trustee (in the name of the Owner
Trustee or otherwise) for the purpose of effectuating any sale, assignment,
transfer or delivery for enforcement of the Lien created under this Agreement,
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 Loan
Trustee may consider necessary or appropriate, with full power of substitution,
the Owner Trustee hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney or any
substitute shall lawfully do by virtue hereof. Nevertheless, if so requested by
the Loan Trustee or any purchaser, the Owner Trustee shall ratify and confirm
any such sale, assignment, transfer or delivery, by executing and delivering to
the Loan 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.
(c) Subject to Sections 8.03(b), 8.03(e), 8.03(f) and 8.03(h), if an
Indenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Owner Trustee
shall, at the request of the Loan Trustee, promptly execute and deliver to the
Loan Trustee such instruments of title or other documents as the Loan Trustee
may deem necessary or advisable to enable the Loan Trustee or an agent or
representative designated by the Loan Trustee, at such time or times and place
or places as the Loan Trustee may specify, to obtain possession of all or any
part of the Indenture Estate. If the Owner Trustee shall for any reason fail to
execute and deliver such instruments and documents after such request by the
Loan Trustee, the Loan Trustee shall be entitled to a judgment for specific
performance of the covenants contained in the foregoing sentence, conferring
upon the Loan Trustee the right to immediate possession and requiring the Owner
Trustee or the Company or both to execute and deliver such instruments and
documents to the Loan Trustee. The Loan Trustee shall also be entitled to
pursue all or any part of the Indenture Estate wherever it may be found and may
enter any of the premises of the Owner Trustee or any other Person wherever the
Indenture Estate may be or be supposed to be
55
(Series AB)
62
and search for the Indenture Estate and take possession of any item of the
Indenture Estate pursuant to this Section 8.03(c). The Loan 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 Loan Trustee shall have the right to use, operate, store, lease,
control or manage the Indenture Estate, and to exercise all rights and powers of
the Owner Trustee relating to the Indenture Estate as the Loan Trustee shall
deem appropriate, including the right to enter into any and all such agreements
with respect to the use, operation, storage, leasing, control or management of
the Indenture Estate or any part thereof; and the Loan Trustee shall be entitled
to collect and receive directly all tolls, rents (including Rent), issues,
profits, products, revenues and other income of the Indenture Estate and every
part thereof, without prejudice, however, to the right of the Loan Trustee under
any provision of this Agreement to collect and receive all cash held by, or
required to be deposited with, the Loan Trustee hereunder. In accordance with
the terms of this Section 8.03(c), such tolls, rents (including Rent), issues,
profits, products, revenues and other income shall be applied to pay the
expenses of using, operating, storing, leasing, controlling or managing the
Indenture Estate, and of all maintenance, insurance, repairs, replacements,
alterations, additions and improvements, and to make all payments which the Loan
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,
to the extent permitted by the Lease, the Company), and all other payments which
the Loan Trustee may be required or authorized to make under any provision of
this Agreement, including this Section 8.03(c), as well as just and reasonable
compensation for the services of the Loan Trustee, and of all persons properly
engaged and employed by the Loan Trustee.
If an Indenture Event of Default occurs and is continuing and the Loan
Trustee shall have obtained possession of or title to the Aircraft, the Loan
Trustee shall not be obligated to use or operate the Aircraft or cause the
Aircraft to be used or operated directly or indirectly by itself or through
agents or other representatives or to lease, license or otherwise permit or
provide for the use or operation of the Aircraft by any other Person unless (i)
the
56
(Series AB)
63
Loan Trustee shall have been able to obtain insurance in kinds, at rates and in
amounts satisfactory to it in its discretion to protect the Indenture Estate and
the Loan Trustee, as trustee and individually, against any and all liability for
loss or damage to the Aircraft and for public liability and property damage
resulting from use or operation of the Aircraft and (ii) funds are available in
the Indenture Estate to pay for all such insurance or, in lieu of such
insurance, the Loan Trustee is furnished with indemnification from the Loan
Participants or any other Person upon terms and in amounts satisfactory to the
Loan Trustee in its discretion to protect the Indenture Estate and the Loan
Trustee, as trustee and individually, against any and all such liabilities.
(d) Subject to Sections 8.03(b), 8.03(e), 8.03(f) and 8.03(h), the Loan
Trustee may proceed to protect and enforce this Agreement and the Equipment
Notes by suit or suits or proceedings in equity, at law or in bankruptcy, and
whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement herein
contained or in execution or aid of any power herein granted, or for foreclosure
hereunder, or for the appointment of a receiver or receivers for the Indenture
Estate or any part thereof, or for the recovery of judgment for the indebtedness
secured by the Lien created under this Agreement or for the enforcement of any
other proper, legal or equitable remedy available under applicable law.
(e) (i) If the Company shall fail to make any payment of Basic Rent
under the Lease when the same shall become due, and if such failure of the
Company 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
a Lease Event of Default) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Owner
Participant or the Owner Trustee may (but need not) pay to the Loan Trustee, at
any time prior to the day which is the thirtieth day subsequent to notice of
such failure by the Loan Trustee to the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant
(and the Loan Trustee shall not (without the prior written consent of the Owner
Trustee) 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 this
Article 8 prior to the occurrence of such date), 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 to the date of such payment (without
regard to any acceleration), and such payment by
57
(Series AB)
64
the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to cure as of the
date of such payment any Indenture Event of Default which arose from such
failure of the Company (including any Lease Event of Default arising from the
Company's failure to pay interest in respect of such overdue Basic Rent for the
period commencing on the date of such payment), but such cure shall not relieve
the Company of any of its obligations. If the Company shall fail to perform or
observe any covenant, condition or agreement to be performed or observed by it
under the Lease other than the payment of Basic Rent, 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 (other than those arising from a Lease Event of
Default) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Owner Participant or the
Owner Trustee may (but need not) pay to the Loan Trustee (or to such other
person as may be entitled to receive the same), at any time prior to the day
which is the thirtieth day subsequent to notice of such failure by the Loan
Trustee to the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant (or such longer period
ending on the second day after the expiry of the applicable grace period
specified in the Lease with respect to such default) (and the Loan Trustee shall
not (without the prior written consent of the Owner Trustee) 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 this Article 8 prior to the
occurrence of such date), all sums necessary to effect the performance or
observance of such covenant or agreement of the Company, together with any
interest due thereon on account of the delayed payment thereof to the date of
such payment, and such payment by the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee
shall be deemed to cure as of the date of such payment any Indenture Event of
Default which arose from such failure of the Company (including any Lease Event
of Default arising from the Company's failure to pay interest in respect of such
overdue payment for the period commencing on the date of such payment), but such
cure shall not relieve the Company of any of its obligations. 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(e)(i), 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(e)(i), then any declaration pursuant to Section 15
of the Lease that the Lease is in default, and any declaration pursuant to this
Indenture that the Equipment Notes are due and payable or
58
(Series AB)
65
that an Indenture Event of Default exists, based upon such Lease Event of
Default, shall be deemed rescinded, and 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 Loan 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 Loan 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 Loan Trustee or such other person, as aforesaid (but in each case
only if all amounts of principal of, and interest at the time due and payable
on, the Equipment Notes together with interest due 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 Company pursuant to this Section 8.03(e)(i) except
by demanding of the Company payment of such amount or by commencing an action
against the Company to require the payment of such amount.
(ii) At any time (a) one or more Lease Events of Default shall have
occurred and shall have continued for a period of 180 days or more or (b) the
Equipment Notes shall have been accelerated pursuant to Section 8.02, the Owner
Trustee or the Owner Participant may, at its option, give at least 30 days'
prior irrevocable notice to the Loan Trustee that it will redeem (or purchase in
lieu of redemption) all Equipment Notes then outstanding, which redemption or
purchase shall be pursuant to Section 6.02 and concurrently with such notice,
the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant will deposit with the Loan Trustee an
amount sufficient to redeem or purchase at the applicable Redemption Price
determined consistently with the applicable provisions of Section 6.02
(including, without limitation, Swap Breakage Losses, if any, payable in respect
of the Bank Equipment Notes in connection with any Indenture Event of Default
that is not a Lease Event of Default, but excluding Swap Breakage Losses, if
any, payable in respect of the Bank Equipment Notes in connection with an
Indenture Event of Default that is also a Lease Event of Default) all Equipment
Notes then Outstanding and to pay the Loan Trustee all amounts then due it
hereunder, which funds shall be held by the Loan Trustee as provided in Section
9.03. Upon the giving of such notice and the receipt by the Loan Trustee of such
deposit, the
59
(Series AB)
66
Loan Trustee shall deem all instructions received from the Owner Trustee or the
Owner Participant as having been given by the Loan Participants of 100% of the
Outstanding principal amount of Equipment Notes for all purposes of this
Indenture. If such notice is given, the Owner Trustee further agrees that it
will, if necessary, deposit or cause to be deposited with the Loan Trustee, on
or prior to the Business Day preceding the applicable Redemption Date, whether
or not an Indenture Event of Default is then continuing, additional funds
sufficient, when added to the funds already held by the Loan Trustee for such
purpose, to redeem or purchase at the applicable Redemption Price on such
Redemption Date all Equipment Notes then outstanding and to pay the Loan Trustee
all amounts then due it hereunder. No Make-Whole Amount on the Pass Through
Equipment Notes shall be payable by the Owner Trustee in connection with the
redemption or the purchase of the Pass Through Equipment Notes pursuant to this
Section. Upon the payment of all amounts by the Owner Trustee or the Owner
Participant pursuant to this Section, the Loan Trustee shall transfer the
Equipment Notes to the Owner Trustee.
(iii) It is further agreed and understood that if the Loan Trustee
shall proceed to foreclose the Lien of this Agreement, it shall substantially
simultaneously therewith, to the extent the Loan Trustee is then entitled to do
so hereunder and under the Lease, and is not then stayed or otherwise prevented
from doing so by operation of law, proceed (to the extent it has not already
done so) to exercise one or more comparable or consistent remedies referred to
in Section 15 of the Lease (but in any case, the exercise of such remedies shall
be commercially reasonable); provided, that, if the Loan Trustee is stayed or
otherwise prevented from exercising one or more of the remedies referred to in
Section 15 of the Lease, the Loan Trustee shall not, if and so long as such stay
or other prohibition shall remain in effect, foreclose the Lien of this
Agreement (A) for a period of 60 days after the date of the order for relief in
a chapter 11 case of the Company under the Bankruptcy Code unless the Company
elects to return the Aircraft or to permit the repossession of the Aircraft
before the expiration of such 60-day period and the Loan Trustee actually
repossesses the Aircraft; (B) for so long as the Company has agreed with the
approval of the relevant court to perform the Lease in compliance with the
requirements of Section 1110(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and so long after such
agreement as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing that
relates to the performance of the Lease (other than an Event of Default set

(h) or (i) of the Lease), provided that no such Event of Default shall be deemed
to occur earlier than the expiration of the 30-day period referred to in Section
1110(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Bankruptcy Code, as such period may be extended with the
approval, if required, of the Loan Trustee; (C) for so long as the 60-day period
specified in Section 1110(b) of the Bankruptcy Code is extended pursuant to
Section 1110(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with the consent of the Loan Trustee; (D)
for such longer period of time after the expiration of the 60-day period
referred to in, and as extended pursuant to, the preceding clause (C) (the
"Period") that the issue of the applicability of Section 1110 to the Aircraft
and Lease being disputed by the Company or the Owner Trustee or is subject to
judicial determination or pending appeal, provided that such longer period of
time shall not extend beyond 6 months after the Period unless there shall not be
continuing any default by the Company in the payment of Basic Rent, other than a
default as to which the 30-day period referred in, and as extended pursuant to,
the preceding clause (B) has not expired (it being understood that if the Owner
Trustee or the Owner Participant cures any such default, such cure shall not be
considered an exercise of Lessor's cure rights for purposes of determining the
number of cures permitted under Section 8.03(e)(i) hereof); or (E) from and
after the Company's assumption with the approval of the relevant court of the
Lease pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and so long after such
assumption as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing that
relates to the performance of the Lease (other than an Event of Default set
forth in Section 14(g), (h) or (i) of the Lease), and other than a default as to
which the 30-day period referred to in, and as extended pursuant to, the
preceding clause (B) has not expired; provided, however, that if such assumption
is in connection with an assignment of the Company's interest in the Lease
pursuant to Section 365(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, this clause (E) shall have no
effect unless the Loan Trustee has agreed that it has received adequate
assurance of future performance as set forth in Section 365(f)(2)(B) of the
Bankruptcy Code or (F) for so long as the Lessee retains possession of the
Aircraft, the Airframe or any Engine even though such retention of possession is
not attributable to the Lessee being in compliance with the provisions of
Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code and the Loan Trustee agrees to (without the
consent of the Owner Trustee and despite the ability of the Owner Trustee, or
the Loan Trustee as the assignee of the Owner Trustee's rights, under applicable
law, to repossess the Aircraft, Airframe or Engine) such retention of possession
of the Aircraft,
61
(Series AB)
68
Airframe or Engine. For the avoidance of doubt, it is expressly understood and
agreed that, subject to the immediately preceding sentence, the above-described
inability of the Loan Trustee to exercise any right or remedy under the Lease
shall in no event and under no circumstances prevent the Loan Trustee from
exercising all of its rights, powers and remedies under this Agreement,
including, without limitation, this Article 8. References in this subsection
(iii) to particular sections of the Bankruptcy Code as in effect on the date of
the amendment and restatement of this Indenture shall include any substantially
similar successor provisions.
(f) The Owner Trustee and the Loan Trustee acknowledge and agree that,
notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, including,
without limitation, the Granting Clause, Section 4.01 and Article 8, as long as
no Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, neither the
Loan Trustee nor the Owner Trustee shall take any action contrary to, or disturb
the Company's rights under, the Lease, including, without limitation, (x) the
right to receive all monies due and payable to it in accordance with the
provisions of the Lease and (y) the Company's rights to possession and use of,
and to quiet enjoyment of, the Aircraft.
(g) Each and every right, power and remedy herein given to the Loan
Trustee specifically or otherwise in this Agreement shall be cumulative and
shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically
given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and
every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise
existing may be exercised from time to time and as often in such order as may be
deemed expedient by the Loan Trustee, and the exercise or the beginning of the
exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the
right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or
remedy. No delay or omission by the Loan Trustee in the exercise of any right,
remedy or power or in pursuing 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 or the Company or to be an acquiescence therein.
(h) Notwithstanding anything contained herein, so long as the Pass
Through Trustee is the registered holder of any Equipment Note hereunder, the
Loan Trustee is not authorized or empowered to acquire title to all or any
portion of the Indenture Estate (including the property subject to the Lien of
this Indenture) or take any action with respect to all or any portion of
62
(Series AB)
69
the Indenture Estate (including the property subject to the Lien of this
Indenture) so acquired by it if such acquisition or action would cause any Pass
Through Trust to fail to qualify as a "grantor trust" for federal income tax
purposes.
Section 8.04. Waiver of Owner Trustee. A delay or omission by the Loan
Trustee or any Loan Participant in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon
an Indenture Event of Default under this Agreement shall not impair the right or
remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in such Indenture Event of
Default.
Section 8.05. Waiver of Existing Defaults. The Loan Participants owning
a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Equipment Notes by
notice to the Loan Trustee may waive on behalf of the Loan Participants an
existing Indenture Default or Indenture Event of Default and its consequences
except (i) an Indenture Default or Indenture Event of Default in the payment of
the principal of, or interest on, any Equipment Note or (ii) in respect of a
covenant or provision hereof that pursuant to Section 11.02 cannot be amended or
modified without the consent of each Loan Participant affected thereby.
Section 8.06. Control by Majority. Loan Participants owning a majority
in aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Outstanding Equipment Notes may
direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Loan Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it
by this Agreement. However, the Loan Trustee may refuse to follow any direction
that conflicts with law, the Lease or this Agreement, that is unduly prejudicial
to the rights of the Loan Participants so affected, or that would subject the
Loan Trustee to personal liability.
Section 8.07. Limitation on Suits by Loan Participants. A Loan
Participant may pursue a remedy under this Agreement or under an Equipment Note
only if:
(1) the Loan Participant gives to the Loan Trustee written notice of a
continuing Indenture Event of Default under this Agreement;
63
(Series AB)
70
(2) Loan Participants owning at least 25% in aggregate principal amount
of the outstanding Equipment Notes make a written request to the Loan Trustee to
pursue the remedy;
(3) such Loan Participant or Loan Participants offer to the Loan
Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Loan Trustee against any loss, liability
or expense to be, or which may be, incurred by the Loan Trustee in pursuing the
remedy;
(4) the Loan Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days
after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and
(5) during such 60-day period, Loan Participants owning a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Equipment Notes do not give the
Loan Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.
A Loan Participant may not use this Agreement to prejudice the rights
of another Loan Participant or to obtain a preference or priority over another
Loan Participant.
Section 8.08. Rights of Loan Participants to Receive Payment.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the right of any Loan
Participant to receive payment of principal of, and Make-Whole Amount, if any,
or Swap Breakage Loss, if any, as the case may be, and interest on an Equipment
Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Equipment Note, to
bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective
dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Loan
Participant.

sale or other disposition of any such Permitted Investment. If any Lease Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any net income, profit,
interest, dividend or gain realized upon maturity, sale or other disposition of
any Permitted Investment made pursuant to this paragraph (b) shall be held as
part of the Indenture Estate and shall be applied by the Loan Trustee at the
same time, on the same conditions and in the same manner as the amounts in
respect of which such income, profit, interest, dividend or gain was realized
are required to be distributed in accordance with the provisions hereof or of
the Lease pursuant to which such amounts were required to be held.

Trustee's and the Company's consent. The Owner Trustee (acting pursuant to
instructions from the Company) may remove the Loan Trustee if:

specifically applicable to such institution);
(2) the Loan Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent;
(3) a receiver or public officer takes charge of its property; or

Loan Trustee shall promptly transfer all property and all books and records
relating to the administration of the Indenture Estate held by it as Loan
Trustee to the successor Loan Trustee subject to the Lien provided for in

District of Columbia and having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$100,000,000) and which shall be a "citizen of the United States" as defined in
49 U.S.C. Section 40102. If such corporation publishes reports of conditions at
least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of Federal, State,

the purposes of this Section 9.08, the combined capital and surplus of such
corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth

resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 9.06.

therewith, whenever any present or future taxes or similar charges are required
to be withheld with respect to any amounts payable in respect of the Equipment
Notes, to withhold such amounts and timely pay the same to the appropriate
authority in the name of and on behalf of the Loan Participants, (ii) that it
will file any necessary withholding tax returns or statements when due and (iii)
that, as promptly as possible after the payment of such amounts, it will deliver
to each Loan Participant appropriate documentation showing the payment of such
amounts, together with such additional documentary evidence as such Loan
Participants may reasonably request from time to time. The Loan Trustee agrees
to file any
72
(Series AB)
79

itself, would not result in a downgrading of the credit rating (if any)
assigned to the Pass Through Certificates then outstanding and (ii) an
Opinion of Counsel for the Company reasonably satisfactory to the Loan
Trustee to the effect that the protection afforded by Section 1110 of the
Bankruptcy Code to the existing Loan Participants would not be adversely
affected by the issuance of such new series of Equipment Notes;

Section 7.02. Change in Registration. The Loan Trustee shall,
upon the request of the Company, consent to the deregistration of the Aircraft
under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is at the time registered and the
registration of the Aircraft under the laws of another ju- risdiction (herein
called a "change in registration") pro- vided that the following conditions are
met:
(a) Such change in registration complies with the provisions
of this Indenture.
(b) No Indenture Event of Default (and no event which, with
lapse of time or notice, or both, would become an Indenture Event of
Default) shall have oc- curred and be continuing at the date of such
request or at the effective date of the change in registration, provided
that it shall not be necessary to comply with this condition (i) if the
change in registration re- sults in the registration of the Aircraft
under the laws of the United States of America or (ii) if the Loan
Trustee in its discretion believes the change in registration would be
advantageous to the Loan Partici- pants.
(c) The Loan Trustee shall have received an opinion of counsel
to the Company reasonably satisfactory to it to the effect that:
(i) after giving effect to the change in registration,
the Lien on the Aircraft and the other property included in the
Indenture Estate shall continue as a fully perfected Lien and
that all filing, recording or other action necessary to perfect
and protect the Lien of the Indenture has been accomplished (or
if such opinion cannot be given at the time by which the Loan
Trustee has been requested to consent to a change in regis-

tration, (x) the opinion shall detail what filing, recording or
other action is necessary and (y) the Loan Trustee shall have
received a certificate from the Company that all possible
preparation to accomplish such filing, recording and other
action shall have been done, and such filing, recording and
other action shall be accomplished and a supplemental opinion
to that effect shall be deliv- ered to the Loan Trustee on or
prior to the effec- tive date of the change in registration);
and
(ii) the terms of this Indenture (including the governing
law clauses) are legal, valid and binding and enforceable in
such jurisdiction, except as the same may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally,
and by general principles of equity and except as limited by
applicable laws which may affect the remedies provided for in
this Inden- ture, which laws, however, do not in the opinion of
such counsel make the remedies provided in this Indenture
inadequate for the practical realization of the rights and
benefits provided hereby.
(d) The Loan Trustee shall have received assurances reasonably
satisfactory to it that the insurance provisions contained in
Section 11 of Article 15 hereof will have been complied with after
giving effect to such change in registration.

request in order to satisfy the above con- ditions and upon satisfaction of
such conditions to effect the change in registration.

(H) Sections 8.01, 8.02, 8.03 and 8.04 thereof shall read as

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)
and each such Indenture Event of Default shall be deemed to exist and continue
so long as, but only as long as, it shall not have been remedied:
(a) the Company shall fail to pay any installment of interest
upon any Equipment Note, or the principal of any Equipment Note or of
Make-Whole Amount, if any, or Swap Breakage Loss, if any, as the case may
be, in respect of any Equipment Note, in each case when the same shall be
due and payable (whether upon redemption, final maturity, acceleration or
otherwise), and, in each case, such failure shall continue for more than
15 days after the same shall have become due and payable; or
(b) the Company shall fail to carry and maintain insurance on
or with respect to the Aircraft in accor- dance with the provisions of
Section 11 of Article 15 hereof; provided that, in the case of insurance
with respect to which cancellation, change or lapse for nonpayment of
premium shall not be effective as to the Loan Trustee, the Bank Lenders
or the Pass Through Trustee for 30 days (seven days, or such other period
as may from time to time be customarily obtainable in the industry, in
the case of any war risk and allied perils coverage) after receipt of
notice by the Loan Trustee of such cancellation, change or lapse, no such
failure to carry and maintain insurance shall con- stitute an Indenture
Event of Default hereunder until the earlier of (i) the date such failure
shall have continued unremedied for a period of 20 days (five days in the
case of any war risk and allied perils coverage) after receipt by the
Loan Trustee of the notice of cancellation, change or lapse referred to
in Sec- tion 11(a)(C) or 11(b)(C) of Article 15 hereof, or (ii) the date
such insurance not being in effect as to the Loan Trustee or the Bank
Lenders; or

public liability insurance required by Sec- tion 11(a) of Article 15
hereof shall not be in effect; or
20
Trust Indenture Exhibit D
-------------------------
(Series AB)
140
(d) the Company shall fail to perform or observe any covenant
or agreement to be performed or observed by it hereunder or under the
Participation Agreement and such failure shall continue unremedied for a
period of 30 days after written notice thereof has been given by the Loan
Trustee; provided that, if such failure is capable of being remedied, so
long as the Company is diligently proceeding to remedy such failure, no
such failure shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder for a period
of up to 365 days; or
(e) any material representation or warranty made by the
Company in the Participation Agreement or in the Purchase Agreement (to
the extent applicable to the Aircraft) or in any document or certificate
furnished by the Company in connection herewith or therewith or pursuant
hereto or thereto shall prove to have been incorrect in any material
respect at the time made and such incorrectness shall continue to be
material and shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days after
written notice thereof has been given by the Loan Trustee; or
(f) the Company shall consent to the appointment of a
receiver, trustee or liquidator of itself or of a substantial part of its
property or the Company shall admit in writing its inability to pay its
debts gener- ally as they come due, or shall make a general assign- ment
for the benefit of creditors; or
(g) the Company shall file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy
or a voluntary petition or an answer seeking reorganization in a
proceeding under any bank- ruptcy laws (as now or hereafter in effect) or
an an- swer admitting the material allegations of a petition filed
against the Company in any such proceeding, or the Company shall by
voluntary petition, answer or consent, seek relief under the provisions
of any other now existing or future bankruptcy or other similar law
providing for the reorganization or winding up of cor- porations, or
providing for an agreement, composition, extension or adjustment with its
creditors; or
(h) an order, judgment, or decree shall be entered by any
court of competent jurisdiction appoint- ing, without the consent of the
Company, a receiver, trustee or liquidator of the Company or of any
substan- tial part of its property, or sequestering any substan-
21
Trust Indenture Exhibit D

141
tial part of the property of the Company, and any such order, judgment or
decree of appointment or sequestra- tion shall remain in force
undismissed, unstayed or unvacated for a period of 90 days after the date
of entry thereof; or
(i) a petition against the Company in a proceeding under the
Federal bankruptcy laws or other insol- vency laws, as now or hereafter
in effect, shall be filed and shall not be withdrawn or dismissed within
90 days thereafter, or, under the provisions of any law providing for
reorganization or winding-up of corpora- tions which may apply to the
Company, any court of competent jurisdiction shall assume jurisdiction,
cus- tody or control of the Company 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 90 days;
provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Indenture, any failure of the Company to perform or observe any covenant,
condition, or agreement herein shall not constitute an Indenture Event of
Default if such failure is caused solely by reason of an event referred to in
the definition of "Event of Loss", so long as the Company is continuing to
comply with the applicable terms of Section 10 of Article 15 hereof.
Section 8.02. Acceleration; Rescission and Annulment. If an
Indenture Event of Default occurs and is con- tinuing, the Loan Trustee, by
notice to the Company, or the Loan Participants holding at least 25% in
aggregate princi- pal amount of outstanding Equipment Notes by notice to the
Company and the Loan Trustee, may declare the principal of all the Equipment
Notes to be due and payable. Upon such declaration, the principal of all
Equipment Notes, together with accrued interest thereon from the date in
respect of which interest was last paid hereunder to the date payment of such
principal has been made or duly provided for shall be due and payable
immediately, together with Swap Breakage Loss,
22
Trust Indenture Exhibit

(Series AB)
142
if any, on the Bank Equipment Notes. At any time after such declaration and
prior to the sale or disposition of the Indenture Estate, the Loan
Participants in a majority in aggregate principal amount of all of the
Outstanding Equipment Notes, by notice to the Loan Trustee and the Com- pany,
may rescind such a declaration and thereby annul its consequences if (i) an
amount sufficient to pay all princi- pal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and
Swap Breakage Loss, if any, and interest thereon, at the rate prescribed
there- for in such Equipment Note and interest due or past due, if any, in
respect of the Outstanding Equipment Notes plus all other amounts payable to
the Loan Participants, other than by reason of such acceleration, and all sums
due and payable to the Loan Trustee has been deposited with the Loan Trustee,
(ii) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and (iii)
all existing Indenture Defaults and Indenture Events of Default under this
Indenture have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal of, Swap
Breakage Loss, if any, or interest on the Equipment Notes that has become due
solely because of such acceleration. No Make-Whole Amount shall be payable on
the Pass Through Equipment Notes as a result of the acceleration of the
Equipment Notes.
Section 8.03. Other Remedies Available to Loan Trustee. (a)
After an Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred and so long as the
same shall be continuing, then and in every such case the Loan Trustee, as
trustee of an express trust and as holder of a security interest in the
Aircraft or Engines or otherwise, may, at its option, de- clare this Indenture
to be in default by a written notice to the Company; and at any time
thereafter, so long as the Company shall not have remedied all outstanding
Events of Default, the Loan Trustee may do one or more of the follow- ing with
respect to all or any part of any Airframe or any Engines as the Loan Trustee
in its sole discretion shall elect, to the extent permitted by, and subject to
compliance with any mandatory requirements of, applicable law then in effect;
provided, however, that, during any period when the Aircraft is subject to the
Civil Reserve Air Fleet Program in accordance with the provisions of Section
7(b) of Article 15 hereof and in the possession of the United States
government or an instrumentality or agency thereof, and to the extent that any
applicable law or contractual provision covering the Aircraft so requires, the
Loan Trustee shall not, on account of any Indenture Event of Default, be en-
titled to do any of the following in such manner as to limit the Company's
control (or any lessee's control, under any lease permitted by the terms of
Section 7(b) of Article 15 hereof) of any Airframe or any Engines, unless at
least 60 days' (or such lesser period as may then be applicable under the
Military Airlift Command Program of the United States Government) prior
written notice of default under this In- denture with respect to the Company's
obligations hereunder shall have been given by the Loan Trustee by registered
or certified mail to the Company (and, if applicable, any such

143
lessee) with a copy addressed to the Contracting Office Representative for
the Military Airlift Command of the United States Air Force under any contract
with the Company (or any such lessee) relating to the Aircraft:
(i) cause the Company, upon the written demand of the Loan
Trustee and at the Company's expense, to re- turn promptly, and the
Company shall return promptly, all or such part of any Airframe or any
Engine as the Loan Trustee may so demand to the Loan Trustee or its order
or the Loan Trustee, at its option, may enter upon the premises where all
or any part of such Air- frame or any Engine are located and take
immediate possession of and remove the same (together with any engine
which is not an Engine but which is installed on the Airframe, subject to
all of the rights of the owner, lessor, lienor or secured party of such
engine; provided that the Airframe with an engine (which is not an
Engine) installed thereon may be flown or returned only to a location
within the continental United States, and such engine shall be held for
the account of any such owner, lessor, lienor or secured party or, if
owned by the Company, may, at the option of the Loan Trustee, be
exchanged with the Company for an Engine) all without liability accruing
to the Loan Trustee for or by reason of such entry or taking of
possession or removal, whether for the restoration of damage to prop-
erty caused by taking or otherwise; or
(ii) sell all or any part of any Airframe and any Engine at
public or private sale, whether or not the Loan Trustee shall at the time
have possession thereof, as the Loan Trustee may determine, or otherwise
dispose of, hold, use, operate, lease to others or keep idle all or any
part of such Airframe or such Engine as the Loan Trustee, in its sole
discretion, may determine, all free and clear of any rights of the
Company and without any duty to account to the Company with respect to
such action or inaction or for any proceeds with respect thereto.
(b) Subject to Section 8.03(e) and Section 8.03(h), if an
Indenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Loan Trustee
may, if at the time such action may be lawful and always subject to compliance
with any mandatory legal requirements, either with or without taking
possession, and either before or after taking possession, and without
instituting any legal proceedings whatso-

144
ever, and having first given notice of such sale by registered mail to the
Company once at least thirty days prior to the date of such sale, and any other
notice which may be required by law, sell and dispose of the Indenture Estate,
or any part thereof, or interest therein, at public auction to the highest
bidder, in one lot as an entirety or in sepa- rate lots, and either for cash or
on credit and on such terms as the Loan Trustee may determine, and at any place
(whether or not it be the location of the Indenture Estate or any part thereof)
and time designated in the notice above referred to; provided, however, that,
notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Loan Trustee shall
not sell any of the Indenture Estate unless a declaration of acceleration has
been made pursuant to Section 8.02. Any such sale or sales may be adjourned
from time to time by announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale
or sales, or for any such adjourned sale or sales, without further notice, and
the Loan Trustee and any Loan Partici- pant may bid and become the purchaser at
any such sale. The Loan Trustee may exercise such right without possession or
production of the Equipment Notes or proof of ownership thereof, and as
representative of the Loan Participants may exercise such right without notice
to the Loan Participants or including the Loan Participants as parties to any
suit or proceeding relating to foreclosure of any property in the Indenture
Estate. The Company hereby irrevocably consti- tutes the Loan Trustee the true
and lawful attorney-in-fact of the Company (in the name of the Company or
otherwise) for the purpose of effectuating any sale, assignment, transfer or
delivery for enforcement of the Lien created under 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 Loan Trustee
may consider necessary or appropriate, with full power of sub- stitution, the
Company hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney or any
substitute shall lawfully do by virtue hereof. Nevertheless, if so requested by
the Loan Trustee or any purchaser, the Company shall ratify and con- firm any
such sale, assignment, transfer or delivery, by executing and delivering to the
Loan Trustee or such pur- chaser all bills of sale, assignments, releases and
such proper instruments to effect such ratification and confirma- tion as may
be designated in any such request.
(c) Subject to Section 8.03(e) and 8.03(h), if an Indenture
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall, at the
request the Loan Trustee, promptly execute and deliver to the Loan Trustee such
instruments of
25
Trust Indenture Exhibit D

(Series AB)
145
title or other documents as the Loan Trustee may deem neces- sary or advisable
to enable the Loan Trustee or an agent or representative designated by the Loan
Trustee, at such time or times and place or places as the Loan Trustee may
spec- ify, to obtain possession of all or any part of the Inden- ture Estate.
If the Company shall for any reason fail to execute and deliver such
instruments and documents after such request by the Loan Trustee, the Loan
Trustee shall be entitled, in a proceeding to which the Company will be a
necessary party, to a judgment for specific performance of the covenants
contained in the foregoing sentence, confer- ring upon the Loan Trustee the
right to immediate possession and requiring the Company to execute and deliver
such in- struments and documents to the Loan Trustee. The Loan Trustee shall
also be entitled to pursue all or any part of the Indenture Estate wherever it
may be found and may enter any of the premises of the Company or any other
Person wher- ever the Indenture Estate may be or is supposed to be and search
for the Indenture Estate and take possession of any item of the Indenture
Estate pursuant to this Sec- tion 8.03(c). The Loan Trustee may, from time to
time, at the expense of the Indenture Estate, make all such expendi- tures for
maintenance, insurance, repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and
improvements to and of the Inden- ture Estate, as it may deem proper. In each
such case, the Loan Trustee shall have the right to use, operate, store, lease,
control or manage the Indenture Estate, and to exer- cise all rights and powers
of the Company relating to the Indenture Estate as the Loan Trustee shall deem
appropriate, including the right to enter into any and all such agree- ments
with respect to the use, operation, storage, leasing, control or management of
the Indenture Estate or any part thereof; and the Loan Trustee shall be
entitled to collect and receive directly all tolls, rents, issues, profits,
products, revenues and other income of the Indenture Estate and every part
thereof, without prejudice, however, to the right of the Loan Trustee under any
provision of this Inden- ture to collect and receive all cash held by, or
required to be deposited with, the Loan Trustee hereunder. In accor- dance
with the terms of this Section 8.03(c), such tolls, rents, issues, profits,
products, revenues and other income shall be applied to pay all expenses of
using, operating, storing, leasing, controlling or managing the Indenture
Estate, and of all maintenance, insurance, repairs, replace- ments,
alterations, additions and improvements, and to make all payments which the
Loan 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 accoun- tants to examine,
inspect and make reports upon the proper- ties and books and records of the
Company in accordance with this Section 8.03(c)), and all other payments which
the Loan Trustee may be required or authorized to make under any provision of
this Indenture, including this Section 8.03(c), as well as just and reasonable
compensation for the services of the Loan Trustee, and of all Persons properly
engaged and employed by the Loan Trustee.
If an Indenture Event of Default occurs and is continuing and
the Loan Trustee shall have obtained posses- sion of or title to the Aircraft,
the Loan Trustee shall not be obligated to use or operate the Aircraft or cause
the Aircraft to be used or operated directly or indirectly by itself or through
agents or other representatives or to lease, license or otherwise permit or
provide for the use or operation of the Aircraft by any other Person unless (i)
the Loan Trustee shall have been able to obtain insurance in kinds, at rates and
in amounts satisfactory to it in its discretion to protect the Indenture Estate
and the Loan Trustee, as trustee and individually, against any and all liability
for loss or damage to the Aircraft and for public liability and property damage
resulting from use or opera- tion of the Aircraft and (ii) funds are available
in the Indenture Estate to pay for all such insurance or, in lieu of such
insurance, the Loan Trustee is furnished with indem- nification from the holders
of the Equipment Notes or any other Person upon terms and in amounts
satisfactory to the Loan Trustee in its discretion to protect the Indenture
Estate and the Loan Trustee, as trustee and individually, against any and all
such liabilities.
(d) Subject to Section 8.03(e) and 8.03(h), the Loan Trustee
may proceed to protect and enforce this Inden- ture and the Equipment Notes by
suit or suits or proceedings in equity, at law or in bankruptcy, and whether for
the specific performance of any covenant or agreement herein contained or in
execution or aid of any power herein granted; or for foreclosure hereunder, or
for the appoint- ment of a receiver or receivers for the Indenture Estate or any
part thereof, or for the recovery in judgment for the indebtedness secured by
the Lien created under this Inden- ture or for the enforcement of any other
proper, legal or equitable remedy available under applicable law.
(e) Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture to the
contrary, including, without limitation, Sec-

tions 8.03(b), 8.03(c) and 8.03(d), so long as no Indenture Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, the Loan Trustee shall not take any
action contrary to, or dis- turb, the Company's rights to possession and use of,
and quiet enjoyment of, the Aircraft.
(f) Each and every right, power and remedy herein given to the
Loan Trustee specifically or otherwise in this Indenture shall be cumulative and
shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically
given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and
every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise
existing may be exer- cised from time to time and as often in such order as may
be deemed expedient by the Loan Trustee, and the exercise or the beginning of
the exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the
right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or rem-
edy. No delay or omission by the Loan Trustee in the exer- cise of any right,
remedy or power or in pursuing 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 Company
or to be an acquiescence therein.
(g) Notwithstanding any provision hereof, if any payment of
principal of any Equipment Note shall not be made when and as the same shall
become due and payable, or if any payment of interest on any Equipment Note
shall not be made when and as the same shall become due and payable, and such
failure shall continue for the period prescribed in Sec- tion 8.01(a), the Loan
Trustee shall be entitled to recover judgment, in its own name and as trustee of
an express trust, upon the Equipment Note for the whole amount of such principal
or interest, as the case may be, remaining unpaid.
(h) Notwithstanding anything contained herein, so long as the
Pass Through Trustee is the registered holder of any Equipment Note hereunder,
the Loan Trustee is not autho- rized or empowered to acquire title to all or any
portion of the Indenture Estate or take any action with respect to all or any
portion of the Indenture Estate so acquired by it if such acquisition or action
would cause any Pass Through Trust to fail to qualify as a "grantor trust" for
Federal income tax purposes.
Section 8.04. Waiver of Company. To the extent now or at any
time hereafter enforceable under applicable law, the Company covenants that it
will not at any time

(Series AB)
148
insist upon or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take any benefit or
advantage of, any stay or extension law now or at any time hereafter in force,
nor claim, take nor insist upon any benefit or advantage of or from any law now
or hereafter in force providing for the valuation or ap- praisement of the
Indenture Estate or any part thereof, prior to any sale or sales thereof to be
made pursuant to any provision herein contained, or to the decree, judgment or
order of any court of competent jurisdiction; nor, after such sale or sales,
claim or exercise any right under any statute now or hereafter made or enacted
by any state or otherwise to redeem the property so sold or any part thereof,
and hereby expressly waives for itself and on be- half of each and every Person,
except decree or judgment creditors of the Company acquiring any interest in or
title to the Indenture Estate or any part thereof subsequent to the date of this
Indenture, all benefit and advantage of any such law or laws, and covenants that
it will not invoke or utilize any such law or laws or otherwise hinder, delay or
impede the execution of any power herein granted and dele- gated to the Loan
Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though
no such law or laws had been made or enacted.
The Loan Trustee may maintain such a proceeding even if it does
not possess any of the Equipment Notes or does not produce any of them in the
proceeding. A delay or omission by the Loan Trustee or any Loan Participant in
exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Indenture Event of Default under
this Indenture shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or
acquiescence in such Indenture Event of Default.
(I) Section 9.11 thereof shall read as follows:
Section 9.11. Assumption of Certain Obligations.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, any reference in
this Article 9 to the Owner Trustee or to any obligation of the Owner Trustee
shall be deemed to be a reference to the Company or to an obligation of the
Company, as the case may be, any reference to "Lease Event of Default" shall be
deemed to be a reference to an "Inden- ture Event of Default," all provisions
requiring notices to the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant shall be deemed
to be deleted for the purposes of this Article 9 and any provision in this
Article 9 requiring the action or consent of the Owner Trustee shall be deemed
to require the action or approval of the Company.

above in clause (A), the right of the Company to cause the redemption of
Equipment Notes (except redemption in respect of which irrevocable notice
has theretofore been given) shall terminate;
(B) such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of,
or constitute an Indenture Default or Indenture Event of Default under,
this Indenture or a default or event of default under any other agreement
or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound; and
(C) the Company has delivered to the Loan Trustee an Officers'
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that there has been
published by the Inter- nal Revenue Service a ruling to the effect that
Loan Participants will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal
income tax purposes as a result of the exercise by the Company of its
option under this Sec- tion 10.01(a)(iii) and will be subject to Federal
in- come tax on the same amount and in the same manner and

38

itself, would not result in a downgrading of the credit rating assigned to the
Pass Through Certificates then outstanding (if any), and (ii) an Opinion of
Counsel for the Company reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee to the
effect that the protection afforded by Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code to
the existing Loan Participants would not be adversely affected by the issuance
of such new series of Equipment Notes; provided that such opinion need not be
delivered to the extent that the benefits of such Section 1110 are not available

40
Trust Indenture Exhibit D
(Series AB)
160
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, but subject always to the terms and
conditions set forth in Section 7.02 of this Indenture, the Company may
cause the Aircraft to be duly registered under the laws of any jurisdiction
in which a lessee pursuant to Section 7(b)(ix) of this Article could be
principally based and shall thereafter maintain such registration unless
and until changed as provided herein and therein; and the Loan Trustee will
cooperate with the company in effecting such foreign registration;
(ii) maintain, service, repair, overhaul and test the Aircraft in
accordance with a maintenance program (as approved by the Federal Aviation
Administration) for Boeing 767-300 series aircraft (or, at the Company's

jurisdiction pursuant to Section 7(a)(i) of this Article, in accordance
with an aircraft maintenance program approved by the central civil aviation
authority of the jurisdiction of such registration or (y) in the event of
any lease to a foreign air carrier in accordance with Section 7(b)(ix) of
this Article, approved by the central civil aviation authority of one of
the jurisdictions specified in clause (y) of such Section 7(b)(ix)) and in
the same manner and with the same care used by the Company with respect to
comparable aircraft and engines owned or operated by the Company and
utilized in similar circumstances so as to keep the Aircraft in as good
operating condition as when delivered to the Company by the Manufacturer,
ordinary wear and tear excepted, and in such condition as may be necessary
to enable the airworthiness certification of the Aircraft to be maintained
in good standing at all times (other than during temporary periods of
storage in accordance with applicable regulations or during periods of
grounding by applicable governmental authorities, except where such periods
of grounding are the result of the failure by the Company to maintain the
Aircraft as otherwise required herein) under the Federal Aviation Act or,
if the Aircraft is registered under the laws of any other jurisdiction, the
laws of such jurisdiction and in compliance with all applicable
manufacturer's alert service bulletins;
(iii) maintain, in the English language, all records, logs and other
materials required by the appropriate authorities in the jurisdiction where
the Air-
41
Trust Indenture Exhibit D
(Series AB)
161
craft is registered to be maintained in respect of the Aircraft; and
(iv) promptly furnish to the Loan Trustee such information as may be
required to enable the Loan Trustee to file any reports, returns or
statements required to be filed by the Loan Trustee with any governmental
authority because of the Loan Trustee's interest in the Aircraft.
The Company agrees that the Aircraft will not be maintained, used or
operated in violation of any law or any rule, regulation or order of any
government or governmental authority having jurisdiction (domestic of foreign),
or in violation of any airworthiness certificate, license or registration
relating to the Aircraft issued by any such authority; provided that the Company
shall not be in default under this sentence if it is not possible for it to
comply with the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States (or other
than any jurisdiction in which the Aircraft is then registered) because of a
conflict with the applicable laws of the United States (or such jurisdiction in
which the Aircraft is then registered). In the event that any such law, rule,
regulation or order requires alteration of the Aircraft, the Company will
conform thereto or obtain conformance therewith at no expense to the Loan
Trustee and will maintain the Aircraft in proper operating condition under such
laws, rules, regulations and orders; provided, however, that the Company may, in
good faith, contest the validity or application of any such law, rule,
regulation or order in any reasonable manner which does not materially adversely
affect the Loan Trustee, the Aircraft, the Loan Participants or the Lien of this
Indenture. The Company also agrees not to operate or locate the Aircraft, or
suffer the Aircraft to be operated or located, (i) in any area excluded from
coverage by any insurance required by the terms of Section 11 of this Article,
except in the case of a requisition for use by any Government where the Company
obtains indemnity pursuant to Section 11 of this Article in lieu of such
insurance from such Government against the risks and in the amounts required by
Section 11 of this Article in lieu of such insurance from such Government
against the risks and in the amounts required by Section 11 of this Article
covering such area, or ( ii) in any war zone or recognized or, in the Company's
judgment, threatened area of hostilities unless covered by war risk insurance in
accordance with Section 11 of this Article, but only so long as the same remains
in effect while the Aircraft is so operated or located, or unless the
42
Trust Indenture Exhibit D
(Series AB)
162
Aircraft is operated or used under contract with any Government entered into
pursuant to Section 11 of this Article, under which contract such Government
assumes liability for any damage, loss, destruction or failure to return
possession of the Aircraft at the end of the term of such contract or for injury
to persons or damage to property of others.
(b) Possession. The Company will not, without the prior written
consent of the Loan Trustee, lease or otherwise in any manner deliver, transfer
or relinquish possession of 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 Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, and so long as the action to be taken shall not deprive the Loan
Trustee of the perfected lien of this Indenture on the Airframe or (subject to
the subclause (B) of the "provided further" clause to subsection (i) of this
Section 7(b)) any Engine, and in any event, so long as the company shall comply
with the provisions of Section 11, the Company may, without the prior consent of
the Loan Trustee:
(i) subject the Airframe to normal interchange agreements or any
Engine to normal interchange or pooling agreements or arrangements in each
case customary in the airline industry and entered into by the Company in
the ordinary course of its business with any other United States air
carrier as to which there is in force a certificate issued pursuant to
Section 401 of the Federal Aviation Act or any successor provision that
gives like authority or with any "foreign air carrier" (as such term is
defined in such Act) as to which there is in force a permit issued pursuant
to Section 402 of said Act (any such United States certificated air carrier
and any such foreign air carrier being hereinafter called a "Permitted Air
Carrier"); provided that no transfer of the registration of such Airframe
shall be effected in connection therewith; and provided, further, that (A)
no such agreement or arrangement contemplates or requires the transfer of
title to the Airframe and (B) if the Company's title to any such Engine
shall be divested under any such agreement or arrangement, such divestiture
shall be deemed to be an Event of Loss with respect to such Engine and the
Company shall comply with Section 10(b) of this Article in respect thereof;
43
Trust Indenture Exhibit D
(Series AB)
163
(ii) deliver possession of the Airframe or any Engine to the
manufacturer thereof for testing or other similar purposes or to any
organization for service, repair, maintenance or overhaul work on the
Airframe or such Engine or any part thereof or for alterations or
modifications in or additions to the Airframe or such Engine to the extent
required or permitted by the terms of Section 7(a) or 8(c) of this Article;
(iii) transfer possession of the Airframe or any Engine to the United
States of America or any instrumentality or agency thereof pursuant to a
sublease, contract or other instrument, a copy of which shall be furnished
to the Loan Trustee;
(iv) transfer possession of the Airframe or any Engine to the United
State of America or any instrumentality or agency thereof in accordance
with applicable laws, rulings, regulations or orders (including, without
limitation, the Civil Reserve Air Fleet Program authorized under 10 U.S.C.
Section 9511 et seq. or any substantially similar program);
(v) install an Engine on an airframe owned by the Company free and
clear of all Liens, except (A) those of the type permitted under clauses
(i), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) of Section 6 of this Article and
those which apply only to the engines (other than Engines), appliances,
parts, instruments, appurtenances, accessories, furnishings and other
equipment (other than Parts) installed on such airframe (but not to the
airframe as an entirety) and ( B) the rights of other Permitted Air
Carriers under normal interchange agreements which are customary in the
airline industry and do not contemplate, permit or require the transfer of
title to the airframe or engines installed thereon;
(vi) install an Engine on an airframe leased to the Company or owned
by the Company subject to a conditional sale or other security agreement;
provided that (A) such airframe is free and clear of all Liens except the
right of the parties to the lease or conditional sale or other security
agreement covering such airframe and except Liens of the type permitted by
clauses (A) and (B) of subparagraph (v) of this paragraph of Section 7(b)
of this Article and (B) the Company shall have obtained from the lessor or
secured party of such airframe a written agreement (which may
44
Trust Indenture Exhibit D
(Series AB)
164
be the lease or conditional sale or other security agreement covering such
airframe), in form and substance satisfactory to the Loan Trustee (it being
understood that an agreement from such lessor or secured party
substantially in the form of the final sentence of the penultimate
paragraph of this Section 7(b) of this Article shall be deemed to be
satisfactory to the Loan Trustee), whereby such lessor or secured party
expressly agrees that neither it nor its successors or assigns will acquire
or claim any right, title or interest in any Engine by reason of such
Engine being installed on such airframe at any time while such Engine is
subject to the lien of the Trust Indenture;
(vii) install an Engine on an airframe owned by the Company, leased to
the Company or owned by the Company subject to a conditional sale or other
security agreement under circumstances where neither subparagraph (v) nor
subparagraph (vi) of this Section 7(b) of this Article is applicable;
provided that such installation shall be deemed an Event of Loss with
respect to such Engine and the Company shall comply with Section 10(b) of
this Article in respect thereof, the Loan Trustee not intending hereby to
waive any right or interest it may have to or in such Engine under
applicable law until compliance by the Company with such Section 10(b) of
this Article;
(viii) lease any Engine or the Airframe and Engines or engines then
installed on the Airframe to any United States air carrier as to which
there is in force a certificate issued pursuant to Section 401 of the
Federal Aviation Act or successor provision that gives like authority;
(ix) lease any Engine or the Airframe and Engines or engines then
installed on the Airframe to ( A) any foreign air carrier that is
principally based in and a domiciliary of a country (other than Cuba, El
Salvador, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon and Libya) that is at the inception of the
lease a party to the Mortgage Convention, or (B) any foreign air carrier
that is principally based in and a domiciliary of a country listed in
Schedule I hereto, or (C) any foreign air carrier not described in clause
(A) or (B) above; provided that (w) in the case only of a lease to a
foreign air carrier under clause (C) above, the Loan Trustee receives at
the time of
45
Trust Indenture Exhibit D
(Series AB)
165
such lease an opinion of counsel to the Company (which counsel shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee) to the effect that ( a) the
terms of the lease and the Operative Documents are legal, valid, binding
and enforceable in the country in which such air carrier is principally
based, to substantially the same extent as the Operative Documents are at
that time enforceable in the United States, (b) it is not necessary for the
Loan Trustee to qualify to do business in such country solely as a result
of the proposed lease, (c) there is no tort liability of the Loan Trustee
as a result of the Lien of this Indenture under the laws of such country
other than tort liability no more extensive or onerous than that which
might have been imposed on the Loan Trustee under the laws of the United
States or any state thereof (it being understood that, in the event such
opinion cannot be given in a form satisfactory to the Loan Trustee, such
opinion shall be waived if insurance reasonably satisfactory to the Loan
Trustee is provided by the Company to cover the risk of such liability),
(d) the laws of such country require fair compensation by the government of
such country for the loss of the use of the Aircraft in the event of the
requisition by such government of the Aircraft (unless the Company shall
have agreed to provide insurance reasonably satisfactory to the Loan
Trustee covering the risk of requisition of use of the Aircraft by the
government of such jurisdiction so long as the aircraft is leased in such
country), and (e) there exist no possessory rights in favor of such lessee
under the laws of such country which would, upon bankruptcy of or other
default by the Company or the lessee, prevent the return of such Engine or
the Airframe and such Engine or engine to the Loan Trustee in accordance
with and when permitted by the terms of this Indenture upon the exercise by
the Loan Trustee of its remedies under this Indenture (x) in the case only
of a lease to a foreign air carrier under clause (C) above, the Loan
Trustee receives assurances reasonably satisfactory to it that the currency
of such country is freely convertible into U.S. Dollars (unless the Company
shall have agreed to provide the requisition insurance described in
subclause (d) of clause (w) above), (y) in the case of any lease to a
foreign air carrier, either the lease, or an arrangement existing between
the Company, the lessee and/or one or more third parties that provide
maintenance services, provides that the Aircraft will be maintained,
serviced,
46
Trust Indenture Exhibit D
(Series AB)
166
repaired, overhauled and tested in accordance with maintenance standards
for Boeing 767-300 series aircraft approved by, or substantially similar to
those approved or required by, the Federal Aviation Administration or the
central civil aviation authority of any of Brazil, Canada, France, The
Federal Republic of Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Sweden,
Switzerland or the United Kingdom and (z) in the case of any lease to a
foreign air carrier (other than a foreign air carrier principally based in
Taiwan) the United States of America maintains diplomatic relations with
the country in which such foreign air carrier is principally based at the
time such lease is entered into;
provided that the rights of any transferee who receives possession by reason of
a transfer permitted by this Section 7(b) (other than the transfer of an Engine
which is deemed an Event of Loss) shall be subject and subordinate to, and any
lease permitted by this Section 7(b) shall be made expressly subject and
subordinate to, all the terms of this Indenture, including, without limitation,
the Loan Trustee's rights to repossession pursuant to Article 8 hereof and to
avoid such lease upon such repossession and the Loan Trustee's rights to
possession pursuant to Section 8.03 of this Indenture, and the Company shall in
all events remain primarily liable hereunder for the performance and observance
of all of the terms and conditions of this Indenture to the same extent as if
such lease or transfer had not occurred, and any such lease shall include
appropriate provisions for the maintenance (subject to clause (y) of the proviso
to Section 7(b)(ix) of this Article) and insurance of the Aircraft. The Company
shall not lease the Aircraft to an air carrier that at the inception of the
lease is subject to bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceedings unless
the lease shall have been approved by the receiver, liquidator, conservator,
court or other governmental or administrative authority or entity responsible
for the adjudication or administration of such proceedings. No interchange
agreement, pooling agreement, lease or other relinquishment of possession of the
Airframe or any Engine shall in any way discharge or diminish any of the
Company's obligations to the Loan Trustee hereunder or under the Participation
Agreement. With the prior written consent of the Loan Trustee, the Company may
sublease the Airframe or Engines in connection with a transaction that involves
such a sublease commencing at the inception of the transaction. The Loan
Trustee hereby agrees, for the benefit of the les-
47
Trust Indenture Exhibit D
(Series AB)
167
sor or secured party of any airframe leased by the Company or owned by the
Company subject to a conditional sale or other security agreement, that the Loan
Trustee will not acquire or claim, as against such lessor or secured party, any
right, title or interest in any engine or engines owned 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 as the result of such engine or
engines being installed on the Airframe at any time while such engine or engines
are subject to such lease or conditional sale or other security agreement.
The Loan Trustee acknowledges that any "wet lease" or other similar
arrangement under which the Company maintains operational control of the
Aircraft shall not constitute a delivery, transfer or relinquishment of
possession for purposes of this Section 7(b).
(c) Insignia. The Company agrees to at all times maintain in the
cockpit of the Airframe adjacent to the airworthiness certificate therein and
(if not prevented by applicable law or regulations or by any governmental
authority) on each Engine a nameplate bearing the inscription "STATE STREET BANK
AND TRUST COMPANY OF CONNECTICUT, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, AS LOAN TRUSTEE,
MORTGAGEE" (such nameplate to be replaced, if necessary, with a nameplate
reflecting the name of any successor Loan Trustee).
Section 8. Replacement and Pooling of Parts; Alterations,
Modifications and Additions. (a) Replacement of Parts. The Company, at its own
cost and expense, will promptly replace all Parts which may from time to time be
incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or any Engine and which
may from time to time become worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized,
confiscated, damaged beyond repair or rendered permanently unfit for use for any
reason whatsoever, except as otherwise provided in Section 8(c) of this Article.
In addition, the Company may, at its own cost and expense, remove in the
ordinary course of maintenance, service, repair, overhaul or testing, any Parts,
whether or not worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged
beyond repair or rendered permanently unfit for use; provided that the Company,
except as otherwise provided in Section 8(c) of this Article, will, at its own
cost and expense, replace such Parts as promptly as possible. All replacement
Parts shall be free and clear of all Liens (except for pooling arrangements to
the extent permitted by Section 8(b) of this Article and Permitted Liens) and
shall
48
Trust Indenture Exhibit D
(Series AB)
168
be in as good operating condition as, and shall have a value and utility at
least equal to, the Parts replaced, assuming such replaced Parts were in the
condition and repair required to be maintained by the terms hereof. All Parts
at any time removed from the Airframe or any Engine shall remain subject to the
Lien of this Indenture, no matter where located, until such time as such Parts
shall be replaced by Parts which have been incorporated or installed in or
attached to the Airframe or such Engine and which meet the requirements for
replacement Parts specified above. Immediately upon any replacement Part
becoming incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or any Engine
as above provided without further act, (i) title to the replaced Part shall
thereupon be free and clear of all rights of the Loan Trustee, and shall no
longer be deemed a Part hereunder, (ii) title to such replacement Part shall
thereupon be subject to the Lien of this Indenture, free and clear of all Liens
(except for Permitted Liens) and (iii) such replacement Part shall become
subject to this Indenture and be deemed part of the Airframe or such Engine for
all purposes to the same extent as the Parts originally incorporated or
installed in or attached to the Airframe or such Engine.
(b) Pooling of Parts. Any Part removed from the Airframe or any
Engine as provided in Section 8(a) of this Article may be subjected by the
Company to a normal pooling arrangement customary in the airline industry
entered into in the ordinary course of the Company's business with Permitted Air
Carriers; provided that the Part replacing such removed Part shall be
incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or such Engine in
accordance with Section 8(a) of this Article as promptly as practicable 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 Section 8(a) of this Article, may be owned by a Permitted Air
Carrier subject to such a normal pooling arrangement; provided that the Company,
at its expense, as promptly thereafter as is practicable, either (i) causes
title to such replacement Part to vest in the Company free and clear of all
Liens except Permitted Liens, at which time such replacement Part shall, in
accordance with Section 8(a) of this Article, become a Part and become subject
to the Lien of this Indenture or (ii) replaces such replacement Part by
incorporating or installing in or attaching to the Airframe or such Engine a
further replacement Part owned by the Company free and clear of all Liens (other
than Permitted
49
Trust Indenture Exhibit D
(Series AB)
169
Liens), which shall without further act be subject to the Lien of this
Indenture.
(c) Alterations, Modifications and Additions. The Company, at its own
expense, will make such alterations and modifications in and additions to the
Airframe and the Engines as may be required from time to time to meet the
standards of the Federal Aviation Administration or other governmental authority
having jurisdiction in any country in or over which the Aircraft is flown,
provided, however, that the Company may, in good faith, contest the validity or
application of any such standard in any reasonable manner which does not
materially adversely affect the Loan Trustee or the Lien of this Indenture, but
only so long as such proceedings do not involve any material danger of criminal
liability or material danger of civil liability to the Loan Trustee, or a
material danger of the sale, forfeiture or loss of the Aircraft or any Engine or
any interest therein. In addition, the Company, at its own expense, may from
time to time make or cause to be made such alterations and modifications in and
additions to the Airframe or any Engine as the Company may deem desirable in the
proper conduct of its business, including, without limitation, removal of Parts;
provided that no such alterations, modification, additional or removal shall
materially diminish the value or utility of the Airframe or such Engine or of
the Aircraft, or materially impair the condition or airworthiness thereof, below
the value, utility, condition and airworthiness thereof immediately prior to
such alteration, modification, addition or removal assuming the Airframe or such
Engine was then of the value and utility and in the condition and airworthiness
required to be maintained by the terms of this Indenture, except that the value
(but not the utility, condition or airworthiness) of the Aircraft may be reduced
by the value of Parts which the Company deems obsolete or no longer suitable or
appropriate for use in the Airframe or any Engine which shall have been removed,
if the aggregate value of such obsolete or unsuitable Parts removed from the
Aircraft and not replaced shall not exceed $500,000. All Parts incorporated or
installed in or attached or added to the Airframe or any Engine as the result of
such alteration, modification or addition shall, without further act, be subject
to the Lien of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may,
at any time, remove any Part; 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 to the Airframe or such Engine at the time of delivery
thereof under the Lease
50
Trust Indenture Exhibit D
(Series AB)
170
or 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 or
added to such Airframe or Engine pursuant to the first sentence of this Section
8(c), and (iii) such Part can be removed from the Airframe or such Engine
without materially diminishing or impairing the value, utility, condition or
airworthiness required to be maintained by the terms of this Indenture had such
removal not occurred. Upon the removal by the Company of any Part as provided
in the immediately preceding sentence, or the removal of any obsolete or
unsuitable part permitted by this Section 8(c), such Part shall no longer be
deemed part of the Airframe or the Engine from which it was removed and shall no
longer be subject to the Lien of this Indenture. Any such Part not removed by
the Company as provided in Section 8(c)(iii) of this Article shall remain
subject to the Lien of this Indenture.
Section 10. Loss, Destruction, Requisition, Etc. Event of Loss with
Respect to an Airframe. (a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Loss with
respect to the Airframe, the Company shall forthwith (and, in any event, within
30 days after such occurrence) give the Loan Trustee written notice of such
Event of Loss and of its election to perform one of the following options (it
being agreed that if the Company shall not have given notice of such election
within such 30 days after such occurrence, the Company shall be deemed to have
elected to perform the option set forth in the following clause (ii)):
i. as promptly as practicable, and in any event on or before the
Business Day next preceding the 121st day next following the date of
occurrence of such Event of Loss, in replacement for the Airframe, the
Company shall convey or cause to be conveyed to the Loan Trustee a security
interest in and to one or more Replacement Airframes (together with the
same number of Replacement Engines as the Engines, if any, installed on the
Airframe at the time such Event of Loss occurred), such Replacement
Airframe and Replacement Engines to be duly certificated as airworthy by
the central aviation authority of the jurisdiction of the registry of such
Replacement Airframes and Engines, free and clear of all Liens (other than
Permitted Liens), to have a value and utility at least equal to, and to be
in as good operating condition as, the Airframe and Engines, if any, so
replaced (assuming such Airframe and Engines were in the condition and
repair
51
Trust Indenture Exhibit D
(Series AB)
171
required by the terms of this Indenture); provided that, if the Company
shall not perform its obligation to effect such replacement under this
clause ( i) during the period of time provided herein, then the Company
shall promptly give notice to the Loan Trustee and shall pay on the
Business Day next following the thirtieth day after the end of such period
to the Loan Trustee, in U.S. currency, the amounts specified in clause (ii)
below; or
ii. on or before the Loss Payment Date (as defined below) the
Company shall pay to the Loan Trustee an amount in cash which is sufficient
to redeem each Outstanding Equipment Note pursuant to Section 6.01 of the
Indenture; provided that the Company may, to the extent provided and in
accordance with Section 3.08 hereof, surrender, to the Loan Trustee for
cancellation Equipment Notes held by the Company and in such event the
Company shall be entitled to a credit against amounts otherwise payable
pursuant to this clause (ii). As used herein, "Loss Payment Date" means
the earliest of ( x) 30 days following the date on which insurance proceeds
are received with respect to such Event of Loss, (y) the Business Day next
following the 121st day next following the date of occurrence of the Event
of Loss and (z) an earlier Business Day irrevocably specified by the
Company at least thirty days in advance by notice to the Loan Trustee;
provided, however, the Loss Payment Date shall be the date specified in the
proviso to clause (i) above if applicable.
Upon compliance by the Company with the requirements of this Section 10(a)(ii),
the Loan Trustee shall execute such instruments as may be reasonably requested
by the Company releasing the Airframe and Engines from the Lien of this
Indenture and releasing the Purchase Agreement and the Purchase Agreement
Assignment from the assignment and pledge thereof hereunder.
At the time of or prior to any replacement of the Airframe and such
Engines pursuant to Section 10(a)(i) of this Article, if any, the Company, at
its own expense, will (A) cause a Trust Agreement and Indenture Supplement,
substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto for such Replacement Airframe and
Replacement Engines, if any, to be delivered to the Loan Trustee for execution
and, upon such execution, to be filed for recordation pursuant to the Federal
Aviation Act or, if necessary, pursuant to the applicable
52
Trust Indenture Exhibit D
(Series AB)
172
laws of the jurisdiction other than the United States of America in which
such Replacement Aircraft and Replacement Engines, if any, are to be
registered in accordance with Section 7(a) of this Article, as the case may
be, ( B) cause a financing statement or statements with respect to the
Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, or other requisite
documents or instruments, to be filed in such place or places as necessary
or advisable in order to perfect the security interest therein created by
or pursuant to this Indenture, or, if necessary or advisable, pursuant to
the applicable laws of the jurisdiction in which such Replacement Aircraft
and Replacement Engines, if any, are to be registered in accordance with
Section 7(a) of this Article, as the case may be, (C) furnish the Loan
Trustee with a certificate of an independent aircraft engineer or appraiser
reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee certifying that the Replacement
Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, have a value and utility at least
equal to, and are in as good operating condition as, the Airframe and
Engines, if any, so replaced assuming the Airframe and Engines were in the
condition and repair required by the terms hereof immediately prior to the
occurrence of such Event of Loss, ( D) furnish the Loan Trustee with (i)
such evidence of compliance with the insurance provisions of Section 11 of
this Article with respect to such Replacement Airframe and Replacement
Engines as the Loan Trustee may reasonably request and ( ii) a certificate
from a Responsible Officer of the Company certifying that at the time of
such replacement, there is no continuing Indenture Event of Default, ( E)
furnish the Loan Trustee with an opinion of the Company's counsel (which
may be the Company's General Counsel) addressed to the Loan Trustee that
the substituted property will be subject to the Lien of this Indenture and
the Loan Trustee should be entitled to the benefits of Section 1110 of the
United States Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended, with respect to the
Replacement Airframe, provided that (x) such opinion need not be delivered
to the extent that the benefits of such Section 1110 were not, by reason of
a change in law or governmental interpretation thereof, available to the
Loan Trustee with respect to the Aircraft immediately prior to such
substitution and (y) such opinion may contain qualifications of the tenor
contained in the opinion of Debevoise & Plimpton delivered pursuant to
Section 4(J) of the Participation Agreement on the Delivery Date. In the
case of each Replacement Airframe and each Replacement Engine, if any, in
which a security interest has been granted to the Loan Trustee under this
Section 10(a), and each Replacement Engine, if any, in which a security
interest has
53
Trust Indenture Exhibit D
(Series AB)
173
been granted to the Loan Trustee under this Section 10(a), promptly
upon the recordation of the Trust Agreement and Indenture Supplement
covering such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, or
such Replacement Engine pursuant to the Federal Aviation Act (or
pursuant to the applicable laws of the jurisdiction in which such
Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, or such
Replacement Engine, are registered in accordance with Section 7(a) of
this Article), the Company will cause to be delivered to the Loan
Trustee a favorable opinion of counsel to the Company as to the due
registration of such Replacement Aircraft, the due recordation of such
Trust Agreement and Indenture Supplement or other requisite documents
or instruments and the validity and perfection of the security interest
in the Replacement Airframe, Replacement Engines or Replacement Engine,
as the case may be, granted to the Loan Trustee under this Indenture.
For all purposes hereof, upon grant of a security interest therein to
the Loan Trustee, each Replacement Aircraft and the Replacement Engines, if
any, shall be deemed part of the property secured hereunder; each such
Replacement Airframe shall be deemed an "Airframe" as defined herein, and
each such Replacement Engine shall be deemed an "Engine" as defined herein.
Upon full compliance with the terms of the previous paragraph, the Loan
Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Company an appropriate instrument
releasing such replaced airframe and engines (if any) installed thereon at
the time such Event of Loss occurred from the Lien of this Indenture and
releasing the Purchase Agreement and the Purchase Agreement Assignment from
the assignment and pledge hereunder.
(b) Event of Loss with Respect to an Engine. Upon the occurrence of
an Event of Loss with respect to an Engine under circumstances in which
there has not occurred an Event of Loss with respect to the Airframe, the
Company shall give the Loan Trustee prompt written notice thereof and
shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of such Event of Loss, convey or
cause to be conveyed to the Loan Trustee, as replacement for the Engine
with respect to which such Event of Loss occurred, a security interest in
and to a Replacement Engine free and clear of all Liens (other than
Permitted Liens) and having a value and utility at least equal to, and
being in as good operating condition as, the Engine with respect to which
such Event of Loss occurred, assuming such Engine was of the value and
utility and in the condition and repair required by the terms hereof
immedi-
54
Trust Indenture Exhibit D
(Series AB)
174
ately prior to the occurrence of such Event of Loss. Prior to or at the
time of any such conveyance, the Company, at its own expense, will (i)
cause a Trust Agreement and Indenture Supplement substantially in the form
of Exhibit C hereto or other requisite documents or instruments for such
Replacement Engine to be delivered to the Loan Trustee for execution and,
upon such execution, to be filed for recordation pursuant to the Federal
Aviation Act or, if necessary, pursuant to the applicable laws of such
jurisdiction other than the United States of America in which the Aircraft
is or is to be registered in accordance with Section 7(a), as the case may
be, (ii) furnish the Loan Trustee with a certificate of an aircraft
engineer or appraiser (who may be an employee of the Company) certifying
that such Replacement Engine has a value and utility at least equal to, and
is in as good operating condition as, the Engine so replaced, assuming such
Engine was in the condition and repair required by the terms hereof
immediately prior to the occurrence of such Event of Loss and (iii) cause a
financing statement or statements with respect to the Replacement Engine or
other requisite documents or instruments to be filed in such place or
places necessary or advisable in order to perfect the security interest in
the Replacement Engine created by or pursuant to this Indenture, or, if
necessary or advisable, pursuant to the applicable laws of the jurisdiction
in which the Aircraft is or is to be registered in accordance with Section
7(a), as the case may be, and (iv) furnish the Loan Trustee with such
evidence of compliance with the insurance provisions of Section 11 of this
Article with respect to such Replacement Engine as the Loan Trustee may
reasonably request, and (v) furnish the Loan Trustee with an opinion of the
Company's counsel (which may be the Company's General Counsel) addressed to
the Loan Trustee to the effect that such substituted property will be
subjected to the Lien of this Indenture. Upon full compliance by the
Company with the terms of this paragraph (b), the Loan Trustee will
transfer to the Company, without recourse or warranty (except as to the
Trustee's Liens), all of Loan Trustee's right, title and interest in and to
the Engine with respect to which such Event of Loss occurred, and Loan
Trustee will assign to or as directed by the Company all claims of Loan
Trustee against third Persons relating to such Engine arising from such
Event of Loss. In addition, upon such transfer the Loan Trustee shall
execute and deliver to the Company an appropriate instrument releasing such
Engine from the Lien of this Indenture and releasing the Purchase Agreement
and the Purchase Agreement Assignment (in respect of such Engine) from the
assignment and
55
Trust Indenture Exhibit D
(Series AB)
175
pledge under this Indenture. For all purposes hereof, each such
Replacement Engine shall, after such conveyance, be deemed part of the
property secured hereunder and shall be deemed an "Engine" as defined
herein.
(c) Application of Payments from Governmental Authorities for
Requisition of Title or Use. Any payments (other than insurance proceeds
the application of which is provided for in Section 11 of this Article)
received at any time by the Loan Trustee or by the Company from any
governmental authority or other Person with respect to an Event of Loss
resulting from the condemnation, confiscation, theft or seizure of, or
requisition of title to or use of, the Airframe or any Engine, other than a
requisition for use by any Government or by the government of registry of
the Aircraft not constituting an Event of Loss, will be applied as follows:
(i) if such payments are received with respect to the Airframe
or the Airframe and the Engines or engines installed on the Airframe
that has been or is being replaced by the Company pursuant to Section
10(a) of this Article, such payments shall be paid over to, or retained
by, the Loan Trustee, and upon completion of such replacement be paid
over to, or retained by, the Company;
(ii) if such payments are received with respect to the Airframe
or the Airframe and the Engines or engines installed on the Airframe
that has not been and will not be replaced pursuant to Section 10(a) of
this Article, such payments shall, after reimbursement of the Loan
Trustee for costs and expenses, be applied in reduction of the
Company's obligation to pay the amounts required to be paid by the
Company pursuant to Section 10(a) of this Article, if not already paid
by the Company, or, if already paid by the Company, shall be applied to
reimburse the Company for its payment of such amounts, and the balance,
if any, of such payments remaining thereafter shall be paid over to,
and retained by, the Company; and
(iii) if such payments are received with respect to an Engine
under circumstances contemplated by Section 10(b) of this Article, so
much of such payments remaining after reimbursement of the Loan Trustee
for costs and expenses shall be paid over to, or retained by, the
Company; provided that the Company shall have
56
Trust Indenture Exhibit D
(Series AB)
176
fully performed the terms of Section 10(b) of this Article with respect
to the Event of Loss for which such payments are made.
(d) Requisition for Use by the Government of the Airframe and the
Engines Installed Thereon. In the event of the requisition for use by any
Government or by the government of the country of registry of the Aircraft
(including for this purpose any agency or instrumentality thereof), including,
without limitation, pursuant to the Civil Reserve Air Fleet Program referred to
in Section 7(b)(iv) of this Article of the Airframe and the Engines or engines
installed on the Airframe, the Company shall promptly notify the Loan Trustee of
such requisition and, except as otherwise provided in this Indenture, such
requisition shall not constitute an Event of Loss and all of the Company's
obligations under this Indenture with respect to the Aircraft shall continue to
the same extent as if such requisition had not occurred unless or until such
requisition shall constitute an Event of Loss. All payments received by the
Loan Trustee or the Company from the Government or government for the use of the
Airframe and Engines or engines prior to the occurrence of an Event of Loss
shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Company.
(e) Requisition for Use by the Government of an Engine. In the
event of the requisition for use by any Government or by the government of the
country of registry of the Aircraft (including for this purpose any agency or
instrumentality thereof) of any Engine (but not the Airframe), the Company will
replace such Engine hereunder by complying with the terms of Section 10(b) of
this Article to the same extent as if an Event of Loss had occurred with respect
to such Engine, and any payments received by the Loan Trustee or the Company
from such Government or government with respect to such requisition shall be
paid over to, or retained by, the Company.
(f) Application of Payments During Existence of Indenture Event
of Default. Any amount referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section
10(c), Section 10(d) or Section 10(e) of this Article which is payable to the
Company shall not be paid to the Company, or if it has been previously paid
directly to the Company, shall not be retained by the Company, if at the time of
such payment an Indenture Event of Default, or an Indenture Default which would
constitute an Indenture Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), 8.01(f),
8.01(g), 8.01(h) or 8.01(i), shall
57
Trust Indenture Exhibit D
(Series AB)
177
have occurred and be continuing, but shall be paid to and held by the Loan
Trustee as security for the obligations of the Company under this Indenture, and
at such time as there shall not be continuing any such Indenture Event of
Default or event, such amount shall be paid to the Company, provided that, if
any such amount has been so held by the Loan Trustee as security for more than
90 days after an Event of Default shall have occurred and during which period
(x) the Loan Trustee shall not have been limited by operation of law or
otherwise from exercising remedies hereunder and (y) the Loan Trustee shall not
have commenced to exercise any remedy available to it under this Indenture, then
such amount shall be paid to the Company.
Section 11. Insurance. Public Liability and Property Damage
Insurance. (a) Subject to the rights of the Company to establish and maintain
self-insurance with respect to public liability and property damage liability
insurance for aircraft and engines (including, the Aircraft and Engines) in the
manner and to the extent specified in the next sentence, the Company will carry,
or cause to be carried, at no expense to the Loan Trustee, any Bank Lender or
the Pass Through Trustee, public liability (including, without limitation,
contractual liability and passenger legal liability) and property damage
liability insurance (exclusive of manufacturer's product liability insurance)
with respect to the Aircraft (i) in amounts which are not less than the public
liability and property damage insurance applicable to similar aircraft and
engines which comprise the Company's fleet on which the Company carries
insurance, provided that such liability insurance shall not be less than the
amount certified to the Original Loan Participants on the Delivery Date, (ii) of
the type usually carried by corporations engaged in the same or similar
business, similarly situated with the Company, and owning or operating similar
aircraft and engines and covering risks of the kind customarily insured against
by the Company, and (iii) which is maintained in effect with insurers of
recognized responsibility. The Company may self-insure, by way of deductible or
premium adjustment provisions in insurance policies, the risks required to be
insured against pursuant to the preceding sentence, but in no case shall the
self-insurance (including, the self- insurance permitted by Section 11(b) of
this Article) with respect to all of the aircraft and engines in the Company's
fleet (including, without limitation, the Aircraft) exceed for any 12-month
policy year the lesser of (x) 50% of the largest replacement value of any single
aircraft in the Company's fleet or (y) 1-1/2% of the average
58
Trust Indenture Exhibit D
(Series AB)
178
aggregate insurable value (for the preceding year) of all aircraft (including,
without limitation, the Aircraft) on which the Company carries insurance,
provided that, in the event that there shall have occurred a material adverse
change in the financial condition of the Company from such condition as is
reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the Company at December
31, 1982, then, upon not less than 30 days' written notice from the Loan Trustee
to the Company, the Company will, until the Company's financial condition is on
an overall basis equivalent to its financial condition at December 31, 1982,
reduce the self-insurance permitted hereunder to such reasonable amount as the
Loan Trustee may require; provided, further, that a deductible per occurrence
utilized to reduce handling that, in the case of the Aircraft, is not in excess
of the amount customarily allowed as a deductible in the industry, shall be
permitted in addition to the above-mentioned self-insurance. Any policies of
insurance carried in accordance with this Section 11(a) and any policies taken
out in substitution or replacement for any of such policies (A) shall name the
Loan Trustee, any Bank Lender or the Pass Through Trustee as additional insureds
as their respective interests may appear, (B) shall provide that in respect of
the respective interests of the Loan Trustee, any Bank Lender and the Pass
Through Trustee in such policies the insurance shall not be invalidated by any
action or inaction of the Company and shall insure the Loan Trustee's, such Bank
Lender's and the Pass Through Trustee's Interests as they appear, regardless of
any breach or violation of any warranty, declaration or condition contained in
such policies by the Company, (C) shall provide that, if such insurance is
cancelled for any reason whatever, or any substantial change is made in the
policy which affects the coverage certified hereunder to the Loan Trustee, any
Bank Lender or the Pass Through Trustee, or if such insurance is allowed to
lapse for nonpayment of premium, such cancellation, change or lapse shall not be
effective as to the Loan Trustee, such Bank Lender or the Pass Through Trustee
for 30 days (seven days, or such other period as is customarily obtainable in
the industry, in the case of any war risk and allied perils coverage) after
receipt by the Loan Trustee, such Bank Lender or the Pass Through Trustee,
respectively, of written notice from such insurers of such cancellation, change
or lapse, (D) shall provide that neither the Loan Trustee, such Bank Lender nor
the Pass Through Trustee shall have any obligation or liability for premiums,
commissions, assessments or calls in connection with such insurance, (E) shall
provide that the insurers shall waive (i) any rights
59
Trust Indenture Exhibit D
(Series AB)
179
of set-off, counterclaim or any other deduction, whether by attachment or
otherwise, which they may have against the Loan Trustee, such Bank Lender and
the Pass Through Trustee and (ii) any rights of subrogation against the Loan
Trustee, such Bank Lender or the Pass Through Trustee to the extent that the
Company has waived its rights by its agreements to indemnify any such party
pursuant to this Indenture or the Participation Agreement; provided that the
exercise by such insurers of rights of subrogation derived from the rights
retained by the Company shall not, in any way, delay payment of any claim that
would otherwise be payable by such insurers but for the existence of rights of
subrogation derived from rights retained by the Company, (F) shall be primary
without right of contribution from any other insurance which may be carried by
the Loan Trustee, any Bank Lender or the Pass Through Trustee with respect to
its Interests as such in the Aircraft and (G) shall expressly provide that all
of the provisions thereof, except the limits of liability, shall operate in the
same manner as if there were a separate policy covering each insured.
"Interests" as used in this Section 11(a) and Section 11(b) of this Article with
respect to any person means the interests of such person in its capacity as Loan
Trustee or Pass Through Trustee, as the case may be, in the transaction
contemplated by the Participation Agreement and this Indenture. The Company
shall arrange for appropriate certification that the requirements of this
Section 11(a) have been met to be made to the Loan Trustee (and the Loan Trustee
may furnish such certificates to each Loan Participant) as soon as practicable
by each insurer or its authorized representative with respect thereto, provided
that all information contained therein shall be held confidential by the Loan
Trustee and each Loan Participant and shall not be furnished or disclosed by
them to anyone other than their bank examiners, auditors, accountants, agents
and legal counsel and any Person with whom any Loan Participant is in good faith
conducting negotiations relating to the possible transfer and sale of such Loan
Participant's Equipment Notes, if such person shall have entered into an
agreement similar to that contained in this Section 11(a) whereby such person
agrees to hold such information confidential, and except as may be required by
an order of any court or administrative agency or by any statute, rule,
regulation or order of any governmental authority. In the case of a lease or
contract with any Government in respect of the Aircraft or any Engine or in the
case of any requisition for use of the Aircraft or any Engine by any Government,
a valid agreement, reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee, to
60
Trust Indenture Exhibit D
(Series AB)
180
indemnify the Company against any of the risks which the Company is required
hereunder to insure against by such Government shall be considered adequate
insurance to the extent of the risks and in the amounts that are the subject of
any such agreement to indemnify.
(b) Insurance Against Loss or Damage to Aircraft. Subject to the
rights of the Company to establish and maintain self-insurance with respect to
loss or damage to aircraft (including the Aircraft) in the manner and to the
extent specified in the next sentence, the Company shall maintain, or cause to
be maintained, in effect with insurers of recognized responsibility, at no
expense to the Loan Trustee, any Bank Lender or the Pass Through Trustee,
all-risk aircraft hull insurance covering the Aircraft and all-risk coverage
with respect to any Engines or parts while removed from the Aircraft (including,
without limitation, war risk and allied perils insurance if and to the extent
the same is maintained by the Company or any Permitted Air Carrier leasing the
same with respect to other aircraft owned or operated by the Company or such
Permitted Air Carrier, as the case may be, on the same routes) which is of the
type and in substantially the amount usually carried by corporations engaged in
the same or similar business and similarly situated with the Company; provided
that (i) such insurance (including the permitted self-insurance) shall at all
times while the Aircraft is subject to the Lien of this Indenture be for an
amount not less than, at the date of determination thereof, the Outstanding
principal amount of the Equipment Notes plus six months interest thereon and
(ii) such insurance need not cover an Engine while attached to an airframe not
owned, leased or operated by the Company. The Company may self-insure, by way
of deductible or premium adjustment provisions in insurance policies, the risks
required to be insured against pursuant to the preceding sentence, but in no
case shall the self-insurance (including the self-insurance permitted by Section
11(a) of this Article) with respect to all of the aircraft and engines in the
Company's fleet (including, without limitation, the Aircraft) exceed for any
12-month policy year the lesser of (i) 50% of the largest replacement value of
any single aircraft in the Company's fleet of (ii) 1-1/2% of the average
aggregate insurable value (for the preceding year) of all aircraft (including,
without limitation, the Aircraft) on which the Company carries insurance;
provided that, in the event that there shall have occurred a material adverse
change in the financial condition of the Company from such condition as is
reflected in the consolidated financial statements of
61
Trust Indenture Exhibit D
(Series AB)
181
the Company at December 31, 1982, then, upon not less than 30 days' written
notice from the Loan Trustee to the Company, the Company will, until the
Company's financial condition is on an overall basis equivalent to its financial
condition at December 31, 1982, reduce the self-insurance permitted hereunder to
such reasonable amount as the Loan Trustee may require; provided, further, that
a deductible per occurrence utilized to reduce handling, that, in the case of
the Aircraft, is not in excess of the amount customarily allowed as a deductible
in the industry, shall be permitted in addition to the above-mentioned
self-insurance. Any policies carried in accordance with this Section 11(b) and
any policies taken out in substitution or replacement for any such policies (A)
shall provided that any loss up to the amount equal to the Outstanding principal
amount of the Equipment Notes plus accrued interest thereon, for any loss or
damage constituting an Event of Loss with respect to the Aircraft, and any loss
in excess of $7,000,000, up to the amount equal to the Outstanding principal
amount of the Equipment Notes plus accrued interest thereon, for any loss or
damage to the Aircraft (or Engines) not constituting an Event of Loss with
respect to the Aircraft, shall be paid to the Loan Trustee as long as this
Indenture shall not have been discharged pursuant to the terms and conditions
thereof, and thereafter to the Company, unless, in each case, the insurer shall
have received notice that an Indenture Event of Default exists, in which case
all insurance proceeds up to an amount equal to the Outstanding principal amount
of the Equipment Notes plus accrued interest thereon shall be payable to the
Loan Trustee, (B) shall provide that in respect of the respective interests of
the Loan Trustee, any Bank Lender and of the Pass Through Trustee in such
policies the insurance shall not be invalidated by any action or inaction of the
Company and shall insure the Loan Trustee's, any Bank Lender's and the Pass
Through Trustee's Interests, as they appear, regardless of any breach or
violation of any warranty, declaration or condition contained in such policies
by the Company, (C) shall provide that, if such insurance is cancelled for any
reason whatever, or any material change is made in the policy which affects the
coverage certified hereunder to the Loan Trustee, any Bank Lender and the Pass
Through Trustee, or if such insurance is allowed to lapse for nonpayment of
premium, such cancellation, change or lapse shall not be effective as to the
Loan Trustee, any Bank Lender or the Pass Through Trustee, for 30 days (seven
days, or such other period as may from time to time be customarily obtainable if
the industry, in the case of any war risk and allied perils coverage) after
receipt by
62
Trust Indenture Exhibit D
(Series AB)
182
the Loan Trustee, such Bank Lender or the Pass Through Trustee, respectively, of
written notice from such insurers of such cancellation, change or lapse, (D)
shall be primary without right of contribution from any other insurance which
may be carried by the Loan Trustee, any Bank Lender and the Pass Through Trustee
with respect to the Interests as such in the Aircraft and (E) shall provide that
the insurers shall waive (i) any rights of set-off, counterclaim or any other
deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, which they may have against the
Loan Trustee, such Bank Lender or the Pass Through Trustee and (ii) any rights
of subrogation against the Loan Trustee, any Bank Lender or the Pass Through
Trustee to the extent that the Company has waived its rights by its agreements
to indemnify any such party pursuant to this indenture or the Participation
Agreement; provided that the exercise by such insurers of rights of subrogation
derived from rights retained by the Company shall not, in any way, delay payment
of any claim that would otherwise be payable by such insurers but for the
existence of rights of subrogation derived from rights retained by the Company.
The Company shall arrange for appropriate certification that the requirements of
this Section 11(b) have been met to be made promptly to the Loan Trustee (and
the Loan Trustee shall furnish such certification to each Loan Participant) by
each insurer or its authorized representative with respect thereto, provided
that all information contained therein shall be held confidential by the Loan
Trustee and each Loan Participant and shall not be furnished or disclosed by
them to anyone other than their bank examiners, auditors, accountants, agents
and legal counsel and any person with whom any Loan Participant is in good faith
conducting negotiations relating to the possible transfer and sale of such Loan
Participant's Equipment Notes, if such person shall have entered into an
agreement similar to that contained in Section 11(b) whereby such Person agrees
to hold such information confidential, and except as may be required by an order
of any court or administrative agency or by any statute, rule, regulation or
order of any governmental authority. In the case of a lease or contract with
any Government in respect of the Aircraft or any Engine, or in the case of any
requisition for use of the Aircraft or any Engine by any Government, a valid
agreement, reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee, to indemnify the Company
against any of the risks which the Company is required hereunder to insure
against by such Government in an amount, as at the date of determination
thereof, equal to the Outstanding principal amount of the Equipment Notes plus
six months interest thereon from time to time shall be considered ade-
63
Trust Indenture Exhibit D
(Series AB)
183
quate insurance to the extent of the risks and in the amounts that are the
subject of any such agreement to indemnify.
As between the Loan Trustee and the Company, it is agreed that all
insurance payments received under policies required to be maintained by the
Company hereunder, exclusive of any payments received in excess of an amount, as
at the date of determination thereof, equal to the Outstanding principal amount
of the Equipment Notes plus accrued interest thereon from such policies, as the
result of the occurrence of an Event of Loss with respect to the Airframe or an
Engine will be applied as follows:
(x) if such payments are received with respect to the Airframe or the
Airframe and any Engines or engines installed on the Airframe that has been
or is being replaced by the Company as contemplated by Section 10(a) of
this Article, such payments shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Loan
Trustee, and upon completion of such replacement be paid over to, or
retained by, the Company;
(y) if such payments are received with respect to the Airframe or the
Airframe and any Engines or engines installed thereon that has not been and
will not be replaced as contemplated by Section 10(a) of this Article, so
much of such payments remaining after reimbursement of the Loan Trustee for
costs and expenses as shall not exceed an amount, as at the date of
determination thereof, equal to the Outstanding principal amount of the
Equipment Notes plus accrued interest thereon required to be paid by the
Company pursuant to Section 10(a) of this Article shall be applied in
reduction of the Company's obligation to pay such amount equal to the
Outstanding principal amount of the Equipment Notes plus accrued interest
thereon, if not already paid by the Company, or, if already paid by the
Company, shall be applied to reimburse the Company for its payment of such
amount equal to the Outstanding principal amount of the Equipment Notes
plus accrued interest thereon, and the balance, if any, of such payment
remaining thereafter will be paid over to, or retained by, the Company; and
(z) if such payments are received with respect to an Engine under the
circumstances contemplated by Section 10(b) of this Article, so much of the
such pay-
64
Trust Indenture Exhibit D
(Series AB)
184
ments remaining after reimbursement of the Loan Trustee for costs and
expenses shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Company; provided that
the Company shall have fully performed the terms of Section 10(b) of this
Article with respect to the Event of Loss for which such payments are made.
As between the Loan Trustee and the Company the insurance payment of
any property damage loss in excess of an amount equal to the Outstanding
principal amount of the Equipment Notes plus accrued interest thereon shall be
paid to the Company.
As between the Loan Trustee and the Company the insurance payment of
any property damage loss not constituting an Event of Loss with respect to the
Airframe or an Engine will be applied in payment (or to reimburse the Company)
for repairs or for replacement property in accordance with the terms of Sections
7 and 8 of this Article, and any balance remaining after compliance with such
Sections with respect to such loss shall be paid to the Company. Any amount
referred to in the preceding sentence or in clause (x), (y) or (z) of the second
preceding paragraph which is payable to the Company shall not be paid to the
Company or, if it has been previously paid directly to the Company, shall not be
retained by the Company, if at the time of such payment an Indenture Event of
Default (or an Indenture Default that with lapse of time would constitute an
Indenture Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), 8.01(f) 8.01(g) 8.01(h)
8.01(i) of this Indenture) shall have occurred and be continuing, but shall be
paid to and held by the Loan Trustee, as security for the obligations of the
Company under this Indenture, and at such time as there shall not be continuing
any such Indenture Event of Default or event, such amount shall be paid to the
Company, provided that is any such amount has been so held by the Loan Trustee
as security for more than 90 days after an Indenture Event of Default shall have
occurred and during which period (i) the Loan Trustee shall not have been
limited by operation of law or otherwise from exercising remedies hereunder and
(ii) the Loan Trustee shall not have exercised any remedy available to it under
Section 15 of this Article, then such amount shall be paid to the Company.
(c) Reports, Etc. Annually upon renewal of the Company's insurance
coverage, the Company will furnish to the Loan Trustee (and the Loan Trustee
shall furnish to each Loan Participant) a report signed by a firm of independent
65
Trust Indenture Exhibit D
(Series AB)
185
aircraft insurance brokers appointed by the Company, stating the opinion of such
firm that the insurance then carried and maintained on the Aircraft complies
with the terms hereof; provided that all information contained in such report
shall be held confidential by the Loan Trustee and each Loan Participant and
shall not be furnished or disclosed by them to anyone other than their bank
examiners, auditors, accountants, agents and legal counsel and any Person with
whom any Loan Participants is in good faith conducting negotiations relating to
the possible transfer and sale of such Loan Participant's Equipment Notes, if
such Person shall have entered into an agreement similar to that contained in
this Section 11(c) whereby such Person agrees to hold such information
confidential, and except as may be required by an order of any court or
administrative agency or by any statute, rule, regulation or order of any
governmental authority. The Company will cause such firm to advise the Loan
Trustee, any Bank Lender or the Pass Through Trustee, in writing promptly of any
default in the payment of any premium and of any other act or omission on the
part of the Company of which such firm has knowledge and which might invalidate
or render unenforceable, in whole or in part, any insurance on the Aircraft. The
Company will also cause such firm to advise the Loan Trustee, any Bank Lender
and the Pass Through Trustee, in writing as promptly as practicable after such
firm acquires knowledge that an interruption or reduction of any insurance
carried and maintained on the Aircraft pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 11 will occur.
(d) Insurance for Own Account. Nothing in this Section 11 shall limit
or prohibit the Loan Trustee or the Company from obtaining insurance for its own
account with respect to the Airframe or any Engine and any proceeds payable
thereunder shall be payable as provided in the insurance policy relating
thereto, provided that (i) no such insurance may be obtained which would limit
or otherwise adversely affect the coverage or amounts payable under insurance
required to be maintained pursuant to this Section 11, it being understood that
all salvage rights to the Airframe or such Engine shall remain with the
Company's insurers at all times, and (ii) the Loan Trustee may obtain hull
insurance on the Aircraft only to the extent the procurement of such insurance
does not have an adverse effect on the Company's ability or cost to obtain such
insurance, except that the limitation in the foregoing clause (i) on the Loan
Trustee's right to obtain liability insurance shall not apply during any period
in which the Company is provid-
66
Trust Indenture Exhibit D
(Series AB)
186
ing a Government indemnity in lieu of the liability insurance required by
Section 11(a) of this Article and the limitations in clauses (i) and (ii) on the
Loan Trustee's rights to obtain hull insurance shall not apply during any period
in which the Company is providing a Government indemnity in lieu of the hull
insurance required by Section 11(b) of this Article.
Section 12. Inspection. At all reasonable times so long as any
Equipment Notes are outstanding, but upon at least 5 days' prior written notice
to the Company, the Loan Trustee, the Initial Bank Lender, the Pass Through
Trustee or their authorized representatives may at their own expense and risk
(including without limitation, any risk of personal injury or death) conduct a
visual walk-around inspection of the Aircraft and any Engine and may inspect the
books and records of the Company relating thereto; provided that (a) such
representative shall be fully insured to the reasonable satisfaction of the
Company at no cost to the Company with respect to any risks incurred in
connection with any such inspection, (b) any such inspection shall be subject to
the safety, security and workplace rules applicable at the location where such
inspection is conducted and any applicable governmental rules or regulations and
(c) in the case of an inspection during a maintenance visit, such inspection
shall not in any respect interfere with the normal conduct of such maintenance
visit or extend the time required for such maintenance visit. All information
obtained in connection with any such inspection shall be held confidential by
the Loan Trustee and each Loan Participant and shall not be furnished or
disclosed by them to anyone other than their accountants, agents and legal
counsel and any Person with whom any such Loan Participant is in good faith
conducting negotiations relating to the possible transfer and sale of such Loan
Participant's Equipment Notes if such Person shall have entered into an
agreement similar to that contained in this Section 12 whereby such Person
agrees to hold such information confidential, and except as may be required by
an order or administrative agency or by any statute, rule, regulation or order
of any governmental authority. Upon the Loan Trustee's request, the Company
will notify the Loan Trustee of the next scheduled "heavy maintenance" visit to
be conducted by the Company in respect of the Aircraft; provided that the
Company shall have the right in its sole discretion to reschedule, or change the
location of, any maintenance visit of which it shall have notified the Loan
Trustee pursuant to this sentence, the Company hereby agreeing to use reasonable
efforts to notify the Loan Trustee of
67
Trust Indenture Exhibit D
(Series AB)
187
any such rescheduling or change. The Loan Trustee shall not have any duty to
make such inspection and shall not incur any liability or obligation by reason
of not making any such inspection. No inspection pursuant to this Section 12
shall interfere with the use, operation or maintenance of the Aircraft or the
normal conduct of the Company's business, and the Company shall not be required
to undertake or incur any additional liabilities in connection therewith.
Section 17. Further Assurances; Financial Information. Forthwith upon
the execution and delivery of each Trust Agreement and Indenture Supplement, the
Company will cause such Trust Agreement and Indenture Supplement to be duly
filed and recorded in accordance with the Federal Aviation Act. In addition,
the Company and the Loan Trustee will promptly and duly execute and deliver to
the other party hereto such further documents and assurances and take such
further action as such other party may from time to time reasonably request in
order to effectively carry out the intent and purpose of this Indenture,
including, without limitation, if requested by the Loan Trustee, the execution
and delivery of supplements or amendments hereto, in recordable form, subjecting
to this Indenture any Replacement Airframe or Replacement Engine and the
recording or filing of counterparts hereof or thereof, in accordance with the
laws of such jurisdictions as the Loan Trustee may from time to time deem
advisable; provided that this sentence is not intended to impose upon the
Company any additional liabilities not otherwise contemplated by this Indenture.
The Company agrees to furnish the Loan Trustee (i) within 60 days after the end
of each of the first three quarterly fiscal periods in each fiscal year of the
Company, a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its consolidated
subsidiaries prepared by it as of the close of such period, together with the
related consolidated statements of income and cash flows for such period, (ii)
within 120 days after the close of each fiscal year of the Company, a
consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as
of the close of such fiscal year, together with the related consolidated
statements of income and cash flows for such fiscal year, as certified by
independent public accountants, (iii) within 120 days after the close of each
fiscal year of the Company, a certificate of the Company signed by a Responsible
Officer of the Company and addressed to the Loan Trustee to the effect that the
signer has reviewed the relevant terms of this Indenture and the Participation
Agreement and has made, or caused to be made under his supervision, a review of
the transactions and condition
68
Trust Indenture Exhibit D
(Series AB)
188
of the Company during the accounting period covered by the financial statements
referred to in clause (ii) above, and that such review has not disclosed the
existence during such accounting period, nor does the signer have knowledge of
the existence as at the date of such certificate, of any condition or event
which constitutes an Indenture Event of Default or which, after notice or lapse
of time or both, would constitute an Indenture Event of Default, or, if any such
condition or event existed or exists, specifying the nature and period of

either (i) such Person is not an ERISA Plan and that such Person is not
acquiring, and has not acquired, such Equipment Note with assets of an ERISA
Plan or (ii) one of the Underwriter Exemptions applies to such purchase. For

(Series AC)
33
the provisions applicable to such Person contained in, the Equipment Notes, the
Participation Agreement, the Refunding Agreement, the provisions herein and the

Section 2.05. Loan Participant Lists; Ownership of Equipment

furnish) to the Loan Trustee semiannually on or before each Interest Payment
Date, and at such other times as the Loan Trustee may request in writing, a
list, in such form and as of such date as the Loan Trustee may reasonably
require, containing all the information in the possession or control of the
Registrar as to the names and addresses of Loan Participants.

Amounts) of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, or Swap Breakage Loss, if any, as the
case may be, and (subject to the provisions herein regarding the applicable

the same Maturity Date, payable to the same Loan Participant in the same
principal amount and dated the same date as the Equipment Note so mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen. If the Equipment Note being replaced has become
mutilated, such Equipment Note shall be surrendered to the Loan Trustee. If
the
27
(Series AC)
34
Equipment Note being replaced has been destroyed, lost or stolen, the related
Loan Participant shall furnish to the Owner Trustee and the Loan Trustee such
security or indemnity as may be required by each of them to save the Owner
Trustee and the Loan Trustee harmless (it being understood that an unsecured
undertaking to indemnify each such party delivered in writing and in a form
reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Loan Trustee by the
Initial Bank Lender shall satisfy such requirement) and evidence satisfactory

Through Equipment Notes, the Paying Agent will, at the request of the Loan
Trustee, and may, at its option, pay such interest or Installment Payment
Amounts by check mailed to such Loan Participant's address as it appears on the
Register. The Paying Agent shall cause each payment to the Bank Lenders to be

other sums due and payable to such Loan Participant hereunder, under such
Equipment Notes, under the Participation Agreement and under the Refunding

(b) Any Installment Payment Amount payable on an Installment
Payment Date, or any interest payable on an Interest Payment Date on any
Equipment Note which is not punctually paid on, or within 5 days after, such
Installment Payment Date or such Interest Payment Date, as the case may be
(herein called, respectively, a "Defaulted Installment" and "Defaulted
Interest"), shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Loan Participant on the
relevant Record Date by virtue of its having been such Loan Participant; and
such Defaulted Installment or Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Loan

proposed payment, to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons
entitled to such Defaulted Installment or Defaulted Interest as this
clause provides and shall fix a special record date for the payment of
such Defaulted Installment or Defaulted Interest which shall be not

Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor to be mailed,
first class postage prepaid, to each Loan Participant entitled thereto
at such Loan Participant's address as it appears in the Register, not

on such special record date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to
the following clause (2).
(2) The Loan Trustee may make, or cause to be made, payment
of any Defaulted Installment or Defaulted Interest in any other lawful
manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities

default by any obligor upon the Equipment Notes in the making of any such
payment upon the Equipment Notes. The Loan Trustee at any time may require a
Paying Agent to repay to the Loan Trustee all money held by it. Upon so doing
the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money so paid.

predecessor Owner Trustee and Wilmington Trust Company shall be released from
all further duties and obligations hereunder, without prejudice to any claims
against Wilmington Trust Company or such predecessor Owner Trustee for any

amount remaining shall be insufficient to pay all such amounts in
full, such amount shall be distributed ratably without priority of any
Bank Lender over any other Bank Lender, in the proportion that the
aggregate amount due to each such Bank Lender bears to the aggregate
amount due all such Bank Lenders under this clause "seventh"; and
eighth, so much of such payments or amounts remaining
thereafter shall be distributed to the Owner Trustee to be held or
distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Agreement,

47
case, upon satisfaction of all conditions to such substitution specified in
Section 10 of the Lease, the Loan Trustee shall release all of its right,
interest and Lien in and to the Airframe or such Engine in accordance with the
provisions of the following two sentences. The Loan Trustee shall execute and
deliver to the Owner Trustee an instrument releasing its Lien in and to the

may be acquired to any penalties, forfeit or damages from or against the Loan
Trustee for failure to execute and deliver any document in connection with the
release of a Lien or to file any certificate in compliance with any law or
statute requiring the filing of the same in connection with the release of a
Lien, except for failure by the Loan Trustee to execute and deliver any
document or to file any certificate as may be specifically requested in writing
by the Owner Trustee or the Company.

the Redemption Price) any such Equipment Notes then outstanding shall cease to
bear interest. Promptly following payment of such Redemption Price with

met:
(a) such change in registration complies with the
provisions of the Lease;
(b) no Lease Event of Default and no event which, with
lapse of time or notice, or both, would become a Lease Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the date of such

counsel reasonably satisfactory to it to the effect that:
(i) after giving effect to the change in
registration, the Lien on the Aircraft and the other property
included in the Indenture Estate shall continue as a
fully-perfected Lien and all filing, recording or other action
necessary to perfect and protect the Lien of this Indenture
has been accomplished (or if such opinion cannot be given at

46
(Series AC)
53
been requested to consent to a change in registration, (x) the
opinion shall detail what filing, recording or other action is
necessary and (y) the Loan Trustee shall have received a

rights of creditors generally and by general principles of
equity, and except as limited by applicable laws which may
affect the remedies provided in the Lease and this Agreement,
respectively, which laws, however, do not in the opinion of
such counsel make the remedies provided in the Lease and this
Agreement, respectively, inadequate for the practical
realization of the rights and benefits provided thereby;
(d) the Loan Trustee shall have received assurances
reasonably satisfactory to it that the insurance provisions of the
Lease will have been complied with after giving effect to such change
in registration; and
(e) the Company shall have paid or made provision

binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the
Company in accordance with its terms, except as the same may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors
generally and by general principles of equity, and except as
limited by applicable laws which may affect the remedies
provided for in this Agreement, which laws, however, do not in
the opinion of such counsel make the remedies provided for in
this Agreement inadequate for the practical realization of the
rights and benefits provided for in this Agreement;
(ii) the Aircraft is duly registered in compliance
with applicable law under the laws of the jurisdiction in which
the Aircraft was registered immediately prior to such purchase

60
Equipment Notes as a result of the acceleration of the Equipment Notes.
Section 8.03. Other Remedies Available to Loan Trustee. (a)
After an Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred and so long as such
Indenture Event of Default shall be continuing, then and in every such case the
Loan Trustee, as trustee of an express trust and as assignee hereunder of the
Lease or as holder of a security interest in the Aircraft, Airframe or Engines
or otherwise, may, and when required pursuant to the provisions of Article 9
shall, exercise subject to Sections 8.03(b), 8.03(e), 8.03(f) and 8.03(h), upon
ten (10) Business days' prior notice to the Owner Trustee and the Owner
Participant (if not precluded by law or otherwise) any or all of the rights and
powers and pursue any and all of the remedies accorded to the Owner Trustee
pursuant to this Article 8 (and in the event that such Indenture Event of
Default is also a Lease Event of Default, pursuant to Section 15 of the Lease),
may recover judgment in its own name as Loan Trustee against the Indenture
Estate and may take possession of all or any part of the Indenture Estate and
may exclude the Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant and all persons
claiming under any of them wholly or partly.
(b) After an Indenture Event of Default shall have
occurred and so long as such Indenture Event of Default shall be continuing,
subject to Sections 8.03(e), 8.03(f) and 8.03(h), the Loan Trustee may, if at
the time such action may be lawful and always subject to compliance with any
mandatory legal requirements, either with or without taking possession, and
either before or after taking possession, and without instituting any legal
proceedings whatsoever, and having first given notice of such sale by
registered mail to the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant and the Company
once at least 10 Business Days prior to the date of such sale, and any other
notice which may be required by law, sell and dispose of the Indenture Estate,
or any part thereof, or interest therein, at public auction to the highest
bidder, in one lot as an entirety or in separate lots, and either for cash or
on credit and on such terms as the Loan Trustee may determine, and at any place
(whether or not it be the location of the Indenture Estate or any part thereof)
and time designated in the notice above referred to; provided, however, that,
notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Loan Trustee may not
provide the notice provided for above of its intention to sell any of the
Indenture Estate, exercise remedies under the Lease or exercise other remedies
against the Indenture Estate, in
54
(Series AC)
61
each case seeking to deprive the Owner Participant of its interest therein
unless a declaration of acceleration has been made pursuant to Section 8.02.
Any such sale or sales may be adjourned from time to time by announcement at
the time and place appointed for such sale or sales, or by announcement at the
time and place appointed for any such adjourned sale or sales, without further
notice, and the Loan Trustee and any Loan Participant may bid and become the
purchaser at any such sale. The Loan Trustee may exercise such right without
possession or production of the Equipment Notes or proof of ownership thereof,
and as representative of the Loan Participants may exercise such right without
notice to the Loan Participants or including the Loan Participants as parties
to any suit or proceeding relating to foreclosure of any property in the
Indenture Estate. The Owner Trustee hereby irrevocably constitutes the Loan
Trustee the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the Owner Trustee (in the name
of the Owner Trustee or otherwise) for the purpose of effectuating any sale,
assignment, transfer or delivery for enforcement of the Lien created under this
Agreement, 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 Loan Trustee may consider necessary or appropriate, with full power of
substitution, the Owner Trustee hereby ratifying and confirming all that such
attorney or any substitute shall lawfully do by virtue hereof. Nevertheless,
if so requested by the Loan Trustee or any purchaser, the Owner Trustee shall
ratify and confirm any such sale, assignment, transfer or delivery, by
executing and delivering to the Loan 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.
(c) Subject to Sections 8.03(b), 8.03(e), 8.03(f) and
8.03(h), if an Indenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Owner Trustee shall, at the request of the Loan Trustee, promptly execute and
deliver to the Loan Trustee such instruments of title or other documents as the
Loan Trustee may deem necessary or advisable to enable the Loan Trustee or an
agent or representative designated by the Loan Trustee, at such time or times
and place or places as the Loan Trustee may specify, to obtain possession of
all or any part of the Indenture Estate. If the Owner Trustee shall for any
reason fail to execute and deliver such instruments and documents after such
request by the Loan Trustee, the Loan Trustee shall be entitled to a judgment
for specific performance of the covenants contained in the foregoing sentence,
conferring upon the Loan Trustee the
55
(Series AC)
62
right to immediate possession and requiring the Owner Trustee or the Company or
both to execute and deliver such instruments and documents to the Loan Trustee.
The Loan Trustee shall also be entitled to pursue all or any part of the
Indenture Estate wherever it may be found and may enter any of the premises of
the Owner Trustee or any other Person wherever the Indenture Estate may be or
be supposed to be and search for the Indenture Estate and take possession of
any item of the Indenture Estate pursuant to this Section 8.03(c). The Loan
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 Loan Trustee shall have the right to
use, operate, store, lease, control or manage the Indenture Estate, and to
exercise all rights and powers of the Owner Trustee relating to the Indenture
Estate as the Loan Trustee shall deem appropriate, including the right to enter
into any and all such agreements with respect to the use, operation, storage,
leasing, control or management of the Indenture Estate or any part thereof; and
the Loan Trustee shall be entitled to collect and receive directly all tolls,
rents (including Rent), issues, profits, products, revenues and other income of
the Indenture Estate and every part thereof, without prejudice, however, to the
right of the Loan Trustee under any provision of this Agreement to collect and
receive all cash held by, or required to be deposited with, the Loan Trustee
hereunder. In accordance with the terms of this Section 8.03(c), such tolls,
rents (including Rent), issues, profits, products, revenues and other income
shall be applied to pay the expenses of using, operating, storing, leasing,
controlling or managing the Indenture Estate, and of all maintenance,
insurance, repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and improvements, and
to make all payments which the Loan 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, to the extent permitted by the
Lease, the Company), and all other payments which the Loan Trustee may be
required or authorized to make under any provision of this Agreement, including
this Section 8.03(c), as well as just and reasonable compensation for the
services of the Loan Trustee, and of all persons properly engaged and employed
by the Loan Trustee.

If an Indenture Event of Default occurs and is continuing and
the Loan Trustee shall have obtained possession of or title to the Aircraft,
the Loan Trustee shall not be obligated to use or operate the Aircraft or cause
the Aircraft to be used or operated directly or indirectly by itself or through
agents or other representatives or to lease, license or otherwise permit or
provide for the use or operation of the Aircraft by any other Person unless (i)
the Loan Trustee shall have been able to obtain insurance in kinds, at rates
and in amounts satisfactory to it in its discretion to protect the Indenture
Estate and the Loan Trustee, as trustee and individually, against any and all
liability for loss or damage to the Aircraft and for public liability and
property damage resulting from use or operation of the Aircraft and (ii) funds
are available in the Indenture Estate to pay for all such insurance or, in lieu
of such insurance, the Loan Trustee is furnished with indemnification from the
Loan Participants or any other Person upon terms and in amounts satisfactory to
the Loan Trustee in its discretion to protect the Indenture Estate and the Loan
Trustee, as trustee and individually, against any and all such liabilities.
(d) Subject to Sections 8.03(b), 8.03(e), 8.03(f) and
8.03(h), the Loan Trustee may proceed to protect and enforce this Agreement and
the Equipment Notes by suit or suits or proceedings in equity, at law or in
bankruptcy, and whether for the specific performance of any covenant or
agreement herein contained or in execution or aid of any power herein granted,
or for foreclosure hereunder, or for the appointment of a receiver or receivers
for the Indenture Estate or any part thereof, or for the recovery of judgment
for the indebtedness secured by the Lien created under this Agreement or for
the enforcement of any other proper, legal or equitable remedy available under
applicable law.
(e) (i) If the Company shall fail to make any payment of
Basic Rent under the Lease when the same shall become due, and if such failure
of the Company 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 a Lease Event of Default) shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee may (but need not) pay
to the Loan Trustee, at any time prior to the day which is the thirtieth day
subsequent to notice of such failure by the Loan Trustee to the Owner Trustee
or the Owner Participant (and the Loan Trustee shall not (without the prior
written
57
(Series AC)
64
consent of the Owner Trustee) 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 this Article 8 prior to the occurrence of such date), 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 to the date of
such payment (without regard to any acceleration), and such payment by the
Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to cure as of the date
of such payment any Indenture Event of Default which arose from such failure of
the Company (including any Lease Event of Default arising from the Company's
failure to pay interest in respect of such overdue Basic Rent for the period
commencing on the date of such payment), but such cure shall not relieve the
Company of any of its obligations. If the Company shall fail to perform or
observe any covenant, condition or agreement to be performed or observed by it
under the Lease other than the payment of Basic Rent, 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 (other than those arising from a Lease Event
of Default) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Owner Participant or the
Owner Trustee may (but need not) pay to the Loan Trustee (or to such other
person as may be entitled to receive the same), at any time prior to the day
which is the thirtieth day subsequent to notice of such failure by the Loan
Trustee to the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant (or such longer period
ending on the second day after the expiry of the applicable grace period
specified in the Lease with respect to such default) (and the Loan Trustee
shall not (without the prior written consent of the Owner Trustee) 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 this Article 8 prior to the
occurrence of such date), all sums necessary to effect the performance or
observance of such covenant or agreement of the Company, together with any
interest due thereon on account of the delayed payment thereof to the date of
such payment, and such payment by the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee
shall be deemed to cure as of the date of such payment any Indenture Event of
Default which arose from such failure of the Company (including any Lease Event
of Default arising from the Company's failure to pay interest in respect of
such overdue payment for the period commencing on the date of such payment),
but such cure shall not relieve the Company of any of its obligations. Upon
any payment of
58
(Series AC)
65
Basic Rent by the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee in accordance with the
first sentence of this Section 8.03(e)(i), 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(e)(i), then any declaration pursuant to
Section 15 of the Lease that the Lease is in default, and any declaration
pursuant to this Indenture that the Equipment Notes are due and payable or that
an Indenture Event of Default exists, based upon such Lease Event of Default,
shall be deemed rescinded, and 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 Loan 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 Loan 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 Loan Trustee or such other person, as aforesaid (but in each
case only if all amounts of principal of, and interest at the time due and
payable on, the Equipment Notes together with interest due 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 Company pursuant to this Section
8.03(e)(i) except by demanding of the Company payment of such amount or by
commencing an action against the Company to require the payment of such amount.
(ii) At any time (a) one or more Lease Events of Default
shall have occurred and shall have continued for a period of 180 days or more
or (b) the Equipment Notes shall have been accelerated pursuant to Section
8.02, the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant may, at its option, give at
least 30 days' prior irrevocable notice to the Loan Trustee that it will redeem
(or purchase in lieu of redemption) all Equipment Notes then outstanding, which
redemption or purchase shall be pursuant to Section 6.02 and concurrently with
such notice, the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant will deposit with the
Loan Trustee an amount sufficient to redeem or purchase at the applicable
Redemption Price determined consistently with the applicable provisions of
Section 6.02 (including, without limitation, Swap Breakage Losses, if any,
payable in respect of the Bank Equipment Notes in connection with any Indenture
Event of Default that
59
(Series AC)
66
is not a Lease Event of Default, but excluding Swap Breakage Losses, if any,
payable in respect of the Bank Equipment Notes in connection with an Indenture
Event of Default that is also a Lease Event of Default) all Equipment Notes
then Outstanding and to pay the Loan Trustee all amounts then due it hereunder,
which funds shall be held by the Loan Trustee as provided in Section 9.03.
Upon the giving of such notice and the receipt by the Loan Trustee of such
deposit, the Loan Trustee shall deem all instructions received from the Owner
Trustee or the Owner Participant as having been given by the Loan Participants
of 100% of the Outstanding principal amount of Equipment Notes for all purposes
of this Indenture. If such notice is given, the Owner Trustee further agrees
that it will, if necessary, deposit or cause to be deposited with the Loan
Trustee, on or prior to the Business Day preceding the applicable Redemption
Date, whether or not an Indenture Event of Default is then continuing,
additional funds sufficient, when added to the funds already held by the Loan
Trustee for such purpose, to redeem or purchase at the applicable Redemption
Price on such Redemption Date all Equipment Notes then outstanding and to pay
the Loan Trustee all amounts then due it hereunder. No Make-Whole Amount on
the Pass Through Equipment Notes shall be payable by the Owner Trustee in
connection with the redemption or the purchase of the Pass Through Equipment
Notes pursuant to this Section. Upon the payment of all amounts by the Owner
Trustee or the Owner Participant pursuant to this Section, the Loan Trustee
shall transfer the Equipment Notes to the Owner Trustee.
(iii) It is further agreed and understood that if the Loan
Trustee shall proceed to foreclose the Lien of this Agreement, it shall
substantially simultaneously therewith, to the extent the Loan Trustee is then
entitled to do so hereunder and under the Lease, and is not then stayed or
otherwise prevented from doing so by operation of law, proceed (to the extent
it has not already done so) to exercise one or more comparable or consistent
remedies referred to in Section 15 of the Lease (but in any case, the exercise
of such remedies shall be commercially reasonable); provided, that, if the Loan
Trustee is stayed or otherwise prevented from exercising one or more of the
remedies referred to in Section 15 of the Lease, the Loan Trustee shall not, if
and so long as such stay or other prohibition shall remain in effect, foreclose
the Lien of this Agreement (A) for a period of 60 days after the date of the
order for relief in a chapter 11 case of the Company under the Bankruptcy Code
unless the Company elects to return the Aircraft or to permit the repossession
of the Aircraft before the expiration
60
(Series AC)
67
of such 60-day period and the Loan Trustee actually repossesses the Aircraft;
(B) for so long as the Company has agreed with the approval of the relevant
court to perform the Lease in compliance with the requirements of Section
1110(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and so long after such agreement as no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing that relates to the performance
of the Lease (other than an Event of Default set forth in Section 14(g), (h) or
(i) of the Lease), provided that no such Event of Default shall be deemed to
occur earlier than the expiration of the 30-day period referred to in Section
1110(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Bankruptcy Code, as such period may be extended with
the approval, if required, of the Loan Trustee; (C) for so long as the 60-day
period specified in Section 1110(b) of the Bankruptcy Code is extended pursuant
to Section 1110(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with the consent of the Loan Trustee;
(D) for such longer period of time after the expiration of the 60-day period
referred to in, and as extended pursuant to, the preceding clause (C) (the
"Period") that the issue of the applicability of Section 1110 to the Aircraft
and Lease being disputed by the Company or the Owner Trustee or is subject to
judicial determination or pending appeal, provided that such longer period of
time shall not extend beyond 6 months after the Period unless there shall not
be continuing any default by the Company in the payment of Basic Rent, other
than a default as to which the 30-day period referred in, and as extended
pursuant to, the preceding clause (B) has not expired (it being understood that
if the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant cures any such default, such cure
shall not be considered an exercise of Lessor's cure rights for purposes of
determining the number of cures permitted under Section 8.03(e)(i) hereof); or
(E) from and after the Company's assumption with the approval of the relevant
court of the Lease pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and so long
after such assumption as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing that relates to the performance of the Lease (other than an Event of
Default set forth in Section 14(g), (h) or (i) of the Lease), and other than a
default as to which the 30-day period referred to in, and as extended pursuant
to, the preceding clause (B) has not expired; provided, however, that if such
assumption is in connection with an assignment of the Company's interest in the
Lease pursuant to Section 365(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, this clause (E) shall
have no effect unless the Loan Trustee has agreed that it has received adequate
assurance of future performance as set forth in Section 365(f)(2)(B) of the
Bankruptcy Code or (F) for so long as the Lessee retains possession of the
Aircraft, the Airframe or any Engine even
61
(Series AC)
68
though such retention of possession is not attributable to the Lessee being in
compliance with the provisions of Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code and the
Loan Trustee agrees to (without the consent of the Owner Trustee and despite
the ability of the Owner Trustee, or the Loan Trustee as the assignee of the
Owner Trustee's rights, under applicable law, to repossess the Aircraft,
Airframe or Engine) such retention of possession of the Aircraft, Airframe or
Engine. For the avoidance of doubt, it is expressly understood and agreed
that, subject to the immediately preceding sentence, the above-described
inability of the Loan Trustee to exercise any right or remedy under the Lease
shall in no event and under no circumstances prevent the Loan Trustee from
exercising all of its rights, powers and remedies under this Agreement,
including, without limitation, this Article 8. References in this subsection
(iii) to particular sections of the Bankruptcy Code as in effect on the date of
the amendment and restatement of this Indenture shall include any substantially
similar successor provisions.
(f) The Owner Trustee and the Loan Trustee acknowledge
and agree that, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, including, without limitation, the Granting Clause, Section 4.01 and
Article 8, as long as no Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, neither the Loan Trustee nor the Owner Trustee shall take any
action contrary to, or disturb the Company's rights under, the Lease,
including, without limitation, (x) the right to receive all monies due and
payable to it in accordance with the provisions of the Lease and (y) the
Company's rights to possession and use of, and to quiet enjoyment of, the
Aircraft.
(g) Each and every right, power and remedy herein given
to the Loan Trustee specifically or otherwise in this Agreement shall be
cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy
herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by
statute, and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein
given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time and as often in
such order as may be deemed expedient by the Loan Trustee, and the exercise or
the beginning of the exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to
be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other
right, power or remedy. No delay or omission by the Loan Trustee in the
exercise of any right, remedy or power or in pursuing 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
62
(Series AC)
69
Owner Trustee or the Company or to be an acquiescence therein.
(h) Notwithstanding anything contained herein, so long as
the Pass Through Trustee is the registered holder of any Equipment Note
hereunder, the Loan Trustee is not authorized or empowered to acquire title to
all or any portion of the Indenture Estate (including the property subject to
the Lien of this Indenture) or take any action with respect to all or any
portion of the Indenture Estate (including the property subject to the Lien of
this Indenture) so acquired by it if such acquisition or action would cause any
Pass Through Trust to fail to qualify as a "grantor trust" for federal income
tax purposes.
Section 8.04. Waiver of Owner Trustee. A delay or omission by
the Loan Trustee or any Loan Participant in exercising any right or remedy
accruing upon an Indenture Event of Default under this Agreement shall not
impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in such
Indenture Event of Default.
Section 8.05. Waiver of Existing Defaults. The Loan
Participants owning a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Equipment Notes by notice to the Loan Trustee may waive on behalf of the Loan
Participants an existing Indenture Default or Indenture Event of Default and
its consequences except (i) an Indenture Default or Indenture Event of Default
in the payment of the principal of, or interest on, any Equipment Note or (ii)
in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that pursuant to Section 11.02
cannot be amended or modified without the consent of each Loan Participant
affected thereby.
Section 8.06. Control by Majority. Loan Participants owning a
majority in aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Outstanding Equipment
Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for
any remedy available to the Loan Trustee or exercising any trust or power
conferred on it by this Agreement. However, the Loan Trustee may refuse to
follow any direction that conflicts with law, the Lease or this Agreement, that
is unduly prejudicial to the rights of the Loan Participants so affected, or
that would subject the Loan Trustee to personal liability.
Section 8.07. Limitation on Suits by Loan Participants. A
Loan Participant may pursue a remedy under this Agreement or under an Equipment
Note only if:
63
(Series AC)
70
(1) the Loan Participant gives to the Loan Trustee
written notice of a continuing Indenture Event of Default under this
Agreement;
(2) Loan Participants owning at least 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the outstanding Equipment Notes make a written
request to the Loan Trustee to pursue the remedy;
(3) such Loan Participant or Loan Participants offer to
the Loan Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Loan Trustee against
any loss, liability or expense to be, or which may be, incurred by the
Loan Trustee in pursuing the remedy;
(4) the Loan Trustee does not comply with the request
within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of
indemnity; and
(5) during such 60-day period, Loan Participants owning a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Equipment
Notes do not give the Loan Trustee a direction inconsistent with the
request.
A Loan Participant may not use this Agreement to prejudice the
rights of another Loan Participant or to obtain a preference or priority over
another Loan Participant.
Section 8.08. Rights of Loan Participants to Receive Payment.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the right of any Loan
Participant to receive payment of principal of, and Make-Whole Amount, if any,
or Swap Breakage Loss, if any, as the case may be, and interest on an Equipment
Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Equipment Note, to
bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective
dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Loan
Participant.

dividend or gain realized upon maturity, sale or other disposition of any
Permitted Investment made pursuant to this paragraph (b) shall be held as part
of the Indenture Estate and shall be applied by the Loan Trustee at the same
time, on the same conditions and in the same manner as the amounts in respect

the protection afforded by Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code to the

If an Indenture Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, the unpaid principal amount of the Equipment Notes may be declared
due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
If, and only if, such an event of default constitutes an event of default by
the Company under the Lease, the Loan 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.

their respective obligations in respect of the Equipment Notes (except for
certain matters, including obligations to register the transfer or exchange of
Equipment Notes, replace stolen, lost or mutilated Equipment Notes, maintain
paying agencies and hold moneys for payment in trust), and the Loan Trustee may
thereupon cause the release of the Indenture Estate from the lien of the
Indenture, if (a) the Owner Trustee deposits or causes to be deposited
irrevocably with the Loan Trustee, in trust, money or U.S. Government
Obligations which through the payment of interest and principal in respect
thereof in accordance with their terms will provide money in an amount
sufficient to pay principal of, Make Whole Amount or Swap Breakage Loss, if
any, as the case may be, and interest on the Outstanding Equipment Notes on the
dates such payments are due in accordance with the terms of such Equipment
Notes and (b) certain other conditions are satisfied, including the publication

limitations therein set forth, this Pass Through Equipment Note is
transferable, and upon surrender of this Pass Through Equipment Note for
registration of transfer at the principal corporate trust office of the

The Pass Through Equipment Notes are issuable only as
registered Equipment Notes. The Pass Through Equipment Notes are issuable in
denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof except that one such
Pass Through Equipment Note of each maturity does not need to be an integral
multiple of $1,000. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, Pass Through Equipment Notes are exchangeable
for an equal aggregate principal amount of Pass Through Equipment Notes of the
same type, having the same Maturity Date and of any authorized denominations or
transferable upon surrender of the Pass Through Equipment Notes to be exchanged
or transferred, as requested by the Loan Participant surrendering the same,
upon presentation thereof for such purpose at the principal corporate trust
office of the Registrar, or at any office or agency maintained for such
purpose.

transfer or exchange, but the Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of this
Pass Through Equipment Note, the Owner Trustee, the Loan Trustee, the Paying
Agent, the Registrar and the Company may deem and treat the person in whose
name this Pass Through Equipment Note is registered as the absolute owner

filing, recording or other action is necessary and (y) the
Loan Trustee shall have received a certificate from the
Company that all possible preparation to accomplish such

(seven days, or such other period as may from time to time be
customarily obtainable in the industry, in the case of any war risk
and allied perils coverage) after receipt of notice by the Loan
Trustee of such cancellation, change or lapse, no such failure to
carry and maintain insurance shall constitute an Indenture Event of
Default hereunder until the earlier of (i) the date such failure shall

Notes. At any time after such declaration and prior to the sale or disposition
of the Indenture Estate, the Loan Participants in a majority in aggregate
principal amount of all of the Outstanding Equipment Notes, by notice to the
Loan Trustee and the Company, may rescind such a declaration and thereby annul
its consequences if (i) an amount sufficient to pay all principal of,
Make-Whole Amount, if any, and Swap Breakage Loss, if any, and interest
thereon, at the rate prescribed therefor in such Equipment Note and interest
due or past due, if any, in respect of the Outstanding Equipment Notes plus all
other amounts payable to the Loan Participants, other than by reason of such
acceleration, and all sums due and payable to the Loan Trustee has been
deposited with the Loan Trustee, (ii) the rescission would not conflict with
any judgment or decree and (iii) all existing Indenture Defaults and Indenture
Events of Default under this Indenture have been cured or waived except
nonpayment of principal of, Swap Breakage Loss, if any, or interest on the
Equipment Notes that has become due solely because of such acceleration. No
Make-Whole Amount shall be payable on the Pass Through Equipment Notes as a
result of the acceleration of the Equipment Notes.
Section 8.03. Other Remedies Available to Loan Trustee. (a)
After an Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred and so long as the same
shall be continuing, then and in every such case the Loan Trustee, as trustee
of
22
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AC)
142
an express trust and as holder of a security interest in the Aircraft or
Engines or otherwise, may, at its option, declare this Indenture to be in
default by a written notice to the Company; and at any time thereafter, so long
as the Company shall not have remedied all outstanding Events of Default, the
Loan Trustee may do one or more of the following with respect to all or any
part of any Airframe or any Engines as the Loan Trustee in its sole discretion
shall elect, to the extent permitted by, and subject to compliance with any
mandatory requirements of, applicable law then in effect; provided, however,
that, during any period when the Aircraft is subject to the Civil Reserve Air
Fleet Program in accordance with the provisions of Section 7(b) of Article 15
hereof and in the possession of the United States government or an
instrumentality or agency thereof, and to the extent that any applicable law or
contractual provision covering the Aircraft so requires, the Loan Trustee shall
not, on account of any Indenture Event of Default, be entitled to do any of the
following in such manner as to limit the Company's control (or any lessee's
control, under any lease permitted by the terms of Section 7(b) of Article 15
hereof) of any Airframe or any Engines, unless at least 60 days' (or such
lesser period as may then be applicable under the Military Airlift Command
Program of the United States Government) prior written notice of default under
this Indenture with respect to the Company's obligations hereunder shall have
been given by the Loan Trustee by registered or certified mail to the Company
(and, if applicable, any such lessee) with a copy addressed to the Contracting
Office Representative for the Military Airlift Command of the United States Air
Force under any contract with the Company (or any such lessee) relating to the
Aircraft:
(i) cause the Company, upon the written demand of the
Loan Trustee and at the Company's expense, to return promptly, and the
Company shall return promptly, all or such part of any Airframe or any
Engine as the Loan Trustee may so demand to the Loan Trustee or its
order or the Loan Trustee, at its option, may enter upon the premises
where all or any part of such Airframe or any Engine are located and
take immediate possession of and remove the same (together with any
engine which is not an Engine but which is installed on the Airframe,
subject to all of the rights of the owner, lessor, lienor or secured
party of such engine; provided that the Airframe with an engine (which
is not an Engine) installed thereon may be flown or returned only to a
location within the continental United States, and such engine shall
be held for the account
23
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AC)
143
of any such owner, lessor, lienor or secured party or, if owned by the
Company, may, at the option of the Loan Trustee, be exchanged with the
Company for an Engine) all without liability accruing to the Loan
Trustee for or by reason of such entry or taking of possession or
removal, whether for the restoration of damage to property caused by
taking or otherwise; or
(ii) sell all or any part of any Airframe and any Engine
at public or private sale, whether or not the Loan Trustee shall at
the time have possession thereof, as the Loan Trustee may determine,
or otherwise dispose of, hold, use, operate, lease to others or keep
idle all or any part of such Airframe or such Engine as the Loan
Trustee, in its sole discretion, may determine, all free and clear of
any rights of the Company and without any duty to account to the
Company with respect to such action or inaction or for any proceeds
with respect thereto.
(b) Subject to Section 8.03(e) and Section 8.03(h), if an
Indenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Loan Trustee
may, if at the time such action may be lawful and always subject to compliance
with any mandatory legal requirements, either with or without taking
possession, and either before or after taking possession, and without
instituting any legal proceedings whatsoever, and having first given notice of
such sale by registered mail to the Company once at least thirty days prior to
the date of such sale, and any other notice which may be required by law, sell
and dispose of the Indenture Estate, or any part thereof, or interest therein,
at public auction to the highest bidder, in one lot as an entirety or in
separate lots, and either for cash or on credit and on such terms as the Loan
Trustee may determine, and at any place (whether or not it be the location of
the Indenture Estate or any part thereof) and time designated in the notice
above referred to; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any provision
herein to the contrary, the Loan Trustee shall not sell any of the Indenture
Estate unless a declaration of acceleration has been made pursuant to Section
8.02. Any such sale or sales may be adjourned from time to time by
announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale or sales, or for any
such adjourned sale or sales, without further notice, and the Loan Trustee and
any Loan Participant may bid and become the purchaser at any such sale. The
Loan Trustee may exercise such right without possession or production of the
Equipment Notes or proof of ownership thereof, and as representative of the
Loan Participants may
24
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AC)
144
exercise such right without notice to the Loan Participants or including the
Loan Participants as parties to any suit or proceeding relating to foreclosure
of any property in the Indenture Estate. The Company hereby irrevocably
constitutes the Loan Trustee the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the Company
(in the name of the Company or otherwise) for the purpose of effectuating any
sale, assignment, transfer or delivery for enforcement of the Lien created under
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 Loan Trustee may consider necessary or appropriate, with full power of
substitution, the Company hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney
or any substitute shall lawfully do by virtue hereof. Nevertheless, if so
requested by the Loan Trustee or any purchaser, the Company shall ratify and
confirm any such sale, assignment, transfer or delivery, by executing and
delivering to the Loan Trustee or such purchaser all bills of sale, assignments,
releases and such proper instruments to effect such ratification and
confirmation as may be designated in any such request.
(c) Subject to Section 8.03(e) and 8.03(h), if an Indenture
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall, at the
request the Loan Trustee, promptly execute and deliver to the Loan Trustee such
instruments of title or other documents as the Loan Trustee may deem necessary
or advisable to enable the Loan Trustee or an agent or representative
designated by the Loan Trustee, at such time or times and place or places as
the Loan Trustee may specify, to obtain possession of all or any part of the
Indenture Estate. If the Company shall for any reason fail to execute and
deliver such instruments and documents after such request by the Loan Trustee,
the Loan Trustee shall be entitled, in a proceeding to which the Company will
be a necessary party, to a judgment for specific performance of the covenants
contained in the foregoing sentence, conferring upon the Loan Trustee the right
to immediate possession and requiring the Company to execute and deliver such
instruments and documents to the Loan Trustee. The Loan Trustee shall also be
entitled to pursue all or any part of the Indenture Estate wherever it may be
found and may enter any of the premises of the Company or any other Person
wherever the Indenture Estate may be or is supposed to be and search for the
Indenture Estate and take possession of any item of the Indenture Estate
pursuant to this Section 8.03(c). The Loan Trustee may, from time to time, at
the expense of the Indenture Estate, make all such expenditures for
maintenance, insurance, repairs, replacements,
25
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AC)
145
alterations, additions and improvements to and of the Indenture Estate, as it
may deem proper. In each such case, the Loan Trustee shall have the right to
use, operate, store, lease, control or manage the Indenture Estate, and to
exercise all rights and powers of the Company relating to the Indenture Estate
as the Loan Trustee shall deem appropriate, including the right to enter into
any and all such agreements with respect to the use, operation, storage,
leasing, control or management of the Indenture Estate or any part thereof; and
the Loan Trustee shall be entitled to collect and receive directly all tolls,
rents, issues, profits, products, revenues and other income of the Indenture
Estate and every part thereof, without prejudice, however, to the right of the
Loan Trustee under any provision of this Indenture to collect and receive all
cash held by, or required to be deposited with, the Loan Trustee hereunder. In
accordance with the terms of this Section 8.03(c), such tolls, rents, issues,
profits, products, revenues and other income shall be applied to pay all
expenses of using, operating, storing, leasing, controlling or managing the
Indenture Estate, and of all maintenance, insurance, repairs, replacements,
alterations, additions and improvements, and to make all payments which the
Loan 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
Company in accordance with this Section 8.03(c)), and all other payments which
the Loan Trustee may be required or authorized to make under any provision of
this Indenture, including this Section 8.03(c), as well as just and reasonable
compensation for the services of the Loan Trustee, and of all Persons properly
engaged and employed by the Loan Trustee.
If an Indenture Event of Default occurs and is continuing and
the Loan Trustee shall have obtained possession of or title to the Aircraft,
the Loan Trustee shall not be obligated to use or operate the Aircraft or cause
the Aircraft to be used or operated directly or indirectly by itself or through
agents or other representatives or to lease, license or otherwise permit or
provide for the use or operation of the Aircraft by any other Person unless (i)
the Loan Trustee shall have been able to obtain insurance in kinds, at rates
and in amounts satisfactory to it in its discretion to protect the Indenture
Estate and the Loan Trustee, as trustee and individually, against any and all
liability for loss or damage to the Aircraft and for public liability and
property damage resulting from use or opera-
26
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AC)
146
tion of the Aircraft and (ii) funds are available in the Indenture Estate to pay
for all such insurance or, in lieu of such insurance, the Loan Trustee is
furnished with indemnification from the holders of the Equipment Notes or any
other Person upon terms and in amounts satisfactory to the Loan Trustee in its
discretion to protect the Indenture Estate and the Loan Trustee, as trustee and
individually, against any and all such liabilities.
(d) Subject to Section 8.03(e) and 8.03(h), the Loan
Trustee may proceed to protect and enforce this Indenture and the Equipment
Notes by suit or suits or proceedings in equity, at law or in bankruptcy, and
whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement herein
contained or in execution or aid of any power herein granted; or for
foreclosure hereunder, or for the appointment of a receiver or receivers for
the Indenture Estate or any part thereof, or for the recovery in judgment for
the indebtedness secured by the Lien created under this Indenture or for the
enforcement of any other proper, legal or equitable remedy available under
applicable law.
(e) Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture to
the contrary, including, without limitation, Sections 8.03(b), 8.03(c) and
8.03(d), so long as no Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Loan Trustee shall not take any action contrary to, or disturb,
the Company's rights to possession and use of, and quiet enjoyment of, the
Aircraft.
(f) Each and every right, power and remedy herein given
to the Loan Trustee specifically or otherwise in this Indenture shall be
cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy
herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by
statute, and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein
given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time and as often in
such order as may be deemed expedient by the Loan Trustee, and the exercise or
the beginning of the exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to
be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other
right, power or remedy. No delay or omission by the Loan Trustee in the
exercise of any right, remedy or power or in pursuing 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 Company or to be an acquiescence therein.
27
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AC)
147
(g) Notwithstanding any provision hereof, if any payment
of principal of any Equipment Note shall not be made when and as the same shall
become due and payable, or if any payment of interest on any Equipment Note
shall not be made when and as the same shall become due and payable, and such
failure shall continue for the period prescribed in Section 8.01(a), the Loan
Trustee shall be entitled to recover judgment, in its own name and as trustee
of an express trust, upon the Equipment Note for the whole amount of such
principal or interest, as the case may be, remaining unpaid.
(h) Notwithstanding anything contained herein, so long as
the Pass Through Trustee is the registered holder of any Equipment Note
hereunder, the Loan Trustee is not authorized or empowered to acquire title to
all or any portion of the Indenture Estate or take any action with respect to
all or any portion of the Indenture Estate so acquired by it if such
acquisition or action would cause any Pass Through Trust to fail to qualify as
a "grantor trust" for Federal income tax purposes.
Section 8.04. Waiver of Company. To the extent now or at any
time hereafter enforceable under applicable law, the Company covenants that it
will not at any time insist upon or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or
take any benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law now or at any time
hereafter in force, nor claim, take nor insist upon any benefit or advantage of
or from any law now or hereafter in force providing for the valuation or
appraisement of the Indenture Estate or any part thereof, prior to any sale or
sales thereof to be made pursuant to any provision herein contained, or to the
decree, judgment or order of any court of competent jurisdiction; nor, after
such sale or sales, claim or exercise any right under any statute now or
hereafter made or enacted by any state or otherwise to redeem the property so
sold or any part thereof, and hereby expressly waives for itself and on behalf
of each and every Person, except decree or judgment creditors of the Company
acquiring any interest in or title to the Indenture Estate or any part thereof
subsequent to the date of this Indenture, all benefit and advantage of any such
law or laws, and covenants that it will not invoke or utilize any such law or
laws or otherwise hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein
granted and delegated to the Loan Trustee, but will suffer and permit the
execution of every such power as though no such law or laws had been made or
enacted.
28
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AC)
148
The Loan Trustee may maintain such a proceeding even if it
does not possess any of the Equipment Notes or does not produce any of them in
the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Loan Trustee or any Loan
Participant in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Indenture Event
of Default under this Indenture shall not impair the right or remedy or
constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in such Indenture Event of Default.
(I) Section 9.11 thereof shall read as follows:
Section 9.11. Assumption of Certain Obligations.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, any reference
in this Article 9 to the Owner Trustee or to any obligation of the Owner
Trustee shall be deemed to be a reference to the Company or to an obligation of
the Company, as the case may be, any reference to "Lease Event of Default"
shall be deemed to be a reference to an "Indenture Event of Default," all
provisions requiring notices to the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant
shall be deemed to be deleted for the purposes of this Article 9 and any
provision in this Article 9 requiring the action or consent of the Owner
Trustee shall be deemed to require the action or approval of the Company.
(J) Sections 10.01 and 10.04 thereof shall read as
follows:
Section 10.01. Satisfaction and Discharge of Agreement;
Defeasance; Termination of Obligations. Subject to Section 10.02, this
Indenture shall cease to be of further effect, and the Company and the Loan
Trustee shall be deemed to have been discharged from their respective
obligations with respect to the Equipment Notes (and the Loan Trustee, on
demand and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in respect of the
Equipment Notes), when
(a) (i) all Equipment Notes theretofore executed and
delivered (other than (A) Equipment Notes which have been mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or exchanged as
provided in Section 2.06 and (B) Equipment Notes for the payment of
which money held in trust hereunder has been paid and discharged from
such trust, as provided in Section 7.01) have been delivered to the
Loan Trustee for cancellation; or
29
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AC)
149
(ii) all Equipment Notes not theretofore delivered to the
Loan Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable (whether upon
stated maturity, as a result of redemption or upon acceleration), or
will become due and payable (including as a result of redemption in
respect of which irrevocable notice has been given to the Loan Trustee
on or prior to the date of the deposit referred to below) at maturity
within one year, and there has been deposited with the Loan Trustee in
trust for the purpose of paying and discharging the entire indebtedness
of the Equipment Notes not theretofore cancelled by the Loan Trustee or
delivered to the Loan Trustee for cancellation, an amount in cash
sufficient without reinvestment thereof to discharge such indebtedness,
including the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, or Swap Breakage
Loss, if any, as the case may be, and interest on the Equipment Notes
to the date of such deposit (in the case of Equipment Notes which have
become due and payable), or to the maturity thereof, as the case may
be, plus all other amounts payable to the Loan Participants; or
(iii) (A) the Company has deposited or caused to be deposited
irrevocably (except as provided in Section 10.04) with the Loan
Trustee as trust funds in trust, specifically pledged as security for,
and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Loan Participants, (1)
money in an amount, or (2) U.S. Government Obligations which, through
the payment of interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance
with their terms, will provide (not later than one Business Day before
the due date of any payment referred to below in this clause) money in
an amount, or (3) a combination of money and U.S. Government
Obligations referred to in the foregoing clause (2), sufficient, in
the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent certified
public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Loan Trustee, to pay and discharge each installment
of principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, or Swap Breakage Loss, if
any, as the case maybe, and interest on the Outstanding Equipment
Notes on the dates such payments of principal or interest are due
(including as a result of redemption in respect of which irrevocable
notice has been given to the Loan Trustee on or prior to the date of
such deposit) and no Indenture Event of Default or Indenture Default
under any of Sections 8.01(f) through 8.01(i) hereof shall have
occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or at any time
during the period
30
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AC)
150
ending on the 91st day after such date; provided further that, upon
the making of the deposit referred to above in clause (A), the right
of the Company to cause the redemption of Equipment Notes (except
redemption in respect of which irrevocable notice has theretofore been
given) shall terminate;
(B) such deposit will not result in a breach or violation
of, or constitute an Indenture Default or Indenture Event of Default
under, this Indenture or a default or event of default under any other
agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it
is bound; and
(C) the Company has delivered to the Loan Trustee an
Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that
there has been published by the Internal Revenue Service a ruling to
the effect that Loan Participants will not recognize income, gain or
loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the exercise by
the Company of its option under this Section 10.01(a)(iii) and will be
subject to Federal income tax on the same amount and in the same
manner and at the same time as would have been the case if such option
had not been exercised;
(b) all other amounts then due and payable hereunder have
been paid; and
(c) the Company has delivered to the Loan Trustee an
Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all
conditions precedent provided for relating to the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture contemplated by this Section 10.01 have
been complied with.
Section 10.04. Monies to Be Returned to the Company. The
Loan Trustee and any Paying Agent shall promptly pay or return to the Company
upon request of the Company any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by
them at any time that are not required for the payment of the amounts described
above in Section 10.03 for which money or U.S. Government Obligations have been
deposited pursuant to Section 10.01.

(N) Article 14 thereof shall read as follows:
ARTICLE 14
Section 14.01. Issuance of Equipment Notes After Redemption.
Following a redemption of the Equipment Notes of any Maturity in accordance
with Section 6.02(b) hereof the Company may issue and sell and the Loan Trustee
shall authenticate, one or more new series of Equipment Notes in an aggregate
principal amount up to the aggregate principal amount of the Equipment Notes
then being redeemed and having such terms and provisions (including, without
limitation, interest rate, amortization schedule, maturity date and redemption
provisions) as the Company shall deem appropriate; provided that if after such
redemption any Equipment Notes remain outstanding the new series of Equipment
Notes:
(i) shall be denominated and payable in United States
Dollars and shall not be in a principal amount greater than the
Equipment Notes redeemed;

average life longer than the Equipment Notes redeemed if any of the
Equipment Notes remain outstanding have a maturity date after or
concurrent with the maturity date of the Equipment Notes redeemed; and
provided further, that prior to authentication and delivery of such new series
of Equipment Notes the Loan Trustee shall have received (i) written evidence
from Standard & Poor's Rating Group, a division of McGraw-Hill, Inc. and
Moody's Investors Service, Inc. to the effect that the issuance of such new
series, by itself, would not result in a downgrading of the credit rating
assigned to the Pass Through Certificates then outstanding (if any), and (ii)
an Opinion of Counsel for the Company reasonably satisfactory to the Loan
Trustee to the effect that the protection afforded by Section 1110 of the
Bankruptcy Code to the existing Loan Participants would not be adversely
affected by the issuance of such new series of Equipment Notes; provided that
such opinion need not be delivered to the extent that the benefits of such
Section 1110 are not available to the Loan Participants with respect to the
Aircraft immediately prior to such Assumption; and provided further, that such
opinion may contain qualifications of the tenor contained in the opinion of
Debevoise & Plimpton delivered
38

as such proceedings do not involve any material danger of the sale, forfeiture
or loss of the Airframe or any Engine or interest therein, (vi) Liens arising
out of judgments or awards against the Company with respect to which an appeal
or proceeding for review is being prosecuted in good faith and with respect to
which there shall have been secured a stay of execution pending such appeal or

Section 7. Registration, Maintenance and Operation;
Possession; Insignia. (a) Registration, Maintenance and Operation. The
Company, at its own cost and expense, shall:
(i) cause the Aircraft at all times to be duly registered,
under the laws of the United States, in the name of the Company, as
owner, except as otherwise required by the Federal Aviation Act;
provided that the Loan Trustee shall execute and deliver all such
documents as the Company shall reasonably request for the purpose of
effecting and continuing such registration. Notwithstanding the
preceding sentence, but subject always to the terms and conditions set
forth in Section 7.02 of this Indenture, the Company may cause the
Aircraft to be duly registered under the laws of any jurisdiction in
which a lessee pursuant to Section 7(b)(ix) of this Article could be
principally based and shall thereafter maintain such registration
unless and until changed as provided herein and therein; and the Loan
Trustee will cooperate with the company in effecting such foreign
registration;
(ii) maintain, service, repair, overhaul and test the
Aircraft in accordance with a maintenance program (as approved by
the Federal Aviation Administration) for Boeing 767-300 series
aircraft (or, at the Company's option, (x) in the event that the
Aircraft is re-registered in another jurisdiction pursuant to
Section 7(a)(i) of this Article, in accordance with an aircraft
maintenance program approved by the central civil aviation authority
of the jurisdiction of such registration or (y) in the event of any
lease to a foreign air carrier in accordance with Section 7(b)(ix) of
this Article, approved by the central civil aviation authority
of one of the jurisdictions specified in clause (y) of such
Section 7(b)(ix)) and in the same manner and with the same care
used by the Company with respect to comparable aircraft and
engines owned or operated by the Company and utilized in similar
circumstances so as to keep the Aircraft in as good operating
condition as when delivered to the Company by the Manufacturer,
ordinary wear and tear excepted, and in such condition
as may be necessary to enable the airworthiness certification of the
Aircraft to be maintained in good standing at all times (other than
during temporary periods of storage in accordance with applicable
regulations or during periods of grounding by applicable governmental
authorities, except where such periods of
40
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AC)
160
grounding are the result of the failure by the Company to maintain the
Aircraft as otherwise required herein) under the Federal Aviation Act
or, if the Aircraft is registered under the laws of any other
jurisdiction, the laws of such jurisdiction and in compliance with all
applicable manufacturer's alert service bulletins;
(iii) maintain, in the English language, all records, logs and
other materials required by the appropriate authorities in the
jurisdiction where the Aircraft is registered to be maintained in
respect of the Aircraft; and
(iv) promptly furnish to the Loan Trustee such information
as may be required to enable the Loan Trustee to file any reports,
returns or statements required to be filed by the Loan Trustee with any
governmental authority because of the Loan Trustee's interest in the
Aircraft.
The Company agrees that the Aircraft will not be maintained,
used or operated in violation of any law or any rule, regulation or order of
any government or governmental authority having jurisdiction (domestic of
foreign), or in violation of any airworthiness certificate, license or
registration relating to the Aircraft issued by any such authority; provided
that the Company shall not be in default under this sentence if it is not
possible for it to comply with the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United
States (or other than any jurisdiction in which the Aircraft is then
registered) because of a conflict with the applicable laws of the United States
(or such jurisdiction in which the Aircraft is then registered). In the event
that any such law, rule, regulation or order requires alteration of the
Aircraft, the Company will conform thereto or obtain conformance therewith at
no expense to the Loan Trustee and will maintain the Aircraft in proper
operating condition under such laws, rules, regulations and orders; provided,
however, that the Company may, in good faith, contest the validity or
application of any such law, rule, regulation or order in any reasonable manner
which does not materially adversely affect the Loan Trustee, the Aircraft, the
Loan Participants or the Lien of this Indenture. The Company also agrees not
to operate or locate the Aircraft, or suffer the Aircraft to be operated or
located, (i) in any area excluded from coverage by any insurance required by
the terms of Section 11 of this Article, except in the case of a requisition
for use by any Government where the Company obtains indemnity pursuant to
Section 11 of this Article in lieu of such insurance from
41
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AC)
161
such Government against the risks and in the amounts required by Section 11 of
this Article in lieu of such insurance from such Government against the risks
and in the amounts required by Section 11 of this Article covering such area, or
(ii) in any war zone or recognized or, in the Company's judgment, threatened
area of hostilities unless covered by war risk insurance in accordance with
Section 11 of this Article, but only so long as the same remains in effect while
the Aircraft is so operated or located, or unless the Aircraft is operated or
used under contract with any Government entered into pursuant to Section 11 of
this Article, under which contract such Government assumes liability for any
damage, loss, destruction or failure to return possession of the Aircraft at the
end of the term of such contract or for injury to persons or damage to property
of others.
(b) Possession. The Company will not, without the prior
written consent of the Loan Trustee, lease or otherwise in any manner deliver,
transfer or relinquish possession of 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 Indenture Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, and so long as the action to be taken shall not
deprive the Loan Trustee of the perfected lien of this Indenture on the
Airframe or (subject to the subclause (B) of the "provided further" clause to
subsection (i) of this Section 7(b)) any Engine, and in any event, so long as
the company shall comply with the provisions of Section 11, the Company may,
without the prior consent of the Loan Trustee:
(i) subject the Airframe to normal interchange agreements or
any Engine to normal interchange or pooling agreements or arrangements
in each case customary in the airline industry and entered into by the
Company in the ordinary course of its business with any other United
States air carrier as to which there is in force a certificate issued
pursuant to Section 401 of the Federal Aviation Act or any successor
provision that gives like authority or with any "foreign air carrier"
(as such term is defined in such Act) as to which there is in force a
permit issued pursuant to Section 402 of said Act (any such United
States certificated air carrier and any such foreign air carrier being
hereinafter called a "Permitted Air Carrier"); provided that no
transfer of the registration of such Airframe shall be effected in
connection therewith; and provided, further, that (A) no such
agreement or arrangement contemplates or requires the transfer of
title to the
42
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AC)
162
Airframe and (B) if the Company's title to any such Engine shall be
divested under any such agreement or arrangement, such divestiture
shall be deemed to be an Event of Loss with respect to such Engine and
the Company shall comply with Section 10(b) of this Article in respect
thereof;
(ii) deliver possession of the Airframe or any Engine to the
manufacturer thereof for testing or other similar purposes or to any
organization for service, repair, maintenance or overhaul work on the
Airframe or such Engine or any part thereof or for alterations or
modifications in or additions to the Airframe or such Engine to the
extent required or permitted by the terms of Section 7(a) or 8(c) of
this Article;
(iii) transfer possession of the Airframe or any Engine to the
United States of America or any instrumentality or agency thereof
pursuant to a sublease, contract or other instrument, a copy of which
shall be furnished to the Loan Trustee;
(iv) transfer possession of the Airframe or any Engine to the
United State of America or any instrumentality or agency thereof in
accordance with applicable laws, rulings, regulations or orders
(including, without limitation, the Civil Reserve Air Fleet Program
authorized under 10 U.S.C. Section 9511 et seq. or any substantially
similar program);
(v) install an Engine on an airframe owned by the Company
free and clear of all Liens, except (A) those of the type permitted
under clauses (i), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) of Section 6 of
this Article and those which apply only to the engines (other than
Engines), appliances, parts, instruments, appurtenances, accessories,
furnishings and other equipment (other than Parts) installed on such
airframe (but not to the airframe as an entirety) and (B) the rights
of other Permitted Air Carriers under normal interchange agreements
which are customary in the airline industry and do not contemplate,
permit or require the transfer of title to the airframe or engines
installed thereon;
(vi) install an Engine on an airframe leased to the Company or
owned by the Company subject to a conditional sale or other security
agreement; provided that (A) such airframe is free and clear of all
Liens except the right of the parties to the lease or con-
43
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AC)
163
ditional sale or other security agreement covering such airframe and
except Liens of the type permitted by clauses (A) and (B) of
subparagraph (v) of this paragraph of Section 7(b) of this Article and
(B) the Company shall have obtained from the lessor or secured party of
such airframe a written agreement (which may be the lease or
conditional sale or other security agreement covering such airframe),
in form and substance satisfactory to the Loan Trustee (it being
understood that an agreement from such lessor or secured party
substantially in the form of the final sentence of the penultimate
paragraph of this Section 7(b) of this Article shall be deemed to be
satisfactory to the Loan Trustee), whereby such lessor or secured party
expressly agrees that neither it nor its successors or assigns will
acquire or claim any right, title or interest in any Engine by reason
of such Engine being installed on such airframe at any time while such
Engine is subject to the lien of the Trust Indenture;
(vii) install an Engine on an airframe owned by the Company,
leased to the Company or owned by the Company subject to a conditional
sale or other security agreement under circumstances where neither
subparagraph (v) nor subparagraph (vi) of this Section 7(b) of this
Article is applicable; provided that such installation shall be deemed
an Event of Loss with respect to such Engine and the Company shall
comply with Section 10(b) of this Article in respect thereof, the Loan
Trustee not intending hereby to waive any right or interest it may
have to or in such Engine under applicable law until compliance by the
Company with such Section 10(b) of this Article;
(viii) lease any Engine or the Airframe and Engines or engines
then installed on the Airframe to any United States air carrier as to
which there is in force a certificate issued pursuant to Section 401 of
the Federal Aviation Act or successor provision that gives like
authority;
(ix) lease any Engine or the Airframe and Engines or engines
then installed on the Airframe to (A) any foreign air carrier that is
principally based in and a domiciliary of a country (other than Cuba,
El Salvador, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon and Libya) that is at the inception of
the lease a party to the Mortgage Convention, or (B) any foreign air
carrier that is principally based
44
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AC)
164
in and a domiciliary of a country listed in Schedule I hereto, or (C)
any foreign air carrier not described in clause (A) or (B) above;
provided that (w) in the case only of a lease to a foreign air carrier
under clause (C) above, the Loan Trustee receives at the time of such
lease an opinion of counsel to the Company (which counsel shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee) to the effect that (a)
the terms of the lease and the Operative Documents are legal, valid,
binding and enforceable in the country in which such air carrier is
principally based, to substantially the same extent as the Operative
Documents are at that time enforceable in the United States, (b) it is
not necessary for the Loan Trustee to qualify to do business in such
country solely as a result of the proposed lease, (c) there is no tort
liability of the Loan Trustee as a result of the Lien of this
Indenture under the laws of such country other than tort liability no
more extensive or onerous than that which might have been imposed on
the Loan Trustee under the laws of the United States or any state
thereof (it being understood that, in the event such opinion cannot be
given in a form satisfactory to the Loan Trustee, such opinion shall
be waived if insurance reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee is
provided by the Company to cover the risk of such liability), (d) the
laws of such country require fair compensation by the government of
such country for the loss of the use of the Aircraft in the event of
the requisition by such government of the Aircraft (unless the Company
shall have agreed to provide insurance reasonably satisfactory to the
Loan Trustee covering the risk of requisition of use of the Aircraft
by the government of such jurisdiction so long as the aircraft is
leased in such country), and (e) there exist no possessory rights in
favor of such lessee under the laws of such country which would, upon
bankruptcy of or other default by the Company or the lessee, prevent
the return of such Engine or the Airframe and such Engine or engine to
the Loan Trustee in accordance with and when permitted by the terms of
this Indenture upon the exercise by the Loan Trustee of its remedies
under this Indenture (x) in the case only of a lease to a foreign air
carrier under clause (C) above, the Loan Trustee receives assurances
reasonably satisfactory to it that the currency of such country is
freely convertible into U.S. Dollars (unless the Company shall have
agreed to provide the requisition insurance described in subclause (d)
of clause (w) above), (y) in the case of any lease to a foreign air
45
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AC)
165
carrier, either the lease, or an arrangement existing between the
Company, the lessee and/or one or more third parties that provide
maintenance services, provides that the Aircraft will be maintained,
serviced, repaired, overhauled and tested in accordance with
maintenance standards for Boeing 767-300 series aircraft approved by,
or substantially similar to those approved or required by, the Federal
Aviation Administration or the central civil aviation authority of any
of Brazil, Canada, France, The Federal Republic of Germany, Italy,
Japan, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland or the United Kingdom and
(z) in the case of any lease to a foreign air carrier (other than a
foreign air carrier principally based in Taiwan) the United States of
America maintains diplomatic relations with the country in which such
foreign air carrier is principally based at the time such lease is
entered into;
provided that the rights of any transferee who receives possession by reason of
a transfer permitted by this Section 7(b) (other than the transfer of an Engine
which is deemed an Event of Loss) shall be subject and subordinate to, and any
lease permitted by this Section 7(b) shall be made expressly subject and
subordinate to, all the terms of this Indenture, including, without limitation,
the Loan Trustee's rights to repossession pursuant to Article 8 hereof and to
avoid such lease upon such repossession and the Loan Trustee's rights to
possession pursuant to Section 8.03 of this Indenture, and the Company shall in
all events remain primarily liable hereunder for the performance and observance
of all of the terms and conditions of this Indenture to the same extent as if
such lease or transfer had not occurred, and any such lease shall include
appropriate provisions for the maintenance (subject to clause (y) of the
proviso to Section 7(b)(ix) of this Article) and insurance of the Aircraft.
The Company shall not lease the Aircraft to an air carrier that at the
inception of the lease is subject to bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar
proceedings unless the lease shall have been approved by the receiver,
liquidator, conservator, court or other governmental or administrative
authority or entity responsible for the adjudication or administration of such
proceedings. No interchange agreement, pooling agreement, lease or other
relinquishment of possession of the Airframe or any Engine shall in any way
discharge or diminish any of the Company's obligations to the Loan Trustee
hereunder or under the Participation Agreement. With the prior written consent
of the Loan Trustee, the Company may sublease the Airframe or En-
46
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AC)
166
gines in connection with a transaction that involves such a sublease commencing
at the inception of the transaction. The Loan Trustee hereby agrees, for the
benefit of the lessor or secured party of any airframe leased by the Company or
owned by the Company subject to a conditional sale or other security agreement,
that the Loan Trustee will not acquire or claim, as against such lessor or
secured party, any right, title or interest in any engine or engines owned 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 as the
result of such engine or engines being installed on the Airframe at any time
while such engine or engines are subject to such lease or conditional sale or
other security agreement.
The Loan Trustee acknowledges that any "wet lease" or other
similar arrangement under which the Company maintains operational control of
the Aircraft shall not constitute a delivery, transfer or relinquishment of
possession for purposes of this Section 7(b).
(c) Insignia. The Company agrees to at all times maintain in
the cockpit of the Airframe adjacent to the airworthiness certificate therein
and (if not prevented by applicable law or regulations or by any governmental
authority) on each Engine a nameplate bearing the inscription "STATE STREET
BANK AND TRUST COMPANY OF CONNECTICUT, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, AS LOAN TRUSTEE,
MORTGAGEE" (such nameplate to be replaced, if necessary, with a nameplate
reflecting the name of any successor Loan Trustee).
Section 8. Replacement and Pooling of Parts; Alterations,
Modifications and Additions. (a) Replacement of Parts. The Company, at its
own cost and expense, will promptly replace all Parts which may from time to
time be incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or any Engine
and which may from time to time become worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed,
seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or rendered permanently unfit for
use for any reason whatsoever, except as otherwise provided in Section 8(c) of
this Article. In addition, the Company may, at its own cost and expense,
remove in the ordinary course of maintenance, service, repair, overhaul or
testing, any Parts, whether or not worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized,
confiscated, damaged beyond repair or rendered permanently unfit for use;
provided that the Company, except as otherwise provided in Section 8(c) of this
Article, will, at its own cost and expense, replace such Parts as promptly as
possible. All replacement Parts shall be free and clear of all Liens (ex-
47
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AC)
167
cept for pooling arrangements to the extent permitted by Section 8(b) of this
Article and Permitted Liens) and shall be in as good operating condition as, and
shall have a value and utility at least equal to, the Parts replaced, assuming
such replaced Parts were in the condition and repair required to be maintained
by the terms hereof. All Parts at any time removed from the Airframe or any
Engine shall remain subject to the Lien of this Indenture, no matter where
located, until such time as such Parts shall be replaced by Parts which have
been incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or such Engine and
which meet the requirements for replacement Parts specified above. Immediately
upon any replacement Part becoming incorporated or installed in or attached to
the Airframe or any Engine as above provided without further act, (i) title to
the replaced Part shall thereupon be free and clear of all rights of the Loan
Trustee, and shall no longer be deemed a Part hereunder, (ii) title to such
replacement Part shall thereupon be subject to the Lien of this Indenture, free
and clear of all Liens (except for Permitted Liens) and (iii) such replacement
Part shall become subject to this Indenture and be deemed part of the Airframe
or such Engine for all purposes to the same extent as the Parts originally
incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or such Engine.
(b) Pooling of Parts. Any Part removed from the Airframe or
any Engine as provided in Section 8(a) of this Article may be subjected by the
Company to a normal pooling arrangement customary in the airline industry
entered into in the ordinary course of the Company's business with Permitted
Air Carriers; provided that the Part replacing such removed Part shall be
incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or such Engine in
accordance with Section 8(a) of this Article as promptly as practicable 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 Section 8(a) of this Article, may be owned by a Permitted Air
Carrier subject to such a normal pooling arrangement; provided that the
Company, at its expense, as promptly thereafter as is practicable, either (i)
causes title to such replacement Part to vest in the Company free and clear of
all Liens except Permitted Liens, at which time such replacement Part shall, in
accordance with Section 8(a) of this Article, become a Part and become subject
to the Lien of this Indenture or (ii) replaces such replacement Part by
incorporating or installing in or attaching to the Airframe or such Engine a
further replacement Part owned by the Com-
48
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AC)
168
pany free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens), which shall
without further act be subject to the Lien of this Indenture.
(c) Alterations, Modifications and Additions. The Company,
at its own expense, will make such alterations and modifications in and
additions to the Airframe and the Engines as may be required from time to time
to meet the standards of the Federal Aviation Administration or other
governmental authority having jurisdiction in any country in or over which the
Aircraft is flown, provided, however, that the Company may, in good faith,
contest the validity or application of any such standard in any reasonable
manner which does not materially adversely affect the Loan Trustee or the Lien
of this Indenture, but only so long as such proceedings do not involve any
material danger of criminal liability or material danger of civil liability to
the Loan Trustee, or a material danger of the sale, forfeiture or loss of the
Aircraft or any Engine or any interest therein. In addition, the Company, at
its own expense, may from time to time make or cause to be made such
alterations and modifications in and additions to the Airframe or any Engine as
the Company may deem desirable in the proper conduct of its business,
including, without limitation, removal of Parts; provided that no such
alterations, modification, additional or removal shall materially diminish the
value or utility of the Airframe or such Engine or of the Aircraft, or
materially impair the condition or airworthiness thereof, below the value,
utility, condition and airworthiness thereof immediately prior to such
alteration, modification, addition or removal assuming the Airframe or such
Engine was then of the value and utility and in the condition and airworthiness
required to be maintained by the terms of this Indenture, except that the value
(but not the utility, condition or airworthiness) of the Aircraft may be
reduced by the value of Parts which the Company deems obsolete or no longer
suitable or appropriate for use in the Airframe or any Engine which shall have
been removed, if the aggregate value of such obsolete or unsuitable Parts
removed from the Aircraft and not replaced shall not exceed $500,000. All
Parts incorporated or installed in or attached or added to the Airframe or any
Engine as the result of such alteration, modification or addition shall,
without further act, be subject to the Lien of this Indenture. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company may, at any time, remove any Part; 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 to the Airframe or
such Engine at the time of delivery thereof under the Lease
49
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AC)
169
or 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 or added to such Airframe or Engine pursuant to the first sentence of
this Section 8(c), and (iii) such Part can be removed from the Airframe or such
Engine without materially diminishing or impairing the value, utility,
condition or airworthiness required to be maintained by the terms of this
Indenture had such removal not occurred. Upon the removal by the Company of
any Part as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, or the removal of
any obsolete or unsuitable part permitted by this Section 8(c), such Part shall
no longer be deemed part of the Airframe or the Engine from which it was
removed and shall no longer be subject to the Lien of this Indenture. Any such
Part not removed by the Company as provided in Section 8(c)(iii) of this
Article shall remain subject to the Lien of this Indenture.
Section 10. Loss, Destruction, Requisition, Etc. Event of
Loss with Respect to an Airframe. (a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Loss
with respect to the Airframe, the Company shall forthwith (and, in any event,
within 30 days after such occurrence) give the Loan Trustee written notice of
such Event of Loss and of its election to perform one of the following options
(it being agreed that if the Company shall not have given notice of such
election within such 30 days after such occurrence, the Company shall be deemed
to have elected to perform the option set forth in the following clause (ii)):
i. as promptly as practicable, and in any event on or
before the Business Day next preceding the 121st day next following
the date of occurrence of such Event of Loss, in replacement for the
Airframe, the Company shall convey or cause to be conveyed to the Loan
Trustee a security interest in and to one or more Replacement
Airframes (together with the same number of Replacement Engines as the
Engines, if any, installed on the Airframe at the time such Event of
Loss occurred), such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines to
be duly certificated as airworthy by the central aviation authority of
the jurisdiction of the registry of such Replacement Airframes and
Engines, free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens), to
have a value and utility at least equal to, and to be in as good
operating condition as, the Airframe and Engines, if any, so replaced
(assuming such Airframe and Engines were in the condition and repair
required by the terms of this Indenture); provided
50
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AC)
170
that, if the Company shall not perform its obligation to effect such
replacement under this clause (i) during the period of time provided
herein, then the Company shall promptly give notice to the Loan
Trustee and shall pay on the Business Day next following the thirtieth
day after the end of such period to the Loan Trustee, in U.S.
currency, the amounts specified in clause (ii) below; or
ii. on or before the Loss Payment Date (as defined below)
the Company shall pay to the Loan Trustee an amount in cash which is
sufficient to redeem each Outstanding Equipment Note pursuant to
Section 6.01 of the Indenture; provided that the Company may, to the
extent provided and in accordance with Section 3.08 hereof, surrender,
to the Loan Trustee for cancellation Equipment Notes held by the
Company and in such event the Company shall be entitled to a credit
against amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this clause (ii). As
used herein, "Loss Payment Date" means the earliest of (x) 30 days
following the date on which insurance proceeds are received with
respect to such Event of Loss, (y) the Business Day next following the
121st day next following the date of occurrence of the Event of Loss
and (z) an earlier Business Day irrevocably specified by the Company
at least thirty days in advance by notice to the Loan Trustee;
provided, however, the Loss Payment Date shall be the date specified
in the proviso to clause (i) above if applicable.
Upon compliance by the Company with the requirements of this Section 10(a)(ii),
the Loan Trustee shall execute such instruments as may be reasonably requested
by the Company releasing the Airframe and Engines from the Lien of this
Indenture and releasing the Purchase Agreement and the Purchase Agreement
Assignment from the assignment and pledge thereof hereunder.
At the time of or prior to any replacement of the Airframe and
such Engines pursuant to Section 10(a)(i) of this Article, if any, the Company,
at its own expense, will (A) cause a Trust Agreement and Indenture Supplement,
substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto for such Replacement Airframe and
Replacement Engines, if any, to be delivered to the Loan Trustee for execution
and, upon such execution, to be filed for recordation pursuant to the Federal
Aviation Act or, if necessary, pursuant to the applicable laws of the
jurisdiction other than the United States of America in which such Replacement
Aircraft and Replacement
51
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AC)
171
Engines, if any, are to be registered in accordance with Section 7(a) of this
Article, as the case may be, (B) cause a financing statement or statements with
respect to the Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, or other
requisite documents or instruments, to be filed in such place or places as
necessary or advisable in order to perfect the security interest therein created
by or pursuant to this Indenture, or, if necessary or advisable, pursuant to the
applicable laws of the jurisdiction in which such Replacement Aircraft and
Replacement Engines, if any, are to be registered in accordance with Section
7(a) of this Article, as the case may be, (C) furnish the Loan Trustee with a
certificate of an independent aircraft engineer or appraiser reasonably
satisfactory to the Loan Trustee certifying that the Replacement Airframe and
Replacement Engines, if any, have a value and utility at least equal to, and are
in as good operating condition as, the Airframe and Engines, if any, so replaced
assuming the Airframe and Engines were in the condition and repair required by
the terms hereof immediately prior to the occurrence of such Event of Loss, (D)
furnish the Loan Trustee with (i) such evidence of compliance with the insurance
provisions of Section 11 of this Article with respect to such Replacement
Airframe and Replacement Engines as the Loan Trustee may reasonably request and
(ii) a certificate from a Responsible Officer of the Company certifying that at
the time of such replacement, there is no continuing Indenture Event of Default,
(E) furnish the Loan Trustee with an opinion of the Company's counsel (which may
be the Company's General Counsel) addressed to the Loan Trustee that the
substituted property will be subject to the Lien of this Indenture and the Loan
Trustee should be entitled to the benefits of Section 1110 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended, with respect to the Replacement Airframe,
provided that (x) such opinion need not be delivered to the extent that the
benefits of such Section 1110 were not, by reason of a change in law or
governmental interpretation thereof, available to the Loan Trustee with respect
to the Aircraft immediately prior to such substitution and (y) such opinion may
contain qualifications of the tenor contained in the opinion of Debevoise &
Plimpton delivered pursuant to Section 4(J) of the Participation Agreement on
the Delivery Date. In the case of each Replacement Airframe and each
Replacement Engine, if any, in which a security interest has been granted to the
Loan Trustee under this Section 10(a), and each Replacement Engine, if any, in
which a security interest has been granted to the Loan Trustee under this
Section 10(a), promptly upon the recordation of the Trust Agreement and
Indenture Supplement covering such Replacement Airframe and
52
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AC)
172
Replacement Engines, if any, or such Replacement Engine pursuant to the Federal
Aviation Act (or pursuant to the applicable laws of the jurisdiction in which
such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, or such Replacement
Engine, are registered in accordance with Section 7(a) of this Article), the
Company will cause to be delivered to the Loan Trustee a favorable opinion of
counsel to the Company as to the due registration of such Replacement Aircraft,
the due recordation of such Trust Agreement and Indenture Supplement or other
requisite documents or instruments and the validity and perfection of the
security interest in the Replacement Airframe, Replacement Engines or
Replacement Engine, as the case may be, granted to the Loan Trustee under this
Indenture.
For all purposes hereof, upon grant of a security interest
therein to the Loan Trustee, each Replacement Aircraft and the Replacement
Engines, if any, shall be deemed part of the property secured hereunder; each
such Replacement Airframe shall be deemed an "Airframe" as defined herein, and
each such Replacement Engine shall be deemed an "Engine" as defined herein.
Upon full compliance with the terms of the previous paragraph, the Loan Trustee
shall execute and deliver to the Company an appropriate instrument releasing
such replaced airframe and engines (if any) installed thereon at the time such
Event of Loss occurred from the Lien of this Indenture and releasing the
Purchase Agreement and the Purchase Agreement Assignment from the assignment
and pledge hereunder.
(b) Event of Loss with Respect to an Engine. Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Loss with respect to an Engine under circumstances in
which there has not occurred an Event of Loss with respect to the Airframe, the
Company shall give the Loan Trustee prompt written notice thereof and shall,
within 90 days after the occurrence of such Event of Loss, convey or cause to
be conveyed to the Loan Trustee, as replacement for the Engine with respect to
which such Event of Loss occurred, a security interest in and to a Replacement
Engine free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens) and having a
value and utility at least equal to, and being in as good operating condition
as, the Engine with respect to which such Event of Loss occurred, assuming such
Engine was of the value and utility and in the condition and repair required by
the terms hereof immediately prior to the occurrence of such Event of Loss.
Prior to or at the time of any such conveyance, the Company, at its own
expense, will (i) cause a Trust Agreement and Indenture Supplement
substantially in the form of Exhibit C
53
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AC)
173
hereto or other requisite documents or instruments for such Replacement Engine
to be delivered to the Loan Trustee for execution and, upon such execution, to
be filed for recordation pursuant to the Federal Aviation Act or, if necessary,
pursuant to the applicable laws of such jurisdiction other than the United
States of America in which the Aircraft is or is to be registered in accordance
with Section 7(a), as the case may be, (ii) furnish the Loan Trustee with a
certificate of an aircraft engineer or appraiser (who may be an employee of the
Company) certifying that such Replacement Engine has a value and utility at
least equal to, and is in as good operating condition as, the Engine so
replaced, assuming such Engine was in the condition and repair required by the
terms hereof immediately prior to the occurrence of such Event of Loss and
(iii) cause a financing statement or statements with respect to the Replacement
Engine or other requisite documents or instruments to be filed in such place or
places necessary or advisable in order to perfect the security interest in the
Replacement Engine created by or pursuant to this Indenture, or, if necessary
or advisable, pursuant to the applicable laws of the jurisdiction in which the
Aircraft is or is to be registered in accordance with Section 7(a), as the case
may be, and (iv) furnish the Loan Trustee with such evidence of compliance with
the insurance provisions of Section 11 of this Article with respect to such
Replacement Engine as the Loan Trustee may reasonably request, and (v) furnish
the Loan Trustee with an opinion of the Company's counsel (which may be the
Company's General Counsel) addressed to the Loan Trustee to the effect that
such substituted property will be subjected to the Lien of this Indenture.
Upon full compliance by the Company with the terms of this paragraph (b), the
Loan Trustee will transfer to the Company, without recourse or warranty (except
as to the Trustee's Liens), all of Loan Trustee's right, title and interest in
and to the Engine with respect to which such Event of Loss occurred, and Loan
Trustee will assign to or as directed by the Company all claims of Loan Trustee
against third Persons relating to such Engine arising from such Event of Loss.
In addition, upon such transfer the Loan Trustee shall execute and deliver to
the Company an appropriate instrument releasing such Engine from the Lien of
this Indenture and releasing the Purchase Agreement and the Purchase Agreement
Assignment (in respect of such Engine) from the assignment and pledge under
this Indenture. For all purposes hereof, each such Replacement Engine shall,
after such conveyance, be deemed part of the property secured hereunder and
shall be deemed an "Engine" as defined herein.

Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AC)
174
(c) Application of Payments from Governmental Authorities for
Requisition of Title or Use. Any payments (other than insurance proceeds the
application of which is provided for in Section 11 of this Article) received at
any time by the Loan Trustee or by the Company from any governmental authority
or other Person with respect to an Event of Loss resulting from the
condemnation, confiscation, theft or seizure of, or requisition of title to or
use of, the Airframe or any Engine, other than a requisition for use by any
Government or by the government of registry of the Aircraft not constituting an
Event of Loss, will be applied as follows:
(i) if such payments are received with respect to the
Airframe or the Airframe and the Engines or engines installed on the
Airframe that has been or is being replaced by the Company pursuant to
Section 10(a) of this Article, such payments shall be paid over to, or
retained by, the Loan Trustee, and upon completion of such replacement
be paid over to, or retained by, the Company;
(ii) if such payments are received with respect to the Airframe
or the Airframe and the Engines or engines installed on the Airframe
that has not been and will not be replaced pursuant to Section 10(a)
of this Article, such payments shall, after reimbursement of the Loan
Trustee for costs and expenses, be applied in reduction of the
Company's obligation to pay the amounts required to be paid by the
Company pursuant to Section 10(a) of this Article, if not already paid
by the Company, or, if already paid by the Company, shall be applied
to reimburse the Company for its payment of such amounts, and the
balance, if any, of such payments remaining thereafter shall be paid
over to, and retained by, the Company; and
(iii) if such payments are received with respect to an Engine
under circumstances contemplated by Section 10(b) of this Article, so
much of such payments remaining after reimbursement of the Loan
Trustee for costs and expenses shall be paid over to, or retained by,
the Company; provided that the Company shall have fully performed the
terms of Section 10(b) of this Article with respect to the Event of
Loss for which such payments are made.
(d) Requisition for Use by the Government of the Airframe and
the Engines Installed Thereon. In the event of
55
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AC)
175
the requisition for use by any Government or by the government of the country of
registry of the Aircraft (including for this purpose any agency or
instrumentality thereof), including, without limitation, pursuant to the Civil
Reserve Air Fleet Program referred to in Section 7(b)(iv) of this Article of the
Airframe and the Engines or engines installed on the Airframe, the Company shall
promptly notify the Loan Trustee of such requisition and, except as otherwise
provided in this Indenture, such requisition shall not constitute an Event of
Loss and all of the Company's obligations under this Indenture with respect to
the Aircraft shall continue to the same extent as if such requisition had not
occurred unless or until such requisition shall constitute an Event of Loss. All
payments received by the Loan Trustee or the Company from the Government or
government for the use of the Airframe and Engines or engines prior to the
occurrence of an Event of Loss shall be paid over to, or retained by, the
Company.
(e) Requisition for Use by the Government of an Engine. In
the event of the requisition for use by any Government or by the government of
the country of registry of the Aircraft (including for this purpose any agency
or instrumentality thereof) of any Engine (but not the Airframe), the Company
will replace such Engine hereunder by complying with the terms of Section 10(b)
of this Article to the same extent as if an Event of Loss had occurred with
respect to such Engine, and any payments received by the Loan Trustee or the
Company from such Government or government with respect to such requisition
shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Company.
(f) Application of Payments During Existence of Indenture
Event of Default. Any amount referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of
Section 10(c), Section 10(d) or Section 10(e) of this Article which is payable
to the Company shall not be paid to the Company, or if it has been previously
paid directly to the Company, shall not be retained by the Company, if at the
time of such payment an Indenture Event of Default, or an Indenture Default
which would constitute an Indenture Event of Default under Section 8.01(a),
8.01(f), 8.01(g), 8.01(h) or 8.01(i), shall have occurred and be continuing,
but shall be paid to and held by the Loan Trustee as security for the
obligations of the Company under this Indenture, and at such time as there
shall not be continuing any such Indenture Event of Default or event, such
amount shall be paid to the Company, provided that, if any such amount has been
so held by the Loan Trustee as security for more than 90 days after an Event of
56
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AC)
176
Default shall have occurred and during which period (x) the Loan Trustee shall
not have been limited by operation of law or otherwise from exercising remedies
hereunder and (y) the Loan Trustee shall not have commenced to exercise any
remedy available to it under this Indenture, then such amount shall be paid to
the Company.
Section 11. Insurance. Public Liability and Property Damage
Insurance. (a) Subject to the rights of the Company to establish and maintain
self-insurance with respect to public liability and property damage liability
insurance for aircraft and engines (including, the Aircraft and Engines) in the
manner and to the extent specified in the next sentence, the Company will
carry, or cause to be carried, at no expense to the Loan Trustee, any Bank
Lender or the Pass Through Trustee, public liability (including, without
limitation, contractual liability and passenger legal liability) and property
damage liability insurance (exclusive of manufacturer's product liability
insurance) with respect to the Aircraft (i) in amounts which are not less than
the public liability and property damage insurance applicable to similar
aircraft and engines which comprise the Company's fleet on which the Company
carries insurance, provided that such liability insurance shall not be less
than the amount certified to the Original Loan Participants on the Delivery
Date, (ii) of the type usually carried by corporations engaged in the same or
similar business, similarly situated with the Company, and owning or operating
similar aircraft and engines and covering risks of the kind customarily insured
against by the Company, and (iii) which is maintained in effect with insurers
of recognized responsibility. The Company may self-insure, by way of
deductible or premium adjustment provisions in insurance policies, the risks
required to be insured against pursuant to the preceding sentence, but in no
case shall the self-insurance (including, the self-insurance permitted by
Section 11(b) of this Article) with respect to all of the aircraft and engines
in the Company's fleet (including, without limitation, the Aircraft) exceed for
any 12-month policy year the lesser of (x) 50% of the largest replacement value
of any single aircraft in the Company's fleet or (y) 1-1/2% of the average
aggregate insurable value (for the preceding year) of all aircraft (including,
without limitation, the Aircraft) on which the Company carries insurance,
provided that, in the event that there shall have occurred a material adverse
change in the financial condition of the Company from such condition as is
reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the Company at December
31, 1982, then, upon not less than 30 days' written notice from the Loan
Trustee
57
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AC)
177
to the Company, the Company will, until the Company's financial condition is on
an overall basis equivalent to its financial condition at December 31, 1982,
reduce the self-insurance permitted hereunder to such reasonable amount as the
Loan Trustee may require; provided, further, that a deductible per occurrence
utilized to reduce handling that, in the case of the Aircraft, is not in excess
of the amount customarily allowed as a deductible in the industry, shall be
permitted in addition to the above-mentioned self-insurance. Any policies of
insurance carried in accordance with this Section 11(a) and any policies taken
out in substitution or replacement for any of such policies (A) shall name the
Loan Trustee, any Bank Lender or the Pass Through Trustee as additional
insureds as their respective interests may appear, (B) shall provide that in
respect of the respective interests of the Loan Trustee, any Bank Lender and
the Pass Through Trustee in such policies the insurance shall not be
invalidated by any action or inaction of the Company and shall insure the Loan
Trustee's, such Bank Lender's and the Pass Through Trustee's Interests as they
appear, regardless of any breach or violation of any warranty, declaration or
condition contained in such policies by the Company, (C) shall provide that, if
such insurance is cancelled for any reason whatever, or any substantial change
is made in the policy which affects the coverage certified hereunder to the
Loan Trustee, any Bank Lender or the Pass Through Trustee, or if such insurance
is allowed to lapse for nonpayment of premium, such cancellation, change or
lapse shall not be effective as to the Loan Trustee, such Bank Lender or the
Pass Through Trustee for 30 days (seven days, or such other period as is
customarily obtainable in the industry, in the case of any war risk and allied
perils coverage) after receipt by the Loan Trustee, such Bank Lender or the
Pass Through Trustee, respectively, of written notice from such insurers of
such cancellation, change or lapse, (D) shall provide that neither the Loan
Trustee, such Bank Lender nor the Pass Through Trustee shall have any
obligation or liability for premiums, commissions, assessments or calls in
connection with such insurance, (E) shall provide that the insurers shall waive
(i) any rights of set-off, counterclaim or any other deduction, whether by
attachment or otherwise, which they may have against the Loan Trustee, such
Bank Lender and the Pass Through Trustee and (ii) any rights of subrogation
against the Loan Trustee, such Bank Lender or the Pass Through Trustee to the
extent that the Company has waived its rights by its agreements to indemnify
any such party pursuant to this Indenture or the Participation Agreement;
provided that the exercise by such insurers of rights of subrogation derived
from the rights
58
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AC)
178
retained by the Company shall not, in any way, delay payment of any claim that
would otherwise be payable by such insurers but for the existence of rights of
subrogation derived from rights retained by the Company, (F) shall be primary
without right of contribution from any other insurance which may be carried by
the Loan Trustee, any Bank Lender or the Pass Through Trustee with respect to
its Interests as such in the Aircraft and (G) shall expressly provide that all
of the provisions thereof, except the limits of liability, shall operate in the
same manner as if there were a separate policy covering each insured.
"Interests" as used in this Section 11(a) and Section 11(b) of this Article
with respect to any person means the interests of such person in its capacity
as Loan Trustee or Pass Through Trustee, as the case may be, in the transaction
contemplated by the Participation Agreement and this Indenture. The Company
shall arrange for appropriate certification that the requirements of this
Section 11(a) have been met to be made to the Loan Trustee (and the Loan
Trustee may furnish such certificates to each Loan Participant) as soon as
practicable by each insurer or its authorized representative with respect
thereto, provided that all information contained therein shall be held
confidential by the Loan Trustee and each Loan Participant and shall not be
furnished or disclosed by them to anyone other than their bank examiners,
auditors, accountants, agents and legal counsel and any Person with whom any
Loan Participant is in good faith conducting negotiations relating to the
possible transfer and sale of such Loan Participant's Equipment Notes, if such
person shall have entered into an agreement similar to that contained in this
Section 11(a) whereby such person agrees to hold such information confidential,
and except as may be required by an order of any court or administrative agency
or by any statute, rule, regulation or order of any governmental authority. In
the case of a lease or contract with any Government in respect of the Aircraft
or any Engine or in the case of any requisition for use of the Aircraft or any
Engine by any Government, a valid agreement, reasonably satisfactory to the
Loan Trustee, to indemnify the Company against any of the risks which the
Company is required hereunder to insure against by such Government shall be
considered adequate insurance to the extent of the risks and in the amounts
that are the subject of any such agreement to indemnify.
(b) Insurance Against Loss or Damage to Aircraft. Subject to
the rights of the Company to establish and maintain self-insurance with respect
to loss or damage to aircraft (including the Aircraft) in the manner and to the
59
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AC)
179
extent specified in the next sentence, the Company shall maintain, or cause to
be maintained, in effect with insurers of recognized responsibility, at no
expense to the Loan Trustee, any Bank Lender or the Pass Through Trustee,
all-risk aircraft hull insurance covering the Aircraft and all-risk coverage
with respect to any Engines or parts while removed from the Aircraft
(including, without limitation, war risk and allied perils insurance if and to
the extent the same is maintained by the Company or any Permitted Air Carrier
leasing the same with respect to other aircraft owned or operated by the
Company or such Permitted Air Carrier, as the case may be, on the same routes)
which is of the type and in substantially the amount usually carried by
corporations engaged in the same or similar business and similarly situated
with the Company; provided that (i) such insurance (including the permitted
self- insurance) shall at all times while the Aircraft is subject to the Lien
of this Indenture be for an amount not less than, at the date of determination
thereof, the Outstanding principal amount of the Equipment Notes plus six
months interest thereon and (ii) such insurance need not cover an Engine while
attached to an airframe not owned, leased or operated by the Company. The
Company may self-insure, by way of deductible or premium adjustment provisions
in insurance policies, the risks required to be insured against pursuant to the
preceding sentence, but in no case shall the self-insurance (including the
self-insurance permitted by Section 11(a) of this Article) with respect to all
of the aircraft and engines in the Company's fleet (including, without
limitation, the Aircraft) exceed for any 12-month policy year the lesser of (i)
50% of the largest replacement value of any single aircraft in the Company's
fleet of (ii) 1-1/2% of the average aggregate insurable value (for the
preceding year) of all aircraft (including, without limitation, the Aircraft)
on which the Company carries insurance; provided that, in the event that there
shall have occurred a material adverse change in the financial condition of the
Company from such condition as is reflected in the consolidated financial
statements of the Company at December 31, 1982, then, upon not less than 30
days' written notice from the Loan Trustee to the Company, the Company will,
until the Company's financial condition is on an overall basis equivalent to
its financial condition at December 31, 1982, reduce the self-insurance
permitted hereunder to such reasonable amount as the Loan Trustee may require;
provided, further, that a deductible per occurrence utilized to reduce
handling, that, in the case of the Aircraft, is not in excess of the amount
customarily allowed as a deductible in the industry, shall be permitted in
addition to the above-mentioned self- insurance.
60
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AC)
180
Any policies carried in accordance with this Section 11(b) and any policies
taken out in substitution or replacement for any such policies (A) shall
provided that any loss up to the amount equal to the Outstanding principal
amount of the Equipment Notes plus accrued interest thereon, for any loss or
damage constituting an Event of Loss with respect to the Aircraft, and any loss
in excess of $7,000,000, up to the amount equal to the Outstanding principal
amount of the Equipment Notes plus accrued interest thereon, for any loss or
damage to the Aircraft (or Engines) not constituting an Event of Loss with
respect to the Aircraft, shall be paid to the Loan Trustee as long as this
Indenture shall not have been discharged pursuant to the terms and conditions
thereof, and thereafter to the Company, unless, in each case, the insurer shall
have received notice that an Indenture Event of Default exists, in which case
all insurance proceeds up to an amount equal to the Outstanding principal
amount of the Equipment Notes plus accrued interest thereon shall be payable to
the Loan Trustee, (B) shall provide that in respect of the respective interests
of the Loan Trustee, any Bank Lender and of the Pass Through Trustee in such
policies the insurance shall not be invalidated by any action or inaction of
the Company and shall insure the Loan Trustee's, any Bank Lender's and the Pass
Through Trustee's Interests, as they appear, regardless of any breach or
violation of any warranty, declaration or condition contained in such policies
by the Company, (C) shall provide that, if such insurance is cancelled for any
reason whatever, or any material change is made in the policy which affects the
coverage certified hereunder to the Loan Trustee, any Bank Lender and the Pass
Through Trustee, or if such insurance is allowed to lapse for nonpayment of
premium, such cancellation, change or lapse shall not be effective as to the
Loan Trustee, any Bank Lender or the Pass Through Trustee, for 30 days (seven
days, or such other period as may from time to time be customarily obtainable
if the industry, in the case of any war risk and allied perils coverage) after
receipt by the Loan Trustee, such Bank Lender or the Pass Through Trustee,
respectively, of written notice from such insurers of such cancellation, change
or lapse, (D) shall be primary without right of contribution from any other
insurance which may be carried by the Loan Trustee, any Bank Lender and the
Pass Through Trustee with respect to the Interests as such in the Aircraft and
(E) shall provide that the insurers shall waive (i) any rights of set-off,
counterclaim or any other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, which
they may have against the Loan Trustee, such Bank Lender or the Pass Through
Trustee and (ii) any rights of subrogation against the Loan Trustee, any Bank
Lender or the Pass
61
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AC)
181
Through Trustee to the extent that the Company has waived its rights by its
agreements to indemnify any such party pursuant to this indenture or the
Participation Agreement; provided that the exercise by such insurers of rights
of subrogation derived from rights retained by the Company shall not, in any
way, delay payment of any claim that would otherwise be payable by such
insurers but for the existence of rights of subrogation derived from rights
retained by the Company. The Company shall arrange for appropriate
certification that the requirements of this Section 11(b) have been met to be
made promptly to the Loan Trustee (and the Loan Trustee shall furnish such
certification to each Loan Participant) by each insurer or its authorized
representative with respect thereto, provided that all information contained
therein shall be held confidential by the Loan Trustee and each Loan
Participant and shall not be furnished or disclosed by them to anyone other
than their bank examiners, auditors, accountants, agents and legal counsel and
any person with whom any Loan Participant is in good faith conducting
negotiations relating to the possible transfer and sale of such Loan
Participant's Equipment Notes, if such person shall have entered into an
agreement similar to that contained in Section 11(b) whereby such Person agrees
to hold such information confidential, and except as may be required by an
order of any court or administrative agency or by any statute, rule, regulation
or order of any governmental authority. In the case of a lease or contract
with any Government in respect of the Aircraft or any Engine, or in the case of
any requisition for use of the Aircraft or any Engine by any Government, a
valid agreement, reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee, to indemnify the
Company against any of the risks which the Company is required hereunder to
insure against by such Government in an amount, as at the date of determination
thereof, equal to the Outstanding principal amount of the Equipment Notes plus
six months interest thereon from time to time shall be considered adequate
insurance to the extent of the risks and in the amounts that are the subject of
any such agreement to indemnify.
As between the Loan Trustee and the Company, it is agreed that
all insurance payments received under policies required to be maintained by the
Company hereunder, exclusive of any payments received in excess of an amount,

182
(x) if such payments are received with respect to the

8.01(a), 8.01(f) 8.01(g) 8.01(h) 8.01(i) of this Indenture) shall have occurred
and be continuing, but shall be paid to and held by the Loan Trustee, as
security for the obligations of the Company under this Indenture, and at such
time as there shall not be continuing any such Indenture Event of Default or

after an Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred and during which period
(i) the Loan Trustee shall not have been limited by operation of law or
otherwise from exercising remedies hereunder and (ii) the Loan Trustee shall not
have exercised any remedy available to it under Section 15 of this Article, then

Trustee shall furnish to each Loan Participant) a report signed by a firm of
independent aircraft insurance brokers appointed by the Company, stating the
opinion of such firm that the insurance then carried and maintained on the
Aircraft complies with the terms hereof; provided that all information
contained in such report shall be held confidential by the Loan Trustee and
each Loan Participant and shall not be furnished or disclosed by them to anyone
other than their bank examiners, auditors, accountants, agents and legal
counsel and any Person with whom any Loan Participants is in good faith
conducting negotiations relating to the possible transfer and sale of such Loan
Participant's Equipment Notes, if such Person shall have entered into an
agreement similar to that contained in this Section 11(c) whereby such Person
agrees to hold such information confidential, and except as may be required by
an order of any court or administrative agency or by any statute, rule,
regulation or order of any governmental author-
64
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AC)
184
ity. The Company will cause such firm to advise the Loan Trustee, any Bank
Lender or the Pass Through Trustee, in writing promptly of any default in the
payment of any premium and of any other act or omission on the part of the
Company of which such firm has knowledge and which might invalidate or render
unenforceable, in whole or in part, any insurance on the Aircraft. The Company
will also cause such firm to advise the Loan Trustee, any Bank Lender and the
Pass Through Trustee, in writing as promptly as practicable after such firm
acquires knowledge that an interruption or reduction of any insurance carried
and maintained on the Aircraft pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11
will occur.
(d) Insurance for Own Account. Nothing in this Section 11
shall limit or prohibit the Loan Trustee or the Company from obtaining
insurance for its own account with respect to the Airframe or any Engine and
any proceeds payable thereunder shall be payable as provided in the insurance
policy relating thereto, provided that (i) no such insurance may be obtained
which would limit or otherwise adversely affect the coverage or amounts payable
under insurance required to be maintained pursuant to this Section 11, it being
understood that all salvage rights to the Airframe or such Engine shall remain
with the Company's insurers at all times, and (ii) the Loan Trustee may obtain
hull insurance on the Aircraft only to the extent the procurement of such
insurance does not have an adverse effect on the Company's ability or cost to
obtain such insurance, except that the limitation in the foregoing clause (i)
on the Loan Trustee's right to obtain liability insurance shall not apply
during any period in which the Company is providing a Government indemnity in
lieu of the liability insurance required by Section 11(a) of this Article and
the limitations in clauses (i) and (ii) on the Loan Trustee's rights to obtain
hull insurance shall not apply during any period in which the Company is

Through Trustee or their authorized representatives may at their own expense
and risk (including without limitation, any risk of personal injury or death)

(a)
65
Trust Indenture Exhibit D (Series AC)
185
such representative shall be fully insured to the reasonable satisfaction of the
Company at no cost to the Company with respect to any risks incurred in
connection with any such inspection, (b) any such inspection shall be subject to
the safety, security and workplace rules applicable at the location where such
inspection is conducted and any applicable governmental rules or regulations and
(c) in the case of an inspection during a maintenance visit, such inspection
shall not in any respect interfere with the normal conduct of such maintenance
visit or extend the time required for such maintenance visit. All information
obtained in connection with any such inspection shall be held confidential by
the Loan Trustee and each Loan Participant and shall not be furnished or
disclosed by them to anyone other than their accountants, agents and legal
counsel and any Person with whom any such Loan Participant is in good faith
conducting negotiations relating to the possible transfer and sale of such Loan
Participant's Equipment Notes if such Person shall have entered into an
agreement similar to that contained in this Section 12 whereby such Person
agrees to hold such information confidential, and except as may be required by
an order or administrative agency or by any statute, rule, regulation or order
of any governmental authority. Upon the Loan Trustee's request, the Company
will notify the Loan Trustee of the next scheduled "heavy maintenance" visit to
be conducted by the Company in respect of the Aircraft; provided that the
Company shall have the right in its sole discretion to reschedule, or change the
location of, any maintenance visit of which it shall have notified the Loan
Trustee pursuant to this sentence, the Company hereby agreeing to use reasonable
efforts to notify the Loan Trustee of any such rescheduling or change. The Loan
Trustee shall not have any duty to make such inspection and shall not incur any
liability or obligation by reason of not making any such inspection. No
inspection pursuant to this Section 12 shall interfere with the use, operation
or maintenance of the Aircraft or the normal conduct of the Company's business,
and the Company shall not be required to undertake or incur any additional
liabilities in connection therewith.

the existence as at the date of such certificate, of any condition or event
which constitutes an Indenture Event of Default or which, after notice or lapse
of time or both, would constitute an Indenture Event of Default, or, if any
such condition or event existed or exists, specifying the nature and period of

by the Owner Trustee in the manner described herein and in the Indenture. The
amount of the Owner Participant's participation required to be made as above

(c) Prepayment of Certificates; Determination of Debt
Rate. Each of the Loan Participants and the Owner Participant hereby agrees
that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Participation
Agreement, the Lease, the Trust Indenture, the Certificates, or the Trust
Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Lessee, the Owner Trustee
shall not take any action with respect to the Certificates concerning the
optional prepayment of such Certificates (except as provided in Section 2.13 of
the Trust Indenture), or the selection of the Debt Rate to be borne at any time
or from time to time by such Certificates, or the Interest Periods to be
applicable to the calculation of interest on the Certificates. The Owner
Trustee hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Lessee to act as its
exclusive agent (and agrees that it will not act other than through the Lessee,
as such agent) for the purpose of selecting the durations of the Interest
Periods to be applicable from time to time to calculations of interest on the
Certificates and designating the Debt Rate from time to time to be borne on the
Certificates. Each of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Participant and each
Loan Participant hereby consents to such appointment and authorization. In
taking any actions as agent of the Owner Trustee as aforesaid, the Lessee shall
be authorized to deal directly with the Indenture Trustee and the Loan
Participants, and the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee, each Loan
Participant and the Indenture Trustee each agrees to cooperate with the Lessee
and the Original Loan Participant and otherwise to do all things and take all
actions reasonably necessary to effect the actions taken by the Lessee as the
agent of the Owner Trustee under this Section 1(c). Except to the extent
otherwise provided in Section 2.01 of the Trust Indenture, the Debt Rate
applicable to the Loan Certificates for each Interest Period shall be
determined by election of the
5

Lessee (as agent for the Owner Trustee) by delivering telephonic notice to the
Original Loan Participant (whether or not it at the time holds any Loan
Certificates), followed in each case by telexed, telecopied or other written
confirmation given so as to be effective by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on
the date of such telephonic notice (with a copy to the Indenture Trustee and
the Owner Trustee), not less than three London Business Days prior to the
beginning of the applicable Interest Period, in the case of a LIBOR Loan, and
not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the New York Business Day
immediately preceding the beginning of the applicable Interest Period, in the
case of a Short Period Rate Loan, specifying the duration of such Interest
Period and whether the Debt Rate for such Interest Period shall be determined
by reference to the LIBOR Rate or the Short Period Rate. The Indenture Trustee
shall provide to each Loan Participant other than the Original Loan Participant
a copy of any notice provided by the Lessee pursuant to the immediately
preceding sentence promptly after receipt thereof. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Lessee may only select a Short Period Rate (i) during any
period, and from time to time during such period, in which the Lessee is in
contemplation of a proposed prepayment of the Loan Certificates pursuant to
Section 2.12 or 2.14 of the Trust Indenture (whether or not a notice of
prepayment has been given pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.14 of the Trust
Indenture) or (ii) at any time when the selection of a LIBOR Rate would result
in the succeeding Interest Period commencing on a day other than the second day
of a calendar month. The Original Loan Participant (whether or not it at the
time holds any Loan Certificates) shall provide to each of the Owner
Participant, the Owner Trustee, each other Loan Participant, the Indenture
Trustee and the Lessee an officer's certificate setting forth the applicable
interest rate and the interest expected to accrue on the Loan Certificates
during the applicable Interest Period promptly after the commencement of such
Interest Period and, as soon as practicable prior to each Lease Period Date
(but in no event later than 11:00 A.M. New York City time on the Business Day
immediately preceding such Lease Period Date), shall provide such notification
of the aggregate amount of interest that will be actually due and payable on
the Loan Certificates on such Lease Period Date.

SECTION 5. Postponement of Delivery Date. (a) In the event

Trustee in accordance with the terms of Section 2 hereof, or (ii) the Owner
Participant shall for any reason fail or refuse to make the full amount of its
Commitment for the Aircraft available to the Owner Trustee in accordance with
the terms of Section 2 hereof, the Owner Trustee will forthwith give each party
hereto telex, facsimile or telegraphic notice of such default and the Delivery
Date for the Aircraft will be postponed up to the fifth succeeding Business Day

During such period, the Lessee shall have the right to find another leasing or

19

Participant or the Owner Participant, as the case may be, and shall be deemed
substituted for the non-participating Participant, for all purposes of this
Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Trust Indenture, and the Lease and to have
assumed all obligations of the non-participating Participant thereunder which
accrue after the date of execution and delivery. No action by the Lessee under
this Section 5(a) shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or release of any
right which the Lessee may have against the defaulting Participant. In the
event that the Lessee cannot find another institution to be substituted for the
non-participating Participant within such five Business Day period, then, in
such event (i) the Owner Trustee shall not accept delivery of the Aircraft and
(ii) this Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Trust Indenture, the Lease and
the Purchase Agreement Assignment and the other Operative Documents shall
terminate and be of no further force or effect except as expressly provided
herein or therein.
(b) A scheduled Delivery Date for the Aircraft may be
postponed from time to time for any reason (but no later than June 30, 1992),
other than pursuant to Section 5(a) hereof, if the Lessee gives the Owner
Participant, the Original Loan Participant, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner
Trustee telex, telegraphic, facsimile or telephonic (confirmed in writing)
notice of such postponement and notice of the date to which such Delivery Date
has been postponed, such notice of postponement to be received by each party no
later than 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on the originally scheduled Delivery
Date (and the term "Delivery Date" as used in this Agreement shall thereafter
mean such postponed "Delivery Date").
(c) In the event of any postponement of the Delivery Date
pursuant to Section 5(a) or 5(b) hereof, or if on an originally scheduled
Delivery Date not postponed as above provided the Aircraft is not delivered to
the Lessor by 3:00 P.M. or, if delivered, is not accepted by the Owner Trustee
for any reason, the Owner Trustee will return by 4:00 P.M. on such date, any
funds which it shall have received from any Participant as its Commitment for
the Aircraft, absent joint instruction from the Lessee
20
AF-1
24
and such Participant to retain funds until the specified date of postponement
established under Section 5(a) or 5(b).
(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5, no
Participant shall be under any obligation to make its Commitment available
beyond 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on June 30, 1992.

the Indenture Estate when and if the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on all Certificates held by such Loan Participant and all other sums
payable to such Loan Participant hereunder, under the Trust Indenture and under
such Certificates shall have been paid in full. By acceptance of a
Certificate, each Loan Participant agrees that it will look solely to the
income and proceeds from the Indenture Estate to the extent available for
distribution to such Loan Participant as provided in Section 2.05 of the Trust
Indenture and that neither the Owner Participant nor the Owner Trustee shall be
personally liable to such Loan Participant for any amounts payable under the
Certificates, the Trust Indenture or hereunder, except as expressly provided in
the Operative Documents.

or other agreement to which the Lessee is a party or by which it or
any of its properties may be bound or affected;

governmental authority or agency, other than the registration and

limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally
and by general principles of equity and except, in the case of the
Lease, as limited by applicable laws which may affect the remedies
provided in the Lease, which laws, however, do not make the remedies
provided in the Lease inadequate for the practical
22
AF-1
26
realization of the rights and benefits provided thereby;
(v) there are no pending or threatened actions or
proceedings before any court, governmental authority or administrative

reserves have been provided) on any assessment received by the Lessee
or any of its subsidiaries, to the extent that such taxes have become
due and payable; the Federal income tax liability, if any, of the
Lessee has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service (or the
statute of limitations has expired with respect to a redetermination

faith and for the payment of which adequate reserves have been

subsidiaries as at the end of each such fiscal year and the
consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for each such
fiscal year in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles applied on a consistent basis (except as may be noted in

material adverse

establish and perfect the Owner Trustee's interest in the Aircraft as
against the Lessee and any third parties (other than the filing of a

Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Texas), or to perfect the

LESSEE HEREBY DISCLAIMS, ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS
TO THE WORKMANSHIP, DESIGN, PATENT INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR
USE OF THE AIRCRAFT AS OF THE DELIVERY DATE. NOTHING CONTAINED IN THE

LIMIT THE LESSEE'S INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR TO EXCUSE THE PERFORMANCE
BY THE LESSEE OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER OPERATIVE
DOCUMENT OR THE BILLS OF SALE.
(b) General Indemnity. (1) Claims Defined. For the
purposes of this Section 7(b), "Claims" shall mean any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions or suits of whatsoever

of any Certificates or any interest in the Trust Estate. Without limitation of
the foregoing, the Lessee agrees to pay the reasonable ongoing fees, and the

Lessee's agreement to indemnify any Indemnitee under this Section 7(b):
(i) Any Claim to the extent caused by acts or events
occurring after the earlier of (x) the return of the Aircraft under
the Lease (it being understood that the date of the placement of the
Aircraft in storage as provided in Section 5(d) of the Lease
constitutes the date of return of the Aircraft under the Lease), and
(y) the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease under
circumstances not requiring the return of the Aircraft, unless and to
the extent such Claim is attributable to acts occurring in connection
with the exercise of remedies pursuant to Section 15 of the Lease
following the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default
thereunder;
(ii) Any Claim to the extent attributable to a Tax, or any
Claim of the Owner Participant to the extent attributable to a Loss,
whether or not Lessee is required to indemnify therefor under Section

reasonable out-of-pocket costs, disbursements and expenses incurred
with respect to Taxes for which the Lessee is required to indemnify
under Section 7(c) of this Participation Agreement;
(iii) Any Claim to the extent caused by the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its
Related Indemnitee Group (other than any gross negligence or willful
misconduct imputed as
27
AF-1
31
a matter of law to such Indemnitee solely by reason of its status as a
party to any of the Operative Documents);
(iv) Any Claim to the extent caused by the noncompliance
by such Indemnitee or any of its Related Indemnitee Group with any of
the terms of, or any misrepresentation by such Indemnitee or any of
its Related Indemnitee Group contained in, this Participation
Agreement or any other Operative Document to which such Indemnitee or
any of its Related Indemnitee Group is a party or any agreement
relating hereto or thereto (except if such representation or warranty
was based on an inaccurate representation or warranty of the Lessee);
(v) Any Claim that constitutes a Permitted Lien
attributable to such Indemnitee;
(vi) Any Claim to the extent caused by the offer, sale or
disposition (voluntary or involuntary) by or on behalf of such

the Trust Agreement, or any similar security, other than a transfer by
such Indemnitee of its interests in the Aircraft pursuant to Section
9, 10, 15 or 20 of the Lease and any related provision of the Trust
Indenture including, without limitation, Article IV thereof (it being
understood that (1) the cancellation of any Loan Certificates in
connection with a refinancing under Section 17 or 20 shall not
constitute a disposition of Loan Certificates for purposes of this
Section 7(b)(4)(vi) and (2) this Section 7(b)(4)(vi) shall not be
construed to exclude a Claim against or incurred by the Original Loan
Participant by a holder of a participation in the Original Loan
Participant's Loan Certificates which arises as a result of a Claim
against or incurred by such holder of a participation which would
otherwise be an indemnified Claim (as defined in Section 7(b)(1) and
not otherwise excluded pursuant to Section 7(b)(4)) if such Claim had
been brought directly against or incurred directly by the Original
Loan Participant; provided that the Lessee's liability hereunder with
respect to any such Claim shall under no circumstances be any greater
than such liability would have been had the Original Loan Participant
not granted any such participation);
28
AF-1
32
(vii) Any Claim to the extent caused by a failure on the
part of the Owner Trustee to distribute in accordance with the Trust
Agreement any amounts received and distributable by it thereunder;
(viii) Any Claim (other than to the extent any such Claim is
brought against the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee and the
Related Indemnitee Group of such Indemnitee) to the extent caused by a
failure on the part of the Indenture Trustee to distribute in
accordance with the Trust Indenture any amounts received and
distributable by it thereunder;
(ix) Any Claim to the extent caused by the authorization
or giving or withholding by such Indemnitee of any future amendments,
supplements, waivers or consents with respect to any of this
Participation Agreement and the other Operative Documents, other than
such as have been requested by or consented to by the Lessee, or such
that occur as a result of an Event of Default that shall have occurred
and is continuing, or such as are required or contemplated by (and, if
contemplated by, in compliance with) the provisions of the Operative
Documents in order to give effect thereto;
(x) Any Claim to the extent caused by an Indenture
Default that does not also constitute an Event of Default under the
Lease;
(xi) Any Claim that would not have arisen but for the
appointment of a successor or an additional Owner Trustee without the
consent of the Lessee;
(xii) Any Claim to the extent caused by the failure of a
Person other than the Lessee to pay a cost, fee or expense payable by
such Person in accordance with Section 9(a), 9(b), 9(c), 9(e), 9(f),
9(g), 9(j), 16(b), 16(c), or 18(b) hereof, or Section 5(d), 5(f), 9,
10, 11 or 25 of the Lease;
(xiii) Any Claim that is an ordinary and usual operating or
overhead expense other than to the extent caused by (a) the occurrence
of an Event of Default or an Event of Loss or (b) circumstances beyond
the scope of routine portfolio administration (such routine portfolio
administration to be deemed to include tax preparation and other
normally oc-
29
AF-1
33
curring administrative tasks but shall not include any administrative
obligations of the Lessee under the Operative Documents performed by
any Indemnitee);
(xiv) Any Claim to the extent that such Claim relates to
amounts payable by the Owner Trustee to the Indenture Trustee in
respect of the Break Amount, if any, payable with respect to the
Certificates as a result of (x) any prepayment of the Certificates or
purchase of the Certificates pursuant to Section 2.13 of the Trust
Indenture as a result of an Indenture Default that does not also
constitute an Event of Default or (y) an Indenture Default that does
not also constitute an Event of Default; and
(xv) Any Claim made by American Telephone and Telegraph
Company, AT&T Capital Corporation or any Affiliate of either thereof
(other than the Owner Participant), to the extent that such Claim is
based on losses suffered by or any decline in the net worth of the
Owner Participant (but only to the extent that any such losses or
decline in net worth are caused by events for which the Owner
Participant is not indemnifiable by the Lessee under the Operative
Documents).
A limitation on the Claims of one Indemnitee under this Section 7(b)(4) shall
not provide a basis for limiting any Claim of any other Indemnitee.
(5) Insured Claims. In the case of any Claim indemnified by
the Lessee hereunder which is covered by a policy of insurance maintained by
the Lessee pursuant to Section 11 of the Lease, each Indemnitee agrees to
cooperate, at the Lessee's expense, with the insurers in the exercise of their
rights to investigate, defend or compromise such Claim as may be required to
retain the benefits of such insurance with respect to such Claim.
(6) Claims Procedure. An Indemnitee shall promptly notify
the Lessee of any Claim as to which indemnification is sought provided that the
failure to provide such prompt notice shall not release the Lessee from any of
its obligations to indemnify hereunder. Any amount payable to any Indemnitee
pursuant to this Section 7(b) shall be paid within thirty days after receipt of
a written demand therefor from such Indemnitee accompanied by a written
statement describing in reasonable detail the
30
AF-1
34
Claims which are the subject of and basis for such indemnity and the
computation of the amount so payable. Subject to the rights of insurers under
policies of insurance maintained pursuant to Section 11 of the Lease, so long
as no Event of Default under Section 14(f), 14(g), 14(h) or 14(i) of the Lease
shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lessee (at its sole cost and
expense) shall have the right to investigate, and the right in its sole
discretion to defend or compromise, any Claim for which indemnification is
sought under this Section 7(b), and the Indemnitee shall cooperate, at the
Lessee's expense, with all reasonable requests of the Lessee in connection
therewith; provided, however, that so long as an Event of Default under Section
14(a) of the Lease has occurred and is continuing, such Indemnitee shall have
the right, along with the concomitant right of the Lessee, to investigate,
defend or compromise any such Claim. The Lessee will provide the Indemnitee
with such information not within the control of such Indemnitee, as is in the
Lessee's control or as reasonably available to the Lessee, which such
Indemnitee may reasonably request and shall otherwise cooperate with such
Indemnitee so as to enable such Indemnitee to fulfill its obligations under
this Section 7(b)(6). Where the Lessee or the insurers under a policy of
insurance maintained by the Lessee undertake the defense of an Indemnitee with
respect to a Claim, and so 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 shall 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 written opinion of counsel to 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 any such
separate counsel shall be borne by the Lessee. Subject to the requirements of
any policy of insurance, an Indemnitee may participate at its own expense in
any judicial proceeding controlled by the Lessee pursuant to the preceding
provisions; provided that such party's participation does not, in the
reasonable opinion of the independent counsel appointed by the Lessee or its
insurers to conduct such proceedings, significantly interfere with such
control; and such participation shall not constitute a waiver of
31
AF-1
35
the indemnification provided in this Section 7(b). Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, (x) the Lessee shall not under any circumstances
be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for each of (i)
the Owner Participant and the Owner Trustee (and their respective successors
and permitted assigns, agents and servants and other members of their
respective Related Indemnitee Groups) and (ii) the Loan Participants and the
Indenture Trustee (and their respective successors and permitted assigns,
agents and servants) except in the case specified in the proviso to the third
sentence of this paragraph (6) and (y) the Lessee shall not defend or
compromise any Claim if such proceedings will involve a material risk of the
sale, forfeiture or loss of, or the creation of any Lien (other than a
Permitted Lien) on the Airframe, any Engine or any part of any thereof, or the
Indenture Estate or the Trust Estate or any part of any thereof, unless the
Lessee shall have provided security for Lessee's obligations under this Section
7(b) with respect to such Claim reasonably satisfactory to the relevant
Indemnitees in respect to such risk.
(7) Subrogation. To the extent that a Claim indemnified by
the Lessee under this Section 7(b) is in fact paid in full by the Lessee and/or
an insurer under a policy of insurance maintained by the Lessee pursuant to
Section 11 of the Lease, the Lessee and/or such insurer, as the case may be,
shall be subrogated to the rights and remedies of the Indemnitee on whose
behalf such Claim was paid (other than rights of such Indemnitee under
insurance policies maintained at its own expense) with respect to the
transaction or event giving rise to such Claim, except that the Lessee shall
not be subrogated to any rights or remedies that the Owner Trustee may have
against the Owner Participant under Section 7.01 of the Trust Agreement or that
the Indenture Trustee may have against the Owner Trustee under Section 7.01 of
the Trust Indenture. So long as no Event of Default (or event that with lapse
of time would constitute an Event of Default under Section 14(a), 14(g), 14(h)
or 14(i) of the Lease) shall have occurred and be continuing, should an
Indemnitee receive any refund, in whole or in part, with respect to any Claim
paid by the Lessee hereunder, it shall promptly pay the amount refunded (but
not an amount in excess of the amount the Lessee or any of its insurers has
paid in respect of such Claim) over to the Lessee. Moreover, if, by reason of
any Claim that the Lessee has paid or indemnified against pursuant to this
Section 7(b), an Indem-
32
AF-1
36
nitee realizes an actual reduction in any Taxes that was not previously taken
into account in computing a payment by the Lessee pursuant to this Section
7(b), then such Indemnitee shall promptly pay to the Lessee an amount equal to
the actual net reduction in Taxes realized by such Indemnitee attributable
thereto plus the actual reduction in Taxes realized by such Indemnitee as a
result of any payment to the Lessee pursuant to this sentence. Each Indemnitee
shall in good faith use reasonable diligence in filing its tax returns and in
dealing with taxing authorities to seek and claim any tax benefits that would
result in such net reductions in Taxes.
(8) No Guaranty. Nothing set forth in this Section 7(b)
shall constitute a guarantee by the Lessee that the Aircraft shall have any
particular useful life or residual value or a guarantee to the Indenture
Trustee or the Loan Participants that the Certificates will be paid. Each of
the Loan Participants agrees that the provisions of Section 2.18 of the Trust
Indenture constitute its sole remedy for the reimbursement of Increased Costs
described therein and that nothing in this Section 7(b) shall constitute an
indemnity for any Increased Cost or any cost or loss in the nature of an
Increased Cost.
(c) General Tax Indemnity. (1) Indemnity. Except as
provided in Section 7(c)(2) hereof, the Lessee shall pay or indemnify and hold
harmless on an After-Tax Basis each Tax Indemnitee from and against any and all
fees (including without limitation license, documentation and registration
fees) and all taxes, whether now existing or hereafter adopted (including,
without limitation, income, gross receipts, sales, use, value-added, property
(tangible and intangible), excise and stamp taxes), levies, imposts, duties,
charges or withholdings, together with any penalties, fines or interest thereon
or other additions thereto (hereinafter collectively called "Taxes" and
individually called a "Tax") imposed against or payable by any Tax Indemnitee
(including amounts so payable by any such Tax Indemnitee solely as withholding
agent), the Lessee, any sublessee, sub-sublessee or other user of the Aircraft,
any Engine, or any Part, or any Affiliate of any such user, or imposed against
the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part, by any Federal, state or local government
or other taxing authority in the United States or by any foreign government or
by any territory or possession of the United States or by any international
authority or by any political subdivision or taxing authority of any of
33
AF-1
37
the foregoing (hereinafter, a "Taxing Authority") in connection with or
relating to (a) the construction, mortgaging, financing, refinancing, purchase,
acquisition, acceptance, rejection, delivery, nondelivery, transport, location,
ownership, control, insurance, registration, reregistration, deregistration,
assembly, possession, repossession, operation, use, condition, maintenance,
repair, sale, return, abandonment, replacement, preparation, installation,
storage, redelivery, manufacture, leasing, subleasing, modification,
rebuilding, importation, transfer of title, transfer of registration,
exportation or other application or disposition of, the Aircraft, any Engine or
any Part or any interest in any thereof, (b) payments of Rent or the receipts,
income or earnings arising therefrom or received with respect to the Aircraft,
any Engine or any Part or any interest in any thereof or payable pursuant to
the Lease, (c) any amount paid or payable pursuant to any Operative Document,
(d) the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part or any interest in any thereof or the
applicability of the Lease to the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part or any
interest in any thereof, (e) any or all of the Operative Documents, any or all
of the Certificates or any interest in any or all thereof, or the offering,
registration, reregistration, issuance, acquisition, assumption, modification,
reissuance, refinancing or refunding of any or all thereof, and any other
documents contemplated hereby or thereby and amendments and supplements hereto
and thereto, (f) the payment of the principal of, or interest or premium on, or
other amounts payable with respect to, any or all of the Certificates, whether
as originally issued or pursuant to any refinancing, refunding, assumption,
modification or reissuance, or any other obligation evidencing any loan in
replacement of the loan evidenced by any or all of the Certificates, (g) any
change in the Owner Trustee or the situs of the Trust Estate made pursuant to
Section 9(d) hereof, (h) the property, or the income, earnings, receipts or
other proceeds received with respect to the property, held by the Indenture
Trustee under the Trust Indenture or (i) otherwise with respect to or in
connection with the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents.

imposing such Taxes been the sole connection between the Owner
Participant (and any such related Tax Indemnitee) and such
jurisdiction;

sales, use or rental Taxes) imposed on the Owner Participant by any

understood that the date of the placement of the Aircraft in storage
as provided in Section 5(d) of the Lease constitutes the date of
return of the Aircraft and Engines under the Lease) and (y) the
expiration or earlier termination of the Lease under circumstances not
requiring the return of the Aircraft; provided that the exclusion set
forth in this subparagraph (viii) shall not apply to Taxes to the
extent such Taxes relate to events or conditions occurring or matters
arising prior to or simultaneously with such time;
(ix) Taxes that would not have been imposed but for (A) in
the case of Taxes imposed on or with respect to the Owner Trustee, the
Trust Estate, the Owner Participant or any related Tax Indemnitee with
respect to any of the foregoing, the existence of any Lessor's Liens,
(B) in the case of Taxes imposed on or with respect to any Tax
Indemnitee (other than Wilmington Trust Company or NationsBank of
Georgia, National Association, their respective successors and assigns
(including, without limitation, each and any Person who is at any time
a replacement Owner Trustee or Indenture Trustee), their respective
officers, directors, servants and agents and their respective

imposed on or with respect to any Tax Indemnitee, any act or omission
of such Tax Indemnitee or any Tax Indemnitee related to such Tax
Indemnitee that constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct, or
the inaccuracy of any representation, warranty or covenant by such Tax
Indemnitee or such related Tax Indemnitee, but only if, in any such
case described in the immediately preceding clause (B) or (C), such
act, omission or inaccuracy is not a result in whole or in part of (I)
any act or omission of the Lessee or any sublessee or Person (other
than a Tax Indemnitee) that is a user of the Aircraft or any Engine or
any Affiliate of any thereof or (II) the breach or inaccuracy of any
representation, warranty or covenant of the Lessee or any Affiliate,

or a change that is consented to by the Lessee in writing, which
consent shall not unreasonably be withheld and the request for which
shall have specified this subparagraph (x)) or (B) as a result of the

negligence of the Owner Trustee in complying with the Lessee's request
pursuant to Section 9(d) hereof to move the situs of the Trust Estate
to another jurisdiction;
(xi) Taxes imposed on a Tax Indemnitee (other than the

certification, information, documentation, reporting or other similar
requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or
connection with the jurisdiction imposing such Taxes, if such Tax
Indemnitee's or any related Tax Indemnitee's compliance is required by
statute or by regulation of the jurisdiction imposing such Taxes as a
precondition to relief
38
AF-1
42
or exemption from such Taxes and the Tax Indemnitee or such related
Tax Indemnitee was eligible for such relief or exemption or (y) any
other certification, information, documentation, reporting or other
similar requirements under the Tax laws or regulations of the
jurisdiction imposing such Taxes that would establish entitlement to
otherwise applicable relief or exemption from such Taxes, provided
that the exclusion set forth in this subparagraph (xi) shall not apply
if such failure to comply was due to a failure of the Lessee (A)
timely to notify such Tax Indemnitee of such requirement or (B) to
provide reasonable assistance in complying with such requirement or,
in the case of the Owner Participant, if such failure was the result
of the Owner Trustee's negligence or the Owner Trustee's actions or
failure to act in accordance with instructions of the Owner
Participant or, in the case of any Loan Participant, if such failure
was the result of the Indenture Trustee's negligence or the Indenture
Trustee's actions or failure to act in accordance with instructions of
such Loan Participant;
(xii) Taxes imposed on any Tax Indemnitee other than any
Loan Participant, the Indenture Trustee or the Indenture Estate in the
nature of any intangible or similar tax upon or with respect to the
value of the interest of the Owner Participant in the Trust Estate
imposed by any government or taxing authority in which the Owner
Participant is subject to tax without regard to the ownership or lease
of the Aircraft;
(xiii) Taxes that would not have been imposed but for an
amendment to any Operative Documents not consented to by the Lessee in
writing (other than any amendment that occurs after an Event of
Default has occurred and while it is continuing);
(xiv) Taxes imposed on the Owner Participant, the Owner
Trustee or the Trust Estate by the United States or by any state or
local government or taxing authority in the United States (including

corporation;
39
AF-1
43
(xv) Taxes (other than Taxes in the nature of property,
sales, use or rental Taxes) imposed on any Loan Participant that are
on, based on or measured by gross or net income or gross or net
receipts of such Loan Participant or any related Tax Indemnitee
(including any minimum Taxes and any Taxes on or measured by any items
of tax preference) or that are franchise Taxes, Taxes on doing
business or Taxes on, based on or measured by capital or net worth of
such Loan Participant or any related Tax Indemnitee by (x) the Federal
government of the United States or (y) any state or local government
or taxing authority in the United States or any foreign government or
any territory or possession of the United States or any international
authority or any political subdivision or taxing authority of any of
the foregoing except to the extent that such Taxes would have been due
had the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents been the
sole connection between the jurisdiction imposing such Taxes and such
Loan Participant, provided that there shall not be excluded under
clause (x) or (y) of this subparagraph (xv) Taxes to the extent
imposed by reason of such Loan Participant being treated as having a
taxable exchange as a result of an assumption by the Lessee of the
rights and obligations of the Owner Trustee under the Indenture and
the Certificates pursuant to Section 2.16 of the Indenture; and
(xvi) Taxes imposed on any Loan Participant in the nature
of any intangible or similar tax upon or with respect to the value of
the interest of such Loan Participant in any Certificate or the loan
evidenced thereby, except to the extent that such Taxes would have
been due had the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents
been the sole connection between the jurisdiction imposing such Taxes
and such Loan Participant.
(3) Tax Benefit Payback. If, by reason of the payment or
accrual of any Taxes indemnified hereunder, a Tax Indemnitee realizes an actual
reduction in any Taxes, which reduction in Taxes was not taken into account in
calculating any indemnity payments made by the Lessee hereunder, then such Tax
Indemnitee shall promptly pay to the Lessee an amount equal to such actual
reduction in Taxes, if any, plus the actual reduction in Taxes realized by such
Tax Indemnitee or any related Tax Indemnitee as
40
AF-1
44
the result of any payment made by such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this
sentence. Each Tax Indemnitee shall in good faith use diligence in filing its
tax returns and in dealing with Taxing Authorities to seek and claim any tax
benefit that would result in any such reduction in Taxes or any refund of any
Taxes payable or indemnifiable by the Lessee hereunder, provided that no Loan
Participant shall have any obligation to claim any credit or any deduction in
priority to any other claims, reliefs, credits or deductions available to it.
Any Taxes that are imposed on any Tax Indemnitee as a result of the
disallowance or reduction of any reduction in Taxes referred to in the second
preceding sentence as to which (and to the extent) such Tax Indemnitee has made
any payment to the Lessee required hereby shall be treated as a Tax for which
the Lessee is obligated to indemnify such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 7(c) without regard to the exclusions set forth in
Section 7(c)(2). For the purposes of this Section 7(c)(3), items of foreign
Tax of any Tax Indemnitee (other than any Loan Participant) shall be deemed to
be utilized by such Tax Indemnitee as credits or deductions in any taxable year
in accordance with the following:
(i) First, all available foreign Taxes other than those
arising out of leveraged lease transactions; and
(ii) Second, foreign Taxes arising from leveraged lease
transactions for which such Tax Indemnitee was not indemnified or held
harmless by anyone; and
(iii) Third, all available foreign Taxes for which such Tax
Indemnitee was indemnified or held harmless by the Lessee and all
other available foreign Taxes indemnified under any other leveraged
lease transactions (other than those arising from any transaction in
which there is an express agreement that such Taxes shall be utilized
last), on a pari passu basis; and
(iv) Fourth, any remaining foreign Taxes arising from any
transaction in which there is an express agreement that such Taxes
shall be utilized after such Taxes described above.
(4) Contests. If a written claim shall be made against
any Tax Indemnitee for any Tax for which the
41
AF-1
45
Lessee is obligated pursuant to this Section 7(c), such Tax Indemnitee shall
notify the Lessee in writing promptly of such claim, provided that the Lessee
shall not be relieved of its obligations hereunder by reason of a failure by
the Tax Indemnitee to give such notice unless such failure materially
interferes with or prevents the Lessee from exercising its contest rights
hereunder. If the Lessee shall so request in writing within 30 days after
receipt of such notice, such Tax Indemnitee shall in good faith at the Lessee's
expense contest the imposition of such Tax (including taking an appeal of any
adverse judicial decision) by (a) resisting payment of such Tax, (b) paying
such Tax under protest or (c) paying such Tax and seeking a refund or other
repayment thereof, provided that, at such Tax Indemnitee's option, such contest
shall be conducted by the Lessee in the name of such Tax Indemnitee or, if
permitted by law, in the name of the Lessee, and that in no event shall such
Tax Indemnitee be required to contest, or the Lessee permitted to contest in
the name of such Tax Indemnitee or the Lessee, the imposition of any Tax for
which the Lessee is obligated pursuant to this Section 7(c) unless (v) the
Lessee shall have delivered a written opinion of its internal counsel or
outside counsel to the effect that there is a reasonable basis (consistent with
Formal Opinion 85-352 of the American Bar Association) for contesting such
claim, (w) if an Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing, the
Lessee shall have provided security for its obligations hereunder reasonably
satisfactory to the Tax Indemnitee, (x) the Lessee shall have agreed to pay
such Tax Indemnitee on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses
that such Tax Indemnitee may incur in connection with contesting such claim
(including, without limitation, all reasonable legal and accounting fees and
disbursements), (y) the action to be taken will not result in any material
danger of sale, forfeiture or loss of the Aircraft, Airframe, any Engine or any
material Part or any interest in any thereof and (z) if such contest shall be
conducted in a manner requiring the payment of the claim, the Lessee shall pay
such claim or shall advance to the Tax Indemnitee on an interest-free basis and
with no additional net after-tax cost to the Tax Indemnitee sufficient funds to
pay the claim. Except as otherwise provided herein, the contest shall be
conducted in the manner determined by the Lessee unless it involves issues with
respect to which the Lessee would not be required to indemnify such Tax
Indemnitee hereunder which can not be severed by reasonable efforts of such Tax
Indemnitee from all issues with re-
42
AF-1
46
spect to which the Lessee would be liable hereunder. If the contest involves
issues with respect to which the Lessee would not be required to indemnify such
Tax Indemnitee hereunder that can not be severed by reasonable efforts of such
Tax Indemnitee from all issues with respect to which the Lessee would be liable
hereunder, such Tax Indemnitee may in its sole discretion select the forum for
such contest and determine the manner in which such contest shall be conducted,
provided that such Tax Indemnitee shall afford the Lessee and its counsel a
reasonable opportunity to discuss with such Tax Indemnitee the Lessee's
interests with respect to such contest. No contest of any issue with respect
to which the Lessee would be required to indemnify hereunder shall be settled
without the prior written consent of the Lessee unless the Tax Indemnitee
waives (by written notice to the Lessee) the payment by the Lessee of any
amount that might otherwise be payable by the Lessee under this Section 7(c) in
respect of such issue and any related issue the contest of which is effectively
foreclosed by the settlement of such issue, including any payment arising from
such issue in subsequent years or which arises by reason of the fact that such
issue is of a continuing nature, and promptly pays to the Lessee any amount
previously paid or advanced by the Lessee with respect to such issue or the
contest of such issue, provided that if there has been an adverse judicial
decision with respect to such issue or related issue the Tax Indemnitee, in
determining whether it will terminate the contest of such issue, shall afford
the Lessee and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to discuss with such Tax
Indemnitee the Lessee's interests with respect to such contest. If any Tax
Indemnitee shall obtain a refund of all or any part of any Tax paid by the
Lessee or with funds provided by the Lessee, such Tax Indemnitee shall pay the
Lessee, net of any payments theretofore due to such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to
this Section 7(c) but unpaid and any other payments theretofore due to such Tax
Indemnitee under any of the Operative Documents but unpaid, an amount equal to
the amount of such refund, including interest received attributable thereto,
reduced by any Taxes incurred by such Tax Indemnitee or a related Tax
Indemnitee by reason of the receipt or accrual of such refund and interest, and
increased by any tax benefit realized by such Tax Indemnitee or a related Tax
Indemnitee as a result of any payment by such Tax Indemnitee made pursuant to
this sentence.
43
AF-1
47
(5) Reports. If any report, return or statement is
required to be filed with respect to any Tax that is a property tax (or a tax
in the nature of a property tax) subject to indemnification under this Section
7(c), the Lessee shall timely file the same (except for any such report, return
or statement which the Tax Indemnitee has notified the Lessee that the Tax
Indemnitee intends to file, provided that such Tax Indemnitee shall have
furnished the Lessee, at the Lessee's request and expense, with such
information, not within the control of the Lessee, as is in such Tax
Indemnitee's control and is reasonably available to such Tax Indemnitee and
reasonably necessary to file such returns. The Lessee shall either file such
report, return or statement so as to show the ownership of the Aircraft in the
Owner Trustee and send a copy of such report, return or statement to the Tax
Indemnitee, and the Owner Trustee if the Tax Indemnitee is not the Owner
Trustee, or, where the Lessee is not permitted to so file, shall notify the Tax
Indemnitee of such requirement and prepare and deliver such report, return or
statement to the Tax Indemnitee in a manner satisfactory to such Tax Indemnitee
within a reasonable time prior to the time such report, return or statement is
to be filed. The Lessee shall also furnish promptly upon written request such
data in its possession or otherwise reasonably available to it as any Tax
Indemnitee may reasonably request to enable such Tax Indemnitee to comply with
the requirements of any Taxing Authority. The Lessee shall hold each Tax
Indemnitee harmless from and against the penalties, additions to tax and fines
arising from any insufficiency or inaccuracy in any such report, return or
statement or fairly attributable to the inaccuracy of any data supplied to any
Tax Indemnitee by the Lessee, without regard to whether such penalties,
additions to tax and fines are otherwise indemnifiable under this Section 7(c).
If any report, return or statement is required to be filed with respect to any
Tax (other than a property tax or a tax in the nature of a property tax)
subject to indemnification under this Section 7(c), the Lessee will promptly
notify the appropriate Tax Indemnitee upon the Lessee's obtaining actual
knowledge of such requirement. If the Lessee receives written notice from a
Taxing Authority of a Tax that is imposed upon a Tax Indemnitee but not
indemnified against by the Lessee hereunder, the Lessee will forward a copy of
such notice to such Tax Indemnitee.
44
AF-1
48
(6) Payment. The Lessee shall pay any Tax for which it
is liable pursuant to this Section 7(c), directly to the appropriate taxing
authority or upon demand of a Tax Indemnitee to such Tax Indemnitee, within 30
Business Days of a written demand, but in no event prior to the date such Tax
is due (including all extensions), or, in the case of Taxes which are being
contested, the time such contest is finally resolved. Any such demand shall
specify in reasonable detail the calculation to the payment and the facts upon
which the right to payment is based. Each Tax Indemnitee shall promptly
forward to the Lessee any notice, bill or advice received by it concerning any
Tax which the Lessee may be required to indemnify against hereunder. Upon the
written request of an appropriate Tax Indemnitee, the Lessee shall furnish such
Tax Indemnitee the original or a certified copy of a receipt (if any is
available to the Lessee) for the Lessee's payment of any Tax that is subject to
indemnification pursuant to this Section 7(c), or such other evidence of
payment of such Tax as is acceptable to such Tax Indemnitee (and available to
the Lessee).
(7) Application of Payments During Existence of Event of
Default. Any amount payable to the Lessee pursuant to the terms of this
Section 7(c) shall not be paid to the Lessee if at the time such payment would
otherwise be made an Event of Default or event that with lapse of time would
constitute an Event of Default under Section 14(a), 14(g), 14(h) or 14(i) of
the Lease shall have occurred and be continuing but shall be held by the Tax
Indemnitee as security for the obligations of the Lessee under the Operative
Documents and, if the Lessor declares the Lease to be in default pursuant to
Section 15 thereof (or the Lease is deemed to be declared in default), applied
against the Lessee's obligations under the Operative Documents as and when due,
provided that no such amount shall be held as security for more than 180 days
unless the Lessor or the Indenture Trustee shall be precluded by law or court
order from exercising remedies under Section 15 of the Lease. At such time as
there shall not be continuing any such Event of Default or other event or such
180-day period shall have elapsed, such amount shall be paid to the Lessee to
the extent not previously applied in accordance with the preceding sentence.
(8) Forms, Etc. Each Tax Indemnitee agrees to furnish
from time to time to the Lessee or to such other person as the Lessee may
designate, at the Lessee's re-
45
AF-1
49
quest in writing and expense, such duly executed and properly completed forms
as may be necessary or appropriate in order to claim any reduction of or
exemption from any withholding or other Tax imposed by any Taxing Authority
which the Lessee may be required to indemnify against hereunder, if (x) such
reduction or exemption is available to such Tax Indemnitee and (y) the Lessee
has provided such Tax Indemnitee with any information necessary to complete
such form not otherwise reasonably available to such Tax Indemnitee.
(9) Non-Parties. If a Tax Indemnitee is not a party to
this Agreement, the Lessee may require the Tax Indemnitee to agree in writing,
in a form reasonably acceptable to the Lessee, to the terms of this Section
7(c) prior to making any payment to such Tax Indemnitee under this Section
7(c).
(10) Verification. At the Lessee's request, the amount of
any indemnity payment by the Lessee pursuant to this Section 7 or any payment
by a Tax Indemnitee to the Lessee pursuant to this Section 7 shall be verified
and certified by either the independent public accounting firm that audits the
financial statements of such Tax Indemnitee (provided that such firm shall have
its headquarters in the United States) or another independent public accounting
firm selected by such Tax Indemnitee and reasonably satisfactory to the Lessee,
provided that, in the case of any Loan Participant, the amount of any payment
by such Loan Participant to the Lessee pursuant to this Section 7 shall be
verified and certified by the independent public accounting firm that audits
the financial statements of such Loan Participant. The fee of such independent
public accounting firm shall be paid by the Lessee unless such verification
shall disclose an error in such Tax Indemnitee's favor exceeding 10% of the
amount of such payment determined by the Tax Indemnitee, in which case such fee
shall be paid by such Tax Indemnitee. The Lessee will have no right to examine
the tax returns of the Tax Indemnitee in connection with the verification
procedure described in this Section 7(c)(10); each Tax Indemnitee agrees to
cooperate with the independent public accounting firm performing the
verification and to supply such firm with all information reasonably necessary
to permit it to accomplish such verification, provided that the information
provided to such firm by such Tax Indemnitee shall be for its confidential use.

(12) Subrogation. Upon payment of any Tax by the Lessee
pursuant to this Section 7(c) to or on behalf of a Tax Indemnitee, the Lessee,
without any further action, shall be subrogated (unless a court of competent
jurisdiction shall have entered a final judgment ordering the return of such
payment to the Lessee) to any claims that such Tax Indemnitee may have relating
thereto other than claims in respect of insurance policies maintained by such
Tax Indemnitee at its own expense. Such Tax Indemnitee shall give such further
reasonable assurances or agreements and cooperate with the Lessee to permit the
Lessee to pursue such claims; provided that the Lessee shall reimburse such Tax
Indemnitee for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs associated with such
assurances, agreements or cooperation.

indemnities and agreements of the Lessee provided for in this Section 7 and the

same manner as the unpaid amount in respect of which such interest is due.
(f) Effect of Other Indemnities. The Lessee's
obligations under the indemnities provided for in this Agreement shall be those

the Lease, the Trust Indenture, the Trust Agreement or any other document or
instrument, and the Person seeking indemnification from the Lessee pursuant to

Trust Agreement by the Owner Participant) each of the other Operative
Documents to which it is a party and the Certificates to be delivered
on the Delivery Date for the Aircraft; and the Trust Agreement
constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Owner
Trustee, in its individual capacity, enforceable against it in its

Indenture Trustee in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and
(y) all the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the
Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant and the Original
Loan Participant in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and
delivery of this Agreement, the other Operative Documents and any other
documents or instruments referred to herein or therein, including, without
limitation,
(i) the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of
(A) King & Spalding, special counsel for the Original Loan
Participant, (B) Powell, Goldstein, Frazer & Murphy, special counsel
for the Indenture Trustee, (C) Potter Anderson & Corroon, special
counsel for the Owner Trustee, and (D) Crowe & Dunlevy, P.C., special
counsel in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma;
(ii) the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of

expenses of Babcock & Brown, the Lessee's financial advisor, in
amounts separately agreed; and
(iv) all other reasonable expenses incurred in connection
with such actions and transactions, including, without limitation, the

charges payable in connection with the recording or filing of the
instruments and financing statements described in this Agreement.
Each of the Owner Trustee, the Lessee, the Original Loan
Participant and the Indenture Trustee shall promptly submit to the Owner
Participant copies of the invoices in respect of the foregoing transaction
costs as they are received, and in all events not later than Decem-
56
AF-1
60
ber 31, 1992. The Owner Participant prior to the payment thereof will send
copies of any invoices received by it with respect to any of the foregoing
fees, expenses and disbursements constituting transaction costs to the Lessee
for the Lessee's review and approval, such approval not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed.
In the event that the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and the agreements referred to herein are not consummated, the Lessee
shall bear and pay all costs, expenses and fees referred to above; provided
that if the transaction fails to be consummated as a result of failure of the
Owner Participant to act in good faith in consummating the transactions, or to
fulfill its funding obligations or otherwise to comply with the terms hereof or
thereof, the Owner Participant shall bear and pay its own fees, costs and
expenses (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of its special
counsel), and the Lessee shall pay all other reasonable fees, costs and
expenses as aforesaid.
(b) The Owner Participant covenants that if (i) it ceases
to be a "citizen of the United States" within the meaning of Section 101(16) of
the Federal Aviation Act and (ii) either (A) the Aircraft shall or would
thereupon become ineligible for registration in the name of the Owner Trustee
under the Federal Aviation Act as in effect at such time, or under the law of
the current jurisdiction of registry of the Aircraft, as the case may be, and
the regulations then applicable thereunder, or (B) the Aircraft is registered
in a jurisdiction other than the United States in circumstances in which clause
(A) does not apply and the Lessee at any time proposes to register the Aircraft
within four months in any jurisdiction to which clause (A) would apply upon
such reregistration, then the Owner Participant at its own expense shall
promptly (and, in any event, within a period of 30 days) either transfer,
pursuant to Article VIII of the Trust Agreement and Section 16(c) hereof, such
of its right, title and interest in and to the Trust Agreement, the Trust
Estate, and this Agreement, or take such other action, as may be necessary to
prevent any deregistration of the Aircraft or to make possible its registration
in the United States. Each party hereto agrees to take such steps, at the
Owner Participant's expense, as the Owner Participant shall reasonably request
in order to assist the Owner Participant in complying with its obligations
under this Section 9(b). The Owner Participant hereby
57
AF-1
61
agrees to indemnify the Lessee, the Indenture Trustee and each Loan Participant
against any and all losses, liabilities and expenses incurred by the Lessee,
the Indenture Trustee or any Loan Participant to the extent that any such
losses, liabilities or expenses are caused by the Aircraft's so becoming
ineligible or ceasing to remain eligible for such registration.
(c) The Owner Trustee in its individual capacity
covenants that if at any time it shall cease to be a "citizen of the United
States" within the meaning of Section 101(16) of the Federal Aviation Act, it
will resign immediately as Owner Trustee (if and so long as such citizenship is
necessary under the Federal Aviation Act, or the law of the current
jurisdiction of the registry of the Aircraft, as the case may be, as in effect
at such time or, if it is not necessary, if and so long as the Owner Trustee's
citizenship (in its individual capacity) would have any adverse effect on the
Lessee or any Loan Participant). The Owner Trustee in its individual capacity
hereby unconditionally agrees with and for the benefit of the parties to this
Agreement that the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity will not directly
or indirectly create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lessor's Liens on or
against any part of the Trust Estate, the Indenture Estate or the Aircraft
arising out of any act or omission of or claim against or affecting the Owner
Trustee in its individual capacity, and the Owner Trustee in its individual
capacity agrees that it will at its own cost and expense promptly take such
action as may be necessary to duly discharge and satisfy in full (i) all
Lessor's Liens attributable to the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity and
(ii) any other Liens attributable to the Owner Trustee in its individual
capacity on any part of the Trust Estate or the Indenture Estate which result
from claims against the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity not related to
the ownership of the Aircraft, the administration of the Trust Estate or the
Indenture Estate or the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents.
The Owner Trustee, in its individual capacity, hereby agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless the Lessee, the Indenture Trustee and each Participant from and
against any loss, cost or expense (including reasonable legal fees and
expenses) which may be suffered or incurred by any of them as a result of the
failure of the Owner Trustee to discharge and satisfy any such Lessor's Lien or
other lien or encumbrance.
58
AF-1
62
(d) Each of the Owner Participant and the Owner Trustee
(in its individual capacity and as Owner Trustee) agrees with the Lessee, the
Indenture Trustee and each Loan Participant that it will comply with all of the
terms of the Trust Agreement (as the same may hereafter be amended or
supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof) applicable
to it in its respective capacity, the noncompliance with which would adversely
affect any such party and shall not take any action, or cause any action to be
taken, which would amend, modify or supplement any provision of the Trust
Agreement in a manner adversely affecting any such party without the prior
written consent of such party, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. The Owner Trustee confirms for the benefit of the Lessee, the
Indenture Trustee and each Loan Participant that it will comply with the
provisions of Article IV of the Trust Agreement. The Owner Participant agrees
not to terminate or revoke the trust created by the Trust Agreement without the
prior written consent of the Lessee and (so long as the Trust Indenture shall
not have been discharged) the Indenture Trustee and the Loan Participant, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Owner Participant further
agrees not to remove the institution acting as Owner Trustee, and not to
replace the institution acting as Owner Trustee in the event that such
institution resigns as Owner Trustee, unless the Owner Participant shall have
consulted in good faith with the Lessee, the Indenture Trustee and the Original
Loan Participant prior to such removal or replacement as to the identity,
location and fee schedules of the proposed successor trustee, provided that (i)
the Owner Participant shall retain the right, notwithstanding any such
consultation, to act in its sole discretion (provided that the Owner
Participant shall not choose a replacement Owner Trustee which, in the good
faith opinion of the Lessee, may result in additional liability to the Lessee
pursuant to Section 7(c) hereof, except in the case of a mandatory or voluntary
resignation of the Owner Trustee where the Lessee has not proposed an
alternative Owner Trustee which is reasonably satisfactory to the Owner
Participant) and (ii) no such consultation shall be required if an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing. So long as no Event of Default
shall occur and be continuing, the Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant
agree that no co-trustee or separate trustee
59
AF-1
63
shall be appointed pursuant to Section 9.02 of the Trust Agreement without the
Lessee's and the Original Loan Participant's prior written consent, such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld. The Owner Participant agrees that if,
at any time, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Lessee certifies that the Lessee has, or in the good faith opinion of the
Lessee will, become obligated to pay an amount pursuant to Section 7(c) hereof
and the amount that has or will become payable would be reduced or eliminated
if the situs of the Trust Estate were changed and if, as a consequence thereof,
the Lessee should request that the situs of the trust be moved to another state
in the United States from the state in which it is then located, the Owner
Participant shall direct such change in situs of the Trust Estate as may be
specified in writing by the Lessee and the Owner Participant will take whatever
action as may be reasonably necessary to accomplish such change; provided that
the Lessee shall provide such additional indemnification for Taxes imposed by
the jurisdiction to which the Trust Estate is to be moved as the Owner
Participant may reasonably request. The Indenture Trustee shall execute such
documents and take such action as may be necessary to effect such change in the
situs of the Trust Estate; provided that the Lien created by the Indenture
shall continue to be perfected.
(e) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Owner Trustee shall promptly pay to the Lessee any amounts
received by it in respect of Break Funding Gain under Section 2.17 of the Trust
Indenture (other than any Break Funding Gain payable with respect to the
Certificates as a result of (A) any prepayment of the Certificates or purchase
of the Certificates pursuant to Section 2.13 of the Trust Indenture as a result
of an Indenture Default that does not also constitute an Event of Default or
(B) an Indenture Default that does not also constitute an Event of Default, it
being agreed that any such Break Funding Gain shall be for the account of the
Owner Participant); provided that if any such amount has been so held by the
Owner Trustee as security for more than 90 days after an Event of Default shall
have occurred and during which period (x) the Owner Trustee shall not have been
limited by operation of law or otherwise from exercising remedies under the
Lease or (y) the Owner Trustee shall not have commenced to exercise any remedy
available to it under Section 15 of the Lease, then the
60
AF-1
64
Owner Trustee shall promptly pay such amount to the Lessee.
(f) The Owner Participant agrees that, in the event of
the termination of the Lease pursuant to Section 9 thereof, the Owner
Participant will pay any fees and commissions of any broker or finder appointed
by the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant, or any fees and commissions
payable to the Lessee pursuant to such Section 9, in connection with the sale
of the Aircraft. In addition, the Owner Participant agrees to pay or cause to
be paid to the Owner Trustee such amounts as may be necessary to enable the
Owner Trustee to pay any amounts to the Lessee pursuant to Section 9 or 15 of
the Lease as a rebate of any Basic Rent theretofore paid under the Lease.
(g) Each Loan Participant hereby unconditionally agrees
to perform its respective obligations under the Trust Indenture (including,
without limitation, those contained in Sections 2.17 and 2.18 of the Trust
Indenture) as though such obligations were fully set forth herein.
(h) The Owner Trustee, in its capacity as Owner Trustee,
will not incur any indebtedness for money borrowed, or enter into any business
or other activity, except as contemplated hereby and by the other Operative
Documents.
(i) The Indenture Trustee in its individual capacity
hereby unconditionally agrees with and for the benefit of the parties to this
Agreement that the Indenture Trustee in its individual capacity or as Indenture
Trustee will not directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or suffer to
exist any Liens on or against any part of the Trust Estate, the Indenture
Estate or Aircraft arising out of any act or omission of or claim against the
Indenture Trustee in its individual capacity, and the Indenture Trustee in its
individual capacity agrees that it will at its own cost and expense promptly
take such action as may be necessary duly to discharge and satisfy in full (i)
all such Liens attributable to the Indenture Trustee in its individual capacity
and (ii) any other liens or encumbrances attributable to the Indenture Trustee
in its individual capacity on any part of the Trust Estate or the Indenture
Estate which result from claims against the Indenture Trustee in its individual
capacity not related to the administration of the Indenture Estate. The
Indenture Trustee hereby agrees to indemnify and hold
61
AF-1
65
harmless the Lessee, the Owner Trustee and each Participant from and against
any loss, cost or expense (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) which
may be suffered or incurred by any of them as a result of the failure of the
Indenture Trustee to discharge and satisfy any such Lien or such other lien or
encumbrance.
(j) The Owner Trustee agrees that any profit, income,
interest, dividend or gain realized upon the maturity, sale or other
disposition of any Permitted Investment made by the Indenture Trustee pursuant
to Section 3.07(b) of the Trust Indenture, and paid to the Lessee on behalf of
the Owner Trustee by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the terms of such
Section 3.07(b), shall be entirely for the account of, and the sole property
of, the Lessee who, for such purposes, shall not be deemed to be acting as
agent of the Owner Trustee, and the Lessee shall have no obligation to pay over
such income, interest, dividend or gain to the Owner Trustee.
(k) Each of the Indenture Trustee and each Loan
Participant, by its acceptance of a Certificate, hereby irrevocably agree, to
the maximum extent permitted by law, that, in any case in which any Person
(other than the Lessee alone) is the debtor or one of the debtors under the
Bankruptcy Code, each of the Indenture Trustee and each Loan Participant shall
be deemed to have made a timely election pursuant to Section 1111(b)(1)(A)(i)
of the Bankruptcy Code (or any substantively comparable provision which is the
successor thereto) as to the Indenture Estate (which is acknowledged and agreed
not to include Excepted Property).
(l) [intentionally omitted].
(m) Each of the Owner Participant and the Owner Trustee
hereby agrees, for the benefit of the Lessee, to cooperate with the Lessee in
effecting any foreign registration of the Aircraft pursuant to Section 7(a)(i)
of the Lease; provided that prior to any such change in the country of registry
of the Aircraft (other than a change in the country of registry that results in
the registration of the Aircraft under the laws of the United States of
America), the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee,
62
AF-1
66
the Indenture Trustee and the Loan Participants shall have received from
counsel to the Lessee reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Participant, the
Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Loan Participants an opinion to
the effect that (i) the terms of any relevant sublease and the Lease are legal,
valid, binding and enforceable in such country to substantially the same extent
as such documents are at that time enforceable in the United States, (ii) there
is no statutory, regulatory or case law in such country imposing tort liability
on the owner of an aircraft not in possession thereof, or on a lender providing
funds for the purchase of an aircraft, under the laws of such country other
than tort liability no more extensive or onerous than that which might have
been imposed on such an owner or lender under the laws of the United States or
any state thereof (it being understood that, in the event such opinion cannot
be given in a form satisfactory to the Owner Participant, such opinion shall be
waived if insurance reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Participant is
provided by the Lessee to cover the risk of such liability), (iii) such
re-registration will not result in the imposition by such country of any Taxes
on the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant, the Indenture Trustee or any Loan
Participant for which the Lessee is not required to indemnify the Owner
Participant, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or any Loan Participant,
as the case may be (provided that in lieu of the opinion referred to in this
clause (iii) the Lessee may indemnify the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee
or the Loan Participants, as the case may be, for any Taxes imposed by such
country in connection with or relating to the transactions contemplated by the
Operative Documents which would not have been imposed but for such
re-registration); (iv) there exist no possessory rights in favor of the Lessee
or any sublessee under the laws of such country which would, upon bankruptcy of
or other default by the Lessee or any sublessee, prevent the return of the
Aircraft to the Owner Trustee in accordance with and when permitted by the
terms of Sections 14 and 15(a) of the Lease upon the exercise by the Owner
Trustee of its remedies under Section 15(a) of the Lease; (v) it is not
necessary for the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee to qualify to do
business in such jurisdiction solely as a result of the proposed
re-registration; (vi) the laws of such country require fair compensation by the
government of such country for the loss of use of the Aircraft in the event of
the requisition by such government of the Aircraft (unless the Lessee shall
have provided contemporaneously with such re-registration insurance reasonably
satisfactory to the Lessor and the Owner Participant covering the risk of
requisition of use of the Aircraft by
63
AF-1
67
the government of such country so long as the Aircraft is registered under the
laws of such country); and (vii) the Lessee shall have paid or made provision
for the payment of all expenses of the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee and
the Loan Participants in connection with such change in registration; and
provided, further, that (x) the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant and the
Loan Participants shall have received prior to or contemporaneously with such
re-registration (1) a certificate of insurance signed by an independent
insurance broker to the effect that the Aircraft is and after such
re-registration will continue to be insured in such country in accordance with
the requirements of Section 11 of the Lease, (2) a certificate signed by a duly
authorized officer of the Lessee stating that no Event of Default exists as of
the date of such certificate and no Event of Default will occur or exist upon
or resulting from such re-registration, (3) evidence and assurances reasonably
satisfactory to such parties, that the aircraft and engine maintenance
standards under the laws of such country of reregistration are substantially
similar to those required by the central civil aviation authority of any of the
United States, the United Kingdom, the Federal Republic of Germany, France,
Canada or Japan, and (4) in the case of the Owner Participant only, assurances
reasonably satisfactory to it that the currency of such country is freely
convertible into U.S. Dollars (unless the Lessee shall have agreed to provide
the requisition insurance described in clause (vi) above) and (y) the Lessee
shall not cause the Aircraft to be registered pursuant to Section 7(a)(i) of
the Lease under the laws of any foreign jurisdiction without the prior written
consent of the Owner Participant if (1) the civil aviation laws of such foreign
jurisdiction impose unusual requirements on registrants of civil aircraft, and
(2) the Owner Participant would be required to comply with such unusual
requirements upon the registration of the Aircraft in such foreign
jurisdiction, and the Owner Participant's compliance therewith would result in
a material burden on the Owner Participant's business activities.
(n) Each of the Indenture Trustee and each Loan
Participant hereby agrees, subject to the terms of Section 7(m) hereof, for the
benefit of the Lessee, to cooperate with the Lessee in effecting any foreign
registration of the Aircraft pursuant to Section 7(a)(i) of the Lease.
64
AF-1
68
(o) The Indenture Trustee hereby agrees to give the
Lessee notice (the "Notice") not later than the date that is 5 Business Days
prior to January 1 of each year in which the Indenture shall be in effect,
commencing on December 24, 1992, whether (x) there are any undistributed funds
held in either the Trust Estate or the Indenture Estate, except such funds as
shall be invested in those types of obligations or evidences of debt as are
described in Section 48-6-22(1), O.C.G.A., i.e., obligations or evidences of
debt of the United States, including obligations of the United States
government agencies and corporations established by acts of the Congress of the
United States, and obligations or evidences of debt of the State of Georgia or
its political subdivisions or public institutions, including industrial
development revenue bonds issued pursuant to the laws of the State of Georgia,
(y) there are receivables then due and owing to the Indenture Estate and
unpaid, or (z) the Indenture Estate or the Indenture Trustee holds legal title
to any intangible personal property not expressly contemplated by the Operative
Documents other than intangible personal property which is exempt from taxation
under the provisions of Section 48-6-22, O.C.G.A., and, if the Notice would on
any date thereafter and prior to such January 1 be untrue, immediately to so
notify the Lessee.
(p) Except to the extent provided in the following
sentence and in Section 9(q) hereof and except for a purchase of the Loan
Certificates pursuant to Section 2.13 of the Trust Indenture, each Loan
Participant agrees that it will not sell, assign, pledge or otherwise transfer
all or any portion of any Certificate or the indebtedness evidenced thereby
without the prior written consent of the Lessee, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, provided that under no circumstances may any such sale,
assignment, pledge or transfer (other than a purchase of the Certificates
pursuant to Section 2.13 of the Trust Indenture) be made to any Person not
meeting the requirements set forth in clause (c) of the definition of Permitted
Transferee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Loan Participant may sell,
assign, pledge or otherwise transfer all or any portion of any of its
Certificates or the indebtedness evidenced thereby to a Permitted Transferee
without such consent, provided that such sale, assignment, pledge or transfer
does not violate any applicable laws and such Loan Participant and such
Permitted Transferee shall have executed and delivered a transfer agreement in
the form attached as Exhibit XII
65
AF-1
69
hereto, and provided, further, that no Loan Participant may grant

security interests created thereby and reciting the details of

to preserve any right or franchise if its Board of Directors shall
determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the
conduct of the business of the Lessee. The Lessee shall, for so long
as and to the extent required under Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy
Code in order that the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee be
entitled to the benefits of Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code with

America or any State or the District of Columbia, shall be a
"citizen of the United States" as defined in Section 101(16)

continuing; and

Trustee, the Owner Participant and the Indenture Trustee a
certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Lessee, and
an opinion of counsel to the Lessee (which may be Lessee's
General Counsel), each stating that such consolidation,
merger, conveyance, transfer or lease and the assumption
agreement mentioned in clause (i) comply with this Section
13(E) and that all conditions precedent herein provided for
relating to such transaction have been complied with (except
that such opinion need not cover the matters referred to in
clause (ii) above and may rely, as to factual matters, on a
certificate of an officer of the Lessee) and, in the case of
such opinion, that such assumption agreement has been duly
authorized, executed and delivered by such successor
corporation and is enforceable against such successor
corporation
73
AF-1

limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors

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 and the other Operative Documents with the same
effect as if such successor corporation had been named as the Lessee
herein. No such conveyance, transfer or lease of 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
13(E) from its liability hereunder. 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

(a) The Owner Participant hereby agrees to notify the Lessee or cause the
Lessee to be notified by telephone, telecopier or telegram not later than 1:00

Trust Indenture. Accordingly, the Excess Payment Amount shall be increased or
decreased (but not below zero), as the case may be, by an amount (the "Excess
Payment Differential Amount") equal to, as of the Base Lease Commencement Date,
the difference between (i) the aggregate amount of interest actually due and
payable on the Base Lease Commencement Date on the Certificates for the period
from and including the Delivery Date to but excluding the Base Lease
Commencement Date, determined as provided in the Trust Indenture, and (ii) the
aggregate amount of interest on the Loan Certificates that would have been due
and payable on the Base Lease Commencement Date if the outstanding principal
amount of such Loan Certificates had borne interest at the Assumed Debt Rate
for the period from and including the Delivery Date to but excluding the Base
Lease Commencement Date. If, as of the Base Lease Commencement Date, the
amount determined in accordance with clause (i) of the immediately preceding
sentence shall be greater than the amount determined in accordance with clause
(ii) of such sentence, the Excess Payment Amount shall be increased by the
Excess Payment Differential Amount. If, as of the Base Lease Commence-
82
AF-1
86
ment Date, the amount determined in accordance with such clause (ii) shall be
greater than the amount determined in accordance with such clause (i), the
Excess Payment Amount shall be decreased by the Excess Payment Differential
Amount. The interest actually accruing with respect to the Certificates shall
be as specified by the notification to be delivered by the Original Loan
Participant (whether or not it at the time holds any Loan Certificates) to each
of the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee, each other Loan Participant, the
Indenture Trustee and the Lessee as provided in Section 1(c) hereof.
(b) The Owner Participant hereby unconditionally agrees
with and for the benefit of the other parties to this Agreement that the Owner
Participant will not directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or suffer to
exist any Lessor's Liens on or against any part of the Trust Estate or the
Aircraft arising out of any act or omission of or claim against or affecting
any part of the Trust Estate or the Aircraft arising out of any act or omission
of or claim against the Owner Participant, and the Owner Participant agrees
that it will, at its own cost and expense, take such action as may be necessary
to duly discharge and satisfy in full any such Lessor's Lien (by bonding or
otherwise, so long as Lessee's operation and use of the Aircraft is not
impaired and the lien of the Indenture is not impaired). The Owner Participant
hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Lessee, the Indenture Trustee
and each Loan Participant against any loss, cost or expense (including
reasonable legal fees and expenses) which may be suffered or incurred by any of
them as the result of the failure of the Owner Participant to discharge and
satisfy any such Lessor's Lien. In addition, the Owner Participant agrees to
indemnify, protect, save and keep harmless each Loan Participant from and
against any reduction in the amount payable out of the Indenture Estate to such
Loan Participant in respect of the Certificates held by such Loan Participant
or any other loss, cost or expenses (including reasonable legal fees and
expenses) incurred by such Loan Participant, as a result of the imposition or
enforcement of, or the Owner Participant's failure to satisfy, any Lessor's
Lien or claim against the Indenture Estate by any taxing authority because of
the nonpayment by the Owner Participant of any Taxes imposed on or measured by
the net income or revenues of the Owner Participant or the Trust Estate that
are not required to be indemnified against by the Lessee.
83

87
(c) The Owner Participant shall not directly or
indirectly assign, convey or otherwise transfer any of its right, title or
interest in and to all or any part of this Agreement, the Tax Indemnity
Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Trust Estate, the Indenture Estate, the
Purchase Agreement Assignment, the Purchase Agreement or any of the other
Operative Documents except that the Owner Participant may assign, convey or
otherwise transfer all (but not less than all) thereof if:
(i) (A) the Person to whom such transfer is made (the
"Transferee") is a "citizen of the United States" within the meaning
of Section 101(16) of the Federal Aviation Act (without the
utilization of a voting trust agreement, voting powers agreement or
similar arrangement by the Transferee or any Affiliate thereof unless
the Owner Participant obtains the consent of the Lessee, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld), and has the requisite power,
authority and legal right to enter into and carry out the transactions
contemplated hereby; (B) such conveyance does not violate any
provisions of the Federal Aviation Act, the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (and no registration pursuant to such Act or the rules and
regulations thereunder shall be required in connection with such
conveyance), or any other applicable law, or create a relationship
which would be in violation thereof, or result in a "prohibited
transaction" under ERISA or the Code; (C) the Transferee enters into
an agreement or agreements, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Lessee, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture
Trustee (the "Assumption Agreement") for the benefit of the Lessee,
the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Loan Participants,
whereby the Transferee confirms that it shall be deemed a party to
this Participation Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Tax Indemnity
Agreement and each other Operative Document to which the Owner
Participant is a party, and the party named as the "Owner Participant"
in the Trust Agreement, the Lease and the Trust Indenture and agrees
to be bound by all of the terms of, and to undertake all of the
obligations of the Owner Participant contained in, this Agreement, the
Trust Agreement, the Tax Indemnity Agreement and each other Operative
Document to which the Owner Participant is a party or by which the
Owner Participant is bound, and in which the Transferee shall, as a
precondition
84
AF-1
88
to any such transfer, make representations and warranties
substantially equivalent to those of the Owner Participant contained
herein and, in the event such Transferee is a partnership, such
additional documents and/or amendments to the Operative Documents (in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lessee, the Owner
Trustee and the Indenture Trustee) as the Lessee, the Owner Trustee or
the Indenture Trustee may reasonably request; (D) after giving effect
to such assignment, conveyance or transfer, there would be no more
than one Owner Participant with respect to the Aircraft; (E) the Owner
Participant shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee
(unless the lien of the Trust Indenture is discharged) and the Lessee
an opinion of counsel (which shall be the general counsel of the
Transferee or other counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Lessee and
the Indenture Trustee), that the Assumption Agreement has been duly
authorized, executed and delivered by the Transferee and is
enforceable against such Transferee in accordance with its terms,
except as the same may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the
rights of creditors generally or by general principles of equity; (F)
the Owner Participant shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee (unless the lien of the Trust Indenture is
discharged) and the Lessee one or more certificates of a duly
authorized officer of the transferor and if necessary transferee Owner
Participant concerning, when taken together, all of the matters
contained in clauses (A) and (D) of this paragraph (i) and (except in
connection with any such assignment, transfer or conveyance to a
direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of American Telephone and
Telegraph Company) an opinion delivered by counsel of the type
referred to in clause (E) to the effect that such transfer complies
with the provisions of clauses (A) (except as to citizenship), (B) and
(D) of this paragraph (i); and (G) the transferor and/or transferee
Owner Participant assumes by an instrument in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Lessee and the Indenture Trustee the
risk of any adverse tax consequences to any Tax Indemnitee resulting
from such conveyance; and
(ii) either (A) the Transferee is a bank or lending
institution with a combined capital and
85
AF-1
89
surplus of at least $75,000,000, or is a corporation or domestic
partnership with net worth of at least $75,000,000, exclusive of
goodwill, all of the foregoing determined in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles (hereinafter referred to as a
"Qualifying Institution"), or (B) if the Transferee is not itself a
Qualifying Institution, a parent corporation of the Transferee which
qualifies as a Qualifying Institution shall have executed and
delivered to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee (unless the lien
of the Trust Indenture is discharged) and the Lessee an absolute and
unconditional guaranty, in form and substance satisfactory to the
Lessee and the Indenture Trustee, with respect to the obligations of
the Transferee as the Owner Participant assumed by the Transferee
under the Assumption Agreement referred to above, and the Transferee
shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee (unless the lien of the Trust
Indenture is discharged), the Owner Trustee and the Lessee an opinion
of counsel (which shall be the general counsel of the Qualifying
Institution providing such guaranty or other counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Lessee and the Indenture Trustee) that such
guaranty is enforceable against the guarantor in accordance with its
terms.
In the event that the Owner Participant is neither American
Telephone and Telegraph Company, AT&T Credit Corporation nor any other
Affiliate of American Telephone and Telegraph Company, any transfer by direct
sale, consolidation, merger or otherwise of 50% or more of the capital stock of
the Owner Participant (including, for this purpose, any such transfer of the
capital stock of any one of its direct or indirect parent companies or other
parent entities, other than its ultimate parent entity) (any such transfer
being referred to as a "Change in Control") shall be deemed to be a conveyance
by such Owner Participant of its interests in the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement subject to this Section 16(c), and accordingly no such Change in
Control shall take place without the Lessee's consent unless it satisfies the
terms and conditions set forth in this Section 16(c), including without
limitation those set forth in paragraphs (i) and (ii) above; provided that no
such transfer of the capital stock of an Owner Participant that is American
Telephone and Telegraph Company, AT&T Credit Corporation or any other Affiliate
of American Telephone and Telegraph Company (or any of the direct or indirect
86
AF-1
90
parent companies or other parent entities of any thereof) shall be prohibited
by or subject to the terms of this Section 16(c). Notwithstanding the
foregoing sentence, if (x) the obligations of such Owner Participant were
guaranteed at the time such Owner Participant became the Owner Participant
hereunder by a parent entity that was at such time a Qualifying Institution
(the "Parent Guarantor"), and (y) following a Change in Control, the Transferee
remains both a member of the controlled or consolidated group of companies of
which the Parent Guarantor is a part and a subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor,
such Transferee shall comply with the conditions set forth in paragraph (i)
above, but shall not be required to satisfy the conditions set forth in
paragraph (ii) above; provided that such guaranty of the Parent Guarantor is
amended to remain in full force and effect in respect of the Transferee and the
Transferee delivers to the Indenture Trustee (unless the lien of the Trust
Indenture is discharged), the Owner Trustee and the Lessee an opinion of
counsel (which shall be the general counsel of the Parent Guarantor or other
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Lessee) in form and substance
satisfactory to the Lessee and the Owner Trustee as to the continued legality,
validity and enforceability of such guaranty.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the Lease is in
effect, there shall not be more than five transfers (not including any transfer
to any Affiliate of American Telephone and Telegraph Company) by the Owner
Participant (including its successors and permitted assigns) pursuant to this
Section 16(c) without the prior written consent of the Lessee, such consent not
to be unreasonably withheld. Any fees, charges and expenses incurred by the
Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Lessee in connection with any
transfer pursuant to this Section 16(c), including, without limitation the
out-of-pocket expenses of the Lessee and reasonable legal fees and expenses,
will be paid by the transferring Owner Participant and in no case will the
Lessee be responsible for any such fees, charges or expenses. Without the
consent of the Lessee, no transfer shall be permitted pursuant to this Section
16(c) to a Transferee that is (i) an airline or other commercial operator of
aircraft that is a competitor of the Lessee or any of its Affiliates or (ii) a
corporation or other entity that is an Affiliate of any such airline or other
commercial operator of aircraft.
87
AF-1
91
Upon any such conveyance by the Owner Participant to a
Transferee permitted by this Section 16(c), the Transferee shall be deemed the
"Owner Participant" for all purposes hereof (unless the context is
inappropriate) and shall be deemed to have made all the investments in
beneficial ownership of the Aircraft previously made by the Owner Participant
in respect of the right, title and interest so conveyed; and each reference in
this Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Lease, the Tax Indemnity Agreement,
the Trust Indenture and the other Operative Documents to the Owner Participant
making the transfer shall thereafter be deemed a reference to the Transferee as
the Owner Participant (unless the context is inappropriate). Upon any such
conveyance by the Owner Participant to a Transferee permitted by the foregoing
provisions of this Section 16(c), the transferor Owner Participant shall be
relieved of all of its liabilities and obligations hereunder and under the
Trust Agreement to the extent of the interest so transferred, provided that in
no event will any such conveyance release the transferor Owner Participant from
any liability to the extent caused by any breach existing at the time of such
conveyance by the Owner Participant of any of its representations, warranties,
covenants or obligations contained herein or in the Trust Agreement. If the
Owner Participant proposes to transfer its interests pursuant to this Section
16(c), it shall give 20 days' (or, in the case of a transfer where the
Transferee is an Affiliate of the Owner Participant making the transfer, 10
days') prior written notice thereof to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee
and the Lessee, specifying the name and address of the transferee and
specifying the facts necessary to determine whether the conditions of this
Section 16(c) have been or shall be satisfied.
SECTION 17. Optional Redemption of Certificates. (a) So
long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lessee
shall have the right to request the Owner Participant and the Owner Trustee to
effect an optional redemption of all of the Certificates (the "Outstanding
Certificates") (such term to include the Certificates originally issued under
the Trust Indenture and any refunding indebtedness issued pursuant to this
Section 17 or Section 20) pursuant to the Trust Indenture as part of a
refunding or refinancing operation. Promptly on receipt of such request, the
Owner Participant will negotiate promptly in good faith to conclude an
agreement
88
AF-1
92
with the Lessee as to the terms of such refunding or refinancing operation and
upon such agreement:
(i) the Lessee, the Owner Participant, the Indenture
Trustee, the Owner Trustee, and any other appropriate parties will
enter into a financing or loan agreement (which may involve an
underwriting agreement in connection with a public offering; provided,
however, that in the case of a refunding or refinancing involving a
public offering of debt securities, the Lessee shall have the right to
purchase such debt securities and apply such debt securities as a
credit against its obligations to pay Rent to the extent permitted by
the Tax Indemnity Agreement) providing for (x) the issuance and sale
by the Owner Trustee or such other party as may be appropriate to such
institution or institutions on the date specified in such agreement
(for the purposes of this Section 17, the "Refunding Date") of United
States Dollar-denominated debt securities in an aggregate principal
amount equal to the sum of the principal amount of the Outstanding
Certificates on the Refunding Date and, subject to clause (w) of
Section 17(a)(ii), all interest accrued thereon to the Refunding Date
and (y) the application of the proceeds of the sale of such debt
securities to the redemption of all such Certificates on the Refunding
Date;
(ii) the Lessee and the Owner Trustee will amend the Lease
such that (w) if the Refunding Date is not a Lease Period Date, the
Lessee shall on the Refunding Date prepay that portion of the next
succeeding installment of Basic Rent as shall equal the aggregate
interest accrued on the Outstanding Certificates to the Refunding Date
in the event that such interest is not financed through the issuance
of debt securities on the Refunding Date (provided that if the
Refunding Date occurs on or prior to the Base Lease Commencement Date,
the Owner Participant may, pursuant to Section 16(a) hereof on the
Refunding Date prepay the Excess Payment Amount), (x) Basic Rent
payable in respect of the period from and after the Refunding Date
shall be recalculated to preserve the Owner Participant's Net Economic
Return (or, in the case of any recalculation hereunder subsequent to
any Section 20 Refinancing, the Owner Participant's Revised Net
Economic Return), (y) amounts payable in
89
AF-1
93
respect of Stipulated Loss Value and Termination Value from and after
the Refunding Date shall be appropriately recalculated to preserve the
Owner Participant's Net Economic Return (or, in the case of any
recalculation hereunder subsequent to the Section 20 Refinancing, the
Owner Participant's Revised Net Economic Return) and (z) the Special
Purchase Price and the Special Purchase Option Date shall be
recalculated as provided in Section 18;
(iii) the Owner Trustee will enter into an agreement to
provide for the securing thereunder of the debt securities issued by
the Owner Trustee pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 17 in like
manner as the Certificates issuable under the Trust Indenture and/or
will enter into such amendments and supplements to the Trust Indenture
as may be necessary to effect such refunding or refinancing, provided
that no such amendment or supplement will materially increase the
liabilities of or impair the rights of the Owner Participant under the
Operative Documents without the consent of the Owner Participant; and
(iv) unless otherwise agreed by the Owner Participant,
the Lessee shall pay as Supplemental Rent on an After-Tax Basis all
reasonable fees, costs, and expenses of such refunding or refinancing;
provided, however, that (w) there shall be no more than two such refundings or
refinancings (not including the Section 20 Refinancing), (x) if within 15 days
after receipt of a request from the Lessee to effect a refunding or refinancing
pursuant to this Section 17, which request specifies the proposed structural
terms and the amount thereof, the Owner Participant provides the Lessee with a
written notice to the effect that there will be a risk of adverse tax
consequences to the Owner Participant resulting from the refunding or
refinancing and, if then requested by the Lessee in writing, within 15 days
after receipt of such request, the Owner Participant provides the Lessee with a
written opinion of independent tax counsel selected by the Owner Participant
and reasonably acceptable to the Lessee to the effect that there will be a risk
of such adverse tax consequences to the Owner Participant resulting from the
refunding or refinancing (other than the consequence that the refinanced loan
constitutes "qualified nonrecourse indebtedness" within
90
AF-1
94
the meaning of Temporary Regulations Section 1.861-10T(b) for the purpose of
the computation of the FSC Benefits (as defined in the Tax Indemnity
Agreement)), then the Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant shall be required
to effect such refunding or refinancing only if the Lessee shall have agreed to
indemnify the Owner Participant against such identified adverse tax
consequences in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Participant;
provided, however, the parties agree that in the absence of a change in
applicable laws, regulations, revenue rulings, revenue procedures or judicial
precedents enacted, adopted or decided after the Delivery Date, a refinancing
or refunding will not be deemed for this purpose to result in a risk of the
Owner Participant not being considered the owner of the Aircraft, Airframe, any
Engine or any Part for Federal or other income tax purposes, (y) no such
refinancing or refunding shall require an increase in the amount of the Owner
Participant's investment in the beneficial ownership of the Aircraft or shall
cause the ratio of the newly issued debt to the Owner Participant's then
outstanding investment in the Aircraft to be more than 4 to 1 and (z) except
with respect to matters relating to taxes, no such refunding or refinancing
will materially increase the liabilities of or impair the rights of the Owner
Participant. In addition, if any such refunding or refinancing occurs after
the Section 20 Refinancing, neither the refunding or refinancing, nor any
related adjustment of Basic Rent, shall increase or decrease the periodic FASB
13 earnings of the Owner Participant for any calendar year in the period (if
any) from the date of such refunding or refinancing to December 31, 1998 each
by an amount greater than 10% of the amount of earnings expected for each such
calendar year immediately prior to such refunding or refinancing.
(b) The Certificates, and any other debt instruments issued
in connection with any refunding or refinancing operation permitted by this
Section 17, shall not be subject to optional redemption by the Owner Trustee
without the consent of the Lessee (except as provided in Section 2.13 of the
Trust Indenture).
SECTION 18. Calculation of Adjustments to Basic Rent,
Stipulated Loss Value, Termination Value, etc.; Confirmation and Verification.
(a) Calculation of Adjustments. In the event that (A) the expenses paid by the
Owner Participant pursuant to Section 9(a) hereof (except for any expenses paid
or payable to any financial advisor
91
AF-1
95
to the Owner Participant) and such other expenses as the Lessee shall expressly
agree in writing shall be deemed to be "Transaction Costs" (collectively, the
"Transaction Costs") are less or more than 1.0% of Lessor's Cost, or (B) prior
to the acceptance of the Aircraft on the Delivery Date: (1) there shall have
occurred a Change in Tax Law and (2) after having been advised in writing by
the Owner Participant of such Change in Tax Law and the proposed adjustment to
the payments of Basic Rent resulting therefrom, Lessee shall have waived its
right under Section 11 hereof to decline to proceed with the transaction, or
(C) a refinancing or refunding as contemplated by Section 17 hereof occurs (it
being understood that if the Refunding Date occurs on or prior to the Base
Lease Commencement Date, any recalculations pursuant to this clause (C) shall
take into account any prepayment by the Owner Participant on such Refunding
Date of the Excess Payment Amount pursuant to Section 16(a) hereof under clause
(w) of Section 17(a)(ii) hereof or under clause (w) of Section 20(a)(ii)
hereof), or (D) the Delivery Date is other than June 17, 1992, or (E) if the
Certificates are not refunded or refinanced on or prior to the Base Lease
Commencement Date, the Excess Payment Amount (after adjustment for any Excess
Payment Differential Amount) is other than $2,534,836.99, then, in each case,
the Owner Participant shall recalculate the payments of Basic Rent and
Stipulated Loss Values, Termination Values and the Excess Payment Amount with
respect to the Term (i) to preserve the Owner Participant's Net Economic Return
(or, in the case of any recalculation hereunder subsequent to the Section 20
Refinancing, the Owner Participant's Revised Net Economic Return) and (ii) to
minimize to the greatest extent possible, consistent with the foregoing clause
(i), the present value (discounted semiannually at an interest rate per annum
to be supplied by the Lessee) of the payments of Basic Rent. In addition, in
the event of a refinancing or refunding referred to in clause (C) of the
preceding sentence, the Special Purchase Price Percentage and the Special
Purchase Option Date shall be recalculated in a manner consistent with the
procedures specified in the second sentence of Section 20(c). In performing
any such recalculations, the Owner Participant shall utilize the same methods
and assumptions originally used to calculate the payments of Basic Rent,
Stipulated Loss Values, Termination Values and Special Purchase Price
Percentage with respect to the Term (or, in the case of any recalculation
hereunder subsequent to the Section 20 Refinancing, the same methods and
assumptions originally used by
92
AF-1
96
the original Owner Participant in the calculation of the alternate schedules
referred to in the definition of the Owner Participant's Revised Net Economic
Return and the Special Purchase Price Percentage and held in escrow by Sidley &
Austin pursuant to Section 18(d)) (in each case as such assumptions may be
changed as a result of the event described in clause (A), (B), (C) or (D) of
the second preceding sentence necessitating such recalculation or due to the
prior occurrence of any such event or the prior occurrence of the Section 20
Refinancing); provided that, Basic Rent, as so recomputed, shall comply with
the requirements of Sections 4.02(5) and 4.07(1) of Revenue Procedure 75-28,
1975-1 C.B. 752, and shall not present a greater risk that Section 467(b)(2) of
the Code would apply than the risk that Section 467(b)(2) applied prior to such
recomputation, it being agreed that the requirements of clause (i) of Section
5.01 of Rev. Proc. 75-21, 1975-1 C.B. 715, shall be applied on a prospective
basis.
(b) Confirmation and Verification. Upon completion of any
recalculation described above in Section 18(a), a duly authorized officer of
the Owner Participant shall provide a certificate to the Lessee either (x)
stating that the payments of Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss Values and Termination
Values with respect to the Term and, in the case of the second sentence of
Section 18(a), the Special Purchase Price Percentage as are then applicable do
not require change, or (y) setting forth such adjustments to the payments of
Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss Values or Termination Values with respect to the
Term and, in the case of the second sentence of Section 18(a), the Special
Purchase Price Percentage as have been calculated by the Owner Participant in
accordance with Section 18(a) above and Section 3(e) of the Lease. Such
certificate shall describe in reasonable detail the basis for any such
adjustments. If the Lessee shall so request, the recalculation of any such
adjustments described in this Section 18 shall be verified by a nationally
recognized firm of independent public accountants jointly selected by the
Lessee and the Owner Participant (provided that such firm of independent public
accountants shall not be regularly retained by either the Lessee or the Owner
Participant). A representative of such firm shall be shown, on a confidential
basis, the original assumptions used by the Owner Participant and held in
escrow by Sidley & Austin pursuant to Section 18(d) and the methods used by the
Owner Participant in the original calculation of, and any recalculation of,
93
AF-1
97
Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss Values and Termination Values and, in the case of
the second sentence of Section 18(a), the Special Purchase Price Percentage
(or, in the case of any recalculation hereunder subsequent to the Section 20
Refinancing, the same methods and assumptions originally used by the original
Owner Participant in the calculation of the alternate schedules referred to in
the definition of the Owner Participant's Revised Net Economic Return and the
Special Purchase Price Percentage held in escrow by Sidley & Austin pursuant to
Section 18(d)). The reasonable costs of such verification shall be borne by
the Lessee, unless as a result of such verification process the payments of
Basic Rent are adjusted and such adjustment causes (i) the present value of the
payments of Basic Rent, discounted semi-annually at the Assumed Debt Rate, to
decline by five basis points or more from the present value of the payments of
Basic Rent, discounted semi-annually at the Assumed Debt Rate, certified by the
Owner Participant pursuant to this Section 18(b) or (ii) any Stipulated Loss
Value or Termination Value percentage or, in the case of the second sentence of
Section 18(a), the Special Purchase Price Percentage, to be significantly below
that certified by the Owner Participant pursuant to this Section 18(b), in
which case the Owner Participant shall be responsible for the reasonable costs
of such verification. In connection with any adjustment pursuant to this
Section 18 or Section 20, the Owner Participant, the Lessee, the Owner Trustee
and the Indenture Trustee shall enter into an appropriately revised Rent
Schedule.
(c) Payment of Debt Service. No adjustment may be made to
the payments of Basic Rent or to Stipulated Loss Values or Termination Values
with respect to the Term, unless (i) each installment of Basic Rent (or, in the
case of the Base Lease Commencement Date, the Excess Payment Amount), as so
adjusted, under any circumstances and in any event, will be in an amount at
least sufficient for the Owner Trustee to pay in full as of the due date of
such installment any payment of principal or interest on the Certificates
required to be paid on the due date of such installment of Basic Rent (or on
the Base Lease Commencement Date, as the case may be) and (ii) Stipulated Loss
Value and Termination Value, as so adjusted, under any circumstances and in any
event, will be an amount which, together with any other amounts required to be
paid by the Lessee under the Lease in connection with an Event of Loss or a
termination of the Lease, as the case may be,
94
AF-1
98
will be at least sufficient to pay in full, as of the date of payment thereof,
the aggregate unpaid principal of and all unpaid interest on the Certificates
accrued to the date on which Stipulated Loss Value or Termination Value, as the
case may be, is paid in accordance with the terms of the Lease.
(d) Escrow. The Owner Participant agrees to place in escrow
with Sidley & Austin, and to cause Sidley & Austin to retain, (i) the
assumptions and methods utilized by the Owner Participant in the calculation of
the schedules of Basic Rent, Termination Value and Stipulated Loss Value
referred to the definition of the Owner Participant's Net Economic Return, and
in the calculation of the Special Purchase Price Percentage as of the Delivery
Date, (ii) the assumptions and methods utilized by the Owner Participant in the
calculation of the alternate schedules of Basic Rent, Termination Value and
Stipulated Loss Value referred to in the definition of the Owner Participant's
Revised Net Economic Return, together with such alternate schedules, and the
Special Purchase Price Percentage applicable to a lease financing accomplished
pursuant to such alternate schedules (calculated to preserve the Special
Purchase Price Yield to the applicable Special Purchase Option Date in
accordance with the methodology described in the second sentence to Section
20(c)), copies of which alternate schedules and such Special Purchase Price
Percentage have been provided to the Lessee, and (iii) any adjustments made to
any of the assumptions referred to in clause (i) or (ii) of this sentence to
take into account the effect of any change of the type specified in Section
3(e) of the Lease which theretofore has resulted in an adjustment of the
percentages of Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss Value, Termination Value or Special
Purchase Price Percentage. In connection with the foregoing, the Owner
Participant will provide Sidley & Austin with such supporting documents and
materials, and access to such computer programs and/or software, as would be
complete and sufficient, without more, to enable the verification, as
contemplated by Section 18(b), of any calculations made by the Owner
Participant under this Section 18 or Section 20.
SECTION 19. Concerning the Owner Trustee.
Wilmington Trust Company is entering into this Agreement solely in its capacity
as Owner Trustee under the Trust Agreement and not in its individual capacity
(except as expressly stated herein) and in no case shall Wilmington
95
AF-1
99
Trust Company (or any entity acting as successor Owner Trustee under the Trust
Agreement) be personally liable for or on account of any of the statements,
representations, warranties, covenants or obligations stated to be those of the
Owner Trustee hereunder, provided, however, that Wilmington Trust Company (or
any such successor Owner Trustee) shall be personally liable hereunder for its
own gross negligence or willful misconduct or for its breach of its covenants,
representations and warranties contained herein, to the extent covenanted or
made in its individual capacity.
SECTION 20. Section 20 Refinancing. (a) In addition to the
provisions set forth in Section 17, whether or not a refunding or refinancing
pursuant to such Section 17 shall have previously occurred, and with regard to
the role of Credit (as defined in the Tax Indemnity Agreement) in the
transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements, at any time the Lessee
shall have the right to request the Owner Participant and the Owner Trustee to
effect an optional redemption of all of the Outstanding Certificates as part of
a refunding or refinancing operation with refinancing indebtedness with respect
to which the refinancing indebtedness has a final maturity date of at least six
months after the final maturity date of the Outstanding Certificates and has a
weighted average life to maturity at least 90 days longer than the remaining
weighted average life to maturity of the outstanding Certificates (such
refinancing hereinafter referred to as the "Section 20 Refinancing"). Promptly
on receipt of such request (which request shall specifically designate such
refinancing as the Section 20 Refinancing), the Owner Participant will, in good
faith, use all reasonable efforts to conclude an agreement with the Lessee as
to the terms of such Section 20 Refinancing and upon such agreement:
(i) the Lessee, the Owner Participant, the Indenture
Trustee, the Owner Trustee, and any other appropriate parties will
enter into a financing or loan agreement (which may involve an
underwriting agreement in connection with a public offering; provided,
however, that in the case of a refunding or refinancing involving a
public offering of debt securities, the Lessee shall have the right to
purchase such debt securities and apply such debt securities as a
credit against its obligations to pay Rent to the extent permitted by
the Tax Indemnity

Agreement) providing for (x) the issuance and sale by the Owner
Trustee or such other party as may be appropriate to such institution
or institutions on the date specified in such agreement (for the
purposes of this Section 20, the "Section 20 Refunding Date") of
United States Dollar-denominated debt securities in an aggregate
principal amount at least equal to the principal amount of the
Outstanding Certificates on the Section 20 Refunding Date and, subject
to clause (w) of Section 20(a)(ii), all interest accrued thereon to
the Section 20 Refunding Date and (y) the application of the proceeds
of the sale of such debt securities to the redemption of all such
Certificates on the Section 20 Refunding Date;
(ii) the Lessee and the Owner Trustee will amend the Lease
such that (w) if the Section 20 Refunding Date is not a Lease Period
Date, the Lessee shall on the Section 20 Refunding Date prepay that
portion of the next succeeding installment of Basic Rent as shall
equal the aggregate interest accrued on the Outstanding Certificates
to the Section 20 Refunding Date in the event that such interest is
not financed through the issuance of debt securities on the Section 20
Refunding Date, provided that if the Section 20 Refunding Date occurs
on or prior to the Base Lease Commencement Date, the Owner Participant
may, pursuant to Section 16(a), prepay the Excess Payment Amount or
such portion thereof on the Section 20 Refunding Date as the Lessee
and the Owner Participant shall agree is advisable in order to
optimize the revised rental schedules to be calculated pursuant to
Section 20(c), (x) Basic Rent payable in respect of the period from
and after the Section 20 Refunding Date shall be recalculated pursuant
to Section 20(c) to preserve the Owner Participant's Revised Net
Economic Return, (y) amounts payable in respect of Stipulated Loss
Value and Termination Value from and after the Section 20 Refunding
Date shall be appropriately recalculated pursuant to Section 20(c) to
preserve the Owner Participant's Revised Net Economic Return and (z)
the Special Purchase Price Percentage and the Special Purchase Option
Date shall be recalculated pursuant to Section 20(c);
(iii) the Owner Trustee will enter into an agreement to
provide for the securing thereunder of the
97
AF-1
101
debt securities issued by the Owner Trustee pursuant to clause (a) of
this Section 20 in like manner as the Certificates issuable under the
Trust Indenture and/or will enter into such amendments and supplements
to the Trust Indenture as may be necessary to effect such refunding or
refinancing; and
(iv) unless otherwise agreed by the Owner Participant, the
Lessee shall pay as Supplemental Rent on an After-Tax Basis all
reasonable fees, costs, and expenses of such refunding or refinancing;
provided, however, that if within 15 days after receipt of a request from the
Lessee to effect the Section 20 Refinancing, which request specifies the
proposed structural terms of such refinancing and the amount of refinancing
indebtedness, the Owner Participant provides the Lessee with a written notice
to the effect that there will be a risk of adverse tax consequences to the
Owner Participant resulting from the Section 20 Refinancing and, if then
requested by the Lessee in writing, within 15 days after receipt of such
request, the Owner Participant provides the Lessee with a written opinion of
independent tax counsel selected by the Owner Participant and reasonably
acceptable to the Lessee to the effect that there will be a risk of such
adverse tax consequences to the Owner Participant resulting from the Section 20
Refinancing (other than the consequence that the refinanced loan constitutes
"qualified nonrecourse indebtedness" within the meaning of Temporary
Regulations Section 1.861-10T(b) for the purpose of the computation of the FSC
Benefits (as defined in the Tax Indemnity Agreement)), then the Owner Trustee
and the Owner Participant shall be required to effect the Section 20
Refinancing only if the Lessee shall have agreed to indemnify the Owner
Participant against such identified adverse tax consequences in a manner
reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Participant; provided, however, the
parties agree that in the absence of a change in applicable laws, regulations,
revenue rulings, revenue procedures or judicial precedents enacted, adopted or
decided after the Delivery Date, the Section 20 Refinancing will not be deemed
for this purpose to result in a risk of the Owner Participant not being
considered the owner of the Aircraft, Airframe, any Engine or any Part for
Federal or other income tax purposes.
Each of the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee, each Loan
Participant and the Indenture Trustee agrees
98
AF-1
102
to use all reasonable efforts to facilitate the Section 20 Refinancing,
including, without limitation, by making such modifications to, or entering
into such amendments and supplements to, the Operative Documents as may be
appropriate or necessary to effect the Section 20 Refinancing.
(b) The Section 20 Refinancing shall not constitute a
refunding or refinancing for the purposes of Section 17. Any debt instruments
issued in connection with the Section 20 Refinancing shall not be subject to
optional redemption by the Owner Trustee without the consent of the Lessee
(except as provided in Section 2.13 of the Trust Indenture).
(c) In connection with the Section 20 Refinancing, the Owner
Participant shall recalculate the payments of Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss
Values and Termination Values with respect to the Term and, if the Section 20
Refunding Date occurs on or prior to the Base Lease Commencement Date, the
Excess Payment Amount payable pursuant to Section 16(a) hereof (such
recalculation of the Excess Payment Amount to take into account any prepayment
by the Owner Participant on such Section 20 Refunding Date of all or part of
the Excess Payment Amount under clause (w) of Section 20(a)(ii)), (i) to
achieve the Owner Participant's Revised Net Economic Return, and (ii) to
minimize, to the greatest extent possible consistent with the foregoing clause
(i), the present value (discounted semiannually at an interest rate per annum
to be supplied by the Lessee) of the payments of Basic Rent. In addition, in
such event, the Special Purchase Price Percentage shall be recalculated in
order to preserve the Special Purchase Price Yield to the Special Purchase
Option Date of July 2, 2012; provided that the Special Purchase Price
Percentage for the Special Purchase Option Date, as so adjusted, shall not be
less than 56.9%. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner Participant, the
Owner Trustee and the Lessee agree that, at the Lessee's option, the Lessee may
request that the Special Purchase Option Date be changed (and that the Special
Purchase Price Percentage be recalculated as of such changed date) to whichever
of the four Lease Period Dates preceding the Special Purchase Option Date or
the two Lease Period Dates following the Special Purchase Option Date (each, an
"Alternate Special Purchase Option Date") would result in the lowest possible
sum of (1) the present value (discounted semiannually at an interest rate per
annum to be supplied by the Lessee) of the payments of Basic Rent for the
period from the Sec-
99
AF-1
103
tion 20 Refunding Date to and including the applicable Alternate Special
Purchase Option Date (but excluding any Basic Rent designated as payable in
advance on such Alternate Special Purchase Option Date) and (2) the present
value (discounted semiannually at an interest rate per annum to be supplied by
the Lessee) of the Special Purchase Price as of such Alternate Special Purchase
Option Date, and that, if necessary, the Lease shall be amended to reflect the
change in the Special Purchase Option Date from July 2, 2012 to whichever of
the Alternate Special Purchase Option Dates as would give rise to the lowest
such sum; provided that upon any such request by the Lessee to change the
Special Purchase Option Date to an Alternate Special Purchase Option Date, the
Owner Participant shall, at its cost and expense, obtain an estimate of the
fair market value (taking into account a reasonable estimate for inflation and
deflation) of the Aircraft, as of any Alternate Special Purchase Option Dates
specified by the Lessee, from BK Associates, Inc. or, if BK Associates, Inc.
shall not then be an independent aircraft appraiser, from an independent
aircraft appraiser selected by mutual agreement of the Owner Participant and
the Lessee or, if they shall be unable to agree, from an appraiser selected
pursuant to an Independent Appraisal (except that all costs and expenses of
such appraiser shall be borne by the Owner Participant) and, if the estimated
fair market value of the Aircraft determined by such appraiser (expressed as a
percentage of Lessor's Cost) is more than the Special Purchase Price Percentage
calculated for the Alternate Special Purchase Option Date as provided above in
this sentence to which the Lessee has requested the Special Purchase Option
Date be changed, the Special Purchase Option Date shall remain unchanged and
the Special Purchase Price Percentage shall be the percentage determined in
accordance with the preceding sentence, unless the Lessee elects that the
Special Purchase Price Percentage as of such Alternate Special Purchase Option
Date shall be equal to such estimated fair market value (computed as a
percentage of Lessor's Cost), in which case the Lease shall be amended to
reflect such Alternate Special Purchase Option Date. In performing any such
recalculations in respect of Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss Value and Termination
Value, the Owner Participant shall utilize the same methods and assumptions
originally used to calculate the alternate schedules of Basic Rent, Stipulated
Loss Values and Termination Values referred to in the definition of the Owner
Participant's Revised Net Economic Return and in performing any such
recalculations
100
AF-1
104
in respect of the Special Purchase Price Percentage, the Owner Participant
shall, subject to the proviso to the preceding sentence, utilize the same
methods and assumptions originally used to calculate the Special Purchase Price
Percentage held in escrow by Sidley & Austin pursuant to Section 18(d) (other
than, in each case, those assumptions changed as a result of the Section 20
Refinancing; it being agreed that such recalculation shall reflect solely any
changes of assumptions or facts resulting directly from such Section 20
Refinancing or due to the prior occurrence of any event taken into account in a
recalculation pursuant to Section 18), provided that, Basic Rent, as so
recomputed, shall comply with the requirements of Sections 4.02(5) and 4.07(1)
of Revenue Procedure 75-28, 1975-1 C.B. 752, and shall not present a greater
risk that Section 467(b)(2) of the Code would apply than the risk that Section
467(b)(2) applied prior to such recomputation, it being agreed that the
requirements of clause (i) of Section 5.01 of Rev. Proc. 75-21, 1975-1 C.B.
715, shall be applied on a prospective basis.
Upon completion of any recalculation described above in this
Section 20(c), a duly authorized officer of the Owner Participant shall provide
a certificate to the Lessee either (x) stating that the payments of Basic Rent,
Stipulated Loss Values and Termination Values with respect to the Term, and the
Special Purchase Price Percentage and the Special Purchase Option Date, as are
then set forth in the Lease do not require change, or (y) setting forth such
adjustments to the payments of Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss Values or
Termination Values with respect to the Term and the Special Purchase Price
Percentage and the Special Purchase Option Date, as have been calculated by the
Owner Participant in accordance with the above provisions. Such certificate
shall describe in reasonable detail the basis for any such adjustments. If the
Lessee shall so request, the recalculation of any such adjustments described in
this Section 20 shall be verified by procedures substantially identical to the
verification procedures set forth in Section 18(b). No adjustment may be made
to the payments of Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss Values or Termination Values
with respect to the Term pursuant to this Section 20 except in accordance with
the provisions of Section 18(c).
Section 21. Miscellaneous. (a) Nothing contained in this
Agreement, or in the Lease, the Trust Indenture, the Trust Agreement or the Tax
Indemnity Agree-
101
AF-1
105
ment shall be construed as a guarantee by the Lessee of payments due pursuant
to the Certificates or of the residual value or useful life of the Aircraft or
any portion thereof.
(b) Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited and
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. This Agreement may be
executed by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall
together constitute but one and the same instrument. Neither this Agreement
nor any of the terms hereof may be terminated, amended, supplemented, waived or
modified orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party
against which the enforcement of the termination, amendment, supplement, waiver
or modification is sought. The section and paragraph headings in this
Agreement and the index preceding this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and shall not modify, define, expand or limit any of the terms
or provisions hereof and all references herein to numbered sections, unless
otherwise indicated, are to sections of this Agreement.
(c) The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and
shall inure to the benefit of, the Lessee and, subject to the terms of Section
13(E) hereof, its successors and permitted assigns, the Indenture Trustee and
its successors as Indenture Trustee under the Trust Indenture, the Owner
Trustee and its successors as Owner Trustee under the Trust Agreement, the
Owner Participant and, subject to the provisions of Section 16(c) hereof, its
successors and permitted assigns, and the Original Loan Participant and,
subject to the provisions of Section 9(p) hereof, the other Loan Participants.
Each Loan Participant other than the Original Loan Participant, by its
acceptance of any Certificate, shall be deemed to have irrevocably and
unconditionally agreed to perform the obligations of a Loan Participant
hereunder and under the Trust Indenture.
(d) With respect to any opinion required to be delivered
under any Operative Document by counsel to any
102
AF-1
106
party hereto, each party hereto hereby irrevocably instructs its applicable
counsel to deliver such opinion to and for the benefit of the parties that are
the addressees of such opinion.
THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN DELIVERED IN THE STATE OF 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.

evidenced by one or more Certificates issued to the Original Loan Participant
by the Owner Trustee in the manner described herein and in the Indenture. The
amount of the Owner Participant's participation required to be made as above

"Commitment" for the Aircraft.
(c) Prepayment of Certificates; Determination of Debt Rate.
Each of the Loan Participants and the Owner Participant hereby agrees that,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Participation
Agreement, the Lease, the Trust Indenture, the Certificates, or the Trust
Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Lessee, the Owner Trustee
shall not take any action with respect to the Certificates concerning the
optional prepayment of such Certificates (except as provided in Section 2.13 of
the Trust Indenture), or the selection of the Debt Rate to be borne at any time
or from time to time by such Certificates, or the Interest Periods to be
applicable to the calculation of interest on the Certificates. The Owner
Trustee hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Lessee to act as its
exclusive agent (and agrees that it will not act other than through the Lessee,
as such agent) for the purpose of selecting the durations of the Interest
Periods to be applicable from time to time to calculations of interest on the
Certificates and designating the Debt Rate from time to time to be borne on the
Certificates. Each of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Participant and each
Loan Participant hereby consents to such appointment and authorization. In
taking any actions as agent of the Owner Trustee as aforesaid, the Lessee shall
be authorized to deal directly with the Indenture Trustee and the Loan
Participants, and the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee, each Loan
Participant and the Indenture Trustee each agrees to cooperate with the Lessee
and the Original Loan Participant and otherwise to do all things and take all
actions reasonably necessary to effect the actions taken by the Lessee as the
agent of the Owner Trustee under this Section 1(c). Except to the extent
otherwise provided in Section 2.01 of the Trust Indenture, the Debt Rate
applicable to the Loan Certificates for each Interest Period shall be
determined by election of the
5
AF-2

Lessee (as agent for the Owner Trustee) by delivering telephonic notice to the
Original Loan Participant (at all times prior to July 9, 1995, and, subsequent
to such date, for so long as it holds any Loan Certificates, and thereafter to
each Loan Participant), followed in each case by telexed, telecopied or other
written confirmation given so as to be effective by 1:00 p.m. (New York City
time) on the date of such telephonic notice (with a copy to the Indenture
Trustee and the Owner Trustee), not less than three London Business Days prior
to the beginning of the applicable Interest Period, in the case of a LIBOR
Loan, and not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the second New
York Business Day preceding the beginning of the applicable Interest Period, in
the case of a Short Period Rate Loan, specifying the duration of such Interest
Period and whether the Debt Rate for such Interest Period shall be determined
by reference to the LIBOR Rate or the Short Period Rate. The Indenture Trustee
shall provide to each Loan Participant other than the Original Loan Participant
a copy of any notice provided by the Lessee to the Original Loan Participant
pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence promptly after receipt thereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lessee may only select a Short Period Rate
(i) during any period, and from time to time during such period, in which the
Lessee is in contemplation of a proposed prepayment of the Loan Certificates
pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.14 of the Trust Indenture (whether or not a
notice of prepayment has been given pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.14 of the
Trust Indenture) or (ii) at any time when the selection of a LIBOR Rate would
result in the succeeding Interest Period commencing on a day other than the
ninth day of a calendar month. The Original Loan Participant (at all times
prior to July 9, 1995, and, subsequent to such date, for so long as it holds
any Loan Certificates, and thereafter to each Loan Participant) shall provide
to each of the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee, each other Loan
Participant, the Indenture Trustee and the Lessee an officer's certificate
setting forth the applicable interest rate and the interest expected to accrue
on the Loan Certificates during the applicable Interest Period promptly after
the commencement of such Interest Period and, as soon as practicable prior to
each Lease Period Date (but in no event later than 11:00 A.M. New York City
time on the Business Day immediately preceding such Lease Period Date), shall
provide such notification of the aggregate amount of interest that will be
actually due and payable on the Loan Certificates on such Lease Period Date.

SECTION 5. Postponement of Delivery Date. (a) In the event

Trustee in accordance with the terms of Section 2 hereof, or (ii) the Owner
Participant shall for any reason fail or refuse to make the full amount of its
Commitment for the Aircraft available to the Owner Trustee in accordance with
the terms of Section 2 hereof, the Owner Trustee will forthwith give each party
hereto telex, facsimile or telegraphic notice of such default and the Delivery
Date for the Aircraft will be postponed up to the fifth succeeding Business Day
as the Lessee may direct (and the term "Delivery Date" as used in this
Agreement shall thereafter mean such postponed "Delivery Date"); provided that
such postponed Delivery Date shall not be a date later than July 31, 1992.
During such period, the Lessee shall have the right to find another leasing or

Participant or Owner Participant, as the case may be; provided that in either
event the institution so substituted shall sign and deliver an agreement, in
19
AF-2
23
form and substance satisfactory to the Lessee, by which it will assume the
balance of the Commitment of the non-participating Original Loan Participant or
Owner Participant, as the case may be. Upon the execution and delivery of such
agreement, the institution so substituted shall become the Original Loan
Participant or the Owner Participant, as the case may be, and shall be deemed
substituted for the non-participating Participant, for all purposes of this
Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Trust Indenture, and the Lease and to have
assumed all obligations of the non-participating Participant thereunder which
accrue after the date of execution and delivery. No action by the Lessee under
this Section 5(a) shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or release of any
right which the Lessee may have against the defaulting Participant. In the
event that the Lessee cannot find another institution to be substituted for the
non-participating Participant within such five Business Day period, then, in
such event (i) the Owner Trustee shall not accept delivery of the Aircraft and

notice of such postponement and notice of the date to which such Delivery Date
has been postponed, such notice of postponement to be received by each party no
later than 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on the originally scheduled Delivery

delivery of any Certificates or any interest in the Trust Estate. Without
limitation of the foregoing, the Lessee agrees to pay the reasonable ongoing

Lessee's agreement to indemnify any Indemnitee under this Section 7(b):
(i) Any Claim to the extent caused by acts or events
occurring after the earlier of (x) the return of the Aircraft under
the Lease (it being understood that the date of the placement of the
Aircraft in storage as provided in Section 5(d) of the Lease
constitutes the date of return of the Aircraft under the Lease), and
(y) the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease under
circumstances not requiring the return of the Aircraft, unless and to
the extent such Claim is attributable to acts occurring in connection
with the exercise of remedies pursuant to Section 15 of the Lease
following the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default
thereunder;
(ii) Any Claim to the extent attributable to a Tax, or any
Claim of the Owner Participant to the extent attributable to a Loss,
whether or not Lessee is required to indemnify therefor under Section
7(c) of this Participation Agreement or the Tax Indemnity Agreement,
provided that this Section 7(b)(4)(ii) shall not exclude the
reasonable out-of-pocket costs, disbursements and expenses incurred
with respect to Taxes for which the Lessee is required to indemnify
under Section 7(c) of this Participation Agreement;
(iii) Any Claim to the extent caused by the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related
Indemnitee Group (other than any gross negligence or willful
misconduct imputed as a matter of law to such Indemnitee solely by
reason of its status as a party to any of the Operative Documents);
27
AF-2
31
(iv) Any Claim to the extent caused by the noncompliance by
such Indemnitee or any of its Related Indemnitee Group with any of the
terms of, or any misrepresentation by such Indemnitee or any of its
Related Indemnitee Group contained in, this Participation Agreement or
any other Operative Document to which such Indemnitee or any of its
Related Indemnitee Group is a party or any agreement relating hereto
or thereto (except if such representation or warranty was based on an
inaccurate representation or warranty of the Lessee);
(v) Any Claim that constitutes a Permitted Lien attributable
to such Indemnitee;
(vi) Any Claim to the extent caused by the offer, sale or
disposition (voluntary or involuntary) by or on behalf of such
Indemnitee of any Certificates or any interest in the Trust Estate or
the Trust Agreement, or any similar security, other than a transfer by
such Indemnitee of its interests in the Aircraft pursuant to Section
9, 10, 15 or 20 of the Lease and any related provision of the Trust
Indenture including, without limitation, Article IV thereof (it being
understood that (1) the cancellation of any Loan Certificates in
connection with a refinancing under Section 17 or 20 shall not
constitute a disposition of Loan Certificates for purposes of this
Section 7(b)(4)(vi) and (2) this Section 7(b)(4)(vi) shall not be
construed to exclude a Claim against or incurred by the Original Loan
Participant by a holder of a participation in the Original Loan
Participant's Loan Certificates which arises as a result of a Claim
against or incurred by such holder of a participation which would
otherwise be an indemnified Claim (as defined in Section 7(b)(1) and
not otherwise excluded pursuant to Section 7(b)(4)) if such Claim had
been brought directly against or incurred directly by the Original
Loan Participant; provided that (except in the case of any
participation granted by the Original Loan Participant to NMB Lease
N.V.) the Lessee's liability hereunder with respect to any such Claim
shall under no circumstances be any greater than such liability would
have been had the Original Loan Participant not granted any such
participation);
(vii) Any Claim (other than to the extent any such Claim is
brought against any Loan Participant or
28
AF-2
32
the Indenture Trustee or the Related Indemnitee of any such
Indemnitee) to the extent caused by a failure on the part of the Owner
Trustee to distribute in accordance with the Trust Agreement any
amounts received and distributable by it thereunder;
(viii) Any Claim (other than to the extent any such Claim is
brought against the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee and the
Related Indemnitee Group of such Indemnitee) to the extent caused by a
failure on the part of the Indenture Trustee to distribute in
accordance with the Trust Indenture any amounts received and
distributable by it thereunder;
(ix) Any Claim to the extent caused by the authorization or
giving or withholding by such Indemnitee of any future amendments,
supplements, waivers or consents with respect to any of this
Participation Agreement and the other Operative Documents, other than
such as have been requested by or consented to by the Lessee, or such
that occur as a result of an Event of Default that shall have occurred
and is continuing, or such as are required or contemplated by (and, if
contemplated by, in compliance with) the provisions of the Operative
Documents in order to give effect thereto;
(x) Any Claim to the extent caused by an Indenture Default
that does not also constitute an Event of Default under the Lease;
(xi) Any Claim (other than to the extent any such Claim is
brought against any Loan Participant or the Indenture Trustee or the
Related Indemnitee of any such Indemnitee) that would not have arisen
but for the appointment of a successor or an additional Owner Trustee
without the consent of the Lessee;
(xii) Any Claim to the extent caused by the failure of a
Person other than the Lessee to pay a cost, fee or expense payable by
such Person in accordance with Section 9(a), 9(b), 9(c), 9(e), 9(f),
9(g), 9(j), 16(b), 16(c), or 18(b) hereof, or Section 5(d), 5(f), 9,
10, 11 or 25 of the Lease;
(xiii) Any Claim that is an ordinary and usual operating or
overhead expense other than to the extent caused by (a) the occurrence
of an Event of
29
AF-2
33
Default or an Event of Loss or (b) circumstances beyond the scope of
routine portfolio administration (such routine portfolio
administration to be deemed to include tax preparation and other
normally occurring administrative tasks but shall not include any
administrative obligations of the Lessee under the Operative Documents
performed by any Indemnitee);
(xiv) Any Claim to the extent that such Claim relates to
amounts payable by the Owner Trustee to the Indenture Trustee in
respect of the Break Amount, if any, payable with respect to the
Certificates as a result of (x) any prepayment of the Certificates or
purchase of the Certificates pursuant to Section 2.13 of the Trust
Indenture as a result of an Indenture Default that does not also
constitute an Event of Default or (y) an Indenture Default that does
not also constitute an Event of Default; and
(xv) Any Claim made by American Telephone and Telegraph
Company, AT&T Capital Corporation or any Affiliate of either thereof
(other than the Owner Participant), to the extent that such Claim is
based on losses suffered by or any decline in the net worth of the
Owner Participant (but only to the extent that any such losses or
decline in net worth are caused by events for which the Owner
Participant is not indemnifiable by the Lessee under the Operative
Documents).
A limitation on the Claims of one Indemnitee under this Section 7(b)(4) shall
not provide a basis for limiting any Claim of any other Indemnitee.
(5) Insured Claims. In the case of any Claim indemnified by
the Lessee hereunder which is covered by a policy of insurance maintained by
the Lessee pursuant to Section 11 of the Lease, each Indemnitee agrees to
cooperate, at the Lessee's expense, with the insurers in the exercise of their
rights to investigate, defend or compromise such Claim as may be required to
retain the benefits of such insurance with respect to such Claim.
(6) Claims Procedure. An Indemnitee shall promptly notify
the Lessee of any Claim as to which indemnification is sought, provided that
the failure to provide such prompt notice shall not release the Lessee from any
of its obligations to indemnify hereunder. Any amount
30
AF-2
34
payable to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 7(b) shall be paid within
thirty days after receipt of a written demand therefor from such Indemnitee
accompanied by a written statement describing in reasonable detail the Claims
which are the subject of and basis for such indemnity and the computation of
the amount so payable. Subject to the rights of insurers under policies of
insurance maintained pursuant to Section 11 of the Lease, so long as no Event
of Default under Section 14(f), 14(g), 14(h) or 14(i) of the Lease shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Lessee (at its sole cost and expense) shall
have the right to investigate, and the right in its sole discretion to defend
or compromise, any Claim for which indemnification is sought under this Section
7(b), and the Indemnitee shall cooperate, at the Lessee's expense, with all
reasonable requests of the Lessee in connection therewith; provided, however,
that so long as an Event of Default under Section 14(a) of the Lease has
occurred and is continuing, such Indemnitee shall have the right, along with
the concomitant right of the Lessee, to investigate, defend or compromise any
such Claim. The Lessee will provide the Indemnitee with such information not
within the control of such Indemnitee, as is in the Lessee's control or as
reasonably available to the Lessee, which such Indemnitee may reasonably
request and shall otherwise cooperate with such Indemnitee so as to enable such
Indemnitee to fulfill its obligations under this Section 7(b)(6). Where the
Lessee or the insurers under a policy of insurance maintained by the Lessee
undertake the defense of an Indemnitee with respect to a Claim, and so 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 shall
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
written opinion of counsel to 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 any such separate counsel shall be borne by the
Lessee. Subject to the requirements of any policy of insurance, an Indemnitee
may participate at its own expense in any judicial proceeding controlled by the
Lessee pursuant to the preceding provisions; provided that such party's
participation does not,
31
AF-2
35
in the reasonable opinion of the independent counsel appointed by the Lessee or
its insurers to conduct such proceedings, significantly interfere with such
control; and such participation shall not constitute a waiver of the
indemnification provided in this Section 7(b). Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, (x) the Lessee shall not under any circumstances be
liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for each of (i) the
Owner Participant and the Owner Trustee (and their respective successors and
permitted assigns, agents and servants and other members of their respective
Related Indemnitee Groups) and (ii) the Loan Participants and the Indenture
Trustee (and their respective successors and permitted assigns, agents and
servants) except in the case specified in the proviso to the third sentence of
this paragraph (6) and (y) the Lessee shall not defend or compromise any Claim
if such proceedings will involve a material risk of the sale, forfeiture or
loss of, or the creation of any Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) on the
Airframe, any Engine or any part of any thereof, or the Indenture Estate or the
Trust Estate or any part of any thereof, unless the Lessee shall have provided
security for Lessee's obligations under this Section 7(b) with respect to such
Claim reasonably satisfactory to the relevant Indemnitees in respect to such
risk.
(7) Subrogation. To the extent that a Claim indemnified by
the Lessee under this Section 7(b) is in fact paid in full by the Lessee and/or
an insurer under a policy of insurance maintained by the Lessee pursuant to
Section 11 of the Lease, the Lessee and/or such insurer, as the case may be,
shall be subrogated to the rights and remedies of the Indemnitee on whose
behalf such Claim was paid (other than rights of such Indemnitee under
insurance policies maintained at its own expense) with respect to the
transaction or event giving rise to such Claim, except that the Lessee shall
not be subrogated to any rights or remedies that the Owner Trustee may have
against the Owner Participant under Section 7.01 of the Trust Agreement or that
the Indenture Trustee may have against the Owner Trustee under Section 7.01 of
the Trust Indenture. So long as no Event of Default (or event that with lapse
of time would constitute an Event of Default under Section 14(a), 14(g), 14(h)
or 14(i) of the Lease) shall have occurred and be continuing, should an
Indemnitee receive any refund, in whole or in part, with respect to any Claim
paid by the Lessee hereunder, it shall promptly pay the amount refunded (but
not an amount in excess of
32
AF-2
36
the amount the Lessee or any of its insurers has paid in respect of such Claim)
over to the Lessee. Moreover, if, by reason of any Claim that the Lessee has
paid or indemnified against pursuant to this Section 7(b), an Indemnitee
realizes an actual reduction in any Taxes that was not previously taken into
account in computing a payment by the Lessee pursuant to this Section 7(b),
then such Indemnitee shall promptly pay to the Lessee an amount equal to the
actual net reduction in Taxes realized by such Indemnitee attributable thereto
plus the actual reduction in Taxes realized by such Indemnitee as a result of
any payment to the Lessee pursuant to this sentence. Each Indemnitee shall in
good faith use reasonable diligence in filing its tax returns and in dealing
with taxing authorities to seek and claim any tax benefits that would result in
such net reductions in Taxes.
(8) No Guaranty. Nothing set forth in this Section 7(b)
shall constitute a guarantee by the Lessee that the Aircraft shall have any
particular useful life or residual value or a guarantee to the Indenture
Trustee or the Loan Participants that the Certificates will be paid. Each of
the Loan Participants agrees that nothing in the Operative Documents other than
the provisions of Section 2.18 of the Trust Indenture constitute an indemnity
for any Increased Cost or any cost or loss in the nature of an Increased Cost.
(c) General Tax Indemnity. (1) Indemnity. Except as
provided in Section 7(c)(2) hereof, the Lessee shall pay or indemnify and hold
harmless on an After-Tax Basis each Tax Indemnitee from and against any and all
fees (including without limitation license, documentation and registration
fees) and all taxes, whether now existing or hereafter adopted (including,
without limitation, income, gross receipts, sales, use, value-added, property
(tangible and intangible), excise and stamp taxes), levies, imposts, duties,
charges or withholdings, together with any penalties, fines or interest thereon
or other additions thereto (hereinafter collectively called "Taxes" and
individually called a "Tax") imposed against or payable by any Tax Indemnitee
(including amounts so payable by any such Tax Indemnitee solely as withholding
agent), the Lessee, any sublessee, sub-sublessee or other user of the Aircraft,
any Engine, or any Part, or any Affiliate of any such user, or imposed against
the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part, by any Federal, state or local government
or other taxing authority in the United States or by any
33
AF-2
37
foreign government or by any territory or possession of the United States or by
any international authority or by any political subdivision or taxing authority
of any of the foregoing (hereinafter, a "Taxing Authority") in connection with
or relating to (a) the construction, mortgaging, financing, refinancing,
purchase, acquisition, acceptance, rejection, delivery, nondelivery, transport,
location, ownership, control, insurance, registration, reregistration,
deregistration, assembly, possession, repossession, operation, use, condition,
maintenance, repair, sale, return, abandonment, replacement, preparation,
installation, storage, redelivery, manufacture, leasing, subleasing,
modification, rebuilding, importation, transfer of title, transfer of
registration, exportation or other application or disposition of, the Aircraft,
any Engine or any Part or any interest in any thereof, (b) payments of Rent or
the receipts, income or earnings arising therefrom or received with respect to
the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part or any interest in any thereof or payable
pursuant to the Lease, (c) any amount paid or payable pursuant to any Operative
Document, (d) the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part or any interest in any
thereof or the applicability of the Lease to the Aircraft, any Engine or any
Part or any interest in any thereof, (e) any or all of the Operative Documents,

respect to any of the foregoing, the existence of any Lessor's Liens,
(B) in the case of Taxes imposed on or with respect to any Tax
Indemnitee (other than Wilmington Trust Company or NationsBank of
Georgia, National Association, their respective successors and assigns
(including, without limitation, each and any Person who is at any time

in the immediately preceding clause (B) or (C), such act, omission or

or a change that is consented to by the Lessee in writing, which
consent shall not unreasonably be withheld and the request for which
shall have specified this subparagraph (x)) or (B) as a result of the

to another jurisdiction;
(xi) Taxes imposed on a Tax Indemnitee (other than the

certification, information, documentation, reporting or other similar
requirements concerning the national-
38
AF-2
42
ity, residence, identity or connection with the jurisdiction imposing
such Taxes, if such Tax Indemnitee's or any related Tax Indemnitee's
compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the jurisdiction
imposing such Taxes as a precondition to relief or exemption from such
Taxes and the Tax Indemnitee or such related Tax Indemnitee was
eligible for such relief or exemption or (y) any other certification,
information, documentation, reporting or other similar requirements
under the Tax laws or regulations of the jurisdiction imposing such
Taxes that would establish entitlement to otherwise applicable relief
or exemption from such Taxes, provided that the exclusion set forth in
this subparagraph (xi) shall not apply if such failure to comply was
due to a failure of the Lessee (A) timely to notify such Tax Indemnitee
of such requirement or (B) to provide reasonable assistance in
complying with such requirement or, in the case of the Owner
Participant, if such failure was the result of the Owner Trustee's
negligence or the Owner Trustee's actions or failure to act in
accordance with instructions of the Owner Participant or, in the case
of any Loan Participant, if such failure was the result of the
Indenture Trustee's negligence or the Indenture Trustee's actions or
failure to act in accordance with instructions of such Loan
Participant;
(xii) Taxes imposed on any Tax Indemnitee other than any Loan
Participant, the Indenture Trustee or the Indenture Estate in the
nature of any intangible or similar tax upon or with respect to the
value of the interest of the Owner Participant in the Trust Estate
imposed by any government or taxing authority in which the Owner
Participant is subject to tax without regard to the ownership or lease
of the Aircraft;
(xiii) Taxes that would not have been imposed but for an
amendment to any Operative Documents not consented to by the Lessee in
writing (other than any amendment that occurs after an Event of
Default has occurred and while it is continuing);

Trustee or the Trust Estate by the United States or by any state or
local government or taxing authority in the United States (including
any ter-
39
AF-2
43
ritory or possession thereof) by reason of the trust described in the
Trust Agreement being taxed in the same manner as a corporation;
(xv) Taxes (other than Taxes in the nature of property,
sales, use or rental Taxes) imposed on any Loan Participant that are
on, based on or measured by gross or net income or gross or net
receipts of such Loan Participant or any related Tax Indemnitee
(including any minimum Taxes and any Taxes on or measured by any items
of tax preference) or that are franchise Taxes, Taxes on doing
business or Taxes on, based on or measured by capital or net worth of
such Loan Participant or any related Tax Indemnitee by (x) the Federal
government of the United States or (y) any state or local government
or taxing authority in the United States or any foreign government or
any territory or possession of the United States or any international
authority or any political subdivision or taxing authority of any of
the foregoing except to the extent that such Taxes would have been due
had the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents been the
sole connection between the jurisdiction imposing such Taxes and such
Loan Participant, provided that there shall not be excluded under
clause (x) or (y) of this subparagraph (xv) Taxes to the extent
imposed by reason of such Loan Participant being treated as having a
taxable exchange as a result of an assumption by the Lessee of the
rights and obligations of the Owner Trustee under the Indenture and
the Certificates pursuant to Section 2.16 of the Indenture (for the
avoidance of doubt, nothing in this clause (xv) shall affect any
obligation of the Owner Trustee under Section 2.04 of the Indenture);
and
(xvi) Taxes imposed on any Loan Participant in the nature of
any intangible or similar tax upon or with respect to the value of the
interest of such Loan Participant in any Certificate or the loan
evidenced thereby, except to the extent that such Taxes would have
been due had the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents
been the sole connection between the jurisdiction imposing such Taxes
and such Loan Participant.
(3) Tax Benefit Payback. If, by reason of the payment or
accrual of any Taxes indemnified hereunder, a
40
AF-2
44
Tax Indemnitee realizes an actual reduction in any Taxes, which reduction in
Taxes was not taken into account in calculating any indemnity payments made by
the Lessee hereunder, then such Tax Indemnitee shall promptly pay to the Lessee
an amount equal to such actual reduction in Taxes, if any, plus the actual
reduction in Taxes realized by such Tax Indemnitee or any related Tax
Indemnitee as the result of any payment made by such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to
this sentence. Each Tax Indemnitee shall in good faith use diligence in filing
its tax returns and in dealing with Taxing Authorities to seek and claim any
tax benefit that would result in any such reduction in Taxes or any refund of
any Taxes payable or indemnifiable by the Lessee hereunder, provided that no
Loan Participant shall have any obligation to claim any credit or any deduction
in priority to any other claims, reliefs, credits or deductions available to
it. Any Taxes that are imposed on any Tax Indemnitee as a result of the
disallowance or reduction of any reduction in Taxes referred to in the second
preceding sentence as to which (and to the extent) such Tax Indemnitee has made
any payment to the Lessee required hereby shall be treated as a Tax for which
the Lessee is obligated to indemnify such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 7(c) without regard to the exclusions set forth in
Section 7(c)(2). For the purposes of this Section 7(c)(3), items of foreign
Tax of any Tax Indemnitee (other than any Loan Participant) shall be deemed to
be utilized by such Tax Indemnitee as credits or deductions in any taxable year
in accordance with the following:
(i) First, all available foreign Taxes other than those
arising out of leveraged lease transactions; and
(ii) Second, foreign Taxes arising from leveraged lease
transactions for which such Tax Indemnitee was not indemnified or held
harmless by anyone; and
(iii) Third, all available foreign Taxes for which such Tax
Indemnitee was indemnified or held harmless by the Lessee and all
other available foreign Taxes indemnified under any other leveraged
lease transactions (other than those arising from any transaction in
which there is an express agreement that such Taxes shall be utilized
last), on a pari passu basis; and
41
AF-2
45
(iv) Fourth, any remaining foreign Taxes arising from any
transaction in which there is an express agreement that such Taxes
shall be utilized after such Taxes described above.
(4) Contests. If a written claim shall be made against any
Tax Indemnitee for any Tax for which the Lessee is obligated pursuant to this
Section 7(c), such Tax Indemnitee shall notify the Lessee in writing promptly
of such claim. If the Lessee shall so request in writing within 30 days after
receipt of such notice, such Tax Indemnitee shall in good faith at the Lessee's
expense contest the imposition of such Tax (including taking an appeal of any
adverse judicial decision) by (a) resisting payment of such Tax, (b) paying
such Tax under protest or (c) paying such Tax and seeking a refund or other
repayment thereof, provided that, at such Tax Indemnitee's option, such contest
shall be conducted by the Lessee in the name of such Tax Indemnitee or, if
permitted by law, in the name of the Lessee, and that in no event shall such
Tax Indemnitee be required to contest, or the Lessee permitted to contest in
the name of such Tax Indemnitee or the Lessee, the imposition of any Tax for
which the Lessee is obligated pursuant to this Section 7(c) unless (v) the
Lessee shall have delivered a written opinion of its internal counsel or
outside counsel to the effect that there is a reasonable basis (consistent with
Formal Opinion 85-352 of the American Bar Association) for contesting such
claim, (w) if an Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing, the
Lessee shall have provided security for its obligations hereunder reasonably
satisfactory to the Tax Indemnitee, (x) the Lessee shall have agreed to pay
such Tax Indemnitee on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses
that such Tax Indemnitee may incur in connection with contesting such claim
(including, without limitation, all reasonable legal and accounting fees and
disbursements), (y) the action to be taken will not result in any material
danger of sale, forfeiture or loss of the Aircraft, Airframe, any Engine or any
material Part or any interest in any thereof and (z) if such contest shall be
conducted in a manner requiring the payment of the claim, the Lessee shall pay
such claim or shall advance to the Tax Indemnitee on an interest-free basis and
with no additional net after-tax cost to the Tax Indemnitee sufficient funds to
pay the claim. Except as otherwise provided herein, the contest shall be
conducted in the manner determined by the Lessee unless it involves issues with
respect to which the Lessee would not
42
AF-2
46
be required to indemnify such Tax Indemnitee hereunder which can not be severed
by reasonable efforts of such Tax Indemnitee from all issues with respect to
which the Lessee would be liable hereunder. If the contest involves issues
with respect to which the Lessee would not be required to indemnify such Tax
Indemnitee hereunder that can not be severed by reasonable efforts of such Tax
Indemnitee from all issues with respect to which the Lessee would be liable
hereunder, such Tax Indemnitee may in its sole discretion select the forum for
such contest and determine the manner in which such contest shall be conducted,
provided that such Tax Indemnitee shall afford the Lessee and its counsel a
reasonable opportunity to discuss with such Tax Indemnitee the Lessee's
interests with respect to such contest. No contest of any issue with respect
to which the Lessee would be required to indemnify hereunder shall be settled
without the prior written consent of the Lessee unless the Tax Indemnitee
waives (by written notice to the Lessee) the payment by the Lessee of any
amount that might otherwise be payable by the Lessee under this Section 7(c) in
respect of such issue and any related issue the contest of which is effectively
foreclosed by the settlement of such issue, including any payment arising from
such issue in subsequent years or which arises by reason of the fact that such
issue is of a continuing nature, and promptly pays to the Lessee any amount
previously paid or advanced by the Lessee with respect to such issue or the
contest of such issue, provided that if there has been an adverse judicial
decision with respect to such issue or related issue the Tax Indemnitee, in
determining whether it will terminate the contest of such issue, shall afford
the Lessee and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to discuss with such Tax
Indemnitee the Lessee's interests with respect to such contest. If any Tax
Indemnitee shall obtain a refund of all or any part of any Tax paid by the
Lessee or with funds provided by the Lessee, such Tax Indemnitee shall pay the
Lessee, net of any payments theretofore due to such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to
this Section 7(c) but unpaid and any other payments theretofore due to such Tax
Indemnitee under any of the Operative Documents but unpaid, an amount equal to
the amount of such refund, including interest received attributable thereto,
reduced by any Taxes incurred by such Tax Indemnitee or a related Tax
Indemnitee by reason of the receipt or accrual of such refund and interest, and
increased by any tax benefit realized by such Tax Indem-
43
AF-2
47
nitee or a related Tax Indemnitee as a result of any payment by such Tax
Indemnitee made pursuant to this sentence.
(5) Reports. If any report, return or statement is required
to be filed with respect to any Tax that is a property tax (or a tax in the
nature of a property tax) subject to indemnification under this Section 7(c),
the Lessee shall timely file the same (except for any such report, return or
statement which the Tax Indemnitee has notified the Lessee that the Tax
Indemnitee intends to file, provided that such Tax Indemnitee shall have
furnished the Lessee, at the Lessee's request and expense, with such
information, not within the control of the Lessee, as is in such Tax
Indemnitee's control and is reasonably available to such Tax Indemnitee and
reasonably necessary to file such returns. The Lessee shall either file such
report, return or statement so as to show the ownership of the Aircraft in the
Owner Trustee and send a copy of such report, return or statement to the Tax
Indemnitee, and the Owner Trustee if the Tax Indemnitee is not the Owner
Trustee, or, where the Lessee is not permitted to so file, shall notify the Tax
Indemnitee of such requirement and prepare and deliver such report, return or
statement to the Tax Indemnitee in a manner satisfactory to such Tax Indemnitee
within a reasonable time prior to the time such report, return or statement is
to be filed. The Lessee shall also furnish promptly upon written request such
data in its possession or otherwise reasonably available to it as any Tax
Indemnitee may reasonably request to enable such Tax Indemnitee to comply with
the requirements of any Taxing Authority. The Lessee shall hold each Tax
Indemnitee harmless from and against the penalties, additions to tax and fines
arising from any insufficiency or inaccuracy in any such report, return or
statement or fairly attributable to the inaccuracy of any data supplied to any
Tax Indemnitee by the Lessee, without regard to whether such penalties,
additions to tax and fines are otherwise indemnifiable under this Section 7(c).
If any report, return or statement is required to be filed with respect to any
Tax (other than a property tax or a tax in the nature of a property tax)
subject to indemnification under this Section 7(c), the Lessee will promptly
notify the appropriate Tax Indemnitee upon the Lessee's obtaining actual
knowledge of such requirement. If the Lessee receives written notice from a
Taxing Authority of a Tax that is imposed upon a Tax Indemnitee but not
indemnified against by the Lessee hereunder, the
44
AF-2
48
Lessee will forward a copy of such notice to such Tax Indemnitee.
(6) Payment. The Lessee shall pay any Tax for which it is
liable pursuant to this Section 7(c), directly to the appropriate taxing
authority or upon demand of a Tax Indemnitee to such Tax Indemnitee, within 30
Business Days of a written demand, but in no event prior to the date such Tax
is due (including all extensions), or, in the case of Taxes which are being
contested, the time such contest is finally resolved. Any such demand shall
specify in reasonable detail the calculation to the payment and the facts upon
which the right to payment is based. Each Tax Indemnitee shall promptly
forward to the Lessee any notice, bill or advice received by it concerning any
Tax which the Lessee may be required to indemnify against hereunder. Upon the
written request of an appropriate Tax Indemnitee, the Lessee shall furnish such
Tax Indemnitee the original or a certified copy of a receipt (if any is
available to the Lessee) for the Lessee's payment of any Tax that is subject to
indemnification pursuant to this Section 7(c), or such other evidence of
payment of such Tax as is acceptable to such Tax Indemnitee (and available to
the Lessee).
(7) Application of Payments During Existence of Event of
Default. Any amount payable to the Lessee pursuant to the terms of this
Section 7(c) shall not be paid to the Lessee if at the time such payment would
otherwise be made an Event of Default or event that with lapse of time would
constitute an Event of Default under Section 14(a), 14(g), 14(h) or 14(i) of
the Lease shall have occurred and be continuing but shall be held by the Tax
Indemnitee as security for the obligations of the Lessee under the Operative
Documents and, if the Lessor declares the Lease to be in default pursuant to
Section 15 thereof (or the Lease is deemed to be declared in default), applied
against the Lessee's obligations under the Operative Documents as and when due,
provided that no such amount shall be held as security for more than 180 days
unless the Lessor or the Indenture Trustee shall be precluded by law or court
order from exercising remedies under Section 15 of the Lease. At such time as
there shall not be continuing any such Event of Default or other event or such
180-day period shall have elapsed, such amount shall be paid to the Lessee to
the extent not previously applied in accordance with the preceding sentence.
45
AF-2
49
(8) Forms, Etc. Each Tax Indemnitee agrees to furnish from
time to time to the Lessee or to such other person as the Lessee may designate,
at the Lessee's request in writing and expense, such duly executed and properly
completed forms as may be necessary or appropriate in order to claim any
reduction of or exemption from any withholding or other Tax imposed by any
Taxing Author-ity which the Lessee may be required to indemnify against
hereunder, if (x) such reduction or exemption is available to such Tax
Indemnitee and (y) the Lessee has provided such Tax Indemnitee with any
information necessary to complete such form not otherwise reasonably available
to such Tax Indemnitee.
(9) Non-Parties. If a Tax Indemnitee is not a party to this
Agreement, the Lessee may require the Tax Indemnitee to agree in writing, in a
form reasonably acceptable to the Lessee, to the terms of this Section 7(c)
prior to making any payment to such Tax Indemnitee under this Section 7(c).
(10) Verification. At the Lessee's request, the amount of
any indemnity payment by the Lessee pursuant to this Section 7 or any payment
by a Tax Indemnitee to the Lessee pursuant to this Section 7 shall be verified
and certified by either the independent public accounting firm that audits the
financial statements of such Tax Indemnitee (provided that such firm shall have
its headquarters in the United States) or another independent public accounting
firm selected by such Tax Indemnitee and reasonably satisfactory to the Lessee,
provided that, in the case of any Loan Participant, the amount of any payment
by such Loan Participant to the Lessee pursuant to this Section 7 shall be
verified and certified by the independent public accounting firm that audits
the financial statements of such Loan Participant. The fee of such independent
public accounting firm shall be paid by the Lessee unless such verification
shall disclose an error in such Tax Indemnitee's favor exceeding 10% of the
amount of such payment determined by the Tax Indemnitee, in which case such fee
shall be paid by such Tax Indemnitee. The Lessee will have no right to examine
the tax returns of the Tax Indemnitee in connection with the verification
procedure described in this Section 7(c)(10); each Tax Indemnitee agrees to
cooperate with the independent public accounting firm performing the
verification and to supply such firm with all information reasonably necessary
to permit it to accomplish such verification, provided that
46
AF-2
50
the information provided to such firm by such Tax Indemnitee shall be for its
confidential use.

Indemnitee" shall mean the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee, in its

(12) Subrogation. Upon payment of any Tax by the Lessee
pursuant to this Section 7(c) to or on behalf of a Tax Indemnitee, the Lessee,
without any further action, shall be subrogated (unless a court of competent
jurisdiction shall have entered a final judgment ordering the return of such
payment to the Lessee) to any claims that such Tax Indemnitee may have relating
thereto other than claims in respect of insurance policies maintained by such
Tax Indemnitee at its own expense. Such Tax Indemnitee shall give such further
reasonable assurances or agreements and cooperate with the Lessee to permit the
Lessee to pursue such claims; provided that the Lessee shall reimburse such Tax
Indemnitee for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs associated with such
assurances, agreements or cooperation.

and agreements of the Lessee provided for in this Section 7 and the Lessee's

been furnished by it in writing to the Lessee). To the extent permitted by
applicable law, interest at the Overdue Rate shall be paid, on demand, on any
amount or indemnity not paid when due pursuant to this Section 7 until the same
shall be paid. Such interest shall be paid in the same manner as the unpaid
amount in respect of which such interest is due.

Participant and the Indenture Trustee shall promptly submit to the Owner
Participant copies of the invoices in respect of the foregoing transaction
costs as they are received, and in all events not later than December 31, 1992.
The Owner Participant prior to the payment thereof will send copies of any
invoices received by it with respect to any of the foregoing fees, expenses and
disbursements constituting transaction costs to the Lessee for the Lessee's
review and approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
In the event that the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and the agreements referred to herein are not consummated, the Lessee
shall bear and pay all costs, expenses and fees referred to above; provided
that if the transaction fails to be consummated as a result of failure of the
Owner Participant to act in good faith in consummating the transactions, or to
fulfill its funding obligations or otherwise to comply with the terms hereof or
thereof, the Owner Participant shall bear and pay its own fees, costs and
expenses (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of its special

expenses as aforesaid.
(b) The Owner Participant covenants that if (i) it ceases to
be a "citizen of the United States" within the meaning of Section 101(16) of
the Federal Aviation Act and (ii) either (A) the Aircraft shall or would
thereupon become ineligible for registration in the name of the Owner Trustee
under the Federal Aviation Act as in effect at such time, or under the law of
the current jurisdiction of registry of the Aircraft, as the case may be, and
the regulations then applicable thereunder, or (B) the Aircraft is registered
in a jurisdiction other than the United States in circumstances in which clause
(A) does not apply and the Lessee at any time proposes to register the Aircraft
within four months in any jurisdiction to which clause (A) would apply upon
such reregistration, then the Owner Participant at its own expense shall
promptly (and, in any event, within a period of 30 days) either transfer,
pursuant to Article VIII of the Trust Agreement and Section 16(c) hereof, such
of its right, title and interest in and to the Trust Agreement, the Trust
Estate, and this Agreement, or take such other action, as may be necessary to
prevent any deregistration
57
AF-2
61
of the Aircraft or to make possible its registration in the United States.
Each party hereto agrees to take such steps, at the Owner Participant's
expense, as the Owner Participant shall reasonably request in order to assist
the Owner Participant in complying with its obligations under this Section
9(b). The Owner Participant hereby agrees to indemnify the Lessee, the
Indenture Trustee and each Loan Participant against any and all losses,
liabilities and expenses incurred by the Lessee, the Indenture Trustee or any
Loan Participant to the extent that any such losses, liabilities or expenses
are caused by the Aircraft's so becoming ineligible or ceasing to remain
eligible for such registration.
(c) The Owner Trustee in its individual capacity covenants
that if at any time it shall cease to be a "citizen of the United States"
within the meaning of Section 101(16) of the Federal Aviation Act, it will
resign immediately as Owner Trustee (if and so long as such citizenship is
necessary under the Federal Aviation Act, or the law of the current
jurisdiction of the registry of the Aircraft, as the case may be, as in effect
at such time or, if it is not necessary, if and so long as the Owner Trustee's
citizenship (in its individual capacity) would have any adverse effect on the
Lessee or any Loan Participant). The Owner Trustee in its individual capacity
hereby unconditionally agrees with and for the benefit of the parties to this
Agreement that the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity will not directly
or indirectly create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lessor's Liens on or
against any part of the Trust Estate, the Indenture Estate or the Aircraft
arising out of any act or omission of or claim against or affecting the Owner
Trustee in its individual capacity, and the Owner Trustee in its individual
capacity agrees that it will at its own cost and expense promptly take such
action as may be necessary to duly discharge and satisfy in full (i) all
Lessor's Liens attributable to the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity and
(ii) any other Liens attributable to the Owner Trustee in its individual
capacity on any part of the Trust Estate or the Indenture Estate which result
from claims against the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity not related to
the ownership of the Aircraft, the administration of the Trust Estate or the
Indenture Estate or the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents.
The Owner Trustee, in its individual capacity, hereby agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless the Lessee, the Indenture Trustee and each Participant from
58
AF-2
62
and against any loss, cost or expense (including reasonable legal fees and
expenses) which may be suffered or incurred by any of them as a result of the
failure of the Owner Trustee to discharge and satisfy any such Lessor's Lien or
other lien or encumbrance.
(d) Each of the Owner Participant and the Owner Trustee (in
its individual capacity and as Owner Trustee) agrees with the Lessee, the
Indenture Trustee and each Loan Participant that it will comply with all of the
terms of the Trust Agreement (as the same may hereafter be amended or
supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof) applicable
to it in its respective capacity, the noncompliance with which would adversely
affect any such party and shall not take any action, or cause any action to be
taken, which would amend, modify or supplement any provision of the Trust
Agreement in a manner adversely affecting any such party without the prior
written consent of such party, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. The Owner Trustee confirms for the benefit of the Lessee, the
Indenture Trustee and each Loan Participant that it will comply with the
provisions of Article IV of the Trust Agreement. The Owner Participant agrees
not to terminate or revoke the trust created by the Trust Agreement without the
prior written consent of the Lessee and (so long as the Trust Indenture shall
not have been discharged) the Indenture Trustee and each Loan Participant,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Owner Participant
further agrees not to remove the institution acting as Owner Trustee, and not
to replace the institution acting as Owner Trustee in the event that such
institution resigns as Owner Trustee, unless the Owner Participant shall have
consulted in good faith with the Lessee, the Indenture Trustee and the Original
Loan Participant prior to such removal or replacement as to the identity,
location and fee schedules of the proposed successor trustee, provided that (i)
the Owner Participant shall retain the right, notwithstanding any such
consultation, to act in its sole discretion (provided that the Owner
Participant shall not choose a replacement Owner Trustee which, in the good
faith opinion of the Lessee, may result in additional liability to the Lessee
pursuant to Section 7(c) hereof, except in the case of a mandatory or voluntary
resignation of the Owner Trustee where the Lessee has not proposed an
alternative Owner Trustee which is reasonably satisfactory to the Owner
Participant) and (ii) no such consultation with the Lessee shall be required if
an Event of Default shall have
59
AF-2
63
occurred and be continuing. The Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant agree
that no co-trustee or separate trustee shall be appointed pursuant to Section
9.02 of the Trust Agreement without the Lessee's (so long as no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing) and the Original Loan
Participant's prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld. The Owner Participant agrees that if, at any time, so long as no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lessee certifies that the
Lessee has, or in the good faith opinion of the Lessee will, become obligated
to pay an amount pursuant to Section 7(c) hereof and the amount that has or
will become payable would be reduced or eliminated if the situs of the Trust
Estate were changed and if, as a consequence thereof, the Lessee should request
that the situs of the trust be moved to another state in the United States from
the state in which it is then located, the Owner Participant shall direct such
change in situs of the Trust Estate as may be specified in writing by the
Lessee and the Owner Participant will take whatever action as may be reasonably
necessary to accomplish such change; provided that the Lessee shall provide
such additional indemnification for Taxes imposed by the jurisdiction to which
the Trust Estate is to be moved as the Owner Participant may reasonably
request. The Indenture Trustee shall execute such documents and take such
action as may be necessary to effect such change in the situs of the Trust
Estate; provided that the Lien created by the Indenture shall continue to be
perfected and shall not be otherwise adversely affected by such change.
(e) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Owner Trustee shall promptly pay to the Lessee any amounts
received by it (i) pursuant to Section 2.04 of the Indenture or (ii) in respect
of Break Funding Gain under Section 2.17 of the Trust Indenture (other than any
Break Funding Gain payable with respect to the Certificates as a result of (A)
any prepayment of the Certificates or purchase of the Certificates pursuant to
Section 2.13 of the Trust Indenture as a result of an Indenture Default that
does not also constitute an Event of Default or (B) an Indenture Default that
does not also constitute an Event of Default, it being agreed that any such
Break Funding Gain shall be for the account of the Owner Participant); provided
that if any such amount has been so held by the Owner Trustee as security for
more than 90 days after an Event of Default shall have occurred and during
which period (x) the Owner Trustee shall not
60
AF-2
64
have been limited by operation of law or otherwise from exercising remedies
under the Lease or (y) the Owner Trustee shall not have commenced to exercise
any remedy available to it under Section 15 of the Lease, then the Owner
Trustee shall promptly pay such amount to the Lessee.
(f) The Owner Participant agrees that, in the event of the
termination of the Lease pursuant to Section 9 thereof, the Owner Participant
will pay any fees and commissions of any broker or finder appointed by the
Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant, or any fees and commissions payable to
the Lessee pursuant to such Section 9, in connection with the sale of the
Aircraft. In addition, the Owner Participant agrees to pay or cause to be paid
to the Owner Trustee such amounts as may be necessary to enable the Owner
Trustee to pay any amounts to the Lessee pursuant to Section 9 or 15 of the
Lease as a rebate of any Basic Rent theretofore paid under the Lease.
(g) Each Loan Participant hereby unconditionally agrees to
perform its respective obligations under the Trust Indenture (including,
without limitation, those contained in Sections 2.04, 2.17 and 2.18 of the
Trust Indenture) as though such obligations were fully set forth herein.
(h) The Owner Trustee, in its capacity as Owner Trustee, will
not incur any indebtedness for money borrowed, or enter into any business or
other activity, except as contemplated hereby and by the other Operative
Documents.
(i) The Indenture Trustee in its individual capacity hereby
unconditionally agrees with and for the benefit of the parties to this
Agreement that the Indenture Trustee in its individual capacity or as Indenture
Trustee will not directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or suffer to
exist any Liens on or against any part of the Trust Estate, the Indenture
Estate or the Aircraft arising out of any act or omission of or claim against
the Indenture Trustee in its individual capacity, and the Indenture Trustee in
its individual capacity agrees that it will at its own cost and expense
promptly take such action as may be necessary duly to discharge and satisfy in
full (i) all such Liens attributable to the Indenture Trustee in its individual
capacity and (ii) any other liens or encumbrances attributable to the Indenture
Trust-
61
AF-2
65
ee in its individual capacity on any part of the Trust Estate or the Indenture
Estate which result from claims against the Indenture Trustee in its individual
capacity not related to the administration of the Indenture Estate. The
Indenture Trustee hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Lessee, the
Owner Trustee and each Participant from and against any loss, cost or expense
(including reasonable legal fees and expenses) which may be suffered or
incurred by any of them as a result of the failure of the Indenture Trustee to
discharge and satisfy any such Lien or such other lien or encumbrance.
(j) The Owner Trustee agrees that any profit, income,
interest, dividend or gain realized upon the maturity, sale or other
disposition of any Permitted Investment made by the Indenture Trustee pursuant
to Section 3.07(b) of the Trust Indenture, and paid to the Lessee on behalf of
the Owner Trustee by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the terms of such
Section 3.07(b), shall be entirely for the account of, and the sole property
of, the Lessee who, for such purposes, shall not be deemed to be acting as
agent of the Owner Trustee, and the Lessee shall have no obligation to pay over
such income, interest, dividend or gain to the Owner Trustee.
(k) Each of the Indenture Trustee and each Loan Participant,
by its acceptance of a Certificate, hereby irrevocably agree, to the maximum
extent permitted by law, that, in any case in which any Person (other than the
Lessee alone) is the debtor or one of the debtors under the Bankruptcy Code,
each of the Indenture Trustee and each Loan Participant shall be deemed to have
made a timely election pursuant to Section 1111(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Bankruptcy
Code (or any substantively comparable provision which is the successor thereto)
as to the Indenture Estate (which is acknowledged and agreed not to include
Excepted Property).
(l) [intentionally omitted].
(m) Each of the Owner Participant and the Owner Trustee
hereby agrees, for the benefit of the Lessee, to cooperate with the Lessee in
effecting any foreign registration of the Aircraft pursuant to Section 7(a)(i)
of the Lease; provided that prior to any such change in the country of registry
of the Aircraft (other than a change in the country of registry that results in
the
62
AF-2
66
registration of the Aircraft under the laws of the United States of America),
the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Loan
Participants shall have received from counsel to the Lessee reasonably
satisfactory to the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee
and the Loan Participants an opinion to the effect that (i) the terms of any
relevant sublease and the Lease are legal, valid, binding and enforceable in
such country to substantially the same extent as such documents are at that
time enforceable in the United States, (ii) there is no statutory, regulatory
or case law in such country imposing tort liability on the owner of an aircraft
not in possession thereof, or on a lender providing funds for the purchase of
an aircraft, under the laws of such country other than tort liability no more
extensive or onerous than that which might have been imposed on such an owner
or lender under the laws of the United States or any state thereof (it being
understood that, in the event such opinion cannot be given in a form
satisfactory to the Owner Participant, such opinion shall be waived if
insurance reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Participant and the Indenture
Trustee is provided by the Lessee to cover the risk of such liability), (iii)
such re-registration will not result in the imposition by such country of any
Taxes on the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant, the Indenture Trustee or any
Loan Participant for which the Lessee is not required to indemnify the Owner
Participant, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or any Loan Participant,
as the case may be (provided that in lieu of the opinion referred to in this
clause (iii) the Lessee may indemnify the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee
or the Loan Participants, as the case may be, for any Taxes imposed by such
country in connection with or relating to the transactions contemplated by the
Operative Documents which would not have been imposed but for such
re-registration); (iv) there exist no possessory rights in favor of the Lessee
or any sublessee under the laws of such country which would, upon bankruptcy of
or other default by the Lessee or any sublessee, prevent the return of the
Aircraft to the Owner Trustee in accordance with and when permitted by the
terms of Sections 14 and 15(a) of the Lease upon the exercise by the Owner
Trustee of its remedies under Section 15(a) of the Lease; (v) it is not
necessary for the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee to qualify to do
business in such jurisdiction solely as a result of the proposed
re-registration; (vi) the laws of such country require fair compensation by the

AF-2
67
loss of use of the Aircraft in the event of the requisition by such government
of the Aircraft (unless the Lessee shall have provided contemporaneously with
such re-registration insurance reasonably satisfactory to the Lessor, the Owner
Participant and the Indenture Trustee covering the risk of requisition of use
of the Aircraft by the government of such country so long as the Aircraft is
registered under the laws of such country); (vii) the Lessee shall have paid or
made provision for the payment of all expenses of the Owner Participant, the
Owner Trustee and the Loan Participants in connection with such change in
registration; and (viii) solely in the case of the Indenture Trustee, after
giving effect to such change in registration, the Lien on the Aircraft and the
other property included in the Indenture Estate shall continue as a valid and
duly perfected lien and that all filing, recording or other action necessary to
perfect and protect the Lien of the Indenture has been accomplished (or if such
opinion cannot be given at the time by which the Indenture Trustee has been
requested to consent to a change in registration, (I) the opinion shall detail
what filing, recording or other action is necessary and (II) the Indenture
Trustee shall have received a certificate from the Lessee that all possible
preparations to accomplish such filing, recording and other action shall have
been done, and such filing, recording and other action shall be accomplished
and a supplemental opinion to that effect shall be delivered to the Indenture
Trustee on or prior to the effective date of such change in registration); and
provided, further, that (x) the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant and the
Loan Participants shall have received prior to or contemporaneously with such
re-registration (1) a certificate of insurance signed by an independent
insurance broker to the effect that the Aircraft is and after such

satisfactory to such parties, that the aircraft and engine maintenance
standards under the laws of such country of reregistration are substantially
similar to those required by the central civil aviation authority of any of the
United States, the United Kingdom, the Federal Republic of Germany, France,
Canada or Japan, and (4) in the case of the Owner Participant only, as-
64
AF-2
68
surances reasonably satisfactory to it that the currency of such country is
freely convertible into U.S. Dollars (unless the Lessee shall have made
arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Participant that all payments
to be made by or on behalf of the Lessee under the Operative Documents and by
any sublessee under the relevant sublease will be paid in U.S. Dollars) and (y)
the Lessee shall not cause the Aircraft to be registered pursuant to Section
7(a)(i) of the Lease under the laws of any foreign jurisdiction without the
prior written consent of the Owner Participant if (1) the civil aviation laws
of such foreign jurisdiction impose unusual requirements on registrants of
civil aircraft, and (2) the Owner Participant would be required to comply with
such unusual requirements upon the registration of the Aircraft in such foreign
jurisdiction, and the Owner Participant's compliance therewith would result in
a material burden on the Owner Participant's business activities.
(n) Each of the Indenture Trustee and each Loan Participant
hereby agrees, subject to the terms of Section 7(m) hereof, for the benefit of
the Lessee, to cooperate with the Lessee in effecting any foreign registration
of the Aircraft pursuant to Section 7(a)(i) of the Lease.
(o) The Indenture Trustee hereby agrees to give the Lessee
notice (the "Notice") not later than the date that is five Business Days prior
to January 1 of each year in which the Indenture shall be in effect, commencing
on December 24, 1992, whether (x) there are any undistributed funds held in

United States, including obligations of the United States government agencies
and corporations established by acts of the Congress of the United States, and
obligations or evidences of debt of the State of Georgia or its political
subdivisions or public institutions, including industrial development revenue
bonds issued pursuant to the laws of the State of Georgia, (y) there are
receivables then due and owing to the Indenture Estate and unpaid, or (z) the
Indenture Estate or the Indenture Trustee holds legal title to any intangible
personal property not expressly contemplated by the Operative Documents other

visions of Section 48-6-22, O.C.G.A., and, if the Notice would on any date
thereafter and prior to such January 1 be untrue, immediately to so notify the
Lessee.

and in Section 9(q) hereof and except for a purchase of the Loan Certificates
pursuant to Section 2.13 of the Trust Indenture, each Loan Participant agrees
that it will not sell, assign, pledge or otherwise transfer all or any portion
of any Certificate or the indebtedness evidenced thereby without the prior
written consent of the Lessee, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, provided that under no circumstances may any such sale, assignment,
pledge or transfer (other than a purchase of the Certificates pursuant to
Section 2.13 of the Trust Indenture) be made to any Person not meeting the
requirements set forth in clause (c) of the definition of Permitted Transferee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Loan Participant may sell, assign, pledge
or otherwise transfer all or any portion of any of its Certificates or the
indebtedness evidenced thereby to a Permitted Transferee without such consent,
provided that such sale, assignment, pledge or transfer does not violate any
applicable laws and such Loan Participant and such Permitted Transferee shall
have executed and delivered a transfer agreement in the form attached as
Exhibit XII hereto, and provided, further, that no Loan Participant may grant
participations in any Loan Certificate or Certificates unless such grant shall
be made in accordance with Section 9(q). Each Loan Participant hereby agrees
that (x) any such sale, assignment, pledge, transfer or grant of participation
shall be made in accordance with this Section 9(p) or Section 9(q), as the case
may be, and so as not to violate any applicable laws, including without
limitation the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Trust Indenture Act of
1939, as amended, and any other applicable laws relating to the transfer of
similar interests and (y) no such sale, assignment, pledge, transfer or grant
of participation shall be made under circumstances that require registration
under such Securities Act or qualification of an indenture under such Trust
Indenture Act.
(q) Each Loan Participant agrees that it will not grant
participations (including, without limitation, "risk participations") in or to
all or a portion of its rights and obligations in respect of the Certificates
and any amounts from time to time payable to it in respect
66
AF-2
70
thereof, unless (A) in the case of each such participation, such participation
is made to a Permitted Transferee, (B) such Loan Participant's obligations
under the Operative Documents shall remain unchanged, including, without
limitation, under Section 2.13 of the Trust Indenture, (C) such Loan
Participant shall remain solely responsible to the other parties to the
Operative Documents for the performance of such obligations and (D) such Loan
Participant shall remain the Holder of its Loan Certificates, and the other
parties to the Operative Documents shall continue to deal solely and directly
with such Loan Participant in connection with its Loan Certificates and the
Loan Participant's rights and obligations under the Operative Documents. The
liability of the Owner Trustee in respect of increased costs, Break Amount and
taxes under Section 2.04, 2.17 or 2.18 of the Trust Indenture, and the
liability of the Lessee under Section 7(c) hereof in respect of amounts payable
directly to the Loan Participants, shall not, as a result of any participation
granted by any Loan Participant, exceed what would have been its liability
thereunder if such Loan Participant had not granted any such participation.
Each Loan Participant may, in connection with any participation or proposed
participation pursuant to this Section 9(q), disclose to the participant or
proposed participant any information relating to the Operative Documents or to
the parties thereto furnished to such Loan Participant thereunder or in
connection therewith and permitted to be disclosed by such Loan Participant;
provided, however, that prior to any such disclosure, the participant or
proposed participant shall agree in writing for the benefit of the Owner
Participant and the Lessee to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential
information included therein.
(r) NationsBank of Georgia, National Association, hereby
agrees that it will perform all of its administrative duties under this
Agreement and the other Operative Documents (whether in its individual capacity

both would become an Event of Default.

liable to the Lessee for any action or inaction on the part of the Owner
Trustee or the Indenture Trustee in connection with the Trust Indenture, the

Trustee or the Indenture Trustee unless such action or inaction is at the
direction of the Owner Participant (in the case of action or inaction on the
part of the Owner Trustee) or such Loan Participant (in the case of action or
inaction on the part of the Indenture Trustee).

accomplishing the purposes of this Agreement and the other Operative
Documents. The Lessee forthwith upon delivery of the Aircraft under
the Lease shall cause the Aircraft to be duly registered and at all
times thereafter to remain duly registered, in the name of the Owner
Trustee, except as otherwise required or permitted hereunder or under
the Lease, under the Federal Aviation Act, or shall furnish to the

furnish to the Owner Trustee such information as may be required to
enable the Owner Trustee to timely file any reports required to be

Subsidiary's FAA Bill of Sale, the FAA Bill of Sale, the Lease and the
Lease Supplement covering the Aircraft, the Trust Agreement, the Trust
Indenture and the Trust Agreement and Indenture Supplement covering

and Indenture Supplement attached thereto. The Lessee shall, upon
request from any of the parties hereto, provide photocopies of the
file-stamped copies of all documents filed or recorded with the FAA.
(C) The Lessee will furnish to the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee annually after the execution hereof (but not later
than March 15th of each year), commencing with the year 1993, an
opinion of Crowe & Dunlevy, P.C., or other counsel reasonably
acceptable to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, stating
either:
(i) that in the opinion of such counsel such action
has been taken with respect to the recording, filing,
re-recording and refiling of the Lease, the Trust Indenture,
the Trust Agreement and any supplements thereto, including any
financing or continuation statements, and such other filings
and recordings as is necessary to maintain, for the 15-month
period succeeding the date of such opinion, the rights and
interests of the Owner Trustee in and to the Aircraft, and,
with respect to the Trust Indenture, the perfection of the
security interests created
72
AF-2
76
thereby and reciting the details of such action; or
(ii) that in the opinion of such counsel no such
action is necessary to maintain, for the 15-month period
succeeding the date of such opinion, the perfection of such
rights and interests and security interests.
(D) The Lessee shall at all times maintain its corporate
existence except as permitted by Section 13(E) 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 its Board of Directors shall
determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the
conduct of the business of the Lessee. The Lessee shall, for so long
as and to the extent required under Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy
Code in order that the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee be
entitled to the benefits of Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code with
respect to the right to repossess the Airframe, Engines and Parts as
provided in the Lease, remain an "air carrier" within the meaning of
Section 101(16) of the Federal Aviation Act.
(E) The Lessee shall not consolidate with or merge into any
other corporation or convey, transfer or lease substantially all of
its assets as an entirety to any Person, unless:
(i) the corporation formed by such consolidation or
into which the Lessee is merged or the Person which acquires
by conveyance, transfer or lease substantially all of the
assets of the Lessee as an entirety shall be a corporation
organized and existing under the laws of the United States of
America or any State or the District of Columbia, shall be a
"citizen of the United States" as defined in Section 101(16)
of the Federal Aviation Act, and shall execute and deliver to
the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant, and the Indenture
Trustee an agreement in form reasonably satisfactory to each
thereof containing the assumption by such successor
corporation of the due and punctual performance
73
AF-2
77
and observance of each covenant and condition of this
Agreement, the Lease, the Purchase Agreement Assignment and
the Tax Indemnity Agreement, and each other Operative Document
to which the Lessee is a party, to be performed or observed by
the Lessee;
(ii) immediately after giving effect to such
transaction, no Event of Default under the Lease, and no event
which, after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become
such an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be
continuing; and
(iii) the Lessee shall have delivered to the Owner
Trustee, the Owner Participant and the Indenture Trustee a
certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Lessee, and
an opinion of counsel to the Lessee (which may be Lessee's
General Counsel), each stating that such consolidation,
merger, conveyance, transfer or lease and the assumption
agreement mentioned in clause (i) comply with this Section
13(E) and that all conditions precedent herein provided for
relating to such transaction have been complied with (except
that such opinion need not cover the matters referred to in
clause (ii) above and may rely, as to factual matters, on a
certificate of an officer of the Lessee) and, in the case of
such opinion, that such assumption agreement has been duly
authorized, executed and delivered by such successor
corporation and is enforceable against such successor
corporation in accordance with its terms, except as the same
may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the
rights of creditors generally and by general principles of
equity.
Upon any consolidation or merger, or any conveyance, transfer or lease
of substantially all of the assets of the Lessee as an entirety in
accordance with this Section 13(E), the successor corporation formed
by such consolidation or 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 and the other Operative Docu-
74
AF-2
78
ments with the same effect as if such successor corporation had been
named as the Lessee herein. No such conveyance, transfer or lease of
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 13(E) from its liability hereunder. 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.
(F) The provisions of the penultimate paragraph of Section
3(b) and Sections 3(c), 17 and 22 of the Lease are hereby incorporated
by reference herein for the express benefit of each Loan Participant.

referred to in Section 7(b)(iv) of the Lease, the Lessee shall provide
the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee with the name and address
of the Contracting Office Representative for the Military Airlift

Trustee and the Owner Participant hereby agree that for Federal income tax
purposes during the Term the Owner Participant will be the owner of the

Section 16. Certain Covenants of the Owner Participant. (a)
The Owner Participant hereby agrees to notify the Lessee or cause the Lessee to
be notified by telephone, telecopier or telegram not later than 1:00 p.m. New
York City time, on the third Business Day prior to the Base Lease Commencement
Date stating whether or not the Owner Participant intends to pay an amount
equal to $2,553,000.00 (the "Excess Payment Amount", subject to adjustment
pursuant to the following paragraph) in full by 1:00 p.m., New York City time,
on the Base Lease Commence-
82
AF-2
86
ment Date. The Owner Participant shall also have the right to reimburse the
Lessee at any time for all or any portion of the Reimbursement Amount for which
the Lessee has not received an offset pursuant to Section 3(f) of the Lease.
Although the amount of the Excess Payment Amount has been
computed on the assumption that each Certificate will bear interest at the
Assumed Debt Rate for such Certificate throughout the Interim Period, the Owner
Participant and the Lessee recognize that the actual rate of interest on each
Certificate may be a rate from time to time which may be greater or less than
the Assumed Debt Rate for such Certificate and that the related basis upon
which interest on the Certificates will be computed will be as provided in the
Trust Indenture. Accordingly, the Excess Payment Amount shall be increased or
decreased (but not below zero), as the case may be, by an amount (the "Excess
Payment Differential Amount") equal to, as of the Base Lease Commencement Date,
the difference between (i) the aggregate amount of interest actually due and
payable on the Base Lease Commencement Date on the Certificates for the period
from and including the Delivery Date to but excluding the Base Lease
Commencement Date, determined as provided in the Trust Indenture, and (ii) the
aggregate amount of interest on the Loan Certificates that would have been due
and payable on the Base Lease Commencement Date if the outstanding principal
amount of such Loan Certificates had borne interest at the Assumed Debt Rate
for the period from and including the Delivery Date to but excluding the Base
Lease Commencement Date. If, as of the Base Lease Commencement Date, the
amount determined in accordance with clause (i) of the immediately preceding
sentence shall be greater than the amount determined in accordance with clause
(ii) of such sentence, the Excess Payment Amount shall be increased by the
Excess Payment Differential Amount. If, as of the Base Lease Commencement
Date, the amount determined in accordance with such clause (ii) shall be
greater than the amount determined in accordance with such clause (i), the
Excess Payment Amount shall be decreased by the Excess Payment Differential
Amount. The interest actually accruing with respect to the Certificates shall
be as specified by the notification to be delivered by the Original Loan
Participant (whether or not it at the time holds any Loan Certificates) to each
of the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee, each other Loan Participant, the
Indenture Trustee and the Lessee as provided in Section 1(c) hereof.
83
AF-2
87
(b) The Owner Participant hereby unconditionally agrees with
and for the benefit of the other parties to this Agreement that the Owner
Participant will not directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or suffer to
exist any Lessor's Liens on or against any part of the Trust Estate or the
Aircraft arising out of any act or omission of or claim against or affecting
any part of the Trust Estate or the Aircraft arising out of any act or omission
of or claim against the Owner Participant, and the Owner Participant agrees
that it will, at its own cost and expense, take such action as may be necessary
to duly discharge and satisfy in full any such Lessor's Lien (by bonding or
otherwise, so long as Lessee's operation and use of the Aircraft is not
impaired and the lien of the Indenture is not impaired). The Owner Participant
hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Lessee, the Indenture Trustee
and each Loan Participant against any loss, cost or expense (including
reasonable legal fees and expenses) which may be suffered or incurred by any of
them as the result of the failure of the Owner Participant to discharge and
satisfy any such Lessor's Lien. In addition, the Owner Participant agrees to
indemnify, protect, save and keep harmless each Loan Participant from and
against any reduction in the amount payable out of the Indenture Estate to such
Loan Participant in respect of the Certificates held by such Loan Participant
or any other loss, cost or expenses (including reasonable legal fees and
expenses) incurred by such Loan Participant, as a result of the imposition or
enforcement of, or the Owner Participant's failure to satisfy, any Lessor's
Lien or claim against the Indenture Estate by any taxing authority because of
the nonpayment by the Owner Participant of any Taxes imposed on or measured by
the net income or revenues of the Owner Participant or the Trust Estate that
are not required to be indemnified against by the Lessee.
(c) The Owner Participant shall not directly or indirectly
assign, convey or otherwise transfer any of its right, title or interest in and
to all or any part of this Agreement, the Tax Indemnity Agreement, the Trust
Agreement, the Trust Estate, the Indenture Estate, the Purchase Agreement
Assignment, the Purchase Agreement or any of the other Operative Documents
except that the Owner Participant may assign, convey or otherwise transfer all
(but not less than all) thereof if:
84
AF-2
88
(i) (A) the Person to whom such transfer is made (the
"Transferee") is a "citizen of the United States" within the meaning
of Section 101(16) of the Federal Aviation Act (without the
utilization of a voting trust agreement, voting powers agreement or
similar arrangement by the Transferee or any Affiliate thereof unless
the Owner Participant obtains the consent of the Lessee and the
Indenture Trustee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld),
and has the requisite power, authority and legal right to enter into
and carry out the transactions contemplated hereby; (B) such
conveyance does not violate any provisions of the Federal Aviation
Act, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (and no registration
pursuant to such Act or the rules and regulations thereunder shall be
required in connection with such conveyance), or any other applicable
law, or create a relationship which would be in violation thereof, or
result in a "prohibited transaction" under ERISA or the Code; C) the
Transferee enters into an agreement or agreements, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lessee, the Owner Trustee and
the Indenture Trustee (the "Assumption Agreement") for the benefit of
the Lessee, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Loan
Participants, whereby the Transferee confirms that it shall be deemed
a party to this Participation Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Tax
Indemnity Agreement and each other Operative Document to which the
Owner Participant is a party, and the party named as the "Owner
Participant" in the Trust Agreement, the Lease and the Trust Indenture
and agrees to be bound by all of the terms of, and to undertake all of
the obligations of the Owner Participant contained in, this Agreement,
the Trust Agreement, the Tax Indemnity Agreement and each other
Operative Document to which the Owner Participant is a party or by
which the Owner Participant is bound, and in which the Transferee
shall, as a precondition to any such transfer, make representations
and warranties substantially equivalent to those of the Owner
Participant contained herein and, in the event such Transferee is a
partnership, such additional documents and/or amendments to the
Operative Documents (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the Lessee, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee) as the
Lessee, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee may reasonably
request; D) after giving effect to
85
AF-2
89
such assignment, conveyance or transfer, there would be no more than
one Owner Participant with respect to the Aircraft; (E) the Owner
Participant shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee
(unless the lien of the Trust Indenture is discharged) and the Lessee
an opinion of counsel (which shall be the general counsel of the
Transferee or other counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Lessee and
the Indenture Trustee), that the Assumption Agreement has been duly
authorized, executed and delivered by the Transferee and is
enforceable against such Transferee in accordance with its terms,
except as the same may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the
rights of creditors generally or by general principles of equity; (F)
the Owner Participant shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee (unless the lien of the Trust Indenture is
discharged) and the Lessee one or more certificates of a duly
authorized officer of the transferor and if necessary transferee Owner
Participant concerning, when taken together, all of the matters
contained in clauses (A) and (D) of this paragraph (i) and (except in
connection with any such assignment, transfer or conveyance to a
direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of American Telephone and
Telegraph Company) an opinion delivered by counsel of the type
referred to in clause (E) to the effect that such transfer complies
with the provisions of clauses (A) (except as to citizenship), (B) and
(D) of this paragraph (i); and (G) the transferor and/or transferee
Owner Participant assumes by an instrument in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Lessee and the Indenture Trustee the
risk of any adverse tax consequences to any Tax Indemnitee resulting
from such conveyance; and
(ii) either (A) the Transferee is a bank or lending
institution with a combined capital and surplus of at least
$75,000,000, or is a corporation or domestic partnership with net
worth of at least $75,000,000, exclusive of goodwill, all of the
foregoing determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles (hereinafter referred to as a "Qualifying Institution"), or
(B) if the Transferee is not itself a Qualifying Institution, a parent
corporation of the Transferee which qualifies as a Qualifying
Institution shall have executed and
86
AF-2
90
delivered to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee (unless the lien
of the Trust Indenture is discharged) and the Lessee an absolute and
unconditional guaranty, in form and substance satisfactory to the
Lessee and the Indenture Trustee, with respect to the obligations of
the Transferee as the Owner Participant assumed by the Transferee
under the Assumption Agreement referred to above, and the Transferee
shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee (unless the lien of the Trust
Indenture is discharged), the Owner Trustee and the Lessee an opinion
of counsel (which shall be the general counsel of the Qualifying
Institution providing such guaranty or other counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Lessee and the Indenture Trustee) that such
guaranty is enforceable against the guarantor in accordance with its
terms.
In the event that the Owner Participant is neither American
Telephone and Telegraph Company, AT&T Credit Corporation nor any other
Affiliate of American Telephone and Telegraph Company, any transfer by direct
sale, consolidation, merger or otherwise of 50% or more of the capital stock of
the Owner Participant (including, for this purpose, any such transfer of the
capital stock of any one of its direct or indirect parent companies or other
parent entities, other than its ultimate parent entity) (any such transfer
being referred to as a "Change in Control") shall be deemed to be a conveyance
by such Owner Participant of its interests in the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement subject to this Section 16(c), and accordingly no such Change in
Control shall take place without the Lessee's consent unless it satisfies the
terms and conditions set forth in this Section 16(c), including without
limitation those set forth in paragraphs (i) and (ii) above; provided that no
such transfer of the capital stock of an Owner Participant that is American
Telephone and Telegraph Company, AT&T Credit Corporation or any other Affiliate
of American Telephone and Telegraph Company (or any of the direct or indirect
parent companies or other parent entities of any thereof) shall be prohibited
by or subject to the terms of this Section 16(c). Notwithstanding the
foregoing sentence, if (x) the obligations of such Owner Participant were
guaranteed at the time such Owner Participant became the Owner Participant
hereunder by a parent entity that was at such time a Qualifying Institution
(the "Parent Guarantor"), and (y) following a Change in Control, the Transferee
remains both a member of the controlled or consolidated
87
AF-2
91
group of companies of which the Parent Guarantor is a part and a subsidiary of
the Parent Guarantor, such Transferee shall comply with the conditions set
forth in paragraph (i) above, but shall not be required to satisfy the
conditions set forth in paragraph (ii) above; provided that such guaranty of
the Parent Guarantor is amended to remain in full force and effect in respect
of the Transferee and the Transferee delivers to the Indenture Trustee (unless
the lien of the Trust Indenture is discharged), the Owner Trustee and the
Lessee an opinion of counsel (which shall be the general counsel of the Parent
Guarantor or other counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Lessee) in form and
substance satisfactory to the Lessee and the Owner Trustee as to the continued
legality, validity and enforceability of such guaranty.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the Lease is in
effect, there shall not be more than five transfers (not including any transfer
to any Affiliate of American Telephone and Telegraph Company) by the Owner
Participant (including its successors and permitted assigns) pursuant to this
Section 16(c) without the prior written consent of the Lessee, such consent not
to be unreasonably withheld. Any fees, charges and expenses incurred by the
Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, any Loan Participant or the Lessee in
connection with any transfer pursuant to this Section 16(c), including, without
limitation the out-of-pocket expenses of the Lessee and reasonable legal fees
and expenses, will be paid by the transferring Owner Participant and in no case
will the Lessee be responsible for any such fees, charges or expenses; provided
that the transferring Owner Participant shall be obligated to pay the
reasonable fees and expenses of only one counsel to the Loan Participants.
Without the consent of the Lessee, no transfer shall be permitted pursuant to
this Section 16(c) to a Transferee that is (i) an airline or other commercial
operator of aircraft that is a competitor of the Lessee or any of its
Affiliates or (ii) a corporation or other entity that is an Affiliate of any
such airline or other commercial operator of aircraft.
Upon any such conveyance by the Owner Participant to a
Transferee permitted by this Section 16(c), the Transferee shall be deemed the
"Owner Participant" for all purposes hereof (unless the context is
inappropriate) and shall be deemed to have made all the investments in
beneficial ownership of the Aircraft previously made by the
88
AF-2
92
Owner Participant in respect of the right, title and interest so conveyed; and
each reference in this Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Lease, the Tax
Indemnity Agreement, the Trust Indenture and the other Operative Documents to
the Owner Participant making the transfer shall thereafter be deemed a
reference to the Transferee as the Owner Participant (unless the context is
inappropriate). Upon any such conveyance by the Owner Participant to a
Transferee permitted by the foregoing provisions of this Section 16(c), the
transferor Owner Participant shall be relieved of all of its liabilities and
obligations hereunder and under the Trust Agreement to the extent of the
interest so transferred, provided that in no event will any such conveyance
release the transferor Owner Participant from any liability to the extent
caused by any breach existing at the time of such conveyance by the Owner
Participant of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations
contained herein or in the Trust Agreement. If the Owner Participant proposes
to transfer its interests pursuant to this Section 16(c), it shall give 20
days' (or, in the case of a transfer where the Transferee is an Affiliate of
the Owner Participant making the transfer, 10 days') prior written notice
thereof to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Lessee, specifying
the name and address of the transferee and specifying the facts necessary to
determine whether the conditions of this Section 16(c) have been or shall be
satisfied.
SECTION 17. Optional Redemption of Certificates. (a) So
long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lessee
shall have the right to request the Owner Participant and the Owner Trustee to
effect an optional redemption of all of the Certificates (the "Outstanding
Certificates") (such term to include the Certificates originally issued under
the Trust Indenture and any refunding indebtedness issued pursuant to this
Section 17 or Section 20) pursuant to the Trust Indenture as part of a
refunding or refinancing operation. Promptly on receipt of such request, the
Owner Participant will negotiate promptly in good faith to conclude an
agreement with the Lessee as to the terms of such refunding or refinancing
operation and upon such agreement:
(i) the Lessee, the Owner Participant, the Indenture Trustee,
the Owner Trustee, and any other appropriate parties will enter into a
financing or loan agreement (which may involve an underwriting
89
AF-2
93
agreement in connection with a public offering; provided, however, that
in the case of a refunding or refinancing involving a public offering
of debt securities, the Lessee shall have the right to purchase such
debt securities and apply such debt securities as a credit against its
obligations to pay Rent to the extent permitted by the Tax Indemnity
Agreement) providing for (x) the issuance and sale by the Owner
Trustee or such other party as may be appropriate to such institution
or institutions on the date specified in such agreement (for the
purposes of this Section 17, the "Refunding Date") of United States
Dollar-denominated debt securities in an aggregate principal amount
equal to the sum of the principal amount of the Outstanding
Certificates on the Refunding Date and, subject to clause (w) of
Section 17(a)(ii), all interest accrued thereon to the Refunding Date
and (y) the application of the proceeds of the sale of such debt
securities to the redemption of all such Certificates on the Refunding
Date;
(ii) the Lessee and the Owner Trustee will amend the Lease
such that (w) if the Refunding Date is not a Lease Period Date, the
Lessee shall on the Refunding Date prepay that portion of the next
succeeding installment of Basic Rent as shall equal the aggregate
interest accrued on the Outstanding Certificates to the Refunding Date
in the event that such interest is not financed through the issuance
of debt securities on the Refunding Date (provided that if the
Refunding Date occurs on or prior to the Base Lease Commencement Date,
the Owner Participant may, pursuant to Section 16(a) hereof on the
Refunding Date prepay the Excess Payment Amount), (x) Basic Rent
payable in respect of the period from and after the Refunding Date
shall be recalculated to preserve the Owner Participant's Net Economic
Return (or, in the case of any recalculation hereunder subsequent to
any Section 20 Refinancing, the Owner Participant's Revised Net
Economic Return), (y) amounts payable in respect of Stipulated Loss
Value and Termination Value from and after the Refunding Date shall be
appropriately recalculated to preserve the Owner Participant's Net
Economic Return (or, in the case of any recalculation hereunder
subsequent to the Section 20 Refinancing, the Owner Participant's
Revised Net Economic Return) and (z) the Special Purchase
90
AF-2
94
Price and the Special Purchase Option Date shall be recalculated as
provided in Section 18;
(iii) the Owner Trustee will enter into an agreement to
provide for the securing thereunder of the debt securities issued by
the Owner Trustee pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 17 in like
manner as the Certificates issuable under the Trust Indenture and/or
will enter into such amendments and supplements to the Trust Indenture
as may be necessary to effect such refunding or refinancing, provided
that no such amendment or supplement will materially increase the
liabilities of or impair the rights of the Owner Participant under the
Operative Documents without the consent of the Owner Participant; and
(iv) unless otherwise agreed by the Owner Participant, the
Lessee shall pay as Supplemental Rent on an After-Tax Basis all
reasonable fees, costs, and expenses of such refunding or refinancing;
provided, however, that (w) there shall be no more than two such refundings or
refinancings (not including the Section 20 Refinancing), (x) if within 15 days
after receipt of a request from the Lessee to effect a refunding or refinancing
pursuant to this Section 17, which request specifies the proposed structural
terms and the amount thereof, the Owner Participant provides the Lessee with a
written notice to the effect that there will be a risk of adverse tax
consequences to the Owner Participant resulting from the refunding or
refinancing and, if then requested by the Lessee in writing, within 15 days
after receipt of such request, the Owner Participant provides the Lessee with a
written opinion of independent tax counsel selected by the Owner Participant
and reasonably acceptable to the Lessee to the effect that there will be a risk
of such adverse tax consequences to the Owner Participant resulting from the
refunding or refinancing (other than the consequence that the refinanced loan
constitutes "qualified nonrecourse indebtedness" within the meaning of
Temporary Regulations Section 1.861-10T(b) for the purpose of the computation
of the FSC Benefits (as defined in the Tax Indemnity Agreement)), then the
Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant shall be required to effect such
refunding or refinancing only if the Lessee shall have agreed to indemnify the
Owner Participant against such identified adverse tax consequences in a manner
reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Participant;
91
AF-2
95
provided, however, the parties agree that in the absence of a change in
applicable laws, regulations, revenue rulings, revenue procedures or judicial
precedents enacted, adopted or decided after the Delivery Date, a refinancing
or refunding will not be deemed for this purpose to result in a risk of the
Owner Participant not being considered the owner of the Aircraft, Airframe, any
Engine or any Part for Federal or other income tax purposes, (y) no such
refinancing or refunding shall require an increase in the amount of the Owner
Participant's investment in the beneficial ownership of the Aircraft or shall
cause the ratio of the newly issued debt to the Owner Participant's then
outstanding investment in the Aircraft to be more than 4 to 1 and (z) except
with respect to matters relating to taxes, no such refunding or refinancing
will materially increase the liabilities of or impair the rights of the Owner
Participant. In addition, if any such refunding or refinancing occurs after
the Section 20 Refinancing, neither the refunding or refinancing, nor any
related adjustment of Basic Rent, shall increase or decrease the periodic
earnings (as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13
issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board) of the Owner Participant
for any calendar year in the period (if any) from the date of such refunding or
refinancing to December 31, 1998 each by an amount greater than 10% of the
amount of earnings expected for each such calendar year immediately prior to
such refunding or refinancing.
(c) The Certificates, and any other debt instruments issued
in connection with any refunding or refinancing operation permitted by this
Section 17, shall not be subject to optional redemption by the Owner Trustee
without the consent of the Lessee (except as provided in Section 2.13 of the
Trust Indenture).
SECTION 18. Calculation of Adjustments to Basic Rent,
Stipulated Loss Value, Termination Value, etc.; Confirmation and Verification.
(a) Calculation of Adjustments. In the event that (A) the expenses paid by
the Owner Participant pursuant to Section 9(a) hereof (except for any expenses
paid or payable to any financial advisor to the Owner Participant) and such
other expenses as the Lessee shall expressly agree in writing shall be deemed
to be "Transaction Costs" (collectively, the "Transaction Costs") are less or
more than 0.5% of Lessor's Cost, or (B) prior to the acceptance of the Aircraft
on the Delivery Date: (1) there shall have occurred a Change in Tax
92
AF-2
96
Law and (2) after having been advised in writing by the Owner Participant of
such Change in Tax Law and the proposed adjustment to the payments of Basic
Rent resulting therefrom, Lessee shall have waived its right under Section 11
hereof to decline to proceed with the transaction, or (C) a refinancing or
refunding as contemplated by Section 17 hereof occurs (it being understood that
if the Refunding Date occurs on or prior to the Base Lease Commencement Date,
any recalculations pursuant to this clause (C) shall take into account any
prepayment by the Owner Participant on such Refunding Date of the Excess
Payment Amount pursuant to Section 16(a) hereof under clause (w) of Section
17(a)(ii) hereof or under clause (w) of Section 20(a)(ii) hereof), or (D) the
Delivery Date is other than July 9, 1992, or (E) if the Certificates are not
refunded or refinanced on or prior to the Base Lease Commencement Date, the
Excess Payment Amount (after adjustment for any Excess Payment Differential
Amount) is other than $2,553,000.00, then, in each case, the Owner Participant
shall recalculate the payments of Basic Rent and Stipulated Loss Values,
Termination Values and the Excess Payment Amount with respect to the Term (i)
to preserve the Owner Participant's Net Economic Return (or, in the case of any
recalculation hereunder subsequent to the Section 20 Refinancing, the Owner
Participant's Revised Net Economic Return) and (ii) to minimize to the greatest
extent possible, consistent with the foregoing clause (i), the present value
(discounted semiannually at an interest rate per annum to be supplied by the
Lessee) of the payments of Basic Rent. In addition, in the event of a
refinancing or refunding referred to in clause (C) of the preceding sentence,
the Special Purchase Price Percentage and the Special Purchase Option Date
shall be recalculated in a manner consistent with the procedures specified in
the second sentence of Section 20(c). In performing any such recalculations,
the Owner Participant shall utilize the same methods and assumptions originally
used to calculate the payments of Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss Values,
Termination Values and Special Purchase Price Percentage with respect to the
Term (or, in the case of any recalculation hereunder subsequent to the Section
20 Refinancing, the same methods and assumptions originally used by the
original Owner Participant in the calculation of the alternate schedules
referred to in the definition of the Owner Participant's Revised Net Economic
Return and the Special Purchase Price Percentage and held in escrow by Sidley &
Austin pursuant to Section 18(d)) (in each case as such assumptions may be
changed as a result of the
93
AF-2
97
event described in clause (A), (B), (C) or (D) of the second preceding sentence
necessitating such recalculation or due to the prior occurrence of any such
event or the prior occurrence of the Section 20 Refinancing); provided that,
Basic Rent, as so recomputed, shall comply with the requirements of Sections
4.02(5) and 4.07(1) of Revenue Procedure 75-28, 1975-1 C.B. 752, and shall not
present a greater risk that Section 467(b)(2) of the Code would apply than the
risk that Section 467(b)(2) applied prior to such recomputation, it being
agreed that the requirements of clause (i) of Section 5.01 of Rev. Proc. 75-21,
1975-1 C.B. 715, shall be applied on a prospective basis.
(b) Confirmation and Verification. Upon completion of any
recalculation described above in Section 18(a), a duly authorized officer of
the Owner Participant shall provide a certificate to the Lessee either (x)
stating that the payments of Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss Values and Termination
Values with respect to the Term and, in the case of the second sentence of
Section 18(a), the Special Purchase Price Percentage as are then applicable do
not require change, or (y) setting forth such adjustments to the payments of
Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss Values or Termination Values with respect to the
Term and, in the case of the second sentence of Section 18(a), the Special
Purchase Price Percentage as have been calculated by the Owner Participant in
accordance with Section 18(a) above and Section 3(e) of the Lease. Such
certificate shall describe in reasonable detail the basis for any such
adjustments. If the Lessee shall so request, the recalculation of any such
adjustments described in this Section 18 shall be verified by a nationally
recognized firm of independent public accountants jointly selected by the
Lessee and the Owner Participant (provided that such firm of independent public
accountants shall not be regularly retained by either the Lessee or the Owner
Participant). A representative of such firm shall be shown, on a confidential
basis, the original assumptions used by the Owner Participant and held in
escrow by Sidley & Austin pursuant to Section 18(d) and the methods used by the
Owner Participant in the original calculation of, and any recalculation of,
Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss Values and Termination Values and, in the case of
the second sentence of Section 18(a), the Special Purchase Price Percentage
(or, in the case of any recalculation hereunder subsequent to the Section 20
Refinancing, the same methods and assumptions originally used by the original
Owner Participant in the calculation
94
AF-2
98
of the alternate schedules referred to in the definition of the Owner
Participant's Revised Net Economic Return and the Special Purchase Price
Percentage held in escrow by Sidley & Austin pursuant to Section 18(d)). The
reasonable costs of such verification shall be borne by the Lessee, unless as a
result of such verification process the payments of Basic Rent are adjusted and
such adjustment causes (i) the present value of the payments of Basic Rent,
discounted semi-annually at the Assumed Debt Rate, to decline by five basis
points or more from the present value of the payments of Basic Rent, discounted
semi-annually at the Assumed Debt Rate, certified by the Owner Participant
pursuant to this Section 18(b) or (ii) any Stipulated Loss Value or Termination
Value percentage or, in the case of the second sentence of Section 18(a), the
Special Purchase Price Percentage, to be significantly below that certified by
the Owner Participant pursuant to this Section 18(b), in which case the Owner
Participant shall be responsible for the reasonable costs of such verification.
In connection with any adjustment pursuant to this Section 18 or Section 20,
the Owner Participant, the Lessee, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee
shall enter into an appropriately revised Rent Schedule.
(c) Payment of Debt Service. No adjustment may be made to
the payments of Basic Rent or to Stipulated Loss Values or Termination Values
with respect to the Term, unless (i) each installment of Basic Rent (or, in the
case of the Base Lease Commencement Date, the Excess Payment Amount), as so
adjusted, under any circumstances and in any event, will be in an amount at
least sufficient for the Owner Trustee to pay in full as of the due date of
such installment any payment of principal or interest on the Certificates
required to be paid on the due date of such installment of Basic Rent (or on
the Base Lease Commencement Date, as the case may be) and (ii) Stipulated Loss
Value and Termination Value, as so adjusted, under any circumstances and in any
event, will be an amount which, together with any other amounts required to be
paid by the Lessee under the Lease in connection with an Event of Loss or a
termination of the Lease, as the case may be, will be at least sufficient to
pay in full, as of the date of payment thereof, the aggregate unpaid principal
of and all unpaid interest on the Certificates accrued to the date on which
Stipulated Loss Value or Termination Value, as the case may be, is paid in
accordance with the terms of the Lease.
95
AF-2
99
(d) Escrow. The Owner Participant agrees to place in escrow
with Sidley & Austin, and to cause Sidley & Austin to retain, (i) the
assumptions and methods utilized by the Owner Participant in the calculation of
the schedules of Basic Rent, Termination Value and Stipulated Loss Value
referred to the definition of the Owner Participant's Net Economic Return, and
in the calculation of the Special Purchase Price Percentage as of the Delivery
Date, (ii) the assumptions and methods utilized by the Owner Participant in the
calculation of the alternate schedules of Basic Rent, Termination Value and
Stipulated Loss Value referred to the definition of the Owner Participant's
Revised Net Economic Return, together with such alternate schedules, and the
Special Purchase Price Percentage applicable to a lease financing accomplished
pursuant to such alternate schedules (calculated to preserve the Special
Purchase Price Yield to the applicable Special Purchase Option Date in
accordance with the methodology described in the second sentence to Section
20(c)), copies of which alternate schedules and such Special Purchase Price
Percentage have been provided to the Lessee, and (iii) any adjustments made to
any of the assumptions referred to in clause (i) or (ii) of this sentence to
take into account the effect of any change of the type specified in Section
3(e) of the Lease which theretofore has resulted in an adjustment of the
percentages of Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss Value, Termination Value or Special
Purchase Price Percentage. In connection with the foregoing, the Owner
Participant will provide Sidley & Austin with such supporting documents and
materials, and access to such computer programs and/or software, as would be
complete and sufficient, without more, to enable the verification, as
contemplated by Section 18(b), of any calculations made by the Owner
Participant under this Section 18 or Section 20.
SECTION 19. Concerning the Owner Trustee. Wilmington Trust
Company is entering into this Agreement solely in its capacity as Owner Trustee
under the Trust Agreement and not in its individual capacity (except as
expressly stated herein) and in no case shall Wilmington Trust Company (or any
entity acting as successor Owner Trustee under the Trust Agreement) be
personally liable for or on account of any of the statements, representations,
warranties, covenants or obligations stated to be those of the Owner Trustee
hereunder, provided, however, that Wilmington Trust Company (or any such
successor Owner
96
AF-2
100
Trustee) shall be personally liable hereunder for its own gross negligence or
willful misconduct or for its breach of its covenants, representations and
warranties contained herein, to the extent covenanted or made in its individual
capacity.
SECTION 20. Section 20 Refinancing. (a) In addition to the
provisions set forth in Section 17, whether or not a refunding or refinancing
pursuant to such Section 17 shall have previously occurred, and with regard to
the role of Credit (as defined in the Tax Indemnity Agreement) in the
transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements, at any time the Lessee
shall have the right to request the Owner Participant and the Owner Trustee to
effect an optional redemption of all of the Outstanding Certificates as part of
a refunding or refinancing operation with refinancing indebtedness with respect
to which the refinancing indebtedness has a final maturity date of at least six
months after the final maturity date of the Outstanding Certificates and has a
weighted average life to maturity at least 90 days longer than the remaining
weighted average life to maturity of the Outstanding Certificates (such
refinancing hereinafter referred to as the "Section 20 Refinancing"). Promptly
on receipt of such request (which request shall specifically designate such
refinancing as the Section 20 Refinancing), the Owner Participant will, in good
faith, use all reasonable efforts to conclude an agreement with the Lessee as
to the terms of such Section 20 Refinancing and upon such agreement:
(i) the Lessee, the Owner Participant, the Indenture Trustee,
the Owner Trustee, and any other appropriate parties will enter into a
financing or loan agreement (which may involve an underwriting
agreement in connection with a public offering; provided, however,
that in the case of a refunding or refinancing involving a public
offering of debt securities, the Lessee shall have the right to
purchase such debt securities and apply such debt securities as a
credit against its obligations to pay Rent to the extent permitted by
the Tax Indemnity Agreement) providing for (x) the issuance and sale
by the Owner Trustee or such other party as may be appropriate to such
institution or institutions on the date specified in such agreement
(for the purposes of this Section 20, the "Section 20 Refunding Date")
of United States Dollar-denominated debt
97
AF-2
101
securities in an aggregate principal amount at least equal to the
principal amount of the Outstanding Certificates on the Section 20
Refunding Date and, subject to clause (w) of Section 20(a)(ii), all
interest accrued thereon to the Section 20 Refunding Date and (y) the
application of the proceeds of the sale of such debt securities to the
redemption of all such Certificates on the Section 20 Refunding Date;
(ii) the Lessee and the Owner Trustee will amend the Lease
such that (w) if the Section 20 Refunding Date is not a Lease Period
Date, the Lessee shall on the Section 20 Refunding Date prepay that
portion of the next succeeding installment of Basic Rent as shall
equal the aggregate interest accrued on the Outstanding Certificates
to the Section 20 Refunding Date in the event that such interest is
not financed through the issuance of debt securities on the Section 20
Refunding Date, provided that if the Section 20 Refunding Date occurs
on or prior to the Base Lease Commencement Date, the Owner Participant
may, pursuant to Section 16(a), prepay the Excess Payment Amount or
such portion thereof on the Section 20 Refunding Date as the Lessee
and the Owner Participant shall agree is advisable in order to
optimize the revised rental schedules to be calculated pursuant to
Section 20(c), (x) Basic Rent payable in respect of the period from
and after the Section 20 Refunding Date shall be recalculated pursuant
to Section 20(c) to preserve the Owner Participant's Revised Net
Economic Return, (y) amounts payable in respect of Stipulated Loss
Value and Termination Value from and after the Section 20 Refunding
Date shall be appropriately recalculated pursuant to Section 20(c) to
preserve the Owner Participant's Revised Net Economic Return and (z)
the Special Purchase Price Percentage and the Special Purchase Option
Date shall be recalculated pursuant to Section 20(c);
(iii) the Owner Trustee will enter into an agreement to
provide for the securing thereunder of the debt securities issued by
the Owner Trustee pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 20 in like
manner as the Certificates issuable under the Trust Indenture and/or
will enter into such amendments and supplements to the Trust Indenture
as may be necessary to effect such refunding or refinancing; and
98
AF-2
102
(iv) unless otherwise agreed by the Owner Participant, the
Lessee shall pay as Supplemental Rent on an After-Tax Basis all
reasonable fees, costs, and expenses of such refunding or refinancing;
provided, however, that if within 15 days after receipt of a request from the
Lessee to effect the Section 20 Refinancing, which request specifies the
proposed structural terms of such refinancing and the amount of refinancing
indebtedness, the Owner Participant provides the Lessee with a written notice
to the effect that there will be a risk of adverse tax consequences to the
Owner Participant resulting from the Section 20 Refinancing and, if then
requested by the Lessee in writing, within 15 days after receipt of such
request, the Owner Participant provides the Lessee with a written opinion of
independent tax counsel selected by the Owner Participant and reasonably
acceptable to the Lessee to the effect that there will be a risk of such
adverse tax consequences to the Owner Participant resulting from the Section 20
Refinancing (other than the consequence that the refinanced loan constitutes
"qualified nonrecourse indebtedness" within the meaning of Temporary
Regulations Section 1.861-10T(b) for the purpose of the computation of the FSC
Benefits (as defined in the Tax Indemnity Agreement)), then the Owner Trustee
and the Owner Participant shall be required to effect the Section 20
Refinancing only if the Lessee shall have agreed to indemnify the Owner
Participant against such identified adverse tax consequences in a manner
reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Participant; provided, however, the
parties agree that in the absence of a change in applicable laws, regulations,
revenue rulings, revenue procedures or judicial precedents enacted, adopted or
decided after the Delivery Date, the Section 20 Refinancing will not be deemed
for this purpose to result in a risk of the Owner Participant not being
considered the owner of the Aircraft, Airframe, any Engine or any Part for
Federal or other income tax purposes.
Each of the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee, each Loan
Participant and the Indenture Trustee agrees to use all reasonable efforts to
facilitate the Section 20 Refinancing, including, without limitation, by making
such modifications to, or entering into such amendments and supplements to, the
Operative Documents as may be appropriate or necessary to effect the Section 20
Refinancing.
99
AF-2
103
(b) The Section 20 Refinancing shall not constitute a
refunding or refinancing for the purposes of Section 17. Any debt instruments
issued in connection with the Section 20 Refinancing shall not be subject to
optional redemption by the Owner Trustee without the consent of the Lessee
(except as provided in Section 2.13 of the Trust Indenture).
(c) In connection with the Section 20 Refinancing, the Owner
Participant shall recalculate the payments of Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss
Values and Termination Values with respect to the Term and, if the Section 20
Refunding Date occurs on or prior to the Base Lease Commencement Date, the
Excess Payment Amount payable pursuant to Section 16(a) hereof (such
recalculation of the Excess Payment Amount to take into account any prepayment
by the Owner Participant on such Section 20 Refunding Date of all or part of
the Excess Payment Amount under clause (w) of Section 20(a)(ii)), (i) to
achieve the Owner Participant's Revised Net Economic Return, and (ii) to
minimize, to the greatest extent possible consistent with the foregoing clause
(i), the present value (discounted semiannually at an interest rate per annum
to be supplied by the Lessee) of the payments of Basic Rent. In addition, in
such event, the Special Purchase Price Percentage shall be recalculated in
order to preserve the Special Purchase Price Yield to the Special Purchase
Option Date of July 9, 2012; provided that the Special Purchase Price
Percentage for the Special Purchase Option Date, as so adjusted, shall not be
less than 56.9%. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner Participant, the
Owner Trustee and the Lessee agree that, at the Lessee's option, the Lessee may
request that the Special Purchase Option Date be changed (and that the Special
Purchase Price Percentage be recalculated as of such changed date) to whichever
of the four Lease Period Dates preceding the Special Purchase Option Date or
the two Lease Period Dates following the Special Purchase Option Date (each, an
"Alternate Special Purchase Option Date") would result in the lowest possible
sum of (1) the present value (discounted semiannually at an interest rate per
annum to be supplied by the Lessee) of the payments of Basic Rent for the
period from the Section 20 Refunding Date to and including the applicable
Alternate Special Purchase Option Date (but excluding any Basic Rent designated
as payable in advance on such Alternate Special Purchase Option Date) and (2)
the present value (discounted semiannually at an interest rate per annum to be
supplied by the Lessee) of the Special Pur-
100
AF-2
104
chase Price as of such Alternate Special Purchase Option Date, and that, if
necessary, the Lease shall be amended to reflect the change in the Special
Purchase Option Date from July 9, 2012 to whichever of the Alternate Special
Purchase Option Dates as would give rise to the lowest such sum; provided that
upon any such request by the Lessee to change the Special Purchase Option Date
to an Alternate Special Purchase Option Date, the Owner Participant shall, at
its cost and expense, obtain an estimate of the fair market value (taking into
account a reasonable estimate for inflation and deflation) of the Aircraft, as
of any Alternate Special Purchase Option Dates specified by the Lessee, from BK
Associates, Inc. or, if BK Associates, Inc. shall not then be an independent
aircraft appraiser, from an independent aircraft appraiser selected by mutual
agreement of the Owner Participant and the Lessee or, if they shall be unable
to agree, from an appraiser selected pursuant to an Independent Appraisal
(except that all costs and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the
Owner Participant) and, if the estimated fair market value of the Aircraft
determined by such appraiser (expressed as a percentage of Lessor's Cost) is
more than the Special Purchase Price Percentage calculated for the Alternate
Special Purchase Option Date as provided above in this sentence to which the
Lessee has requested the Special Purchase Option Date be changed, the Special
Purchase Option Date shall remain unchanged and the Special Purchase Price
Percentage shall be the percentage determined in accordance with the preceding
sentence, unless the Lessee elects that the Special Purchase Price Percentage
as of such Alternate Special Purchase Option Date shall be equal to such
estimated fair market value (computed as a percentage of Lessor's Cost), in
which case the Lease shall be amended to reflect such Alternate Special
Purchase Option Date. In performing any such recalculations in respect of
Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss Value and Termination Value, the Owner Participant
shall utilize the same methods and assumptions originally used to calculate the
alternate schedules of Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss Values and Termination
Values referred to in the definition of the Owner Participant's Revised Net
Economic Return and in performing any such recalculations in respect of the
Special Purchase Price Percentage, the Owner Participant shall, subject to the
proviso to the preceding sentence, utilize the same methods and assumptions
originally used to calculate the Special Purchase Price Percentage held in
escrow by Sidley & Austin pursuant to Section 18(d) (other than, in each case,
those
101
AF-2
105
assumptions changed as a result of the Section 20 Refinancing; it being agreed
that such recalculation shall reflect solely any changes of assumptions or
facts resulting directly from such Section 20 Refinancing or due to the prior
occurrence of any event taken into account in a recalculation pursuant to
Section 18), provided that, Basic Rent, as so recomputed, shall comply with the
requirements of Sections 4.02(5) and 4.07(1) of Revenue Procedure 75-28, 1975-1
C.B. 752, and shall not present a greater risk that Section 467(b)(2) of the
Code would apply than the risk that Section 467(b)(2) applied prior to such
recomputation, it being agreed that the requirements of clause (i) of Section
5.01 of Rev. Proc. 75-21, 1975-1 C.B. 715, shall be applied on a prospective
basis.
Upon completion of any recalculation described above in this
Section 20(c), a duly authorized officer of the Owner Participant shall provide
a certificate to the Lessee either (x) stating that the payments of Basic Rent,
Stipulated Loss Values and Termination Values with respect to the Term, and the
Special Purchase Price Percentage and the Special Purchase Option Date, as are
then set forth in the Lease do not require change, or (y) setting forth such
adjustments to the payments of Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss Values or
Termination Values with respect to the Term and the Special Purchase Price
Percentage and the Special Purchase Option Date, as have been calculated by the
Owner Participant in accordance with the above provisions. Such certificate
shall describe in reasonable detail the basis for any such adjustments. If the
Lessee shall so request, the recalculation of any such adjustments described in
this Section 20 shall be verified by procedures substantially identical to the
verification procedures set forth in Section 18(b). No adjustment may be made
to the payments of Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss Values or Termination Values
with respect to the Term pursuant to this Section 20 except in accordance with
the provisions of Section 18(c).
Section 21. Miscellaneous. (a) Nothing contained in this
Agreement, or in the Lease, the Trust Indenture, the Trust Agreement or the Tax
Indemnity Agreement shall be construed as a guarantee by the Lessee of payments
due pursuant to the Certificates or of the residual value or useful life of the
Aircraft or any portion thereof.
102
AF-2
106
(b) Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited and
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. This Agreement may be
executed by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall
together constitute but one and the same instrument. Neither this Agreement
nor any of the terms hereof may be terminated, amended, supplemented, waived or
modified orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party
against which the enforcement of the termination, amendment, supplement, waiver
or modification is sought. The section and paragraph headings in this
Agreement and the index preceding this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and shall not modify, define, expand or limit any of the terms
or provisions hereof and all references herein to numbered sections, unless
otherwise indicated, are to sections of this Agreement.
(c) The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and
shall inure to the benefit of, the Lessee and, subject to the terms of Section
13(E) hereof, its successors and permitted assigns, the Indenture Trustee and
its successors as Indenture Trustee under the Trust Indenture, the Owner
Trustee and its successors as Owner Trustee under the Trust Agreement, the
Owner Participant and, subject to the provisions of Section 16(c) hereof, its
successors and permitted assigns, and the Original Loan Participant and,
subject to the provisions of Section 9(p) hereof, the other Loan Participants.
Each Loan Participant other than the Original Loan Participant, by its
acceptance of any Certificate, shall be deemed to have irrevocably and
unconditionally agreed to perform the obligations of a Loan Participant
hereunder and under the Trust Indenture.
(d) With respect to any opinion required to be delivered
under any Operative Document by counsel to any party hereto, each party hereto
hereby irrevocably instructs its applicable counsel to deliver such opinion to
and for the benefit of the parties that are the addressees of such opinion.

Each of the Loan Participants and the Owner Participant hereby agrees that,

Participant other than the Original Loan Participant a copy of any notice

of the Loan Certificates pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.14 of the Trust
Indenture (whether or not a notice of prepayment has been given pursuant to
Section 2.12 or 2.14 of the Trust Indenture) or (ii) at any time when the

Subsidiary's FAA Bill of Sale, the FAA Bill of Sale, the Lease (with the Lease
Supplement covering the Aircraft, the Trust Indenture and the Trust Agreement
and Indenture Supplement covering the Aircraft attached) and the Trust
Indenture (with the Trust Agreement and such Trust Agreement and Indenture
Supplement attached) pursuant to the Federal Aviation Act, the Lessee will
cause Crowe & Dunlevy, P.C., special counsel in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, to
deliver to each Participant, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the
Lessee an opinion as to the due registration of the Aircraft, and the due
recording of such instruments and the lack of filing of any intervening
documents with respect to the Aircraft.
SECTION 5. Postponement of Delivery Date. (a) In the event
that (i) the Original Loan Participant shall for any reason fail or refuse to
make the full amount of its Commitment for the Aircraft available to the Owner
Trustee in accordance with the terms of Section 2 hereof, or (ii) the Owner
Participant shall for any reason fail or refuse to make the full amount of its
Commitment for the Aircraft available to the Owner Trustee in accordance with
the terms of Section 2 hereof, the Owner Trustee will forthwith give each party
hereto telex, facsimile or telegraphic notice of such default and the Delivery
Date for the Aircraft will be postponed up to the fifth succeeding Business Day
as the Lessee may direct (and the term "Delivery Date" as used in this
Agreement shall thereafter mean such postponed "Delivery Date"); provided that
such postponed Delivery Date shall not be a date later than August 31, 1992.
During such period, the Lessee shall have the right to find another leasing or
financial institution to be substituted for the non-participating Original Loan
Participant or Owner Participant, as the case may be; provided that in either
event the institution so substituted shall sign and deliver an agreement, in
form and substance satisfactory to the Lessee, by which it will assume the
balance of the Commitment of the non-participating Original Loan Participant or
Owner Participant, as the case may be. Upon the execution and delivery of such
agreement, the institution so substituted shall become the Original Loan
Participant or the Owner Participant, as the case may be, and shall be deemed
substituted for the non-participating Participant, for all purposes of this
Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Trust
19
AF-3
23
Indenture, and the Lease and to have assumed all obligations of the
non-participating Participant thereunder which accrue after the date of
execution and delivery. No action by the Lessee under this Section 5(a) shall
be deemed to constitute a waiver or release of any right which the Lessee may
have against the defaulting Participant. In the event that the Lessee cannot
find another institution to be substituted for the non-participating
Participant within such five Business Day period, then, in such event (i) the
Owner Trustee shall not accept delivery of the Aircraft and (ii) this
Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Trust Indenture, the Lease and the Purchase
Agreement Assignment and the other Operative Documents shall terminate and be
of no further force or effect except as expressly provided herein or therein.
(b) A scheduled Delivery Date for the Aircraft may be
postponed from time to time for any reason (but no later than August 31, 1992),
other than pursuant to Section 5(a) hereof, if the Lessee gives the Owner
Participant, the Original Loan Participant, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner
Trustee telex, telegraphic, facsimile or telephonic (confirmed in writing)
notice of such postponement and notice of the date to which such Delivery Date
has been postponed, such notice of postponement to be received by each party no
later than 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on the originally scheduled Delivery
Date (and the term "Delivery Date" as used in this Agreement shall thereafter
mean such postponed "Delivery Date").
(c) In the event of any postponement of the Delivery Date
pursuant to Section 5(a) or 5(b) hereof, or if on an originally scheduled
Delivery Date not postponed as above provided the Aircraft is not delivered to
the Lessor by 3:00 P.M. or, if delivered, is not accepted by the Owner Trustee
for any reason, the Owner Trustee will return by 4:00 P.M. on such date, any
funds which it shall have received from any Participant as its Commitment for
the Aircraft, absent joint instruction from the Lessee and such Participant to
retain funds until the specified date of postponement established under Section
5(a) or 5(b).
(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5, no
Participant shall be under any obligation to make its Commitment available
beyond 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on August 31, 1992.

SECTION 6. Extent of Interest of Loan Participants. A Loan
Participant shall have no further interest in, or other right with respect to,
the Indenture Estate when and if the principal of and interest on all
Certificates held by such Loan Participant and all other sums payable to such
Loan Participant hereunder, under the Trust Indenture and under such
Certificates shall have been paid in full. By acceptance of a Certificate,
each Loan Participant agrees that it will look solely to the income and
proceeds from the Indenture Estate to the extent available for distribution to
such Loan Participant as provided in Section 2.05 of the Trust Indenture and
that neither the Owner Participant nor the Owner Trustee shall be personally
liable to such Loan Participant for any amounts payable under the Certificates,
the Trust Indenture or hereunder, except as expressly provided in the Operative
Documents.

similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and by

at the end of each such fiscal year and the consolidated results of
their operations and cash flows for each such fiscal year in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a
consistent basis (except as may be noted in such financial

adverse change in such consolidated financial position of the Lessee

OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR TO EXCUSE THE PERFORMANCE BY THE LESSEE OF ITS
OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER OPERATIVE DOCUMENT OR THE BILLS OF
SALE.

storage as provided in Section 5(d) of the Lease constitutes the date
of return of the Aircraft under the Lease), and (y) the expiration or
earlier termination of the Lease under circumstances not requiring the
return of the Aircraft unless and to the extent such Claim is
attributable to acts occurring in connection with the exercise of
remedies pursuant to Section 15 of the Lease following the occurrence
and continuance of an Event of Default thereunder;
(ii) Any Claim to the extent attributable to a Tax or a Loss,
whether or not Lessee is required to indemnify therefor under Section

reasonable out-of-pocket costs, disbursements and expenses incurred
with respect to Taxes for which the Lessee is required to indemnify
under Section 7(c) of this Participation Agreement;

willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Indemnitee
Group (other than any gross negligence or willful misconduct imputed
as a matter of law to such Indemnitee solely by reason of its status
as a party to any of the Operative Documents);
(iv) Any Claim to the extent caused by the noncompliance by such
Indemnitee or any of its Related Indemnitee Group with any of the
terms of, or any misrepresentation by such Indemnitee or any of its
Related Indemnitee Group contained in, this Participation Agreement or
any other Operative Document to
27
AF-3
31
which such Indemnitee or any of its Related Indemnitee Group is a

the Trust Agreement, or any similar security, other than a transfer by
such Indemnitee of its interests in the Aircraft pursuant to Section
9, 10, 15 or 20 of the Lease;
(vii) Any Claim to the extent caused by a failure on the part of
the Owner Trustee to distribute in accordance with the Trust Agreement
any amounts received and distributable by it thereunder;
(viii) Any Claim (other than to the extent any such Claim is
brought against the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee and the
Related Indemnitee Group of such Indemnitee) to the extent caused by a
failure on the part of the Indenture Trustee to distribute in
accordance with the Trust Indenture any amounts received and
distributable by it thereunder;
(ix) Any Claim to the extent caused by the authorization or
giving or withholding by such Indemnitee of any future amendments,
supplements, waivers or consents with respect to any of this
Participation Agreement and the other Operative Documents, other than
such as have been requested by or consented to by the Lessee, or such
that occur as a result of an Event of Default that shall have occurred
and is continuing, or such as are required or contemplated by (and, if
contemplated by, in compliance with) the provisions of the Operative
Documents in order to give effect thereto;
(x) Any Claim to the extent caused by an Indenture Default that
does not also constitute an Event of Default under the Lease;
28
AF-3
32
(xi) Any Claim that would not have arisen but for the appointment
of a successor or an additional Owner Trustee without the consent of
the Lessee;
(xii) Any Claim to the extent caused by the failure of a Person
other than the Lessee to pay a cost, fee or expense payable by such
Person in accordance with Section 9(a), 9(b), 9(c), 9(f), 9(g), 9(j),
16(b), 16(c), or 18(b) hereof, or Section 5(d), 5(f), 9, 10, 11 or 25
of the Lease;
(xiii) Any Claim that is an ordinary and usual operating or
overhead expense other than to the extent caused by (a) the occurrence
of an Event of Default or an Event of Loss or (b) circumstances beyond
the scope of routine portfolio administration (such routine portfolio
administration to be deemed to include tax preparation and other
normally occurring administrative tasks but shall not include any
administrative obligations of the Lessee under the Operative Documents
performed by any Indemnitee);
(xiv) Any Claim to the extent that such Claim relates to amounts
payable by the Owner Trustee to the Indenture Trustee in respect of
the Break Amount, if any, payable with respect to the Certificates as
a result of (x) any prepayment of the Certificates or purchase of the
Certificates pursuant to Section 2.13 of the Trust Indenture as a
result of an Indenture Default that does not also constitute an Event
of Default or (y) an Indenture Default that does not also constitute
an Event of Default; and
(xv) Any Claim made by American Telephone and Telegraph Company,
AT&T Capital Corporation or any Affiliate of either thereof (other
than the Owner Participant), to the extent that such Claim is based on
losses suffered by or any decline in the net worth of the Owner
Participant (but only to the extent that any such losses or decline in
net worth are caused by events for which the Owner Participant is not
indemnifiable by the Lessee under the Operative Documents).
A limitation on the Claims of one Indemnitee under this Section 7(b)(4) shall
not provide a basis for limiting any Claim of any other Indemnitee.
29
AF-3
33
(5) Insured Claims. In the case of any Claim indemnified by
the Lessee hereunder which is covered by a policy of insurance maintained by
the Lessee pursuant to Section 11 of the Lease, each Indemnitee agrees to
cooperate, at the Lessee's expense, with the insurers in the exercise of their
rights to investigate, defend or compromise such Claim as may be required to
retain the benefits of such insurance with respect to such Claim.
(6) Claims Procedure. An Indemnitee shall promptly notify
the Lessee of any Claim as to which indemnification is sought provided that the
failure to provide such prompt notice shall not release the Lessee from any of
its obligations to indemnify hereunder. Any amount payable to any Indemnitee
pursuant to this Section 7(b) shall be paid within thirty days after receipt of
a written demand therefor from such Indemnitee accompanied by a written
statement describing in reasonable detail the Claims which are the subject of
and basis for such indemnity and the computation of the amount so payable.
Subject to clause (x) of the final sentence of this Section 7(b)(6) and to the
rights of insurers under policies of insurance maintained pursuant to Section
11 of the Lease, so long as no Event of Default under Section 14(f), 14(g),
14(h) or 14(i) of the Lease shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lessee
(at its sole cost and expense) shall have the right to investigate, and the
right in its sole discretion to defend or compromise, any Claim for which
indemnification is sought under this Section 7(b), and the Indemnitee shall
cooperate, at the Lessee's expense, with all reasonable requests of the Lessee
in connection therewith; provided, however, that so long as an Event of Default
under Section 14(a) of the Lease has occurred and is continuing, such
Indemnitee shall have the right, along with the concomitant right of the
Lessee, to investigate, defend or compromise any such Claim. The Lessee will
provide the Indemnitee with such information not within the control of such
Indemnitee, as is in the Lessee's control or as reasonably available to the
Lessee, which such Indemnitee may reasonably request and shall otherwise
cooperate with such Indemnitee so as to enable such Indemnitee to fulfill its
obligations under this Section 7(b)(6). Where the Lessee or the insurers under
a policy of insurance maintained by the Lessee undertake the defense of an
Indemnitee with respect to a Claim, and so 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 shall be indem-
30
AF-3
34
nified hereunder unless such fees or expenses were incurred at the request of
the Lessee or such insurers; provided, however, that if (i) in the written
opinion of counsel to 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 any such separate counsel shall be borne by the Lessee.
Subject to the requirements of any policy of insurance, an Indemnitee may
participate at its own expense in any judicial proceeding controlled by the
Lessee pursuant to the preceding provisions; provided that such party's
participation does not, in the reasonable opinion of the independent counsel
appointed by the Lessee or its insurers to conduct such proceedings,
significantly interfere with such control; and such participation shall not
constitute a waiver of the indemnification provided in this Section 7(b).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (w) the Lessee shall
not under any circumstances be liable for the fees and expenses of more than
one counsel for each of (i) the Owner Participant and the Owner Trustee (and
their respective successors and permitted assigns, agents and servants and
other members of their respective Related Indemnitee Groups) and (ii) the Loan
Participants and the Indenture Trustee (and their respective successors and
permitted assigns, agents and servants) except in the case specified in the
proviso to the fourth sentence of this paragraph (6) and (x) the Lessee shall
not be entitled to defend or compromise any Claim if such proceedings will
involve a material risk of the sale, forfeiture or loss of, or the creation of
any Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) or the Airframe, any Engine or any part
of any thereof, or the Indenture Estate or the Trust Estate or any part of any
thereof, unless the Lessee shall have provided security for Lessee's
obligations under this Section 7(b) with respect to such Claim reasonably
satisfactory to the relevant Indemnitees in respect to such risk.
(7) Subrogation. To the extent that a Claim indemnified by
the Lessee under this Section 7(b) is in fact paid in full by the Lessee and/or
an insurer under a policy of insurance maintained by the Lessee pursuant to
Section 11 of the Lease, the Lessee and/or such insurer, as the case may be,
shall be subrogated to the rights and
31
AF-3
35
remedies of the Indemnitee on whose behalf such Claim was paid (other than
rights of such Indemnitee under insurance policies maintained at its own
expense) with respect to the transaction or event giving rise to such Claim,
except that the Lessee shall not be subrogated to any rights or remedies that
the Owner Trustee may have against the Owner Participant under Section 7.01 of
the Trust Agreement or that the Indenture Trustee may have against the Owner
Trustee under Section 7.01 of the Trust Indenture. So long as no Event of
Default (or event that with lapse of time would constitute an Event of Default
under Section 14(a), 14(g), 14(h) or 14(i) of the Lease) shall have occurred
and be continuing, should an Indemnitee receive any refund, in whole or in
part, with respect to any Claim paid by the Lessee hereunder, it shall promptly
pay the amount refunded (but not an amount in excess of the amount the Lessee
or any of its insurers has paid in respect of such Claim) over to the Lessee.
Moreover, if, by reason of any Claim that the Lessee has paid or indemnified
against pursuant to this Section 7(b), an Indemnitee realizes an actual
reduction in any Taxes that was not previously taken into account in computing
a payment by the Lessee pursuant to this Section 7(b), then such Indemnitee
shall promptly pay to the Lessee an amount equal to the actual net reduction in
Taxes realized by such Indemnitee attributable thereto plus the actual
reduction in Taxes realized by such Indemnitee as a result of any payment to
the Lessee pursuant to this sentence. Each Indemnitee shall in good faith use
reasonable diligence in filing its tax returns and in dealing with taxing
authorities to seek and claim any tax benefits that would result in such net
reductions in Taxes.
(8) No Guaranty; Increased Costs. Nothing set forth in this
Section 7(b) shall constitute a guarantee by the Lessee that the Aircraft shall
have any particular useful life or residual value or a guarantee to the
Indenture Trustee or the Loan Participants that the Certificates will be paid.
Each of the Loan Participants agrees that the provisions of Section 2.18 of the
Trust Indenture constitute its sole remedy for the reimbursement of Increased
Costs described therein and that nothing in this Section 7(b) shall constitute
an indemnity for any Increased Cost or any cost or loss in the nature of an
Increased Cost.
(c) General Tax Indemnity. (1) Indemnity. Except as
provided in Section 7(c)(2) hereof, the Lessee
32
AF-3
36
shall pay or indemnify and hold harmless on an After-Tax Basis each Tax
Indemnitee from and against any and all fees (including without limitation
license, documentation and registration fees) and all taxes, whether now
existing or hereafter adopted (including, without limitation, income, gross
receipts, sales, use, value-added, property (tangible and intangible), excise
and stamp taxes), levies, imposts, duties, charges or withholdings, together
with any penalties, fines or interest thereon or other additions thereto
(hereinafter collectively called "Taxes" and individually called a "Tax")
imposed against or payable by any Tax Indemnitee (including amounts so payable
by any such Tax Indemnitee solely as withholding agent), the Lessee, any
sublessee, sub-sublessee or other user of the Aircraft, any Engine, or any
Part, or any Affiliate of any such user, or imposed against the Aircraft, any
Engine or any Part, by any Federal, state or local government or other taxing
authority in the United States or by any foreign government or by any territory
or possession of the United States or by any international authority or by any
political subdivision or taxing authority of any of the foregoing (hereinafter,
a "Taxing Authority") in connection with or relating to (a) the construction,
mortgaging, financing, refinancing, purchase, acquisition, acceptance,
rejection, delivery, nondelivery, transport, location, ownership, control,
insurance, registration, reregistration, deregistration, assembly, possession,
repossession, operation, use, condition, maintenance, repair, sale, return,
abandonment, replacement, preparation, installation, storage, redelivery,
manufacture, leasing, subleasing, modification, rebuilding, importation,
transfer of title, transfer of registration, exportation or other application
or disposition of, the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part or any interest in any
thereof, (b) payments of Rent or the receipts, income or earnings arising
therefrom or received with respect to the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part or
any interest in any thereof or payable pursuant to the Lease, (c) any amount
paid or payable pursuant to any Operative Document, (d) the Aircraft, any
Engine or any Part or any interest in any thereof or the applicability of the
Lease to the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part or any interest in any thereof,
(e) any or all of the Operative Documents, any or all of the Certificates or
any interest in any or all thereof, or the offering, registration,
reregistration, issuance, acquisition, assumption, modification, reissuance,
refinancing or refunding of any or all thereof, and any other documents
contemplated hereby or thereby and
33
AF-3
37
amendments and supplements hereto and thereto, (f) the payment of the principal
of, or interest or premium on, or other amounts payable with respect to, any or
all of the Certificates, whether as originally issued or pursuant to any
refinancing, refunding, assumption, modification or reissuance, or any other
obligation evidencing any loan in replacement of the loan evidenced by any or
all of the Certificates, (g) any change in the Owner Trustee or the situs of
the Trust Estate made pursuant to Section 9(d) hereof, (h) the property, or the
income, earnings, receipts or other proceeds received with respect to the
property, held by the Indenture Trustee under the Trust Indenture or (i)
otherwise with respect to or in connection with the transactions contemplated
by the Operative Documents.

AF-3
38

combination of the preceding clauses (w), (x) and (y);
(iv) Taxes imposed on a Tax Indemnitee on or with respect to any
transfer (other than any transfer that occurs (a) as a result of an
Event of Default that has occurred and is continuing, (b) as a result
of the substitution, replacement, modification, pooling or improvement
of the Aircraft or any part thereof or interest therein, any Engine or

as a result of the pledge by the Owner Trustee of the Indenture Estate
pursuant to the Indenture) (x) by a Tax Indemnitee of any interest in

(viii) Taxes attributable to the Aircraft or any Engine that are
imposed with respect to any period after the earlier of (x) the return
of the Aircraft (or such Engine) under the Lease (it being understood
that the date of the placement of the Aircraft in storage as provided
in Section 5(d) of the Lease constitutes the date of return of the
Aircraft and Engines under the Lease) and (y) the expiration or
earlier termination of the Lease under circumstances not requiring the
return of the Aircraft; provided that the exclusion set forth in this
subparagraph (viii) shall not apply to Taxes to the extent such Taxes
relate to events or conditions occurring or matters arising prior to
or simultaneously with such time;
(ix) Taxes that would not have been imposed but for (A) in the
case of Taxes imposed on or with respect to the Owner Trustee, the
Trust Estate, the Owner Participant or any related Tax Indemnitee with
36
AF-3
40
respect to any of the foregoing, the existence of any Lessor's Liens,
(B) in the case of Taxes imposed on or with respect to any Tax
Indemnitee (other than Wilmington Trust Company or NationsBank of
Georgia, National Association, their respective successors and assigns
(including, without limitation, each and any Person who is at any time
a replacement Owner Trustee or Indenture Trustee), their respective
officers, directors, servants and agents and their respective
Affiliates), any act or omission of such Tax Indemnitee or any Tax
Indemnitee related to such Tax Indemnitee that is in violation of any
of the terms of the Operative Documents, (C) in the case of Taxes

of such Tax Indemnitee or any Tax Indemnitee related to such Tax
Indemnitee that constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct, or
the inaccuracy of any representation, warranty or covenant by such Tax
Indemnitee or such related Tax Indemnitee, but only if, in any such
case described in the immediately preceding clause (B) or (C), such
act, omission or inaccuracy is not a result in whole or in part of (I)
any act or omission of the Lessee or any sublessee or Person (other
than a Tax Indemnitee) that is a user of the Aircraft or any Engine or
any Affiliate of any thereof or (II) the breach or inaccuracy of any
representation, warranty or covenant of the Lessee or any Affiliate,
or (D) in the case of Taxes imposed on or with respect to the

related Tax Indemnitee with respect to any of the foregoing, the
existence of any Loan Participant Lien;
(x) Taxes imposed on any Tax Indemnitee to the extent such Taxes

Estate (other than a change at the Lessee's request or a change that
is consented to by the Lessee in writing, which consent shall not
unreasonably be withheld and the request for which shall have
specified this subparagraph (x)) or (B) as a result of the
unreasonable failure of the Owner Participant to comply or the gross
negligence of the Owner Trustee in complying with the Lessee's request
pursuant to Section 9(d) hereof to move the situs of the Trust Estate
to another jurisdiction;
37
AF-3
41
(xi) Taxes imposed on a Tax Indemnitee that would not have been
imposed upon such Tax Indemnitee but for any failure of such Tax
Indemnitee or any related Tax Indemnitee to comply with (x)
certification, information, documentation, reporting or other similar
requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or
connection with the jurisdiction imposing such Taxes, if such Tax
Indemnitee's or any related Tax Indemnitee's compliance is reasonably
within its control, can be accomplished without material unindemnified
cost or risk and is required by statute or by regulation of the
jurisdiction imposing such Taxes as a precondition to relief or
exemption from such Taxes and the Tax Indemnitee or such related Tax
Indemnitee was eligible for such relief or exemption or (y) any other
certification, information, documentation, reporting or other similar
requirements under the Tax laws or regulations of the jurisdiction
imposing such Taxes that would establish entitlement to otherwise
applicable relief or exemption from such Taxes for which such Tax
Indemnitee is eligible and that are reasonably within such Tax
Indemnitee's ability to provide in a timely fashion and can be
accomplished without material unindemnified cost or risk, provided
that the exclusion set forth in this subparagraph (xi) shall not apply
if such failure to comply was due to a failure of the Lessee (A)
timely to notify such Tax Indemnitee of such requirement or (B) to
provide reasonable assistance in complying with such requirement or,
in the case of the Owner Participant, if such failure was the result
of the Owner Trustee's negligence or the Owner Trustee's actions or
failure to act in accordance with instructions of the Owner
Participant;
(xii) Taxes imposed on any Tax Indemnitee in the nature of any
intangible or similar tax upon or with respect to the value of the
interest of the Owner Participant in the Trust Estate imposed by any
government or taxing authority in which the Owner Participant is
subject to tax without regard to the ownership or lease of the
Aircraft;
(xiii) Taxes that would not have been imposed but for an amendment
to any Operative Documents not consented to by the Lessee in writing
(other than any
38
AF-3
42
amendment that occurs after an Event of Default has occurred and while
it is continuing);
(xiv) Taxes imposed on the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee or
the Trust Estate by the United States or by any state or local
government or taxing authority in the United States (including any
territory or possession thereof) by reason of the trust described in
the Trust Agreement being taxed in the same manner as a corporation;
(xv) Taxes imposed on any Loan Participant that are on, based on
or measured by gross or net income or gross or net receipts of such
Loan Participant or any related Tax Indemnitee (including any minimum
Taxes and any Taxes on or measured by any items of tax preference) or
that are franchise Taxes, Taxes on doing business or Taxes on, based
on or measured by capital or net worth of such Loan Participant or any
related Tax Indemnitee by (x) the Federal government of the United
States or (y) any state or local government or taxing authority in the
United States or any foreign government or any territory or possession
of the United States or any international authority or any political
subdivision or taxing authority of any of the foregoing except to the
extent that such Taxes would have been due had the use or operation of
the Aircraft in the jurisdiction imposing such Taxes been the sole
connection between the jurisdiction imposing such Taxes and such Loan
Participant (for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this subparagraph
(xv) shall affect the obligation of the Lessee to indemnify on an
After-Tax Basis), provided that there shall not be excluded under
clause (x) or (y) of this subparagraph (xv) Taxes to the extent
imposed by reason of such Loan Participant being treated as having a
taxable exchange as a result of the assumption by the Lessee of the
rights and obligations of the Owner Trustee under the Indenture and
the Certificates pursuant to Section 2.16 of the Indenture; and
(xvi) Taxes imposed on any Loan Participant in the nature of any
intangible or similar tax upon or with respect to the value of the
interest of such Loan Participant in any Certificate or the loan
evidenced thereby.

(3) Tax Benefit Payback. If, by reason of the payment or
accrual of any Taxes indemnified hereunder, a Tax Indemnitee realizes an actual
reduction in any Taxes, which reduction in Taxes was not taken into account in
calculating any indemnity payments made by the Lessee hereunder, then such Tax
Indemnitee shall promptly pay to the Lessee an amount equal to such actual
reduction in Taxes, if any, plus the actual reduction in Taxes realized by such
Tax Indemnitee or any related Tax Indemnitee as the result of any payment made
by such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this sentence. Each Tax Indemnitee shall in
good faith use diligence in filing its tax returns and in dealing with Taxing
Authorities to seek and claim any tax benefit that would result in any such
reduction in Taxes or any refund of any Taxes payable or indemnifiable by the
Lessee hereunder. Any Taxes that are imposed on any Tax Indemnitee as a result
of the disallowance or reduction of any reduction in Taxes referred to in the
second preceding sentence as to which (and to the extent) such Tax Indemnitee
has made any payment to the Lessee required hereby shall be treated as a Tax
for which the Lessee is obligated to indemnify such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to
the provisions of this Section 7(c) without regard to the exclusions set forth
in Section 7(c)(2). For the purposes of this Section 7(c)(3), items of foreign
Tax of any Tax Indemnitee (other than a Loan Participant) shall be deemed to be
utilized by such Tax Indemnitee as credits or deductions in any taxable year in
accordance with the following:
(i) First, all available foreign Taxes other than those arising
out of leveraged lease transactions; and
(ii) Second, foreign Taxes arising from leveraged lease
transactions for which such Tax Indemnitee was not indemnified or held
harmless by anyone; and
(iii) Third, all available foreign Taxes for which such Tax
Indemnitee was indemnified or held harmless by the Lessee and all
other available foreign Taxes indemnified under any other leveraged
lease transactions (other than those arising from any transaction in
which there is an express agreement that such Taxes shall be utilized
last), on a pari passu basis; and
40
AF-3
44
(iv) Fourth, any remaining foreign Taxes arising from any
transaction in which there is an express agreement that such Taxes
shall be utilized after such Taxes described above.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7(c)(3) to the contrary, but without
limitation of Section 7(c)(10), in the case of each Tax Indemnitee that is a
Loan Participant all determinations as to any tax credits, offsets, deductions
or other tax benefits resulting from the payment or accrual of Taxes
indemnified hereunder shall be made by such Loan Participant in its sole
control.
(4) Contests. If a written claim shall be made against any
Tax Indemnitee for any Tax for which the Lessee is obligated pursuant to this
Section 7(c), such Tax Indemnitee shall notify the Lessee in writing promptly
of such claim, provided that the Lessee shall not be relieved of its
obligations hereunder by reason of a failure by the Tax Indemnitee to give such
notice unless such failure materially interferes with or prevents the Lessee
from exercising its contest rights hereunder. If the Lessee shall so request
in writing within 30 days after receipt of such notice, such Tax Indemnitee
shall in good faith at the Lessee's expense contest the imposition of such Tax
(including taking an appeal of any adverse judicial decision) by (a) resisting
payment of such Tax, (b) paying such Tax under protest or (c) paying such Tax
and seeking a refund or other repayment thereof, provided that, at such Tax
Indemnitee's option, such contest shall be conducted by the Lessee in the name
of such Tax Indemnitee or, if permitted by law, in the name of the Lessee, and
that in no event shall such Tax Indemnitee be required to contest, or the
Lessee permitted to contest in the name of such Tax Indemnitee or the Lessee,
the imposition of any Tax for which the Lessee is obligated pursuant to this
Section 7(c) unless (v) the Lessee shall have delivered a written opinion of
its internal counsel or outside counsel to the effect that there is a
reasonable basis (consistent with Formal Opinion 85-352 of the American Bar
Association) for contesting such claim, (w) if an Event of Default shall have
occurred or be continuing, the Lessee shall have provided security for its
obligations hereunder reasonably satisfactory to the Tax Indemnitee, (x) the
Lessee shall have agreed to pay such Tax Indemnitee on demand all reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses that such Tax Indemnitee may incur in
connection with contesting such claim (including, without limitation, all
41
AF-3
45
reasonable legal and accounting fees and disbursements), (y) the action to be
taken will not result in any material danger of sale, forfeiture or loss of the
Aircraft, Airframe, any Engine or any material Part or any interest in any
thereof and (z) if such contest shall be conducted in a manner requiring the
payment of the claim, the Lessee shall pay such claim or shall advance to the
Tax Indemnitee on an interest-free basis and with no additional net after-tax
cost to the Tax Indemnitee sufficient funds to pay the claim. Except as
otherwise provided herein, the contest shall be conducted in the manner
determined by the Lessee unless it involves issues with respect to which the
Lessee would not be required to indemnify such Tax Indemnitee hereunder which
can not be severed by reasonable efforts of such Tax Indemnitee from all issues
with respect to which the Lessee would be liable hereunder. If the contest
involves issues with respect to which the Lessee would not be required to
indemnify such Tax Indemnitee hereunder that can not be severed by reasonable
efforts of such Tax Indemnitee from all issues with respect to which the Lessee
would be liable hereunder, such Tax Indemnitee may in its sole discretion
select the forum for such contest and determine the manner in which such
contest shall be conducted, provided that such Tax Indemnitee shall afford the
Lessee and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to discuss with such Tax
Indemnitee the Lessee's interests with respect to such contest. No contest of
any issue with respect to which the Lessee would be required to indemnify
hereunder shall be settled without the prior written consent of the Lessee
unless the Tax Indemnitee waives (by written notice to the Lessee) the payment
by the Lessee of any amount that might otherwise be payable by the Lessee under
this Section 7(c) in respect of such issue and any related issue the contest of
which is effectively foreclosed by the settlement of such issue, including any
payment arising from such issue in subsequent years or which arises by reason
of the fact that such issue is of a continuing nature, and promptly pays to the
Lessee any amount previously paid or advanced by the Lessee with respect to
such issue or the contest of such issue, provided that if there has been an
adverse judicial decision with respect to such issue or related issue the Tax
Indemnitee, in determining whether it will terminate the contest of such issue,
shall afford the Lessee and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to discuss
with such Tax Indemnitee the Lessee's interests with respect to such contest.
If any Tax Indemnitee shall obtain a refund of all or any part of any Tax paid
by the
42
AF-3
46
Lessee or with funds provided by the Lessee, such Tax Indemnitee shall pay the
Lessee, net of any payments theretofore due to such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to
this Section 7(c) but unpaid and any other payments theretofore due to such Tax
Indemnitee under any of the Operative Documents but unpaid, an amount equal to
the amount of such refund, including interest received attributable thereto,
reduced by any Taxes incurred by such Tax Indemnitee or a related Tax
Indemnitee by reason of the receipt or accrual of such refund and interest, and
increased by any tax benefit realized by such Tax Indemnitee or a related Tax
Indemnitee as a result of any payment by such Tax Indemnitee made pursuant to
this sentence.
(5) Reports. If any report, return or statement is required
to be filed with respect to any Tax that is a property tax (or a tax in the
nature of a property tax) subject to indemnification under this Section 7(c),
the Lessee shall timely file the same (except for any such report, return or
statement which the Tax Indemnitee has notified the Lessee that the Tax
Indemnitee intends to file, provided that such Tax Indemnitee shall have
furnished the Lessee, at the Lessee's request and expense, with such
information, not within the control of the Lessee, as is in such Tax
Indemnitee's control and is reasonably available to such Tax Indemnitee and
reasonably necessary to file such returns. The Lessee shall either file such
report, return or statement so as to show the ownership of the Aircraft in the
Owner Trustee and send a copy of such report, return or statement to the Tax
Indemnitee, and the Owner Trustee if the Tax Indemnitee is not the Owner
Trustee, or, where the Lessee is not permitted to so file, shall notify the Tax
Indemnitee of such requirement and prepare and deliver such report, return or
statement to the Tax Indemnitee in a manner satisfactory to such Tax Indemnitee
within a reasonable time prior to the time such report, return or statement is
to be filed. The Lessee shall also furnish promptly upon written request such
data in its possession or otherwise reasonably available to it as any Tax
Indemnitee may reasonably request to enable such Tax Indemnitee to comply with
the requirements of any Taxing Authority. The Lessee shall hold each Tax
Indemnitee harmless from and against the penalties, additions to tax and fines
arising from any insufficiency or inaccuracy in any such report, return or
statement or fairly attributable to the inaccuracy of any data supplied to any
Tax Indemnitee by the Lessee, without regard to whether such penalties,
additions to tax and
43
AF-3
47
fines are otherwise indemnifiable under this Section 7(c). If any report,
return or statement is required to be filed with respect to any Tax (other than
a property tax or a tax in the nature of a property tax) subject to
indemnification under this Section 7(c), the Lessee will promptly notify the
appropriate Tax Indemnitee upon the Lessee's obtaining actual knowledge of such
requirement. If the Lessee receives written notice from a Taxing Authority of
a Tax that is imposed upon a Tax Indemnitee but not indemnified against by the
Lessee hereunder, the Lessee will forward a copy of such notice to such Tax
Indemnitee.
(6) Payment. The Lessee shall pay any Tax for which it is
liable pursuant to this Section 7(c), directly to the appropriate taxing
authority or upon demand of a Tax Indemnitee to such Tax Indemnitee, within 30
Business Days of a written demand, but in no event prior to the date such Tax
is due (including all extensions), or, in the case of Taxes which are being
contested, the time such contest is finally resolved. Any such demand shall
specify in reasonable detail the calculation to the payment and the facts upon
which the right to payment is based. Each Tax Indemnitee shall promptly
forward to the Lessee any notice, bill or advice received by it concerning any
Tax which the Lessee may be required to indemnify against hereunder. Upon the
written request of an appropriate Tax Indemnitee, the Lessee shall furnish such
Tax Indemnitee the original or a certified copy of a receipt (if any is
available to the Lessee) for the Lessee's payment of any Tax that is subject to
indemnification pursuant to this Section 7(c), or such other evidence of
payment of such Tax as is acceptable to such Tax Indemnitee (and available to
the Lessee).
(7) Application of Payments During Existence of Event of
Default. Any amount payable to the Lessee pursuant to the terms of this
Section 7(c) shall not be paid to the Lessee if at the time such payment would
otherwise be made an Event of Default or event that with lapse of time would
constitute an Event of Default under Section 14(a), 14(g), 14(h) or 14(i) of
the Lease shall have occurred and be continuing but shall be held by the Tax
Indemnitee as security for the obligations of the Lessee under the Operative
Documents and, if the Lessor declares the Lease to be in default pursuant to
Section 15 thereof (or the Lease is deemed to be declared in default), applied
against the Lessee's obligations under the Operative Docu-
44
AF-3
48
ments as and when due, provided that no such amount shall be held as security
for more than 180 days unless the Lessor or the Indenture Trustee shall be
precluded by law or court order from exercising remedies under Section 15 of
the Lease. At such time as there shall not be continuing any such Event of
Default or other event or such 180-day period shall have elapsed, such amount
shall be paid to the Lessee to the extent not previously applied in accordance
with the preceding sentence.
(8) Forms, Etc. Each Tax Indemnitee agrees to furnish from
time to time to the Lessee or to such other person as the Lessee may designate,
at the Lessee's request in writing and expense, such duly executed and properly
completed forms as may be necessary or appropriate in order to claim any
reduction of or exemption from any withholding or other Tax imposed by any
Taxing Authority which the Lessee may be required to indemnify against
hereunder, if (x) such reduction or exemption is available to such Tax
Indemnitee and (y) the Lessee has provided such Tax Indemnitee with any
information necessary to complete such form not otherwise reasonably available
to such Tax Indemnitee.
(9) Non-Parties. If a Tax Indemnitee is not a party to this
Agreement, the Lessee may require the Tax Indemnitee to agree in writing, in a
form reasonably acceptable to the Lessee, to the terms of this Section 7(c)
prior to making any payment to such Tax Indemnitee under this Section 7(c).
(10) Verification. At the Lessee's request, the amount of any
indemnity payment by the Lessee pursuant to this Section 7 or any payment by a
Tax Indemnitee to the Lessee pursuant to this Section 7 shall be verified and
certified by either the independent public accounting firm that audits the
financial statements of such Tax Indemnitee (provided that such firm shall have
its headquarters in the United States) or another independent public accounting
firm selected by such Tax Indemnitee and reasonably satisfactory to the Lessee,
provided that, in the case of any Loan Participant, the amount of any payment
by such Loan Participant to the Lessee pursuant to this Section 7 shall be
verified and certified by the independent public accounting firm that audits
the financial statements of such Loan Participant. The fee of such independent
public accounting firm shall be paid by the Lessee unless such verification
shall disclose an error in
45
AF-3
49
such Tax Indemnitee's favor exceeding 10% of the amount of such payment
determined by the Tax Indemnitee, in which case such fee shall be paid by such
Tax Indemnitee. The Lessee will have no right to examine the tax returns of
the Tax Indemnitee in connection with the verification procedure described in
this Section 7(c)(10); each Tax Indemnitee agrees to cooperate with the
independent public accounting firm performing the verification and to supply
such firm with all information reasonably necessary to permit it to accomplish
such verification, provided that the information provided to such firm by such
Tax Indemnitee shall be for its confidential use.

Indemnitee, the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee, the Trust Estate, such

(12) Subrogation. Upon payment of any Tax by the Lessee
pursuant to this Section 7(c) to or on behalf of a Tax Indemnitee, the Lessee,
without any further action, shall be subrogated (unless a court of competent
jurisdiction shall have entered a final judgment ordering the return of such
payment to the Lessee) to any claims that such Tax Indemnitee may have relating
thereto other than claims in respect of insurance policies maintained by such
Tax Indemnitee at its own expense. Such Tax Indemnitee shall give such further
reasonable assurances or agreements and cooperate with the Lessee to permit the
Lessee to pursue such claims; provided that the Lessee shall reimburse such Tax
Indemnitee for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs associated with such
assurances, agreements or cooperation.

applicable law, interest at the Overdue Rate shall be paid, on demand, on any
amount or indemnity not paid when due pursuant to this Section 7 until the same

amount in respect of which such interest is due.
(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 Trust Indenture, the Trust Agreement or any other document or instrument,
and the Person seeking indemnification from the Lessee pursuant to any

55
AF-3
59
In the event that the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and the agreements referred to herein are not consummated, the Lessee
shall bear and pay all costs, expenses and fees referred to above; provided
that (x) if the transaction fails to be consummated as a result of failure of
the Owner Participant to act in good faith in consummating the transactions, or
to fulfill its funding obligations or otherwise to comply with the terms hereof
or thereof, the Owner Participant shall bear and pay its own fees, costs and
expenses (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of its special

(b) The Owner Participant covenants that if (i) it ceases to
be a "citizen of the United States" within the meaning of Section 101(16) of
the Federal Aviation Act and (ii) either (A) the Aircraft shall or would

the current jurisdiction of registry of the Aircraft, as the case may be, and
the regulations then applicable thereunder, or (B) the Aircraft is registered
in a jurisdiction other than the United States in circumstances in which clause
(A) does not apply and the Lessee at any time proposes to register the Aircraft
within four months in any jurisdiction to which clause (A) would apply upon
such reregistration, then the Owner Participant at its own expense shall
promptly (and, in any event, within a period of 30 days) either transfer,
pursuant to Article VIII of the Trust Agreement and Section 16(c) hereof, such
of its right, title and interest in and to the Trust Agreement, the Trust
Estate, and this Agreement, or take such other action, as may be necessary to
prevent any deregistration of the Aircraft or to make possible its registration
in the United States. Each party hereto agrees to take such steps as the Owner
Participant shall reasonably request in order to assist the Owner Participant
in complying with its obligations under this Section 9(b). The Owner
Participant hereby agrees to indemnify the Lessee and the
56
AF-3
60
Indenture Trustee against any and all losses, liabilities and expenses incurred
by the Lessee or the Indenture Trustee to the extent that any such losses,
liabilities or expenses are caused by the Aircraft's so becoming ineligible or
ceasing to remain eligible for such registration.
(c) The Owner Trustee in its individual capacity covenants
that if at any time it shall cease to be a "citizen of the United States"
within the meaning of Section 101(16) of the Federal Aviation Act, it will
resign immediately as Owner Trustee (if and so long as such citizenship is
necessary under the Federal Aviation Act, or the law of the current
jurisdiction of the registry of the Aircraft, as the case may be, as in effect
at such time or, if it is not necessary, if and so long as the Owner Trustee's
citizenship (in its individual capacity) would have any adverse effect on the
Lessee). The Owner Trustee in its individual capacity hereby unconditionally
agrees with and for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement that the Owner
Trustee in its individual capacity will not directly or indirectly create,
incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lessor's Liens on or against any part of
the Trust Estate, the Indenture Estate or the Aircraft arising out of any act
or omission of or claim against the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity,
and the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity agrees that it will at its own
cost and expense promptly take such action as may be necessary to duly
discharge and satisfy in full (i) all Lessor's Liens attributable to the Owner
Trustee in its individual capacity and (ii) any other liens or encumbrances
attributable to the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity on any part of the
Trust Estate or the Indenture Estate which result from claims against the Owner
Trustee in its individual capacity not related to the ownership of the
Aircraft, the administration of the Trust Estate or the Indenture Estate or the
transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents. The Owner Trustee, in
its individual capacity, hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Lessee, the Indenture Trustee and each Participant from and against any loss,
cost or expense (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) which may be
suffered or incurred by any of them as a result of the failure of the Owner
Trustee to discharge and satisfy any such Lessor's Lien or other lien or
encumbrance.
(d) Each of the Owner Participant and the Owner Trustee (in
its individual capacity and as Owner Trustee) agrees with the Lessee that it
shall not take
57
AF-3
61
any action, or cause any action to be taken, which would amend, modify or
supplement any provision of the Trust Agreement in a manner adversely affecting
the Lessee without the prior written consent of the Lessee and (so long as the
Trust Indenture shall not have been discharged) the Indenture Trustee, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Owner Trustee confirms for the
benefit of the Lessee that it will comply with the provisions of Article IV of
the Trust Agreement. The Owner Participant agrees not to terminate or revoke
the trust created by the Trust Agreement without the prior written consent of
the Lessee and (so long as the Trust Indenture shall not have been discharged)
the Indenture Trustee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The
Owner Participant further agrees not to remove the institution acting as Owner
Trustee, and not to replace the institution acting as Owner Trustee in the
event that such institution resigns as Owner Trustee, unless the Owner
Participant shall have consulted in good faith with the Lessee prior to such
removal or replacement as to the identity, location and fee schedules of the
proposed successor trustee, provided that (i) the Owner Participant shall
retain the right, notwithstanding any such consultation, to act in its sole
discretion (provided that the Owner Participant shall not choose a replacement
Owner Trustee which, in the good faith opinion of the Lessee, may result in
additional liability to the Lessee pursuant to Section 7(c) hereof, except in
the case of a mandatory or voluntary resignation of the Owner Trustee where the
Lessee has not proposed an alternative Owner Trustee which is reasonably
satisfactory to the Owner Participant) and (ii) no such consultation shall be
required if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. So long
as no Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Owner Trustee and the
Owner Participant agree that no co-trustee or separate trustee shall be
appointed pursuant to Section 9.02 of the Trust Agreement without the Lessee's
prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. The Owner
Participant agrees that if, at any time, so long as no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Lessee certifies that the Lessee has, or in the
good faith opinion of the Lessee will, become obligated to pay an amount
pursuant to Section 7(c) hereof and the amount that has or will become payable
would be reduced or eliminated if the situs of the Trust Estate were changed
and if, as a consequence thereof, the Lessee should request that the situs of
the trust be moved to another state in the United States from the state in
which it is then located, the Owner Participant
58
AF-3
62
shall direct such change in situs of the Trust Estate as may be specified in
writing by the Lessee and the Owner Participant will take whatever action as
may be reasonably necessary to accomplish such change; provided that the Lessee
shall provide such additional indemnification for Taxes imposed by the
jurisdiction to which the Trust Estate is to be moved as the Owner Participant
may reasonably request. The Indenture Trustee shall execute such documents and
take such action as may be necessary to effect such change in the situs of the
Trust Estate; provided that the Lien created by the Indenture shall continue to
be perfected.
(e) [Intentionally omitted].
(f) The Owner Participant agrees that, in the event of the
termination of the Lease pursuant to Section 9 thereof, the Owner Participant
will pay any fees and commissions of any broker or finder appointed by the
Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant, or any fees and commissions payable to
the Lessee pursuant to such Section 9, in connection with the sale of the
Aircraft. In addition, the Owner Participant agrees to pay or cause to be paid
to the Owner Trustee such amounts as may be necessary to enable the Owner
Trustee to pay any amounts to the Lessee pursuant to Section 9 or 15 of the
Lease as a rebate of any Basic Rent theretofore paid under the Lease.
(g) Each Loan Participant hereby unconditionally agrees to
perform its respective obligations under the Trust Indenture (including,
without limitation, those contained in Sections 2.17 and 2.18 of the Trust
Indenture) as though such obligations were fully set forth herein.
(h) The Owner Trustee, in its capacity as Owner Trustee, will
not incur any indebtedness for money borrowed, or enter into any business or
other activity, except as contemplated hereby and by the other Operative
Documents.
(i) The Indenture Trustee in its individual capacity hereby
unconditionally agrees with and for the benefit of the parties to this
Agreement that the Indenture Trustee in its individual capacity or as Indenture
Trustee will not directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or suffer to
exist any Liens on or against any part of the Trust Estate, the Indenture
Estate or Aircraft
59
AF-3
63
arising out of any act or omission of or claim against the Indenture Trustee in
its individual capacity, and the Indenture Trustee in its individual capacity
agrees that it will at its own cost and expense promptly take such action as
may be necessary duly to discharge and satisfy in full (i) all such Liens
attributable to the Indenture Trustee in its individual capacity and (ii) any
other liens or encumbrances attributable to the Indenture Trustee in its
individual capacity on any part of the Trust Estate or the Indenture Estate
which result from claims against the Indenture Trustee in its individual
capacity not related to the administration of the Indenture Estate. The
Indenture Trustee hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Lessee, the
Owner Trustee and each Participant from and against any loss, cost or expense
(including reasonable legal fees and expenses) which may be suffered or
incurred by any of them as a result of the failure of the Indenture Trustee to
discharge and satisfy any such Lien or such other lien or encumbrance.
(j) The Owner Trustee agrees that any profit, income,
interest, dividend or gain realized upon the maturity, sale or other
disposition of any Permitted Investment made by the Indenture Trustee pursuant
to Section 3.07(b) of the Trust Indenture, and paid to the Lessee on behalf of
the Owner Trustee by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the terms of such
Section 3.07(b), shall be entirely for the account of, and the sole property
of, the Lessee who, for such purposes, shall not be deemed to be acting as
agent of the Owner Trustee, and the Lessee shall have no obligation to pay over
such income, interest, dividend or gain to the Owner Trustee.
(k) Each of the Indenture Trustee and each Loan Participant,
by its acceptance of a Certificate, hereby irrevocably agree, to the maximum
extent permitted by law, that, in any case in which any Person (other than the
Lessee alone) is the debtor or one of the debtors under the Bankruptcy Code,
each of the Indenture Trustee and each Loan Participant shall be deemed to have
made a timely election pursuant to Section 1111(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Bankruptcy
Code (or any substantively comparable provision which is the successor thereto)
as to the Indenture Estate (which is acknowledged and agreed not to include
Excepted Property).

(l) Each Loan Participant hereby unconditionally agrees with
and for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement that it will not directly
or indirectly create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Loan Participant
Liens attributable to it on or against any part of the Trust Estate, the
Indenture Estate or the Aircraft, and each Loan Participant agrees that it
will, at its own cost and expense, promptly take such action as may be
necessary duly to discharge and satisfy in full any such Lien attributable to
it; and each Loan Participant hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the Lessee,
the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Participant, and any subsequent holders of
Certificates or any subsequent Owner Participant from and against any loss,
cost, expense or damages (excluding consequential damages) which may be
suffered by any of them as a result of its failure to discharge and satisfy any
such Lien attributable to it.
(m) Each of the Owner Participant and the Owner Trustee
hereby agrees, for the benefit of the Lessee, to cooperate with the Lessee in
effecting any foreign registration of the Aircraft pursuant to Section 7(a)(i)
of the Lease; provided that prior to any such change in the country of registry
of the Aircraft (other than a change in the country of registry that results in
the registration of the Aircraft under the laws of the United States of
America), the Owner Participant and the Owner Trustee shall have received from
counsel to the Lessee reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Participant an
opinion to the effect that (i) the terms of any relevant sublease and the Lease
are legal, valid, binding and enforceable in such country to substantially the
same extent as such documents are at that time enforceable in the United
States, (ii) there is no statutory, regulatory or case law in such country
imposing tort liability on the owner of an aircraft not in possession thereof
under the laws of such country other than tort liability no more extensive or
onerous than that which might have been imposed on such an owner under the laws
of the United States or any state thereof (it being understood that, in the
event such opinion cannot be given in a form satisfactory to the Owner
Participant, such opinion shall be waived if insurance reasonably satisfactory
to the Owner Participant is provided by the Lessee to cover the risk of such
liability), (iii) such re-registration will not result in the imposition by
such country of any Taxes on the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant for
which the Lessee is not required to indemnify the Owner Participant or the
Owner Trustee, as the case may be (provided that in lieu of the opinion
referred to in this clause (iii) the Lessee may indemnify the Owner Participant
61
AF-3
65
or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, for any Taxes imposed by such country
in connection with or relating to the transactions contemplated by the
Operative Documents which would not have been imposed but for such
re-registration); (iv) there exist no possessory rights in favor of the Lessee
or any sublessee under the laws of such country which would, upon bankruptcy of
or other default by the Lessee or any sublessee, prevent the return of the
Aircraft to the Owner Trustee in accordance with and when permitted by the
terms of Sections 14 and 15(a) of the Lease upon the exercise by the Owner
Trustee of its remedies under Section 15(a) of the Lease; (v) it is not
necessary for the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee to qualify to do
business in such jurisdiction solely as a result of the proposed
re-registration; (vi) the laws of such country require fair compensation by the
government of such country for the loss of use of the Aircraft in the event of
the requisition by such government of the Aircraft (unless the Lessee shall
have provided contemporaneously with such re-registration insurance reasonably
satisfactory to the Lessor and the Owner Participant covering the risk of
requisition of use of the Aircraft by the government of such country so long as
the Aircraft is registered under the laws of such country); and (vii) the
Lessee shall have paid or made provision for the payment of all expenses of the
Owner Participant and the Owner Trustee in connection with such change in
registration; and provided, further, that (x) the Owner Trustee and the Owner
Participant shall have received prior to or contemporaneously with such
re-registration (1) a certificate of insurance signed by an independent
insurance broker to the effect that the Aircraft is and after such re-
registration will continue to be insured in such country in accordance with the
requirements of Section 11 of the Lease, (2) a certificate signed by a duly
authorized officer of the Lessee stating that no Event of Default exists as of
the date of such certificate and no Event of Default will occur or exist upon
or resulting from such re-registration, (3) evidence and assurances reasonably
satisfactory to such parties, that the aircraft and engine maintenance
standards under the laws of such country of reregistration are substantially
similar to those required by the central civil aviation authority of any of the
United States, the United Kingdom, the Federal Republic of Germany, France,
Canada or Japan, and (4) in the case of the Owner Par-
62
AF-3
66
ticipant only, assurances reasonably satisfactory to it that the currency of
such country is freely convertible into U.S. Dollars (unless the Lessee shall
have agreed to provide the requisition insurance described in clause (vi)
above) and (y) the Lessee shall not cause the Aircraft to be registered
pursuant to Section 7(a)(i) of the Lease under the laws of any foreign
jurisdiction without the prior written consent of the Owner Participant if (1)
the civil aviation laws of such foreign jurisdiction impose unusual
requirements on registrants of civil aircraft, and (2) the Owner Participant
would be required to comply with such unusual requirements upon the
registration of the Aircraft in such foreign jurisdiction, and the Owner
Participant's compliance therewith would result in a material burden on the
Owner Participant's business activities.
(n) Each of the Indenture Trustee and each Loan Participant
hereby agrees, for the benefit of the Lessee, to cooperate with the Lessee in
effecting any foreign registration of the Aircraft pursuant to Section 7(a)(i)
of the Lease; provided that prior to any such change in the country of registry
of the Aircraft (other than a change in the country of registry that results in
the registration of the Aircraft under the laws of the United States) the
following conditions are met, or are waived by the Indenture Trustee acting
under the direction of a Majority in Interest of Certificate Holders: (i) no
Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the date of
such request or at the effective date of the change in registration; (ii) the
Indenture Trustee shall have received from counsel to the Lessee reasonably
satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee acting under the direction of a Majority
in Interest of Certificate Holders an opinion to the effect that: (A) after
giving effect to such change in registration, all filing, recording or other
action necessary to protect the security interest of the Indenture in the
jurisdiction in which the Aircraft is being registered has been accomplished
(or if such opinion cannot be given at the time by which the Indenture Trustee
has been requested to consent to a change in registration, (x) the opinion
shall detail what filing, recording or other action is necessary and (y) the
Indenture Trustee shall have received a certificate from the Lessee that all
possible preparations to accomplish such filing, recording and other action
shall be accomplished and a supplemental opinion to that effect shall be
delivered to the Indenture Trustee on or prior to the effective date of such
change
63
AF-3
67
in registration); and (B) the terms of any relevant sublease, the Lease, the
Participation Agreement and the Indenture being legal, valid and binding and
enforceable in such jurisdiction (subject to customary exceptions) to
substantially the same extent as such documents are at the time enforceable in
the United States; (iii) the Owner Participant Guaranty will remain in full
force and effect after such change in registration; (iv) the Indenture Trustee
acting under the direction of a Majority in Interest of Certificate Holders
shall have received assurances reasonably satisfactory to it that the insurance
provisions of the Lease will have been complied with after giving effect to
such change in registration; (v) such re-registration will not result in the
imposition by such country of any Taxes on the Loan Participants for which the
Lessee is not required to indemnify the Loan Participants unless the Lessee
agrees to indemnify the Loan Participants for any Taxes imposed by such country
in connection with or relating to the transactions contemplated by the
Operative Documents that would not have been imposed but for such
re-registration; (vi) any import or export permits necessary to take the
Aircraft into or out of such country of registry shall have been obtained;
(vii) the Indenture Trustee shall have received assurances reasonably
satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee acting under the direction of a Majority
of Interest of Certificate Holders that the currency of such country is freely
convertible into U.S. Dollars (unless the Lessee shall have made assurances
reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee acting under the direction of
a Majority of Interest of Certificate Holders that all payments to be made by
or on behalf of the Lessee under the Operative Documents and by any sublessee
under the relevant sublease will be paid in U.S. Dollars); and (viii) the
Lessee shall have paid or made provision for the payment of all expenses of the
Indenture Trustee and the Loan Participants in connection with such change in
registration.
(o) The Indenture Trustee hereby agrees to give the Lessee
notice (the "Notice") not later than the date that is five Business Days prior
to January 1 of each year in which the Indenture shall be in effect, commencing
on December 24, 1992, whether (x) there are any undistributed funds held in
either the Trust Estate or the Indenture Estate, except such funds as shall be
invested in those types of obligations or evidences of debt as are described in

assign, pledge or otherwise transfer all or any portion of any Certificate or
the indebtedness evidenced thereby to any Person, provided that under no

be made unless (i) such Person is a Permitted Transferee, (ii) such sale,
assignment, pledge or transfer is made in accordance with all applicable laws,
(iii) such Loan Participant and such Permitted Transferee shall have executed

Securities Act or qualification of an indenture under the Trust Indenture Act.
The liability of the Owner Trustee in respect of increased costs, Break Amount
and taxes under Section 2.17 or 2.18 of the Trust Indenture, and the liability
of the Lessee under Section 7(c) hereof in respect of amounts payable directly
to the Loan Participants, shall not, as a result of any participation granted
by any Loan Participant, exceed what would have been its liability thereunder
if such Loan Participant had not granted any such participation. Each Loan
Participant may, in connection with any participation or proposed participation
pursuant to this Section 9(q), disclose to the participant or proposed
participant any information relating to the Operative Documents or to the
parties thereto furnished to such Loan Participant thereunder or in connection
therewith and permitted to be disclosed by such Loan Participant; provided,
however, that prior to any such disclosure, the participant or proposed

part of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee in connection with the Trust
Indenture, the Trust Agreement, the Lease, the Aircraft, the administration of
the Trust Estate or the Indenture Estate or otherwise, whether or not such

the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee unless such action or inaction is at
the direction of the Owner Participant (in the case of action or inaction on
the part of the Owner Trustee) or the Loan
69
AF-3
73

SECTION 13. Certain Covenants of the Lessee. The Lessee
covenants and agrees with the Owner Participant, each Loan Participant, the
Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee as follows:
(A) Upon the delivery and acceptance of the Aircraft under
the Lease, the Lessee will cause to be done, executed, acknowledged
and delivered all and every such further acts, conveyances and
assurances as the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant, the Original
Loan Participant or the Indenture Trustee shall require for
accomplishing the purposes of this Agreement and the other Operative
Documents. The Lessee forthwith upon delivery of the Aircraft under
the Lease shall cause the Aircraft to be duly registered and at all
times thereafter to remain duly registered, in the name of the Owner
Trustee, except as otherwise required or permitted hereunder or under
the Lease, under the Federal Aviation Act, or shall furnish to the
Owner Trustee such information as may be required to enable the Owner
Trustee to make application for such registration, and shall promptly
furnish to the Owner Trustee such information as may be required to
enable the Owner Trustee to timely file any reports required to be
filed by it as the Lessor under the Lease or as the owner of the
Aircraft with any governmental authority because of the Owner
Trustee's ownership of the Aircraft.
(B) The Lessee will cause the Manufacturer's FAA Bill of
Sale, the Manufacturer's Subsidiary's FAA Bill of Sale, the FAA Bill
of Sale, the Lease and the Lease Supplement covering the Aircraft, the
Trust Agreement, the Trust Indenture and the Trust Agreement and
Indenture Supplement covering the Aircraft to be promptly filed and
recorded, or filed for recording, to the extent permitted under the
Federal Aviation Act, and the rules and regulations of the Federal
Aviation Administration thereunder, or required under any other
applicable law. Upon the execution and delivery of the Manufacturer's
FAA Bill of Sale, the Manufacturer's Subsidiary's FAA Bill of Sale,
the FAA Bill of Sale, the Lease and the Lease Supplement covering the
Aircraft, the Trust Agreement, the Trust Indenture and the Trust
Agreement and
70
AF-3
74
Indenture Supplement covering the Aircraft shall be filed for
recording with the Federal Aviation Administration in the following
order of priority: first, the Manufacturer's FAA Bill of Sale, the
Manufacturer's Subsidiary's FAA Bill of Sale and the FAA Bill of Sale,
second, the Lease, to be effected by so filing the Lease with such
Lease Supplement, the Trust Indenture and such Trust Agreement and
Indenture Supplement attached thereto, and third, the Trust Indenture,
to be effected by so filing the Trust Indenture with the Trust
Agreement and such Trust Agreement and Indenture Supplement attached
thereto. The Lessee shall, upon request from any of the parties
hereto, provide photocopies of the file-stamped copies of all
documents filed or recorded with the FAA.
(C) The Lessee will furnish to the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee annually after the execution hereof (but not later
than March 15th of each year), commencing with the year 1993, an
opinion of Crowe & Dunlevy, P.C., or other counsel reasonably
acceptable to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, stating
either:
(i) that in the opinion of such counsel such action
has been taken with respect to the recording, filing,
re-recording and refiling of the Lease, the Trust Indenture,
the Trust Agreement and any supplements thereto, including any
financing or continuation statements, and such other filings
and recordings as are necessary to maintain, for the 15-month
period succeeding the date of such opinion, the rights and
interests of the Owner Trustee in and to the Aircraft, and,
with respect to the Trust Indenture, the perfection of the
security interests created thereby and reciting the details of
such action; or
(ii) that in the opinion of such counsel no such action
is necessary to maintain, for the 15-month period succeeding
the date of such opinion, the perfection of such rights and
interests and security interests.
(D) The Lessee shall at all times maintain its corporate
existence except as permitted by Sec-
71
AF-3
75
tion 13(E) 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 its
Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no
longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Lessee. The
Lessee shall, for so long as and to the extent required under Section
1110 of the Bankruptcy Code in order that the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee be entitled to the benefits of Section 1110 of the
Bankruptcy Code with respect to the right to repossess the Airframe,
Engines and Parts as provided in the Lease, remain an "air carrier"
within the meaning of Section 101(16) of the Federal Aviation Act.
(E) The Lessee shall not consolidate with or merge into any
other corporation or convey, transfer or lease substantially all of
its assets as an entirety to any Person, unless:
(i) the corporation formed by such consolidation or into
which the Lessee is merged or the Person which acquires by
conveyance, transfer or lease substantially all of the assets
of the Lessee as an entirety shall be a corporation organized
and existing under the laws of the United States of America or
any State or the District of Columbia, shall be a "citizen of
the United States" as defined in Section 101(16) of the
Federal Aviation Act, and shall execute and deliver to the
Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant, and the Indenture
Trustee an agreement in form reasonably satisfactory to each
thereof containing the 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 Assignment and the Tax Indemnity
Agreement to be performed or observed by the Lessee;
(ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction,
no Event of Default under the Lease, and no event which, after
notice or lapse of time, or both, would become such an Event
of
72
AF-3
76
Default, shall have occurred and be continuing; and
(iii) the Lessee shall have delivered to the Owner
Trustee, the Owner Participant and the Indenture Trustee a
certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Lessee, and
an opinion of counsel to the Lessee (which may be Lessee's
General Counsel), each stating that such consolidation,
merger, conveyance, transfer or lease and the assumption
agreement mentioned in clause (i) comply with this Section
13(E) and that all conditions precedent herein provided for
relating to such transaction have been complied with (except
that such opinion need not cover the matters referred to in
clause (ii) above and may rely, as to factual matters, on a
certificate of an officer of the Lessee) and, in the case of
such opinion, that such assumption agreement has been duly
authorized, executed and delivered by such successor
corporation and is enforceable against such successor
corporation in accordance with its terms, except as the same
may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the
rights of creditors generally and by general principles of
equity.
Upon any consolidation or merger, or any conveyance, transfer or lease
of substantially all of the assets of the Lessee as an entirety in
accordance with this Section 13(E), the successor corporation formed
by such consolidation or 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 and the other Operative Documents with the same
effect as if such successor corporation had been named as the Lessee
herein. No such conveyance, transfer or lease of 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
13(E) from its liability hereunder. Nothing contained herein shall
permit any lease, sublease or other arrangement for the use, operation
or posses-
73
AF-3
77
sion of the Aircraft except in compliance with the applicable
provisions of the Lease.
SECTION 14. Owner for Tax Purposes. The Lessee, the Owner
Trustee and the Owner Participant hereby agree that for Federal income tax
purposes during the Term the Owner Participant will be the owner of the
Aircraft and the Lessee will be the lessee thereof. Nothing contained in this
Section 14 shall be construed to limit Lessee's use and operation of the
Aircraft under the Lease or constitute a representation by the Lessee as to tax
consequences.

SECTION 16. Certain Covenants of the Owner Participant. (a)
The Owner Participant hereby agrees to notify the Lessee or cause the Lessee to
be notified by telephone, telecopier or telegram not later than 1:00 p.m. New
York City time, on the third Business Day prior to the Base Lease Commencement
Date stating whether or not the Owner Participant intends to pay an amount
equal to $2,415,000.00 (the "Excess Payment Amount", subject to adjustment
pursuant to the following paragraph) in full by 1:00 p.m., New York City time,
on the Base Lease Commencement Date. The Owner Participant shall also have the
right to reimburse the Lessee at any time for all or any portion of the
Reimbursement Amount for which the Lessee has not received an offset pursuant
to Section 3(f) of the Lease.
Although the amount of the Excess Payment Amount has been
computed on the assumption that each Certificate will bear interest at the
Assumed Debt Rate for such Certificate throughout the Interim Period, the Owner
Participant and the Lessee recognize that the actual rate of interest on each
Certificate may be a rate from time to time which may be greater or less than
the Assumed Debt Rate for such Certificate and that the related basis upon
80
AF-3
84
which interest on the Certificates will be computed will be as provided in the
Trust Indenture. Accordingly, the Excess Payment Amount shall be increased or
decreased (but not below zero), as the case may be, by an amount (the "Excess
Payment Differential Amount") equal to, as of the Base Lease Commencement Date,
the difference between (i) the aggregate amount of interest actually due and
payable on the Base Lease Commencement Date on the Certificates for the period
from and including the Delivery Date to but excluding the Base Lease
Commencement Date, determined as provided in the Trust Indenture, and (ii) the
aggregate amount of interest on the Loan Certificates that would have been due
and payable on the Base Lease Commencement Date if the outstanding principal
amount of such Loan Certificates had borne interest at the Assumed Debt Rate
for the period from and including the Delivery Date to but excluding the Base
Lease Commencement Date. If, as of the Base Lease Commencement Date, the
amount determined in accordance with clause (i) of the immediately preceding
sentence shall be greater than the amount determined in accordance with clause
(ii) of such sentence, the Excess Payment Amount shall be increased by the
Excess Payment Differential Amount. If, as of the Base Lease Commencement
Date, the amount determined in accordance with such clause (ii) shall be
greater than the amount determined in accordance with such clause (i), the
Excess Payment Amount shall be decreased by the Excess Payment Differential
Amount. The interest actually accruing with respect to the Certificates shall
be as specified by the notification to be delivered by the Original Loan
Participant (whether or not it at the time holds any Loan Certificates) to each
of the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee, each other Loan Participant, the
Indenture Trustee and the Lessee as provided in Section 1(c) hereof.
(b) The Owner Participant hereby unconditionally agrees with and
for the benefit of the other parties to this Agreement that the Owner
Participant will not directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or suffer to
exist any Lessor's Liens on or against any part of the Trust Estate or the
Aircraft arising out of any act or omission of or claim against the Owner
Participant, and the Owner Participant agrees that it will, at its own cost and
expense, take such action as may be necessary to duly discharge and satisfy in
full any such Lessor's Lien (by bonding or otherwise, so long as Lessee's
operation and use of the Aircraft is not impaired and the lien of the Indenture
is not impaired). The Owner Participant hereby
81
AF-3
85
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Lessee, the Indenture Trustee and
each Loan Participant against any loss, cost or expense (including reasonable
legal fees and expenses) which may be suffered or incurred by any of them as
the result of the failure of the Owner Participant to discharge and satisfy any
such Lessor's Lien. In addition, the Owner Participant agrees to indemnify,
protect, save and keep harmless each Loan Participant from and against any
reduction in the amount payable out of the Indenture Estate to such Loan
Participant in respect of the Certificates held by such Loan Participant or any
other loss, cost or expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses)
incurred by such Loan Participant, as a result of the imposition or enforcement
of, or the Owner Participant's failure to satisfy, any Lessor's Lien or claim
against the Indenture Estate by any taxing authority because of the nonpayment
by the Owner Participant of any Taxes imposed on or measured by the net income
or revenues of the Owner Participant that are not required to be indemnified
against by the Lessee.
(c) The Owner Participant shall not directly or indirectly
assign, convey or otherwise transfer any of its right, title or interest in and
to all or any part of this Agreement, the Tax Indemnity Agreement, the Trust
Agreement, the Trust Estate, the Indenture Estate, the Purchase Agreement
Assignment, the Purchase Agreement or any of the other Operative Documents
except that the Owner Participant may assign, convey or otherwise transfer all
(but not less than all) thereof if:
(i) (A) the Person to whom such transfer is made (the "Transferee")
is a "citizen of the United States" within the meaning of Section 101(16)
of the Federal Aviation Act (without the utilization of a voting trust
agreement, voting powers agreement or similar arrangement by the
Transferee or any Affiliate thereof unless the Owner Participant obtains
the consent of the Lessee, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld), and has the requisite power, authority and legal right to enter
into and carry out the transactions contemplated hereby; (B) such
conveyance does not violate any provisions of the Federal Aviation Act,
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (and no registration pursuant to
such Act or the rules and regulations thereunder shall be required in
connection with such conveyance), or any other applicable law, or create a
relationship which
82
AF-3
86
would be in violation thereof, or result in a "prohibited transaction"
under ERISA or the Code; (C) the Transferee enters into an agreement or
agreements, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lessee,
the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee (the "Assumption Agreement")
for the benefit of the Lessee, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture
Trustee, whereby the Transferee confirms that it shall be deemed a party
to this Participation Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Tax Indemnity
Agreement and each other Operative Document to which the Owner Participant
is a party, and the party named as the "Owner Participant" in the Trust
Agreement, the Lease and the Trust Indenture and agrees to be bound by all
of the terms of, and to undertake all of the obligations of the Owner
Participant contained in, this Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Tax
Indemnity Agreement and each other Operative Document to which the Owner
Participant is a party or by which the Owner Participant is bound, and in
which the Transferee shall make representations and warranties
substantially equivalent to those of the Owner Participant contained
herein and, in the event such Transferee is a partnership, such additional
documents and/or amendments to the Operative Documents (in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lessee, the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee) as the Lessee, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture
Trustee may reasonably request; (D) after giving effect to such
assignment, conveyance or transfer, there would be no more than one Owner
Participant with respect to the Aircraft; (E) the Owner Participant shall
deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee (unless the lien of
the Trust Indenture is discharged) and the Lessee an opinion of counsel
(which shall be the general counsel of the Transferee or other counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Lessee and the Indenture Trustee), that the
Assumption Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by
the Transferee and is enforceable against such Transferee in accordance
with its terms, except as the same may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws
affecting the rights of creditors generally or by general principles of
equity; (F) the Owner Participant shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee (unless the lien of the Trust Indenture is discharged)
and the Lessee one or more
83
AF-3
87
certificates of a duly authorized officer of the transferor and if
necessary transferee Owner Participant concerning, when taken together,
all of the matters contained in clauses (A) and (D) of this paragraph (i)
and (except in connection with any such assignment, transfer or conveyance
to a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of American Telephone and
Telegraph Company) an opinion delivered by counsel of the type referred to
in clause (E) to the effect that such transfer complies with the
provisions of clauses (A) (except as to citizenship), (B) and (D) of this
paragraph (i); and (G) the transferor and/or transferee Owner Participant
assumes by an instrument in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the Lessee and the Indenture Trustee the risk of any adverse tax
consequences to any Tax Indemnitee resulting from such conveyance; and
(ii) either (A) the Transferee is a bank or lending institution with
a combined capital and surplus of at least $75,000,000, or is a
corporation or domestic partnership with net worth of at least
$75,000,000, exclusive of goodwill, all of the foregoing determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (hereinafter
referred to as a "Qualifying Institution"), or (B) if the Transferee is
not itself a Qualifying Institution, a parent corporation of the
Transferee which qualifies as a Qualifying Institution shall have executed
and delivered to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee (unless the lien
of the Trust Indenture is discharged) and the Lessee an absolute and
unconditional guaranty, in form and substance satisfactory to the Lessee
and the Indenture Trustee, with respect to the obligations of the
Transferee as the Owner Participant assumed by the Transferee under the
Assumption Agreement referred to above, and the Transferee shall deliver
to the Indenture Trustee (unless the lien of the Trust Indenture is
discharged), the Owner Trustee and the Lessee an opinion of counsel (which
shall be the general counsel of the Qualifying Institution providing such
guaranty or other counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Lessee and the
Indenture Trustee) that such guaranty is enforceable against the guarantor
in accordance with its terms.
In the event that the Owner Participant is neither American
Telephone and Telegraph Company, AT&T
84
AF-3
88
Credit Corporation nor any other Affiliate of American Telephone and Telegraph
Company, any transfer by direct sale, consolidation, merger or otherwise of 50%
or more of the capital stock of the Owner Participant (including, for this
purpose, any such transfer of the capital stock of any one of its direct or
indirect parent companies or other parent entities, other than its ultimate
parent entity) (any such transfer being referred to as a "Change in Control")
shall be deemed to be a conveyance by such Owner Participant of its interests
in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement subject to this Section
16(c), and accordingly no such Change in Control shall take place without the
Lessee's consent unless it satisfies the terms and conditions set forth in this
Section 16(c), including without limitation those set forth in paragraphs (i)
and (ii) above; provided that no such transfer of the capital stock of an Owner
Participant that is American Telephone and Telegraph Company, AT&T Credit
Corporation or any other Affiliate of American Telephone and Telegraph Company
(or any of the direct or indirect parent companies or other parent entities of
any thereof) shall be prohibited by or subject to the terms of this Section
16(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if (x) the obligations of such
Owner Participant were guaranteed at the time such Owner Participant became the
Owner Participant hereunder by a parent entity that was at such time a
Qualifying Institution (the "Parent Guarantor"), and (y) following a Change in
Control, the Transferee remains both a member of the controlled or consolidated
group of companies of which the Parent Guarantor is a part and a subsidiary of
the Parent Guarantor, such Transferee shall comply with the conditions set
forth in paragraph (i) above, but shall not be required to satisfy the
conditions set forth in paragraph (ii) above; provided that such guaranty of
the Parent Guarantor is amended to remain in full force and effect in respect
of the Transferee and the Transferee delivers to the Indenture Trustee (unless
the lien of the Trust Indenture is discharged), the Owner Trustee and the
Lessee an opinion of counsel (which shall be the general counsel of the Parent
Guarantor or other counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Lessee) in form and
substance satisfactory to the Lessee and the Owner Trustee as to the continued
legality, validity and enforceability of such guaranty.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the Lease is in effect,
there shall not be more than five transfers (not including any transfer to any
Affiliate of
85
AF-3
89
American Telephone and Telegraph Company) by the Owner Participant (including
its successors and permitted assigns) pursuant to this Section 16(c) without
the prior written consent of the Lessee, such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld. Any fees, charges and expenses incurred by the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee or the Lessee in connection with any transfer pursuant to
this Section 16(c), including, without limitation the out-of-pocket expenses of
the Lessee and reasonable legal fees and expenses, will be paid by the
transferring Owner Participant and in no case will the Lessee be responsible
for any such fees, charges or expenses. Without the consent of the Lessee, no
transfer shall be permitted pursuant to this Section 16(c) to a Transferee that
is (i) an airline or other commercial operator of aircraft that is a competitor
of the Lessee or any of its Affiliates or (ii) a corporation or other entity
that is an Affiliate of any such airline or other commercial operator of
aircraft.
Upon any such conveyance by the Owner Participant to a Transferee
permitted by this Section 16(c), the Transferee shall be deemed the "Owner
Participant" for all purposes hereof (unless the context is inappropriate) and
shall be deemed to have made all the investments in beneficial ownership of the
Aircraft previously made by the Owner Participant in respect of the right,
title and interest so conveyed; and each reference in this Agreement, the Trust
Agreement, the Lease, the Tax Indemnity Agreement, the Trust Indenture and the
other Operative Documents to the Owner Participant making the transfer shall
thereafter be deemed a reference to the Transferee as the Owner Participant
(unless the context is inappropriate). Upon any such conveyance by the Owner
Participant to a Transferee permitted by the foregoing provisions of this
Section 16(c), the transferor Owner Participant shall be relieved of all of its
liabilities and obligations hereunder and under the Trust Agreement to the
extent of the interest so transferred, provided that in no event will any such
conveyance release the transferor Owner Participant from any liability to the
extent caused by any breach existing at the time of such conveyance by the
Owner Participant of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or
obligations contained herein or in the Trust Agreement. If the Owner
Participant proposes to transfer its interests pursuant to this Section 16(c),
it shall give 20 days' (or, in the case of a transfer where the Transferee is
an Affiliate of the Owner Par-
86
AF-3
90
ticipant making the transfer, 10 days') prior written notice thereof to the
Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Lessee, specifying the name and
address of the transferee and specifying the facts necessary to determine
whether the conditions of this Section 16(c) have been or shall be satisfied.
SECTION 17. Optional Redemption of Certificates. (a) So long
as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lessee shall
have the right to request the Owner Participant and the Owner Trustee to effect
an optional redemption of all of the Certificates (the "Outstanding
Certificates") (such term to include the Certificates originally issued under
the Trust Indenture and any refunding indebtedness issued pursuant to this
Section 17 or Section 20) pursuant to the Trust Indenture as part of a
refunding or refinancing operation. Promptly on receipt of such request, the
Owner Participant will negotiate promptly in good faith to conclude an
agreement with the Lessee as to the terms of such refunding or refinancing
operation and upon such agreement:
(i) the Lessee, the Owner Participant, the Indenture Trustee, the
Owner Trustee, and any other appropriate parties will enter into a
financing or loan agreement (which may involve an underwriting agreement
in connection with a public offering; provided, however, that in the case
of a refunding or refinancing involving a public offering of debt
securities, the Lessee shall have the right to purchase such debt
securities and apply such debt securities as a credit against its
obligations to pay Rent to the extent permitted by the Tax Indemnity
Agreement) providing for (x) the issuance and sale by the Owner Trustee or
such other party as may be appropriate to such institution or institutions
on the date specified in such agreement (for the purposes of this Section
17, the "Refunding Date") of United States Dollar-denominated debt
securities in an aggregate principal amount equal to the sum of the
principal amount of the Outstanding Certificates on the Refunding Date
and, subject to clause (w) of Section 17(a)(ii), all interest accrued
thereon to the Refunding Date and (y) the application of the proceeds of
the sale of such debt securities to the redemption of all such
Certificates on the Refunding Date;
87
AF-3
91
(ii) the Lessee and the Owner Trustee will amend the Lease such that
(w) if the Refunding Date is not a Lease Period Date, the Lessee shall on
the Refunding Date prepay that portion of the next succeeding installment
of Basic Rent as shall equal the aggregate interest accrued on the
Outstanding Certificates to the Refunding Date in the event that such
interest is not financed through the issuance of debt securities on the
Refunding Date (provided that if the Refunding Date occurs on or prior to
the Base Lease Commencement Date, the Owner Participant may, pursuant to
Section 16(a) hereof on the Refunding Date prepay the Excess Payment
Amount), (x) Basic Rent payable in respect of the period from and after
the Refunding Date shall be recalculated to preserve the Owner
Participant's Net Economic Return (or, in the case of any recalculation
hereunder subsequent to any Section 20 Refinancing, the Owner
Participant's Revised Net Economic Return), (y) amounts payable in respect
of Stipulated Loss Value and Termination Value from and after the
Refunding Date shall be appropriately recalculated to preserve the Owner
Participant's Net Economic Return (or, in the case of any recalculation
hereunder subsequent to the Section 20 Refinancing, the Owner
Participant's Revised Net Economic Return) and (z) the Special Purchase
Price and the Special Purchase Option Date shall be recalculated as
provided in Section 18;
(iii) the Owner Trustee will enter into an agreement to provide for
the securing thereunder of the debt securities issued by the Owner Trustee
pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 17 in like manner as the
Certificates issuable under the Trust Indenture and/or will enter into
such amendments and supplements to the Trust Indenture as may be necessary
to effect such refunding or refinancing, provided that no such amendment
or supplement will materially increase the liabilities of or impair the
rights of the Owner Participant under the Operative Documents without the
consent of the Owner Participant; and
(iv) unless otherwise agreed by the Owner Participant, the Lessee
shall pay as Supplemental Rent on an After-Tax Basis all reasonable fees,
costs, and expenses of such refunding or refinancing;
88
AF-3
92
provided, however, that (w) there shall be no more than two such refundings or
refinancings (not including the Section 20 Refinancing), (x) if within 15 days
after receipt of a request from the Lessee to effect a refunding or refinancing
pursuant to this Section 17, which request specifies the proposed structural
terms and the amount thereof, the Owner Participant provides the Lessee with a
written notice to the effect that there will be a risk of adverse tax
consequences to the Owner Participant resulting from the refunding or
refinancing and, if then requested by the Lessee in writing, within 15 days
after receipt of such request, the Owner Participant provides the Lessee with a
written opinion of independent tax counsel selected by the Owner Participant
and reasonably acceptable to the Lessee to the effect that there will be a risk
of such adverse tax consequences to the Owner Participant resulting from the
refunding or refinancing (other than the consequence that the refinanced loan
constitutes "qualified nonrecourse indebtedness" within the meaning of
Temporary Regulations Section 1.861-10T(b) for the purpose of the computation
of the FSC Benefits (as defined in the Tax Indemnity Agreement)), then the
Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant shall be required to effect such
refunding or refinancing only if the Lessee shall have agreed to indemnify the
Owner Participant against such identified adverse tax consequences in a manner
reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Participant; provided, however, the
parties agree that in the absence of a change in applicable laws, regulations,
revenue rulings, revenue procedures or judicial precedents enacted, adopted or
decided after the Delivery Date, a refinancing or refunding will not be deemed
for this purpose to result in a risk of the Owner Participant not being
considered the owner of the Aircraft, Airframe, any Engine or any Part for
Federal or other income tax purposes, (y) no such refinancing or refunding
shall require an increase in the amount of the Owner Participant's investment
in the beneficial ownership of the Aircraft or shall cause the ratio of the
newly issued debt to the Owner Participant's then outstanding investment in the
Aircraft to be more than 4 to 1 and (z) except with respect to matters relating
to taxes, no such refunding or refinancing will materially increase the
liabilities of or impair the rights of the Owner Participant. In addition, if
any such refunding or refinancing occurs after the Section 20 Refinancing,
neither the refunding or refinancing, nor any related adjustment of Basic Rent,
shall increase or decrease the periodic earnings (as defined in
89
AF-3
93
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13 issued by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board) of the Owner Participant for any calendar year in
the period (if any) from the date of such refunding or refinancing to December
31, 1998 each by an amount greater than 10% of the amount of earnings expected
for each such calendar year immediately prior to such refunding or refinancing.
(b) The Certificates, and any other debt instruments issued in
connection with any refunding or refinancing operation permitted by this
Section 17, shall not be subject to optional redemption by the Owner Trustee
without the consent of the Lessee (except as provided in Section 2.13 of the
Trust Indenture).
SECTION 18. Calculation of Adjustments to Basic Rent, Stipulated
Loss Value, Termination Value, etc.; Confirmation and Verification. (a)
Calculation of Adjustments. In the event that (A) the expenses paid by the
Owner Participant pursuant to Section 9(a) hereof (except for any expenses paid
or payable to any financial advisor to the Owner Participant) and such other
expenses as the Lessee shall expressly agree in writing shall be deemed to be
"Transaction Costs" (collectively, the "Transaction Costs") are less or more
than 0.5% of Lessor's Cost, or (B) prior to the acceptance of the Aircraft on
the Delivery Date: (1) there shall have occurred a Change in Tax Law and (2)
after having been advised in writing by the Owner Participant of such Change in
Tax Law and the proposed adjustment to the payments of Basic Rent resulting
therefrom, Lessee shall have waived its right under Section 11 hereof to
decline to proceed with the transaction, or (C) a refinancing or refunding as
contemplated by Section 17 hereof occurs (it being understood that if the
Refunding Date occurs on or prior to the Base Lease Commencement Date, any
recalculations pursuant to this clause (C) shall take into account any
prepayment by the Owner Participant on such Refunding Date of the Excess
Payment Amount pursuant to Section 16(a) hereof under clause (w) of Section
17(a)(ii) hereof or under clause (w) of Section 20(a)(ii) hereof), or (D) the
Delivery Date is other than August 11, 1992, or (E) if the Certificates are not
refunded or refinanced on or prior to the Base Lease Commencement Date, the
Excess Payment Amount (after adjustment for any Excess Payment Differential
Amount) is other than $2,415,000.00, then, in each case, the Owner Participant
shall recalculate the payments of Basic Rent and Stipulated Loss Values,
Termination Values and the
90
AF-3
94
Excess Payment Amount with respect to the Term (i) to preserve the Owner
Participant's Net Economic Return (or, in the case of any recalculation
hereunder subsequent to the Section 20 Refinancing, the Owner Participant's
Revised Net Economic Return) and (ii) to minimize to the greatest extent
possible, consistent with the foregoing clause (i), the present value
(discounted semiannually at an interest rate per annum to be supplied by the
Lessee) of the payments of Basic Rent. In addition, in the event of a
refinancing or refunding referred to in clause (C) of the preceding sentence,
the Special Purchase Price Percentage and the Special Purchase Option Date
shall be recalculated in a manner consistent with the procedures specified in
the second sentence of Section 20(c). In performing any such recalculations,
the Owner Participant shall utilize the same methods and assumptions originally
used to calculate the payments of Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss Values,
Termination Values and Special Purchase Price Percentage with respect to the
Term (or, in the case of any recalculation hereunder subsequent to the Section
20 Refinancing, the same methods and assumptions originally used by the
original Owner Participant in the calculation of the alternate schedules
referred to in the definition of the Owner Participant's Revised Net Economic
Return and the Special Purchase Price Percentage and held in escrow by Sidley &
Austin pursuant to Section 18(d)) (in each case as such assumptions may be
changed as a result of the event described in clause (A), (B), (C) or (D) of
the second preceding sentence necessitating such recalculation or due to the
prior occurrence of any such event or the prior occurrence of the Section 20
Refinancing); provided that, Basic Rent, as so recomputed, shall comply with
the requirements of Sections 4.02(5) and 4.07(1) of Revenue Procedure 75-28,
1975-1 C.B. 752, and shall not present a greater risk that Section 467(b)(2) of
the Code would apply than the risk that Section 467(b)(2) applied prior to such
recomputation, it being agreed that the requirements of clause (i) of Section
5.01 of Rev. Proc. 75-21, 1975-1 C.B. 715, shall be applied on a prospective
basis.
(b) Confirmation and Verification. Upon completion of any
recalculation described above in Section 18(a), a duly authorized officer of
the Owner Participant shall provide a certificate to the Lessee either (x)
stating that the payments of Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss Values and Termination
Values with respect to the Term and, in the case of the second sentence of
Section 18(a), the Special Purchase Price Percentage as are
91
AF-3
95
then applicable do not require change, or (y) setting forth such adjustments to
the payments of Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss Values or Termination Values with
respect to the Term and, in the case of the second sentence of Section 18(a),
the Special Purchase Price Percentage as have been calculated by the Owner
Participant in accordance with Section 18(a) above and Section 3(e) of the
Lease. Such certificate shall describe in reasonable detail the basis for any
such adjustments. If the Lessee shall so request, the recalculation of any
such adjustments described in this Section 18 shall be verified by a nationally
recognized firm of independent public accountants jointly selected by the
Lessee and the Owner Participant (provided that such firm of independent public
accountants shall not be regularly retained by either the Lessee or the Owner
Participant). A representative of such firm shall be shown, on a confidential
basis, the original assumptions used by the Owner Participant and held in
escrow by Sidley & Austin pursuant to Section 18(d) and the methods used by the
Owner Participant in the original calculation of, and any recalculation of,
Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss Values and Termination Values and, in the case of
the second sentence of Section 18(a), the Special Purchase Price Percentage
(or, in the case of any recalculation hereunder subsequent to the Section 20
Refinancing, the same methods and assumptions originally used by the original
Owner Participant in the calculation of the alternate schedules referred to in
the definition of the Owner Participant's Revised Net Economic Return and the
Special Purchase Price Percentage held in escrow by Sidley & Austin pursuant to
Section 18(d)). The reasonable costs of such verification shall be borne by
the Lessee, unless as a result of such verification process the payments of
Basic Rent are adjusted and such adjustment causes (i) the present value of the
payments of Basic Rent, discounted semi-annually at the Assumed Debt Rate, to
decline by five basis points or more from the present value of the payments of
Basic Rent, discounted semi-annually at the Assumed Debt Rate, certified by the
Owner Participant pursuant to this Section 18(b) or (ii) any Stipulated Loss
Value or Termination Value percentage or, in the case of the second sentence of
Section 18(a), the Special Purchase Price Percentage, to be significantly below
that certified by the Owner Participant pursuant to this Section 18(b), in
which case the Owner Participant shall be responsible for the reasonable costs
of such verification. In connection with any adjustment pursuant to this
Section 18 or Section 20, the
92
AF-3
96
Owner Participant, the Lessee, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee
shall enter into an appropriately revised Rent Schedule.
(c) Payment of Debt Service. No adjustment may be made to the
payments of Basic Rent or to Stipulated Loss Values or Termination Values with
respect to the Term, unless (i) each installment of Basic Rent (or, in the case
of the Base Lease Commencement Date, the Excess Payment Amount), as so
adjusted, under any circumstances and in any event, will be in an amount at
least sufficient for the Owner Trustee to pay in full as of the due date of
such installment any payment of principal or interest on the Certificates
required to be paid on the due date of such installment of Basic Rent (or on
the Base Lease Commencement Date, as the case may be) and (ii) Stipulated Loss
Value and Termination Value, as so adjusted, under any circumstances and in any
event, will be an amount which, together with any other amounts required to be
paid by the Lessee under the Lease in connection with an Event of Loss or a
termination of the Lease, as the case may be, will be at least sufficient to
pay in full, as of the date of payment thereof, the aggregate unpaid principal
of and all unpaid interest on the Certificates accrued to the date on which
Stipulated Loss Value or Termination Value, as the case may be, is paid in
accordance with the terms of the Lease.
(d) Escrow. The Owner Participant agrees to place in escrow
with Sidley & Austin, and to cause Sidley & Austin to retain, (i) the
assumptions and methods utilized by the Owner Participant in the calculation of
the schedules of Basic Rent, Termination Value and Stipulated Loss Value
referred to the definition of the Owner Participant's Net Economic Return, and
in the calculation of the Special Purchase Price Percentage as of the Delivery
Date, (ii) the assumptions and methods utilized by the Owner Participant in the
calculation of the alternate schedules of Basic Rent, Termination Value and
Stipulated Loss Value referred to in the definition of the Owner Participant's
Revised Net Economic Return, together with such alternate schedules, and the
Special Purchase Price Percentage applicable to a lease financing accomplished
pursuant to such alternate schedules (calculated to preserve the Special
Purchase Price Yield to the applicable Special Purchase Option Date in
accordance with the methodology described in the second sentence to Section
20(c)), copies of which alternate schedules and such
93
AF-3
97
Special Purchase Price Percentage have been provided to the Lessee, and (iii)
any adjustments made to any of the assumptions referred to in clause (i) or
(ii) of this sentence to take into account the effect of any change of the type
specified in Section 3(e) of the Lease which theretofore has resulted in an
adjustment of the percentages of Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss Value, Termination
Value or Special Purchase Price Percentage. In connection with the foregoing,
the Owner Participant will provide Sidley & Austin with such supporting
documents and materials, and access to such computer programs and/or software,
as would be complete and sufficient, without more, to enable the verification,
as contemplated by Section 18(b), of any calculations made by the Owner
Participant under this Section 18 or Section 20.
SECTION 19. Concerning the Owner Trustee. Wilmington Trust
Company is entering into this Agreement solely in its capacity as Owner Trustee
under the Trust Agreement and not in its individual capacity (except as
expressly stated herein) and in no case shall Wilmington Trust Company (or any
entity acting as successor Owner Trustee under the Trust Agreement) be
personally liable for or on account of any of the statements, representations,
warranties, covenants or obligations stated to be those of the Owner Trustee
hereunder, provided, however, that Wilmington Trust Company (or any such
successor Owner Trustee) shall be personally liable hereunder for its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct or for its breach of its covenants,
representations and warranties contained herein, to the extent covenanted or
made in its individual capacity.
SECTION 20. Section 20 Refinancing. (a) In addition to the
provisions set forth in Section 17, whether or not a refunding or refinancing
pursuant to such Section 17 shall have previously occurred, and with regard to
the role of Credit (as defined in the Tax Indemnity Agreement) in the
transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements, at any time the Lessee
shall have the right to request the Owner Participant and the Owner Trustee to
effect an optional redemption of all of the Outstanding Certificates as part of
a refunding or refinancing operation with refinancing indebtedness with respect
to which the refinancing indebtedness has a final maturity date of at least six
months after the final maturity date of the Outstanding Certificates and has a
weighted average life to maturity at least 90 days longer
94
AF-3
98
than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Outstanding
Certificates (such refinancing hereinafter referred to as the "Section 20
Refinancing"). Promptly on receipt of such request (which request shall
specifically designate such refinancing as the Section 20 Refinancing), the
Owner Participant will, in good faith, use all reasonable efforts to conclude
an agreement with the Lessee as to the terms of such Section 20 Refinancing and
upon such agreement:
(i) the Lessee, the Owner Participant, the Indenture Trustee, the
Owner Trustee, and any other appropriate parties will enter into a
financing or loan agreement (which may involve an underwriting agreement
in connection with a public offering; provided, however, that in the case
of a refunding or refinancing involving a public offering of debt
securities, the Lessee shall have the right to purchase such debt
securities and apply such debt securities as a credit against its
obligations to pay Rent to the extent permitted by the Tax Indemnity
Agreement) providing for (x) the issuance and sale by the Owner Trustee or
such other party as may be appropriate to such institution or institutions
on the date specified in such agreement (for the purposes of this Section
20, the "Section 20 Refunding Date") of United States Dollar-denominated
debt securities in an aggregate principal amount at least equal to the
principal amount of the Outstanding Certificates on the Section 20
Refunding Date and, subject to clause (w) of Section 20(a)(ii), all
interest accrued thereon to the Section 20 Refunding Date and (y) the
application of the proceeds of the sale of such debt securities to the
redemption of all such Certificates on the Section 20 Refunding Date;
(ii) the Lessee and the Owner Trustee will amend the Lease such that
(w) if the Section 20 Refunding Date is not a Lease Period Date, the
Lessee shall on the Section 20 Refunding Date prepay that portion of the
next succeeding installment of Basic Rent as shall equal the aggregate
interest accrued on the Outstanding Certificates to the Section 20
Refunding Date in the event that such interest is not financed through the
issuance of debt securities on the Section 20 Refunding Date, provided
that if the Section 20 Refunding Date occurs on or prior to the Base Lease
Commencement Date, the Owner Participant
95
AF-3
99
may, pursuant to Section 16(a), prepay the Excess Payment Amount or such
portion thereof on the Section 20 Refunding Date as the Lessee and the
Owner Participant shall agree is advisable in order to optimize the
revised rental schedules to be calculated pursuant to Section 20(c), (x)
Basic Rent payable in respect of the period from and after the Section 20
Refunding Date shall be recalculated pursuant to Section 20(c) to preserve
the Owner Participant's Revised Net Economic Return, (y) amounts payable
in respect of Stipulated Loss Value and Termination Value from and after
the Section 20 Refunding Date shall be appropriately recalculated pursuant
to Section 20(c) to preserve the Owner Participant's Revised Net Economic
Return and (z) the Special Purchase Price Percentage and the Special
Purchase Option Date shall be recalculated pursuant to Section 20(c);
(iii) the Owner Trustee will enter into an agreement to provide for
the securing thereunder of the debt securities issued by the Owner Trustee
pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 20 in like manner as the
Certificates issuable under the Trust Indenture and/or will enter into
such amendments and supplements to the Trust Indenture as may be necessary
to effect such refunding or refinancing; and
(iv) unless otherwise agreed by the Owner Participant, the Lessee
shall pay as Supplemental Rent on an After-Tax Basis all reasonable fees,
costs, and expenses of such refunding or refinancing;
provided, however, that if within 15 days after receipt of a request from the
Lessee to effect the Section 20 Refinancing, which request specifies the
proposed structural terms of such refinancing and the amount of refinancing
indebtedness, the Owner Participant provides the Lessee with a written notice
to the effect that there will be a risk of adverse tax consequences to the
Owner Participant resulting from the Section 20 Refinancing and, if then
requested by the Lessee in writing, within 15 days after receipt of such
request, the Owner Participant provides the Lessee with a written opinion of
independent tax counsel selected by the Owner Participant and reasonably
acceptable to the Lessee to the effect that there will be a risk of such
adverse tax consequences to the Owner Participant resulting from the Section 20
Refinancing
96
AF-3
100
(other than the consequence that the refinanced loan constitutes "qualified
nonrecourse indebtedness" within the meaning of Temporary Regulations Section
1.861-10T(b) for the purpose of the computation of the FSC Benefits (as defined
in the Tax Indemnity Agreement)), then the Owner Trustee and the Owner
Participant shall be required to effect the Section 20 Refinancing only if the
Lessee shall have agreed to indemnify the Owner Participant against such
identified adverse tax consequences in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the
Owner Participant; provided, however, the parties agree that in the absence of
a change in applicable laws, regulations, revenue rulings, revenue procedures
or judicial precedents enacted, adopted or decided after the Delivery Date, the
Section 20 Refinancing will not be deemed for this purpose to result in a risk
of the Owner Participant not being considered the owner of the Aircraft,
Airframe, any Engine or any Part for Federal or other income tax purposes.
Each of the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee, each Loan
Participant and the Indenture Trustee agrees to use all reasonable efforts to
facilitate the Section 20 Refinancing, including, without limitation, by making
such modifications to, or entering into such amendments and supplements to, the
Operative Documents as may be appropriate or necessary to effect the Section 20
Refinancing.
(b) The Section 20 Refinancing shall not constitute a refunding
or refinancing for the purposes of Section 17. Any debt instruments issued in
connection with the Section 20 Refinancing shall not be subject to optional
redemption by the Owner Trustee without the consent of the Lessee (except as
provided in Section 2.13 of the Trust Indenture).
(c) In connection with the Section 20 Refinancing, the Owner
Participant shall recalculate the payments of Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss
Values and Termination Values with respect to the Term and, if the Section 20
Refunding Date occurs on or prior to the Base Lease Commencement Date, the
Excess Payment Amount payable pursuant to Section 16(a) hereof (such
recalculation of the Excess Payment Amount to take into account any prepayment
by the Owner Participant on such Section 20 Refunding Date of all or part of
the Excess Payment Amount under clause (w) of Section 20(a)(ii)), (i) to
achieve the Owner Participant's Revised Net Economic Return, and (ii) to
minimize, to the greatest extent possible consistent with the foregoing
97
AF-3
101
clause (i), the present value (discounted semiannually at an interest rate per
annum to be supplied by the Lessee) of the payments of Basic Rent. In
addition, in such event, the Special Purchase Price Percentage shall be
recalculated in order to preserve the Special Purchase Price Yield to the
Special Purchase Option Date of August 11, 2012; provided that the Special
Purchase Price Percentage for the Special Purchase Option Date, as so adjusted,
shall not be less than 56.9%. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner
Participant, the Owner Trustee and the Lessee agree that, at the Lessee's
option, the Lessee may request that the Special Purchase Option Date be changed
(and that the Special Purchase Price Percentage be recalculated as of such
changed date) to whichever of the four Lease Period Dates preceding the Special
Purchase Option Date or the two Lease Period Dates following the Special
Purchase Option Date (each, an "Alternate Special Purchase Option Date") would
result in the lowest possible sum of (1) the present value (discounted
semiannually at an interest rate per annum to be supplied by the Lessee) of the
payments of Basic Rent for the period from the Section 20 Refunding Date to and
including the applicable Alternate Special Purchase Option Date (but excluding
any Basic Rent designated as payable in advance on such Alternate Special
Purchase Option Date) and (2) the present value (discounted semiannually at an
interest rate per annum to be supplied by the Lessee) of the Special Purchase
Price as of such Alternate Special Purchase Option Date, and that, if
necessary, the Lease shall be amended to reflect the change in the Special
Purchase Option Date from August 11, 2012 to whichever of the Alternate Special
Purchase Option Dates as would give rise to the lowest such sum; provided that
upon any such request by the Lessee to change the Special Purchase Option Date
to an Alternate Special Purchase Option Date, the Owner Participant shall, at
its cost and expense, obtain an estimate of the fair market value (taking into
account a reasonable estimate for inflation and deflation) of the Aircraft, as
of any Alternate Special Purchase Option Dates specified by the Lessee, from BK
Associates, Inc. or, if BK Associates, Inc. shall not then be an independent
aircraft appraiser, from an independent aircraft appraiser selected by mutual
agreement of the Owner Participant and the Lessee or, if they shall be unable
to agree, from an appraiser selected pursuant to an Independent Appraisal
(except that all costs and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the
Owner Participant) and, if the estimated fair market value of the Aircraft
determined
98
AF-3
102
by such appraiser (expressed as a percentage of Lessor's Cost) is more than the
Special Purchase Price Percentage calculated for the Alternate Special Purchase
Option Date as provided above in this sentence to which the Lessee has
requested the Special Purchase Option Date be changed, the Special Purchase
Option Date shall remain unchanged and the Special Purchase Price Percentage
shall be the percentage determined in accordance with the preceding sentence,
unless the Lessee elects that the Special Purchase Price Percentage as of such
Alternate Special Purchase Option Date shall be equal to such estimated fair
market value (computed as a percentage of Lessor's Cost), in which case the
Lease shall be amended to reflect such Alternate Special Purchase Option Date.
In performing any such recalculations in respect of Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss
Value and Termination Value, the Owner Participant shall utilize the same
methods and assumptions originally used to calculate the alternate schedules of
Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss Values and Termination Values referred to in the
definition of the Owner Participant's Revised Net Economic Return and in
performing any such recalculations in respect of the Special Purchase Price
Percentage, the Owner Participant shall, subject to the proviso to the
preceding sentence, utilize the same methods and assumptions originally used to
calculate the Special Purchase Price Percentage held in escrow by Sidley &
Austin pursuant to Section 18(d) (other than, in each case, those assumptions
changed as a result of the Section 20 Refinancing; it being agreed that such
recalculation shall reflect solely any changes of assumptions or facts
resulting directly from such Section 20 Refinancing or due to the prior
occurrence of any event taken into account in a recalculation pursuant to
Section 18), provided that, Basic Rent, as so recomputed, shall comply with the
requirements of Sections 4.02(5) and 4.07(1) of Revenue Procedure 75-28, 1975-1
C.B. 752, and shall not present a greater risk that Section 467(b)(2) of the
Code would apply than the risk that Section 467(b)(2) applied prior to such
recomputation, it being agreed that the requirements of clause (i) of Section
5.01 of Rev. Proc. 75-21, 1975-1 C.B. 715, shall be applied on a prospective
basis.
Upon completion of any recalculation described above in this
Section 20(c), a duly authorized officer of the Owner Participant shall provide
a certificate to the Lessee either (x) stating that the payments of Basic Rent,
Stipulated Loss Values and Termination Values with respect to the Term, and the
Special Purchase Price Percentage and
99
AF-3
103
the Special Purchase Option Date, as are then set forth in the Lease do not
require change, or (y) setting forth such adjustments to the payments of Basic
Rent, Stipulated Loss Values or Termination Values with respect to the Term and
the Special Purchase Price Percentage and the Special Purchase Option Date, as
have been calculated by the Owner Participant in accordance with the above
provisions. Such certificate shall describe in reasonable detail the basis for
any such adjustments. If the Lessee shall so request, the recalculation of any
such adjustments described in this Section 20 shall be verified by procedures
substantially identical to the verification procedures set forth in Section
18(b). No adjustment may be made to the payments of Basic Rent, Stipulated
Loss Values or Termination Values with respect to the Term pursuant to this
Section 20 except in accordance with the provisions of Section 18(c).
Section 21. Miscellaneous. (a) Nothing contained in this
Agreement, or in the Lease, the Trust Indenture, the Trust Agreement or the Tax
Indemnity Agreement shall be construed as a guarantee by the Lessee of payments
due pursuant to the Certificates or of the residual value or useful life of the
Aircraft or any portion thereof.
(b) Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited and
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. This Agreement may be
executed by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall
together constitute but one and the same instrument. Neither this Agreement
nor any of the terms hereof may be terminated, amended, supplemented, waived or
modified orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party
against which the enforcement of the termination, amendment, supplement, waiver
or modification is sought. The section and paragraph headings in this
Agreement and the index preceding this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and shall not modify, define, expand or limit any of the terms
or provisions hereof and all references herein to numbered sec-
100
AF-3
104
tions, unless otherwise indicated, are to sections of this Agreement.
(c) The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall
inure to the benefit of, the Lessee and, subject to the terms of Section 13(E)
hereof, its successors and permitted assigns, the Indenture Trustee and its
successors as Indenture Trustee under the Trust Indenture, the Owner Trustee
and its successors as Owner Trustee under the Trust Agreement, the Owner
Participant and, subject to the provisions of Section 16(c) hereof, its
successors and permitted assigns, and the Original Loan Participant and,
subject to the provisions of Section 9(p) hereof, the other Loan Participants.
Each Loan Participant other than the Original Loan Participant, by its
acceptance of any Certificate, shall be deemed to have irrevocably and
unconditionally agreed to perform the obligations of a Loan Participant
hereunder and under the Trust Indenture.
(d) With respect to any opinion required to be delivered under
any Operative Document by counsel to any party hereto, each party hereto hereby
irrevocably instructs its applicable counsel to deliver such opinion to and for
the benefit of the parties that are the addressees of such opinion.
THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN DELIVERED IN THE STATE OF 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.

AF-1
14
Trustee (and the Owner Trustee shall use reasonable efforts to cause such funds
to be transferred by wire transfer on the same day as received, but in any case
not later than the next succeeding Business Day), and (ii) the Indenture
Trustee pursuant to this Article IV by paying the amount to be distributed to

Participant shall direct) all funds not transferred by wire transfer on the
same day as they were received. Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject

Owner Participant with the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity or with the
Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, in immediately available funds, or (ii)
by mailing, or causing the Indenture Trustee to mail, an official bank check or
checks in such amount or amounts payable to the Owner Participant at such
address as the Owner Participant shall have designated in writing to the Owner
Trustee.
ARTICLE V
DUTIES OF THE OWNER TRUSTEE
Section 5.01. Notice of Event of Default. If the Owner
Trustee shall have knowledge of a Lease Event of Default or an Indenture Event
of Default (or an event that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice
or both, would constitute a Lease Event of Default or an Indenture Event of
Default), the Owner Trustee shall give to the Owner Participant and Lessee
prompt telephonic or telex notice thereof followed by prompt confirmation
thereof by certified mail, postage prepaid. Subject to the terms of Section
5.03, the Owner Trustee shall take such action or shall refrain from taking
such action, not
10
AF-1
15
inconsistent with the provisions of the Operative Documents, with respect to
such Lease Event of Default or Indenture Event of Default or event as the Owner
Trustee shall be directed in writing by the Owner Participant. For all
purposes of this Trust Agreement and the Lease, the Owner Trustee shall not be
deemed to have knowledge of a Lease Event of Default or an Indenture Event of
Default or an event that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or
both, would constitute a Lease Event of Default or an Indenture Event of
Default unless notified in writing thereof in the manner and at the address set
forth in Section 11.05 or unless an officer in the Corporate Trust
Administration of the Owner Trustee has actual knowledge thereof.
Section 5.02. Action Upon Instructions. Subject in all
respects to the terms of Sections 5.01 and 5.03 and to the terms of the other
Operative Documents, upon the written instructions at any time and from time to
time of the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee will take such of the
following actions as may be specified in such instructions: (i) give such
notice or direction or exercise such right, remedy or power hereunder or under
any of the Operative Documents to which the Owner Trustee is a party, or in
respect of all or any part of the Trust Estate, as shall be specified in such
instructions; (ii) take such action to preserve or protect the Trust Estate
(including the discharge of any liens or encumbrances) as may be specified in
such instructions; (iii) approve as satisfactory to it all matters required by
the terms of the Lease and the other Operative Documents to be satisfactory to
the Owner Trustee, it being understood that without written instructions of the
Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee shall not approve any such matter as
satisfactory to it; and (iv) subject to the rights of Lessee under the
Operative Documents, after the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease,
convey all of the Owner Trustee's right, title and interest in and to the
Aircraft for such amount, on such terms and to such purchaser or purchasers as
shall be designated in such instructions, or lease the Aircraft on a net lease
basis on such terms as shall be set forth in such instructions or deliver the
Aircraft to the Owner Participant in accordance with such instructions. In the
event that the Owner Trustee is unsure of the application of any provision of
this Trust Agreement or any other agreement relating to the transactions
contemplated hereby, the Owner Trustee
11
AF-1
16
may request and rely upon instructions of the Owner Participant.
Section 5.03. Indemnification. The Owner Trustee shall not
be required to take or refrain from taking any action under Section 5.01 or
5.02 (other than the giving of notices required of the Owner Trustee therein)
unless the Owner Trustee shall have been indemnified by the Owner Participant,
in manner and form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee, against any liability,
cost or expense (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) which may
be incurred in connection therewith; and, if the Owner Participant shall have
directed the Owner Trustee to take or refrain from taking any such action, the
Owner Participant agrees to furnish such indemnity as shall be required and, in
addition (to the extent not otherwise paid pursuant to the Participation
Agreement or the Lease), to pay the reasonable fees and charges of the Owner
Trustee for the services performed or to be performed by it pursuant to such
direction. The Owner Trustee shall not be required to take any action under
Section 5.01 or 5.02 if the Owner Trustee shall reasonably determine, or shall
have been advised by counsel, that such action is contrary to the terms of any
of the Operative Documents to which the Owner Trustee is a party, or is
otherwise contrary to law.
Section 5.04. No Duties Except as Specified in Trust
Agreement or Instructions. The Owner Trustee shall not have any duty or
obligation to manage, control, use, sell, dispose of or otherwise deal with the
Aircraft or any other part of the Trust Estate, or otherwise to take or refrain
from taking any action under, or in connection with any of the Operative
Documents to which the Owner Trustee is a party, except as expressly required
by the terms of any of the Operative Documents to which the Owner Trustee is a
party, or (to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of the Trust
Indenture) as expressly provided by the terms hereof or in written instructions
from the Owner Participant received pursuant to the terms of Section 5.01 or
5.02, and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Trust
Agreement against the Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee nevertheless agrees
that it will, in its individual capacity and at its own cost and expense (but
without any right of indemnity in respect of any such cost or expense under
Section 7.01) promptly take such action as may be necessary duly to discharge
and satisfy in full (i) all Lessor's Liens attributable to the
12
AF-1
17
Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any Liens (other than Lessor's
Liens attributable to it in its individual capacity) created as a result of its
breach of any of its obligations under this Trust Agreement (subject to the
limitations on the liability of the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity
set forth in Section 6.01) on any part of the Trust Estate, or on any
properties of the Owner Trustee assigned, pledged or mortgaged as part of the
Trust Estate, which arise from acts of the Owner Trustee in its individual
capacity, except the lien created under the Trust Indenture, the rights of
Lessee under the Lease and the rights of the Owner Participant hereunder, and
(iii) any other liens or encumbrances attributable to the Owner Trustee in its
individual capacity on any part of the Trust Estate which result from claims
against the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity unrelated to the ownership
of the Aircraft, the administration of the Trust Estate or the transactions
contemplated by the Operative Documents.
Section 5.05. No Action Except Under Specified Documents or
Instructions. The Owner Trustee shall have no power or authority to, and the
Owner Trustee agrees that it will not, manage, control, use, sell, dispose of
or otherwise deal with the Aircraft or any other part of the Trust Estate
except (i) as expressly required by the terms of any of the Operative Documents
to which the Owner Trustee is a party, (ii) as expressly provided by the terms
hereof, or (iii) as expressly provided in written instructions from the Owner
Participant pursuant to Section 5.01 or 5.02, but subject always to the
provisions of, and the lien created by, the Trust Indenture.
ARTICLE VI

to which the Owner Trustee is a party, and (v) taxes, fees or other charges on,

Lessee and shall be in compliance with the last sentence of Section 5.04 hereof
and that the Aircraft shall during the Term be free of Lessor's Liens
attributable to it in its individual capacity, or (b) any representation or
warranty as to the validity, legality or enforceability of this Trust Agreement
or any other Operative Document to which the Owner Trustee is a party, or any
other document or instrument, or as to the correctness of any statement
contained in any thereof except to the extent that any such statement is
expressly made herein or therein as a representation by the Owner Trustee in
its individual capacity and except that the Owner Trustee in its individual

15
AF-1
20
Agreement that such an instrument will be) duly executed and delivered by one

this Trust Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the
institution acting as the Owner Trustee and constitutes the legal, valid and

certificate, report, opinion, bond or other document or paper reasonably
believed by it to be genuine and reasonably believed by it to be signed by the
proper party or parties. Unless other evidence in respect thereof is
specifically prescribed herein, any request, direction, order or demand of the
Owner Participant, Lessee or the Indenture Trustee mentioned herein or in any
of the other Operative Documents to which the Owner Trustee is a party shall be
sufficiently evidenced by written instruments signed by a person purporting to

ascertainment of which is not specifically described herein, the Owner Trustee
may for all purposes hereof rely on a certificate signed by an officer of
Lessee or the Owner Participant or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be,
as to such fact or matter, and such certificate shall constitute full
protection to the Owner Trustee for any action taken or omitted to be taken by
it in good faith in reliance thereon.
Section 6.06. Not Acting in Individual Capacity. In acting
hereunder, the Owner Trustee acts solely as trustee and not in its individual
capacity except as otherwise expressly provided herein; and, except as may be

Trustee. The Owner Participant hereby agrees, whether or not any of the
transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, to assume liability for,
and does hereby indemnify, protect, save and keep harmless the Owner Trustee in
its individual capacity, and its successors, assigns, legal representatives,
agents and servants, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, taxes (excluding any taxes payable by the Owner
Trustee in its individual capacity on or measured by any compensation received
by the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity for its services hereunder),
claims, actions or suits or reasonable costs, expenses or disbursements
(including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses) of any kind
and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against
the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity (whether or not also indemnified
against by Lessee under the Lease or under the Participation Agreement or also
indemnified against by the Manufacturer or any other Person) in any way
relating to or arising out of this Trust Agreement or any of the Operative
Documents or the enforcement of any of the terms of any thereof, or in any way
relating to or arising out of the manufacture, purchase, acceptance, rejection,
ownership, delivery, lease, possession, use, operation, condition, sale, return
or other disposition of the Aircraft or any Engine (including, without
limitation, latent and other defects, whether or not discoverable, and any
claim for patent, trademark or copyright infringement), or in any way relating
to or arising out of the administration of the Trust Estate or the action or
inaction of the Owner Trustee hereunder, except (a) in the case of willful
misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Owner Trustee either as
trustee or in its individual capacity in the performance or nonperformance of
its duties hereunder or (b) those resulting from the inaccuracy of any
representation or warranty of the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity (or
from the failure of the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity to perform any
covenant) in Section 6.03, or in any of the Operative Documents, or (c) those
arising or resulting from any of the matters described in the last sentence of
Section 6.01, or (d) those resulting from

Indenture Estate or the Trust Estate (except to the extent, if any, that the
Owner Trustee has been reimbursed by Lessee pursuant to the Lease for amounts
covered by the indemnities contained in this Section 7.01). The indemnities
contained in this Section 7.01 shall survive the termination of this Trust
Agreement. In addition, if necessary, the Owner Trustee shall be entitled to
indemnification from the Trust Estate, subject however to the provisions of
Section 4.01 hereof and the lien created under the Trust Indenture, for any
liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, tax, claim, action, suit, cost,
expense or disbursement indemnified against pursuant to this Section 7.01 to
the extent not reimbursed by Lessee, the Owner Participant or others, but
without releasing any of them from their respective agreements of
reimbursement; and to secure the same the Owner Trustee shall have a lien on
the Trust Estate, subject however to the provisions of Section 4.01 hereof and
the lien created under the Trust Indenture, which lien of the Owner Trustee
shall be prior to any interest therein of the Owner Participant.

Participant of its right, title or interest in and to this Trust Agreement or
any of the Operative Documents to which the Owner Trustee is a party or any
proceeds therefrom.

Owner Trustee may resign at any time without cause by giving at least 60 days'
prior written notice to the Owner Participant, the Indenture Trustee and

Section 9(d) of the Participation Agreement, the Owner Participant may at any
time remove the Owner Trustee without cause by a notice in writing delivered to
the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and Lessee, such removal to be

under Section 9.01(b). In the case of the resignation or removal of the Owner
Trustee, subject to Section 9(d) of the Participation Agreement, the Owner
Participant may appoint a successor Owner Trustee by an instrument in writing
signed by the Owner Participant. If a successor Owner Trustee shall not have
been appointed within 30 days after such notice of resignation or removal, the
Owner Trustee, Lessee 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 within one year from the date of the appointment by such court.
(b) Execution and Delivery of Documents, etc. Any successor
Owner Trustee, however appointed, shall execute and deliver to the predecessor
Owner 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 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, upon the
trusts herein expressed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers and
trusts of such predecessor Owner Trustee,
20
AF-1
25
and such predecessor Owner Trustee shall duly assign, transfer, deliver and
pay over to such successor Owner Trustee all monies or other property then
held by such predecessor Owner Trustee upon the trusts herein expressed.
Upon the appointment of any successor Owner Trustee hereunder, the predecessor
Owner Trustee will complete, execute and deliver to the successor Trustee such
documents as are necessary to cause registration of the Aircraft included in
the Trust Estate to be transferred upon the records of the Federal Aviation
Administration, or other governmental authority having jurisdiction, into the
name of the successor Owner Trustee.
(c) Qualification. Any successor Owner Trustee, however
appointed, shall be a "citizen of the United States" within the meaning of
Section 101(16) of the Federal Aviation Act, and shall also be a bank or trust
company organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof
having a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 (or having a
combined capital and surplus of at least $25,000,000 and the obligations of

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 and customary terms.
(d) Merger, etc. 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 Section 9.01(c), be the Owner Trustee hereunder without
further act.
Section 9.02. Co-Trustees and Separate Trustees. If at any
time or times it shall be necessary or prudent in order to conform to any
applicable law of any jurisdiction in which all or any part of the Trust Estate
is located, or the Owner Trustee shall be advised by counsel that it is so
necessary or prudent in the interest of the Owner Participant or the Owner
Trustee, or the Owner Trustee shall have been directed to do so by the Owner
Participant, the Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant shall, subject to
Section 9(d) of the Participation Agreement,
21
AF-1
26
execute and deliver an agreement supplemental hereto and all other instruments
and agreements necessary or proper to constitute another bank or trust company
or one or more persons (any and all of which shall be a "citizen of the United
States" as defined in Section 101(16) of the Federal Aviation Act) approved by
the Owner Trustee, Lessee and the Owner Participant, either to act as
co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Owner Trustee, or to act as
separate trustee or trustees hereunder (any such co-trustee or separate trustee
being herein sometimes referred to as an "additional trustee"). In the event
(i) the Owner Participant shall not have joined in the execution of such
agreements supplemental hereto within ten days after the receipt of a written
request from the Owner Trustee so to do, or (ii) a Lease Event of Default shall
occur and be continuing, the Owner Trustee may act under the foregoing
provisions of this Section 9.02 without the concurrence of the Owner
Participant; and the Owner Participant hereby appoints the Owner Trustee its
agent and attorney-in-fact to act for it under the foregoing provisions of this
Section 9.02 in either of such contingencies.

permitted by law, be appointed and act, and the Owner Trustee and its
successors shall act, subject to the following provisions and conditions:

the Owner Trustee in respect of the custody, control and management of
monies, the Aircraft or documents authorized to be delivered hereunder
shall be exercised solely by the corporation designated as the Owner
Trustee in the first paragraph of this Trust Agreement, or its
successors as the Owner Trustee hereunder;
(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 corporation designated
as the Owner Trustee in the first paragraph of this Trust Agreement or
its successor as the Owner Trustee, and such additional 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
(including the holding of title to the Trust Estate), the Owner
Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified
22
AF-1
27
to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties
and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such additional
trustee or trustees;
(C) no power given to, or which it is provided hereby may be
exercised by, any such additional trustee or trustees shall be
exercised hereunder by such additional trustee or trustees, except
jointly with, or with the consent in writing of, the corporation
designated as the Owner Trustee in this Trust Agreement or its
successor as the Owner Trustee, anything herein contained to the
contrary notwithstanding;
(D) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason
of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder;
(E) subject to Section 9(d) of the Participation Agreement,
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 to act for it in such
connection in such contingency; and
(F) no appointing 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 Trust Indenture or affect the
interests of the Indenture Trustee or the holders of the Certificates
in the Trust Estate.

execution by the Owner Trustee of any document entered into pursuant to Section

Trustee to mail such conformed copy shall not impair or affect the validity of
such document.

written request pursuant to Section 10.01 shall be required to enable the Owner
Trustee to enter into any Lease Supplement with Lessee pursuant to Section 3.01
or Section 3.04 or to enter into any Trust Agreement and Indenture Supplement
with the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 3.04.

such amounts shall upon receipt be paid over to the Indenture Trustee without
deduction, set-off or adjustment of any kind) for distribution in accordance
with the provisions of Article III of the Trust Indenture; provided, however,
that any payments received by the Owner Trustee from (i) Lessee or the Owner
Participant with respect to the Owner Trustee's fees and disbursements, or (ii)

Owner Trustee shall use reasonable efforts to cause such funds to be
transferred by wire transfer on the same day as received, but in any case not
later than the next succeeding Business Day), and (ii) the Indenture Trustee

or both, would constitute a Lease Event of Default or an Indenture Event of
Default), the Owner Trustee shall give to the Owner Participant and Lessee
prompt telephonic or telex notice thereof followed by prompt confirmation
thereof by certified mail, postage prepaid. Subject to the terms of Section
5.03, the Owner Trustee shall take
10
AF-2
15
such action or shall refrain from taking such action, not inconsistent with the
provisions of the Operative Documents, with respect to such Lease Event of
Default or Indenture Event of Default or event as the Owner Trustee shall be
directed in writing by the Owner Participant. For all purposes of this Trust
Agreement and the Lease, the Owner Trustee shall not be deemed to have
knowledge of a Lease Event of Default or an Indenture Event of Default or an
event that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would
constitute a Lease Event of Default or an Indenture Event of Default unless
notified in writing thereof in the manner and at the address set forth in
Section 11.05 or unless an officer in the Corporate Trust Administration of the
Owner Trustee has actual knowledge thereof.
Section 5.02. Action Upon Instructions. Subject in all
respects to the terms of Sections 5.01 and 5.03 and to the terms of the other
Operative Documents, upon the written instructions at any time and from time to
time of the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee will take such of the
following actions as may be specified in such instructions: (i) give such
notice or direction or exercise such right, remedy or power hereunder or under
any of the Operative Documents to which the Owner Trustee is a party, or in
respect of all or any part of the Trust Estate, as shall be specified in such
instructions; (ii) take such action to preserve or protect the Trust Estate
(including the discharge of any liens or encumbrances) as may be specified in
such instructions; (iii) approve as satisfactory to it all matters required by
the terms of the Lease and the other Operative Documents to be satisfactory to
the Owner Trustee, it being understood that without written instructions of the
Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee shall not approve any such matter as
satisfactory to it; and (iv) subject to the rights of Lessee under the
Operative Documents, after the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease,
convey all of the Owner Trustee's right, title and interest in and to the
Aircraft for such amount, on such terms and to such purchaser or purchasers as
shall be designated in such instructions, or lease the Aircraft on a net lease
basis on such terms as shall be set forth in such instructions or deliver the
Aircraft to the Owner Participant in accordance with such instructions. In the

contemplated hereby, the Owner Trustee

may request and rely upon instructions of the Owner Participant.
Section 5.03. Indemnification. The Owner Trustee shall not
be required to take or refrain from taking any action under Section 5.01 or

unless the Owner Trustee shall have been indemnified by the Owner Participant,
in manner and form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee, against any liability,
cost or expense (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) which may
be incurred in connection therewith; and, if the Owner Participant shall have
directed the Owner Trustee to take or refrain from taking any such action, the
Owner Participant agrees to furnish such indemnity as shall be required and, in
addition (to the extent not otherwise paid pursuant to the Participation
Agreement or the Lease), to pay the reasonable fees and charges of the Owner
Trustee for the services performed or to be performed by it pursuant to such
direction. The Owner Trustee shall not be required to take any action under
Section 5.01 or 5.02 if the Owner Trustee shall reasonably determine, or shall
have been advised by counsel, that such action is contrary to the terms of any
of the Operative Documents to which the Owner Trustee is a party, or is
otherwise contrary to law.
Section 5.04. No Duties Except as Specified in Trust
Agreement or Instructions. The Owner Trustee shall not have any duty or
obligation to manage, control, use, sell, dispose of or otherwise deal with the
Aircraft or any other part of the Trust Estate, or otherwise to take or refrain
from taking any action under, or in connection with any of the Operative
Documents to which the Owner Trustee is a party, except as expressly required
by the terms of any of the Operative Documents to which the Owner Trustee is a
party, or (to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of the Trust
Indenture) as expressly provided by the terms hereof or in written instructions
from the Owner Participant received pursuant to the terms of Section 5.01 or
5.02, and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Trust
Agreement against the Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee nevertheless agrees
that it will, in its individual capacity and at its own cost and expense (but
without any right of indemnity in respect of any such cost or expense under
Section 7.01) promptly take such action as may be necessary duly to discharge
and satisfy in full (i) all Lessor's Liens attributable to the
12
AF-2
17
Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any Liens (other than Lessor's
Liens attributable to it in its individual capacity) created as a result of its
breach of any of its obligations under this Trust Agreement (subject to the
limitations on the liability of the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity
set forth in Section 6.01) on any part of the Trust Estate, or on any
properties of the Owner Trustee assigned, pledged or mortgaged as part of the
Trust Estate, which arise from acts of the Owner Trustee in its individual
capacity, except the lien created under the Trust Indenture, the rights of
Lessee under the Lease and the rights of the Owner Participant hereunder, and
(iii) any other liens or encumbrances attributable to the Owner Trustee in its
individual capacity on any part of the Trust Estate which result from claims
against the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity unrelated to the ownership
of the Aircraft, the administration of the Trust Estate or the transactions
contemplated by the Operative Documents.
Section 5.05. No Action Except Under Specified Documents or
Instructions. The Owner Trustee shall have no power or authority to, and the
Owner Trustee agrees that it will not, manage, control, use, sell, dispose of
or otherwise deal with the Aircraft or any other part of the Trust Estate
except (i) as expressly required by the terms of any of the Operative Documents
to which the Owner Trustee is a party, (ii) as expressly provided by the terms
hereof, or (iii) as expressly provided in written instructions from the Owner
Participant pursuant to Section 5.01 or 5.02, but subject always to the
provisions of, and the lien created by, the Trust Indenture.

and that the Aircraft shall during the Term be free of Lessor's Liens
attributable to it in its individual capacity, or (b) any representation or
warranty as to the validity, legality or enforceability of this Trust Agreement
or any other Operative Document to which the Owner Trustee is a party, or any

claims, actions or suits or reasonable costs, expenses or disbursements
(including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses) of any kind

against by Lessee under the Lease or under the Participation Agreement or also
indemnified against by the Manufacturer or any other Person) in any way
relating to or arising out of this Trust Agreement or any of the Operative
Documents or the enforcement of any of the terms of any thereof, or in any way
relating to or arising out of the manufacture, purchase, acceptance, rejection,
ownership, delivery, lease, possession, use, operation, condition, sale, return
or other disposition of the Aircraft or any Engine (including, without

covenant) in Section 6.03, or in any of the Operative Documents, or (c) those
arising or resulting from any of the matters described in the last sentence of

Indenture Estate or the Trust Estate (except to the extent, if any, that the
Owner Trustee has been reimbursed by Lessee pursuant to the Lease for amounts
covered by the indemnities contained in this Section 7.01). The indemnities
contained in this Section 7.01 shall survive the termination of this Trust
Agreement. In addition, if necessary, the Owner Trustee shall be entitled to
indemnification from the Trust Estate, subject however to the provisions of
Section 4.01 hereof and the lien created under the Trust Indenture, for any
liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, tax, claim, action, suit, cost,
expense or disbursement indemnified against pursuant to this Section 7.01 to
the extent not reimbursed by Lessee, the Owner Participant or others, but
without releasing any of them from their respective agreements of
reimbursement; and to secure the same the Owner Trustee shall have a lien on
the Trust Estate, subject however to the provisions of Section 4.01 hereof and
the lien created under the Trust Indenture, which lien of the Owner Trustee
shall be prior to any interest therein of the Owner Participant.

under Section 9.01(b). In the case of the resignation or removal of the Owner
Trustee, subject to Section 9(d) of the Participation Agreement, the Owner
Participant may appoint a successor Owner Trustee by an instrument in writing

been appointed within 30 days after such notice of resignation or removal, the
Owner Trustee, Lessee 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 within one year from the date of the appointment by such court.
(b) Execution and Delivery of Documents, etc. Any successor
Owner Trustee, however appointed, shall execute and deliver to the predecessor
Owner 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 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, upon the
trusts herein expressed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers and trusts
of such predecessor Owner Trust-
20
AF-2
25
ee, and such predecessor Owner Trustee shall duly assign, transfer, deliver and
pay over to such successor Owner Trustee all monies or other property then held
by such predecessor Owner Trustee upon the trusts herein expressed. Upon the
appointment of any successor Owner Trustee hereunder, the predecessor Owner
Trustee will complete, execute and deliver to the successor Trustee such
documents as are necessary to cause registration of the Aircraft included in
the Trust Estate to be transferred upon the records of the Federal Aviation
Administration, or other governmental authority having jurisdiction, into the
name of the successor Owner Trustee.
(c) Qualification. Any successor Owner Trustee, however
appointed, shall be a "citizen of the United States" within the meaning of
Section 101(16) of the Federal Aviation Act, and shall also be a bank or trust

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 and customary terms.
(d) Merger, etc. 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 Section 9.01(c), be the Owner Trustee hereunder without
further act.
Section 9.02. Co-Trustees and Separate Trustees. If at any
time or times it shall be necessary or prudent in order to conform to any
applicable law of any jurisdiction in which all or any part of the Trust Estate
is located, or the Owner Trustee shall be advised by counsel that it is so
necessary or prudent in the interest of the Owner Participant or the Owner

received as part of the Trust Estate and for the application or distribution of

14
Trustee (and the Owner Trustee shall use reasonable efforts to cause such funds
to be transferred by wire transfer on the same day as received, but in any case
not later than the next succeeding Business Day), and (ii) the Indenture
Trustee pursuant to this Article IV by paying the amount to be distributed to

ARTICLE V
DUTIES OF THE OWNER TRUSTEE
Section 5.01. Notice of Event of Default. If the Owner
Trustee shall have knowledge of a Lease Event of Default or an Indenture Event
of Default (or an event that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice
or both, would constitute a Lease Event of Default or an Indenture Event of
Default), the Owner Trustee shall give to the Owner Participant and Lessee
prompt telephonic or telex notice thereof followed by prompt confirmation
thereof by certified mail, postage prepaid. Subject to the terms of Section
5.03, the Owner Trustee shall take such action or shall refrain from taking
such action, not
10
AF-3
15
inconsistent with the provisions of the Operative Documents, with respect to
such Lease Event of Default or Indenture Event of Default or event as the Owner
Trustee shall be directed in writing by the Owner Participant. For all
purposes of this Trust Agreement and the Lease, the Owner Trustee shall not be
deemed to have knowledge of a Lease Event of Default or an Indenture Event of
Default or an event that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or
both, would constitute a Lease Event of Default or an Indenture Event of
Default unless notified in writing thereof in the manner and at the address set
forth in Section 11.05 or unless an officer in the Corporate Trust
Administration of the Owner Trustee has actual knowledge thereof.
Section 5.02. Action Upon Instructions. Subject in all
respects to the terms of Sections 5.01 and 5.03 and to the terms of the other
Operative Documents, upon the written instructions at any time and from time to
time of the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee will take such of the
following actions as may be specified in such instructions: (i) give such
notice or direction or exercise such right, remedy or power hereunder or under
any of the Operative Documents to which the Owner Trustee is a party, or in
respect of all or any part of the Trust Estate, as shall be specified in such
instructions; (ii) take such action to preserve or protect the Trust Estate
(including the discharge of any liens or encumbrances) as may be specified in
such instructions; (iii) approve as satisfactory to it all matters required by
the terms of the Lease and the other Operative Documents to be satisfactory to
the Owner Trustee, it being understood that without written instructions of the
Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee shall not approve any such matter as
satisfactory to it; and (iv) subject to the rights of Lessee under the
Operative Documents, after the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease,
convey all of the Owner Trustee's right, title and interest in and to the
Aircraft for such amount, on such terms and to such purchaser or purchasers as
shall be designated in such instructions, or lease the Aircraft on a net lease
basis on such terms as shall be set forth in such instructions or deliver the
Aircraft to the Owner Participant in accordance with such instructions. In the
event that the Owner Trustee is unsure of the application of any provision of
this Trust Agreement or any other agreement relating to the transactions
contemplated hereby, the Owner Trustee
11
AF-3
16
may request and rely upon instructions of the Owner Participant.
Section 5.03. Indemnification. The Owner Trustee shall not
be required to take or refrain from taking any action under Section 5.01 or
5.02 (other than the giving of notices required of the Owner Trustee therein)
unless the Owner Trustee shall have been indemnified by the Owner Participant,
in manner and form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee, against any liability,
cost or expense (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) which may
be incurred in connection therewith; and, if the Owner Participant shall have
directed the Owner Trustee to take or refrain from taking any such action, the
Owner Participant agrees to furnish such indemnity as shall be required and, in
addition (to the extent not otherwise paid pursuant to the Participation
Agreement or the Lease), to pay the reasonable fees and charges of the Owner
Trustee for the services performed or to be performed by it pursuant to such
direction. The Owner Trustee shall not be required to take any action under
Section 5.01 or 5.02 if the Owner Trustee shall reasonably determine, or shall
have been advised by counsel, that such action is contrary to the terms of any
of the Operative Documents to which the Owner Trustee is a party, or is
otherwise contrary to law.
Section 5.04. No Duties Except as Specified in Trust
Agreement or Instructions. The Owner Trustee shall not have any duty or
obligation to manage, control, use, sell, dispose of or otherwise deal with the
Aircraft or any other part of the Trust Estate, or otherwise to take or refrain
from taking any action under, or in connection with any of the Operative
Documents to which the Owner Trustee is a party, except as expressly required
by the terms of any of the Operative Documents to which the Owner Trustee is a
party, or (to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of the Trust
Indenture) as expressly provided by the terms hereof or in written instructions
from the Owner Participant received pursuant to the terms of Section 5.01 or
5.02, and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Trust
Agreement against the Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee nevertheless agrees
that it will, in its individual capacity and at its own cost and expense (but
without any right of indemnity in respect of any such cost or expense under
Section 7.01) promptly take such action as may be necessary duly to discharge
and satisfy in full (i) all Lessor's Liens attributable to the
12
AF-3
17
Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any Liens (other than Lessor's
Liens attributable to it in its individual capacity) created as a result of its
breach of any of its obligations under this Trust Agreement (subject to the
limitations on the liability of the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity
set forth in Section 6.01) on any part of the Trust Estate, or on any
properties of the Owner Trustee assigned, pledged or mortgaged as part of the
Trust Estate, which arise from acts of the Owner Trustee in its individual
capacity, except the lien created under the Trust Indenture, the rights of
Lessee under the Lease and the rights of the Owner Participant hereunder, and
(iii) any other liens or encumbrances attributable to the Owner Trustee in its
individual capacity on any part of the Trust Estate which result from claims
against the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity unrelated to the ownership
of the Aircraft, the administration of the Trust Estate or the transactions
contemplated by the Operative Documents.
Section 5.05. No Action Except Under Specified Documents or
Instructions. The Owner Trustee shall have no power or authority to, and the
Owner Trustee agrees that it will not, manage, control, use, sell, dispose of
or otherwise deal with the Aircraft or any other part of the Trust Estate
except (i) as expressly required by the terms of any of the Operative Documents
to which the Owner Trustee is a party, (ii) as expressly provided by the terms
hereof, or (iii) as expressly provided in written instructions from the Owner
Participant pursuant to Section 5.01 or 5.02, but subject always to the
provisions of, and the lien created by, the Trust Indenture.
ARTICLE VI

to which the Owner Trustee is a party, and (v) taxes, fees or other charges on,

the Owner Trustee as compensation for its services rendered as the Owner
Trustee; provided, however, that the failure to act or perform in the absence

Owner Participant pursuant to the last sentence of Section 5.02 shall not
constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence for purposes of clause (i) of
this Section 6.01.
Section 6.02. Absence of Certain Duties. Except in
accordance with written instructions furnished pursuant to Section 5.01, 5.02
and except as provided in, and without limiting the generality of, Section 5.04
and the last sentence of Section 9.01(b), the Owner Trustee shall have no duty
(i) to see to any registration of the Aircraft or any recording or filing of
the Lease, this Trust Agreement, the Trust Indenture or of any supplement to
any thereof or to see to the maintenance of any such registration, rerecording
or refiling, except that the Owner Trustee shall notify the Federal Aviation

47.45 and the Owner Trustee shall (x) take such other action as may be required
of the Owner Trustee to maintain the registration of the Aircraft in the name
of the Owner Trustee under the Federal Aviation Act or, to the extent the

information for that purpose is supplied by Lessee pursuant to any of the
Operative Documents, complete and timely submit any and all reports relating to
the Aircraft which may from time to time be required by the Federal Aviation
Administration or any government or governmental authority having jurisdiction,
(ii) to see to any insurance on the Aircraft or to effect or maintain any such

AF-3
19

capacity except as otherwise expressly provided herein; and, except as may be

agents and servants, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations,

claims, actions or suits or reasonable costs, expenses or disbursements
(including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses) of any kind
and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against
the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity (whether or not also indemnified
against by Lessee under the Lease or under the Participation Agreement or also
indemnified against by the Manufacturer or any other Person) in any way
relating to or arising out of this Trust Agreement or any of the Operative
Documents or the enforcement of any of the terms of any thereof, or in any way
relating to or arising out of the manufacture, purchase, acceptance, rejection,
ownership, delivery, lease, possession, use, operation, condition, sale, return
or other disposition of the Aircraft or any Engine (including, without
limitation, latent and other defects, whether or not discoverable, and any
claim for patent, trademark or copyright infringement), or in any way relating
to or arising out of the administration of the Trust Estate or the action or
inaction of the Owner Trustee hereunder, except (a) in the case of willful

covenant) in Section 6.03, or in any of the Operative Documents, or (c) those
arising or resulting from any of the matters described in the last sentence of

Indenture Estate or the Trust Estate (except to the extent, if any, that the
Owner Trustee has been reimbursed by Lessee pursuant to the Lease for amounts
covered by the indemnities contained in this Section 7.01). The indemnities
contained in this Section 7.01 shall survive the termination of this Trust
Agreement. In addition, if necessary, the Owner Trustee shall be entitled to
indemnification from the Trust Estate, subject however to the provisions of
Section 4.01 hereof and the lien created under the Trust Indenture, for any
liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, tax, claim, action, suit, cost,
expense or disbursement indemnified against pursuant to this Section 7.01 to
the extent not reimbursed by Lessee, the Owner Participant or others, but
without releasing any of them from their respective agreements of
reimbursement; and to secure the same the Owner Trustee shall have a lien on
the Trust Estate, subject however to the provisions of Section 4.01 hereof and
the lien created under the Trust Indenture, which lien of the Owner Trustee
shall be prior to any interest therein of the Owner Participant.

Participant of its right, title or interest in and to this Trust Agreement or
any of the Operative Documents to which the Owner Trustee is a party or any

Section 9(d) of the Participation Agreement, the Owner Participant may at any
time remove the Owner Trustee without cause by a notice in writing delivered to
the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and Lessee, such removal to be
effective upon the acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner Trustee
under Section 9.01(b). In the case of the resignation or removal of the Owner
Trustee, subject to Section 9(d) of the Participation Agreement, the Owner
Participant may appoint a successor Owner Trustee by an instrument in writing
signed by the Owner Participant. If a successor Owner Trustee shall not have
been appointed within 30 days after such notice of resignation or removal, the
Owner Trustee, Lessee 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 within one year from the date of the appointment by such court.
(b) Execution and Delivery of Documents, etc. Any successor
Owner Trustee, however appointed, shall execute and deliver to the predecessor
Owner 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 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, upon the
trusts herein expressed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers and trusts
of such predecessor Owner Trust-
20
AF-3
25
ee, and such predecessor Owner Trustee shall duly assign, transfer, deliver and
pay over to such successor Owner Trustee all monies or other property then held
by such predecessor Owner Trustee upon the trusts herein expressed. Upon the
appointment of any successor Owner Trustee hereunder, the predecessor Owner
Trustee will complete, execute and deliver to the successor Trustee such
documents as are necessary to cause registration of the Aircraft included in
the Trust Estate to be transferred upon the records of the Federal Aviation
Administration, or other governmental authority having jurisdiction, into the
name of the successor Owner Trustee.
(c) Qualification. Any successor Owner Trustee, however
appointed, shall be a "citizen of the United States" within the meaning of
Section 101(16) of the Federal Aviation Act, and shall also be a bank or trust
company organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof
having a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 (or having a
combined capital and surplus of at least $25,000,000 and the obligations of

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 and customary terms.
(d) Merger, etc. 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 Section 9.01(c), be the Owner Trustee hereunder without
further act.
Section 9.02. Co-Trustees and Separate Trustees. If at any
time or times it shall be necessary or prudent in order to conform to any
applicable law of any jurisdiction in which all or any part of the Trust Estate
is located, or the Owner Trustee shall be advised by counsel that it is so
necessary or prudent in the interest of the Owner Participant or the Owner
Trustee, or the Owner Trustee shall have been directed to do so by the Owner
Participant, the Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant shall, subject to
Section 9(d) of the Participation Agree-
21
AF-3
26
ment, execute and deliver an agreement supplemental hereto and all other
instruments and agreements necessary or proper to constitute another bank or
trust company or one or more persons (any and all of which shall be a "citizen
of the United States" as defined in Section 101(16) of the Federal Aviation
Act) approved by the Owner Trustee, Lessee and the Owner Participant, either to
act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Owner Trustee, or to act as
separate trustee or trustees hereunder (any such co-trustee or separate
trustee being herein sometimes referred to as an "additional trustee"). In the
event (i) the Owner Participant shall not have joined in the execution of such
agreements supplemental hereto within ten days after the receipt of a written
request from the Owner Trustee so to do, or (ii) a Lease Event of Default shall
occur and be continuing, the Owner Trustee may act under the foregoing
provisions of this Section 9.02 without the concurrence of the Owner
Participant; and the Owner Participant hereby appoints the Owner Trustee its
agent and attorney-in-fact to act for it under the foregoing provisions of this
Section 9.02 in either of such contingencies.

permitted by law, be appointed and act, and the Owner Trustee and its
successors shall act, subject to the following provisions and conditions:

the Owner Trustee in respect of the custody, control and management of
monies, the Aircraft or documents authorized to be delivered hereunder
shall be exercised solely by the corporation designated as the Owner
Trustee in the first paragraph of this Trust Agreement, or its
successors as the Owner Trustee hereunder;
(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 corporation designated
as the Owner Trustee in the first paragraph of this Trust Agreement or
its successor as the Owner Trustee, and such additional 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
(including the holding of title to the Trust Estate), the Owner
Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified
22
AF-3
27
to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers,
duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such
additional trustee or trustees;
(C) no power given to, or which it is provided hereby may be
exercised by, any such additional trustee or trustees shall be
exercised hereunder by such additional trustee or trustees, except
jointly with, or with the consent in writing of, the corporation
designated as the Owner Trustee in this Trust Agreement or its
successor as the Owner Trustee, anything herein contained to the
contrary notwithstanding;
(D) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason
of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder;
(E) subject to Section 9(d) of the Participation Agreement,
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 to act for it in such
connection in such contingency; and
(F) no appointing 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 Trust Indenture or affect the
interests of the Indenture Trustee or the holders of the Certificates
in the Trust Estate.

written request pursuant to Section 10.01 shall be required to enable the Owner
Trustee to enter into any Lease Supplement with Lessee pursuant to Section 3.01

commence on the Delivery Date and end on the Base Lease Expiration Date.
(b) Basic Rent. Lessee hereby agrees to pay Lessor Basic

will bear interest at the Assumed Debt Rate for such Certificate throughout the
Term, Lessor and Lessee recognize that the actual rate of interest on each
Certificate may be a rate from time to time which may be greater or less than
the Assumed Debt Rate for such Certificate and that the related basis upon
which interest on the Certificates will be computed will be as provided in the
Trust Indenture. Accordingly, each installment of Basic Rent shall be
increased or decreased,

Period Date on the Certificates for the period from and including the Lease
Period Date next preceding such Lease Period Date to but excluding such Lease
Period Date, determined as provided in the Trust Indenture, and (ii) the

payable on such Lease Period Date if each Certificate had borne interest at the
Assumed Debt Rate for such Certificate for the period from and including the
Lease Period Date next preceding such Lease Period Date to but excluding such
Lease Period Date. If, as of any Lease Period Date on which Basic Rent is
payable, the amount determined in accordance with clause (i) of the immediately
preceding sentence shall be greater than the amount determined in accordance
with clause (ii) of such sentence, the amount of Basic Rent payable on such
Lease Period Date shall be increased by the Rent Differential Amount. If, as
of any Lease Period Date on which Basic Rent is payable, the amount determined
in accordance with such clause (ii) shall be greater than the amount determined
in accordance with such clause (i), the amount of Basic Rent due on such Lease
Period Date shall be decreased by the Rent Differential Amount. The interest
actually accruing with respect to the Certificates shall be as specified by the
notification to be delivered by the Indenture Trustee to Lessor, Lessee and the
Owner Participant as provided in Section 1(c) of the Participation Agreement.
Anything contained herein or in the Participation Agreement to
the contrary notwithstanding, each installment of Basic Rent (both before and
after any adjustment pursuant to Section 3(e), or any deduction pursuant to
Section 3(f)), as well as the amount of any Prepaid Rent paid pursuant to
Section 3(f), together with any payment made by the Owner Participant under
Section 16(a) of the Participation Agreement, shall be, under any circumstances
and in any event, in an amount at least equal to, as of the due date of such
installment, or Base Lease Commencement Date, as the case may be, the amount of
principal of and interest on the Certificates required to be paid by Lessor
pursuant to the Trust Indenture on the due date of such installment of Basic
Rent or on the Base Lease Commencement Date, as the case may be. Further, and
anything contained herein or in the Participation Agree-
20
AF-1
25
ment to the contrary notwithstanding, Termination Value and Stipulated Loss
Value for the Aircraft (both before and after any adjustment pursuant to
Section 3(e), or any deduction pursuant to Section 3(f)) will, under any
circumstances and in any event, be an amount which, together with any other
amounts (excluding Excepted Payments) then required to be paid by Lessee
hereunder in connection therewith, will be at least equal to, as of the date of
payment thereof, the aggregate unpaid principal of the outstanding
Certificates, together with all unpaid interest thereon accrued to the date on
which such amount is paid in accordance with the terms hereof.
Basic Rent accrues or is earned with respect to each Lease
Period in accordance with Exhibit A-1 to the Rent Schedule.

or to whomsoever shall be entitled thereto, any and all Supplemental Rent
promptly as the same shall become due and owing, and in the event of any
failure on the part of Lessee to pay any Supplemental Rent, Lessor shall have
all rights, powers and remedies provided for herein or by law or in equity or
otherwise as in the case of nonpayment of Basic Rent. In addition, Lessee will
pay as Supplemental Rent (i) on demand, an amount equal to interest at the
applicable Overdue Rate on any part of any installment of Basic Rent not paid
when due for any period for which the same shall be overdue and on any payment
of Supplemental Rent not paid when due or demanded, as the case may be, for the
period until the same shall be paid, (ii) in the case of any prepayment of the
Certificates pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.14 of the Trust Indenture or
purchase of the Certificates pursuant to Section 2.13 of the Trust Indenture,
on the date the same is payable by Lessor under the Trust Indenture, an amount
equal to the Break Amount, if any, payable with respect to the Certificates and
(iii) any amounts payable by Lessor under Section 2.18 of the Trust Indenture;
provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any
Operative Document or any document or instrument relating thereto, Lessee shall
have no responsibility or liability for any amounts payable to any Loan
Participant in respect of the Break Amount, if any, payable with respect to the
Certificates, as a result of (i) a prepayment of the Certificates or a purchase
of the Certificates pursuant to Section 2.13 of the Trust Indenture as a result
of an Indenture Default that does not also constitute an Event
21
AF-1
26
of Default or (ii) an Indenture Default that does not also constitute an Event
of Default. All Supplemental Rent to be paid pursuant to this Section 3(c)
shall be payable in the type of funds and in the manner set forth in Section
3(d).
(d) Payment to Lessor. All Rent shall be paid by Lessee to
Lessor at its office at Rodney Square North, Wilmington, Delaware 19890,
Attention: Corporate Trust Administration (AA 1992 AF-1), in funds consisting
of lawful currency of the United States of America which shall be immediately
available at such office of Lessor not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City
time, on the date of payment, provided that so long as the Trust Indenture
shall not have been discharged pursuant to the terms thereof, Lessor hereby
directs, and each of Lessor and Lessee agrees, that all Rent (excluding
Excepted Property) or other sums payable to Lessor hereunder or pursuant hereto
shall be paid directly to the Indenture Trustee at the times and in funds of
the type specified in this Section 3(d) at the offices of the Indenture Trustee
at 600 Peachtree Street, N.E., Suite 900, Atlanta, Georgia 30308, Attention:
Corporate Trust Department (AA 1992 AF-1), or at such other location in the
United States as the Indenture Trustee may otherwise direct. Whenever the date
scheduled for any payment of Rent to be made hereunder shall not be a Business
Day, then such payment need not be made on such scheduled date but may be made
on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made
on such scheduled date and (provided such payment is made on such next
succeeding Business Day) no interest shall accrue on the amount of such payment
from and after such scheduled date to the time of such payment on such next
succeeding Business Day.
(e) Adjustments to Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss Value and
Termination Value. In the event that (i) the Transaction Costs (as such term
is defined in Section 18(a) of the Participation Agreement) are less or more
than 1.0% of Lessor's Cost, or (ii) prior to the acceptance of the Aircraft on
the Delivery Date: (A) there shall have occurred a Change in Tax Law and (B)
after having been advised in writing by the Owner Participant of such Change in
Tax Law and the proposed adjustment to the payments of Basic Rent resulting
therefrom, Lessee shall have waived its right under Section 11 of the
Participation Agreement to decline to proceed with the transaction, or (iii) a
refunding or refinancing as contemplated by
22
AF-1
27
Section 17 or Section 20 of the Participation Agreement occurs, or (iv) the
Delivery Date is other than June 17, 1992, or (v) if the Certificates are not
refunded or refinanced on or prior to the Base Lease Commencement Date, the
Excess Payment Amount (after adjustment for any Excess Payment Differential
Amount) is other than $2,534,836.99, then, in each such case, all payments of
Basic Rent, Excess Payment Amount and Stipulated Loss Values and Termination
Values with respect to the Term will, subject always to the penultimate
paragraph of Section 3(b), be adjusted (upwards or downwards, as the case may
be) in accordance with the provisions of Section 18 or Section 20, as
applicable, of the Participation Agreement to preserve the Owner Participant's
Net Economic Return, or the Owner Participant's Revised Net Economic Return, as
the case may be, and, to the greatest extent possible, to minimize the net
present value of the payments of Basic Rent. In addition, in the event of a
refunding or refinancing as contemplated by Section 17 or Section 20 of the
Participation Agreement, the Special Purchase Price Percentage and the Special
Purchase Option Date shall be recalculated in accordance with the provisions of
Section 18 or Section 20, as applicable, of the Participation Agreement.
(f) Prepayments of Certain Rent Payments. To the extent, if
any, that there shall not have been received by the Indenture Trustee at the
office of Indenture Trustee referred to in Section 3(d) hereof, by 1:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on the Base Lease Commencement Date from Lessor, an amount
equal to the Excess Payment Amount, Lessee shall advance to Lessor on the Base
Lease Commencement Date an amount equal to the Excess Payment Amount not so
paid (such amount being herein called "Prepaid Rent") provided that Lessee will
also pay to the Indenture Trustee, on demand, as Supplemental Rent, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Overdue Rate on any Excess
Payment Amount not paid by the Owner Participant when due for any period for
which the same shall be overdue. Any Rent prepaid pursuant to this Section
3(f) shall be offset against installments of Basic Rent in the order in which
they become due, subject to the penultimate sentence of this paragraph. Lessor
agrees to reimburse Lessee in the manner and subject to the conditions provided
in the following sentence for (x) the Prepaid Rent so paid by Lessee determined
as of the date such payment was made, plus (y) the Supplemental Rent so paid by
Lessee pursuant to this Section 3(f) plus (z) accrued interest on
23
AF-1
28
the unreimbursed portion thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Overdue Rate
plus three percent (3%) from the date such amount is paid by Lessee to but not
including the date of each such reimbursement (such amounts to be reimbursed
being herein called the "Reimbursement Amount"). So long as no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessee may with written notice to the
Owner Participant and Indenture Trustee offset (without duplication) against
each succeeding payment (other than as limited by the proviso to this sentence)
due from Lessee to Lessor in respect of Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss Value,
Termination Value or any other amount due hereunder to Lessor, until Lessee has
been fully reimbursed for the Reimbursement Amount; provided, however, that in
the case of any payment due from Lessee which is distributable under the terms
of the Indenture, Lessee's right of offset shall be limited to amounts
distributable to Lessor or the Owner Participant thereunder. No such offset or
aggregate combined effect of separate offsets shall reduce the amount of any
installments of Basic Rent to an amount insufficient, together with all other
amounts payable simultaneously by Lessee, to pay in full the payments then
required to be made on account of the principal of and interest on the
Certificates then outstanding. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section
3(f) to the contrary, Lessee's obligation to advance an amount equal to the
Excess Payment Amount shall terminate at such time as its obligation to pay
Basic Rent terminates under this Lease.
Section 4. Lessor's Representations, Warranties and
Covenants; Quiet Enjoyment. (a) Lessor's Representations, Warranties and
Covenants. NONE OF LESSOR (IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY OR AS OWNER TRUSTEE),
THE OWNER PARTICIPANT, ANY LOAN PARTICIPANT, OR THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE MAKES OR
SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, AND LESSEE HEREBY
WAIVES, RELEASES AND RENOUNCES ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE TITLE, AIRWORTHINESS, VALUE, CONDITION,
WORKMANSHIP, DESIGN, OPERATION, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR USE FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE OF THE AIRCRAFT OR ANY ENGINE OR ANY PART THEREOF, AS TO THE
ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS, WHETHER OR NOT DISCOVERABLE, AS TO THE
ABSENCE OF ANY INFRINGEMENT OF ANY PATENT, TRADEMARK OR COPYRIGHT, OR AS TO THE
ABSENCE OF OBLIGATIONS BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY IN TORT, WHETHER IN STRICT OR
ABSOLUTE LIABILITY OR ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF LESSOR, INDENTURE TRUSTEE,
ANY LOAN PARTICIPANT, OR THE OWNER PARTICIPANT, ACTUAL OR IMPUTED, OR ANY OTHER
REPRE-
24
AF-1
29
SENTATION OR WARRANTY WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, except that Lessor in its
individual capacity represents and warrants that on the Delivery Date Lessor
shall have received whatever rights, title and interests in, to and under the
Aircraft were conveyed to it by Lessee and Lessor represents, warrants and
covenants in its individual capacity that the Aircraft shall be free of
Lessor's Liens attributable to it in its individual capacity. Lessor also
represents and warrants in its individual capacity that it is, in its
individual capacity, a "citizen of the United States" as defined in Section
101(16) of the Federal Aviation Act (without the use of a voting trust
agreement or voting powers agreement).
(b) Quiet Enjoyment. Lessor covenants that, so long as no
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, it will not take any
action contrary to Lessee's rights under this Lease, or otherwise in any way
interfere with the quiet enjoyment of the use and possession of the Aircraft,
the Airframe or any Engine by Lessee or any sublessee, assignee or transferee
under any sublease, assignment or transfer then in effect and permitted by the
terms of this Lease.
Section 5. Return of Aircraft. (a) Return of Airframe and
Engines. Upon the termination of this Lease at the end of the Term, a Renewal
Term or pursuant to Section 9 or Section 15, unless Lessee shall have exercised
its option to purchase the Aircraft pursuant to Section 9(e), 20(b) or 20(c),
Lessee will return the Aircraft by delivering the same, at its own expense, to
any airport chosen by Lessee in the United States which is on Lessee's route
system or, if Lessor has requested storage pursuant to Section 5(d), to the
location determined in accordance with Section 5(d), fully equipped with two
Engines (which may be Replacement Engines), or other General Electric
CF6-80C2B6 engines (or engines of the same or another manufacturer of a
comparable or an improved model and suitable for installation and use on the
Airframe) owned by Lessee (and each such engine shall be of the same make,
model and manufacture as the other Engine or engine installed on the Airframe),
duly installed thereon. At the time of such return, (A) such Airframe and
Engines or engines (i) shall be, if the Aircraft is then registered under the
laws of the United States, duly certificated as an airworthy aircraft by the
Federal Aviation Administration or, if the Aircraft is not then registered
under the laws of the United States as
25
AF-1
30
provided in the penultimate sentence of this Section 5(a), shall be duly
certificated as an airworthy aircraft by the central civil aviation authority
of the jurisdiction in which the Aircraft is then registered, and, in addition,
if the Aircraft is not registrable in the United States because one of the
conditions specified in the proviso to such sentence apply, shall be eligible
for certification as an airworthy aircraft by the Federal Aviation
Administration, (ii) shall be free and clear of all Liens (other than Lessor's
Liens and Permitted Liens of the type described in clause (i) or (iii) of
Section 6), (iii) shall be in as good operating condition as when delivered to
Lessee hereunder, ordinary wear and tear excepted, or, in the case of any such
engines owned by Lessee, shall have a value and utility at least equal to, and
shall be in as good operating condition as required by the terms hereof with
respect to, Engines constituting part of the Aircraft but not then installed on
the Airframe and (iv) in the event that Lessee does not use a progressive
overhaul program in which no out-of-service phase with respect to the Airframe
exceeds 240 hours or a condition-monitored maintenance program with respect to
such Engines or engines, and Lessee adopts a time-related overhaul program with
respect to the Airframe or a scheduled shop visit or module change maintenance
program with respect to such Engines or engines, or both, such Airframe shall
have at least 1,500 hours of operation remaining to the next heavy maintenance
visit and the aggregate number of hours of operation on all such Engines or
engines remaining until the next scheduled shop visit or module change shall be
at least 3,000 hours and (B) such Aircraft shall, except as otherwise provided
herein, be clean and in a configuration suitable for commercial passenger
service, and shall be in compliance with all mandatory environmental, noise,
air pollution and other standards prescribed by the Federal government of the
United States of America and applicable to the Aircraft and shall have all of
Lessee's and any other Person's exterior markings removed or painted over with
the areas thereof refinished to match adjacent areas. In the event that Lessee
has adopted a time-related overhaul program with respect to the Airframe and
does not meet the above conditions with respect thereto, Lessee shall pay
Lessor a dollar amount computed by multiplying (i) 115% of Lessee's direct cost
(during the preceding twelve months) of such heavy maintenance visit by (ii) a
fraction of which (x) the numerator shall be the difference between 1,500 hours
and the actual number of hours of operation remaining on the Airframe to the
next heavy
26
AF-1
31
maintenance visit and (y) the denominator shall be the aggregate number of
hours allowable between heavy maintenance visits. In the event that Lessee has
adopted a scheduled shop visit or module change program with respect to such
Engines or engines and Lessee does not meet the above conditions with respect
to such Engines or engines, Lessee shall pay Lessor a dollar amount computed by
multiplying (i) the product of (x) 115% of Lessee's direct cost (during the
preceding twelve months) of such scheduled shop visit or module change and (y)
the number of Engines or engines returned by (ii) a fraction of which (A) the
numerator shall be the difference between 3,000 hours and the actual aggregate
number of hours of operation remaining to the next scheduled shop visit or
module change for the Engines or engines on the Aircraft and (B) the
denominator shall be the aggregate number of hours allowable between scheduled
shop visits or module changes for such Engines or engines. At the time of such
return, Lessee will, unless requested by Lessor at least 90 days prior to such
time of return to retain the existing registration of the Aircraft, cause the
Aircraft, if it is not then so registered, to be registered under the laws of
the United States with the Federal Aviation Administration in the name of
Lessor or its designee; provided that Lessee shall be relieved of its
obligations under this sentence if (x) such registration is prohibited by
reason of the failure of Lessor, the Owner Participant or Lessor's designee to
be eligible on such date to own an aircraft registered with the Federal
Aviation Administration or (y) such registration is otherwise prohibited by
applicable law and such prohibition does not result from an act or failure to
act on the part of Lessee or any sublessee. In the event the Federal Aviation
Administration shall issue any directive which would require improvements to
the Aircraft in order for the airworthiness certificate of the Aircraft to be
maintained in good standing, and if such directive by its terms is not
applicable to the Aircraft prior to the return thereof pursuant to this Section
5, Lessee shall nevertheless comply with such directive if, prior to such
return, (x) Lessee commences compliance with such directive with respect to any
other Boeing 767-300 aircraft affected by such directive and in use by Lessee
and (y) subsequent to any such commencement, the Aircraft is subjected to a
maintenance check of the type at which such modification is made, in accordance
with Lessee's general maintenance program.
27
AF-1
32
(b) Return of Engines. In the event that any engine not
owned by Lessor shall be delivered with the Airframe as set forth in paragraph
(a) of this Section 5, Lessee, concurrently with such delivery, will, at its
own expense, furnish Lessor with a warranty (as to title) bill of sale in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor (which warranty shall except
Lessor's Liens and Permitted Liens of the type described in clause (i) of
Section 6), with respect to each such engine and with a written opinion of
Lessee's counsel (which may be Lessee's General Counsel) to the effect that
such bill of sale constitutes an effective instrument for the conveyance of
title to such engine to Lessor, and thereupon Lessor will transfer to Lessee,
without recourse or warranty (except as to Lessor's Liens), all Lessor's right,
title and interest in and to an Engine constituting part of the Aircraft but
not installed on the Airframe at the time of the return of the Airframe.
(c) Fuel; Manuals. Upon the return of the Airframe pursuant
to this Section 5, (i) Lessee shall have no obligation with respect to the
amount of fuel or oil contained in the Airframe and all fuel or oil remaining
on board the Airframe shall be the property of Lessor without charge and (ii)
Lessee shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Lessor all logs, manuals and
data, and inspection, modification and overhaul records required to be
maintained with respect thereto under applicable rules and regulations of the
Federal Aviation Administration and, if the Aircraft has been registered under
the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States, of the applicable
foreign governmental authority, and the warranty bill of sale relating to the
Aircraft received from the Manufacturer.
(d) Storage upon Return. Upon written request of Lessor
received at least 30 days prior to the end of the Term, Lessee will provide
Lessor with storage facilities free of charge except as provided below for the
Aircraft for a period not exceeding 30 days at such location in the United
States on Lessee's route system used by Lessee for the storage of surplus
aircraft or engines available for sale as shall be designated by Lessee;
provided that Lessor may request that the Aircraft be stored at any other
location in the United States on Lessee's route system used by Lessee for such
purpose, in which case Lessee may, in its sole discretion, provide such
facilities for such period. Any storage facilities provided by Lessee
28
AF-1
33
for the Aircraft pursuant to this Section 5(d) shall, in all cases, be at the
cost to Lessor of insurance and Lessee's out-of-pocket costs in connection with
providing such facilities (it being understood that such out-of-pocket costs
shall not be deemed to include the cost of making the storage facilities
available) and at the risk of Lessor. In the event Lessor, after a storage
location is determined as provided in the first sentence of this Section 5(d),
shall request Lessee to deliver the Aircraft to a second location, Lessee will,
at Lessor's expense, fly the Aircraft within such 30-day period to a reasonable
location selected by Lessor in the United States, for storage at the risk and
expense of Lessor, upon receipt of evidence of insurance coverage (reasonably
satisfactory to Lessee) as set forth in Section 11(a), provided that (i) Lessee
shall not be required to store the Aircraft at any location used by Lessee for
storage of surplus aircraft available for sale except as provided in the first
sentence of this Section 5(d) and (ii) the delivery by Lessee of the Aircraft
to the first location determined as provided in such sentence shall constitute
delivery of the Aircraft as required by Section 5(a). Lessor, at its expense,
may place such other insurance in such circumstances on the Aircraft as it may
deem appropriate. Lessee shall, at Lessor's request, maintain insurance (if
available) for the Aircraft during such period of storage and shall be
reimbursed by Lessor for the cost thereof.
(e) Delayed Return. (i) In the event that the use of the
Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine in the normal course of the business of air
transportation is prohibited on the last day of the Term or the date the
Aircraft is required to be redelivered pursuant to Section 9, Lessee shall,
upon prompt notice of the reasons therefor to Lessor, not be required to return
such Aircraft to Lessor but may retain custody and control of the Aircraft for
a period not in excess of 180 days beyond the last day of the Term or such date
in order to attempt in a diligent manner to remedy any condition prohibiting
such use or (ii) in connection with any sublease of the Aircraft by Lessee
permitted under the terms of this Lease, Lessee may at its option, upon written
notice to Lessor given not less than 30 days prior to the last day of the Term
or such date, extend this Lease for a period not in excess of 60 days beyond
the last day of the Term in order to enable Lessee to bring the Aircraft to the
condition required under this Section 5 on its return to Lessor; provided that
in either case, Lessee shall pay to Lessor at monthly
29
AF-1
34
intervals the daily equivalent of 50% of the average annual Basic Rent payable
during the Term (excluding the Interim Period) pursuant to the terms hereof for
each day of such period.
(f) Overhaul. Immediately prior to the return of the
Airframe and Engines or engines at the end of the Term, Lessee, upon written
request of Lessor received at least 30 days prior to the end of the Term, and
subject to the availability of the appropriate facilities, will overhaul or
cause to be overhauled such Airframe and Engines or engines. Such overhaul
shall be done in the same manner and same care as used by Lessee with similar
airframes and engines of its own, and Lessor shall reimburse Lessee for such
overhaul by payment of an amount equal to 110% of Lessee's actual costs in
connection with such overhaul. This provision is not intended and shall not be
construed to diminish or modify Lessee's other obligations under this Section
5.
Section 6. 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, title thereto or any interest therein or in this Lease
except (i) the respective rights of Lessor and Lessee as herein provided, the
Lien created under the Trust Indenture, the rights of Lessor under the Purchase
Agreement Assignment and the rights of the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee
and the Indenture Trustee under the Trust Agreement, the Trust Indenture, and
the Participation Agreement, (ii) the rights of others under agreements or
arrangements to the extent expressly permitted by the terms of Sections 7(b)
and 8(b), (iii) Lessor's Liens, Loan Participant Liens and Trustee's Liens,
(iv) Liens for Taxes either not yet due or being contested in good faith (and
for the payment of which adequate reserves have been provided) 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 Airframe or any Engine or
interest therein, (v) materialmen's, mechanics', workmen's, repairmen's,
employees' or other like Liens arising in the ordinary course of Lessee's
business for amounts the payment of which is either not yet delinquent or is
being contested in good faith (and for the payment of which adequate reserves
have been provided) 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 Airframe or any
30
AF-1
35
Engine or interest therein, (vi) Liens arising out of judgments or awards
against Lessee with respect to which an appeal or proceeding for review is
being prosecuted in good faith and with respect to which there shall have been
secured a stay of execution pending such appeal or proceeding for review so
long as such judgment or award does not and will not involve any material risk
or danger of the sale, forfeiture or loss (or loss of use) of the Airframe or
any Engine or any interest therein and (vii) salvage or similar rights of
insurers under insurance policies maintained pursuant to Section 11. Lessee
will promptly, at its own expense, take such action as may be necessary duly to
discharge (by bonding or otherwise) any such Lien not excepted above if the
same shall arise at any time.
Section 7. Registration, Maintenance and Operation;
Possession; Insignia. (a) Registration, Maintenance and Operation. Lessee,
at its own cost and expense, shall:
(i) forthwith upon the delivery thereof to Lessor on the
Delivery Date cause the Aircraft to be duly registered, and at all
times thereafter to remain duly registered, under the laws of the
United States, in the name of Lessor, as owner, except (x) as
otherwise required by the Federal Aviation Act, or (y) to the extent
that such registration cannot be effected because of Lessor's or the
Owner Participant's failure to comply with the citizenship or other
eligibility requirements for registration of aircraft under such Act;
provided that Lessor shall execute and deliver all such documents as
Lessee shall reasonably request for the purpose of effecting and
continuing such registration. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence,
but subject always to the terms and conditions set forth in Section
9(m) and 9(n) of the Participation Agreement, Lessee may cause the
Aircraft to be duly registered under the laws of any jurisdiction in
which a sublessee pursuant to Section 7(b)(ix) could be principally
based, in the name of Lessor or of any nominee of Lessor, or, if
required by applicable law, in the name of Lessee or any other Person,
and shall thereafter maintain such registration unless and until
changed as provided herein and therein; and Lessor will cooperate with
Lessee in effecting such foreign registration;
31
AF-1
36
(ii) maintain, service, repair, overhaul and test the Aircraft in
accordance with a maintenance program (as approved by the Federal
Aviation Administration) for Boeing 767-300 series aircraft (or, at
Lessee's option, (x) in the event that the Aircraft is re-registered
in another jurisdiction pursuant to Section 7(a)(i), in accordance
with an aircraft maintenance program approved by the central civil
aviation authority of the jurisdiction of such registration or (y) in
the event of any sublease to a foreign air carrier in accordance with
Section 7(b)(ix), approved by the central civil aviation authority of
one of the jurisdictions specified in clause (y) of such Section
7(b)(ix)) and in the same manner and with the same care used by Lessee
with respect to comparable aircraft and engines owned or operated by
Lessee and utilized in similar circumstances so as to keep the
Aircraft in as good operating condition as when delivered to Lessee by
the Manufacturer, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and in such
condition as may be necessary to enable the airworthiness
certification of the Aircraft to be maintained in good standing at all
times (other than during temporary periods of storage in accordance
with applicable regulations or during periods of grounding by
applicable governmental authorities, except where such periods of
grounding are the result of the failure by Lessee to maintain the
Aircraft as otherwise required herein) under the Federal Aviation Act
or, if the Aircraft is registered under the laws of any other
jurisdiction, the laws of such jurisdiction and in compliance with all
applicable manufacturer's alert service bulletins;
(iii) maintain, in the English language, all records, logs and
other materials required by the appropriate authorities in the
jurisdiction where the Aircraft is registered to be maintained in
respect of the Aircraft; and
(iv) promptly furnish to Lessor such information as may be
required to enable Lessor to file any reports, returns or statements
required to be filed by Lessor with any governmental authority because
of Lessor's or the Owner Participant's interest in the Aircraft.
32
AF-1
37
Lessee agrees that the Aircraft will not be maintained, used
or operated in violation of any law or any rule, regulation or order 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; provided that Lessee
shall not be in default under this sentence if it is not possible for it to
comply with the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States (or other
than any jurisdiction in which the Aircraft is then registered) because of a
conflict with the applicable laws of the United States (or such jurisdiction in
which the Aircraft is then registered). In the event that any such law, rule,
regulation or order requires alteration of the Aircraft, Lessee will conform
thereto or obtain conformance therewith at no expense to Lessor and will
maintain the Aircraft in proper operating condition under such laws, rules,
regulations and orders; provided, however, that Lessee may, in good faith,
contest the validity or application of any such law, rule, regulation or order
in any reasonable manner which does not materially adversely affect Lessor, the
Aircraft, the Owner Participant or the lien of the Trust Indenture, provided
that neither noncompliance with such law, rule, regulation or order nor such
proceedings shall involve any danger of criminal liability to Lessor or the
Owner Participant or (unless Lessee shall have provided security reasonably
satisfactory to Lessor) any material danger of the sale, forfeiture or loss (or
loss of use) of the Aircraft. Lessee also agrees not to operate or locate the
Aircraft, or suffer the Aircraft to be operated or located, (i) in any area
excluded from coverage by any insurance required by the terms of Section 11,
except in the case of a requisition for use by any Government where Lessee
obtains indemnity pursuant to Section 11 in lieu of such insurance from such
Government against the risks and in the amounts required by Section 11 covering
such area, or (ii) in any war zone or recognized or, in Lessee's judgment,
threatened area of hostilities unless covered by war risk insurance in
accordance with Section 11, but only so long as the same remains in effect
while the Aircraft is so operated or located, or unless the Aircraft is
operated or used under contract with any Government entered into pursuant to
Section 11, under which contract such Government assumes liability for any
damage, loss, (or loss of use) destruction or failure to return possession of
the Aircraft at the end of the term of such con-
33
AF-1
38
tract and for injury to persons and damage to property of others.
(b) Possession. Lessee will not, without the prior written
consent of Lessor, sublease or otherwise in any manner deliver, transfer or
relinquish possession of 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 (or, only so long as the Original
Loan Participant shall be a holder of any Certificate, as to any sublease
pursuant to the provisions of clause (ix) of this Section 7(b), an event that
with the giving of notice of lapse of time or both would constitute an Event of
Default under Section 14(a), (g), (h) or (i) hereof) shall have occurred and be
continuing, and so long as the action to be taken shall not deprive the
Indenture Trustee of the perfected lien of the Trust Indenture on the Airframe
or (subject to subclause (B) of the "provided further" clause to subsection (i)
of this Section 7(b)) any Engine, and in any event, so long as Lessee shall
comply with the provisions of Section 11, Lessee may, without the prior consent
of Lessor:
(i) subject the Airframe to normal interchange agreements or
any Engine to normal interchange or pooling agreements or arrangements
in each case customary in the airline industry and entered into by
Lessee in the ordinary course of its business with any other United
States air carrier as to which there is in force a certificate issued
pursuant to Section 401 of the Federal Aviation Act or any successor
provision that gives like authority or with any "foreign air carrier"
(as such term is defined in such Act) as to which there is in force a
permit issued pursuant to Section 402 of said Act (any such United
States certificated air carrier and any such foreign air carrier being
hereinafter called a "Permitted Air Carrier"); provided that no
transfer of the registration of such Airframe shall be effected in
connection therewith; and provided, further, that (A) no such
agreement or arrangement contemplates or requires the transfer of
title to the Airframe and (B) if Lessor's title to any such Engine
shall be 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;
34
AF-1
39
(ii) deliver possession of the Airframe or any Engine to the
manufacturer thereof for testing or other similar purposes or to any
organization for service, repair, maintenance or overhaul work on the
Airframe or such Engine or any part thereof or for alterations or
modifications in or additions to the Airframe or such Engine to the
extent required or permitted by the terms of Section 7(a) or 8(c);
(iii) transfer possession of the Airframe or any Engine to the
United States of America or any instrumentality or agency thereof
pursuant to a sublease, contract or other instrument, a copy of which
shall be furnished to Lessor; provided that the term of such sublease
(including, without limitation, any option of the sublessee to renew
or extend) or the term of possession under such contract or other
instrument shall not continue beyond the end of the Term or any
Renewal Term then in effect;
(iv) transfer possession of the Airframe or any Engine to the
United States of America or any instrumentality or agency thereof in
accordance with applicable laws, rulings, regulations or orders
(including, without limitation, the Civil Reserve Air Fleet Program
authorized under 10 U.S.C. Section 9511 et seq. or any substantially
similar program), provided that Lessee (x) notifies Lessor of such
transfer of possession of the Airframe or any Engine to the United
States or any agency or instrumentality thereof and (y) provides to
Lessor the name and the address of the responsible Contracting Office
Representative for the Military Airlift Command of the United States
within 60 days thereof;
(v) install an Engine on an airframe owned by Lessee free and
clear of all Liens, except (A) those of the type permitted under
clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) of Section 6 and those
which apply only to the engines (other than Engines), appliances,
parts, instruments, appurtenances, accessories, furnishings and other
equipment (other than Parts) installed on such airframe (but not to
the airframe as an entirety) and (B) the rights of other Permitted Air
Carriers under normal interchange agreements which are customary in
the airline industry and do not contemplate, permit or require the
35
AF-1
40
transfer of title to the airframe or engines installed thereon;
(vi) install an Engine on an airframe leased to Lessee or
owned by Lessee subject to a conditional sale or other security
agreement; provided that (A) such airframe is free and clear
of all Liens except the rights of the parties to the lease or
conditional sale or other security agreement covering such airframe
and except Liens of the type permitted by clauses (A) and (B) of
subparagraph (v) of this paragraph of Section 7(b) and (B) Lessee
shall have obtained from the lessor or secured party of such airframe
a written agreement (which may be the lease or conditional sale or
other security agreement covering such airframe), in form and
substance satisfactory to Lessor (it being understood that an
agreement from such lessor or secured party substantially in the form
of the final sentence of the penultimate paragraph of this Section
7(b) shall be deemed to be satisfactory to Lessor), whereby such
lessor or secured party expressly agrees that neither it nor its
successors or assigns will acquire or claim any right, title or
interest in any Engine by reason of such Engine being installed on
such airframe at any time while such Engine is subject to this Lease
or to the lien of the Trust Indenture;
(vii) install an Engine on an airframe owned by Lessee, leased
to Lessee or owned by Lessee subject to a conditional sale or other
security agreement under circumstances where neither subparagraph (v)
nor subparagraph (vi) of this Section 7(b) is applicable; provided
that 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, Lessor not intending hereby to waive any right or interest it
may have to or in such Engine under applicable law until compliance by
Lessee with such Section 10(b); and
(viii) sublease any Engine or the Airframe and Engines or
engines then installed on the Airframe to any United States air
carrier as to which there is in force a certificate issued pursuant
to Section 401 of the Federal Aviation Act or successor provision
that gives like authority; provided that the term of such sublease
(including, without limitation, any
36
AF-1
41
option of the sublessee to renew or extend) shall not continue beyond
the end of the Term or any Renewal Term then in effect, unless Lessee
shall have agreed to purchase the Aircraft or renew this Lease in
accordance with the terms hereof at the end of the Term or such
Renewal Term, as the case may be, to a date beyond the end of the term
of such sublease (assuming that all options to renew or extend such
sublease will be exercised); and
(ix) sublease any Engine or the Airframe and Engines or
engines then installed on the Airframe to (A) any foreign air carrier
that is principally based in and a domiciliary of a country (other
than Cuba, El Salvador, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon and Libya) that is at
the inception of the sublease a party to the Mortgage Convention,
or (B) any foreign air carrier that is principally based in and a
domiciliary of a country listed in Exhibit B hereto, or (C) any
foreign air carrier not described in clause (A) or (B) above; provided
that (w) in the case only of a sublease to a foreign air carrier under
clause (C) above, Lessor and the Loan Participants receive at the time
of such sublease an opinion of counsel to Lessee (which counsel shall
be reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, the Owner Participant and the
Loan Participants) to the effect that (a) the terms of the sublease
and the Operative Documents are legal, valid, binding and enforceable
in the country in which such foreign air carrier is principally based,
to substantially the same extent as the Operative Documents are at
that time enforceable in the United States, (b) it is not necessary
for Lessor or the Owner Participant to qualify to do business in such
country solely as a result of the proposed sublease, (c) there is no
tort liability of the owner of an aircraft not in possession thereof
(or of a lender providing funds for the purchase of an aircraft) under
the laws of such country other than tort liability no more extensive
or onerous than that which might have been imposed on such owner or
lender under the laws of the United States or any state thereof (it
being understood that, in the event such opinion cannot be given in a
form satisfactory to Lessor, the Owner Participant and the Loan
Participants, such opinion shall be waived if insurance reasonably
satisfactory to Lessor, the Owner Participant and the Loan
Participants is provided by Lessee to cover
37
AF-1
42
the risk of such liability), (d) the laws of such country require fair
compensation by the government of such country for the loss of use of
the Aircraft in the event of the requisition by such government of the
Aircraft (unless Lessee shall have agreed to provide insurance
reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and the Owner Participant covering
the risk of requisition of use of the Aircraft by the government of
such jurisdiction so long as the Aircraft is subleased in such
country), and (e) there exist no possessory rights in favor of such
sublessee under the laws of such country which would, upon bankruptcy
of or other default by Lessee or the sublessee, prevent the return of
such Engine or the Airframe and such Engine or engine to Lessor in
accordance with and when permitted by the terms of Sections 14 and
15(a) hereof upon the exercise by Lessor of its remedies under Section
15(a), (x) in the case only of a sublease to a foreign air carrier
under clause (C) above, each of Lessor and the Owner Participant
receives assurances reasonably satisfactory to it that the currency of
such country is freely convertible into U.S. Dollars (unless Lessee
shall have agreed to provide the requisition insurance described in
subclause (d) of clause (w) above), (y) in the case of any sublease to
a foreign air carrier, either the sublease, or an arrangement existing
between Lessee, the sublessee and/or one or more third parties that
provide maintenance services, provides that the Aircraft will be
maintained, serviced, repaired, overhauled and tested in accordance
with maintenance standards for Boeing 767-300 series aircraft approved
by, or substantially similar to those approved or required by, the
Federal Aviation Administration or the central civil aviation
authority of any of Brazil, Canada, France, The Federal Republic of
Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland or the
United Kingdom and (z) in the case of any sublease to a foreign air
carrier (other than a foreign air carrier principally based in Taiwan)
the United States of America maintains diplomatic relations with the
country in which such foreign air carrier is principally based at the
time such sublease is entered into; and provided, further, that the
term of any such sublease (including, without limitation, any option
of the sublessee to renew or extend) shall not continue beyond the end
of the Term or any Renewal Term then in effect, unless Lessee shall
have agreed
38
AF-1
43
to purchase the Aircraft or renew this Lease in accordance with the
terms hereof at the end of the Term or such Renewal Term, as the case
may be, to a date beyond the end of the term of such sublease
(assuming that all options to renew or extend such sublease will be
exercised);
provided that the rights of any transferee who receives possession by reason of
a transfer permitted by this Section 7(b) (other than the transfer of an Engine
which is deemed an Event of Loss) shall be subject and subordinate to, and any
sublease permitted by this Section 7(b) shall be made expressly subject and
subordinate to, all the terms of this Lease and of the Trust Indenture,
including, without limitation, Lessor's rights to repossession pursuant to
Section 15(a) hereof and to avoid such sublease upon such repossession and the
Indenture Trustee's rights to possession pursuant to Section 4.04 of the Trust
Indenture, and Lessee shall in all events remain primarily liable hereunder for
the performance and observance of all of the terms and conditions of this Lease
to the same extent as if such sublease or transfer had not occurred, and any
such sublease shall include appropriate provisions for the maintenance (subject
to clause (y) of the first proviso to Section 7(b)(ix)) and insurance of the
Aircraft. No interchange agreement, pooling 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
hereunder or under the other Operative Documents. With the prior written
consent of Lessor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, Lessee may
sub-sublease the Airframe or Engines in connection with a transaction that
involves such a sub-sublease commencing at the inception of the transaction.
Lessee may not otherwise sub-sublease the Airframe or Engines. Lessee shall
not sublease the Airframe or Engines to any sublessee that is the subject of a
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding at the inception of such
sublease without the prior written consent of Lessor, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld. Lessee shall, promptly upon entering into a sublease
of the Airframe or Engines, notify Lessor, the Owner Participant and the
Indenture Trustee of the identity of the sublessee and the term of such
sublease and shall provide a copy of such sublease agreement to any of Lessor,
the Owner Participant or the Indenture Trustee upon request therefrom (with
economic and financial provisions and information deleted therefrom if Lessee
shall
39
AF-1
44
so choose), provided that, except to the extent required by applicable law,
such parties shall keep confidential the identity of the sublessee and the
existence and terms of such sublease. Lessor hereby agrees, for the benefit of
the lessor or secured party of any airframe or engine leased to Lessee or owned
by Lessee subject to a conditional sale or other security agreement that Lessor
will not acquire or claim, as against such lessor or secured party, any right,
title or interest in any engine or engines owned 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 as the result of such engine or
engines being installed on the Airframe at any time while such engine or
engines are subject to such lease or conditional sale or other security
agreement.
Lessor acknowledges that any "wet lease" or other similar
arrangement under which Lessee maintains operational control of the Aircraft
shall not constitute a delivery, transfer or relinquishment of possession for
purposes of this Section 7(b).
(c) Insignia. Lessee agrees to affix as promptly as
practicable after the Delivery Date and thereafter to maintain in the cockpit
of the Airframe adjacent to the airworthiness certificate therein and (if not
prevented by applicable law or regulations or by any governmental authority) on
each Engine a nameplate bearing the inscription "WILMINGTON TRUST COMPANY, AS
OWNER TRUSTEE, LESSOR", and, so long as the Airframe or such Engine shall
constitute a part of the Indenture Estate, the inscription "NATIONSBANK OF
GEORGIA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, AS INDENTURE TRUSTEE/MORTGAGEE" (such nameplate
to be replaced, if necessary, with a nameplate reflecting the name of any
successor Lessor or successor Indenture Trustee). Except as above provided,
Lessee will not allow the name of any Person to be placed on the Airframe or on
any Engine as a designation that might be interpreted as a claim of ownership;
provided that nothing herein contained shall prohibit Lessee (or any sublessee)
from placing its customary colors and insignia on the Airframe or any Engine.
Section 8. Replacement and Pooling of Parts; Alterations,
Modifications and Additions. (a) Replacement of Parts. Lessee, at its own
cost and expense, will promptly replace all Parts which may from time to time
be incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe
40
AF-1
45
or any Engine and which may from time to time become worn out, lost, stolen,
destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or rendered permanently
unfit for use for any reason whatsoever, except as otherwise provided in
Section 8(c). In addition, Lessee may, at its own cost and expense, remove in
the ordinary course of maintenance, service, repair, overhaul or testing, any
Parts, whether or not worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated,
damaged beyond repair or rendered permanently unfit for use; provided that
Lessee, except as otherwise provided in Section 8(c), will, at its own cost and
expense, replace such Parts as promptly as possible. All replacement Parts
shall be free and clear of all Liens (except for pooling arrangements to the
extent permitted by Section 8(b) and Permitted Liens), and shall be in as good
operating condition as, and shall have a value and utility at least equal to,
the Parts replaced, assuming such replaced Parts were in the condition and
repair required to be maintained by the terms hereof. Title to all Parts at
any time removed from the Airframe or any Engine shall remain vested in Lessor
no matter where located, until such time as such Parts shall be replaced by
Parts which have been incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe
or any Engine and which meet the requirements for replacement Parts specified
above. Immediately upon any replacement Part becoming incorporated or
installed in or attached to the Airframe or any Engine as above provided,
without further act, (i) title to the replaced Part shall thereupon vest in
Lessee, free and clear of all rights of Lessor, and such replaced Part shall no
longer be deemed a Part hereunder, (ii) title to such replacement Part shall
thereupon vest in Lessor, free and clear of all Liens (except for Permitted
Liens) and (iii) such replacement Part shall become subject to this Lease and
be deemed part of the Airframe or such Engine for all purposes to the same
extent as the Parts originally incorporated or installed in or attached to the
Airframe or such Engine.
(b) Pooling of Parts. Any Part removed from the Airframe or
an Engine as provided in Section 8(a) may be subjected by Lessee to a normal
pooling arrangement customary in the airline industry entered into in the
ordinary course of Lessee's business with Permitted Air Carriers; provided that
the Part replacing such removed Part shall be incorporated or installed in or
attached to the Airframe or such Engine in accordance with Section 8(a) as
promptly as practicable after the removal of such removed Part. In addition,
any replacement Part
41
AF-1
46
when incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or an Engine in
accordance with Section 8(a) may be owned by a Permitted Air Carrier subject to
such a normal pooling arrangement; provided that Lessee, at its expense, as
promptly thereafter as practicable, either (i) causes title to such replacement
Part to vest in Lessor in accordance with Section 8(a) by Lessee acquiring
title thereto for the benefit of, and transferring such title to, Lessor, free
and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens) or (ii) replaces such
replacement Part by incorporating or installing in or attaching to the Airframe
or such Engine a further replacement Part owned by Lessee free and clear of all
Liens (other than Permitted Liens) and by causing title to such further
replacement Part to vest in Lessor in accordance with Section 8(a).
(c) Alterations, Modifications and Additions. Lessee, at its
own expense, will make such alterations and modifications in and additions to
the Airframe and the Engines as may be required from time to time to meet the
standards of the Federal Aviation Administration or other governmental
authority having jurisdiction in any country in or over which the Aircraft is
flown; provided, however, that Lessee may, in good faith, contest the validity
or application of any such standard in any reasonable manner which does not
adversely affect Lessor, the Aircraft, the Owner Participant or the lien of the
Trust Indenture, provided that neither noncompliance with such standard nor
such proceedings shall involve any danger of criminal liability to Lessor or
the Owner Participant or (unless Lessee shall have provided security reasonably
satisfactory to Lessor) any material danger of the sale, forfeiture or loss of
the Aircraft. In addition, Lessee, at its own expense, may from time to time
make or cause to be made such alterations and modifications in and additions to
the Airframe or any Engine as Lessee may deem desirable in the proper conduct
of its business, including, without limitation, removal of Parts which Lessee
deems to be obsolete or no longer suitable or appropriate for use on the
Airframe or such Engine (such Parts being referred to as "Obsolete Parts");
provided that no such alteration, modification, addition or removal shall
diminish the value or utility of the Airframe or such Engine, or materially
impair the condition or airworthiness thereof, below the value, utility,
condition and airworthiness thereof immediately prior to such alteration,
modification, addition or removal assuming the Airframe or such Engine was then
of the value and utility and in the condi-
42
AF-1
47
tion and airworthiness required to be maintained by the terms of this Lease,
except that the value (but not the utility, condition or airworthiness) of the
Aircraft may be reduced by the value of Obsolete Parts which shall have been
removed, if the aggregate value of all such Obsolete Parts removed from the
Aircraft and not replaced shall not exceed $500,000. Title to all Parts
incorporated or installed in or attached or added to the Airframe or any Engine
as the result of such alteration, modification or addition shall, without
further act, vest in Lessor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee may, at any
time during the Term, remove any Part; 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 to the Airframe or such Engine at the
time of 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 or added to such Airframe or Engine
pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 8(c), and (iii) such Part can be
removed from the Airframe or such Engine without diminishing or impairing the
value, utility, condition or airworthiness required to be maintained by the
terms of this Lease which the Airframe or such Engine would have had at such
time had such removal not occurred. Upon the removal by Lessee of any Part as
provided in the immediately preceding sentence or the removal of any Obsolete
Part permitted by this Section 8(c), title thereto shall, without further act,
vest in Lessee and such Part shall no longer be deemed part of the Airframe or
the Engine from which it was removed. Title to any such Part not removed by
Lessee prior to the return of the Airframe or any Engine to Lessor hereunder
shall remain vested in Lessor.
Section 9. Voluntary Termination. (a) Right of Termination.
So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessee
shall have the right at its option (i) to terminate this Lease at any time on
or after the fifth anniversary of the Delivery Date, if in Lessee's good faith
determination (evidenced by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of Lessee to
such effect) the Aircraft is surplus to Lessee's requirements or economically
obsolete to Lessee, and (ii) at any time on or after the eighth anniversary of
the Delivery Date to terminate this Lease for any reason whatsoever, in each
case by delivering to Lessor a written notice of termination specifying a
proposed date of termination (the "Termina-
43
AF-1
48
tion Date") which shall be a Business Day occurring not earlier than 90 days
after the date of such notice, and, if the Termination Date is a Special
Termination Date, whether or not Lessee is thereby electing to purchase the
Aircraft on such Special Termination Date as provided in Section 9(e). The
termination of this Lease shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Section 9, be effective on (i) if Lessee has not elected to purchase the
Aircraft as provided in Section 9(e) and Lessor has elected to sell the
Aircraft, as provided below, the date of sale of the Aircraft, if any, referred
to in Section 9(b), (ii) if Lessee has not elected to purchase the Aircraft as
provided in Section 9(e) and Lessor has elected to retain the Aircraft as
provided in Section 9(d), the date of termination referred to in Section 9(d),
or (iii) if Lessee has elected to purchase the Aircraft as provided in Section
9(e), the date of purchase referred to in Section 9(e). Where Lessee has not
elected to purchase the Aircraft as provided in Section 9(e), Lessor shall give
Lessee irrevocable notice of its election to sell or retain the Aircraft no
later than 30 days prior to the Termination Date. In the event Lessor shall
fail to give notice pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, notice of
its election to sell the Aircraft shall be deemed to have been given as of such
thirtieth day prior to the Termination Date. Unless Lessor shall have given to
Lessee a timely notice of its election to retain the Aircraft as provided in
Section 9(d), Lessee may withdraw the termination notice referred to above at
any time on or prior to the date three Business Days prior to the Termination
Date, whereupon this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. In the
event Lessee withdraws, on or after the third Business Day prior to the
Termination Date, a notice of termination given pursuant to this Section 9(a)
or such notice is deemed withdrawn pursuant to the final sentence of Section
9(b), Lessee will reimburse Lessor and the Owner Participant for any reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it in connection with the proposed sale,
except Lessee shall not be obligated to reimburse Lessor and the Owner
Participant for any out-of-pocket expenses to the extent Lessor shall have
failed to comply with its obligations under this Section 9. Lessee shall not
be entitled to exercise its right of termination provided for in this Section
9(a) more than four times during the Term (not including for purposes of this
sentence any exercise by Lessee of such right of termination immediately
following a failure of
44
AF-1
49
this Lease to be terminated by reason of Lessor's failure to comply with its
obligations under this Section 9).
(b) Sale of Aircraft. If Lessee has not elected to purchase
the Aircraft as provided in Section 9(e) and Lessor has elected or is deemed to
have elected to sell the Aircraft pursuant to Section 9(a), Lessee will have
the option of acting as non-exclusive agent for Lessor to obtain bids for the
cash purchase on or prior to the Termination Date of the Aircraft. Lessor
agrees to pay Lessee a commercially reasonable brokerage fee based on the then
current industry practice in the event that Lessee locates the Person who
purchases the Aircraft pursuant to this Section 9(b). If Lessee acts as such
agent, no later than ten Business Days prior to the Termination Date, Lessee
shall certify to Lessor in writing the amount and terms of each cash bid
received by Lessee and the name and the address of the Person submitting each
such bid. Lessor may (but need not) also, at its expense (which expense,
including without limitation any broker's or finder's fees, shall be for the
Owner Participant's own account), independently obtain cash bids for such
purchase and, in the event Lessor receives any such bid, Lessor shall promptly,
and in any event at least five Business Days prior to the Termination Date,
certify to Lessee in writing the amount and terms of such bid and the name and
address of the Person submitting such bid. Neither the Owner Participant,
Lessee, nor any Affiliate of either may submit a bid for the Aircraft, directly
or indirectly, in connection with such proposed sale. On the Termination Date
(or such other date of sale as may be agreed to by Lessor and Lessee, which
shall thereafter be deemed the Termination Date), (x) Lessee shall, subject to
receipt (i) by Lessor (or, so long as the Trust Indenture shall not have been
discharged, the Indenture Trustee) of the full purchase price thereof and all
amounts owing to Lessor pursuant to the next sentence, and (ii) by the Persons
entitled thereto of all unpaid Supplemental Rent due on or before the
Termination Date, deliver the Aircraft at a location selected by Lessee to the
Person who shall have submitted the highest cash bid net of any broker's or
finder's fees (or such other purchaser acceptable to Lessor and Lessee), in the
same manner as if delivery were made to Lessor at the end of the Term pursuant
to Section 5, and shall duly transfer to Lessor title to any engines installed
on the Airframe but not owned by Lessor, all in accordance with the terms of
Section 5, and (y) Lessor shall simultaneously therewith
45
AF-1
50
sell, without recourse or warranty (except as to Lessor's Liens), for cash all
of Lessor's right, title and interest in and to the Aircraft to such highest
net cash bidder (or other purchaser). The total selling price realized at such
sale shall be retained by Lessor (or, so long as the Trust Indenture shall not
have been discharged, distributed by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the
terms of the Trust Indenture) and, in addition, on the Termination Date, Lessee
shall pay to Lessor or, in the case of Supplemental Rent, to the Persons
entitled thereto, in funds of the type specified in Section 3(d), an amount
equal to (I) the sum of (1) the excess, if any, of (A) the Termination Value
for the Aircraft as of the Termination Date, over (B) the proceeds of the sale
of the Aircraft after deducting the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred
by Lessor and the Owner Participant (including any brokerage fee paid to Lessee
or any other Person), plus (2) all Supplemental Rent (including, without
limitation, Break Amount, if any, on the Certificates) due and owing on the
Termination Date, plus (3) (A) if the Termination Date is a Lease Period Date,
the Basic Rent installment due and payable on that date pursuant to Section
3(b) (it being understood and agreed that Lessee shall not be required to pay
the portion, if any, of such Basic Rent installment designated in Exhibit A-1
to the Rent Schedule as being payable in advance), or (B) if the Termination
Date is not a Lease Period Date and if Basic Rent is payable in arrears during
the Lease Period commencing on the Lease Period Date next preceding the
Termination Date, an amount equal to the Accrued Arrears Basic Rent for the
period from and including such Lease Period Date to but excluding the
Termination Date, plus (4) all Basic Rent due and payable prior to the
Termination Date and unpaid, less (II) any credit to which Lessee may be
entitled as hereinafter in this Section 9(b) provided. Subject always to the
provisions of the penultimate paragraph of Section 3(b), if the Termination
Date with respect to which Termination Value is determined is not a Lease
Period Date and if any portion of the Basic Rent installment paid in respect of
the Lease Period commencing on the Lease Period Date next preceding the
Termination Date is designated in Exhibit A-1 to the Rent Schedule as having
been payable in advance, Lessee shall be entitled to a credit against the
amounts payable by it pursuant to this Section 9(b) in an amount equal to the
lesser of (x) the Unearned Advance Basic Rent as of the Termination Date, and
(y) the amount, if any, by which the proceeds of the sale of the Aircraft after
deducting the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
46
AF-1
51
incurred by Lessor and the Owner Participant (including any brokerage fee paid
to Lessee or any other Person) exceeds the Termination Value for the Aircraft
as of the Termination Date; provided that, in the event that the amount
calculated pursuant to this sentence to be credited exceeds the amounts payable
by Lessee pursuant to this Section 9(b), the Owner Participant shall be
obligated to rebate an amount equal to such excess to Lessee. If on or prior
to the scheduled Termination Date no sale of the Aircraft shall have occurred
and if Lessor shall not have elected to retain the Aircraft in accordance with
Section 9(d) or Lessee shall not have elected to purchase the Aircraft in
accordance with Section 9(e), Lessee's notice given pursuant to Section 9(a)
shall be deemed to be withdrawn as of such scheduled Termination Date and this
Lease shall continue in full force and effect.
(c) Certain Obligations upon Sale of Aircraft. Upon the sale
of the Aircraft pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Section
9(b), Lessor will transfer to Lessee, without recourse or warranty (except as
to Lessor's Liens), all of Lessor's right, title and interest in and to any
Engines constituting part of the Aircraft but which are not then installed on
the Aircraft. Lessor shall be under no duty to solicit bids, to inquire into
the efforts of Lessee to obtain bids or otherwise take any action in connection
with the sale of the Aircraft under Section 9(b), other than to transfer to the
purchaser of the Aircraft (or to such purchaser and to Lessee, as the case may
be), without recourse or warranty (except as to Lessor's Liens), all of
Lessor's right, title and interest in and to the Aircraft against receipt of
the payments provided for herein, and to pay the amounts, if any, required to
be paid by Lessor under Section 9(b) or this Section 9(c), and to request the
Indenture Trustee upon the sale of the Aircraft pursuant to Section 9(b) to
execute and deliver to such purchaser (or to such purchaser and to Lessee, as
the case may be) an appropriate instrument releasing the Aircraft from the lien
of the Trust Indenture and releasing the Purchase Agreement and the Purchase
Agreement Assignment from the assignment and pledge under the Trust Indenture.
Lessor agrees to notify promptly Lessee of the appointment by Lessor of any
broker or finder (other than Lessee) in connection with the sale of the
Aircraft pursuant to Section 9(b) and, subject to Section 9(b), to pay the fees
or commissions of any such broker or finder employed by
47
AF-1
52
Lessor in connection with the sale of the Aircraft pursuant to Section 9(b).
(d) Retention of Aircraft by Lessor. If Lessee has not elected
to purchase the Aircraft as provided in Section 9(e) and Lessor has elected to
retain the Aircraft pursuant to Section 9(a), on the Termination Date specified
in Lessee's termination notice, Lessor shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the
Indenture Trustee funds of the type and in an amount equal to (1) the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of the Certificates and all accrued interest
thereon, plus (2) all other sums due and payable on such Termination Date under
the Trust Indenture, the Participation Agreement or such Certificates. Subject
to receipt by the Indenture Trustee of such funds, on the Termination Date, (i)
Lessee (x) shall deliver the Aircraft to Lessor in the same manner as if
delivery were made to Lessor at the end of the Term pursuant to Section 5, and
shall duly transfer to Lessor title to any engines installed on the Airframe
but not owned by Lessor, all in accordance with the terms of Section 5, and (y)
shall pay to Lessor or to the Persons entitled thereto, in funds of the type
specified in Section 3(d), (A) all Supplemental Rent (including, without
limitation, Break Amount, if any, on the Certificates), other than Termination
Value, and, if the Termination Date is a Lease Period Date, the Basic Rent
installment due and payable on that date pursuant to Section 3(b) (it being
understood and agreed that Lessee shall not be required to pay the portion, if
any, of such Basic Rent installment designated in Exhibit A-1 to the Rent
Schedule as being payable in advance) or, if the Termination Date is not a
Lease Period Date and if Basic Rent is payable in arrears during the Lease
Period commencing on the Lease Period Date next preceding the Termination Date,
an amount equal to the Accrued Arrears Basic Rent for the period from and
including such Lease Period Date to but excluding the Termination Date, and all
Basic Rent due and payable prior to the Termination Date and unpaid, less (B)
any credit to which Lessee may be entitled as hereinafter in this Section 9(d)
provided, and (ii) Lessor (x) shall transfer or cause to be transferred to
Lessee, without recourse or warranty (except as to Lessor's Liens), all of
Lessor's right, title and interest in and to any Engines constituting part of
the Aircraft but which are not then installed on the Aircraft, and (y) Lessor
shall request the Indenture Trustee to execute and deliver to Lessee an
appropriate instrument releasing the Aircraft from the lien of the
48
AF-1
53
Trust Indenture and releasing the Purchase Agreement and the Purchase Agreement
Assignment from the assignment and pledge under the Trust Indenture. If the
Termination Date is not a Lease Period Date and if any portion of the Basic
Rent installment paid in respect of the Lease Period commencing on the Lease
Period Date next preceding the Termination Date is designated in Exhibit A-1 to
the Rent Schedule as having been payable in advance, Lessee shall, subject
always to the provisions of the penultimate paragraph of Section 3(b), be
entitled to a credit against the amounts payable by it pursuant to this Section
9(d) in an amount equal to the Unearned Advance Basic Rent as of the
Termination Date; provided that in the event that the Unearned Advance Basic
Rent exceeds the amount payable by Lessee pursuant to this Section 9(d), the
Owner Participant will be obligated to rebate an amount equal to such excess to
Lessee. If Lessor shall fail to perform any of its obligations pursuant to
this Section 9(d) and as a result thereof this Lease shall not be terminated on
a proposed Termination Date, Lessor shall thereafter no longer be entitled to
exercise its election to retain the Aircraft and Lessee may at its option at
any time thereafter submit a new termination notice pursuant to Section 9(a).
(e) Purchase of Aircraft by Lessee. In the event that
Lessee shall have elected to purchase the Aircraft on a Special Termination
Date pursuant to Section (a), on such Special Termination Date, Lessee shall
purchase the Aircraft at a price (the "Special Termination Price") equal to the
greater of (I) the Termination Value for the Aircraft, computed as of the
Special Termination Date, and (II) the then fair market sales value of the
Aircraft, as determined by mutual agreement of Lessor and Lessee or, if they
shall be unable to agree, by an Independent Appraisal. On such Special
Termination Date, (x) Lessee (i) shall pay to Lessor or to the Persons entitled
thereto, in funds of the type specified in Section 3(d), all unpaid
Supplemental Rent (including, without limitation, Break Amount, if any, on the
Certificates), other than Termination Value, due and owing on such Special
Termination Date, all Basic Rent due and payable prior to the Special
Termination Date and unpaid and the Basic Rent installment due and payable on
the Special Termination Date pursuant to Section 3(b) (it being understood and
agreed that Lessee shall not be required to pay the portion, if any, of such
Basic Rent installment designated in Exhibit A-1 to the Rent Schedule
49
AF-1
54
as being payable in advance) and (ii) at its option shall either (A) pay to
Lessor, in funds of the type specified in Section 3(d), the Special Termination
Price, or (B) assume all of the rights and obligations of the Owner Trustee
under the Trust Indenture in respect of the Certificates (including, without
limitation, any scheduled payment of principal of, Break Amount, if any, on, or
accrued interest on, the Certificates due and payable on the Special
Termination Date but, provided that the principal of the Certificates shall not
have been accelerated pursuant to Section 4.04 of the Trust Indenture, only to
the extent that the Basic Rent installment payable by Lessee pursuant to clause
(i) above does not cover such scheduled payment of principal of or accrued
interest on the Certificates but excluding any obligations or liabilities of
the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity incurred on or prior to the
Special Termination Date, which obligations and liabilities shall remain the
sole responsibility of the Owner Trustee) in accordance with Section 2.16 of
the Trust Indenture and simultaneously shall pay to Lessor, in funds of the
type specified in Section 3(d), an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the
Special Termination Price over an amount equal to the sum of the principal of,
and any accrued and unpaid interest on, the outstanding Certificates on such
Special Termination Date, after taking into account any payments of principal
or interest made in respect of the outstanding Certificates on such Special
Termination Date, and (y) Lessor will sell to Lessee, without recourse or
warranty (except as to Lessor's Liens), all of Lessor's right, title and
interest in and to the Aircraft and all of Lessor's right, title and interest
in and to any Engines constituting part of the Aircraft but which are not then
installed on the Aircraft and, if Lessee shall not have assumed the rights and
obligations of the Owner Trustee under the Trust Indenture in respect of the
Certificates as provided for above, Lessor will request the Indenture Trustee
to execute and deliver to Lessee an appropriate instrument releasing the
Airframe and Engines with respect to which title is transferred from the lien
of the Trust Indenture and releasing the Purchase Agreement and the Purchase
Agreement Assignment from the assignment and pledge thereunder.
(f) Termination of Lease, Etc. Upon the sale or retention or
purchase of the Aircraft, as the case may be, in compliance with the provisions
of this Section 9, (i) the obligation of Lessee to pay Basic Rent under Sec-
50
AF-1
55
tion 3(b) on any Lease Period Date occurring subsequent to the applicable
Termination Value Determination Date, and (ii) the obligation of Lessee to pay
Supplemental Rent (subject to Section 3(f), other than payments of Supplemental
Rent to be made by Lessee (x) surviving pursuant to Section 7(d) of the
Participation Agreement or Section 10 of the Tax Indemnity Agreement, (y)
pursuant to clause (ii) of the second sentence of Section 3(c) of this Lease,
or (z) in respect of liabilities and obligations of Lessee which have accrued
under any Operative Document but not been paid or which are in dispute as of
the date of such sale or retention) shall cease as of the Termination Date and,
in each case, the Term shall end effective as of the Termination Date.
(g) Termination as to Engines. So long as no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessee shall have the right at
its option at any time, on at least 60 days' prior written notice to Lessor and
the Indenture Trustee, to terminate this Lease with respect to any Engine. In
such event, and prior to the date of such termination, Lessee shall replace
such Engine hereunder 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.
Section 10. Loss, Destruction, Requisition, Etc. (a) Event
of Loss with Respect to the Airframe. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Loss
with respect to the Airframe, Lessee shall forthwith (and, in any event, within
30 days after such occurrence) give Lessor and the Indenture Trustee notice of
such Event of Loss and of its election to perform one of the following options
(it being agreed that, if Lessee shall not have given notice of such election
within such 30 days after such occurrence, Lessee shall be deemed to have
elected to perform the option set forth in the following clause (ii)):
(i) as promptly as practicable, and in any event on or before
the Business Day next preceding the 121st day next following the date
of occurrence of such Event of Loss, in replacement for the Airframe,
Lessee shall convey or cause to be conveyed to Lessor title to a
Replacement Airframe (together with the same number of Replacement
Engines as the Engines, if any, installed on the Airframe at the time
such Event of Loss occurred) to be leased to Lessee hereunder, such
Replacement Airframe and Re-
51
AF-1
56
placement Engines to be free and clear of all Liens (other than
Permitted Liens), to have a value and utility at least equal to, and
to be in as good operating condition as, the Airframe and Engines, if
any, so replaced (assuming such Airframe and Engines were in the
condition and repair required by the terms of this Lease); provided
that, if Lessee shall not perform its obligation to effect such
replacement under this clause (i) during the period of time provided
herein, then Lessee shall pay on the fifteenth day next following the
end of such period to Lessor, or, in the case of Supplemental Rent, to
the Persons entitled thereto, in funds of the type specified in
Section 3(d) hereof, the amounts specified in clause (ii) below; or
(ii) on or before the earlier of 30 days following the date on
which insurance proceeds are received with respect to such Event of
Loss and the Business Day next preceding the 121st day next following
the date of occurrence of such Event of Loss or on the date specified
in the proviso to clause (i) above, if such proviso is applicable (the
"Loss Payment Date"), Lessee shall pay to Lessor or, in the case of
Supplemental Rent, to the Persons entitled thereto, in funds of the
type specified in Section 3(d), (A) the Stipulated Loss Value for the
Aircraft, determined as of the Loss Payment Date, plus (B) all
Supplemental Rent (including, without limitation, the Break Amount, if
any, on the Certificates) due and owing by Lessee to Lessor, the Owner
Participant, the Indenture Trustee and the Loan Participants,
hereunder or under any of the Operative Documents on such Loss Payment
Date, plus (C) if the Casualty Loss Determination Date with respect to
the Stipulated Loss Value is a Lease Period Date, the Basic Rent
installment due and payable on that date pursuant to Section 3(b) (it
being understood and agreed that Lessee shall not be required to pay
the portion, if any, of such Basic Rent installment designated in
Exhibit A-1 to the Rent Schedule as being payable in advance), plus
(D) all Basic Rent due and payable prior to the Casualty Loss
Determination Date and unpaid.
In the event of payment in full of the Stipulated Loss Value
for the Aircraft and all amounts payable pursuant to this Section 10, (1) the
obligation of Lessee to pay any Basic Rent under Section 3(b) on any Lease
52
AF-1
57
Period Date occurring subsequent to the Casualty Loss Determination Date with
respect to which Stipulated Loss Value is determined shall terminate, (2) the
obligation of Lessee to pay Supplemental Rent (subject to Section 3(f), other
than payments of Supplemental Rent to be made by Lessee (x) surviving pursuant
to Section 10 of the Tax Indemnity Agreement or Section 7(d) of the
Participation Agreement, or (y) in respect of liabilities and obligations of
Lessee which have accrued under any of the Operative Documents but not been
paid or which are in dispute as of the date of such payment) shall terminate,
(3) the Term for the Aircraft shall end, (4) Lessor will transfer to Lessee,
without recourse or warranty (except as to Lessor's Liens), all Lessor's right,
title and interest in and to the Airframe and Engines (if any) with respect to
which such Event of Loss occurred, as well as all Lessor's right, title and
interest in and to any Engines constituting part of the Aircraft but not
installed thereon when such Event of Loss occurred, and (5) Lessor will assign
to or as directed by Lessee all claims of Lessor against third Persons relating
to such Airframe and Engines arising from such Event of Loss. Upon such
transfer, Lessor shall request the Indenture Trustee to execute and deliver to
Lessee an appropriate instrument releasing the Airframe and Engines with
respect to which title is transferred from the lien of the Trust Indenture and
releasing the Purchase Agreement and the Purchase Agreement Assignment from the
assignment and pledge thereof thereunder.
At the time of or prior to any replacement of the Airframe and
such Engines, if any, Lessee, at its own expense, will (A) furnish Lessor with
a warranty (as to title) bill of sale in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Lessor (which warranty shall except Permitted Liens) with
respect to the Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, together
with an assignment of any and all manufacturer's warranties applicable thereto
(to the extent such warranties may be so assigned by Lessee) in a form
substantially similar to the Form of Purchase Agreement Assignment attached as
Exhibit III to the Participation Agreement, (B) cause a Lease Supplement
substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, subjecting such Replacement
Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, to this Lease, and duly executed by
Lessee, to be delivered to Lessor for execution and, upon such execution, to be
filed for recordation pursuant to the Federal Aviation Act or, if necessary,
pursuant to the applicable laws of such jurisdiction other than the United
States of America
53
AF-1
58
in which such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, are to be
registered in accordance with Section 7(a), as the case may be, (C) so long as
the Trust Indenture shall not have been satisfied and discharged, cause a Trust
Agreement and Indenture Supplement substantially in the form of Exhibit A to
the Trust Indenture and other requisite documents or instruments for such
Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, to be delivered to Lessor
and to the Indenture Trustee for execution and, upon such execution, to be
filed for recordation pursuant to the Federal Aviation Act or, if necessary,
pursuant to the applicable laws of such jurisdiction other than the United
States of America in which such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines,
if any, are to be registered in accordance with Section 7(a), as the case may
be, (D) so long as the Trust Indenture shall not have been satisfied and
discharged, cause a financing statement or statements with respect to the
Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, and other requisite
documents or instruments to be filed in such place or places as necessary in
order to perfect the security interest therein created by or pursuant to the
Trust Indenture, or, if necessary, pursuant to the applicable laws of the
jurisdiction in which such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if
any, are to be registered in accordance with Section 7(a), as the case may be,
(E) furnish Lessor and the Indenture Trustee with an opinion of Lessee's
counsel addressed to each (which may be Lessee's General Counsel), to the
effect that the bill of sale referred to in clause (A) above constitutes an
effective instrument for the conveyance of title to the Replacement Airframe
and Replacement Engines, if any, to Lessor and to the further effect that upon
such conveyance such substituted property will be leased hereunder and
subjected to the lien of the Trust Indenture, (F) furnish Lessor with a
certificate of an independent aircraft engineer or appraiser certifying that
the Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, have a value and
utility at least equal to, and are in as good operating condition as, the
Airframe and Engines, if any, so replaced assuming such Airframe and Engines
were in the condition and repair required by the terms hereof immediately prior
to the occurrence of such Event of Loss, (G) furnish Lessor and the Indenture
Trustee with (i) such evidence of compliance with the insurance provisions of
Section 11 with respect to such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines as
Lessor may reasonably request and (ii) a certificate from a Responsible Officer
of Lessee certifying that at the time of such replacement
54
AF-1
59
there is no continuing Event of Default, and (H) furnish Lessor and the
Indenture Trustee with a reasoned opinion of Lessee's counsel (which may be
Lessee's General Counsel) addressed to each, to the effect that the Owner
Trustee, as Lessor under the Lease, and the Indenture Trustee, as assignee of
the Owner Trustee's rights under the Lease pursuant to the Indenture, should be
entitled to the benefits of Title 11 U.S.C. Section 1110 with respect to the
Replacement Airframe, provided that (i) such opinion need not be delivered to
the extent that, by reason of a change in law or in judicial or other
governmental interpretation thereof after the Delivery Date, the benefits of
such Section 1110 were not available to the Owner Trustee or the Indenture
Trustee with respect to the Aircraft immediately prior to such substitution and
(ii) such opinion may contain qualifications and assumptions of the tenor
contained in the opinion of Debevoise & Plimpton delivered pursuant to Section
4(J) of the Participation Agreement on the Delivery Date and (I) so long as the
Original Loan Participant is the holder of any Certificate, take such other
actions as the Original Loan Participant shall reasonably request in order that
title to such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, is duly and
properly vested in Lessor, leased hereunder and subjected to the lien of the
Trust Indenture to the same extent as the Airframe, Engine or Engines replaced
thereby. In the case of each Replacement Airframe and each Replacement Engine,
if any, conveyed to Lessor under this Section 10, and each Replacement Engine
conveyed to Lessor under this Section 10, promptly upon the registration of the
Replacement Aircraft and the recordation of the Lease Supplement and the Trust
Agreement and Indenture Supplement or other requisite documents or instruments
covering such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, or such
Replacement Engine pursuant to the Federal Aviation Act (or pursuant to the
applicable laws of the jurisdiction in which such Replacement Airframe and
Replacement Engines, if any, or such Replacement Engine, are to be registered
in accordance with Section 7(a)), Lessee will cause to be delivered to Lessor
and the Indenture Trustee an opinion of counsel to Lessee addressed to each and
to the Certificate Holders as to the due registration of such Replacement
Aircraft, the due recordation of such Lease Supplement and such Trust Agreement
and Indenture Supplement or other requisite documents or instruments and the
validity and perfection of the security interest in the Replacement Aircraft,
Replacement Engines or Replacement Engine, as the case may
55
AF-1
60
be, granted to the Indenture Trustee under the Trust Indenture.
For all purposes hereof, upon passage of title thereto to
Lessor the Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, shall be
deemed part of the property leased hereunder, the Replacement Airframe shall be
deemed an "Airframe" as defined herein, and each such Replacement Engine shall
be deemed an "Engine" as defined herein. No such replacement of the Airframe
or any Engines under the circumstances contemplated by the terms of this
Section 10(a) shall result in any reduction of Basic Rent. Upon such passage
of title, Lessor will transfer to Lessee, without recourse or warranty (except
as to Lessor's Liens), all Lessor's right, title and interest in and to the
replaced Airframe and Engines (if any) installed thereon at the time such Event
of Loss occurred, and upon such transfer, Lessor will request in writing that
the Indenture Trustee execute and deliver to Lessee an appropriate instrument
releasing such replaced Airframe and Engines (if any) installed thereon at the
time such Event of Loss occurred from the lien of the Indenture and releasing
the Purchase Agreement and the Purchase Agreement Assignment from the
assignment and pledge under the Indenture.
(b) Event of Loss with Respect to an Engine. Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Loss with respect to an Engine under circumstances in
which there has not occurred an Event of Loss with respect to the Airframe,
Lessee shall give Lessor prompt written notice thereof and shall, within 90
days after the occurrence of such Event of Loss, convey or cause to be conveyed
to Lessor, as replacement for the Engine with respect to which such Event of
Loss occurred, title to a Replacement Engine free and clear of all Liens (other
than Permitted Liens) and having a value and utility at least equal to, and
being in as good operating condition as, the Engine with respect to which such
Event of Loss occurred, assuming such Engine was of the value and utility and
in the condition and repair required by the terms hereof immediately prior to
the occurrence of such Event of Loss. Prior to or at the time of any such
conveyance, Lessee, at its own expense, will (i) furnish Lessor with a warranty
(as to title) bill of sale in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Lessor (which warranty shall except Permitted Liens) with respect to such
Replacement Engine, (ii) cause a Lease Supplement substantially in the form of
Exhibit A hereto, subjecting
56
AF-1
61
such Replacement Engine to this Lease, and duly executed by Lessee, to be
delivered to Lessor for execution and, upon such execution, to be filed for
recordation pursuant to the Federal Aviation Act, or, if necessary, pursuant to
the applicable laws of such jurisdiction other than the United States of
America in which the Aircraft is registered, (iii) so long as the Trust
Indenture shall not have been satisfied and discharged, comply with the
applicable provisions thereof and cause a Trust Agreement and Indenture
Supplement substantially in the form of Exhibit A to the Trust Indenture or
other requisite documents or instruments for such Replacement Engine to be
delivered to Lessor and to the Indenture Trustee for execution and, upon such
execution, to be filed for recordation pursuant to the Federal Aviation Act or,
if necessary, pursuant to the applicable laws of such jurisdiction other than
the United States of America in which the Aircraft is or is to be registered in
accordance with Section 7(a), as the case may be, (iv) furnish Lessor and the
Indenture Trustee with an opinion of Lessee's counsel addressed to each (which
may be Lessee's General Counsel) to the effect that the bill of sale referred
to in clause (i) above constitutes an effective instrument for the conveyance
of title to such Replacement Engine to Lessor and to the further effect that
upon such conveyance such substituted property will be leased hereunder and
subjected to the lien of the Trust Indenture, (v) furnish Lessor with a
certificate of an aircraft engineer or appraiser (who may be an employee of
Lessee) certifying that such Replacement Engine has a value and utility at
least equal to, and is in as good operating condition as, the Engine so
replaced assuming such Engine was in the condition and repair required by the
terms hereof immediately prior to the occurrence of such Event of Loss, (vi) so
long as the Trust Indenture shall not have been satisfied and discharged, cause
a financing statement or statements with respect to the Replacement Engine or
other requisite documents or instruments to be filed in such place or places as
necessary in order to perfect the security interest therein created by or
pursuant to the Trust Indenture, or, if necessary, pursuant to the applicable
laws of the jurisdiction in which the Aircraft is or is to be registered in
accordance with Section 7(a), as the case may be, and (vii) furnish Lessor and
the Indenture Trustee with such evidence of compliance with the insurance
provisions of Section 11 with respect to such Replacement Engine as Lessor may
reasonably request and (viii) so long as the Original Loan Participant is the
holder of any Certificate, take such
57
AF-1
62
other actions as the Original Loan Participant shall reasonably request in
order that title to such Replacement Engine is duly and property vested in the
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 transfer to Lessee, without recourse
or warranty (except as to Lessor's Liens), all of Lessor's right, title and
interest in and to the Engine with respect to which such Event of Loss
occurred, and Lessor will assign to or as directed by Lessee all claims of
Lessor against third Persons relating to such Engine arising from such Event of
Loss. In addition, upon such transfer Lessor shall request in writing that the
Indenture Trustee execute and deliver to Lessee an appropriate instrument
releasing such Engine from the lien of the Trust Indenture and releasing the
Purchase Agreement and the Purchase Agreement Assignment (in respect solely of
such Engine) from the assignment and pledge under the Trust Indenture. For all
purposes hereof, each such Replacement Engine shall, after such conveyance, be
deemed part of the property leased hereunder and shall be deemed an "Engine" as
defined herein. No Event of Loss with respect to an Engine under the
circumstances contemplated by the terms of this Section 10(b) shall result in
any reduction in Basic Rent.
(c) Application of Payments from Governmental Authorities for
Requisition of Title or Use. Any payments (other than insurance proceeds the
application of which is provided for in Section 11) received at any time by
Lessor or by Lessee from any governmental authority or other Person with
respect to an Event of Loss resulting from the condemnation, confiscation,
theft or seizure of, or requisition of title to or use of, the Airframe or any
Engine, other than a requisition for use by any Government or by the government
of the country of registry of the Aircraft not constituting an Event of Loss,
will be applied as follows:
(i) if such payments are received with respect to the
Airframe or the Airframe and the Engines or engines installed on the
Airframe that has been or is being replaced by Lessee pursuant to
Section 10(a), such payments shall be paid over to, or retained by,
Lessor and upon completion of such replacement be paid over to, or
retained by, Lessee;
58
AF-1
63
(ii) if such payments are received with respect to the Airframe
or the Airframe and the Engines or engines installed on the Airframe
that has not been and will not be replaced pursuant to Section 10(a),
such payments shall, after reimbursement of Lessor for costs and
expenses, be applied in reduction of Lessee's obligation to pay the
Stipulated Loss Value required to be paid by Lessee pursuant to
Section 10(a), 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 the balance, if any, of such payments
remaining thereafter shall be paid over to, and retained by, Lessee
and Lessor, as their interests may appear; and
(iii) if such payments are received with respect to an Engine
under circumstances contemplated by Section 10(b), so much of such
payments remaining after reimbursement of Lessor for costs and
expenses shall be paid over to, or retained by, Lessee; provided that
Lessee shall have fully performed the terms of Section 10(b) with
respect to the Event of Loss for which such payments are made.
(d) Requisition for Use by the Government of the Airframe and
the Engines Installed Thereon. In the event of the requisition for use by any
Government or by the government of the country of registry of the Aircraft
(including for this purpose any agency or instrumentality thereof), including,
without limitation, pursuant to the Civil Reserve Air Fleet Program referred to
in Section 7(b)(iv), of the Airframe and the Engines or engines installed on
the Airframe during the Term, Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor of such
requisition and all of Lessee's obligations under this Lease with respect to
the Aircraft shall continue to the same extent as if such requisition had not
occurred. All payments received by Lessor or Lessee from such Government or
government for the use of the Airframe and Engines or engines during the Term
for the Aircraft shall be paid over to, or retained by, Lessee. In the case of
any requisition for use by the government of the United States (or any agency
or instrumentality thereof whose obligations bear the full faith and credit of
such government) of the Airframe and Engines or engines installed on the
Airframe that would extend beyond the end of the Term, Lessee at its option
may, by written notice to Lessor given not more than 30 nor less than 10 days
before the end of the Term, elect to
59
AF-1
64
declare an Event of Loss with respect to the Airframe and Engines or engines.
Subject to the final paragraph of this Section 10(d), such Event of Loss will
be deemed to have occurred on the final day of the Term. If Lessee does not so
elect to declare an Event of Loss and (1) such requisition fully terminates and
(2) the Airframe and Engines or engines are returned to Lessee before the first
anniversary of the end of the Term, Lessee shall be obligated to return the
Airframe and the Engines or engines to Lessor pursuant to, and in all other
respects to comply with the provisions of, Section 5 as soon as practicable
after the Airframe and Engines or engines are returned to Lessee unless Lessee
shall have exercised its option to purchase the Aircraft pursuant to Sections
9(e), 20(b) or 20(c). In addition, Lessee shall pay to Lessor at monthly
intervals (until the earlier of (i) the return of the Aircraft to Lessor
pursuant to Section 5 and (ii) the first anniversary of the end of the Term),
an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (A) the daily equivalent of
the lesser of (x) 50% of the average annual Basic Rent for the Aircraft payable
during the Term (excluding for this purpose the Interim Period) and (y) the
fair market rental value of the Aircraft for such period, and (B) the amounts
received by Lessor from such government for the use of the Aircraft for such
period. All payments received by Lessor or Lessee from such government for the
use of such Airframe and Engines or engines during the first year after the end
of the Term for the Aircraft shall be paid over to, or retained by, Lessor
unless Lessee shall have exercised its option to purchase the Aircraft pursuant
to Section 9(e), 20(b) or 20(c), in which event all such payments received
after such purchase shall be paid over to, or retained by, Lessee.
If an Event of Loss to the Aircraft shall have occurred as a
result of a requisition for use by the government of the United States of
America (or any instrumentality or agency thereof whose obligations bear the
full faith and credit of such government) that shall have extended more than
one year beyond the end of the Term, or if Lessee shall have elected in
accordance with the third sentence of this Section 10(d) to declare an Event of
Loss as a result of any such requisition that would extend beyond the end of
the Term, or if an Event of Loss to the Aircraft shall have occurred as a
result of a requisition for use by any other Government or government that
shall have extended beyond the end of the Term, Lessor (at the direction of the
Owner Participant) at its
60
AF-1
65
option may, by written notice to Lessee given not more than 20 days after
receiving notice of any such Event of Loss or election, waive the occurrence of
such Event of Loss. In the event that Lessor waives the occurrence of an Event
of Loss, Lessee shall, no later than the later of (i) the date on which such
Event of Default would have occurred and (ii) the tenth day after Lessee shall
have received such notice from Lessor, transfer to Lessor all of Lessee's
right, title and interest to the Airframe and any Engine subject to such
requisition under the agreement or agreements relating to such requisition.
Upon such transfer, (1) the obligation of Lessee to pay Basic Rent shall
terminate, (2) the obligation of Lessee to pay Supplemental Rent (subject to
Section 3(f), other than payments of Supplemental Rent to be made by Lessee (x)
surviving pursuant to Section 10 of the Tax Indemnity Agreement or Section 7(d)
of the Participation Agreement, (y) pursuant to clause (ii) of the second
sentence of Section 3(c) hereof, or (z) in respect of liabilities and
obligations of Lessee which have accrued under any of the Operative Documents
but not been paid or which are in dispute as of the date of such transfer)
shall terminate, (3) all other obligations of Lessee under the Lease,
including, without limitation, any obligation to return the Aircraft in
accordance with Section 5 thereof shall terminate and (4) the Term for the
Aircraft shall end. In addition, in the event that any Engine shall not be
subject to such requisition for use at the time of such transfer, Lessee shall
return such Engine to Lessor in accordance with Section 5 hereof.
(e) Requisition for Use by the Government of an Engine. In
the event of the requisition for use by any Government or by the government of
the country of registry of the Aircraft (including for this purpose any agency
or instrumentality thereof) of any Engine (but not the Airframe), Lessee will
replace such Engine hereunder 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, and any payments received by Lessor or Lessee from such Government or
government with respect to such requisition shall be paid over to, or retained
by, Lessee.
(f) Application of Payments During Existence of Event of
Default. Any amount referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 10(c),
Section 10(d) or Section 10(e) which is payable to Lessee shall not be paid to
Lessee, or if it has been previously paid directly to
61
AF-1
66
Lessee, shall not be retained by Lessee, if at the time of such payment an
Event of Default (or event that with lapse of time would constitute an Event of
Default under Section 14(a), 14(g), 14(h) or 14(i)) shall have occurred and be
continuing, but shall be paid to and held by the Lessor as security for the
obligations of Lessee under this Lease and, subject to the Trust Indenture,
applied against Lessee's payment obligations hereunder when and as they become
due and payable, and at such time as there shall not be continuing any such
Event of Default or event, such amount shall be paid to Lessee to the extent
not applied in accordance with this sentence, provided that if any such amount
has been so held by Lessor as security for more than 90 days during which
period (i) Lessor shall not have been limited by operation of law or otherwise
from exercising remedies hereunder or (ii) Lessor shall not have commenced to
exercise any remedy available to it under Section 15, then such amount shall be
paid to Lessee to the extent not applied as provided above.
Section 11. Insurance. (a) Airline Liability Insurance.
Subject to the rights of Lessee to establish and maintain self-insurance with
respect to bodily injury and property damage liability insurance for aircraft
and engines (including the Aircraft and Engines) in the manner and to the
extent specified in the next sentence, Lessee will carry, or cause to be
carried, at no expense to Lessor, the Indenture Trustee, any Loan Participant
or the Owner Participant, airline liability insurance (including coverage for
bodily injury, contractual liability, passenger legal liability and property
damage liability (exclusive of manufacturer's product liability insurance))
with respect to the Aircraft (i) in amounts which are not less than the airline
liability insurance applicable to similar aircraft and engines which comprise
Lessee's fleet on which Lessee carries insurance, provided that such liability
insurance shall not be less than the amount certified to Lessor on the Delivery
Date, (ii) of the type usually carried by corporations engaged in the same or
similar business, similarly situated with Lessee, and owning or operating
similar aircraft and engines and covering risks of the kind customarily insured
against by Lessee (including, without limitation, war risk and allied perils
insurance), and (iii) which is maintained in effect with insurers of recognized
responsibility. Lessee may self-insure, by way of deductible or premium
adjustment provisions in insurance policies, the risks required to be
62
AF-1
67
insured against pursuant to the preceding sentence, but in no case shall the
self-insurance (including the self-insurance permitted by Section 11(b)) with
respect to all of the aircraft and engines in Lessee's fleet (including,
without limitation, the Aircraft) exceed for any 12-month policy year the
lesser of (x) 50% of the largest replacement value of any single aircraft in
Lessee's fleet or (y) 1-1/2% of the average aggregate insurable value (for the
preceding year) of all aircraft (including, without limitation, the Aircraft)
on which Lessee carries insurance; provided that, in the event that there shall
have occurred a material adverse change in the financial condition of Lessee
from such condition as is reflected in the consolidated financial statements of
Lessee at December 31, 1982, then, upon not less than 30 days' written notice
from Lessor to Lessee, Lessee will, until Lessee's financial condition is on an
overall basis equivalent to its financial condition at December 31, 1982,
reduce the self-insurance permitted hereunder to such reasonable amount as
Lessor may require; provided, further, that a deductible per occurrence
utilized to reduce handling that, in the case of the Aircraft, is not in excess
of the amount customarily allowed as a deductible in the industry, shall be
permitted in addition to the above-mentioned self-insurance. Any policies of
insurance carried in accordance with this Section 11(a) and any policies taken
out in substitution or replacement for any of such policies (A) shall name
Lessor, as lessor of the Aircraft and in its individual capacity, the Indenture
Trustee and each Participant as additional insureds as their respective
Interests may appear (and, so long as the Owner Participant is a direct or
indirect subsidiary of American Telephone and Telegraph Company, shall name
AT&T Capital Corporation and American Telephone and Telegraph Company, and all
Affiliates of each, as additional insureds), (B) shall provide that in respect
of the respective Interests of Lessor, of the Indenture Trustee and of each
Participant in such policies the insurance shall not be invalidated by any
action or inaction of Lessee and shall insure Lessor's, the Indenture Trustee's
and such Participant's (and, if applicable, the Owner Participant's
Affiliates') Interests as they appear, regardless of any breach or violation of
any warranty, declaration or condition contained in such policies by Lessee,
(C) shall provide that, if such insurance is cancelled for any reason whatever,
or any substantial change is made in the policy which affects the coverage
certified hereunder to Lessor, the Indenture Trustee or any Participant (or, if
applic-
63
AF-1
68
able, Affiliates of the Owner Participant), or if such insurance is allowed to
lapse for nonpayment of premium, such cancellation, change or lapse shall not
be effective as to Lessor, the Indenture Trustee or such Participant (or, if
applicable, any Affiliate of the Owner Participant) for 30 days (seven days, or
such other period as is customarily obtainable in the industry, in the case of
any war risk and allied perils coverage) after receipt by Lessor, by the
Indenture Trustee or by such Participant, respectively, of written notice from
such insurers of such cancellation, change or lapse, (D) shall provide that
neither Lessor, the Indenture Trustee nor any Participant (or any Affiliate of
the Owner Participant) shall have any obligation or liability for premiums,
commissions, assessments or calls in connection with such insurance, (E) shall
provide that the insurers shall waive (i) any rights of set-off, counterclaim
or any other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, which they may have
against Lessor, the Indenture Trustee or any Participant (or any Affiliate of
the Owner Participant) and (ii) any rights of subrogation against Lessor, the
Indenture Trustee or any Participant (or any Affiliate of the Owner
Participant) to the extent that Lessee has waived its rights by its agreements
to indemnify any such party pursuant to this Lease or the Participation
Agreement; provided that the exercise by such insurers of rights of subrogation
derived from the rights retained by Lessee shall not, in any way, delay payment
of any claim that would otherwise be payable by such insurers but for the
existence of rights of subrogation derived from rights retained by Lessee, (F)
shall be primary without right of contribution from any other insurance which
may be carried by Lessor, the Indenture Trustee or any Participant (or any
Affiliate of the Owner Participant) with respect to its Interests as such in
the Aircraft and (G) shall expressly provide that all of the provisions
thereof, except the limits of liability, shall operate in the same manner as if
there were a separate policy covering each insured. "Interests" as used in
this Section 11(a) and Section 11(b) with respect to any Person means the
interests of such Person in its capacity as Lessor, Owner Trustee (including in
its individual capacity under the Participation Agreement), Indenture Trustee
or Participant (or, if applicable, as Affiliates of the Owner Participant), as
the case may be, in the leasing transaction contemplated by this Lease, the
Participation Agreement and the Indenture. Lessee shall arrange for
appropriate certification that the requirements of this Section 11(a) have been
met
64
AF-1
69
to be made to Lessor, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Participant (and the
Indenture Trustee may furnish such certificates to each Loan Participant) as
soon as practicable by each insurer or its authorized representative with
respect thereto, provided that all information contained therein shall be held
confidential by Lessor, the Indenture Trustee and each Participant and shall
not be furnished or disclosed by them to anyone other than (i) their Affiliates
and their officers, directors and employees and those of their Affiliates, (ii)
their bank examiners, auditors, accountants, agents, underwriters, lenders,
rating agencies, insurance brokers and legal counsel, (iii) as required by
applicable law, governmental regulation or judicial process, (iv) to such other
Persons as may be reasonably necessary to enforce Lessor's, the Owner
Participant's or the Indenture Trustee's rights, (v) to the extent such
information is made public by Lessee (including by filings with the Federal
Aviation Administration or the Securities and Exchange Commission) and (vi) any
Person with whom any Participant is in good faith conducting negotiations
relating to the possible transfer and sale of such Participant's Certificates
(or participations therein) or interest in the Aircraft, as the case may be, if
such Person shall have entered into an agreement similar to that contained in
this Section 11(a) whereby such Person agrees to hold such information
confidential, and except as may be required by an order of any court or
administrative agency or by any statute, rule, regulation or order of any
governmental authority. In the case of a sublease or contract with any
Government in respect of the Aircraft or any Engine, or in the case of any
requisition for use of the Aircraft or any Engine by any Government, a valid
agreement, reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and the Owner Participant, to
indemnify Lessee against any of the risks which Lessee is required hereunder to
insure against by such Government shall be considered adequate insurance to the
extent of the risks and in the amounts that are the subject of any such
agreement to indemnify.
(b) Insurance Against Loss or Damage to Aircraft. Subject to
the rights of Lessee to establish and maintain self-insurance with respect to
loss or damage to aircraft (including the Aircraft) in the manner and to the
extent specified in the next sentence, Lessee shall maintain, or cause to be
maintained, in effect with insurers of recognized responsibility, at no expense
to Lessor, the Indenture Trustee or any Participant, all-risk aircraft
65
AF-1
70
hull insurance covering the Aircraft and all-risk coverage with respect to any
Engines or Parts while removed from the Aircraft (including, without
limitation, war risk and allied perils insurance if and to the extent the same
is maintained by Lessee or other United States air carriers as to which there
are in force certificates issued pursuant to Section 401 of the Federal
Aviation Act (or any successor provision that gives like authority) and which
are engaged in the same or similar business and are similarly situated with
Lessee with respect to similar aircraft owned or operated by Lessee or by such
United States air carriers, as the case may be, on the same routes) which is of
the type and in substantially the amount usually carried by corporations
engaged in the same or similar business and similarly situated with Lessee;
provided that (i) such insurance (including the permitted self-insurance) shall
at all times while the Aircraft is subject to this Lease be for an amount not
less than the Stipulated Loss Value for the Aircraft from time to time and (ii)
such insurance need not cover an Engine while attached to an airframe not
owned, leased or operated by Lessee. Lessee may self-insure, by way of
deductible or premium adjustment provisions in insurance policies, the risks
required to be insured against pursuant to the preceding sentence, but in no
case shall the self-insurance (including the self-insurance permitted by
Section 11(a)) with respect to all of the aircraft and engines in Lessee's
fleet (including, without limitation, the Aircraft) exceed for any 12-month
policy year the lesser of (i) 50% of the largest replacement value of any
single aircraft in Lessee's fleet or (ii) 1-1/2% of the average aggregate
insurable value (for the preceding year) of all aircraft (including, without
limitation, the Aircraft) on which Lessee carries insurance; provided that, in
the event that there shall have occurred a material adverse change in the
financial condition of Lessee from such condition as is reflected in the
consolidated financial statements of Lessee at December 31, 1982, then, upon
not less than 30 days' written notice from Lessor to Lessee, Lessee will, until
Lessee's financial condition is on an overall basis equivalent to its financial
condition at December 31, 1982, reduce the self-insurance permitted hereunder
to such reasonable amount as Lessor may require; provided, further, that a
deductible per occurrence utilized to reduce handling that, in the case of the
Aircraft, is not in excess of the amount customarily allowed as a deductible in
the industry, shall be permitted in addition to the above-mentioned
self-insurance. Any
66
AF-1
71
policies carried in accordance with this Section 11(b) and any policies taken
out in substitution or replacement for any such policies (A) shall provide that
any loss up to the amount of Stipulated Loss Value for any loss or damage
constituting an Event of Loss with respect to the Aircraft, and any loss in
excess of $7,000,000, up to the amount of Stipulated Loss Value, for any loss
or damage to the Aircraft (or Engines) not constituting an Event of Loss with
respect to the Aircraft, shall be paid to the Indenture Trustee as long as the
Trust Indenture shall not have been discharged pursuant to the terms and
conditions thereof, and thereafter to Lessor, unless, in each case, the insurer
shall have received notice that an Event of Default exists, in which case all
insurance proceeds up to Stipulated Loss Value shall be payable to the
Indenture Trustee or Lessor, as the case may be, (B) shall provide that in
respect of the respective Interests of Lessor, of the Indenture Trustee and of
each Participant in such policies the insurance shall not be invalidated by any
action or inaction of Lessee and shall insure Lessor's, the Indenture Trustee's
and such Participant's Interests, as they appear, regardless of any breach or
violation of any warranty, declaration or condition contained in such policies
by Lessee, (C) shall provide that, if such insurance is cancelled for any
reason whatever, or any material change is made in the policy which affects the
coverage certified hereunder to Lessor, the Indenture Trustee or any
Participant, or if such insurance is allowed to lapse for nonpayment of
premium, such cancellation, change or lapse shall not be effective as to
Lessor, the Indenture Trustee or such Participant for 30 days (seven days, or
such other period as may from time to time be customarily obtainable in the
industry, in the case of any war risk and allied perils coverage) after receipt
by Lessor, the Indenture Trustee or such Participant, respectively, of written
notice from such insurers of such cancellation, change or lapse, (D) shall be
primary without right of contribution from any other insurance which may be
carried by Lessor, the Indenture Trustee or any Participant with respect to its
Interests as such in the Aircraft and (E) shall provide that the insurers shall
waive (i) any rights of set-off, counterclaim or any other deduction, whether
by attachment or otherwise, which they may have against Lessor, the Indenture
Trustee or any Participant and (ii) any rights of subrogation against Lessor,
the Indenture Trustee and any Participant to the extent that Lessee has waived
its rights by its agreements to indemnify any such party pursuant to this Lease
or the Partici-
67
AF-1
72
pation Agreement; provided that the exercise by such insurers of rights of
subrogation derived from rights retained by Lessee shall not, in any way, delay
payment of any claim that would otherwise be payable by such insurers but for
the existence of rights of subrogation derived from rights retained by Lessee.
Lessee shall arrange for appropriate certification that the requirements of
this Section 11(b) have been met to be made promptly to Lessor, the Indenture
Trustee and the Owner Participant (and the Indenture Trustee shall furnish such
certification to each Loan Participant) by each insurer or its authorized
representative with respect thereto, provided that all information contained
therein shall be held confidential by Lessor, the Indenture Trustee and each
Participant and shall not be furnished or disclosed by them to anyone other
than (i) their Affiliates and their officers, directors and employees and those
of their Affiliates, (ii) their bank examiners, auditors, accountants, agents,
underwriters, lenders, rating agencies, insurance brokers and legal counsel,
(iii) as required by applicable law, governmental regulation or judicial
process, (iv) to such other Persons as may be reasonably necessary to enforce
Lessor's, the Owner Participant's or the Indenture Trustee's rights, (v) to the
extent such information is made public by Lessee (including by filings with the
Federal Aviation Administration or the Securities and Exchange Commission) and
(vi) any Person with whom any Participant is in good faith conducting
negotiations relating to the possible transfer and sale of such Participant's
Certificates (or participations therein) or interest in the Aircraft, as the
case may be, if such Person shall have entered into an agreement similar to
that contained in this Section 11(b) whereby such Person agrees to hold such
information confidential, and except as may be required by an order of any
court or administrative agency or by any statute, rule, regulation or order of
any governmental authority. In the case of a sublease or contract with any
Government in respect of the Aircraft or any Engine, or in the case of any
requisition for use of the Aircraft or any Engine by any Government, a valid
agreement, reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and the Owner Participant, to
indemnify Lessee against any of the risks which Lessee is required hereunder to
insure against by such Government in any amount up to the Stipulated Loss Value
of the Aircraft from time to time shall be considered adequate insurance to the
extent of the risks and in the amounts that are the subject of any such
agreement to indemnify.
68
AF-1
73
As between Lessor and Lessee it is agreed that all insurance
payments received under policies required to be maintained by Lessee hereunder,
exclusive of any payments received in excess of the Stipulated Loss Value for
the Aircraft from such policies, as the result of the occurrence of an Event of
Loss with respect to the Airframe or an Engine will be applied as follows:
(x) if such payments are received with respect to the
Airframe or the Airframe and any Engines or engines installed on the
Airframe that has been or is being replaced by Lessee as contemplated
by Section 10(a), such payments shall be paid over to, or retained by,
Lessor, and upon completion of such replacement be paid over to, or
retained by, Lessee;
(y) if such payments are received with respect to the Airframe
or the Airframe and any Engines or engines installed thereon that has
not been and will not be replaced as contemplated by Section 10(a), so
much of such payments remaining after reimbursement of Lessor for
costs and expenses as shall not exceed the Stipulated Loss Value
required to be paid by Lessee pursuant to Section 10(a) shall be
applied in reduction of Lessee's obligation to pay such Stipulated
Loss Value, 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 the balance, if any, of such payment
remaining thereafter will be paid over to, or retained by, Lessee; and
(z) if such payments are received with respect to an Engine
under the circumstances contemplated by Section 10(b), so much of such
payments remaining after reimbursement of Lessor for costs and
expenses shall be paid over to, or retained by, Lessee; provided that
Lessee shall have fully performed the terms of Section 10(b) with
respect to the Event of Loss for which such payments are made.
As between Lessor and Lessee the insurance payment for any
loss or damage to the Aircraft in excess of the Stipulated Loss Value for the
Aircraft shall be paid to Lessee.
As between Lessor and Lessee the insurance payments for any
loss or damage to the Airframe or an Engine
69
AF-1
74
not constituting an Event of Loss with respect to the Airframe or such Engine
will be applied in payment (or to reimburse Lessee) for repairs or for
replacement property in accordance with the terms of Sections 7 and 8, and any
balance remaining after compliance with such Sections with respect to such loss
shall be paid to Lessee. Any amount referred to in the preceding sentence or
in clause (x), (y) or (z) of the second preceding paragraph which is payable to
Lessee shall not be paid to Lessee or, if it has been previously paid directly
to Lessee, shall not be retained by Lessee, if at the time of such payment an
Event of Default (or event that with lapse of time would constitute an Event of
Default under Section 14(a), 14(g), 14(h) or 14(i)) shall have occurred and be
continuing, but shall be paid to and held by the Indenture Trustee, or if the
Trust Indenture shall have been terminated pursuant to the terms thereof,
Lessor, as security for the obligations of Lessee under this Lease, and may be
applied against Lessee's payment obligations hereunder when and as they become
due and payable, and at such time as there shall not be continuing any such
Event of Default or event, such amount shall be paid to Lessee, to the extent
not applied in accordance with this sentence, provided that if any such amount
has been so held by Lessor as security for more than 90 days during which
period (i) Lessor shall not have been limited by operation of law or otherwise
from exercising remedies hereunder and (ii) Lessor shall not have exercised any
remedy available to it under Section 15, then such amount shall be paid to
Lessee.
(c) Reports, Etc. On or before the Delivery Date, and
annually upon renewal of Lessee's insurance coverage, Lessee will furnish to
Lessor, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Participant (and the Indenture
Trustee shall furnish to each Loan Participant) a report signed by a firm of
independent aircraft insurance brokers appointed by Lessee, stating the opinion
of such firm that the insurance then carried and maintained on the Aircraft
complies with the terms hereof; provided that all information contained in such
report shall be held confidential by Lessor, the Indenture Trustee and each
Participant and shall not be furnished or disclosed by them to anyone other
than (i) their Affiliates and their officers, directors and employees and those
of their Affiliates, (ii) their bank examiners, auditors, accountants, agents,
underwriters, lenders, rating agencies, insurance brokers and legal counsel,
(iii) as required by applicable law, governmental regulation or judicial
process, (iv) to such
70
AF-1
75
other Persons as may be reasonably necessary to enforce Lessor's, the Owner
Participant's or the Indenture Trustee's rights, (v) to the extent such
information is made public by Lessee (including by filings with the Federal
Aviation Administration or the Securities and Exchange Commission) and (vi) any
Person with whom any Participant is in good faith conducting negotiations
relating to the possible transfer and sale of such Participant's Certificates
(or participations therein) or interest in the Aircraft, as the case may be, if
such Person shall have entered into an agreement similar to that contained in
this Section 11(c) whereby such Person agrees to hold such information
confidential, and except as may be required by an order of any court or
administrative agency or by any statute, rule, regulation or order of any
governmental authority. Lessee will cause such firm to advise Lessor, the
Indenture Trustee and the Owner Participant, in writing promptly of any default
in the payment of any premium and of any other act or omission on the part of
Lessee of which such firm has knowledge and which might invalidate or render
unenforceable, in whole or in part, any insurance on the Aircraft. Lessee will
also cause such firm to advise Lessor, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner
Participant, in writing as promptly as practicable after such firm acquires
knowledge that an interruption or reduction of any insurance carried and
maintained on the Aircraft pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11 will
occur.
(d) Insurance for Own Account. Nothing in this Section 11
shall limit or prohibit the Owner Participant (either directly or in the name
of the Owner Trustee) or Lessee from obtaining insurance for its own account
with respect to the Airframe or any Engine and any proceeds payable thereunder
shall be payable as provided in the insurance policy relating thereto, provided
that (i) no such insurance may be obtained which would limit or otherwise
adversely affect the coverage or amounts payable under insurance required to be
maintained pursuant to this Section 11, it being understood that all salvage
rights to the Airframe or such Engine shall remain with Lessee's insurers at
all times, and (ii) the Owner Participant may obtain hull insurance on the
Aircraft only to the extent the procurement of such insurance does not have an
adverse effect on Lessee's ability or cost to obtain such insurance, except
that the limitation in the foregoing clause (i) on the Owner Participant's
right to obtain liability insurance shall not apply during any period in which
Lessee is providing a Government indemnity in lieu
71
AF-1
76
of the liability insurance required by Section 11(a) and the limitations in
clauses (i) and (ii) on the Owner Participant's rights to obtain hull insurance
shall not apply during any period in which Lessee is providing a Government
indemnity in lieu of the hull insurance required by Section 11(b).
Section 12. Inspection. At all reasonable times during the
Term, but upon at least 5 days' prior written notice to Lessee, Lessor, the
Original Loan Participant or the Indenture Trustee or any of their respective
authorized representatives may at their own expense and risk conduct a visual
walk-around inspection of the Aircraft and any Engine (including a visual
walk-around inspection of the Aircraft during any regularly scheduled heavy
maintenance visit for the Aircraft conducted by Lessee during the Term) and may
inspect the books and records of Lessee relating thereto; provided that (a)
such representatives shall be fully insured to the reasonable satisfaction of
Lessee by Lessor, the Original Loan Participant or the Indenture Trustee, as
the case may be, with respect to any risks incurred in connection with any such
inspection, (b) any such inspection shall be subject to the safety, security
and workplace rules applicable at the location where such inspection is
conducted and any applicable governmental rules or regulations and (c) in the
case of an inspection during a maintenance visit, such inspection shall not in
any respect interfere with the normal conduct of such maintenance visit or
extend the time required for such maintenance visit. All information obtained
in connection with any such inspection shall be held confidential by Lessor,
the Indenture Trustee and each Participant and shall not be furnished or
disclosed by them to anyone (it being understood that each Loan Participant may
disclose such information to any other Loan Participant or to any holder of a
participation in such Loan Participant's Certificates) other than (i) their
Affiliates and their officers, directors and employees and those of their
Affiliates, (ii) their bank examiners, auditors, accountants, agents, legal
counsel, underwriters, lenders, rating agencies and authorized insurance
brokers, (iii) as required by applicable law, governmental regulation or
judicial process, (iv) to such other Persons as may be reasonably necessary to
enforce Lessor's, the Owner Participant's or the Indenture Trustee's rights,
(v) to the extent such information is made public by Lessee (including by
filings with the Federal Aviation Administration or the Securities and Exchange
Commission) and
72
AF-1
77
(vi) any Person with whom any Participant is in good faith conducting
negotiations relating to the possible transfer and sale of such Participant's
Certificates (or participations therein) or interest in the Aircraft, as the
case may be, if such Person shall have entered into an agreement similar to
that contained in this Section 12 whereby such Person agrees to hold such
information confidential, and except as may be required by an order of any
court or administrative agency or by any statute, rule, regulation or order of
any governmental authority or as may be necessary for the enforcement of this
Lease by Lessor or the Indenture Trustee. Lessee will, upon the request of
Lessor, the Original Loan Participant or the Indenture Trustee at any time,
notify Lessor, the Original Loan Participant or the Indenture Trustee, as the
case may be, of the time and location of the next scheduled heavy maintenance
visit to be conducted by Lessee in respect of the Aircraft during the Term;
provided that Lessee shall have the right in its sole discretion to reschedule,
or change the location of, any maintenance visit of which it shall have
notified Lessor, the Original Loan Participant or the Indenture Trustee
pursuant to this sentence, Lessee hereby agreeing to use reasonable efforts to
notify Lessor, the Original Loan Participant or the Indenture Trustee, as the
case may be, of any such rescheduling or change. None of Lessor, the Indenture
Trustee or any Participant shall have any duty to make any such inspection and
shall not incur any liability or obligation by reason of not making any such
inspection. No inspection pursuant to this Section 12 shall relieve Lessee of
any of its obligations under this Lease. No inspection pursuant to this
Section 12 shall interfere with the use, operation or maintenance of the
Aircraft or the normal conduct of Lessee's business, and Lessee shall not be
required to undertake or incur any additional liabilities in connection
therewith.
Section 13. Assignment, Citizenship, Etc. Except as
otherwise provided in Section 7(b) or in the case of any requisition for use by
any Government referred to in Section 7(a), Lessee will not, without the prior
written consent of Lessor, assign any of its rights hereunder, except as
permitted by Section 13 of the Participation Agreement. Except as elsewhere
herein provided or as expressly permitted by the provisions of the
Participation Agreement, Lessor agrees that it will not assign or convey its
right, title and interest in and to this Lease or the Aircraft; provided,
however, that, in each case where so
73
AF-1
78
provided or permitted, the transferee shall be domiciled in the United States,
shall be a "citizen of the United States" within the meaning of Section 101(16)
of the Federal Aviation Act and shall assume all of the obligations of Lessor
under this Lease. To the extent required to entitle the Owner Trustee as
Lessor under this Lease to the benefits of Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code,
Lessee shall maintain in force a certificate issued pursuant to Section 401 of
the Federal Aviation Act or any successor provision that gives like authority.
The terms and provisions of this Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of Lessor and Lessee and their respective permitted successors and
assigns.
Section 14. Events of Default. The following events shall
constitute Events 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) and each such
Event of Default shall be deemed to exist and continue so long as, but only as
long as, it shall not have been remedied:
(a) Lessee shall fail to make any payment of Basic Rent,
Stipulated Loss Value or Termination Value within 15 days after the
same shall have become due or of any other amount of Supplemental Rent
within 15 days after written notice of such failure by Lessor; or
(b) Lessee shall fail to carry and maintain insurance on or
with respect to the Aircraft in accordance with the provisions of

which cancellation, change or lapse for nonpayment of premium shall
not be effective as to Lessor, the Indenture Trustee or any
Participant (or, if applicable, any Affiliate of the Owner
Participant) for 30 days (seven days, or such other period as may from
time to time be customarily obtainable in the industry, in the case of
any war risk and allied perils coverage) after receipt of notice by
Lessor, the Indenture Trustee or any Participant of such cancellation,
change or lapse, no such failure to carry and maintain insurance shall
constitute an Event of Default hereunder until the earlier of (i) the
date such failure shall have continued unremedied for a period
74
AF-1
79
of 20 days (five days in the case of any war risk and allied perils
coverage) after receipt by Lessor of the notice of cancellation,
change or lapse referred to in Section 11(a)(C) or 11(b)(C), or (ii)
such insurance not being in effect as to any of Lessor, the Indenture
Trustee and any Participant (or, if applicable, any Affiliate of the
Owner Participant); or
(c) Lessee shall operate the Aircraft at a time when public

or
(d) Lessee shall fail to perform or observe any other

hereunder or under the Participation Agreement, any Lease Supplement,
the Bills of Sale or the Purchase Agreement Assignment, and such
failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days after
written notice thereof by Lessor; provided that, if such failure is
capable of being remedied, so long as Lessee is diligently proceeding
to remedy such failure (other than a failure to perform or observe the
provisions of the penultimate sentence of Section 13), no such failure
shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder for a period of up to
365 days; or
(e) any material representation or warranty made by Lessee in
this Lease or in the Participation Agreement, any Lease Supplement,
the Bills of Sale or the Purchase Agreement Assignment or in any
document furnished by Lessee pursuant hereto or thereto (other than in
the Tax Indemnity Agreement or any document furnished by Lessee
pursuant thereto) shall prove to have been incorrect in any material
respect at the time made, and such incorrectness shall continue to be
material and unremedied for a period of 30 days after written notice
thereof by Lessor; or
(f) Lessee shall consent to the appointment of a receiver,
trustee or liquidator of itself or of a substantial 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

75
AF-1
80
(g) Lessee shall file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or a
voluntary petition or an answer seeking reorganization in a proceeding
under any bankruptcy laws (as now or hereafter in effect) or an answer
admitting the material allegations of a petition filed against Lessee
in any such proceeding, or Lessee shall by voluntary petition or
answer, consent to or seek relief under the provisions of any other
now existing or future bankruptcy or other similar law providing for
the reorganization or winding-up of corporations, or providing for an
agreement, composition, extension or adjustment with its creditors; or
(h) an order, judgment or decree shall be entered by any

appointment or sequestration shall remain in force undismissed,
unstayed or unvacated for a period of 90 days after the date of entry
thereof; or
(i) a petition against Lessee in a proceeding under the
Federal bankruptcy laws or other insolvency laws, as now or hereafter
in effect, shall be filed and shall not be withdrawn or dismissed
within 90 days thereafter, or, 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 90
days;
provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Lease, any failure of Lessee to perform or observe any covenant, condition, or
agreement herein shall not constitute an Event of Default if such failure is
caused solely by reason of an event referred to in the definition of "Event of
Loss" so long as Lessee is continuing to comply with the applicable terms of
Section 10.
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, at its option,
76
AF-1
81
declare this Lease to be in default by a written notice to Lessee (provided
that this Lease shall be deemed to have been declared in default without the
necessity of such written notice upon the occurrence of any Event of Default
described in paragraph (g), (h) or (i) of Section 14 hereof); and at any time
thereafter, so long as Lessee shall not have remedied all outstanding Events of
Default, Lessor may do one or more of the following with respect to all or any
part of the Airframe and any Engines as Lessor in its sole discretion shall
elect, to the extent permitted by, and subject to compliance with any mandatory
requirements of, applicable law then in effect; provided that during any period
when the Aircraft is subject to the Civil Reserve Air Fleet Program in
accordance with the provisions of Section 7(b) and in the possession of the
United States government or an instrumentality or agency thereof, Lessor shall
not, on account of any Event of Default, be entitled to do any of the following
in such manner as to limit Lessee's control under this Lease (or any
sublessee's control under any sublease permitted by the terms of this Lease) of
any Airframe or any Engines, unless at least 60 days' (or such lesser period as
may then be applicable under the Military Airlift Command Program of the United
States Government) prior written notice of default hereunder shall have been
given by Lessor by registered or certified mail to Lessee (or any sublessee)
with a copy addressed to the Contracting Office Representative for the Military
Airlift Command of the United States Air Force under any contract with Lessee
(or any sublessee) relating to the Aircraft:
(a) cause Lessee, upon the written demand of Lessor and at
Lessee's expense, to return promptly, and Lessee shall return
promptly, all or such part of the Airframe or any Engine as Lessor may
so demand to Lessor or its order in the manner and condition required
by, and otherwise in accordance with all the provisions of, Section 5,
as if the Airframe or such Engine were being returned at the end of
the Term, or Lessor, at its option, may enter upon the premises where
all or any part of the Airframe or any Engine are located and take
immediate possession of and remove the same (together with any engine
which is not an Engine but which is installed on the Airframe, subject
to all of the rights of the owner, lessor, lienor or secured party of
such engine; provided that the Airframe with an engine (which is not
an Engine) installed thereon may be flown or returned only to a
77
AF-1
82
location within the continental United States, and such engine shall
be held for the account of any such owner, lessor, lienor or secured
party or, if owned by Lessee, may, at the option of Lessor, be
exchanged with Lessee for an Engine in accordance with the provisions
of Section 5(b)) by summary proceedings or otherwise, all without
liability accruing to Lessor for or by reason of such entry or taking
of possession or removal, whether for the restoration of damage to
property caused by such taking or otherwise;
(b) sell all or any part of the Airframe and any Engine at
public or private sale, whether or not Lessor shall at the time have
possession thereof, as Lessor may determine, or otherwise dispose of,
hold, use, operate, lease to others or keep idle all or any part of
the Airframe or such Engine as Lessor, in its sole discretion, may
determine, all free and clear of any rights of Lessee except as
hereinafter set forth 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 such
paragraph (d) in lieu of its rights under paragraph (c) below;
(c) whether or not Lessor shall have exercised, or shall
thereafter at any time exercise, any of its rights under paragraph (a)
or paragraph (b) above with respect to all or any part of the Airframe
or any Engine, Lessor, by written notice to Lessee specifying a
payment date (which date shall be deemed to be a "Termination Date"
for purposes of computing Termination Value) which shall be not
earlier than 30 days from the date of such notice, may demand that
Lessee pay to Lessor, and Lessee shall pay Lessor, on the payment date
specified in such notice, as liquidated damages for loss of a bargain
and not as a penalty (in lieu of the Basic Rent due for Lease Periods
commencing on or after the Lease Period Date next preceding the
payment date specified in such notice), if the Termination Date is a
Lease Period Date, the Basic Rent installment due and payable on that
date pursuant to Section 3(b) (it being understood and agreed that
Lessee shall not be required to pay the portion, if any, of such Basic
Rent installment designated in Exhibit A-1 to the Rent Schedule as
being
78
AF-1
83
payable in advance) or, if the Termination Date is not a Lease Period
Date and if Basic Rent is payable in arrears during the Lease Period
commencing on the Lease Period Date next preceding the Termination
Date, an amount equal to the Accrued Arrears Basic Rent for the period
from and including such Lease Period Date to but excluding the
Termination Date, less any credit to which Lessee shall be entitled as
hereinafter in this Section 15(c) provided, plus whichever of the
following amounts Lessor, in its sole discretion, shall specify in
such notice (together with interest, if any, on such amount at the
applicable Overdue Rate from the Termination Date to but excluding the
date of actual payment): (i) an amount equal to the excess, if any,
of the Termination Value for the Airframe or such Engine or part
thereof, computed as of the payment date specified in such notice,
over the aggregate fair market rental value (computed as hereafter
provided in this Section 15) of the Airframe or such Engine or part
thereof for the remainder of the Term, after discounting such
aggregate fair market rental value semi-annually (effective on the
Lease Period Dates) to present worth as of the payment date specified
in such notice at the Assumed Debt Rate; or (ii) an amount equal to
the excess, if any, of the Termination Value for the Airframe or such
Engine or part thereof computed as of the payment date specified in
such notice, over the fair market sales value (computed as hereafter
provided in this Section 15) of the Airframe or such Engine or part
thereof as of the payment date specified in such notice; provided that
if the Termination Date is not a Lease Period Date and if any portion
of the Basic Rent installment paid in respect of the Lease Period
commencing on the Lease Period Date next preceding the Termination
Date is designated in Exhibit A-1 to the Rent Schedule as having been
payable in advance, Lessee shall, if and so long as it shall have paid
in full all Rent otherwise payable by it hereunder or pursuant hereto,
be entitled to a credit against the amounts payable by it pursuant to
this Section 15(c) in an amount equal to the lesser of the Unearned
Advance Basic Rent as of the Termination Date and the amount, if any,
by which such aggregate fair market rental value or such fair market
sales value, as the case may be, exceeds such Termination Value; and
provided, further, that in the event that the amount calculated
pursuant to
79
AF-1
84
this sentence to be credited exceeds the amount payable by Lessee
pursuant to this Section 15(c) and any other amounts payable by Lessee
hereunder as a result of the applicable Event of Default or the
exercise of Lessor's remedies with respect thereto, the Owner
Participant will be obligated to rebate an amount equal to such excess
to Lessee;
(d) in the event Lessor, pursuant to paragraph (b) above,
shall have sold all or any part of the Airframe or any Engine, Lessor,
in lieu of exercising its rights under paragraph (c) above with
respect to the Airframe or such Engine or part thereof, may, if it
shall so elect, demand that Lessee pay Lessor, and Lessee shall pay to
Lessor, on the date of such sale (which date shall be deemed a
"Termination Date" for purposes of computing Termination Value), as
liquidated damages for loss of a bargain and not as a penalty (in lieu
of the Basic Rent due for Lease Periods commencing on or after the
Lease Period Date next preceding the date of such sale), if the
Termination Date is a Lease Period Date, the Basic Rent installment
due and payable on that date pursuant to Section 3(b) (it being
understood and agreed that Lessee shall not be required to pay the
portion, if any, of such Basic Rent installment designated in Exhibit
A-1 to the Rent Schedule as being payable in advance) or, if the
Termination Date is not a Lease Period Date and if Basic Rent is
payable in arrears during the Lease Period commencing on the Lease
Period Date next preceding the Termination Date, an amount equal to
the Accrued Arrears Basic Rent for the period from and including such
Lease Period Date to but excluding the Termination Date, less any
credit to which Lessee shall be entitled as hereinafter in this
Section 15(d) provided, plus the amount of any deficiency between the
net proceeds of such sale and the Termination Value for the Airframe
or such Engine or part thereof, computed as of the date of such sale;
provided that if the Termination Date is not a Lease Period Date and
if any portion of the Basic Rent installment paid in respect of the
Lease Period commencing on the Lease Period Date next preceding the
Termination Date is designated in Exhibit A-1 to the Rent Schedule as
having been payable in advance, Lessee shall, if and so long as it
shall have paid in full all Rent otherwise payable by it hereunder or
pursuant hereto, be entitled to a credit
80
AF-1
85
against the amounts payable by it pursuant to this Section 15(d) in an
amount equal to the lesser of the Unearned Advance Basic Rent as of
the Termination Date and the amount, if any, by which such net
proceeds of such sale exceed such Termination Value; and provided,
further, that in the event that the amount calculated pursuant to this
sentence to be credited exceeds the amount payable by Lessee pursuant
to this Section 15(d) and any other amounts payable by Lessee
hereunder as a result of the applicable Event of Default or the
exercise of Lessor's remedies with respect thereto, the Owner
Participant will be obligated to rebate an amount equal to such excess
to Lessee; and
(e) Lessor may rescind this Lease as to the Airframe and any
or all Engines, or may exercise any other right or remedy which may be
available to it under applicable law or proceed by appropriate court
action or actions, either at law or in equity, to enforce the terms or
to recover damages for the breach hereof.
In addition, Lessee shall be liable, except as otherwise
provided in paragraphs (c) and (d) above and without limiting the effect of the
penultimate sentence of Section 3(c), without duplication of any amounts
payable hereunder, for any and all unpaid Rent due hereunder before, after or
during the exercise of any of the foregoing remedies and for all legal fees and
other costs and expenses incurred by reason of the occurrence of any Event of
Default or the exercise of Lessor's remedies with respect thereto, including
all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the retaking or return of
the Airframe or any Engine in accordance with the terms of Section 5 or in
placing such Airframe or Engine in the condition and airworthiness required by
such Section; provided that, if Lessee returns or surrenders possession of all
or any part of the Airframe or any Engine in accordance with this Section 15
and Lessor does not within 365 days after the date of such return or surrender
exercise its rights under paragraph (c) or (d) above with respect to such
Airframe or Engine or part thereof, there shall be deducted from each payment
of Basic Rent becoming due after the expiration of such 365-day period an
amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the aggregate fair market
rental value (computed as hereafter provided in this Section 15) of such
Airframe or Engine or part thereof, for the re-
81
AF-1
86
mainder of the Term after the expiration of such 365-day period (computed as of
the date of such expiration), by the number of Basic Rent installments
remaining with respect to the Aircraft after the expiration of such 365-day
period to the end of the Term; and provided, further, that Lessor and Lessee
agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease,
the Trust Indenture, the Participation Agreement, the Tax Indemnity Agreement
or any other document or instrument relating hereto or thereto, Lessee shall
have no responsibility or liability for any amounts payable to any Loan
Participant in respect of the Break Amount, if any, payable with respect to the
Certificates as a result of (x) a purchase of the Certificates pursuant to
Section 2.13 of the Trust Indenture as a result of an Indenture Default that
does not also constitute an Event of Default or (y) an Indenture Default that
does not also constitute an Event of Default. For purposes of paragraph (c)
above and the preceding sentence, the "aggregate fair market rental value" or
the "fair market sales value" of the Airframe or any Engine or any part thereof
shall be as specified in an Independent Appraisal. At any sale of the Airframe
or any Engine or part thereof pursuant to this Section 15, Lessor or any
Participant may bid for and purchase such property. 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;
and 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
or all of such other remedies. No express or implied waiver by Lessor of any
Event of Default shall in any way be, or be construed to be, a waiver of any
future or subsequent Event of Default.
Section 16. Single Transaction. Lessor and Lessee agree that
the transactions contemplated by this Lease, the Participation Agreement, the
Tax Indemnity Agreement, the other Operative Documents and the Rent Schedule
are intended to and shall be construed to constitute one transaction. Lessee
and Lessor hereby acknowledge that this Lease is a "lease" for purposes of
Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code. So long as said Section 1110, or any
successor or comparable provision affording protection to lessors of aircraft
from the automatic stay under the Bankruptcy Code (then in effect) is in
effect, Lessee hereby agrees that it will not, in
82
AF-1
87
connection with any bankruptcy proceeding involving Lessee, take a position in
the United States Bankruptcy Court that is inconsistent with Lessor's rights
under said Section 1110 or said successor or comparable provision.
Section 17. Further Assurances; Financial Information.
Forthwith upon the execution and delivery of each Lease Supplement and Trust
Agreement and Indenture Supplement, Lessee will cause such Lease Supplement and
Trust Agreement and Indenture Supplement (and, in the case of the initial Lease
Supplement and Trust Agreement and Indenture Supplement with respect to the
Aircraft, this Lease, the Trust Indenture and the Trust Agreement) to be duly
filed and recorded in accordance with the Federal Aviation Act. In addition,
each of Lessor and Lessee will promptly and duly execute and deliver to the
other party hereto such further documents and assurances and take such further
action as such other party may from time to time reasonably request in order
effectively to carry out the intent and purpose of this Lease, including,
without limitation, if requested by Lessor, the execution and delivery of
supplements or amendments hereto or, in the case of Lessor, to the Trust
Indenture, in recordable form, subjecting to this Lease and, in the case of
Lessor, to the Trust Indenture, any Replacement Airframe or Replacement Engine
and the recording or filing of counterparts hereof or thereof, in accordance
with the laws of such jurisdictions as Lessor may from time to time deem
advisable; provided that this sentence is not intended to impose upon Lessee
any additional liabilities not otherwise contemplated by this Lease and the
Participation Agreement. Lessee also agrees to furnish Lessor, the Owner
Participant and the Indenture Trustee (i) within 60 days after the end of each
of the first three quarterly fiscal periods in each fiscal year of Lessee, a
consolidated balance sheet of Lessee and its consolidated subsidiaries prepared
by it as of the close of such period, together with the related consolidated
statements of income and cash flows for such period, (ii) within 120 days after
the close of each fiscal year of Lessee, a consolidated balance sheet of Lessee
and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the close of such fiscal year, together
with the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows for such
fiscal year, as certified by independent public accountants, (iii) within 120
days after the close of each fiscal year of Lessee, a certificate of Lessee,
signed by a Responsible Officer of Lessee and addressed to Lessor, the
Indenture Trustee and the Owner Participant,

88
to the effect that the signer has reviewed the relevant terms of this Lease and
the Participation Agreement and has made, or caused to be made under his
supervision, a review of the transactions and condition of Lessee during the
accounting period covered by the financial statements referred to in clause
(ii) above, and that such review has not disclosed the existence during such
accounting period, nor does the signer have knowledge of the existence as at
the date of such certificate, of any condition or event which constitutes an
Event of Default or which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would
constitute 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
Lessee has taken or is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto, and
(iv) from time to time such other non-confidential information as Lessor or the
Indenture Trustee may reasonably request.
Section 18. Notices. All notices required under the terms
and provisions of this Lease shall be in English and in writing, and any such
notice may be given by United States mail, courier service, telegram, telex,

by telegram, telex, cable or facsimile) or any other customary means of

time to time designate in writing to Lessor and Lessee. Prior to the discharge
of the lien of the Trust Indenture, Lessee shall furnish the Indenture Trustee
directly with a copy of each report, notice, request, demand, certificate,
financial statement or other instrument or document furnished to Lessor
hereunder.
Section 19. No Setoff, Counterclaim, Etc. This Lease is a
net lease and it is intended that Lessee shall pay all costs and expenses of
every character whether seen or unforeseen, ordinary or extraordinary, or
structural or nonstructural in connection with the use, operation, maintenance,
repair and reconstruction of the Airframe and each Engine by Lessee, including
the costs and expenses particularly set forth in this Lease. Lessee's
obligation to pay all Rent payable hereunder shall, subject to Section 3(f) and
the final sentence of Section 3(c), be absolute and unconditional and shall not
be affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, (i) any
setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which Lessee may have
against Lessor, any Participant, the Indenture Trustee or anyone else for any
reason whatsoever, (ii) any defect in the title, airworthiness, condition,
design, operation or fitness for use of, or any damage to or loss or
destruction of, the Aircraft, or any interruption or cessation in or
prohibition of the use or possession thereof by Lessee for any reason
whatsoever, (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or similar
proceedings by or against Lessee or any other Person or (iv) any other
circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not unforeseen or
similar to any of the foregoing. If for any reason whatsoever this Lease shall
be terminated in whole or in part by operation of law or otherwise, except as
specifically provided herein, Lessee nonetheless agrees, subject to Section
3(f), to pay to Lessor an amount equal to each Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent
payment under Section 3 at the time such payment would have become due and
payable in accordance with the terms hereof had this Lease not been terminated
in whole or in part. 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. Each payment of Rent made by Lessee shall be final as to Lessor
and Lessee, and Lessee will not seek to recover all or any part of any such
payment of Rent from Lessor or from the Indenture Trustee for any reason
85
AF-1
90
whatsoever; provided that nothing in this sentence shall be construed to modify
or limit in any way Lessee's rights under Section 3(f) and the penultimate
sentence of Section 3(c) or its rights to rebate under Section 9(b), 9(d),
15(c) or 15(d).
Section 20. Renewal Options; Purchase Options. (a) Renewal
Options. Lessee shall have the right to extend this Lease with respect to the
Aircraft for up to five additional periods of one year each (each such period
being hereinafter referred to as a "Renewal Term"), each commencing at the end
of the Term or a Renewal Term. Such option to renew shall be exercised upon
irrevocable written notice from Lessee to Lessor given not less than 120 days
prior to the commencement of the first day of each Renewal Term and if no Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on such date, then this Lease
shall be extended for the additional period of such Renewal Term on the same
conditions provided for herein, and upon such extension, the word "Term"
whenever used herein shall be deemed to refer, unless the context otherwise
requires, to such Renewal Term; provided that the rental payable during such
Renewal Term shall be at a rental rate equal to (i) in the case of the first
Renewal Term the lesser of (x) the Renewal Term Rate and (y) the fair market
rental value for the Aircraft determined within 90 days after such election by
mutual agreement of Lessor and Lessee or, if they shall be unable to agree, by
an Independent Appraisal, and (ii) in the case of any Renewal Term thereafter,
the fair market rental value of the Aircraft determined within 90 days after
such election by mutual agreement of Lessor and Lessee or, if they shall be
unable to agree, by an Independent Appraisal; and provided, further, that the
provisions of Section 9 shall not be applicable during any Renewal Term. The
amounts which are payable during any such Renewal Term in respect of
Termination Value as used in Section 15 and Stipulated Loss Value with respect
to the Aircraft shall be determined on the basis of the fair market sales value
of the Aircraft as of the commencement of such Renewal Term, amortized on a
straight-line basis over such Renewal Term to the fair market sales value of
the Aircraft as of the expiration of such Renewal Term, as such fair market
sales value in each case is determined prior to the commencement of such
Renewal Term by mutual agreement of Lessor and Lessee or, if they shall be
unable to agree, as determined by an Independent Appraisal.
86
AF-1
91
(b) Special Purchase Option. On July 2, 2012, or, if such
date is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (the "Special
Purchase Option Date"), Lessee shall have the right, at its option, to purchase
the Aircraft. Such option to purchase the Aircraft shall be exercised
irrevocably upon written notice from Lessee to Lessor given not less than 120
days prior to the Special Purchase Option Date. In the event that Lessee shall
have so elected to purchase the Aircraft, on the Special Purchase Option Date,
(x) Lessee shall pay the Basic Rent installment due on the Special Purchase
Option Date (it being understood and agreed that Lessee shall not be required
to pay the portion, if any, of such Basic Rent installment designated in
Exhibit A-1 to the Rent Schedule as being payable in advance), and at its
option shall either (A) pay to Lessor, in funds of the type specified in
Section 3(d), (1) an amount determined by multiplying Lessor's Cost for the
Aircraft by the Special Purchase Price Percentage (the "Special Purchase
Price"), plus (2) all Supplemental Rent (including, without limitation, the
Break Amount, if any, on the Certificates) due and owing on such Special
Purchase Option Date, plus (3) all Basic Rent due prior to and unpaid on such
Special Purchase Option Date, or (B) assume all of the rights and obligations
of the Owner Trustee under the Trust Indenture in respect of the Certificates
(including, without limitation, any scheduled payment of principal of or
accrued interest on the Certificates due and payable on the Special Purchase
Option Date but only to the extent that any Basic Rent installment payable by
Lessee pursuant to clause (x) above or previously paid pursuant to this Lease
does not cover such scheduled payment of principal or accrued interest on the
Certificates and excluding any obligations or liabilities of the Owner Trustee
in its individual capacity incurred on or prior to the Special Purchase Option
Date, which obligations and liabilities shall remain the sole responsibility of
the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity) in accordance with Section 2.16
of the Trust Indenture and simultaneously shall pay to Lessor, in funds of the
type specified in Section 3(d), an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the
Special Purchase Price over an amount equal to the sum of the principal of, and
any accrued and unpaid interest on (except that such unpaid interest, for
purposes of this Section 20(b), shall be deemed to have accrued at the Assumed
Debt Rate), the outstanding Certificates on such Special Purchase Option Date,
after taking into account any payments of principal or interest made in respect
of
87
AF-1
92
the outstanding Certificates on such Special Purchase Option Date, and (y)
Lessor will transfer to Lessee, without recourse or warranty (except as to
Lessor's Liens), all of Lessor's right, title and interest in and to the
Aircraft and, if Lessee shall not have assumed the rights and obligations of
the Owner Trustee under the Trust Indenture in respect of the Certificates as
provided for above, Lessor will request the Indenture Trustee to execute and
deliver to Lessee an appropriate instrument releasing the Airframe and Engines
with respect to which title is transferred from the Lien of the Trust Indenture
and releasing the Purchase Agreement and the Purchase Agreement Assignment from
the assignment and pledge thereunder.
(c) Purchase Option. Lessee shall have the right, at its
option, at the expiration of the Term or any Renewal Term, to elect to purchase
the Aircraft at a price equal to the fair market sales value of the Aircraft,
as determined as provided below. Such option to purchase shall be exercised
irrevocably upon written notice from Lessee to Lessor given not less than 120
days prior to the last day of the Term or any Renewal Term, as the case may be.
If Lessee shall have so elected to purchase the Aircraft, Lessor shall transfer
without recourse or warranty (except as to Lessor's Liens) the Aircraft to
Lessee, against payment by Lessee of the applicable purchase price and any
other amounts due hereunder in immediately available funds. In order to enable
Lessee to determine whether it wishes to exercise such election to purchase,
the fair market sales value for the Aircraft shall, at Lessee's request made in
sufficient time to permit such determination, be determined not less than 150
days prior to the end of the Term or any Renewal Term by mutual agreement of
Lessor and Lessee or, if they shall be unable to agree, by an Independent
Appraisal.
Section 21. Successor Owner Trustee. Lessee agrees that, in
the case of the appointment of any successor Owner Trustee pursuant to the
terms of the Trust Agreement and Section 9(d) of the Participation Agreement,
such successor Owner Trustee shall succeed to all the rights, powers and title
of Lessor hereunder and shall be deemed to be Lessor of the Aircraft for all
purposes without in any way altering the terms of this Lease or Lessee's
obligations hereunder. Lessee further agrees that in the case of the
appointment of any additional trustee to act as co-trustee or as a separate
trustee pursuant to
88
AF-1
93
the terms of the Trust Agreement and Section 9(d) of the Participation
Agreement, such additional trustee shall acquire such rights, power and title
of Lessor hereunder as are specified in the instruments appointing such
additional trustee, without in any way altering the terms of this Lease or
Lessee's obligations hereunder. One such appointment and designation of a
successor or additional Owner Trustee shall not exhaust the right to appoint
and designate further successor or additional Owner Trustees pursuant to the
Trust Agreement and Section 9(d) of the Participation Agreement, but such right
may be exercised repeatedly as long as this Lease shall be in effect.
Section 22. Security for Lessor's Obligation to Loan
Participants. In order to secure the indebtedness evidenced by the
Certificates, Lessor has agreed in the Trust Indenture, among other things, to
assign to the Indenture Trustee this Lease and the Lease Supplements and to
mortgage in favor of the Indenture Trustee all of Lessor's right, title and
interest in and to the Aircraft, subject to the reservations and conditions
therein set forth. Lessee hereby consents to such assignment and to the
creation of such mortgage and security interest and acknowledges receipt of
copies of the Trust Indenture and the Trust Agreement and Indenture Supplement,
it being understood that such consent shall not affect any requirement or the
absence of any requirement for any consent under any other circumstances.
Until the lien of the Trust Indenture has been released, (a) Lessee shall make
all payments of Rent and all other amounts payable hereunder (in each case,
other than Excepted Property) to the Indenture Trustee as provided in Section
3(d) and the right of the Indenture Trustee to receive such payment shall,
subject to Section 3(f), not, without limiting the provisions of Section 19
hereof, be subject to any defense, counterclaim, setoff or other right or claim
of any kind which Lessee may be able to assert against Lessor (in its
individual or trust capacity), the Indenture Trustee (in its individual or
trust capacity), any Participant or any other Person in any action brought by
any thereof on this Lease, (b) all rights of Lessor with respect to this Lease,
the Aircraft, the Airframe or any Engine or any Part thereof, to the extent set
forth in and subject in each case to the exceptions set forth in the Trust
Indenture, shall be exercisable by the Indenture Trustee and (c) all documents,
notices, certificates and opinions of counsel sent by Lessee to the Owner
Trustee will also be sent to the Indenture Trustee. To the ex-
89
AF-1
94
tent, if any, that this Lease Agreement constitutes chattel paper (as such term
is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any applicable
jurisdiction), no security interest in this Lease may be created through the
transfer or possession of any counterpart hereof other than the original
counterpart, which shall be identified as the counterpart containing the
receipt therefor executed by the Indenture Trustee on the signature page
thereof.
Section 23. Lessor's Right to Perform for Lessee. If Lessee
fails to make any payment of Rent required to be made by it hereunder or fails
to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, Lessor may,
on behalf of Lessee and upon prior notice to Lessee, itself make such payment
or undertake such performance or compliance. The amount of any such payment
and the amount of the reasonable expenses of Lessor incurred in connection with
such payment, performance or compliance together with interest thereon, at the
Overdue Rate, shall be deemed Supplemental Rent, payable by Lessee upon demand.
Section 24. Maintenance of Certain Engines. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, an aircraft engine which is not an
Engine, but which is installed on the Airframe, shall be maintained in
accordance with Section 7(a).
Section 25. Investment of Security Funds; Miscellaneous. Any
moneys required to be paid to or retained by Lessor which are not required to
be paid to Lessee pursuant to Section 10(f) or 11(b) solely because an Event of
Default hereunder (or event that with lapse of time would constitute an Event
of Default under Section 14(a), 14(g), 14(h) or 14(i)) shall have occurred, or
which are required to be paid to Lessee pursuant to Section 10(c) or 11(b)
after completion of a replacement to be made pursuant to Section 10(a) shall,
until paid to Lessee as provided in Section 10 or 11 or applied as provided
herein or in the Trust Agreement and Trust Indenture, be invested in Permitted
Investments by Lessor (unless the Trust Indenture shall not have been
discharged, in which case, by the Indenture Trustee as provided in Section 3.07
of the Trust Indenture) from time to time as directed in writing by Lessee.
There shall, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred or be
continuing, be promptly remitted to Lessee as a rebate of Rent any gain
(including interest received) realized as the result of any such
90
AF-1
95
investment (net of any fees, commissions and other expenses, if any, incurred
in connection with such investment) and Lessee will promptly pay to Lessor or
the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, on demand, as Supplemental Rent the
amount of any loss realized as the result of any such investment (together with
any fees, commissions and other expenses, if any, incurred in connection with
such investment), such amount to be disposed of in accordance with the terms of
the Trust Agreement and the Trust Indenture.
Section 26. Concerning the Lessor. Wilmington Trust Company
is entering into this Lease Agreement solely in its capacity as Owner Trustee
under the Trust Agreement and not in its individual capacity (except as
expressly stated herein) and in no case shall Wilmington Trust Company (or any
entity acting as successor Owner Trustee under the Trust Agreement) be
personally liable for or on account of any of the statements, representations,
warranties, covenants or obligations stated to be those of Lessor hereunder;
provided, however, that Wilmington Trust Company (or any such successor Owner
Trustee) shall be personally liable hereunder for its own gross negligence or
willful misconduct or for its breach of its covenants, representations and
warranties contained herein, to the extent covenanted or made in its individual
capacity.
Section 27. Sublessee's Performance and Rights. Any
obligation imposed on Lessee in this Lease shall require only that Lessee
perform or cause to be performed such obligation, even if stated herein as a
direct obligation, and the performance of any such obligation by any permitted
assignee, sublessee or transferee under an assignment, sublease or transfer
agreement then in effect shall constitute performance by Lessee and to the
extent of such performance discharge such obligation by Lessee. Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, any right granted to Lessee in this Lease
shall grant Lessee the right to exercise such right or permit such right to be
exercised by any such assignee, sublessee or transferee; provided that no such
assignee, sublessee or transferee shall be permitted to exercise the
self-insurance rights of Lessee set forth in Section 11. The inclusion of
specific references to obligations or rights of any such assignee, sublessee or
transferee in certain provisions of this Lease shall not in any way prevent or
diminish the application of the provisions of the two sentences immediately
preceding with respect to obligations or rights in
91
AF-1
96
respect of which specific reference to any such assignee, sublessee or
transferee has not been made in this Lease.
Section 28. 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
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any
such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate
or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. This Lease
may be executed by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which
when so executed and delivered, subject to Section 22, shall be an original,
but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same
instrument. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lessee hereby waives
any provision of law which renders any provision prohibited or unenforceable in
any respect. Neither this Lease nor any of the terms hereof may be terminated,
amended, supplemented, waived or modified orally, but only by an instrument in
writing signed by the party against which the enforcement of the termination,
amendment, supplement, waiver or modification is sought and no provision
referring to the Owner Participant or requiring the consent or participation of
or notice to the Owner Participant may be waived, modified, supplemented,
terminated or amended without the express written consent of the Owner
Participant. This Lease shall constitute an agreement of lease, and nothing
herein shall be construed as conveying to Lessee any right, title or interest
in the Aircraft except as a lessee only. To the extent consistent with the
provisions of Title 11 U.S.C. Section 1110, or any analogous section of the
Federal bankruptcy laws, as amended from time to time, it is hereby expressly
agreed that, notwithstanding any other provisions of the Federal bankruptcy
laws, as amended from time to time, the title of Lessor to the Aircraft and any
right of Lessor to take possession of the Aircraft in compliance with the
provisions of this Lease shall not be affected by the provisions of the Federal
bankruptcy laws, as amended from time to time. The section and paragraph
headings in this Lease and the table of contents are for convenience of
reference only and shall not modify, define, expand or limit any of the terms
or provisions hereof and all references herein to numbered sections, unless
otherwise indicated, are to sections of this Lease.

terminate this Lease at any time on or after the fifth anniversary of
the Delivery Date, if in Lessee's good faith determination (evidenced
by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of Lessee to such effect)
the Aircraft is surplus to Lessee's requirements or economically
obsolete to Lessee, and (ii) at any time on or after the eighth
anniversary of the Delivery Date to terminate this Lease for any

notice of termination specifying a proposed date of termination (the

the Aircraft as provided in Section 9(e) and Lessor has elected to
sell the Aircraft, as provided below, the date of sale of the

sell or retain the Aircraft no later than 45 days after Lessor
receives the notice from Lessee referred to in the first sentence of

12
Series AA
15
Lessor shall fail to give notice pursuant to the immediately preceding
sentence, notice of its election to sell the Aircraft shall be deemed
to have been given as of such forty-fifth day. Unless Lessor shall
have given to Lessee a timely notice of its election to retain the
Aircraft as provided in Section 9(d), Lessee (1) shall withdraw such
termination notice on the Termination Contract Date if the Person who
shall have submitted the highest cash bid notified by Lessee to Lessor
or by Lessor or the Owner Participant to Lessee pursuant to Section
9(b) prior to the Termination Contract Date (or, with the consent of
Lessor, another person who shall have submitted a bid for the purchase
of the Aircraft, acceptable to Lessor and Lessee) shall not have
entered into a binding contract of sale on or prior to such
Termination Contract Date reasonably acceptable to the Owner
Participant providing for the sale by Lessor without recourse or
warranty (except as to Lessor's Liens) for cash of the Airframe and
the Engines installed thereon to such Person (the "Contract
Purchaser") (Lessor hereby agreeing, subject to Lessor's right to
retain the Aircraft, promptly to execute and deliver any such contract
of sale in the form thereof furnished by Lessee for execution and
delivery and Lessee hereby agreeing to consult with the Owner
Participant regarding the terms of such contract of sale and to submit

period of time prior to the Termination Contract Date) and (2) may
withdraw the termination notice referred to above at any time on or
prior to the third Business Day prior to the Termination Contract
Date, whereupon this Lease shall continue in full force and effect.
In the event Lessee withdraws, on or after the third Business Day
prior to the Termination Contract Date, a notice of termination given
pursuant to this Section 9(a) or such notice is deemed withdrawn
pursuant to the final sentence of Section 9(b), Lessee will reimburse

Participant for any out-of-pocket expenses to the extent Lessor shall
have failed to comply with its obligations under this Section 9.
Lessee shall not be entitled to exercise its right of termination
provided for in this Section 9(a) more than four times during the Term
(not including for purposes of this sentence any exercise by Lessee of
such right of
13
Series AA
16
termination immediately following a failure of this Lease to be
terminated by reason of Lessor's failure to comply with its
obligations under this Section 9).
(b) Sale of Aircraft. If Lessee has not elected to purchase
the Aircraft as provided in Section 9(e) and Lessor has elected or is
deemed to have elected to sell the Aircraft pursuant to Section 9(a),

Lessor to obtain bids for the cash purchase on or prior to the
Termination Date of the Aircraft. Lessor agrees to pay Lessee a
commercially reasonable brokerage fee based on the then current
industry practice in the event that Lessee locates the Person who
purchases the Aircraft pursuant to this Section 9(b). If Lessee acts
as such agent, no later than ten Business Days prior to the
Termination Contract Date, Lessee shall certify to Lessor in writing
the amount and terms of each cash bid received by Lessee and the name
and the address of the Person submitting each such bid. Lessor may
(but need not), also, at its expense (which expense, including without
limitation any broker's or finder's fees, shall be for the Owner
Participant's own account), independently obtain cash bids for such
purchase and, in the event Lessor receives any such bid, Lessor shall
promptly, and in any event at least five Business Days prior to the
Termination Contract Date certify to Lessee in writing the amount and
terms of such bid and the name and address of the Person submitting
such bid. Neither the Owner Participant, Lessee, nor any Affiliate of
either may submit a bid for the Aircraft, directly or indirectly, in
connection with such proposed sale. On the Termination Date (or such
earlier date of sale as may be agreed to by Lessor and Lessee, which
date shall thereafter be deemed the Termination Date), (x) Lessee
shall, subject to receipt (i) by Lessor (or, so long as the Trust
Indenture shall not have been discharged, the Indenture Trustee) of
the full purchase price thereof and all amounts owing to Lessor
pursuant to the next sentence and (ii) by the Persons entitled thereto
of all unpaid Supplemental Rent due on or before the Termination Date,
deliver the Aircraft at a location selected by Lessee to the Contract
Purchaser (or such other purchaser acceptable to Lessor and Lessee),
in the same manner as if delivery were made to Lessor at the end of
the Term pursuant to Section 5, and shall duly transfer to Lessor
title to any engines installed on the Airframe but not owned by
Lessor, all in accor-
14
Series AA
17
dance with the terms of Section 5, and (y) Lessor shall simultaneously
therewith sell, without recourse or warranty (except as to Lessor's
Liens), for cash all of Lessor's right, title and interest in and to
the Aircraft to such Contract Purchaser (or other purchaser). The
total selling price realized at such sale shall be retained by Lessor
(or, so long as the Trust Indenture shall not have been discharged,
distributed by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the terms of the
Trust Indenture) and, in addition, on the Termination Date, Lessee
shall pay to Lessor or, in the case of Supplemental Rent, to the
Persons entitled thereto, in funds of the type specified in Section
3(d), an amount equal to (I) the sum of (1) the excess, if any, of (A)
the Termination Value for the Aircraft as of the Termination Date,

reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lessor and the Owner
Participant (including any brokerage fee paid to Lessee or any other
Person), plus (2) that amount of interest that will accrue on the
principal of all Outstanding Equipment Notes during the period from
and including the Termination Date to but excluding the Redemption
Date specified in Section 6.01 of the Trust Indenture, plus (3) all
Supplemental Rent (including, without limitation, Make-Whole Amount,
if any, and Swap Breakage Loss, if any, as the case may be, payable in

and owing on the Termination Date, plus (4) (A) if the Termination
Date is a Lease Period Date, the Basic Rent installment due and
payable on that date pursuant to Section 3(b) (it being understood and
agreed that Lessee shall not be required to pay the portion, if any,
of such Basic Rent installment designated in Exhibit A-1 to the Rent
Schedule as being payable in advance), or (B) if the Termination Date
is not a Lease Period Date and if Basic Rent is payable in arrears
during the Lease Period commencing on the Lease Period Date next
preceding the Termination Date, an amount equal to the Accrued Arrears
Basic Rent for the period from and including such Lease Period Date to
but excluding the Termination Date, plus (5) all Basic Rent due and
payable prior to the Termination Date and unpaid, less (II) any credit

respect to which Termination Value is determined is not a Lease Period
Date and if any portion of the Basic Rent installment paid in respect
of the Lease Period commencing on the Lease Period Date next preceding
the Termination Date is designated in Exhibit A-1 to the Rent Schedule
as having been payable in advance, Lessee shall be entitled to a
credit against the amounts payable by it pursuant to this Section 9(b)
in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the Unearned Advance Basic
Rent as of the Termination Date, and (y) the amount, if any, by which
the proceeds of the sale of the Aircraft after deducting the
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lessor and the Owner
Participant (including any brokerage fee paid to Lessee or any other
Person) exceeds the Termination Value for the Aircraft as of the
Termination Date; provided that, in the event that the amount
calculated pursuant to this sentence to be credited exceeds the
amounts payable by Lessee pursuant to this Section 9(b), the Owner
Participant shall be obligated to rebate an amount equal to such
excess to Lessee. If on or prior to the scheduled Termination Date no
sale of the Aircraft shall have occurred and if Lessor shall not have
elected to retain the Aircraft in accordance with Section 9(d) or
Lessee shall not have elected to purchase the Aircraft in accordance
with Section 9(e), Lessee's notice given pursuant to Section 9(a)
shall be deemed to be withdrawn as of such scheduled Termination Date
and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect.
(c) Certain Obligations upon Sale of Aircraft. Upon the sale
of the Aircraft pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of
Section 9(b), Lessor will transfer to Lessee, without recourse or
warranty (except as to Lessor's Liens), all of Lessor's right, title
and interest in and to any Engines constituting part of the Aircraft
but which are not then installed on the Airframe. Lessor shall be
under no duty to solicit bids, to inquire into the efforts of Lessee
to obtain bids or otherwise take any action in connection with the
sale of the Aircraft under Section 9(b), other than to transfer to the
purchaser of the Aircraft (or to such purchaser and to Lessee, as the
case may be), without recourse or warranty (except as to Lessor's
Liens), all of Lessor's right, title and interest in and to the
Aircraft against receipt of the payments provided for herein, and to

Agreement Assignment from the assignment and pledge under the Trust
Indenture. Lessor agrees to notify promptly Lessee of the appointment

Basic Rent exceeds the amount payable by Lessee pursuant to this
Section 9(d), the Owner Participant will be obligated to rebate an

the Basic Rent installment payable by Lessee pursuant to clause (i)
above does not cover such scheduled payment of principal of or accrued
interest on the Equipment Notes but excluding any obligations or

outstanding Equipment Notes on such Special Termination Date, after
taking into account any payments of principal or interest made in
respect of the outstanding Equipment Notes on such Special Termination
Date, and (y) Lessor will sell to Lessee, without recourse or warranty
(except as to Lessor's Liens), all of Lessor's right, title and
interest in and to the Aircraft and all of Lessor's right, title and
interest in and to any Engines constituting part of the Aircraft but
which are not then installed on the Airframe and, if Lessee shall not
have assumed the rights and obligations of the Owner Trustee under the
Trust Indenture in respect of the Equipment Notes as provided for
above, Lessor will request the Loan Trustee to execute and deliver to
Lessee an appropriate instrument releasing the Airframe and Engines
with respect to which title is transferred from the lien of the Trust
Indenture and releasing the Purchase Agreement and the Purchase
Agreement Assignment from the assignment and pledge thereunder.

Agreement or Section 10 of the Tax Indemnity Agreement or (y) in
respect of liabilities and obligations of Lessee which have accrued

dispute as of the date of such sale or retention) shall cease as of
the Termination Date and, in each case, the Term shall end effective
as of the Termination Date.

Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessee shall have the
right at its option at any time, on at least 60 days' prior written
notice, to terminate this Lease with respect to any Engine. In such

sentence over the aggregate unpaid principal of, and the aggregate unpaid
accrued interest on, the outstanding Certificates as of such Casualty Loss
Determination Date. Anything contained herein or in the Participation
Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Stipulated Loss Value for the
Aircraft (both before and after any adjustment pursuant to Section 3(e) or any
deduction pursuant to Section 3(f)) will, under any circumstances and in any
event, be an amount which, together with any other amounts required to be paid
by Lessee hereunder in connection with such Event of Loss (other than
Supplemental Rent payable in respect of the Break Amount, if any, and amounts
other than principal or interest owing to the holders of Certificates under the
Trust Indenture in connection with such Event of Loss), will be at least
sufficient to pay in full as of the date of the payment thereof
15
AF-2
20
the aggregate unpaid principal of the outstanding Certificates together with
all unpaid interest thereon accrued to the date on which such payment is paid
in accordance with the terms hereof. The Stipulated Loss Value Percentages set
forth in Exhibit B to the Rent Schedule have been computed on the assumption
that each Certificate will bear interest throughout the term at the Assumed
Debt Rate for such Certificate. To the extent that the aggregate amount of
interest payable on the Certificates from and including the Lease Period Date
next preceding a Casualty Loss Determination Date to but excluding such
Casualty Loss Determination Date is greater or less than the amount included in
calculating the Stipulated Loss Value Percentage set forth in Exhibit B to the
Rent Schedule with respect to such Casualty Loss Determination Date on account
of such Assumed Debt Rate, such percentage shall be increased or decreased to
compensate for such differential.
"Supplemental Rent" means all amounts, liabilities and
obligations (other than Basic Rent) which Lessee assumes or is obligated or
agrees to pay hereunder, under the Participation Agreement, the Tax Indemnity
Agreement, the Lease Supplement, the Purchase Agreement Assignment or the Bills
of Sale (or under any other agreement of Lessee expressly providing that
amounts, liabilities and obligations which Lessee assumes or is obligated or

Value and amounts calculated with reference thereto and Break Amount, if any,
payable in accordance with Section 3(c) hereof.

determination means the amount determined by multiplying Lessor's Cost for the
Aircraft by the Termination Value Percentage set forth in Exhibit C to the Rent
Schedule opposite the Termination Value Determination Date next preceding such
date of determination (or, if such date of determination is a Termination Value
Determination Date, by the Termination Value Percentage set forth opposite such
Termination Value Determination Date) as such percentage may be adjusted as
provided below, provided that during any Renewal Term, "Termination Value"
shall be determined as provided in Section 20. "Termination Value" for the
Airframe or any Engine as of any date of determination means a portion of the
Termination Value for the Aircraft, computed as of such date of determination,
which bears the same ratio to such Termination Value for the Aircraft as the
original cost (as reasonably determined by Lessor after consultation with
Lessee and the Manufacturer) to Lessor of the Airframe or such Engine bears to
Lessor's Cost for the Aircraft. Anything contained herein or in the
Participation Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Termination Value for
the Aircraft (both before and after any adjustment pursuant to Section 3(e) or
any deduction pursuant to Section 3(f)) will, under any circumstances and in
any event, be an amount which, together with any other amounts required to be
paid by Lessee hereunder in connection with such Lease termination (other than
Supplemental Rent payable in respect of the Break Amount, if any, and amounts
other than principal or interest owing to the holders of Certificates under the
Trust Indenture in connection with such Lease termination), will be at least
sufficient to pay in full as of the date of the payment thereof the aggregate
unpaid principal of the outstanding Certificates together with all unpaid
interest thereon accrued to the date on which such payment is paid in
accordance with the terms hereof. The Termination Value Percentages set forth
in Exhibit C to the Rent Schedule have been computed on the assumption that
each Certificate will bear interest throughout the term at the Assumed Debt
Rate for such Certificate. To the extent that the aggregate amount of interest
payable on the Certificates from and including the Lease Period Date next
preceding a Termination Value Determination Date to but excluding such
Termination Value Determination Date is greater or less than the amount
included in calculating the Termination Value Percentage set forth in Exhibit C
to the Rent Schedule with respect to such Termination Value Determination Date
on account of such Assumed Debt Rate,
17
AF-2

such percentage shall be increased or decreased to compensate for such
differential.

"Transaction Costs" has the meaning set forth in Section 18(a)
of the Participation Agreement.
"Trust Agreement" means the Trust Agreement (AA 1992 AF-2),
dated as of the date hereof, between the Owner Participant and Lessor (in its
individual capacity only as expressly provided therein and otherwise as Owner

Supplements or indentures supplemental thereto entered into pursuant to the
applicable provisions thereof.

ing the portion, if any, of the Basic Rent installment for the Lease Period in
which such date of determination occurs designated in Exhibit A-1 to the Rent
Schedule as having been payable in advance by a fraction, the numerator of
which shall be the actual number of days in the period from and including such
date of determination to but excluding the last day of such Lease Period, and
the denominator of which shall be the actual number of days in such Lease
Period.
Section 2. Acceptance and Leasing of Aircraft. Lessor hereby
agrees (subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in
Section 4 of the Participation Agreement) to accept delivery of, and
simultaneously to lease to Lessee hereunder, and Lessee hereby agrees (subject
to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 11 of the
Participation Agreement) to lease from Lessor hereunder, the Aircraft, as
evidenced by the execution by Lessor and Lessee of a Lease Supplement covering
the Aircraft. Lessor shall authorize one or more employees or agents of
Lessee, designated by Lessee, as the authorized representative or
representatives of Lessor to accept delivery of the Aircraft pursuant to the
Participation Agreement. Lessee hereby agrees to deliver the Aircraft within
the United States to Lessor, and Lessor hereby authorizes one or more employees
or agents of Lessee, designated by Lessee, as the authorized representative or
representatives of Lessor to ultimately deliver the Aircraft outside the United
States within one year after the date of the acceptance of delivery of the
Aircraft from Lessee under the Participation Agreement, as contemplated by
Section 5(d) of the Tax Indemnity Agreement. Lessee hereby agrees that such
acceptance of delivery by such authorized representative or representatives on
behalf of Lessor shall, without further act, irrevocably constitute acceptance
by Lessee of the Aircraft for all purposes of this Lease.
Section 3. Term and Rent. (a) Term. Except as otherwise
provided herein, the Term for the lease of the Aircraft hereunder shall
commence on the Delivery Date and end on the Base Lease Expiration Date.
(b) Basic Rent. Lessee hereby agrees to pay Lessor Basic
Rent for the Aircraft throughout the Term in consecutive semiannual
installments payable on each Lease Period Date commencing on the Base Lease
Commencement Date. Each such installment of Basic Rent in respect of
19
AF-2
24
the Aircraft shall be in an amount determined by multiplying Lessor's Cost by
the Basic Rent percentage set forth in Exhibit A to the Rent Schedule for the
applicable Lease Period Date.
Although the Basic Rent percentages set forth in Exhibit A to
the Rent Schedule have been computed on the assumption that each Certificate
will bear interest at the Assumed Debt Rate for such Certificate throughout the
Term, Lessor and Lessee recognize that the actual rate of interest on each
Certificate may be a rate from time to time which may be greater or less than
the Assumed Debt Rate for such Certificate and that the related basis upon
which interest on the Certificates will be computed will be as provided in the
Trust Indenture. Accordingly, each installment of Basic Rent shall be
increased or decreased, as the case may be, by an amount (the "Rent
Differential Amount") equal to, as of any Lease Period Date on which Basic Rent
is payable, the difference between (i) the aggregate amount of interest
actually due and payable on such Lease Period Date on the Certificates for the
period from and including the Lease Period Date next preceding such Lease
Period Date to but excluding such Lease Period Date, determined as provided in
the Trust Indenture, and (ii) the aggregate amount of interest on the
Certificates that would have been due and payable on such Lease Period Date if
each Certificate had borne interest at the Assumed Debt Rate for such
Certificate for the period from and including the Lease Period Date next
preceding such Lease Period Date to but excluding such Lease Period Date. If,
as of any Lease Period Date on which Basic Rent is payable, the amount
determined in accordance with clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence
shall be greater than the amount determined in accordance with clause (ii) of
such sentence, the amount of Basic Rent payable on such Lease Period Date shall
be increased by the Rent Differential Amount. If, as of any Lease Period Date
on which Basic Rent is payable, the amount determined in accordance with such
clause (ii) shall be greater than the amount determined in accordance with such
clause (i), the amount of Basic Rent due on such Lease Period Date shall be
decreased by the Rent Differential Amount. The interest actually accruing with
respect to the Certificates shall be as specified by the notification to be
delivered by the Indenture Trustee to Lessor, Lessee and the Owner Participant
as provided in Section 1(c) of the Participation Agreement.
20
AF-2
25
Anything contained herein or in the Participation Agreement to
the contrary notwithstanding, each installment of Basic Rent (both before and
after any adjustment pursuant to Section 3(e), or any deduction pursuant to
Section 3(f)), as well as the amount of any Prepaid Rent paid pursuant to
Section 3(f), together with any payment made by the Owner Participant under
Section 16(a) of the Participation Agreement, shall be, under any circumstances
and in any event, in an amount at least equal to, as of the due date of such
installment, or Base Lease Commencement Date, as the case may be, the amount of
principal of and interest on the Certificates required to be paid by Lessor
pursuant to the Trust Indenture on the due date of such installment of Basic
Rent or on the Base Lease Commencement Date, as the case may be. Further, and
anything contained herein or in the Participation Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, Termination Value and Stipulated Loss Value for the Aircraft
(both before and after any adjustment pursuant to Section 3(e), or any
deduction pursuant to Section 3(f)) will, under any circumstances and in any
event, be an amount which, together with any other amounts (excluding Excepted
Payments) then required to be paid by Lessee hereunder in connection therewith,
will be at least equal to, as of the date of payment thereof, the aggregate
unpaid principal of the outstanding Certificates, together with all unpaid
interest thereon accrued to the date on which such amount is paid in accordance
with the terms hereof.
Basic Rent accrues or is earned with respect to each Lease
Period in accordance with Exhibit A-1 to the Rent Schedule.
(c) Supplemental Rent. Lessee also agrees to pay to Lessor,
or to whomsoever shall be entitled thereto, any and all Supplemental Rent
promptly as the same shall become due and owing, and in the event of any
failure on the part of Lessee to pay any Supplemental Rent, Lessor shall have
all rights, powers and remedies provided for herein or by law or in equity or
otherwise as in the case of nonpayment of Basic Rent. In addition, Lessee will
pay as Supplemental Rent (i) on demand, an amount equal to interest at the
applicable Overdue Rate on any part of any installment of Basic Rent not paid
when due for any period for which the same shall be overdue and on any payment
of Supplemental Rent not paid when due or demanded, as the case may be, for the
period until the same shall be paid, (ii) in the case of any prepayment of the
Certificates
21
AF-2
26
pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.14 of the Trust Indenture or purchase of the
Certificates pursuant to Section 2.13 of the Trust Indenture, on the date the
same is payable by Lessor under the Trust Indenture, an amount equal to the
Break Amount, if any, payable with respect to the Certificates and (iii) any
amounts payable by Lessor under Section 2.04 or 2.18 of the Trust Indenture;
provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any
Operative Document or any document or instrument relating thereto, Lessee shall
have no responsibility or liability for any amounts payable to any Loan
Participant in respect of the Break Amount, if any, payable with respect to the
Certificates, as a result of (i) a prepayment of the Certificates or a purchase
of the Certificates pursuant to Section 2.13 of the Trust Indenture as a result
of an Indenture Default that does not also constitute an Event of Default or
(ii) an Indenture Default that does not also constitute an Event of Default.
All Supplemental Rent to be paid pursuant to this Section 3(c) shall be payable
in the type of funds and in the manner set forth in Section 3(d).
(d) Payment to Lessor. All Rent shall be paid by Lessee to
Lessor at its office at Rodney Square North, Wilmington, Delaware 19890,
Attention: Corporate Trust Administration (AA 1992 AF-2), in funds consisting
of lawful currency of the United States of America which shall be immediately
available at such office of Lessor not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City
time, on the date of payment, provided that so long as the Trust Indenture
shall not have been discharged pursuant to the terms thereof, Lessor hereby
directs, and each of Lessor and Lessee agrees, that all Rent (excluding
Excepted Property) or other sums payable to Lessor hereunder or pursuant hereto
shall be paid directly to the Indenture Trustee at the times and in funds of
the type specified in this Section 3(d) at the offices of the Indenture Trustee
at 600 Peachtree Street, N.E., Suite 900, Atlanta, Georgia 30308, Attention:
Corporate Trust Department (AA 1992 AF-2), or at such other location in the
United States as the Indenture Trustee may otherwise direct. Whenever the date
scheduled for any payment of Rent to be made hereunder shall not be a Business
Day, then such payment need not be made on such scheduled date but may be made
on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made
on such scheduled date and (provided such payment is made on such next
succeeding Business Day) no interest shall accrue on the amount of such payment
from and after
22
AF-2
27
such scheduled date to the time of such payment on such next succeeding
Business Day; provided that, so long as the Original Loan Participant holds any
Certificates, interest shall accrue during such period with respect to that
portion of Rent, if any, attributable to such Certificates, and Lessee shall
pay as Supplemental Rent an amount equal to such accrued interest at the time
that such interest is due and payable under such Certificates.
(e) Adjustments to Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss Value and
Termination Value. In the event that (i) the Transaction Costs (as such term
is defined in Section 18(a) of the Participation Agreement) are less or more
than 0.5% of Lessor's Cost, or (ii) prior to the acceptance of the Aircraft on
the Delivery Date: (A) there shall have occurred a Change in Tax Law and (B)
after having been advised in writing by the Owner Participant of such Change in
Tax Law and the proposed adjustment to the payments of Basic Rent resulting
therefrom, Lessee shall have waived its right under Section 11 of the
Participation Agreement to decline to proceed with the transaction, or (iii) a
refunding or refinancing as contemplated by Section 17 or Section 20 of the
Participation Agreement occurs, or (iv) the Delivery Date is other than July 9,
1992, or (v) if the Certificates are not refunded or refinanced on or prior to
the Base Lease Commencement Date, the Excess Payment Amount (after adjustment
for any Excess Payment Differential Amount) is other than $2,553,000.00 then,
in each such case, all payments of Basic Rent, Excess Payment Amount and
Stipulated Loss Values and Termination Values with respect to the Term will,
subject always to the penultimate paragraph of Section 3(b), be adjusted
(upwards or downwards, as the case may be) in accordance with the provisions of
Section 18 or Section 20, as applicable, of the Participation Agreement to
preserve the Owner Participant's Net Economic Return, or the Owner
Participant's Revised Net Economic Return, as the case may be, and, to the
greatest extent possible, to minimize the net present value of the payments of
Basic Rent. In addition, in the event of a refunding or refinancing as
contemplated by Section 17 or Section 20 of the Participation Agreement, the
Special Purchase Price Percentage and the Special Purchase Option Date shall be
recalculated in accordance with the provisions of Section 18 or Section 20, as
applicable, of the Participation Agreement.

28
(f) Prepayments of Certain Rent Payments. To the extent, if
any, that there shall not have been received by the Indenture Trustee at the
office of Indenture Trustee referred to in Section 3(d) hereof, by 1:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on the Base Lease Commencement Date from Lessor, an amount
equal to the Excess Payment Amount, Lessee shall advance to Lessor on the Base
Lease Commencement Date an amount equal to the Excess Payment Amount not so
paid (such amount being herein called "Prepaid Rent") provided that Lessee will
also pay to the Indenture Trustee, on demand, as Supplemental Rent, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Overdue Rate on any Excess
Payment Amount not paid by the Owner Participant when due for any period for
which the same shall be overdue. Any Rent prepaid pursuant to this Section
3(f) shall be offset against installments of Basic Rent in the order in which
they become due, subject to the penultimate sentence of this paragraph. Lessor
agrees to reimburse Lessee in the manner and subject to the conditions provided
in the following sentence for (x) the Prepaid Rent so paid by Lessee determined
as of the date such payment was made, plus (y) the Supplemental Rent so paid by
Lessee pursuant to this Section 3(f) plus (z) accrued interest on the
unreimbursed portion thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Overdue Rate plus
three percent (3%) from the date such amount is paid by Lessee to but not
including the date of each such reimbursement (such amounts to be reimbursed
being herein called the "Reimbursement Amount"). So long as no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessee may with written notice to the
Owner Participant and Indenture Trustee offset (without duplication) against
each succeeding payment (other than as limited by the proviso to this sentence)
due from Lessee to Lessor in respect of Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss Value,
Termination Value or any other amount due hereunder to Lessor, until Lessee has
been fully reimbursed for the Reimbursement Amount; provided, however, that in
the case of any payment due from Lessee which is distributable under the terms
of the Indenture, Lessee's right of offset shall be limited to amounts
distributable to Lessor or the Owner Participant thereunder. No such offset or
aggregate combined effect of separate offsets shall reduce the amount of any
installments of Basic Rent to an amount insufficient, together with all other
amounts payable simultaneously by Lessee, to pay in full the payments then
required to be made on account of the principal of and interest on the
Certificates then outstanding. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section
3(f) to the contrary, Lessee's obli-
24
AF-2
29
gation to advance an amount equal to the Excess Payment Amount shall terminate
at such time as its obligation to pay Basic Rent terminates under this Lease.
Section 4. Lessor's Representations, Warranties and
Covenants; Quiet Enjoyment. (a) Lessor's Representations, Warranties and
Covenants. NONE OF LESSOR (IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY OR AS OWNER TRUSTEE),
THE OWNER PARTICIPANT, ANY LOAN PARTICIPANT, OR THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE MAKES OR
SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, AND LESSEE HEREBY

ABSENCE OF OBLIGATIONS BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY IN TORT, WHETHER IN STRICT OR
ABSOLUTE LIABILITY OR ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF LESSOR, INDENTURE TRUSTEE,
ANY LOAN PARTICIPANT, OR THE OWNER PARTICIPANT, ACTUAL OR IMPUTED, OR ANY OTHER
REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, except that Lessor
in its individual capacity represents and warrants that on the Delivery Date
Lessor shall have received whatever rights, title and interests in, to and
under the Aircraft were conveyed to it by Lessee and Lessor represents,
warrants and covenants in its individual capacity that the Aircraft shall be
free of Lessor's Liens attributable to it in its individual capacity. Lessor
also represents and warrants in its individual capacity that it is, in its
individual capacity, a "citizen of the United States" as defined in Section
101(16) of the Federal Aviation Act (without the use of a voting trust
agreement or voting powers agreement).
(b) Quiet Enjoyment. Lessor covenants that, so long as no
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, it will not take any
action contrary to Lessee's rights under this Lease, or otherwise in any way
interfere with the quiet enjoyment of the use and possession of the Aircraft,
the Airframe or any Engine by Lessee or any sublessee, assignee or transferee
under any sublease, assignment or transfer then in effect and permitted by the
terms of this Lease.

Section 5. Return of Aircraft. (a) Return of Airframe and
Engines. Upon the termination of this Lease at the end of the Term, a Renewal
Term or pursuant to Section 9 or Section 15, unless Lessee shall have exercised
its option to purchase the Aircraft pursuant to Section 9(e), 20(b) or 20(c),
Lessee will return the Aircraft by delivering the same, at its own expense, to
any airport chosen by Lessee in the United States which is on Lessee's route
system or, if Lessor has requested storage pursuant to Section 5(d), to the
location determined in accordance with Section 5(d), fully equipped with two
Engines (which may be Replacement Engines), or other General Electric
CF6-80C2B6 engines (or engines of the same or another manufacturer of a
comparable or an improved model and suitable for installation and use on the
Airframe) owned by Lessee (and each such engine shall be of the same make,
model and manufacture as the other Engine or engine installed on the Airframe),
duly installed thereon. At the time of such return, (A) such Airframe and
Engines or engines (i) shall be, if the Aircraft is then registered under the
laws of the United States, duly certificated as an airworthy aircraft by the
Federal Aviation Administration or, if the Aircraft is not then registered
under the laws of the United States as provided in the penultimate sentence of
this Section 5(a), shall be duly certificated as an airworthy aircraft by the
central civil aviation authority of the jurisdiction in which the Aircraft is
then registered, and, in addition, if the Aircraft is not registrable in the
United States because one of the conditions specified in the proviso to such
sentence apply, shall be eligible for certification as an airworthy aircraft by
the Federal Aviation Administration, (ii) shall be free and clear of all Liens
(other than Lessor's Liens and Permitted Liens of the type described in clause
(i) or (iii) of Section 6), (iii) shall be in as good operating condition as
when delivered to Lessee hereunder, ordinary wear and tear excepted, or, in the
case of any such engines owned by Lessee, shall have a value and utility at
least equal to, and shall be in as good operating condition as required by the
terms hereof with respect to, Engines constituting part of the Aircraft but not
then installed on the Airframe and (iv) in the event that Lessee does not use a
progressive overhaul program in which no out-of-service phase with respect to
the Airframe exceeds 240 hours or a condition-monitored maintenance program
with respect to such Engines or engines, and Lessee adopts a time-related
overhaul program with respect to the Airframe or a scheduled shop visit or
26
AF-2
31
module change maintenance program with respect to such Engines or engines, or
both, such Airframe shall have at least 1,500 hours of operation remaining to
the next heavy maintenance visit and the aggregate number of hours of operation
on all such Engines or engines remaining until the next scheduled shop visit or
module change shall be at least 3,000 hours and (B) such Aircraft shall, except
as otherwise provided herein, be clean and in a configuration suitable for
commercial passenger service, and shall be in compliance with all mandatory
environmental, noise, air pollution and other standards prescribed by the
Federal government of the United States of America and applicable to the
Aircraft and shall have all of Lessee's and any other Person's exterior
markings removed or painted over with the areas thereof refinished to match
adjacent areas. In the event that Lessee has adopted a time-related overhaul
program with respect to the Airframe and does not meet the above conditions
with respect thereto, Lessee shall pay Lessor a dollar amount computed by
multiplying (i) 115% of Lessee's direct cost (during the preceding twelve
months) of such heavy maintenance visit by (ii) a fraction of which (x) the
numerator shall be the difference between 1,500 hours and the actual number of
hours of operation remaining on the Airframe to the next heavy maintenance
visit and (y) the denominator shall be the aggregate number of hours allowable
between heavy maintenance visits. In the event that Lessee has adopted a
scheduled shop visit or module change program with respect to such Engines or
engines and Lessee does not meet the above conditions with respect to such
Engines or engines, Lessee shall pay Lessor a dollar amount computed by
multiplying (i) the product of (x) 115% of Lessee's direct cost (during the
preceding twelve months) of such scheduled shop visit or module change and (y)
the number of Engines or engines returned by (ii) a fraction of which (A) the
numerator shall be the difference between 3,000 hours and the actual aggregate
number of hours of operation remaining to the next scheduled shop visit or
module change for the Engines or engines on the Aircraft and (B) the
denominator shall be the aggregate number of hours allowable between scheduled
shop visits or module changes for such Engines or engines. At the time of such
return, Lessee will, unless requested by Lessor at least 90 days prior to such
time of return to retain the existing registration of the Aircraft, cause the
Aircraft, if it is not then so registered, to be registered under the laws of
the United States with the Federal Aviation Administration in the name of
Lessor or its designee; provided that Lessee shall
27
AF-2
32
be relieved of its obligations under this sentence if (x) such registration is
prohibited by reason of the failure of Lessor, the Owner Participant or
Lessor's designee to be eligible on such date to own an aircraft registered
with the Federal Aviation Administration or (y) such registration is otherwise
prohibited by applicable law and such prohibition does not result from an act
or failure to act on the part of Lessee or any sublessee. In the event the
Federal Aviation Administration shall issue any directive which would require
improvements to the Aircraft in order for the airworthiness certificate of the
Aircraft to be maintained in good standing, and if such directive by its terms
is not applicable to the Aircraft prior to the return thereof pursuant to this
Section 5, Lessee shall nevertheless comply with such directive if, prior to
such return, (x) Lessee commences compliance with such directive with respect
to any other Boeing 767-300 aircraft affected by such directive and in use by
Lessee and (y) subsequent to any such commencement, the Aircraft is subjected
to a maintenance check of the type at which such modification is made, in
accordance with Lessee's general maintenance program.
(b) Return of Engines. In the event that any engine not
owned by Lessor shall be delivered with the Airframe as set forth in paragraph
(a) of this Section 5, Lessee, concurrently with such delivery, will, at its
own expense, furnish Lessor with a warranty (as to title) bill of sale in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor (which warranty shall except
Lessor's Liens and Permitted Liens of the type described in clause (i) of
Section 6), with respect to each such engine and with a written opinion of
Lessee's counsel (which may be Lessee's General Counsel) to the effect that
such bill of sale constitutes an effective instrument for the conveyance of
title to such engine to Lessor, and thereupon Lessor will transfer to Lessee,
without recourse or warranty (except as to Lessor's Liens), all Lessor's right,
title and interest in and to an Engine constituting part of the Aircraft but
not installed on the Airframe at the time of the return of the Airframe.
(c) Fuel; Manuals. Upon the return of the Airframe pursuant
to this Section 5, (i) Lessee shall have no obligation with respect to the
amount of fuel or oil contained in the Airframe and all fuel or oil remaining
on board the Airframe shall be the property of Lessor without charge and (ii)
Lessee shall deliver or cause to
28
AF-2
33
be delivered to Lessor all logs, manuals and data, and inspection, modification
and overhaul records required to be maintained with respect thereto under
applicable rules and regulations of the Federal Aviation Administration and, if
the Aircraft has been registered under the laws of a jurisdiction other than
the United States, of the applicable foreign governmental authority, and the
warranty bill of sale relating to the Aircraft received from the Manufacturer.
(d) Storage upon Return. Upon written request of Lessor
received at least 30 days prior to the end of the Term, Lessee will provide
Lessor with storage facilities free of charge except as provided below for the
Aircraft for a period not exceeding 30 days at such location in the United
States on Lessee's route system used by Lessee for the storage of surplus
aircraft or engines available for sale as shall be designated by Lessee;
provided that Lessor may request that the Aircraft be stored at any other
location in the United States on Lessee's route system used by Lessee for such
purpose, in which case Lessee may, in its sole discretion, provide such
facilities for such period. Any storage facilities provided by Lessee for the
Aircraft pursuant to this Section 5(d) shall, in all cases, be at the cost to
Lessor of insurance and Lessee's out-of-pocket costs in connection with
providing such facilities (it being understood that such out-of-pocket costs
shall not be deemed to include the cost of making the storage facilities
available) and at the risk of Lessor. In the event Lessor, after a storage
location is determined as provided in the first sentence of this Section 5(d),
shall request Lessee to deliver the Aircraft to a second location, Lessee will,
at Lessor's expense, fly the Aircraft within such 30-day period to a reasonable
location selected by Lessor in the United States, for storage at the risk and
expense of Lessor, upon receipt of evidence of insurance coverage (reasonably
satisfactory to Lessee) as set forth in Section 11(a), provided that (i) Lessee
shall not be required to store the Aircraft at any location used by Lessee for
storage of surplus aircraft available for sale except as provided in the first
sentence of this Section 5(d) and (ii) the delivery by Lessee of the Aircraft
to the first location determined as provided in such sentence shall constitute
delivery of the Aircraft as required by Section 5(a). Lessor, at its expense,
may place such other insurance in such circumstances on the Aircraft as it may
deem appropriate. Lessee shall, at Lessor's request, maintain insurance (if
29
AF-2
34
available) for the Aircraft during such period of storage and shall be
reimbursed by Lessor for the cost thereof.
(e) Delayed Return. (i) In the event that the use of the
Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine in the normal course of the business of air
transportation is prohibited on the last day of the Term or the date the
Aircraft is required to be redelivered pursuant to Section 9, Lessee shall,
upon prompt notice of the reasons therefor to Lessor, not be required to return
such Aircraft to Lessor but may retain custody and control of the Aircraft for
a period not in excess of 180 days beyond the last day of the Term or such date
in order to attempt in a diligent manner to remedy any condition prohibiting
such use or (ii) in connection with any sublease of the Aircraft by Lessee
permitted under the terms of this Lease, Lessee may at its option, upon written
notice to Lessor given not less than 30 days prior to the last day of the Term
or such date, extend this Lease for a period not in excess of 60 days beyond
the last day of the Term in order to enable Lessee to bring the Aircraft to the
condition required under this Section 5 on its return to Lessor; provided that
in either case, Lessee shall pay to Lessor at monthly intervals the daily
equivalent of 50% of the average annual Basic Rent payable during the Term
(excluding the Interim Period) pursuant to the terms hereof for each day of
such period.
(f) Overhaul. Immediately prior to the return of the
Airframe and Engines or engines at the end of the Term, Lessee, upon written
request of Lessor received at least 30 days prior to the end of the Term, and
subject to the availability of the appropriate facilities, will overhaul or
cause to be overhauled such Airframe and Engines or engines. Such overhaul
shall be done in the same manner and same care as used by Lessee with similar
airframes and engines of its own, and Lessor shall reimburse Lessee for such
overhaul by payment of an amount equal to 110% of Lessee's actual costs in
connection with such overhaul. This provision is not intended and shall not be
construed to diminish or modify Lessee's other obligations under this Section
5.
30
AF-2
35
Section 6. 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, title thereto or any interest therein or in this Lease
except (i) the respective rights of Lessor and Lessee as herein provided, the
Lien created under the Trust Indenture, the rights of Lessor under the Purchase
Agreement Assignment and the rights of the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee
and the Indenture Trustee under the Trust Agreement, the Trust Indenture, and
the Participation Agreement, (ii) the rights of others under agreements or
arrangements to the extent expressly permitted by the terms of Sections 7(b)
and 8(b), (iii) Lessor's Liens, Loan Participant Liens and Trustee's Liens,
(iv) Liens for Taxes either not yet due or being contested in good faith (and
for the payment of which adequate reserves have been provided) 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 Airframe or any Engine or
interest therein, (v) materialmen's, mechanics', workmen's, repairmen's,
employees' or other like Liens arising in the ordinary course of Lessee's
business for amounts the payment of which is either not yet delinquent or is
being contested in good faith (and for the payment of which adequate reserves
have been provided) 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 Airframe or any Engine or interest therein, (vi) Liens arising out
of judgments or awards against Lessee with respect to which an appeal or
proceeding for review is being prosecuted in good faith and with respect to
which there shall have been secured a stay of execution pending such appeal or
proceeding for review so long as such judgment or award does not and will not
involve any material risk or danger of the sale, forfeiture or loss (or loss of
use) of the Airframe or any Engine or any interest therein and (vii) salvage or
similar rights of insurers under insurance policies maintained pursuant to
Section 11. Lessee will promptly, at its own expense, take such action as may
be necessary duly to discharge (by bonding or otherwise) any such Lien not
excepted above if the same shall arise at any time.
31
AF-2
36
Section 7. Registration, Maintenance and Operation;
Possession; Insignia. (a) Registration, Maintenance and Operation. Lessee,
at its own cost and expense, shall:
(i) forthwith upon the delivery thereof to Lessor on the
Delivery Date cause the Aircraft to be duly registered, and at all
times thereafter to remain duly registered, under the laws of the
United States, in the name of Lessor, as owner, except (x) as
otherwise required by the Federal Aviation Act, or (y) to the extent
that such registration cannot be effected because of Lessor's or the
Owner Participant's failure to comply with the citizenship or other
eligibility requirements for registration of aircraft under such Act;
provided that Lessor shall execute and deliver all such documents as
Lessee shall reasonably request for the purpose of effecting and
continuing such registration. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence,
but subject always to the terms and conditions set forth in Section
9(m) and 9(n) of the Participation Agreement, Lessee may cause the
Aircraft to be duly registered under the laws of any jurisdiction in
which a sublessee pursuant to Section 7(b)(ix) could be principally
based, in the name of Lessor or of any nominee of Lessor, or, if
required by applicable law, in the name of Lessee or any other Person,
and shall thereafter maintain such registration unless and until
changed as provided herein and therein; and Lessor will cooperate with
Lessee in effecting such foreign registration;
(ii) maintain, service, repair, overhaul and test the Aircraft in
accordance with a maintenance program (as approved by the Federal
Aviation Administration) for Boeing 767-300 series aircraft (or, at
Lessee's option, (x) in the event that the Aircraft is re-registered
in another jurisdiction pursuant to Section 7(a)(i), in accordance
with an aircraft maintenance program approved by the central civil
aviation authority of the jurisdiction of such registration or (y) in
the event of any sublease to a foreign air carrier in accordance with
Section 7(b)(ix), approved by the central civil aviation authority of
one of the jurisdictions specified in clause (y) of such Section
7(b)(ix)) and in the same manner and with the same care used by Lessee
with
32
AF-2
37
respect to comparable aircraft and engines owned or operated by Lessee
and utilized in similar circumstances so as to keep the Aircraft in as
good operating condition as when delivered to Lessee by the
Manufacturer, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and in such condition
as may be necessary to enable the airworthiness certification of the
Aircraft to be maintained in good standing at all times (other than
during temporary periods of storage in accordance with applicable
regulations or during periods of grounding by applicable governmental
authorities, except where such periods of grounding are the result of
the failure by Lessee to maintain the Aircraft as otherwise required
herein) under the Federal Aviation Act or, if the Aircraft is
registered under the laws of any other jurisdiction, the laws of such
jurisdiction and in compliance with all applicable manufacturer's
alert service bulletins;
(iii) maintain, in the English language, all records, logs and
other materials required by the appropriate authorities in the
jurisdiction where the Aircraft is registered to be maintained in
respect of the Aircraft; and
(iv) promptly furnish to Lessor such information as may be
required to enable Lessor to file any reports, returns or statements
required to be filed by Lessor with any governmental authority because
of Lessor's or the Owner Participant's interest in the Aircraft.
Lessee agrees that the Aircraft will not be maintained, used
or operated in violation of any law or any rule, regulation or order 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; provided that Lessee
shall not be in default under this sentence if it is not possible for it to
comply with the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States (or other
than any jurisdiction in which the Aircraft is then registered) because of a
conflict with the applicable laws of the United States (or such jurisdiction in
which the Aircraft is then registered); provided further that, if the Aircraft
shall have been registered in a jurisdiction other than the United States,
Lessee shall take all reasonable steps to resolve such
33
AF-2
38
conflict, including, if necessary, the removal of the Aircraft from such other
jurisdiction or changing the country of registry of the Aircraft. In the event
that any such law, rule, regulation or order requires alteration of the
Aircraft, Lessee will conform thereto or obtain conformance therewith at no
expense to Lessor and will maintain the Aircraft in proper operating condition
under such laws, rules, regulations and orders; provided, however, that Lessee
may, in good faith, contest the validity or application of any such law, rule,
regulation or order in any reasonable manner which does not materially
adversely affect Lessor, the Aircraft, the Owner Participant or the lien of the
Trust Indenture, provided that neither noncompliance with such law, rule,
regulation or order nor such proceedings shall involve any danger of criminal
liability to Lessor or the Owner Participant or (unless Lessee shall have
provided security reasonably satisfactory to Lessor) any material danger of the
sale, forfeiture or loss (or loss of use) of the Aircraft. Lessee also agrees
not to operate or locate the Aircraft, or suffer the Aircraft to be operated or
located, (i) in any area excluded from coverage by any insurance required by
the terms of Section 11, except in the case of a requisition for use by any
Government where Lessee obtains indemnity pursuant to Section 11 in lieu of
such insurance from such Government against the risks and in the amounts
required by Section 11 covering such area, or (ii) in any war zone or
recognized or, in Lessee's judgment, threatened area of hostilities unless
covered by war risk insurance in accordance with Section 11, but only so long
as the same remains in effect while the Aircraft is so operated or located, or
unless the Aircraft is operated or used under contract with any Government
entered into pursuant to Section 11, under which contract such Government
assumes liability for any damage, loss, (or loss of use) destruction or failure
to return possession of the Aircraft at the end of the term of such contract
and for injury to persons and damage to property of others.
(b) Possession. Lessee will not, without the prior written
consent of Lessor, sublease or otherwise in any manner deliver, transfer or
relinquish possession of 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 (or, only so long as the Original
Loan Participant shall be a holder of any Certificate, as to any sublease
34
AF-2
39
pursuant to the provisions of clause (ix) of this Section 7(b), an event that
with the giving of notice of lapse of time or both would constitute an Event of
Default under Section 14(a), (g), (h) or (i) hereof) shall have occurred and be
continuing, and so long as the action to be taken shall not deprive the
Indenture Trustee of the perfected lien of the Trust Indenture on the Airframe
or (subject to subclause (B) of the "provided further" clause to subsection (i)
of this Section 7(b)) any Engine, and in any event, so long as Lessee shall
comply with the provisions of Section 11, Lessee may, without the prior consent
of Lessor:
(i) subject the Airframe to normal interchange agreements or any
Engine to normal interchange or pooling agreements or arrangements in
each case customary in the airline industry and entered into by Lessee
in the ordinary course of its business with any other United States
air carrier as to which there is in force a certificate issued
pursuant to Section 401 of the Federal Aviation Act or any successor
provision that gives like authority or with any "foreign air carrier"
(as such term is defined in such Act) as to which there is in force a
permit issued pursuant to Section 402 of said Act (any such United
States certificated air carrier and any such foreign air carrier being
hereinafter called a "Permitted Air Carrier"); provided that no
transfer of the registration of such Airframe shall be effected in
connection therewith; and provided, further, that (A) no such
agreement or arrangement contemplates or requires the transfer of
title to the Airframe and (B) if Lessor's title to any such Engine
shall be 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;
(ii) deliver possession of the Airframe or any Engine to the
manufacturer thereof for testing or other similar purposes or to any
organization for service, repair, maintenance or overhaul work on the
Airframe or such Engine or any part thereof or for alterations or
modifications in or additions to the Airframe or such Engine to the
extent required or permitted by the terms of Section 7(a) or 8(c);
35
AF-2
40
(iii) transfer possession of the Airframe or any Engine to the
United States of America or any instrumentality or agency thereof
pursuant to a sublease, contract or other instrument, a copy of which
shall be furnished to Lessor; provided that the term of such sublease
(including, without limitation, any option of the sublessee to renew
or extend) or the term of possession under such contract or other
instrument shall not continue beyond the end of the Term or any
Renewal Term then in effect;
(iv) transfer possession of the Airframe or any Engine to the
United States of America or any instrumentality or agency thereof in
accordance with applicable laws, rulings, regulations or orders
(including, without limitation, the Civil Reserve Air Fleet Program
authorized under 10 U.S.C. Section 9511 et seq. or any substantially
similar program), provided that Lessee (x) notifies Lessor of such
transfer of possession of the Airframe or any Engine to the United
States or any agency or instrumentality thereof and (y) provides to
Lessor the name and the address of the responsible Contracting Office
Representative for the Military Airlift Command of the United States
within 60 days thereof;
(v) install an Engine on an airframe owned by Lessee free and
clear of all Liens, except (A) those of the type permitted under
clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) of Section 6 and those
which apply only to the engines (other than Engines), appliances,
parts, instruments, appurtenances, accessories, furnishings and other
equipment (other than Parts) installed on such airframe (but not to
the airframe as an entirety) and (B) the rights of other Permitted Air
Carriers under normal interchange agreements which are customary in
the airline industry and do not contemplate, permit or require the
transfer of title to the airframe or engines installed thereon;
(vi) install an Engine on an airframe leased to Lessee or owned
by Lessee subject to a conditional sale or other security agreement;
provided that (A) such airframe is free and clear of all Liens except
the rights of the parties to the lease or conditional sale or other
security agreement covering such airframe and except Liens of the type
permitted by
36
AF-2
41
clauses (A) and (B) of subparagraph (v) of this paragraph of Section
7(b) and (B) Lessee shall have obtained from the lessor or secured
party of such airframe a written agreement (which may be the lease or
conditional sale or other security agreement covering such airframe),
in form and substance satisfactory to Lessor (it being understood that
an agreement from such lessor or secured party substantially in the
form of the final sentence of the penultimate paragraph of this
Section 7(b) shall be deemed to be satisfactory to Lessor), whereby
such lessor or secured party expressly agrees that neither it nor its
successors or assigns will acquire or claim any right, title or
interest in any Engine by reason of such Engine being installed on
such airframe at any time while such Engine is subject to this Lease
or to the lien of the Trust Indenture;
(vii) install an Engine on an airframe owned by Lessee, leased to
Lessee or owned by Lessee subject to a conditional sale or other
security agreement under circumstances where neither subparagraph (v)
nor subparagraph (vi) of this Section 7(b) is applicable; provided
that 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, Lessor not intending hereby to waive any right or interest it
may have to or in such Engine under applicable law until compliance by
Lessee with such Section 10(b); and
(viii) sublease any Engine or the Airframe and Engines or engines
then installed on the Airframe to any United States air carrier as to
which there is in force a certificate issued pursuant to Section 401
of the Federal Aviation Act or successor provision that gives like
authority; provided that the term of such sublease (including, without
limitation, any option of the sublessee to renew or extend) shall not
continue beyond the end of the Term or any Renewal Term then in
effect, unless Lessee shall have agreed to purchase the Aircraft or
renew this Lease in accordance with the terms hereof at the end of the
Term or such Renewal Term, as the case may be, to a date beyond the
end of the term of such sublease (assuming that all options to renew
or extend such sublease will be exercised); and
37
AF-2
42
(ix) sublease any Engine or the Airframe and Engines or engines
then installed on the Airframe to (A) any foreign air carrier that is
principally based in and a domiciliary of a country (other than Cuba,
El Salvador, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon and Libya) that is at the inception
of the sublease a party to the Mortgage Convention, or (B) any foreign
air carrier that is principally based in and a domiciliary of a
country listed in Exhibit B hereto, or (C) any foreign air carrier not
described in clause (A) or (B) above; provided that (w) in the case
only of a sublease to a foreign air carrier under clause (C) above,
Lessor and the Loan Participants receive at the time of such sublease
an opinion of counsel to Lessee (which counsel shall be reasonably
satisfactory to Lessor, the Owner Participant and the Loan
Participants) to the effect that (a) the terms of the sublease and the
Operative Documents are legal, valid, binding and enforceable in the
country in which such foreign air carrier is principally based, to
substantially the same extent as the Operative Documents are at that
time enforceable in the United States, (b) it is not necessary for
Lessor or the Owner Participant to qualify to do business in such
country solely as a result of the proposed sublease, (c) there is no
tort liability of the owner of an aircraft not in possession thereof
(or of a lender providing funds for the purchase of an aircraft) under
the laws of such country other than tort liability no more extensive
or onerous than that which might have been imposed on such owner or
lender under the laws of the United States or any state thereof (it
being understood that, in the event such opinion cannot be given in a
form satisfactory to Lessor, the Owner Participant and the Loan
Participants, such opinion shall be waived if insurance reasonably
satisfactory to Lessor, the Owner Participant and the Loan
Participants is provided by Lessee to cover the risk of such
liability), (d) the laws of such country require fair compensation by
the government of such country for the loss of use of the Aircraft in
the event of the requisition by such government of the Aircraft
(unless Lessee shall have agreed to provide insurance reasonably
satisfactory to Lessor, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner
Participant covering the risk of requisition of use of the Aircraft by
the government of such jurisdiction so long as the Aircraft is
subleased in such country), and
38
AF-2
43
(e) there exist no possessory rights in favor of such sublessee under
the laws of such country which would, upon bankruptcy of or other
default by Lessee or the sublessee, prevent the return of such Engine
or the Airframe and such Engine or engine to Lessor in accordance with
and when permitted by the terms of Sections 14 and 15(a) hereof upon
the exercise by Lessor of its remedies under Section 15(a), (x) in the
case only of a sublease to a foreign air carrier under clause (C)
above, each of Lessor and the Owner Participant receives assurances
reasonably satisfactory to it that the currency of such country is
freely convertible into U.S. Dollars (unless the Lessee shall have
made arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Lessor and the Owner
Participant that all payments to be made by or on behalf of the Lessee
under the Operative Documents and by the sublessee under the relevant
sublease will be paid in U.S. Dollars), (y) in the case of any
sublease to a foreign air carrier, either the sublease, or an
arrangement existing between Lessee, the sublessee and/or one or more
third parties that provide maintenance services, provides that the
Aircraft will be maintained, serviced, repaired, overhauled and tested
in accordance with maintenance standards for Boeing 767-300 series
aircraft approved by, or substantially similar to those approved or
required by, the Federal Aviation Administration or the central civil
aviation authority of any of Brazil, Canada, France, The Federal
Republic of Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Sweden,
Switzerland or the United Kingdom and (z) in the case of any sublease
to a foreign air carrier (other than a foreign air carrier principally
based in Taiwan) the United States of America maintains normal
diplomatic relations with the country in which such foreign air
carrier is principally based at the time such sublease is entered
into; and provided, further, that the term of any such sublease
(including, without limitation, any option of the sublessee to renew
or extend) shall not continue beyond the end of the Term or any
Renewal Term then in effect, unless Lessee shall have agreed to
purchase the Aircraft or renew this Lease in accordance with the terms
hereof at the end of the Term or such Renewal Term, as the case may
be, to a date beyond the end of the term of such sublease (assuming
that all options to renew or extend such sublease will be exercised);
39
AF-2
44
provided that the rights of any transferee who receives possession by reason of
a transfer permitted by this Section 7(b) (other than the transfer of an Engine
which is deemed an Event of Loss) shall be subject and subordinate to, and any
sublease permitted by this Section 7(b) shall be made expressly subject and
subordinate to, all the terms of this Lease and of the Trust Indenture,
including, without limitation, Lessor's rights to repossession pursuant to
Section 15(a) hereof and to avoid such sublease upon such repossession and the
Indenture Trustee's rights to possession pursuant to Section 4.04 of the Trust
Indenture, and Lessee shall in all events remain primarily liable hereunder for
the performance and observance of all of the terms and conditions of this Lease
to the same extent as if such sublease or transfer had not occurred, and any
such sublease shall include appropriate provisions for the maintenance (subject
to clause (y) of the first proviso to Section 7(b)(ix)) and insurance of the
Aircraft. No interchange agreement, pooling 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
hereunder or under the other Operative Documents. With the prior written
consent of Lessor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, Lessee may
sub-sublease the Airframe or Engines in connection with a transaction that
involves such a sub-sublease commencing at the inception of the transaction.
Lessee may not otherwise sub-sublease the Airframe or Engines. Lessee shall
not sublease the Airframe or Engines to any sublessee that is the subject of a
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding at the inception of such
sublease without the prior written consent of Lessor, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld. Lessee shall, promptly upon entering into a sublease
of the Airframe or Engines, notify Lessor, the Owner Participant and the
Indenture Trustee of the identity of the sublessee and the term of such
sublease and shall provide a copy of such sublease agreement to any of Lessor,
the Owner Participant or the Indenture Trustee upon request therefrom (with
economic and financial provisions and information deleted therefrom if Lessee
shall so choose), provided that, except to the extent required by applicable
law, such parties shall keep confidential the identity of the sublessee and the
existence and terms of such sublease. Lessor hereby agrees, for the benefit of
the lessor or secured party of any airframe or engine leased to Lessee or owned
by Lessee subject to a conditional sale or other security agreement that Lessor
will
40
AF-2
45
not acquire or claim, as against such lessor or secured party, any right, title
or interest in any engine or engines owned 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 as the result of such engine or
engines being installed on the Airframe at any time while such engine or
engines are subject to such lease or conditional sale or other security
agreement.
Lessor acknowledges that any "wet lease" or other similar
arrangement under which Lessee maintains operational control of the Aircraft
shall not constitute a delivery, transfer or relinquishment of possession for
purposes of this Section 7(b).
(c) Insignia. Lessee agrees to affix as promptly as
practicable after the Delivery Date and thereafter to maintain in the cockpit
of the Airframe adjacent to the airworthiness certificate therein and (if not
prevented by applicable law or regulations or by any governmental authority) on
each Engine a nameplate bearing the inscription "WILMINGTON TRUST COMPANY, AS
OWNER TRUSTEE, LESSOR", and, so long as the Airframe or such Engine shall
constitute a part of the Indenture Estate, the inscription "NATIONSBANK OF
GEORGIA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, AS INDENTURE TRUSTEE/MORTGAGEE" (such nameplate
to be replaced, if necessary, with a nameplate reflecting the name of any
successor Lessor or successor Indenture Trustee). Except as above provided,
Lessee will not allow the name of any Person to be placed on the Airframe or on
any Engine as a designation that might be interpreted as a claim of ownership;
provided that nothing herein contained shall prohibit Lessee (or any sublessee)
from placing its customary colors and insignia on the Airframe or any Engine.
Section 8. Replacement and Pooling of Parts; Alterations,
Modifications and Additions. (a) Replacement of Parts. Lessee, at its own
cost and expense, will promptly replace all Parts which may from time to time
be incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or any Engine and
which may from time to time become worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized,
confiscated, damaged beyond repair or rendered permanently unfit for use for
any reason whatsoever, except as otherwise provided in Section 8(c). In
addition, Lessee may, at its own cost and expense, remove in the ordinary
course of maintenance, service, repair, overhaul or testing, any Parts, whether
41
AF-2
46
or not worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond
repair or rendered permanently unfit for use; provided that Lessee, except as
otherwise provided in Section 8(c), will, at its own cost and expense, replace
such Parts as promptly as possible. All replacement Parts shall be free and
clear of all Liens (except for pooling arrangements to the extent permitted by
Section 8(b) and Permitted Liens), and shall be in as good operating condition
as, and shall have a value and utility at least equal to, the Parts replaced,
assuming such replaced Parts were in the condition and repair required to be
maintained by the terms hereof. Title to all Parts at any time removed from
the Airframe or any Engine shall remain vested in Lessor no matter where
located, until such time as such Parts shall be replaced by Parts which have
been incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or any Engine and
which meet the requirements for replacement Parts specified above. Immediately
upon any replacement Part becoming incorporated or installed in or attached to
the Airframe or any Engine as above provided, without further act, (i) title to
the replaced Part shall thereupon vest in Lessee, free and clear of all rights
of Lessor, and such replaced Part shall no longer be deemed a Part hereunder,
(ii) title to such replacement Part shall thereupon vest in Lessor, free and
clear of all Liens (except for Permitted Liens) and (iii) such replacement Part
shall become subject to this Lease and be deemed part of the Airframe or such
Engine for all purposes to the same extent as the Parts originally incorporated
or installed in or attached to the Airframe or such Engine.
(b) Pooling of Parts. Any Part removed from the Airframe or
an Engine as provided in Section 8(a) may be subjected by Lessee to a normal
pooling arrangement customary in the airline industry entered into in the
ordinary course of Lessee's business with Permitted Air Carriers; provided that
the Part replacing such removed Part shall be incorporated or installed in or
attached to the Airframe or such Engine in accordance with Section 8(a) as
promptly as practicable after the removal of such removed Part. In addition,
any replacement Part when incorporated or installed in or attached to the
Airframe or an Engine in accordance with Section 8(a) may be owned by a
Permitted Air Carrier subject to such a normal pooling arrangement; provided
that Lessee, at its expense, as promptly thereafter as practicable, either (i)
causes title to such replacement Part to vest in Lessor in accordance with
Section 8(a) by Lessee acquiring
42
AF-2
47
title thereto for the benefit of, and transferring such title to, Lessor, free
and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens) or (ii) replaces such
replacement Part by incorporating or installing in or attaching to the Airframe
or such Engine a further replacement Part owned by Lessee free and clear of all
Liens (other than Permitted Liens) and by causing title to such further
replacement Part to vest in Lessor in accordance with Section 8(a).
(c) Alterations, Modifications and Additions. Lessee, at its
own expense, will make such alterations and modifications in and additions to
the Airframe and the Engines as may be required from time to time to meet the
standards of the Federal Aviation Administration or other governmental
authority having jurisdiction in any country in or over which the Aircraft is
flown; provided, however, that Lessee may, in good faith, contest the validity
or application of any such standard in any reasonable manner which does not
adversely affect Lessor, the Aircraft, the Owner Participant or the lien of the
Trust Indenture, provided that neither noncompliance with such standard nor
such proceedings shall involve any danger of criminal liability to Lessor or
the Owner Participant or (unless Lessee shall have provided security reasonably
satisfactory to Lessor) any material danger of the sale, forfeiture or loss of
the Aircraft. In addition, Lessee, at its own expense, may from time to time
make or cause to be made such alterations and modifications in and additions to
the Airframe or any Engine as Lessee may deem desirable in the proper conduct
of its business, including, without limitation, removal of Parts which Lessee
deems to be obsolete or no longer suitable or appropriate for use on the
Airframe or such Engine (such Parts being referred to as "Obsolete Parts");
provided that no such alteration, modification, addition or removal shall
diminish the value or utility of the Airframe or such Engine, or materially
impair the condition or airworthiness thereof, below the value, utility,
condition and airworthiness thereof immediately prior to such alteration,
modification, addition or removal assuming the Airframe or such Engine was then
of the value and utility and in the condition and airworthiness required to be
maintained by the terms of this Lease, except that the value (but not the
utility, condition or airworthiness) of the Aircraft may be reduced by the
value of Obsolete Parts which shall have been removed, if the aggregate value
of all such Obsolete Parts removed from the Aircraft and not replaced shall not
exceed $500,000. Title to all Parts incorporated or
43
AF-2
48
installed in or attached or added to the Airframe or any Engine as the result
of such alteration, modification or addition shall, without further act, vest
in Lessor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee may, at any time during the
Term, remove any Part; 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 to the Airframe or such Engine at the time of 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 or added to such Airframe or Engine pursuant to the first sentence of
this Section 8(c), and (iii) such Part can be removed from the Airframe or such
Engine without diminishing or impairing the value, utility, condition or
airworthiness required to be maintained by the terms of this Lease which the
Airframe or such Engine would have had at such time had such removal not
occurred. Upon the removal by Lessee of any Part as provided in the
immediately preceding sentence or the removal of any Obsolete Part permitted by
this Section 8(c), title thereto shall, without further act, vest in Lessee and
such Part shall no longer be deemed part of the Airframe or the Engine from
which it was removed. Title to any such Part not removed by Lessee prior to
the return of the Airframe or any Engine to Lessor hereunder shall remain
vested in Lessor.
Section 9. Voluntary Termination. (a) Right of Termination.
So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessee
shall have the right at its option (i) to terminate this Lease at any time on
or after the fifth anniversary of the Delivery Date, if in Lessee's good faith
determination (evidenced by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of Lessee to
such effect) the Aircraft is surplus to Lessee's requirements or economically
obsolete to Lessee, and (ii) at any time on or after the eighth anniversary of
the Delivery Date to terminate this Lease for any reason whatsoever, in each
case by delivering to Lessor a written notice of termination specifying a
proposed date of termination (the "Termination Date") which shall be a Business
Day occurring not earlier than 90 days after the date of such notice, and, if
the Termination Date is a Special Termination Date, whether or not Lessee is
thereby electing to purchase the Aircraft on such Special Termination Date as
provided in Section 9(e). The termination of this Lease shall, subject to the
terms and conditions of this Section 9, be
44
AF-2
49
effective on (i) if Lessee has not elected to purchase the Aircraft as provided
in Section 9(e) and Lessor has elected to sell the Aircraft, as provided below,
the date of sale of the Aircraft, if any, referred to in Section 9(b), (ii) if
Lessee has not elected to purchase the Aircraft as provided in Section 9(e) and
Lessor has elected to retain the Aircraft as provided in Section 9(d), the date
of termination referred to in Section 9(d), or (iii) if Lessee has elected to
purchase the Aircraft as provided in Section 9(e), the date of purchase
referred to in Section 9(e). Where Lessee has not elected to purchase the
Aircraft as provided in Section 9(e), Lessor shall give Lessee irrevocable
notice of its election to sell or retain the Aircraft no later than 30 days
prior to the Termination Date. In the event Lessor shall fail to give notice
pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, notice of its election to sell
the Aircraft shall be deemed to have been given as of such thirtieth day prior
to the Termination Date. Unless Lessor shall have given to Lessee a timely
notice of its election to retain the Aircraft as provided in Section 9(d),
Lessee may withdraw the termination notice referred to above at any time on or
prior to the date three Business Days prior to the Termination Date, whereupon
this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. In the event Lessee
withdraws, after the third Business Day prior to the Termination Date, a notice
of termination given pursuant to this Section 9(a) or such notice is deemed
withdrawn pursuant to the final sentence of Section 9(b), Lessee will reimburse
Lessor, each Loan Participant and the Owner Participant for any reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses (including any Break Amount incurred in anticipation of
such termination) incurred by it in connection with the proposed sale, except
Lessee shall not be obligated to reimburse Lessor and the Owner Participant for
any out-of-pocket expenses to the extent Lessor shall have failed to comply
with its obligations under this Section 9. Lessee shall not be entitled to
exercise its right of termination provided for in this Section 9(a) more than
four times during the Term (not including for purposes of this sentence any
exercise by Lessee of such right of termination immediately following a failure
of this Lease to be terminated by reason of Lessor's failure to comply with its
obligations under this Section 9).
(b) Sale of Aircraft. If Lessee has not elected to purchase
the Aircraft as provided in Section 9(e) and Lessor has elected or is deemed to
have
45
AF-2
50
elected to sell the Aircraft pursuant to Section 9(a), Lessee will have the
option of acting as non-exclusive agent for Lessor to obtain bids for the cash
purchase on or prior to the Termination Date of the Aircraft. Lessor agrees to
pay Lessee a commercially reasonable brokerage fee based on the then current
industry practice in the event that Lessee locates the Person who purchases the
Aircraft pursuant to this Section 9(b). If Lessee acts as such agent, no later
than ten Business Days prior to the Termination Date, Lessee shall certify to
Lessor in writing the amount and terms of each cash bid received by Lessee and
the name and the address of the Person submitting each such bid. Lessor may
(but need not) also, at its expense (which expense, including without
limitation any broker's or finder's fees, shall be for the Owner Participant's
own account), independently obtain cash bids for such purchase and, in the
event Lessor receives any such bid, Lessor shall promptly, and in any event at
least five Business Days prior to the Termination Date, certify to Lessee in
writing the amount and terms of such bid and the name and address of the Person
submitting such bid. Neither the Owner Participant, Lessee, nor any Affiliate
of either may submit a bid for the Aircraft, directly or indirectly, in
connection with such proposed sale. On the Termination Date (or such other
date of sale as may be agreed to by Lessor and Lessee, which shall thereafter
be deemed the Termination Date), (x) Lessee shall, subject to receipt (i) by
Lessor (or, so long as the Trust Indenture shall not have been discharged, the
Indenture Trustee) of the full purchase price thereof and all amounts owing to
Lessor pursuant to the next sentence, and (ii) by the Persons entitled thereto
of all unpaid Supplemental Rent due on or before the Termination Date, deliver
the Aircraft at a location selected by Lessee to the Person who shall have
submitted the highest cash bid net of any broker's or finder's fees (or such
other purchaser acceptable to Lessor and Lessee), in the same manner as if
delivery were made to Lessor at the end of the Term pursuant to Section 5, and
shall duly transfer to Lessor title to any engines installed on the Airframe
but not owned by Lessor, all in accordance with the terms of Section 5, and (y)
Lessor shall simultaneously therewith sell, without recourse or warranty
(except as to Lessor's Liens), for cash all of Lessor's right, title and
interest in and to the Aircraft to such highest net cash bidder (or other
purchaser). The total selling price realized at such sale shall be retained by
Lessor (or, so long as the Trust Indenture shall not have been discharged,
distri-
46
AF-2
51
buted by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the terms of the Trust Indenture)
and, in addition, on the Termination Date, Lessee shall pay to Lessor or, in
the case of Supplemental Rent, to the Persons entitled thereto, in funds of the
type specified in Section 3(d), an amount equal to (I) the sum of (1) the
excess, if any, of (A) the Termination Value for the Aircraft as of the
Termination Date, over (B) the proceeds of the sale of the Aircraft after
deducting the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lessor and the
Owner Participant (including any brokerage fee paid to Lessee or any other
Person), plus (2) all Supplemental Rent (including, without limitation, Break
Amount, if any, on the Certificates) due and owing on the Termination Date,
plus (3) (A) if the Termination Date is a Lease Period Date, the Basic Rent
installment due and payable on that date pursuant to Section 3(b) (it being
understood and agreed that Lessee shall not be required to pay the portion, if
any, of such Basic Rent installment designated in Exhibit A-1 to the Rent
Schedule as being payable in advance), or (B) if the Termination Date is not a
Lease Period Date and if Basic Rent is payable in arrears during the Lease
Period commencing on the Lease Period Date next preceding the Termination Date,
an amount equal to the Accrued Arrears Basic Rent for the period from and
including such Lease Period Date to but excluding the Termination Date, plus
(4) all Basic Rent due and payable prior to the Termination Date and unpaid,
less (II) any credit to which Lessee may be entitled as hereinafter in this
Section 9(b) provided. Subject always to the provisions of the penultimate
paragraph of Section 3(b), if the Termination Date with respect to which
Termination Value is determined is not a Lease Period Date and if any portion
of the Basic Rent installment paid in respect of the Lease Period commencing on
the Lease Period Date next preceding the Termination Date is designated in
Exhibit A-1 to the Rent Schedule as having been payable in advance, Lessee
shall be entitled to a credit against the amounts payable by it pursuant to
this Section 9(b) in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the Unearned Advance
Basic Rent as of the Termination Date, and (y) the amount, if any, by which the
proceeds of the sale of the Aircraft after deducting the reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lessor and the Owner Participant (including
any brokerage fee paid to Lessee or any other Person) exceeds the Termination
Value for the Aircraft as of the Termination Date; provided that, in the event
that the amount calculated pursuant to this sentence to be credited exceeds the
amounts payable by Lessee pursuant to this
47
AF-2
52
Section 9(b), the Owner Participant shall be obligated to rebate an amount
equal to such excess to Lessee. If on or prior to the scheduled Termination
Date no sale of the Aircraft shall have occurred and if Lessor shall not have
elected to retain the Aircraft in accordance with Section 9(d) or Lessee shall
not have elected to purchase the Aircraft in accordance with Section 9(e),
Lessee's notice given pursuant to Section 9(a) shall be deemed to be withdrawn
as of such scheduled Termination Date and this Lease shall continue in full
force and effect.
(c) Certain Obligations upon Sale of Aircraft. Upon the sale
of the Aircraft pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Section
9(b), Lessor will transfer to Lessee, without recourse or warranty (except as
to Lessor's Liens), all of Lessor's right, title and interest in and to any
Engines constituting part of the Aircraft but which are not then installed on
the Aircraft. Lessor shall be under no duty to solicit bids, to inquire into
the efforts of Lessee to obtain bids or otherwise take any action in connection
with the sale of the Aircraft under Section 9(b), other than to transfer to the
purchaser of the Aircraft (or to such purchaser and to Lessee, as the case may
be), without recourse or warranty (except as to Lessor's Liens), all of
Lessor's right, title and interest in and to the Aircraft against receipt of
the payments provided for herein, and to pay the amounts, if any, required to
be paid by Lessor under Section 9(b) or this Section 9(c), and to request the
Indenture Trustee upon the sale of the Aircraft pursuant to Section 9(b) to
execute and deliver to such purchaser (or to such purchaser and to Lessee, as
the case may be) an appropriate instrument releasing the Aircraft from the lien
of the Trust Indenture and releasing the Purchase Agreement and the Purchase
Agreement Assignment from the assignment and pledge under the Trust Indenture.
Lessor agrees to notify promptly Lessee of the appointment by Lessor of any
broker or finder (other than Lessee) in connection with the sale of the
Aircraft pursuant to Section 9(b) and, subject to Section 9(b), to pay the fees
or commissions of any such broker or finder employed by Lessor in connection
with the sale of the Aircraft pursuant to Section 9(b).
(d) Retention of Aircraft by Lessor. If Lessee has not
elected to purchase the Aircraft as provided in Section 9(e) and Lessor has
elected to retain the Aircraft pursuant to Section 9(a), on the Termination
Date
48
AF-2
53
specified in Lessee's termination notice, Lessor shall pay, or cause to be
paid, to the Indenture Trustee funds of the type and in an amount equal to (1)
the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Certificates and all accrued
interest thereon, plus (2) all other sums due and payable on such Termination
Date under the Trust Indenture, the Participation Agreement or such
Certificates. Subject to receipt by the Indenture Trustee of such funds, on
the Termination Date, (i) Lessee (x) shall deliver the Aircraft to Lessor in
the same manner as if delivery were made to Lessor at the end of the Term
pursuant to Section 5, and shall duly transfer to Lessor title to any engines
installed on the Airframe but not owned by Lessor, all in accordance with the
terms of Section 5, and (y) shall pay to Lessor or to the Persons entitled
thereto, in funds of the type specified in Section 3(d), (A) all Supplemental
Rent (including, without limitation, Break Amount, if any, on the
Certificates), other than Termination Value, and, if the Termination Date is a
Lease Period Date, the Basic Rent installment due and payable on that date
pursuant to Section 3(b) (it being understood and agreed that Lessee shall not
be required to pay the portion, if any, of such Basic Rent installment
designated in Exhibit A-1 to the Rent Schedule as being payable in advance) or,
if the Termination Date is not a Lease Period Date and if Basic Rent is payable
in arrears during the Lease Period commencing on the Lease Period Date next
preceding the Termination Date, an amount equal to the Accrued Arrears Basic
Rent for the period from and including such Lease Period Date to but excluding
the Termination Date, and all Basic Rent due and payable prior to the
Termination Date and unpaid, less (B) any credit to which Lessee may be
entitled as hereinafter in this Section 9(d) provided, and (ii) Lessor (x)
shall transfer or cause to be transferred to Lessee, without recourse or
warranty (except as to Lessor's Liens), all of Lessor's right, title and
interest in and to any Engines constituting part of the Aircraft but which are
not then installed on the Aircraft, and (y) Lessor shall request the Indenture
Trustee to execute and deliver to Lessee an appropriate instrument releasing
the Aircraft from the lien of the Trust Indenture and releasing the Purchase
Agreement and the Purchase Agreement Assignment from the assignment and pledge
under the Trust Indenture. If the Termination Date is not a Lease Period Date
and if any portion of the Basic Rent installment paid in respect of the Lease
Period commencing on the Lease Period Date next preceding the Termination Date
is designated in Exhibit A-1 to the Rent
49
AF-2
54
Schedule as having been payable in advance, Lessee shall, subject always to the
provisions of the penultimate paragraph of Section 3(b), be entitled to a
credit against the amounts payable by it pursuant to this Section 9(d) in an
amount equal to the Unearned Advance Basic Rent as of the Termination Date;
provided that in the event that the Unearned Advance Basic Rent exceeds the
amount payable by Lessee pursuant to this Section 9(d), the Owner Participant
will be obligated to rebate an amount equal to such excess to Lessee. If
Lessor shall fail to perform any of its obligations pursuant to this Section
9(d) and as a result thereof this Lease shall not be terminated on a proposed
Termination Date, Lessor shall thereafter no longer be entitled to exercise its
election to retain the Aircraft and Lessee may at its option at any time
thereafter submit a new termination notice pursuant to Section 9(a).
(e) Purchase of Aircraft by Lessee. In the event that
Lessee shall have elected to purchase the Aircraft on a Special Termination
Date pursuant to Section 9(a), on such Special Termination Date, Lessee shall
purchase the Aircraft at a price (the "Special Termination Price") equal to the
greater of (I) the Termination Value for the Aircraft, computed as of the
Special Termination Date, and (II) the then fair market sales value of the
Aircraft, as determined by mutual agreement of Lessor and Lessee or, if they
shall be unable to agree, by an Independent Appraisal. On such Special
Termination Date, (x) Lessee (i) shall pay to Lessor or to the Persons entitled
thereto, in funds of the type specified in Section 3(d), all unpaid
Supplemental Rent (including, without limitation, Break Amount, if any, on the
Certificates), other than Termination Value, due and owing on such Special
Termination Date, all Basic Rent due and payable prior to the Special
Termination Date and unpaid and the Basic Rent installment due and payable on
the Special Termination Date pursuant to Section 3(b) (it being understood and
agreed that Lessee shall not be required to pay the portion, if any, of such
Basic Rent installment designated in Exhibit A-1 to the Rent Schedule as being
payable in advance) and (ii) at its option shall either (A) pay to Lessor, in
funds of the type specified in Section 3(d), the Special Termination Price, or
(B) assume all of the rights and obligations of the Owner Trustee under the
Trust Indenture in respect of the Certificates (including, without limitation,
any scheduled payment of principal of, Break Amount, if any, on, or
50
AF-2
55
accrued interest on, the Certificates due and payable on the Special
Termination Date but, provided that the principal of the Certificates shall not
have been accelerated pursuant to Section 4.04 of the Trust Indenture, only to
the extent that the Basic Rent installment payable by Lessee pursuant to clause
(i) above does not cover such scheduled payment of principal of or accrued
interest on the Certificates but excluding any obligations or liabilities of
the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity incurred on or prior to the
Special Termination Date, which obligations and liabilities shall remain the
sole responsibility of the Owner Trustee) in accordance with Section 2.16 of
the Trust Indenture and simultaneously shall pay to Lessor, in funds of the
type specified in Section 3(d), an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the
Special Termination Price over an amount equal to the sum of the principal of,
and any accrued and unpaid interest on, the outstanding Certificates on such
Special Termination Date, after taking into account any payments of principal
or interest made in respect of the outstanding Certificates on such Special
Termination Date, and (y) Lessor will sell to Lessee, without recourse or
warranty (except as to Lessor's Liens), all of Lessor's right, title and
interest in and to the Aircraft and all of Lessor's right, title and interest
in and to any Engines constituting part of the Aircraft but which are not then
installed on the Aircraft and, if Lessee shall not have assumed the rights and
obligations of the Owner Trustee under the Trust Indenture in respect of the
Certificates as provided for above, Lessor will request the Indenture Trustee
to execute and deliver to Lessee an appropriate instrument releasing the
Airframe and Engines with respect to which title is transferred from the lien
of the Trust Indenture and releasing the Purchase Agreement and the Purchase
Agreement Assignment from the assignment and pledge thereunder.

purchase of the Aircraft, as the case may be, in compliance with the provisions
of this Section 9, (i) the obligation of Lessee to pay Basic Rent under Section
3(b) on any Lease Period Date occurring subsequent to the applicable
Termination Value Determination Date, and (ii) the obligation of Lessee to pay
Supplemental Rent (subject to Section 3(f), other than payments of Supplemental
Rent to be made by Lessee (x) surviving pursuant to Section 7(d) of the
Participation Agreement or Section 10 of the Tax Indemnity Agreement, (y)
pursuant to clause
51
AF-2
56
(ii) of the second sentence of Section 3(c) of this Lease, or (z) in respect of
liabilities and obligations of Lessee which have accrued under any Operative
Document but not been paid or which are in dispute as of the date of such sale
or retention) shall cease as of the Termination Date and, in each case, the
Term shall end effective as of the Termination Date.
(g) Termination as to Engines. So long as no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessee shall have the right at
its option at any time, on at least 60 days' prior written notice to Lessor and
the Indenture Trustee, to terminate this Lease with respect to any Engine. In
such event, and prior to the date of such termination, Lessee shall replace
such Engine hereunder 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.
Section 10. Loss, Destruction, Requisition, Etc. (a) Event
of Loss with Respect to the Airframe. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Loss
with respect to the Airframe, Lessee shall forthwith (and, in any event, within
30 days after such occurrence) give Lessor and the Indenture Trustee notice of
such Event of Loss and of its election to perform one of the following options
(it being agreed that, if Lessee shall not have given notice of such election
within such 30 days after such occurrence, Lessee shall be deemed to have
elected to perform the option set forth in the following clause (ii)):
(i) as promptly as practicable, and in any event on or before
the Business Day next preceding the 121st day next following the date
of occurrence of such Event of Loss, in replacement for the Airframe,
Lessee shall convey or cause to be conveyed to Lessor title to a
Replacement Airframe (together with the same number of Replacement
Engines as the Engines, if any, installed on the Airframe at the time
such Event of Loss occurred) to be leased to Lessee hereunder, such
Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines to be free and clear of
all Liens (other than Permitted Liens), to have a value and utility at
least equal to, and to be in as good operating condition as, the
Airframe and Engines, if any, so replaced (assuming such Airframe and
Engines were in the condition and repair required by the terms of this
Lease); provided that, if Lessee shall not per-
52
AF-2
57
form its obligation to effect such replacement under this clause (i)
during the period of time provided herein, then Lessee shall pay on
the fifteenth day next following the end of such period to Lessor, or,
in the case of Supplemental Rent, to the Persons entitled thereto, in
funds of the type specified in Section 3(d) hereof, the amounts
specified in clause (ii) below; or
(ii) on or before the earlier of 30 days following the date on
which insurance proceeds are received with respect to such Event of
Loss and the Business Day next preceding the 121st day next following
the date of occurrence of such Event of Loss or on the date specified
in the proviso to clause (i) above, if such proviso is applicable (the
"Loss Payment Date"), Lessee shall pay to Lessor or, in the case of
Supplemental Rent, to the Persons entitled thereto, in funds of the
type specified in Section 3(d), (A) the Stipulated Loss Value for the
Aircraft, determined as of the Loss Payment Date, plus (B) all
Supplemental Rent (including, without limitation, the Break Amount, if
any, on the Certificates) due and owing by Lessee to Lessor, the Owner
Participant, the Indenture Trustee and the Loan Participants,
hereunder or under any of the Operative Documents on such Loss Payment
Date, plus (C) if the Casualty Loss Determination Date with respect to
the Stipulated Loss Value is a Lease Period Date, the Basic Rent
installment due and payable on that date pursuant to Section 3(b) (it
being understood and agreed that Lessee shall not be required to pay
the portion, if any, of such Basic Rent installment designated in
Exhibit A-1 to the Rent Schedule as being payable in advance), plus
(D) all Basic Rent due and payable prior to the Casualty Loss
Determination Date and unpaid.
In the event of payment in full of the Stipulated Loss Value
for the Aircraft and all amounts payable pursuant to this Section 10, (1) the
obligation of Lessee to pay any Basic Rent under Section 3(b) on any Lease
Period Date occurring subsequent to the Casualty Loss Determination Date with
respect to which Stipulated Loss Value is determined shall terminate, (2) the
obligation of Lessee to pay Supplemental Rent (subject to Section 3(f), other
than payments of Supplemental Rent to be made by Lessee (x) surviving pursuant
to Section 10 of the Tax Indemnity Agreement or Section 7(d) of the
Participation
53
AF-2
58
Agreement, or (y) in respect of liabilities and obligations of Lessee which
have accrued under any of the Operative Documents but not been paid or which
are in dispute as of the date of such payment) shall terminate, (3) the Term
for the Aircraft shall end, (4) Lessor will transfer to Lessee, without
recourse or warranty (except as to Lessor's Liens), all Lessor's right, title
and interest in and to the Airframe and Engines (if any) with respect to which
such Event of Loss occurred, as well as all Lessor's right, title and interest
in and to any Engines constituting part of the Aircraft but not installed
thereon when such Event of Loss occurred, and (5) Lessor will assign to or as
directed by Lessee all claims of Lessor against third Persons relating to such
Airframe and Engines arising from such Event of Loss. Upon such transfer,
Lessor shall request the Indenture Trustee to execute and deliver to Lessee an
appropriate instrument releasing the Airframe and Engines with respect to which
title is transferred from the lien of the Trust Indenture and releasing the
Purchase Agreement and the Purchase Agreement Assignment from the assignment
and pledge thereof thereunder.
At the time of or prior to any replacement of the Airframe and
such Engines, if any, Lessee, at its own expense, will (A) furnish Lessor with
a warranty (as to title) bill of sale in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Lessor (which warranty shall except Permitted Liens) with
respect to the Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, together
with an assignment of any and all manufacturer's warranties applicable thereto
(to the extent such warranties may be so assigned by Lessee) in a form
substantially similar to the Form of Purchase Agreement Assignment attached as
Exhibit III to the Participation Agreement, (B) cause a Lease Supplement
substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, subjecting such Replacement
Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, to this Lease, and duly executed by
Lessee, to be delivered to Lessor for execution and, upon such execution, to be
filed for recordation pursuant to the Federal Aviation Act or, if necessary,
pursuant to the applicable laws of such jurisdiction other than the United
States of America in which such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines,
if any, are to be registered in accordance with Section 7(a), as the case may
be, (C) so long as the Trust Indenture shall not have been satisfied and
discharged, cause a Trust Agreement and Indenture Supplement substantially in
the form of Exhibit A to the Trust Indenture and other requisite documents or
instruments for
54
AF-2
59
such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, to be delivered to
Lessor and to the Indenture Trustee for execution and, upon such execution, to
be filed for recordation pursuant to the Federal Aviation Act or, if necessary,
pursuant to the applicable laws of such jurisdiction other than the United
States of America in which such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines,
if any, are to be registered in accordance with Section 7(a), as the case may
be, (D) so long as the Trust Indenture shall not have been satisfied and
discharged, cause a financing statement or statements with respect to the
Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, and other requisite
documents or instruments to be filed in such place or places as necessary in
order to perfect the security interest therein created by or pursuant to the
Trust Indenture, or, if necessary, pursuant to the applicable laws of the
jurisdiction in which such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if
any, are to be registered in accordance with Section 7(a), as the case may be,
(E) furnish Lessor, the Indenture Trustee and each Loan Participant with an
opinion of Lessee's counsel addressed to each (which may be Lessee's General
Counsel), to the effect that the bill of sale referred to in clause (A) above
constitutes an effective instrument for the conveyance of title to the
Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, to Lessor and to the
further effect that upon such conveyance such substituted property will be
leased hereunder and subjected to the lien of the Trust Indenture, (F) furnish
Lessor and the Indenture Trustee with a certificate of an independent aircraft
engineer or appraiser certifying that the Replacement Airframe and Replacement
Engines, if any, have a value and utility at least equal to, and are in as good
operating condition as, the Airframe and Engines, if any, so replaced assuming
such Airframe and Engines were in the condition and repair required by the
terms hereof immediately prior to the occurrence of such Event of Loss, (G)
furnish Lessor and the Indenture Trustee with (i) such evidence of compliance
with the insurance provisions of Section 11 with respect to such Replacement
Airframe and Replacement Engines as Lessor or the Indenture Trustee may
reasonably request and (ii) a certificate from a Responsible Officer of Lessee
certifying that at the time of such replacement there is no continuing Event of
Default, and (H) furnish Lessor, each Loan Participant and the Indenture
Trustee with an opinion of Lessee's counsel (which may be Lessee's General
Counsel) addressed to each, to the effect that the Owner Trustee, as Lessor
under the Lease, and the Indenture Trustee, as assignee of
55
AF-2
60
the Owner Trustee's rights under the Lease pursuant to the Indenture, would be
entitled to the benefits of Title 11 U.S.C. Section 1110 with respect to the
Replacement Airframe, provided that (i) such opinion need not be delivered to
the extent that, by reason of a change in law or in judicial or other
governmental interpretation thereof after the Delivery Date, the benefits of
such Section 1110 were not available to the Owner Trustee or the Indenture
Trustee with respect to the Aircraft immediately prior to such substitution and
(ii) such opinion may contain qualifications and assumptions of the tenor
contained in the opinion of Debevoise & Plimpton delivered pursuant to Section
4(J) of the Participation Agreement on the Delivery Date and (I) so long as the
Original Loan Participant is the holder of any Certificate, take such other
actions as the Original Loan Participant shall reasonably request in order that
title to such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, is duly and
properly vested in Lessor, leased hereunder and subjected to the lien of the
Trust Indenture to the same extent as the Airframe, Engine or Engines replaced
thereby. In the case of each Replacement Airframe and each Replacement Engine,
if any, conveyed to Lessor under this Section 10(a), promptly upon the
registration of the Replacement Aircraft and the recordation of the Lease
Supplement and the Trust Agreement and Indenture Supplement or other requisite
documents or instruments covering such Replacement Airframe and Replacement
Engines, if any, pursuant to the Federal Aviation Act (or pursuant to the
applicable laws of the jurisdiction in which such Replacement Airframe and
Replacement Engines, if any, are to be registered in accordance with Section
7(a)), Lessee will cause to be delivered to Lessor, the Indenture Trustee and
each Loan Participant an opinion of counsel to Lessee addressed to each as to
the due registration of such Replacement Aircraft, the due recordation of such
Lease Supplement and such Trust Agreement and Indenture Supplement or other
requisite documents or instruments and the validity and perfection of the
security interest in the Replacement Aircraft, Replacement Engines or
Replacement Engine, as the case may be, granted to the Indenture Trustee under
the Trust Indenture.
For all purposes hereof, upon passage of title thereto to
Lessor the Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, shall be
deemed part of the property leased hereunder, the Replacement Airframe shall be
deemed an "Airframe" as defined herein, and each such Replacement
56
AF-2
61
Engine shall be deemed an "Engine" as defined herein. No such replacement of
the Airframe or any Engines under the circumstances contemplated by the terms
of this Section 10(a) shall result in any reduction of Basic Rent. Upon such
passage of title, Lessor will transfer to Lessee, without recourse or warranty
(except as to Lessor's Liens), all Lessor's right, title and interest in and to
the replaced Airframe and Engines (if any) installed thereon at the time such
Event of Loss occurred, and upon such transfer, Lessor will request in writing
that the Indenture Trustee execute and deliver to Lessee an appropriate
instrument releasing such replaced Airframe and Engines (if any) installed
thereon at the time such Event of Loss occurred from the lien of the Indenture
and releasing the Purchase Agreement and the Purchase Agreement Assignment from
the assignment and pledge under the Indenture.
(b) Event of Loss with Respect to an Engine. Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Loss with respect to an Engine under circumstances in
which there has not occurred an Event of Loss with respect to the Airframe,
Lessee shall give Lessor prompt written notice thereof and shall, within 90
days after the occurrence of such Event of Loss, convey or cause to be conveyed
to Lessor, as replacement for the Engine with respect to which such Event of
Loss occurred, title to a Replacement Engine free and clear of all Liens (other
than Permitted Liens) and having a value and utility at least equal to, and
being in as good operating condition as, the Engine with respect to which such
Event of Loss occurred, assuming such Engine was of the value and utility and
in the condition and repair required by the terms hereof immediately prior to
the occurrence of such Event of Loss. Prior to or at the time of any such
conveyance, Lessee, at its own expense, will (i) furnish Lessor with a warranty
(as to title) bill of sale in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Lessor (which warranty shall except Permitted Liens) with respect to such
Replacement Engine, (ii) cause a Lease Supplement substantially in the form of
Exhibit A hereto, subjecting such Replacement Engine to this Lease, and duly
executed by Lessee, to be delivered to Lessor for execution and, upon such
execution, to be filed for recordation pursuant to the Federal Aviation Act,
or, if necessary, pursuant to the applicable laws of such jurisdiction other
than the United States of America in which the Aircraft is registered, (iii) so
long as the Trust Indenture shall not have been satisfied and discharged,
comply with the applicable
57
AF-2
62
provisions thereof and cause a Trust Agreement and Indenture Supplement
substantially in the form of Exhibit A to the Trust Indenture or other
requisite documents or instruments for such Replacement Engine to be delivered
to Lessor and to the Indenture Trustee for execution and, upon such execution,
to be filed for recordation pursuant to the Federal Aviation Act or, if
necessary, pursuant to the applicable laws of such jurisdiction other than the
United States of America in which the Aircraft is or is to be registered in
accordance with Section 7(a), as the case may be, (iv) furnish Lessor, the
Indenture Trustee and each Loan Participant with an opinion of Lessee's counsel
addressed to each (which may be Lessee's General Counsel) to the effect that
the bill of sale referred to in clause (i) above constitutes an effective
instrument for the conveyance of title to such Replacement Engine to Lessor and
to the further effect that upon such conveyance such substituted property will
be leased hereunder and subjected to the lien of the Trust Indenture, (v)
furnish Lessor and the Indenture Trustee with a certificate of an aircraft
engineer or appraiser (who may be an employee of Lessee) certifying that such
Replacement Engine has a value and utility at least equal to, and is in as good
operating condition as, the Engine so replaced assuming such Engine was in the
condition and repair required by the terms hereof immediately prior to the
occurrence of such Event of Loss, (vi) so long as the Trust Indenture shall not
have been satisfied and discharged, cause a financing statement or statements
with respect to the Replacement Engine or other requisite documents or
instruments to be filed in such place or places as necessary in order to
perfect the security interest therein created by or pursuant to the Trust
Indenture, or, if necessary, pursuant to the applicable laws of the
jurisdiction in which the Aircraft is or is to be registered in accordance with
Section 7(a), as the case may be, (vii) furnish Lessor and the Indenture
Trustee with such evidence of compliance with the insurance provisions of
Section 11 with respect to such Replacement Engine as Lessor or the Indenture
Trustee may reasonably request and (viii) so long as the Original Loan
Participant is the holder of any Certificate, take such other actions as the
Original Loan Participant shall reasonably request in order that title to such
Replacement Engine is duly and property vested in the Lessor, leased hereunder
and subjected to the lien of the Indenture to the same extent as the Engine
replaced thereby. In the case of any Replacement Engine conveyed
58
AF-2
63
to Lessor under this Section 10(b), promptly upon the recordation of the Lease
Supplement and the Trust Agreement and Indenture Supplement or other
requisite documents or instruments covering such Replacement Engine pursuant to
the Federal Aviation Act (or pursuant to the applicable laws of the
jurisdiction in which the Aircraft is registered in accordance with Section
7(a)), Lessee will cause to be delivered to Lessor, the Owner Participant, each
Loan Participant and the Indenture Trustee an opinion of counsel to Lessee
addressed to each as to the due recordation of such Lease Supplement and such
Trust Agreement and Indenture Supplement or other requisite documents or
instruments and the validity and perfection of the security interest in such
Replacement Engine granted to the Indenture Trustee under the Trust Indenture.
Upon full compliance by Lessee with the terms of this paragraph (b), Lessor
will transfer to Lessee, without recourse or warranty (except as to Lessor's
Liens), all of Lessor's right, title and interest in and to the Engine with
respect to which such Event of Loss occurred, and Lessor will assign to or as
directed by Lessee all claims of Lessor against third Persons relating to such
Engine arising from such Event of Loss. In addition, upon such transfer Lessor
shall request in writing that the Indenture Trustee execute and deliver to
Lessee an appropriate instrument releasing such Engine from the lien of the
Trust Indenture and releasing the Purchase Agreement and the Purchase Agreement
Assignment (in respect solely of such Engine) from the assignment and pledge
under the Trust Indenture. For all purposes hereof, each such Replacement
Engine shall, after such conveyance, be deemed part of the property leased
hereunder and shall be deemed an "Engine" as defined herein. No Event of Loss
with respect to an Engine under the circumstances contemplated by the terms of
this Section 10(b) shall result in any reduction in Basic Rent.
(c) Application of Payments from Governmental Authorities for
Requisition of Title or Use. Any payments (other than insurance proceeds the
application of which is provided for in Section 11) received at any time by
Lessor or by Lessee from any governmental authority or other Person with
respect to an Event of Loss resulting from the condemnation, confiscation,
theft or seizure of, or requisition of title to or use of, the Airframe or any
Engine, other than a requisition for use by any Government or by the government
of the country of registry of the
59
AF-2
64
Aircraft not constituting an Event of Loss, will be applied as follows:
(i) if such payments are received with respect to the Airframe
or the Airframe and the Engines or engines installed on the Airframe
that has been or is being replaced by Lessee pursuant to Section
10(a), such payments shall be paid over to, or retained by, Lessor and
upon completion of such replacement be paid over to, or retained by,
Lessee; provided that Lessee shall have fully performed the terms of
Section 10(a) with respect to the Event of Loss for which such
payments are made;
(ii) if such payments are received with respect to the Airframe
or the Airframe and the Engines or engines installed on the Airframe
that has not been and will not be replaced pursuant to Section 10(a),
such payments shall, after reimbursement of Lessor for costs and
expenses, be applied in reduction of Lessee's obligation to pay the
Stipulated Loss Value required to be paid by Lessee pursuant to
Section 10(a), 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 the balance, if any, of such payments
remaining thereafter shall be paid over to, and retained by, Lessee
and Lessor, as their interests may appear; and
(iii) if such payments are received with respect to an Engine
under circumstances contemplated by Section 10(b), so much of such
payments remaining after reimbursement of Lessor for costs and
expenses shall be paid over to, or retained by, Lessee; provided that
Lessee shall have fully performed the terms of Section 10(b) with
respect to the Event of Loss for which such payments are made.
(d) Requisition for Use by the Government of the Airframe and
the Engines Installed Thereon. In the event of the requisition for use by any
Government or by the government of the country of registry of the Aircraft
(including for this purpose any agency or instrumentality thereof), including,
without limitation, pursuant to the Civil Reserve Air Fleet Program referred to
in Section 7(b)(iv), of the Airframe and the Engines or engines installed on
the Airframe during the Term, Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor of such
requisition and all of Les-
60
AF-2
65
see's obligations under this Lease with respect to the Aircraft shall continue
to the same extent as if such requisition had not occurred. All payments
received by Lessor or Lessee from such Government or government for the use of
the Airframe and Engines or engines during the Term for the Aircraft shall be
paid over to, or retained by, Lessee. In the case of any requisition for use
by the government of the United States (or any agency or instrumentality
thereof whose obligations bear the full faith and credit of such government) of
the Airframe and Engines or engines installed on the Airframe that would extend
beyond the end of the Term, Lessee at its option may, by written notice to
Lessor given not more than 30 nor less than 10 days before the end of the Term,
elect to declare an Event of Loss with respect to the Airframe and Engines or
engines. Subject to the final paragraph of this Section 10(d), such Event of
Loss will be deemed to have occurred on the final day of the Term. If Lessee
does not so elect to declare an Event of Loss and (1) such requisition fully
terminates and (2) the Airframe and Engines or engines are returned to Lessee
before the first anniversary of the end of the Term, Lessee shall be obligated
to return the Airframe and the Engines or engines to Lessor pursuant to, and in
all other respects to comply with the provisions of, Section 5 as soon as
practicable after the Airframe and Engines or engines are returned to Lessee
unless Lessee shall have exercised its option to purchase the Aircraft pursuant
to Sections 9(e), 20(b) or 20(c). In addition, Lessee shall pay to Lessor at
monthly intervals (until the earlier of (i) the return of the Aircraft to
Lessor pursuant to Section 5 and (ii) the first anniversary of the end of the
Term), an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (A) the daily
equivalent of the lesser of (x) 50% of the average annual Basic Rent for the
Aircraft payable during the Term (excluding for this purpose the Interim
Period) and (y) the fair market rental value of the Aircraft for such period,
and (B) the amounts received by Lessor from such government for the use of the
Aircraft for such period. All payments received by Lessor or Lessee from such
government for the use of such Airframe and Engines or engines during the first
year after the end of the Term for the Aircraft shall be paid over to, or
retained by, Lessor unless Lessee shall have exercised its option to purchase
the Aircraft pursuant to Section 9(e), 20(b) or 20(c), in which event all such
payments received after such purchase shall be paid over to, or retained by,
Lessee.
61
AF-2
66
If an Event of Loss to the Aircraft shall have occurred as a
result of a requisition for use by the government of the United States of
America (or any instrumentality or agency thereof whose obligations bear the
full faith and credit of such government) that shall have extended more than
one year beyond the end of the Term, or if Lessee shall have elected in
accordance with the third sentence of this Section 10(d) to declare an Event of
Loss as a result of any such requisition that would extend beyond the end of
the Term, or if an Event of Loss to the Aircraft shall have occurred as a
result of a requisition for use by any other Government or government that
shall have extended beyond the end of the Term, Lessor (at the direction of the
Owner Participant) at its option may, by written notice to Lessee given not
more than 20 days after receiving notice of any such Event of Loss or election,
waive the occurrence of such Event of Loss. In the event that Lessor waives
the occurrence of an Event of Loss, Lessee shall, no later than the later of
(i) the date on which such Event of Default would have occurred and (ii) the
tenth day after Lessee shall have received such notice from Lessor, transfer to
Lessor all of Lessee's right, title and interest to the Airframe and any Engine
subject to such requisition under the agreement or agreements relating to such
requisition. Upon such transfer, (1) the obligation of Lessee to pay Basic
Rent shall terminate, (2) the obligation of Lessee to pay Supplemental Rent
(subject to Section 3(f), other than payments of Supplemental Rent to be made
by Lessee (x) surviving pursuant to Section 10 of the Tax Indemnity Agreement
or Section 7(d) of the Participation Agreement, (y) pursuant to clause (ii) of
the second sentence of Section 3(c) hereof, or (z) in respect of liabilities
and obligations of Lessee which have accrued under any of the Operative
Documents but not been paid or which are in dispute as of the date of such
transfer) shall terminate, (3) all other obligations of Lessee under the Lease,
including, without limitation, any obligation to return the Aircraft in
accordance with Section 5 thereof shall terminate and (4) the Term for the
Aircraft shall end. In addition, in the event that any Engine shall not be
subject to such requisition for use at the time of such transfer, Lessee shall
return such Engine to Lessor in accordance with Section 5 hereof.
(e) Requisition for Use by the Government of an Engine. In
the event of the requisition for use by any Government or by the government of
the country of registry
62
AF-2
67
of the Aircraft (including for this purpose any agency or instrumentality
thereof) of any Engine (but not the Airframe), Lessee will replace such Engine
hereunder 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, and any payments
received by Lessor or Lessee from such Government or government with respect to
such requisition shall be paid over to, or retained by, Lessee.
(f) Application of Payments During Existence of Event of
Default. Any amount referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 10(c),
Section 10(d) or Section 10(e) which is payable to Lessee shall not be paid to
Lessee, or if it has been previously paid directly to Lessee, shall not be
retained by Lessee, if at the time of such payment an Event of Default (or
event that with lapse of time would constitute an Event of Default under
Section 14(a), 14(g), 14(h) or 14(i)) shall have occurred and be continuing,
but shall be paid to and held by the Lessor as security for the obligations of
Lessee under this Lease and, subject to the Trust Indenture, applied against
Lessee's payment obligations hereunder when and as they become due and payable,
and at such time as there shall not be continuing any such Event of Default or
event, such amount shall be paid to Lessee to the extent not applied in
accordance with this sentence, provided that if any such amount has been so
held by Lessor as security for more than 90 days during which period (i) Lessor
shall not have been limited by operation of law or otherwise from exercising
remedies hereunder or (ii) Lessor shall not have commenced to exercise any
remedy available to it under Section 15, then such amount shall be paid to
Lessee to the extent not applied as provided above.
Section 11. Insurance. (a) Airline Liability Insurance.
Subject to the rights of Lessee to establish and maintain self-insurance with
respect to bodily injury and property damage liability insurance for aircraft
and engines (including the Aircraft and Engines) in the manner and to the
extent specified in the next sentence, Lessee will carry, or cause to be
carried, at no expense to Lessor, the Indenture Trustee, any Loan Participant
or the Owner Participant, airline liability insurance (including coverage for
bodily injury, contractual liability, passenger legal liability and property
damage liability (exclusive of manufacturer's product liability insurance))
with respect to the Aircraft (i) in amounts which are not
63
AF-2
68
less than the airline liability insurance applicable to similar aircraft and
engines which comprise Lessee's fleet on which Lessee carries insurance,
provided that such liability insurance shall not be less than the amount
certified to Lessor and the Indenture Trustee on the Delivery Date, (ii) of the
type usually carried by corporations engaged in the same or similar business,
similarly situated with Lessee, and owning or operating similar aircraft and
engines and covering risks of the kind customarily insured against by Lessee
(including, without limitation, war risk and allied perils insurance), and
(iii) which is maintained in effect with insurers of recognized responsibility.
Lessee may self-insure, by way of deductible or premium adjustment provisions
in insurance policies, the risks required to be insured against pursuant to the
preceding sentence, but in no case shall the self-insurance (including the
self-insurance permitted by Section 11(b)) with respect to all of the aircraft
and engines in Lessee's fleet (including, without limitation, the Aircraft)
exceed for any 12-month policy year the lesser of (x) 50% of the largest
replacement value of any single aircraft in Lessee's fleet or (y) 1-1/2% of the
average aggregate insurable value (for the preceding year) of all aircraft
(including, without limitation, the Aircraft) on which Lessee carries
insurance; provided that, in the event that there shall have occurred a
material adverse change in the financial condition of Lessee from such
condition as is reflected in the consolidated financial statements of Lessee at
December 31, 1982, then, upon not less than 30 days' written notice from Lessor
to Lessee, Lessee will, until Lessee's financial condition is on an overall
basis equivalent to its financial condition at December 31, 1982, reduce the
self-insurance permitted hereunder to such reasonable amount as Lessor may
require; provided, further, that a deductible per occurrence utilized to reduce
handling that, in the case of the Aircraft, is not in excess of the amount
customarily allowed as a deductible in the industry, shall be permitted in
addition to the above-mentioned self-insurance. Any policies of insurance
carried in accordance with this Section 11(a) and any policies taken out in
substitution or replacement for any of such policies (A) shall name Lessor, as
lessor of the Aircraft and in its individual capacity, the Indenture Trustee
and each Participant as additional insureds as their respective Interests may
appear (and, so long as the Owner Participant is a direct or indirect
subsidiary of American Telephone and Telegraph Company, shall name AT&T Capital
Corporation and American Telephone and Tele-
64
AF-2
69
graph Company, and all Affiliates of each, as additional insureds), (B) shall
provide that in respect of the respective Interests of Lessor, of the Indenture
Trustee and of each Participant in such policies the insurance shall not be
invalidated by any action or inaction of Lessee and shall insure Lessor's, the
Indenture Trustee's and such Participant's (and, if applicable, the Owner
Participant's Affiliates') Interests as they appear, regardless of any breach
or violation of any warranty, declaration or condition contained in such
policies by Lessee, (C) shall provide that, if such insurance is cancelled for
any reason whatever, or any substantial change is made in the policy which
affects the coverage certified hereunder to Lessor, the Indenture Trustee or
any Participant (or, if applicable, Affiliates of the Owner Participant), or if
such insurance is allowed to lapse for nonpayment of premium, such
cancellation, change or lapse shall not be effective as to Lessor, the
Indenture Trustee or such Participant (or, if applicable, any Affiliate of the
Owner Participant) for 30 days (seven days, or such other period as is
customarily obtainable in the industry, in the case of any war risk and allied
perils coverage) after receipt by Lessor, by the Indenture Trustee or by such
Participant, respectively, of written notice from such insurers of such
cancellation, change or lapse, (D) shall provide that neither Lessor, the
Indenture Trustee nor any Participant (or any Affiliate of the Owner
Participant) shall have any obligation or liability for premiums, commissions,
assessments or calls in connection with such insurance, (E) shall provide that
the insurers shall waive (i) any rights of set-off, counterclaim or any other
deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, which they may have against
Lessor, the Indenture Trustee or any Participant (or any Affiliate of the Owner
Participant) and (ii) any rights of subrogation against Lessor, the Indenture
Trustee or any Participant (or any Affiliate of the Owner Participant) to the
extent that Lessee has waived its rights by its agreements to indemnify any
such party pursuant to this Lease or the Participation Agreement; provided that
the exercise by such insurers of rights of subrogation derived from the rights
retained by Lessee shall not, in any way, delay payment of any claim that would
otherwise be payable by such insurers but for the existence of rights of
subrogation derived from rights retained by Lessee, (F) shall be primary
without right of contribution from any other insurance which may be carried by
Lessor, the Indenture Trustee or any Participant (or any Affiliate of the Owner
Participant) with respect to
65
AF-2
70
its Interests as such in the Aircraft and (G) shall expressly provide that all
of the provisions thereof, except the limits of liability, shall operate in the
same manner as if there were a separate policy covering each insured.
"Interests" as used in this Section 11(a) and Section 11(b) with respect to any
Person means the interests of such Person in its capacity as Lessor, Owner
Trustee (including in its individual capacity under the Participation
Agreement), Indenture Trustee or Participant (or, if applicable, as Affiliates
of the Owner Participant), as the case may be, in the leasing transaction
contemplated by this Lease, the Participation Agreement and the Indenture.
Lessee shall arrange for appropriate certification that the requirements of
this Section 11(a) have been met to be made to Lessor, the Indenture Trustee,
the Original Loan Participant and the Owner Participant (and the Indenture
Trustee may furnish such certificates to each Loan Participant) as soon as
practicable by each insurer or its authorized representative with respect
thereto, provided that all information contained therein shall be held
confidential by Lessor, the Indenture Trustee and each Participant and shall
not be furnished or disclosed by them to anyone other than (i) their Affiliates
and their officers, directors and employees and those of their Affiliates, (ii)
their bank examiners, auditors, accountants, agents, underwriters, lenders,
rating agencies, insurance brokers and legal counsel, (iii) as required by
applicable law, governmental regulation or judicial process, (iv) to such other
Persons as may be reasonably necessary to enforce Lessor's, the Owner
Participant's, the Indenture Trustee's or any Loan Participant's rights
hereunder, (v) to the extent such information is made public by Lessee
(including by filings with the Federal Aviation Administration or the
Securities and Exchange Commission) and (vi) any Person with whom any
Participant is in good faith conducting negotiations relating to the possible
transfer and sale of such Participant's Certificates (or participations
therein) or interest in the Aircraft, as the case may be, if such Person shall
have entered into an agreement similar to that contained in this Section 11(a)
whereby such Person agrees to hold such information confidential, and except as
may be required by an order of any court or administrative agency or by any
statute, rule, regulation or order of any governmental authority. In the case
of a sublease or contract with any Government in respect of the Aircraft or any
Engine, or in the case of any requisition for use of the Aircraft or any Engine
by any Government, a valid agreement, reasonably
66
AF-2
71
satisfactory to Lessor and the Owner Participant, to indemnify Lessee against
any of the risks which Lessee is required hereunder to insure against by such
Government shall be considered adequate insurance to the extent of the risks
and in the amounts that are the subject of any such agreement to indemnify.
(b) Insurance Against Loss or Damage to Aircraft. Subject to
the rights of Lessee to establish and maintain self-insurance with respect to
loss or damage to aircraft (including the Aircraft) in the manner and to the
extent specified in the next sentence, Lessee shall maintain, or cause to be
maintained, in effect with insurers of recognized responsibility, at no expense
to Lessor, the Indenture Trustee or any Participant, all-risk aircraft hull
insurance covering the Aircraft and all-risk coverage with respect to any
Engines or Parts while removed from the Aircraft (including, without
limitation, war risk and allied perils insurance if and to the extent the same
is maintained by Lessee or other United States air carriers as to which there
are in force certificates issued pursuant to Section 401 of the Federal
Aviation Act (or any successor provision that gives like authority) and which
are engaged in the same or similar business and are similarly situated with
Lessee with respect to similar aircraft owned or operated by Lessee or by such
United States air carriers, as the case may be, on the same routes) which is of
the type and in substantially the amount usually carried by corporations
engaged in the same or similar business and similarly situated with Lessee;
provided that (i) such insurance (including the permitted self-insurance) shall
at all times while the Aircraft is subject to this Lease be for an amount not
less than the Stipulated Loss Value for the Aircraft from time to time and (ii)
such insurance need not cover an Engine while attached to an airframe not
owned, leased or operated by Lessee. Lessee may self-insure, by way of
deductible or premium adjustment provisions in insurance policies, the risks
required to be insured against pursuant to the preceding sentence, but in no
case shall the self-insurance (including the self-insurance permitted by
Section 11(a)) with respect to all of the aircraft and engines in Lessee's
fleet (including, without limitation, the Aircraft) exceed for any 12-month
policy year the lesser of (i) 50% of the largest replacement value of any
single aircraft in Lessee's fleet or (ii) 1-1/2% of the average aggregate
insurable value (for the preceding year) of all aircraft (including, without
limitation, the Air-
67
AF-2
72
craft) on which Lessee carries insurance; provided that, in the event that
there shall have occurred a material adverse change in the financial condition
of Lessee from such condition as is reflected in the consolidated financial
statements of Lessee at December 31, 1982, then, upon not less than 30 days'
written notice from Lessor to Lessee, Lessee will, until Lessee's financial
condition is on an overall basis equivalent to its financial condition at
December 31, 1982, reduce the self-insurance permitted hereunder to such
reasonable amount as Lessor may require; provided, further, that a deductible
per occurrence utilized to reduce handling that, in the case of the Aircraft,
is not in excess of the amount customarily allowed as a deductible in the
industry, shall be permitted in addition to the above-mentioned self-insurance.
Any policies carried in accordance with this Section 11(b) and any policies
taken out in substitution or replacement for any such policies (A) shall
provide that any loss up to the amount of Stipulated Loss Value for any loss or
damage constituting an Event of Loss with respect to the Aircraft, and any loss
in excess of $7,000,000, up to the amount of Stipulated Loss Value, for any
loss or damage to the Aircraft (or Engines) not constituting an Event of Loss
with respect to the Aircraft, shall be paid to the Indenture Trustee as long as
the Trust Indenture shall not have been discharged pursuant to the terms and
conditions thereof, and thereafter to Lessor, unless, in each case, the insurer
shall have received notice that an Event of Default exists, in which case all
insurance proceeds up to Stipulated Loss Value shall be payable to the
Indenture Trustee or Lessor, as the case may be, (B) shall provide that in
respect of the respective Interests of Lessor, of the Indenture Trustee and of
each Participant in such policies the insurance shall not be invalidated by any
action or inaction of Lessee and shall insure Lessor's, the Indenture Trustee's
and such Participant's Interests, as they appear, regardless of any breach or
violation of any warranty, declaration or condition contained in such policies
by Lessee, (C) shall provide that, if such insurance is cancelled for any
reason whatever, or any material change is made in the policy which affects the
coverage certified hereunder to Lessor, the Indenture Trustee or any
Participant, or if such insurance is allowed to lapse for nonpayment of
premium, such cancellation, change or lapse shall not be effective as to
Lessor, the Indenture Trustee or such Participant for 30 days (seven days, or
such other period as may from time to time be customarily obtainable in the
industry, in the case of any war
68
AF-2
73
risk and allied perils coverage) after receipt by Lessor, the Indenture Trustee
or such Participant, respectively, of written notice from such insurers of such
cancellation, change or lapse, (D) shall be primary without right of
contribution from any other insurance which may be carried by Lessor, the
Indenture Trustee or any Participant with respect to its Interests as such in
the Aircraft and (E) shall provide that the insurers shall waive (i) any rights
of set-off, counterclaim or any other deduction, whether by attachment or
otherwise, which they may have against Lessor, the Indenture Trustee or any
Participant and (ii) any rights of subrogation against Lessor, the Indenture
Trustee and any Participant to the extent that Lessee has waived its rights by
its agreements to indemnify any such party pursuant to this Lease or the
Participation Agreement; provided that the exercise by such insurers of rights
of subrogation derived from rights retained by Lessee shall not, in any way,
delay payment of any claim that would otherwise be payable by such insurers but
for the existence of rights of subrogation derived from rights retained by
Lessee. Lessee shall arrange for appropriate certification that the
requirements of this Section 11(b) have been met to be made promptly to Lessor,
the Indenture Trustee, the Original Loan Participant and the Owner Participant
(and the Indenture Trustee shall furnish such certification to each Loan
Participant) by each insurer or its authorized representative with respect
thereto, provided that all information contained therein shall be held
confidential by Lessor, the Indenture Trustee and each Participant and shall
not be furnished or disclosed by them to anyone other than (i) their Affiliates
and their officers, directors and employees and those of their Affiliates, (ii)
their bank examiners, auditors, accountants, agents, underwriters, lenders,
rating agencies, insurance brokers and legal counsel, (iii) as required by
applicable law, governmental regulation or judicial process, (iv) to such other
Persons as may be reasonably necessary to enforce Lessor's, the Owner
Participant's or the Indenture Trustee's rights hereunder, (v) to the extent
such information is made public by Lessee (including by filings with the
Federal Aviation Administration or the Securities and Exchange Commission) and
(vi) any Person with whom any Participant is in good faith conducting
negotiations relating to the possible transfer and sale of such Participant's
Certificates (or participations therein) or interest in the Aircraft, as the
case may be, if such Person shall have entered into an agreement similar to
that contained in
69
AF-2
74
this Section 11(b) whereby such Person agrees to hold such information
confidential, and except as may be required by an order of any court or
administrative agency or by any statute, rule, regulation or order of any
governmental authority. In the case of a sublease or contract with any
Government in respect of the Aircraft or any Engine, or in the case of any
requisition for use of the Aircraft or any Engine by any Government, a valid
agreement, reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and the Owner Participant, to
indemnify Lessee against any of the risks which Lessee is required hereunder to
insure against by such Government in any amount up to the Stipulated Loss Value
of the Aircraft from time to time shall be considered adequate insurance to the
extent of the risks and in the amounts that are the subject of any such
agreement to indemnify.
As between Lessor and Lessee it is agreed that all insurance
payments received under policies required to be maintained by Lessee hereunder,
exclusive of any payments received in excess of the Stipulated Loss Value for
the Aircraft from such policies, as the result of the occurrence of an Event of
Loss with respect to the Airframe or an Engine will be applied as follows:
(x) if such payments are received with respect to the
Airframe or the Airframe and any Engines or engines installed on the
Airframe that has been or is being replaced by Lessee as contemplated
by Section 10(a), such payments shall be paid over to, or retained by,
Lessor, and upon completion of such replacement be paid over to, or
retained by, Lessee; provided that Lessee shall have fully performed
the terms of Section 10(a) with respect to the Event of Loss for which
such payments are made;
(y) if such payments are received with respect to the
Airframe or the Airframe and any Engines or engines installed thereon
that has not been and will not be replaced as contemplated by Section
10(a), so much of such payments remaining after reimbursement of
Lessor for costs and expenses as shall not exceed the Stipulated Loss
Value required to be paid by Lessee pursuant to Section 10(a) shall be
applied in reduction of Lessee's obligation to pay such Stipulated
Loss Value, 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
70
AF-2
75
Value, and the balance, if any, of such payment remaining thereafter
will be paid over to, or retained by, Lessee; and
(z) if such payments are received with respect to an Engine
under the circumstances contemplated by Section 10(b), so much of such
payments remaining after reimbursement of Lessor for costs and
expenses shall be paid over to, or retained by, Lessee; provided that
Lessee shall have fully performed the terms of Section 10(b) with
respect to the Event of Loss for which such payments are made.
As between Lessor and Lessee the insurance payment for any
loss or damage to the Aircraft in excess of the Stipulated Loss Value for the
Aircraft shall be paid to Lessee.
As between Lessor and Lessee the insurance payments for any
loss or damage to the Airframe or an Engine not constituting an Event of Loss
with respect to the Airframe or such Engine will be applied in payment (or to
reimburse Lessee) for repairs or for replacement property in accordance with
the terms of Sections 7 and 8, and any balance remaining after compliance with
such Sections with respect to such loss shall be paid to Lessee. Any amount
referred to in the preceding sentence or in clause (x), (y) or (z) of the
second preceding paragraph which is payable to Lessee shall not be paid to
Lessee or, if it has been previously paid directly to Lessee, shall not be
retained by Lessee, if at the time of such payment an Event of Default (or
event that with lapse of time would constitute an Event of Default under
Section 14(a), 14(g), 14(h) or 14(i)) shall have occurred and be continuing,
but shall be paid to and held by the Indenture Trustee, or if the Trust
Indenture shall have been terminated pursuant to the terms thereof, Lessor, as
security for the obligations of Lessee under this Lease, and may be applied
against Lessee's payment obligations hereunder when and as they become due and
payable, and at such time as there shall not be continuing any such Event of
Default or event, such amount shall be paid to Lessee, to the extent not
applied in accordance with this sentence, provided that if any such amount has
been so held by Lessor as security for more than 180 days during which period
(i) Lessor shall not have been limited by operation of law or otherwise from
exercising remedies hereunder and (ii) Lessor shall
71
AF-2
76
not have exercised any remedy available to it under Section 15, then such
amount shall be paid to Lessee.
(c) Reports, Etc. On or before the Delivery Date, and
annually upon renewal of Lessee's insurance coverage, Lessee will furnish to
Lessor, the Indenture Trustee, the Original Loan Participant and the Owner
Participant (and the Indenture Trustee shall furnish to each Loan Participant)
a report signed by a firm of independent aircraft insurance brokers appointed
by Lessee, stating the opinion of such firm that the insurance then carried and
maintained on the Aircraft complies with the terms hereof; provided that all
information contained in such report shall be held confidential by Lessor, the
Indenture Trustee and each Participant and shall not be furnished or disclosed
by them to anyone other than (i) their Affiliates and their officers, directors
and employees and those of their Affiliates, (ii) their bank examiners,
auditors, accountants, agents, underwriters, lenders, rating agencies,
insurance brokers and legal counsel, (iii) as required by applicable law,
governmental regulation or judicial process, (iv) to such other Persons as may
be reasonably necessary to enforce Lessor's, the Owner Participant's or the
Indenture Trustee's rights hereunder, (v) to the extent such information is
made public by Lessee (including by filings with the Federal Aviation
Administration or the Securities and Exchange Commission) and (vi) any Person
with whom any Participant is in good faith conducting negotiations relating to
the possible transfer and sale of such Participant's Certificates (or
participations therein) or interest in the Aircraft, as the case may be, if
such Person shall have entered into an agreement similar to that contained in
this Section 11(c) whereby such Person agrees to hold such information
confidential, and except as may be required by an order of any court or
administrative agency or by any statute, rule, regulation or order of any
governmental authority. Lessee will cause such firm to advise Lessor, the
Indenture Trustee, the Original Loan Participant and the Owner Participant, in
writing promptly of any default in the payment of any premium and of any other
act or omission on the part of Lessee of which such firm has knowledge and
which might invalidate or render unenforceable, in whole or in part, any
insurance on the Aircraft. Lessee will also cause such firm to advise Lessor,
the Indenture Trustee, the Original Loan Participant and the Owner Participant,
in writing as promptly as practicable after such firm acquires knowledge that
an interruption or
72
AF-2
77
reduction of any insurance carried and maintained on the Aircraft pursuant to
the provisions of this Section 11 will occur.
(d) Insurance for Own Account. Nothing in this Section 11
shall limit or prohibit the Owner Participant (either directly or in the name
of the Owner Trustee) or Lessee from obtaining insurance for its own account
with respect to the Airframe or any Engine and any proceeds payable thereunder
shall be payable as provided in the insurance policy relating thereto, provided
that (i) no such insurance may be obtained which would limit or otherwise
adversely affect the coverage or amounts payable under insurance required to be
maintained pursuant to this Section 11, it being understood that all salvage
rights to the Airframe or such Engine shall remain with Lessee's insurers at
all times, and (ii) the Owner Participant may obtain hull insurance on the
Aircraft only to the extent the procurement of such insurance does not have an
adverse effect on Lessee's ability or cost to obtain such insurance, except
that the limitation in the foregoing clause (i) on the Owner Participant's
right to obtain liability insurance shall not apply during any period in which
Lessee is providing a Government indemnity in lieu of the liability insurance
required by Section 11(a) and the limitations in clauses (i) and (ii) on the
Owner Participant's rights to obtain hull insurance shall not apply during any
period in which Lessee is providing a Government indemnity in lieu of the hull
insurance required by Section 11(b).
Section 12. Inspection. At all reasonable times during the
Term, but upon at least 5 days' prior written notice to Lessee, Lessor, the
Original Loan Participant or the Indenture Trustee or any of their respective
authorized representatives may at their own expense and risk conduct a visual
walk-around inspection of the Aircraft and any Engine (including a visual
walk-around inspection of the Aircraft during any regularly scheduled heavy
maintenance visit for the Aircraft conducted by Lessee during the Term) and may
inspect the books and records of Lessee relating thereto; provided that (a)
such representatives shall be fully insured to the reasonable satisfaction of
Lessee by Lessor, the Original Loan Participant or the Indenture Trustee, as
the case may be, with respect to any risks incurred in connection with any such
inspection, (b) any such inspection shall be subject to the safety, security
and workplace rules applicable at
73
AF-2
78
the location where such inspection is conducted and any applicable governmental
rules or regulations and (c) in the case of an inspection during a maintenance
visit, such inspection shall not in any respect interfere with the normal
conduct of such maintenance visit or extend the time required for such
maintenance visit. All information obtained in connection with any such
inspection shall be held confidential by Lessor, the Indenture Trustee and each
Participant and shall not be furnished or disclosed by them to anyone (it being
understood that each Loan Participant may disclose such information to any
other Loan Participant or to any holder of a participation in such Loan
Participant's Certificates) other than (i) their Affiliates and their officers,
directors and employees and those of their Affiliates, (ii) their bank
examiners, auditors, accountants, agents, legal counsel, underwriters, lenders,
rating agencies and authorized insurance brokers, (iii) as required by
applicable law, governmental regulation or judicial process, (iv) to such other
Persons as may be reasonably necessary to enforce Lessor's, the Owner
Participant's or the Indenture Trustee's rights hereunder, (v) to the extent
such information is made public by Lessee (including by filings with the
Federal Aviation Administration or the Securities and Exchange Commission) and
(vi) any Person with whom any Participant is in good faith conducting
negotiations relating to the possible transfer and sale of such Participant's
Certificates (or participations therein) or interest in the Aircraft, as the
case may be, if such Person shall have entered into an agreement similar to
that contained in this Section 12 whereby such Person agrees to hold such
information confidential, and except as may be required by an order of any
court or administrative agency or by any statute, rule, regulation or order of
any governmental authority or as may be necessary for the enforcement of this
Lease by Lessor or the Indenture Trustee. Lessee will, upon the request of
Lessor, the Original Loan Participant or the Indenture Trustee at any time,
notify Lessor, the Original Loan Participant or the Indenture Trustee, as the
case may be, of the time and location of the next scheduled heavy maintenance
visit to be conducted by Lessee in respect of the Aircraft during the Term;
provided that Lessee shall have the right in its sole discretion to reschedule,
or change the location of, any maintenance visit of which it shall have
notified Lessor, the Original Loan Participant or the Indenture Trustee
pursuant to this sentence, Lessee hereby agreeing to use reasonable efforts to
notify Lessor, the Original Loan
74
AF-2
79
Participant or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, of any such
rescheduling or change. None of Lessor, the Indenture Trustee or any
Participant shall have any duty to make any such inspection and shall not incur
any liability or obligation by reason of not making any such inspection. No
inspection pursuant to this Section 12 shall relieve Lessee of any of its
obligations under this Lease. No inspection pursuant to this Section 12 shall
interfere with the use, operation or maintenance of the Aircraft or the normal
conduct of Lessee's business, and Lessee shall not be required to undertake or
incur any additional liabilities in connection therewith.
Section 13. Assignment, Citizenship, Etc. Except as
otherwise provided in Section 7(b) or in the case of any requisition for use by
any Government referred to in Section 7(a), Lessee will not, without the prior
written consent of Lessor, assign any of its rights hereunder, except as
permitted by Section 13 of the Participation Agreement. Except as elsewhere
herein provided or as expressly permitted by the provisions of the
Participation Agreement, Lessor agrees that it will not assign or convey its
right, title and interest in and to this Lease or the Aircraft; provided,
however, that, in each case where so provided or permitted, the transferee
shall be domiciled in the United States, shall be a "citizen of the United
States" within the meaning of Section 101(16) of the Federal Aviation Act and
shall assume all of the obligations of Lessor under this Lease. To the extent
required to entitle the Owner Trustee as Lessor under this Lease to the
benefits of Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code, Lessee shall maintain in force
a certificate issued pursuant to Section 401 of the Federal Aviation Act or any
successor provision that gives like authority. The terms and provisions of
this Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Lessor and Lessee
and their respective permitted successors and assigns.
Section 14. Events of Default. The following events shall
constitute Events 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) and each such
Event of Default shall be deemed to exist and continue so long as, but only as
long as, it shall not have been remedied:
75
AF-2
80
(a) Lessee shall fail to make any payment of Basic Rent,
Break Amount, Stipulated Loss Value or Termination Value within 15
days after the same shall have become due or of any other amount of
Supplemental Rent within 15 days after written notice of such failure
by Lessor or the Indenture Trustee; or
(b) Lessee shall fail to carry and maintain insurance on or
with respect to the Aircraft in accordance with the provisions of
Section 11; provided that, in the case of insurance with respect to
which cancellation, change or lapse for nonpayment of premium shall
not be effective as to Lessor, the Indenture Trustee or any
Participant (or, if applicable, any Affiliate of the Owner
Participant) for 30 days (seven days, or such other period as may from
time to time be customarily obtainable in the industry, in the case of
any war risk and allied perils coverage) after receipt of notice by
Lessor, the Indenture Trustee or any Participant of such cancellation,
change or lapse, no such failure to carry and maintain insurance shall
constitute an Event of Default hereunder until the earlier of (i) the
date such failure shall have continued unremedied for a period of 20
days (five days in the case of any war risk and allied perils
coverage) after receipt by Lessor of the notice of cancellation,
change or lapse referred to in Section 11(a)(C) or 11(b)(C), or (ii)
such insurance not being in effect as to any of Lessor, the Indenture
Trustee and any Participant (or, if applicable, any Affiliate of the
Owner Participant); or
(c) Lessee shall operate the Aircraft at a time when public
liability insurance required by Section 11(a) shall not be in effect;
or
(d) Lessee shall fail to perform or observe any other
covenant, condition or agreement to be performed or observed by it
hereunder or under the Participation Agreement, any Lease Supplement,
the Bills of Sale or the Purchase Agreement Assignment, and such
failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days after
written notice thereof by Lessor or the Indenture Trustee; provided
that, if such failure is capable of being remedied, so long as Lessee
is diligently proceeding to remedy such failure (other than a failure
to perform or observe the
76
AF-2
81
provisions of the penultimate sentence of Section 13), no such failure
shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder for a period of up to
270 days; or
(e) any material representation or warranty made by Lessee in
this Lease or in the Participation Agreement, any Lease Supplement,
the Bills of Sale or the Purchase Agreement Assignment or in any
document furnished by Lessee pursuant hereto or thereto (other than in
the Tax Indemnity Agreement or any document furnished by Lessee
pursuant thereto) shall prove to have been incorrect in any material
respect at the time made, and such incorrectness shall continue to be
material and unremedied for a period of 30 days after written notice
thereof by Lessor or the Indenture Trustee; or
(f) Lessee shall consent to the appointment of a receiver,
trustee or liquidator of itself or of a substantial 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
(g) Lessee shall file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or a
voluntary petition or an answer seeking reorganization in a proceeding
under any bankruptcy laws (as now or hereafter in effect) or an answer
admitting the material allegations of a petition filed against Lessee
in any such proceeding, or Lessee shall by voluntary petition or
answer, consent to or seek relief under the provisions of any other
now existing or future bankruptcy or other similar law providing for
the reorganization or winding-up of corporations, or providing for an
agreement, composition, extension or adjustment with its creditors; or
(h) 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 sequestering any substantial part
of the property of Lessee, and any such order, judgment, or decree of
appointment or sequestration shall remain in force undismissed,
unstayed or unvacated for a period of 90 days after the date of entry
thereof; or
77
AF-2
82
(i) a petition against Lessee in a proceeding under the
Federal bankruptcy laws or other insolvency laws, as now or hereafter
in effect, shall be filed and shall not be withdrawn or dismissed
within 90 days thereafter, or, 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 90
days;
provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Lease, any failure of Lessee to perform or observe any covenant, condition, or
agreement herein shall not constitute an Event of Default if such failure is
caused solely by reason of an event referred to in the definition of "Event of
Loss" so long as Lessee is continuing to comply with the applicable terms of
Section 10.
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, at its option, declare this Lease to be in default by a written
notice to Lessee (provided that this Lease shall be deemed to have been
declared in default without the necessity of such written notice upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default described in paragraph (g), (h) or (i) of
Section 14 hereof); and at any time thereafter, so long as Lessee shall not
have remedied all outstanding Events of Default, Lessor may do one or more of
the following with respect to all or any part of the Airframe and any Engines
as Lessor in its sole discretion shall elect, to the extent permitted by, and
subject to compliance with any mandatory requirements of, applicable law then
in effect; provided that during any period when the Aircraft is subject to the
Civil Reserve Air Fleet Program in accordance with the provisions of Section
7(b) and in the possession of the United States government or an
instrumentality or agency thereof, Lessor shall not, on account of any Event of
Default, be entitled to do any of the following in such manner as to limit
Lessee's control under this Lease (or any sublessee's control under any
sublease permitted by the terms of this Lease) of any Airframe or any Engines,
unless at least 60 days' (or such lesser period as may then be applicable under
the Military Airlift Command Program
78
AF-2
83
of the United States Government) prior written notice of default hereunder
shall have been given by Lessor by registered or certified mail to Lessee (or
any sublessee) with a copy addressed to the Contracting Office Representative
for the Military Airlift Command of the United States Air Force under any
contract with Lessee (or any sublessee) relating to the Aircraft:
(a) cause Lessee, upon the written demand of Lessor and at
Lessee's expense, to return promptly, and Lessee shall return
promptly, all or such part of the Airframe or any Engine as Lessor may
so demand to Lessor or its order in the manner and condition required
by, and otherwise in accordance with all the provisions of, Section 5,
as if the Airframe or such Engine were being returned at the end of
the Term, or Lessor, at its option, may enter upon the premises where
all or any part of the Airframe or any Engine are located and take
immediate possession of and remove the same (together with any engine
which is not an Engine but which is installed on the Airframe, subject
to all of the rights of the owner, lessor, lienor or secured party of
such engine; provided that the Airframe with an engine (which is not
an Engine) installed thereon may be flown or returned only to a
location within the continental United States, and such engine shall
be held for the account of any such owner, lessor, lienor or secured
party or, if owned by Lessee, may, at the option of Lessor, be
exchanged with Lessee for an Engine in accordance with the provisions
of Section 5(b)) by summary proceedings or otherwise, all without
liability accruing to Lessor for or by reason of such entry or taking
of possession or removal, whether for the restoration of damage to
property caused by such taking or otherwise;
(b) sell all or any part of the Airframe and any Engine at
public or private sale, whether or not Lessor shall at the time have
possession thereof, as Lessor may determine, or otherwise dispose of,
hold, use, operate, lease to others or keep idle all or any part of
the Airframe or such Engine as Lessor, in its sole discretion, may
determine, all free and clear of any rights of Lessee except as
hereinafter set forth 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
79
AF-2
84
elects to exercise its rights under such paragraph (d) in lieu of its
rights under paragraph (c) below;
(c) whether or not Lessor shall have exercised, or shall
thereafter at any time exercise, any of its rights under paragraph (a)
or paragraph (b) above with respect to all or any part of the Airframe
or any Engine, Lessor, by written notice to Lessee specifying a
payment date (which date shall be deemed to be a "Termination Date"
for purposes of computing Termination Value) which shall be not
earlier than 30 days from the date of such notice, may demand that
Lessee pay to Lessor, and Lessee shall pay Lessor, on the payment date
specified in such notice, as liquidated damages for loss of a bargain
and not as a penalty (in lieu of the Basic Rent due for Lease Periods
commencing on or after the Lease Period Date next preceding the
payment date specified in such notice), if the Termination Date is a
Lease Period Date, the Basic Rent installment due and payable on that
date pursuant to Section 3(b) (it being understood and agreed that
Lessee shall not be required to pay the portion, if any, of such Basic
Rent installment designated in Exhibit A-1 to the Rent Schedule as
being payable in advance) or, if the Termination Date is not a Lease
Period Date and if Basic Rent is payable in arrears during the Lease
Period commencing on the Lease Period Date next preceding the
Termination Date, an amount equal to the Accrued Arrears Basic Rent
for the period from and including such Lease Period Date to but
excluding the Termination Date, less any credit to which Lessee shall
be entitled as hereinafter in this Section 15(c) provided, plus
whichever of the following amounts Lessor, in its sole discretion,
shall specify in such notice (together with interest, if any, on such
amount at the applicable Overdue Rate from the Termination Date to but
excluding the date of actual payment): (i) an amount equal to the
excess, if any, of the Termination Value for the Airframe or such
Engine or part thereof, computed as of the payment date specified in
such notice, over the aggregate fair market rental value (computed as
hereafter provided in this Section 15) of the Airframe or such Engine
or part thereof for the remainder of the Term, after discounting such
aggregate fair market rental value semi-annually (effective on the
Lease Period Dates)
80
AF-2
85
to present worth as of the payment date specified in such notice at
the Assumed Debt Rate; or (ii) an amount equal to the excess, if any,
of the Termination Value for the Airframe or such Engine or part
thereof computed as of the payment date specified in such notice, over
the fair market sales value (computed as hereafter provided in this
Section 15) of the Airframe or such Engine or part thereof as of the
payment date specified in such notice; provided that if the
Termination Date is not a Lease Period Date and if any portion of the
Basic Rent installment paid in respect of the Lease Period commencing
on the Lease Period Date next preceding the Termination Date is
designated in Exhibit A-1 to the Rent Schedule as having been payable
in advance, Lessee shall, if and so long as it shall have paid in full
all Rent otherwise payable by it hereunder or pursuant hereto, be
entitled to a credit against the amounts payable by it pursuant to
this Section 15(c) in an amount equal to the lesser of the Unearned
Advance Basic Rent as of the Termination Date and the amount, if any,
by which such aggregate fair market rental value or such fair market
sales value, as the case may be, exceeds such Termination Value; and
provided, further, that in the event that the amount calculated
pursuant to this sentence to be credited exceeds the amount payable by
Lessee pursuant to this Section 15(c) and any other amounts payable by
Lessee hereunder as a result of the applicable Event of Default or the
exercise of Lessor's remedies with respect thereto, the Owner
Participant will be obligated to rebate an amount equal to such excess
to Lessee;
(d) in the event Lessor, pursuant to paragraph (b) above,
shall have sold all or any part of the Airframe or any Engine, Lessor,
in lieu of exercising its rights under paragraph (c) above with
respect to the Airframe or such Engine or part thereof, may, if it
shall so elect, demand that Lessee pay Lessor, and Lessee shall pay to
Lessor, on the date of such sale (which date shall be deemed a
"Termination Date" for purposes of computing Termination Value), as
liquidated damages for loss of a bargain and not as a penalty (in lieu
of the Basic Rent due for Lease Periods commencing on or after the
Lease Period Date next preceding the date of such sale), if the
Termination Date is a Lease Period Date, the Basic Rent installment
due and payable on that date
81
AF-2
86
pursuant to Section 3(b) (it being understood and agreed that Lessee
shall not be required to pay the portion, if any, of such Basic Rent
installment designated in Exhibit A-1 to the Rent Schedule as being
payable in advance) or, if the Termination Date is not a Lease Period
Date and if Basic Rent is payable in arrears during the Lease Period
commencing on the Lease Period Date next preceding the Termination
Date, an amount equal to the Accrued Arrears Basic Rent for the period
from and including such Lease Period Date to but excluding the
Termination Date, less any credit to which Lessee shall be entitled as
hereinafter in this Section 15(d) provided, plus the amount of any
deficiency between the net proceeds of such sale and the Termination
Value for the Airframe or such Engine or part thereof, computed as of
the date of such sale; provided that if the Termination Date is not a
Lease Period Date and if any portion of the Basic Rent installment
paid in respect of the Lease Period commencing on the Lease Period
Date next preceding the Termination Date is designated in Exhibit A-1
to the Rent Schedule as having been payable in advance, Lessee shall,
if and so long as it shall have paid in full all Rent otherwise
payable by it hereunder or pursuant hereto, be entitled to a credit
against the amounts payable by it pursuant to this Section 15(d) in an
amount equal to the lesser of the Unearned Advance Basic Rent as of
the Termination Date and the amount, if any, by which such net
proceeds of such sale exceed such Termination Value; and provided,
further, that in the event that the amount calculated pursuant to this
sentence to be credited exceeds the amount payable by Lessee pursuant
to this Section 15(d) and any other amounts payable by Lessee
hereunder as a result of the applicable Event of Default or the
exercise of Lessor's remedies with respect thereto, the Owner
Participant will be obligated to rebate an amount equal to such excess
to Lessee; and
(e) Lessor may rescind this Lease as to the Airframe and any
or all Engines, or may exercise any other right or remedy which may be
available to it under applicable law or proceed by appropriate court
action or actions, either at law or in equity, to enforce the terms or
to recover damages for the breach hereof.
82
AF-2
87
In addition, Lessee shall be liable, except as otherwise
provided in paragraphs (c) and (d) above and without limiting the effect of the
penultimate sentence of Section 3(c), without duplication of any amounts
payable hereunder, for any and all unpaid Rent due hereunder before, after or
during the exercise of any of the foregoing remedies and for all legal fees and
other costs and expenses incurred by reason of the occurrence of any Event of
Default or the exercise of Lessor's remedies with respect thereto, including
all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the retaking or return of
the Airframe or any Engine in accordance with the terms of Section 5 or in
placing such Airframe or Engine in the condition and airworthiness required by
such Section; provided that, if Lessee returns or surrenders possession of all
or any part of the Airframe or any Engine in accordance with this Section 15
and Lessor does not within 365 days after the date of such return or surrender
exercise its rights under paragraph (c) or (d) above with respect to such
Airframe or Engine or part thereof, there shall be deducted from each payment
of Basic Rent becoming due after the expiration of such 365-day period an
amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the aggregate fair market
rental value (computed as hereafter provided in this Section 15) of such
Airframe or Engine or part thereof, for the remainder of the Term after the
expiration of such 365-day period (computed as of the date of such expiration),
by the number of Basic Rent installments remaining with respect to the Aircraft
after the expiration of such 365-day period to the end of the Term; and
provided, further, that Lessor and Lessee agree that, notwithstanding anything
to the contrary set forth in this Lease, the Trust Indenture, the Participation
Agreement, the Tax Indemnity Agreement or any other document or instrument
relating hereto or thereto, Lessee shall have no responsibility or liability
for any amounts payable to any Loan Participant in respect of the Break Amount,
if any, payable with respect to the Certificates as a result of (x) a purchase
of the Certificates pursuant to Section 2.13 of the Trust Indenture as a result
of an Indenture Default that does not also constitute an Event of Default or
(y) an Indenture Default that does not also constitute an Event of Default.
For purposes of paragraph (c) above and the preceding sentence, the "aggregate
fair market rental value" or the "fair market sales value" of the Airframe or
any Engine or any part thereof shall be as specified in an Independent
Appraisal. At any sale of the Airframe or any Engine or part thereof pursuant
to this Section 15, Lessor
83
AF-2
88
or any Participant may bid for and purchase such property. 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;
and 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
or all of such other remedies. No express or implied waiver by Lessor of any
Event of Default shall in any way be, or be construed to be, a waiver of any
future or subsequent Event of Default.
Section 16. Single Transaction. Lessor and Lessee agree that
the transactions contemplated by this Lease, the Participation Agreement, the
Tax Indemnity Agreement, the other Operative Documents and the Rent Schedule
are intended to and shall be construed to constitute one transaction. Lessee
and Lessor hereby acknowledge that this Lease is a "lease" for purposes of
Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code. So long as said Section 1110, or any
successor or comparable provision affording protection to lessors of aircraft
from the automatic stay under the Bankruptcy Code (then in effect) is in
effect, Lessee hereby agrees that it will not, in connection with any
bankruptcy proceeding involving Lessee, take a position in the United States
Bankruptcy Court that is inconsistent with Lessor's rights under said Section
1110 or said successor or comparable provision.
Section 17. Further Assurances; Financial Information.
Forthwith upon the execution and delivery of each Lease Supplement and Trust
Agreement and Indenture Supplement, Lessee will cause such Lease Supplement and
Trust Agreement and Indenture Supplement (and, in the case of the initial Lease
Supplement and Trust Agreement and Indenture Supplement with respect to the
Aircraft, this Lease, the Trust Indenture and the Trust Agreement) to be duly
filed and recorded in accordance with the Federal Aviation Act or the
applicable government of registry of the Aircraft if the Aircraft has been
registered in another jurisdiction pursuant to Section 7(a). In addition, each
of Lessor and Lessee will promptly and duly execute and deliver to the other
party hereto such further documents and assurances and take such further action
as such other party may from time to time reasonably request in order
effectively to carry out the intent and purpose of this Lease, including,
without limitation, if requested
84
AF-2
89
by Lessor, the execution and delivery of supplements or amendments hereto or,
in the case of Lessor, to the Trust Indenture, in recordable form, subjecting
to this Lease and, in the case of Lessor, to the Trust Indenture, any
Replacement Airframe or Replacement Engine and the recording or filing of
counterparts hereof or thereof, in accordance with the laws of such
jurisdictions as Lessor may from time to time deem advisable; provided that
this sentence is not intended to impose upon Lessee any additional liabilities
not otherwise contemplated by this Lease and the Participation Agreement.
Lessee also agrees to furnish Lessor, the Owner Participant, the Original Loan
Participant and the Indenture Trustee (i) within 60 days after the end of each
of the first three quarterly fiscal periods in each fiscal year of Lessee, a
consolidated balance sheet of Lessee and its consolidated subsidiaries prepared
by it as of the close of such period, together with the related consolidated
statements of income and cash flows for such period, (ii) within 120 days after
the close of each fiscal year of Lessee, a consolidated balance sheet of Lessee
and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the close of such fiscal year, together
with the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows for such
fiscal year, as certified by independent public accountants, (iii) within 120
days after the close of each fiscal year of Lessee, a certificate of Lessee,
signed by a Responsible Officer of Lessee and addressed to Lessor, the
Indenture Trustee, the Original Loan Participant and the Owner Participant, to
the effect that the signer has reviewed the relevant terms of this Lease and
the Participation Agreement and has made, or caused to be made under his
supervision, a review of the transactions and condition of Lessee during the
accounting period covered by the financial statements referred to in clause
(ii) above, and that such review has not disclosed the existence during such
accounting period, nor does the signer have knowledge of the existence as at
the date of such certificate, of any condition or event which constitutes an
Event of Default or which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would
constitute 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
Lessee has taken or is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto, and
(iv) from time to time such other non-confidential information as Lessor or the
Indenture Trustee may reasonably request.

Prior to the discharge of the lien of the Trust Indenture, Lessee shall furnish
the Indenture Trustee directly with a copy of each report, notice, request,
demand, certificate, financial statement or other instrument or document
furnished to Lessor hereunder.
Section 19. No Setoff, Counterclaim, Etc. This Lease is a
net lease and it is intended that Lessee shall pay all costs and expenses of
every character whether seen or unforeseen, ordinary or extraordinary, or
structural or nonstructural in connection with the use, operation, maintenance,
repair and reconstruction of the Airframe and each Engine by Lessee, including
the costs and expenses particularly set forth in this Lease. Lessee's
obligation to pay all Rent payable hereunder shall, subject to Section 3(f) and
the penultimate sentence of Section 3(c), be
86
AF-2
91
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstances,
including, without limitation, (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment,
defense or other right which Lessee may have against Lessor, any Participant,
the Indenture Trustee or anyone else for any reason whatsoever, (ii) any defect
in the title, airworthiness, condition, design, operation or fitness for use
of, or any damage to or loss or destruction of, the Aircraft, or any
interruption or cessation in or prohibition of the use or possession thereof by
Lessee for any reason whatsoever, (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy,
reorganization or similar proceedings by or against Lessee or any other Person
or (iv) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not
unforeseen or similar to any of the foregoing. If for any reason whatsoever
this Lease shall be terminated in whole or in part by operation of law or
otherwise, except as specifically provided herein, Lessee nonetheless agrees,
subject to Section 3(f), to pay to Lessor an amount equal to each Basic Rent
and Supplemental Rent payment under Section 3 at the time such payment would
have become due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof had this Lease
not been terminated in whole or in part. 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. Each payment of Rent made by Lessee shall be final as to
Lessor and Lessee, and Lessee will not seek to recover all or any part of any
such payment of Rent from Lessor or from the Indenture Trustee for any reason
whatsoever; provided that nothing in this sentence shall be construed to modify
or limit in any way Lessee's rights under Section 3(f) and the penultimate
sentence of Section 3(c) or its rights to rebate under Section 9(b), 9(d),
15(c) or 15(d).
Section 20. Renewal Options; Purchase Options. (a) Renewal
Options. Lessee shall have the right to extend this Lease with respect to the
Aircraft for up to five additional periods of one year each (each such period
being hereinafter referred to as a "Renewal Term"), each commencing at the end
of the Term or a Renewal Term. Such option to renew shall be exercised upon
irrevocable written notice from Lessee to Lessor given not less than 120 days
prior to the commencement of the first day of each Renewal Term and if no Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on such date, then this Lease
87
AF-2
92
shall be extended for the additional period of such Renewal Term on the same
conditions provided for herein, and upon such extension, the word "Term"
whenever used herein shall be deemed to refer, unless the context otherwise
requires, to such Renewal Term; provided that the rental payable during such
Renewal Term shall be at a rental rate equal to (i) in the case of the first
Renewal Term the lesser of (x) the Renewal Term Rate and (y) the fair market
rental value for the Aircraft determined within 90 days after such election by
mutual agreement of Lessor and Lessee or, if they shall be unable to agree, by
an Independent Appraisal, and (ii) in the case of any Renewal Term thereafter,
the fair market rental value of the Aircraft determined within 90 days after
such election by mutual agreement of Lessor and Lessee or, if they shall be
unable to agree, by an Independent Appraisal; and provided, further, that the
provisions of Section 9 shall not be applicable during any Renewal Term. The
amounts which are payable during any such Renewal Term in respect of
Termination Value as used in Section 15 and Stipulated Loss Value with respect
to the Aircraft shall be determined on the basis of the fair market sales value
of the Aircraft as of the commencement of such Renewal Term, amortized on a
straight-line basis over such Renewal Term to the fair market sales value of
the Aircraft as of the expiration of such Renewal Term, as such fair market
sales value in each case is determined prior to the commencement of such
Renewal Term by mutual agreement of Lessor and Lessee or, if they shall be
unable to agree, as determined by an Independent Appraisal.
(b) Special Purchase Option. On [July 9, 2012], or, if such
date is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (the "Special
Purchase Option Date"), Lessee shall have the right, at its option, to purchase
the Aircraft. Such option to purchase the Aircraft shall be exercised
irrevocably upon written notice from Lessee to Lessor given not less than 120
days prior to the Special Purchase Option Date. In the event that Lessee shall
have so elected to purchase the Aircraft, on the Special Purchase Option Date,
(x) Lessee shall pay the Basic Rent installment due on the Special Purchase
Option Date (it being understood and agreed that Lessee shall not be required
to pay the portion, if any, of such Basic Rent installment designated in
Exhibit A-1 to the Rent Schedule as being payable in advance), and at its
option shall either (A) pay to Lessor, in funds of the type specified in
Section 3(d), (1) an amount determined by multiplying
88
AF-2
93
Lessor's Cost for the Aircraft by the Special Purchase Price Percentage (the
"Special Purchase Price"), plus (2) all Supplemental Rent (including, without
limitation, the Break Amount, if any, on the Certificates) due and owing on
such Special Purchase Option Date, plus (3) all Basic Rent due prior to and
unpaid on such Special Purchase Option Date, or (B) assume all of the rights
and obligations of the Owner Trustee under the Trust Indenture in respect of
the Certificates (including, without limitation, any scheduled payment of
principal of or accrued interest on the Certificates due and payable on the
Special Purchase Option Date but only to the extent that any Basic Rent
installment payable by Lessee pursuant to clause (x) above or previously paid
pursuant to this Lease does not cover such scheduled payment of principal or
accrued interest on the Certificates and excluding any obligations or
liabilities of the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity incurred on or
prior to the Special Purchase Option Date, which obligations and liabilities
shall remain the sole responsibility of the Owner Trustee in its individual
capacity) in accordance with Section 2.16 of the Trust Indenture and
simultaneously shall pay to Lessor, in funds of the type specified in Section
3(d), an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Special Purchase Price over
an amount equal to the sum of the principal of, and any accrued and unpaid
interest on (except that such unpaid interest, for purposes of this Section
20(b), shall be deemed to have accrued at the Assumed Debt Rate), the
outstanding Certificates on such Special Purchase Option Date, after taking
into account any payments of principal or interest made in respect of the
outstanding Certificates on such Special Purchase Option Date, and (y) Lessor
will transfer to Lessee, without recourse or warranty (except as to Lessor's
Liens), all of Lessor's right, title and interest in and to the Aircraft and,
if Lessee shall not have assumed the rights and obligations of the Owner
Trustee under the Trust Indenture in respect of the Certificates as provided
for above, Lessor will request the Indenture Trustee to execute and deliver to
Lessee an appropriate instrument releasing the Airframe and Engines with
respect to which title is transferred from the Lien of the Trust Indenture and
releasing the Purchase Agreement and the Purchase Agreement Assignment from the
assignment and pledge thereunder.
89
AF-2
94
(c) Purchase Option. Lessee shall have the right, at its
option, at the expiration of the Term or any Renewal Term, to elect to purchase
the Aircraft at a price equal to the fair market sales value of the Aircraft,
as determined as provided below. Such option to purchase shall be exercised
irrevocably upon written notice from Lessee to Lessor given not less than 120
days prior to the last day of the Term or any Renewal Term, as the case may be.
If Lessee shall have so elected to purchase the Aircraft, Lessor shall transfer
without recourse or warranty (except as to Lessor's Liens) the Aircraft to
Lessee, against payment by Lessee of the applicable purchase price and any
other amounts due hereunder in immediately available funds. In order to enable
Lessee to determine whether it wishes to exercise such election to purchase,
the fair market sales value for the Aircraft shall, at Lessee's request made in
sufficient time to permit such determination, be determined not less than 150
days prior to the end of the Term or any Renewal Term by mutual agreement of
Lessor and Lessee or, if they shall be unable to agree, by an Independent
Appraisal.
Section 21. Successor Owner Trustee. Lessee agrees that, in
the case of the appointment of any successor Owner Trustee pursuant to the
terms of the Trust Agreement and Section 9(d) of the Participation Agreement,
such successor Owner Trustee shall succeed to all the rights, powers and title
of Lessor hereunder and shall be deemed to be Lessor of the Aircraft for all
purposes without in any way altering the terms of this Lease or Lessee's
obligations hereunder. Lessee further agrees that in the case of the
appointment of any additional trustee to act as co-trustee or as a separate
trustee pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement and Section 9(d) of the
Participation Agreement, such additional trustee shall acquire such rights,
power and title of Lessor hereunder as are specified in the instruments
appointing such additional trustee, without in any way altering the terms of
this Lease or Lessee's obligations hereunder. One such appointment and
designation of a successor or additional Owner Trustee shall not exhaust the
right to appoint and designate further successor or additional Owner Trustees
pursuant to the Trust Agreement and Section 9(d) of the Participation
Agreement, but such right may be exercised repeatedly as long as this Lease
shall be in effect.
90
AF-2
95
Section 22. Security for Lessor's Obligation to Loan
Participants. In order to secure the indebtedness evidenced by the
Certificates, Lessor has agreed in the Trust Indenture, among other things, to
assign to the Indenture Trustee this Lease and the Lease Supplements and to
mortgage in favor of the Indenture Trustee all of Lessor's right, title and
interest in and to the Aircraft, subject to the reservations and conditions
therein set forth. Lessee hereby consents to such assignment and to the
creation of such mortgage and security interest and acknowledges receipt of
copies of the Trust Indenture and the Trust Agreement and Indenture Supplement,
it being understood that such consent shall not affect any requirement or the
absence of any requirement for any consent under any other circumstances.
Until the lien of the Trust Indenture has been released, (a) Lessee shall make
all payments of Rent and all other amounts payable hereunder (in each case,
other than Excepted Property) to the Indenture Trustee as provided in Section
3(d) and the right of the Indenture Trustee to receive such payment shall,
subject to Section 3(f), not, without limiting the provisions of Section 19
hereof, be subject to any defense, counterclaim, setoff or other right or claim
of any kind which Lessee may be able to assert against Lessor (in its
individual or trust capacity), the Indenture Trustee (in its individual or
trust capacity), any Participant or any other Person in any action brought by
any thereof on this Lease, (b) all rights of Lessor with respect to this Lease,
the Aircraft, the Airframe or any Engine or any Part thereof, to the extent set
forth in and subject in each case to the exceptions set forth in the Trust
Indenture, shall be exercisable by the Indenture Trustee and (c) all documents,
notices, certificates and opinions of counsel sent by Lessee to the Owner
Trustee will also be sent to the Indenture Trustee. To the extent, if any,
that this Lease Agreement constitutes chattel paper (as such term is defined in
the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any applicable jurisdiction), no
security interest in this Lease may be created through the transfer or
possession of any counterpart hereof other than the original counterpart, which
shall be identified as the counterpart containing the receipt therefor executed
by the Indenture Trustee on the signature page thereof.
91
AF-2
96
Section 23. Lessor's Right to Perform for Lessee. If Lessee
fails to make any payment of Rent required to be made by it hereunder or fails
to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, Lessor may,
on behalf of Lessee and upon prior notice to Lessee, itself make such payment
or undertake such performance or compliance. The amount of any such payment
and the amount of the reasonable expenses of Lessor incurred in connection with
such payment, performance or compliance together with interest thereon, at the
Overdue Rate, shall be deemed Supplemental Rent, payable by Lessee upon demand.
Section 24. Maintenance of Certain Engines. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, an aircraft engine which is not an
Engine, but which is installed on the Airframe, shall be maintained in
accordance with Section 7(a).
Section 25. Investment of Security Funds; Miscellaneous. Any
moneys required to be paid to or retained by Lessor which are not required to
be paid to Lessee pursuant to Section 10(f) or 11(b) solely because an Event of
Default hereunder (or event that with lapse of time would constitute an Event
of Default under Section 14(a), 14(g), 14(h) or 14(i)) shall have occurred, or
which are required to be paid to Lessee pursuant to Section 10(c) or 11(b)
after completion of a replacement to be made pursuant to Section 10(a) shall,
until paid to Lessee as provided in Section 10 or 11 or applied as provided
herein or in the Trust Agreement and Trust Indenture, be invested in Permitted
Investments by Lessor (unless the Trust Indenture shall not have been
discharged, in which case, by the Indenture Trustee as provided in Section 3.07
of the Trust Indenture) from time to time as directed in writing by Lessee.
There shall, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred or be
continuing, be promptly remitted to Lessee as a rebate of Rent any gain
(including interest received) realized as the result of any such investment
(net of any fees, commissions and other expenses, if any, incurred in
connection with such investment) and Lessee will promptly pay to Lessor or the
Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, on demand, as Supplemental Rent the
amount of any loss realized as the result of any such investment (together with
any fees, commissions and other expenses, if any, incurred in connection with
such investment), such amount to be disposed of in accordance with the terms of
the Trust Agreement and the Trust Indenture.

AF-2
97
Section 26. Concerning the Lessor. Wilmington Trust Company
is entering into this Lease Agreement solely in its capacity as Owner Trustee
under the Trust Agreement and not in its individual capacity (except as
expressly stated herein) and in no case shall Wilmington Trust Company (or any
entity acting as successor Owner Trustee under the Trust Agreement) be
personally liable for or on account of any of the statements, representations,
warranties, covenants or obligations stated to be those of Lessor hereunder;
provided, however, that Wilmington Trust Company (or any such successor Owner
Trustee) shall be personally liable hereunder for its own gross negligence or
willful misconduct or for its breach of its covenants, representations and
warranties contained herein, to the extent covenanted or made in its individual
capacity.
Section 27. Sublessee's Performance and Rights. Any
obligation imposed on Lessee in this Lease shall require only that Lessee
perform or cause to be performed such obligation, even if stated herein as a
direct obligation, and the performance of any such obligation by any permitted
assignee, sublessee or transferee under an assignment, sublease or transfer
agreement then in effect shall constitute performance by Lessee and to the
extent of such performance discharge such obligation by Lessee. Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, any right granted to Lessee in this Lease
shall grant Lessee the right to exercise such right or permit such right to be
exercised by any such assignee, sublessee or transferee; provided that no such
assignee, sublessee or transferee shall be permitted to exercise the
self-insurance rights of Lessee set forth in Section 11. The inclusion of
specific references to obligations or rights of any such assignee, sublessee or
transferee in certain provisions of this Lease shall not in any way prevent or
diminish the application of the provisions of the two sentences immediately
preceding with respect to obligations or rights in respect of which specific
reference to any such assignee, sublessee or transferee has not been made in
this Lease.
Section 28. 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
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any
such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate
or render unenforceable such
93
AF-2
98
provision in any other jurisdiction. This Lease may be executed by the parties
hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered,
subject to Section 22, shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall
together constitute but one and the same instrument. To the extent permitted
by applicable law, Lessee hereby waives any provision of law which renders any
provision prohibited or unenforceable in any respect. Neither this Lease nor
any of the terms hereof may be terminated, amended, supplemented, waived or
modified orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party
against which the enforcement of the termination, amendment, supplement, waiver
or modification is sought and no provision referring to the Owner Participant
or requiring the consent or participation of or notice to the Owner Participant
may be waived, modified, supplemented, terminated or amended without the
express written consent of the Owner Participant. This Lease shall constitute
an agreement of lease, and nothing herein shall be construed as conveying to
Lessee any right, title or interest in the Aircraft except as a lessee only.
To the extent consistent with the provisions of Title 11 U.S.C. Section 1110,
or any analogous section of the Federal bankruptcy laws, as amended from time
to time, it is hereby expressly agreed that, notwithstanding any other
provisions of the Federal bankruptcy laws, as amended from time to time, the
title of Lessor to the Aircraft and any right of Lessor to take possession of
the Aircraft in compliance with the provisions of this Lease shall not be
affected by the provisions of the Federal bankruptcy laws, as amended from time
to time. The section and paragraph headings in this Lease and the table of
contents are for convenience of reference only and shall not modify, define,
expand or limit any of the terms or provisions hereof and all references herein
to numbered sections, unless otherwise indicated, are to sections of this
Lease.
THIS LEASE AGREEMENT HAS BEEN DELIVERED IN THE STATE OF 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.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Lessor and Lessee have each caused this
Lease Agreement to be duly executed as of the day and year first above written.

Exhibit A
AF-2
101

Lease Agreement, and Lessee hereby accepts and leases from Lessor under the
Lease Agreement, the following described Boeing 767-323ER Aircraft which
Aircraft as of the date hereof consists of the following components:

airworthy, in good working order and repair and without defect or inherent vice
in title, condition, design, operation or fitness for use, or suitability for a

whatsoever, in each case by delivering to Lessor a written notice of
termination specifying a proposed date of termination (the
"Termination Date") which shall be a Business Day occurring not
earlier than 90 days after the date of such notice, and, if the
Termination Date is a Special Termination Date, whether or not Lessee
is thereby electing to purchase the Aircraft on such Special
Termination Date as provided in Section 9(e). The termination of this
Lease shall, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
Section 9, be effective on (i) if Lessee has not elected to purchase
the Aircraft as provided in Section 9(e) and Lessor has elected to
sell the Aircraft, as provided below, the date of sale of the
Aircraft, if any, referred to in Section 9(b), (ii) if Lessee has not
elected to purchase the Aircraft as provided in Section 9(e) and
Lessor has elected to retain the Aircraft as provided in Section 9(d),
the date of termination referred to in Section 9(d), or (iii) if
Lessee has elected to purchase the Aircraft as provided in Section
9(e), the date of purchase referred to in Section 9(e). Where Lessee
has not elected to purchase the Aircraft as provided for in Section
9(e), Lessor shall give Lessee irrevocable notice of its election to
sell or retain the Aircraft no later than 45 days after Lessor
receives the notice from Lessee referred to in the first sentence of
this Section 9(a). In the event Lessor shall fail to give notice
pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, notice of its election
to sell the Aircraft shall be deemed to have been given as of such
forty-fifth day. Unless Lessor shall have given to Lessee a timely
notice of its election to retain the Aircraft as provided in Section
9(d), Lessee (1) shall withdraw such termination notice on the
Termination Contract Date if the Person who shall have submitted the
highest cash bid notified by Lessee to Lessor or by Lessor or the
Owner Participant to Lessee pursuant to Section 9(b) prior to the
Termination Contract Date (or, with the consent of Lessor, another
person who shall have submitted a bid for the purchase of the
Aircraft, acceptable to Lessor and Lessee) shall not have entered into
a binding contract of sale on or prior to such Termination Contract
Date reasonably acceptable to the Owner Participant providing for the
sale by Lessor without recourse or warranty (except as to Lessor's
Liens) for cash of the Airframe and the Engines installed thereon to
such Person (the Contract Purchase") (Lessor hereby agreeing, subject
to Les-
12
Series AB
15
sor's right to retain the Aircraft, promptly to execute and deliver
any such contract of sale in the form thereof furnished by Lessee for
execution and delivery and Lessee hereby agreeing to consult with the
Owner Participant regarding the terms of such contract of sale and to
submit the execution form thereof to the Owner Participant a
reasonable period of time prior to the Termination Contract Date) and
(2) may withdraw the termination notice referred to above at any time
on or prior to the third Business Day prior to the Termination
Contract Date, whereupon this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect. In the event Lessee withdraws, on or after the third Business
Day prior to the Termination Contract Date, a notice of termination
given pursuant to this Section 9(a) or such notice is deemed withdrawn
pursuant to the final sentence of Section 9(b), Lessee will reimburse
Lessor and the Owner Participant for any reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by them in connection with the proposed sale, except
Lessee shall not be obligated to reimburse Lessor or the Owner
Participant for any out-of-pocket expenses to the extent Lessor shall
have failed to comply with its obligations under this Section 9.
Lessee shall not be entitled to exercise its right of termination
provided for in this Section 9(a) more than four times during the Term
(not including for purposes of this sentence any exercise by Lessee of
such right of termination immediately following a failure of this
Lease to be terminated by reason of Lessor's failure to comply with
its obligations under this Section 9).
(b) Sale of Aircraft. If Lessee has not elected to purchase
the Aircraft as provided in Section 9(e) and Lessor has elected or is
deemed to have elected to sell the Aircraft pursuant to Section 9(a),
Lessee will have the option of acting as non-exclusive agent for
Lessor to obtain bids for the cash purchase on or prior to the
Termination Date of the Aircraft. Lessor agrees to pay Lessee a
commercially reasonable brokerage fee based on the then current
industry practice in the event that Lessee locates the Person who
purchases the Aircraft pursuant to this Section 9(b). If Lessee acts
as such agent, no later than ten Business Days prior to the
Termination Contract Date, Lessee shall certify to Lessor in writing
the amount and terms of each cash bid received by Lessee and the name
and the address of the Person submitting each such bid. Lessor may
(but need not), also, at its expense (which expense, including
13
Series AB
16
without limitation any broker's or finder's fees, shall be for the
Owner Participant's own account), independently obtain cash bids for
such purchase and, in the event Lessor receives any such bid, Lessor
shall promptly, and in any event at least five Business Days prior to
the Termination Contract Date certify to Lessee in writing the amount
and terms of such bid and the name and address of the Person
submitting such bid. Neither the Owner Participant, Lessee, nor any
Affiliate of either may submit a bid for the Aircraft, directly or
indirectly, in connection with such proposed sale. On the Termination
Date (or such earlier date of sale as may be agreed to by Lessor and
Lessee, which date shall thereafter be deemed the Termination Date),
x) Lessee shall, subject to receipt (i) by Lessor (or, so long as the
Trust Indenture shall not have been discharged, the Indenture Trustee)
of the full purchase price thereof and all amounts owing to Lessor
pursuant to the next sentence and ii) by the Persons entitled thereto
of all unpaid Supplemental Rent due on or before the Termination Date,
deliver the Aircraft at a location selected by Lessee to the Contract
Purchaser (or such other purchaser acceptable to Lessor and Lessee),
in the same manner as if delivery were made to Lessor at the end of
the Term pursuant to Section 5, and shall duly transfer to Lessor
title to any engines installed on the Airframe but not owned by
Lessor, all in accordance with the terms of Section 5, and y) Lessor
shall simultaneously therewith sell, without recourse or warranty
(except as to Lessor's Liens), for cash all of Lessor's right, title
and interest in and to the Aircraft to such Contract Purchaser (or
other purchaser). The total selling price realized at such sale shall
be retained by Lessor (or, so long as the Trust Indenture shall not
have been discharged, distributed by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to
the terms of the Trust Indenture) and, in addition, on the Termination
Date, Lessee shall pay to Lessor or, in the case of Supplemental Rent,
to the Persons entitled thereto, in funds of the type specified in
Section 3(d), an amount equal to (I) the sum of (1) the excess, if
any, of (A) the Termination Value for the Aircraft as of the
Termination Date, over (B) the proceeds of the sale of the Aircraft
after deducting the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
Lessor and the Owner Participant (including any brokerage fee paid to
Lessee or any other Person), plus 2) that amount of interest that will
accrue on the principal of all Outstanding Equip-
14

17
ment Notes during the period from and including the Termination Date
to but excluding the Redemption Date specified in Section 6.01 of the
Trust Indenture, plus (3) all Supplemental Rent (including, without
limitation, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and Swap Breakage Loss, if any,
as the case may be, payable in connection with a redemption of any
Equipment Notes resulting from a termination under this Section 9(b))
other than Termination Value, due and owing on the Termination Date,
plus 4) (A) if the Termination Date is a Lease Period Date, the Basic
Rent installment due and payable on that date pursuant to Section 3(b)
(it being understood and agreed that Lessee shall not be required to
pay the portion, if any, of such Basic Rent installment designated in
Exhibit A-1 to the Rent Schedule as being payable in advance), or (B)
if the Termination Date is not a Lease Period Date and if Basic Rent
is payable in arrears during the Lease Period commencing on the Lease
Period Date next preceding the Termination Date, an amount equal to
the Accrued Arrears Basic Rent for the period from and including such
Lease Period Date to but excluding the Termination Date, plus (5) all
Basic Rent due and payable prior to the Termination Date and unpaid,
less (II) any credit to which Lessee may be entitled as hereinafter in
this Section 9(b) provided. Subject always to the provisions of the
penultimate paragraph of Section 3(b), if the Termination Date with
respect to which Termination Value is determined is not a Lease Period
Date and if any portion of the Basic Rent installment paid in respect
of the Lease Period commencing on the Lease Period Date next preceding
the Termination Date is designated in Exhibit A-1 to the Rent Schedule
as having been payable in advance, Lessee shall be entitled to a
credit against the amounts payable by it pursuant to this Section 9(b)
in an amount equal to the lesser of x) the Unearned Advance Basic Rent
as of the Termination Date, and (y) the amount, if any, by which the
proceeds of the sale of the Aircraft after deducting the reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lessor and the Owner Participant
(including any brokerage fee paid to Lessee or any other Person)
exceeds the Termination Value for the Aircraft as of the Termination
Date;provided that, in the event that the amount calculated pursuant
to this sentence to be credited exceeds the amounts payable by Lessee
pursuant to this Section 9(b), the Owner Participant shall be
obligated to rebate an amount equal to such excess to Lessee. If on
or prior to the scheduled Termination
15
Series AB
18
Date no sale of the Aircraft shall have occurred and if Lessor shall
not have elected to retain the Aircraft in accordance with Section
9(d) or Lessee shall not have elected to purchase the Aircraft in
accordance with Section 9(e), Lessee's notice given pursuant to
Section 9(a) shall be deemed to be withdrawn as of such scheduled
Termination Date and this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect.
(c) Certain Obligations upon Sale of Aircraft. Upon the sale
of the Aircraft pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of
Section 9(b), Lessor will transfer to Lessee, without recourse or
warranty (except as to Lessor's Liens), all of Lessor's right, title
and interest in and to any Engines constituting part of the Aircraft
but which are not then installed on the Airframe. Lessor shall be
under no duty to solicit bids, to inquire into the efforts of Lessee
to obtain bids or otherwise take any action in connection with the
sale of the Aircraft under Section 9(b), other than to transfer to the
purchaser of the Aircraft (or to such purchaser and to Lessee, as the
case may be), without recourse or warranty (except as to Lessor's
Liens), all of Lessor's right, title and interest in and to the
Aircraft against receipt of the payments provided for herein, and to
pay the amounts, if any, required to be paid by Lessor under Section

sale of the Aircraft pursuant to Section 9(b) to execute and deliver
to such purchaser (or to such purchaser and to Lessee, as the case may
be) an appropriate instrument releasing the Aircraft from the lien of
the Trust Indenture and releasing the Purchase Agreement and the
Purchase Agreement Assignment from the assignment and pledge under the
Trust Indenture. Lessor agrees to notify promptly Lessee of the
appointment by Lessor of any broker or finder (other than Lessee) in
connection with the sale of the Aircraft pursuant to Section 9(b) and,
subject to Section 9(b), to pay the fees or commissions of any such
broker or finder employed by Lessor in connection with the sale of the
Aircraft pursuant to Section 9(b).

elected to purchase the Aircraft as provided in Section 9(e) and
Lessor has elected to retain the Aircraft pursuant to Section 9(a), on
the Termination Date specified in Lessee's termination notice, Lessor

equal to the Accrued Arrears Basic Rent for the period from and
including such Lease Period Date to but excluding the Termination
Date, and all Basic Rent due and payable prior to the Termination Date

paid in respect of the Lease Period commencing on the Lease Period
Date next preceding the Termination Date is designated in Exhibit A-1
to the Rent Schedule as having been payable in advance, Lessee shall,
subject always to the provisions of the penultimate paragraph of
Section 3(b), be entitled to a credit against the amounts payable by
it pursuant to this Section 9(d) in an amount equal to the Unearned
Advance Basic Rent as of the Termination Date; provided that in the
event that the Unearned Advance Basic Rent exceeds the amount payable
by Lessee pursuant to this Section 9(d), the Owner Participant will be
obligated to rebate an amount equal to such excess to Lessee. If

Section 9(d) and as a result thereof this Lease shall not be

longer be entitled to exercise its election to retain the Aircraft and
Lessee may at its option at any time thereafter submit a new

on the Certificates from and including the Lease Period Date next preceding a

representatives of Lessor to accept delivery of the Aircraft pursuant to the
Participation Agreement. Lessee hereby agrees to deliver the Aircraft within
the United States to Lessor, and Lessor hereby authorizes one or more employees
or agents of Lessee, designated by Lessee, as the authorized representative or
representatives of Lessor to ultimately deliver the Aircraft outside the United
States within one year after the date of the acceptance of delivery of the
Aircraft from Lessee under the Participation Agreement, as contemplated by
Section 5(d) of the Tax Indemnity Agreement. Lessee hereby agrees that such
acceptance of delivery by such authorized representative or representatives on
behalf of Lessor shall, without further act, irrevocably constitute acceptance
by Lessee of the Aircraft for all purposes of this Lease.
Section 3. Term and Rent. (a) Term. Except as otherwise

(b) Basic Rent. Lessee hereby agrees to pay Lessor Basic
Rent for the Aircraft throughout the Term in consecutive semiannual

Commencement Date. Each such installment of Basic Rent in respect of the
Aircraft shall be in an amount determined by multiplying Lessor's Cost by the
Basic Rent percentage set forth in Exhibit A to the Rent Schedule for the
applicable Lease Period Date.
Although the Basic Rent percentages set forth in Exhibit A to
the Rent Schedule have been computed on the assumption that each Certificate
will bear interest at the Assumed Debt Rate for such Certificate throughout the
Term, Lessor and Lessee recognize that the actual rate of interest on each
Certificate may be a rate from time to time which may be greater or less than
the Assumed Debt Rate for such Certificate and that the related basis upon
which interest on the Certificates will be computed will be as provided in the
Trust Indenture. Accordingly, each installment of Basic Rent shall be
increased or decreased, as the case may be, by an amount (the "Rent
Differential Amount") equal to, as of any Lease Period Date on which Basic Rent
is payable, the difference between (i) the aggregate amount of interest
actually due and payable on such Lease Period Date on the Certificates for the
period from and including the Lease Period Date next preceding such Lease
Period Date to but excluding such Lease Period Date, determined as provided in
the Trust Indenture, and (ii) the aggregate amount of interest on the
Certificates that would have been due and payable on such Lease Period Date if
each Certificate had borne interest at the Assumed Debt Rate for such
Certificate for the period from and including the Lease Period Date next
preceding such Lease Period Date to but excluding such Lease Period Date. If,
as of any Lease Period Date on which Basic Rent is payable, the amount
determined in accordance with clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence
shall be greater than the amount determined in accordance with clause (ii) of
such sentence, the amount of Basic Rent payable on such Lease Period Date shall
be increased by the Rent Differential Amount. If, as of any Lease Period Date
on which Basic Rent is payable, the amount determined in accordance with such
clause (ii) shall be greater than the amount determined in accordance with such
clause (i), the amount of Basic Rent due on such Lease Period Date shall be
decreased by the Rent Differential Amount. The interest actually accruing with
respect to the Certificates shall
19
AF-3
24
be as specified by the notification to be delivered by the Indenture Trustee to
Lessor, Lessee and the Owner Participant as provided in Section 1(c) of the
Participation Agreement.
Anything contained herein or in the Participation Agreement to
the contrary notwithstanding, each installment of Basic Rent (both before and
after any adjustment pursuant to Section 3(e), or any deduction pursuant to
Section 3(f)), as well as the amount of any Prepaid Rent paid pursuant to
Section 3(f), together with any payment made by the Owner Participant under
Section 16(a) of the Participation Agreement, shall be, under any circumstances
and in any event, in an amount at least equal to, as of the due date of such
installment, or Base Lease Commencement Date, as the case may be, the amount of
principal of and interest on the Certificates required to be paid by Lessor
pursuant to the Trust Indenture on the due date of such installment of Basic
Rent or on the Base Lease Commencement Date, as the case may be. Further, and
anything contained herein or in the Participation Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, Termination Value and Stipulated Loss Value for the Aircraft
(both before and after any adjustment pursuant to Section 3(e), or any
deduction pursuant to Section 3(f)) will, under any circumstances and in any
event, be an amount which, together with any other amounts (excluding Excepted
Payments) then required to be paid by Lessee hereunder in connection therewith,
will be at least equal to, as of the date of payment thereof, the aggregate
unpaid principal of the outstanding Certificates, together with all unpaid
interest thereon accrued to the date on which such amount is paid in accordance
with the terms hereof.
Basic Rent accrues or is earned with respect to each Lease
Period in accordance with Exhibit A-1 to the Rent Schedule.
(c) Supplemental Rent. Lessee also agrees to pay to Lessor,
or to whomsoever shall be entitled thereto, any and all Supplemental Rent
promptly as the same shall become due and owing, and in the event of any
failure on the part of Lessee to pay any Supplemental Rent, Lessor shall have
all rights, powers and remedies provided for herein or by law or in equity or
otherwise as in the case of nonpayment of Basic Rent. In addition, Lessee will
pay as Supplemental Rent (i) on demand, an amount equal to interest at the
applicable Overdue Rate on any part of any
20
AF-3
25
installment of Basic Rent not paid when due for any period for which the same
shall be overdue and on any payment of Supplemental Rent not paid when due or
demanded, as the case may be, for the period until the same shall be paid, (ii)
in the case of any prepayment of the Certificates pursuant to Section 2.12,
2.14 or Article IV of the Trust Indenture or purchase of the Certificates
pursuant to Section 2.13 of the Trust Indenture, on the date the same is
payable by Lessor under the Trust Indenture, an amount equal to the Break
Amount, if any, payable with respect to the Certificates and (iii) any amounts
payable by Lessor under Section 2.18 of the Trust Indenture; provided that
notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any Operative Document or
any document or instrument relating thereto, Lessee shall have no
responsibility or liability for any amounts payable to any Loan Participant in
respect of the Break Amount, if any, payable with respect to the Certificates,
as a result of (i) a prepayment of the Certificates or a purchase of the
Certificates pursuant to Section 2.13 of the Trust Indenture as a result of an
Indenture Default that does not also constitute an Event of Default or (ii) an
Indenture Default that does not also constitute an Event of Default. All
Supplemental Rent to be paid pursuant to this Section 3(c) shall be payable in
the type of funds and in the manner set forth in Section 3(d).
(d) Payment to Lessor. All Rent shall be paid by Lessee to
Lessor at its office at Rodney Square North, Wilmington, Delaware 19890,
Attention: Corporate Trust Administration (AA 1992 AF-3), in funds consisting
of lawful currency of the United States of America which shall be immediately
available at such office of Lessor not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City
time, on the date of payment, provided that so long as the Trust Indenture
shall not have been discharged pursuant to the terms thereof, Lessor hereby
directs, and each of Lessor and Lessee agrees, that all Rent (excluding
Excepted Property) or other sums payable to Lessor hereunder or pursuant hereto
shall be paid directly to the Indenture Trustee at the times and in funds of
the type specified in this Section 3(d) at the offices of the Indenture Trustee
at 600 Peachtree Street, N.E., Suite 900, Atlanta, Georgia 30308, Attention:
Corporate Trust Department (AA 1992 AF-3), or at such other location in the
United States as the Indenture Trustee may otherwise direct. Whenever the date
scheduled for any payment of Rent to be made hereunder shall not be a Business
Day, then such payment need not be
21
AF-3
26
made on such scheduled date but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day
with the same force and effect as if made on such scheduled date and (provided
such payment is made on such next succeeding Business Day) no interest shall
accrue on the amount of such payment from and after such scheduled date to the
time of such payment on such next succeeding Business Day.
(e) Adjustments to Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss Value and
Termination Value. In the event that (i) the Transaction Costs (as such term
is defined in Section 18(a) of the Participation Agreement) are less or more
than 0.5% of Lessor's Cost, or (ii) prior to the acceptance of the Aircraft on
the Delivery Date: (A) there shall have occurred a Change in Tax Law and (B)
after having been advised in writing by the Owner Participant of such Change in
Tax Law and the proposed adjustment to the payments of Basic Rent resulting
therefrom, Lessee shall have waived its right under Section 11 of the
Participation Agreement to decline to proceed with the transaction, or (iii) a
refunding or refinancing as contemplated by Section 17 or Section 20 of the
Participation Agreement occurs, or (iv) the Delivery Date is other than August
11, 1992, or (v) if the Certificates are not refunded or refinanced on or prior
to the Base Lease Commencement Date, the Excess Payment Amount (after
adjustment for any Excess Payment Differential Amount) is other than
$2,415,000.00, then, in each such case, all payments of Basic Rent, Excess
Payment Amount and Stipulated Loss Values and Termination Values with respect
to the Term will, subject always to the penultimate paragraph of Section 3(b),
be adjusted (upwards or downwards, as the case may be) in accordance with the
provisions of Section 18 or Section 20, as applicable, of the Participation
Agreement to preserve the Owner Participant's Net Economic Return, or the Owner
Participant's Revised Net Economic Return, as the case may be, and, to the
greatest extent possible, to minimize the net present value of the payments of
Basic Rent. In addition, in the event of a refunding or refinancing as
contemplated by Section 17 or Section 20 of the Participation Agreement, the
Special Purchase Price Percentage and the Special Purchase Option Date shall be
recalculated in accordance with the provisions of Section 18 or Section 20, as
applicable, of the Participation Agreement.
(f) Prepayments of Certain Rent Payments. To the extent, if
any, that there shall not have been re-
22
AF-3
27
ceived by the Indenture Trustee at the office of Indenture Trustee referred to
in Section 3(d) hereof, by 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Base Lease
Commencement Date from Lessor, an amount equal to the Excess Payment Amount,
Lessee shall advance to Lessor on the Base Lease Commencement Date an amount
equal to the Excess Payment Amount not so paid (such amount being herein called
"Prepaid Rent") provided that Lessee will also pay to the Indenture Trustee, on
demand, as Supplemental Rent, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
interest at the Overdue Rate on any Excess Payment Amount not paid by the Owner
Participant when due for any period for which the same shall be overdue. Any
Rent prepaid pursuant to this Section 3(f) shall be offset against installments
of Basic Rent in the order in which they become due, subject to the penultimate
sentence of this paragraph. Lessor agrees to reimburse Lessee in the manner
and subject to the conditions provided in the following sentence for (x) the
Prepaid Rent so paid by Lessee determined as of the date such payment was made,
plus (y) the Supplemental Rent so paid by Lessee pursuant to this Section 3(f)
plus (z) accrued interest on the unreimbursed portion thereof at a rate per
annum equal to the Overdue Rate plus three percent (3%) from the date such
amount is paid by Lessee to but not including the date of each such
reimbursement (such amounts to be reimbursed being herein called the
"Reimbursement Amount"). So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Lessee may with written notice to the Owner Participant and
Indenture Trustee offset (without duplication) against each succeeding payment
(other than as limited by the proviso to this sentence) due from Lessee to
Lessor in respect of Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss Value, Termination Value or
any other amount due hereunder to Lessor, until Lessee has been fully
reimbursed for the Reimbursement Amount; provided, however, that in the case of
any payment due from Lessee which is distributable under the terms of the
Indenture, Lessee's right of offset shall be limited to amounts distributable
to Lessor or the Owner Participant thereunder. No such offset or aggregate
combined effect of separate offsets shall reduce the amount of any installments
of Basic Rent to an amount insufficient, together with all other amounts
payable simultaneously by Lessee, to pay in full the payments then required to
be made on account of the principal of and interest on the Certificates then
outstanding. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 3(f) to the
contrary, Lessee's obligation to advance an amount equal to the Excess Payment

Amount shall terminate at such time as its obligation to pay Basic Rent
terminates under this Lease.
Section 4. Lessor's Representations, Warranties and
Covenants; Quiet Enjoyment. (a) Lessor's Representations, Warranties and
Covenants. NONE OF LESSOR (IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY OR AS OWNER TRUSTEE),
THE OWNER PARTICIPANT, ANY LOAN PARTICIPANT, OR THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE MAKES OR
SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, AND LESSEE HEREBY
WAIVES, RELEASES AND RENOUNCES ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE TITLE, AIRWORTHINESS, VALUE, CONDITION,
WORKMANSHIP, DESIGN, OPERATION, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR USE FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE OF THE AIRCRAFT OR ANY ENGINE OR ANY PART THEREOF, AS TO THE
ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS, WHETHER OR NOT DISCOVERABLE, AS TO THE
ABSENCE OF ANY INFRINGEMENT OF ANY PATENT, TRADEMARK OR COPYRIGHT, OR AS TO THE
ABSENCE OF OBLIGATIONS BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY IN TORT, WHETHER IN STRICT OR
ABSOLUTE LIABILITY OR ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF LESSOR, INDENTURE TRUSTEE,
ANY LOAN PARTICIPANT, OR THE OWNER PARTICIPANT, ACTUAL OR IMPUTED OR ANY OTHER
REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, except that Lessor
in its individual capacity represents and warrants that on the Delivery Date
Lessor shall have received whatever rights, title and interests in, to and
under the Aircraft were conveyed to it by Lessee and Lessor represents,
warrants and covenants in its individual capacity that the Aircraft shall be
free of Lessor's Liens attributable to it in its individual capacity. Lessor
also represents and warrants in its individual capacity that it is, in its
individual capacity, a "citizen of the United States" as defined in Section
101(16) of the Federal Aviation Act.
(b) Quiet Enjoyment. Lessor covenants that, so long as no
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, it will not take any
action contrary to Lessee's rights under this Lease, or otherwise in any way
interfere with the quiet enjoyment of the use and possession of the Aircraft,
the Airframe or any Engine by Lessee or any sublessee, assignee or transferee
under any sublease, assignment or transfer then in effect and permitted by the
terms of this Lease.
Section 5. Return of Aircraft. (a) Return of Airframe and
Engines. Upon the termination of this Lease at the end of the Term, a Renewal
Term or pursuant to
24
AF-3
29
Section 9 or Section 15, unless Lessee shall have exercised its option to
purchase the Aircraft pursuant to Section 9(e), 20(b) or 20(c), Lessee will
return the Aircraft by delivering the same, at its own expense, to any airport
chosen by Lessee in the United States which is on Lessee's route system or, if
Lessor has requested storage pursuant to Section 5(d), to the location
determined in accordance with Section 5(d), fully equipped with two Engines
(which may be Replacement Engines), or other General Electric CF6-80C2B6
engines (or engines of the same or another manufacturer of a comparable or an
improved model and suitable for installation and use on the Airframe) owned by
Lessee (and each such engine shall be of the same make, model and manufacture
as the other Engine or engine installed on the Airframe), duly installed
thereon. At the time of such return, (A) such Airframe and Engines or engines
(i) shall be, if the Aircraft is then registered under the laws of the United
States, duly certificated as an airworthy aircraft by the Federal Aviation
Administration or, if the Aircraft is not then registered under the laws of the
United States as provided in the penultimate sentence of this Section 5(a),
shall be duly certificated as an airworthy aircraft by the central civil
aviation authority of the jurisdiction in which the Aircraft is then
registered, and, in addition, if the Aircraft is not registrable in the United
States because one of the conditions specified in the proviso to such sentence
apply, shall be eligible for certification as an airworthy aircraft by the
Federal Aviation Administration, (ii) shall be free and clear of all Liens
(other than Lessor's Liens and Permitted Liens of the type described in clause
(i) or (iii) of Section 6), (iii) shall be in as good operating condition as
when delivered to Lessee hereunder, ordinary wear and tear excepted, or, in the
case of any such engines owned by Lessee, shall have a value and utility at
least equal to, and shall be in as good operating condition as required by the
terms hereof with respect to, Engines constituting part of the Aircraft but not
then installed on the Airframe and (iv) in the event that Lessee does not use a
progressive overhaul program in which no out-of-service phase with respect to
the Airframe exceeds 240 hours or a condition-monitored maintenance program
with respect to such Engines or engines, and Lessee adopts a time-related
overhaul program with respect to the Airframe or a scheduled shop visit or
module change maintenance program with respect to such Engines or engines, or
both, such Airframe shall have at least 1,500 hours of operation remaining to
the next heavy
25
AF-3
30
maintenance visit and the aggregate number of hours of operation on all such
Engines or engines remaining until the next scheduled shop visit or module
change shall be at least 3,000 hours and (B) such Aircraft shall, except as
otherwise provided herein, be clean and in a configuration suitable for
commercial passenger service, and shall be in compliance with all mandatory
environmental, noise, air pollution and other standards prescribed by the
Federal government of the United States of America and applicable to the
Aircraft and shall have all of Lessee's and any other Person's exterior
markings removed or painted over with the areas thereof refinished to match
adjacent areas. In the event that Lessee has adopted a time-related overhaul
program with respect to the Airframe and does not meet the above conditions
with respect thereto, Lessee shall pay Lessor a dollar amount computed by
multiplying (i) 115% of Lessee's direct cost (during the preceding twelve
months) of such heavy maintenance visit by (ii) a fraction of which (x) the
numerator shall be the difference between 1,500 hours and the actual number of
hours of operation remaining on the Airframe to the next heavy maintenance
visit and (y) the denominator shall be the aggregate number of hours allowable
between heavy maintenance visits. In the event that Lessee has adopted a
scheduled shop visit or module change program with respect to such Engines or
engines and Lessee does not meet the above conditions with respect to such
Engines or engines, Lessee shall pay Lessor a dollar amount computed by
multiplying (i) the product of (x) 115% of Lessee's direct cost (during the
preceding twelve months) of such scheduled shop visit or module change and (y)
the number of Engines or engines returned by (ii) a fraction of which (A) the
numerator shall be the difference between 3,000 hours and the actual aggregate
number of hours of operation remaining to the next scheduled shop visit or
module change for the Engines or engines on the Aircraft and (B) the
denominator shall be the aggregate number of hours allowable between scheduled
shop visits or module changes for such Engines or engines. At the time of such
return, Lessee will, unless requested by Lessor at least 90 days prior to such
time of return to retain the existing registration of the Aircraft, cause the
Aircraft, if it is not then so registered, to be registered under the laws of
the United States with the Federal Aviation Administration in the name of
Lessor or its designee; provided that Lessee shall be relieved of its
obligations under this sentence if (x) such registration is prohibited by
reason of the failure of Lessor, the Owner Participant or Lessor's designee
26
AF-3
31
to be eligible on such date to own an aircraft registered with the Federal
Aviation Administration or (y) such registration is otherwise prohibited by
applicable law and such prohibition does not result from an act or failure to
act on the part of Lessee or any sublessee. In the event the Federal Aviation
Administration shall issue any directive which would require improvements to
the Aircraft in order for the airworthiness certificate of the Aircraft to be
maintained in good standing, and if such directive by its terms is not
applicable to the Aircraft prior to the return thereof pursuant to this Section
5, Lessee shall nevertheless comply with such directive if, prior to such
return, (x) Lessee commences compliance with such directive with respect to any
other Boeing 767-300 aircraft affected by such directive and in use by Lessee
and (y) subsequent to any such commencement, the Aircraft is subjected to a
maintenance check of the type at which such modification is made, in accordance
with Lessee's general maintenance program.
(b) Return of Engines. In the event that any engine not
owned by Lessor shall be delivered with the Airframe as set forth in paragraph
(a) of this Section 5, Lessee, concurrently with such delivery, will, at its
own expense, furnish Lessor with a warranty (as to title) bill of sale in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor (which warranty shall except
Lessor's Liens and Permitted Liens of the type described in clause (i) of
Section 6), with respect to each such engine and with a written opinion of
Lessee's counsel (which may be Lessee's General Counsel) to the effect that
such bill of sale constitutes an effective instrument for the conveyance of
title to such engine to Lessor, and thereupon Lessor will transfer to Lessee,
without recourse or warranty (except as to Lessor's Liens), all Lessor's right,
title and interest in and to an Engine constituting part of the Aircraft but
not installed on the Airframe at the time of the return of the Airframe.
(c) Fuel; Manuals. Upon the return of the Airframe pursuant
to this Section 5, (i) Lessee shall have no obligation with respect to the
amount of fuel or oil contained in the Airframe and all fuel or oil remaining
on board the Airframe shall be the property of Lessor without charge and (ii)
Lessee shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Lessor all logs, manuals and
data, and inspection, modification and overhaul records required to be
maintained with respect thereto under applicable rules
27
AF-3
32
and regulations of the Federal Aviation Administration and, if the Aircraft has
been registered under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States,
of the applicable foreign governmental authority, and the warranty bill of sale
relating to the Aircraft received from the Manufacturer.
(d) Storage upon Return. Upon written request of Lessor
received at least 30 days prior to the end of the Term, Lessee will provide
Lessor with storage facilities free of charge except as provided below for the
Aircraft for a period not exceeding 30 days at such location in the United
States on Lessee's route system used by Lessee for the storage of surplus
aircraft or engines available for sale as shall be designated by Lessee;
provided that Lessor may request that the Aircraft be stored at any other
location in the United States on Lessee's route system used by Lessee for such
purpose, in which case Lessee may, in its sole discretion, provide such
facilities for such period. Any storage facilities provided by Lessee for the
Aircraft pursuant to this Section 5(d) shall, in all cases, be at the cost to
Lessor of insurance and Lessee's out-of-pocket costs in connection with
providing such facilities (it being understood that such out-of-pocket costs
shall not be deemed to include the cost of making the storage facilities
available) and at the risk of Lessor. In the event Lessor, after a storage
location is determined as provided in the first sentence of this Section 5(d),
shall request Lessee to deliver the Aircraft to a second location, Lessee will,
at Lessor's expense, fly the Aircraft within such 30-day period to a reasonable
location selected by Lessor in the United States, for storage at the risk and
expense of Lessor, upon receipt of evidence of insurance coverage (reasonably
satisfactory to Lessee) as set forth in Section 11(a), provided that (i) Lessee
shall not be required to store the Aircraft at any location used by Lessee for
storage of surplus aircraft available for sale except as provided in the first
sentence of this Section 5(d) and (ii) the delivery by Lessee of the Aircraft
to the first location determined as provided in such sentence shall constitute
delivery of the Aircraft as required by Section 5(a). Lessor, at its expense,
may place such other insurance in such circumstances on the Aircraft as it may
deem appropriate. Lessee shall, at Lessor's request, maintain insurance (if
available) for the Aircraft during such period of storage and shall be
reimbursed by Lessor for the cost thereof.
28
AF-3
33
(e) Delayed Return. (i) In the event that the use of the
Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine in the normal course of the business of air
transportation is prohibited on the last day of the Term or the date the
Aircraft is required to be redelivered pursuant to Section 9, Lessee shall,
upon prompt notice of the reasons therefor to Lessor, not be required to return
such Aircraft to Lessor but may retain custody and control of the Aircraft for
a period not in excess of 180 days beyond the last day of the Term or such date
in order to attempt in a diligent manner to remedy any condition prohibiting
such use or (ii) in connection with any sublease of the Aircraft by Lessee
permitted under the terms of this Lease, Lessee may at its option, upon written
notice to Lessor given not less than 30 days prior to the last day of the Term
or such date, extend this Lease for a period not in excess of 60 days beyond
the last day of the Term in order to enable Lessee to bring the Aircraft to the
condition required under this Section 5 on its return to Lessor; provided that
in either case, Lessee shall pay to Lessor at monthly intervals the daily
equivalent of 50% of the average annual Basic Rent payable during the Term
(excluding the Interim Period) pursuant to the terms hereof for each day of
such period.
(f) Overhaul. Immediately prior to the return of the
Airframe and Engines or engines at the end of the Term, Lessee, upon written
request of Lessor received at least 30 days prior to the end of the Term, and
subject to the availability of the appropriate facilities, will overhaul or
cause to be overhauled such Airframe and Engines or engines. Such overhaul
shall be done in the same manner and same care as used by Lessee with similar
airframes and engines of its own, and Lessor shall reimburse Lessee for such
overhaul by payment of an amount equal to 110% of Lessee's actual costs in
connection with such overhaul. This provision is not intended and shall not be
construed to diminish or modify Lessee's other obligations under this Section
5.
Section 6. 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, title thereto or any interest therein or in this Lease
except (i) the respective rights of Lessor and Lessee as herein provided, the
Lien created under the Trust Indenture, the rights of Lessor under the Purchase
Agreement Assignment and the rights of the Owner Participant, the
29
AF-3
34
Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee under the Trust Agreement, the Trust
Indenture, and the Participation Agreement, (ii) the rights of others under
agreements or arrangements to the extent expressly permitted by the terms of
Sections 7(b) and 8(b), (iii) Lessor's Liens, Loan Participant Liens and
Trustee's Liens, (iv) Liens for Taxes either not yet due or being contested in
good faith (and for the payment of which adequate reserves have been provided)
by appropriate proceedings so long as such proceedings do not involve any
material danger of the sale, forfeiture or loss of the Airframe or any Engine
or interest therein, (v) materialmen's, mechanics', workmen's, repairmen's,
employees' or other like Liens arising in the ordinary course of Lessee's
business for amounts the payment of which is either not yet delinquent or is
being contested in good faith (and for the payment of which adequate reserves
have been provided) by appropriate proceedings so long as such proceedings do
not involve any material danger of the sale, forfeiture or loss of the Airframe
or any Engine or interest therein, (vi) Liens arising out of judgments or
awards against Lessee with respect to which an appeal or proceeding for review
is being prosecuted in good faith and with respect to which there shall have
been secured a stay of execution pending such appeal or proceeding for review
so long as such judgment or award does not and will not involve any material
danger of the sale, forfeiture or loss of the Airframe or any Engine or any
interest therein and (vii) salvage or similar rights of insurers under
insurance policies maintained pursuant to Section 11. Lessee will promptly, at
its own expense, take such action as may be necessary duly to discharge (by
bonding or otherwise) any such Lien not excepted above if the same shall arise
at any time.
Section 7. Registration, Maintenance and Operation;
Possession; Insignia. (a) Registration, Maintenance and Operation. Lessee,
at its own cost and expense, shall:
(i) forthwith upon the delivery thereof to Lessor on the
Delivery Date cause the Aircraft to be duly registered, and at all
times thereafter to remain duly registered, under the laws of the
United States, in the name of Lessor, as owner, except (x) as
otherwise required by the Federal Aviation Act, or (y) to the extent
that such registration cannot be effected because of Lessor's or the
Owner
30
AF-3
35
Participant's failure to comply with the citizenship or other
eligibility requirements for registration of aircraft under such Act;
provided that Lessor shall execute and deliver all such documents as
Lessee shall reasonably request for the purpose of effecting and
continuing such registration. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence,
but subject always to the terms and conditions set forth in Section
9(m) and 9(n) of the Participation Agreement, Lessee may cause the
Aircraft to be duly registered under the laws of any jurisdiction in
which a sublessee pursuant to Section 7(b)(ix) could be principally
based, in the name of Lessor or of any nominee of Lessor, or, if
required by applicable law, in the name of Lessee or any other Person,
and shall thereafter maintain such registration unless and until
changed as provided herein and therein; and Lessor will cooperate with
Lessee in effecting such foreign registration;
(ii) maintain, service, repair, overhaul and test the Aircraft in
accordance with a maintenance program (as approved by the Federal
Aviation Administration) for Boeing 767-300 series aircraft (or, at
Lessee's option, (x) in the event that the Aircraft is re-registered
in another jurisdiction pursuant to Section 7(a)(i), in accordance
with an aircraft maintenance program approved by the central civil
aviation authority of the jurisdiction of such registration or (y) in
the event of any sublease to a foreign air carrier in accordance with
Section 7(b)(ix), approved by the central civil aviation authority of
one of the jurisdictions specified in clause (y) of such Section
7(b)(ix)) and in the same manner and with the same care used by Lessee
with respect to comparable aircraft and engines owned or operated by
Lessee and utilized in similar circumstances so as to keep the
Aircraft in as good operating condition as when delivered to Lessee by
the Manufacturer, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and in such
condition as may be necessary to enable the airworthiness
certification of the Aircraft to be maintained in good standing at all
times (other than during temporary periods of storage in accordance
with applicable regulations or during periods of grounding by
applicable governmental authorities, except where such periods of
grounding are the result of the failure by Lessee to maintain the
Aircraft as
31
AF-3
36
otherwise required herein) under the Federal Aviation Act or, if the
Aircraft is registered under the laws of any other jurisdiction, the
laws of such jurisdiction and in compliance with all applicable
manufacturer's alert service bulletins;
(iii) maintain, in the English language, all records, logs and
other materials required by the appropriate authorities in the
jurisdiction where the Aircraft is registered to be maintained in
respect of the Aircraft; and
(iv) promptly furnish to Lessor such information as may be
required to enable Lessor to file any reports, returns or statements
required to be filed by Lessor with any governmental authority because
of Lessor's or the Owner Participant's interest in the Aircraft.
Lessee agrees that the Aircraft will not be maintained, used
or operated in violation of any law or any rule, regulation or order 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; provided that Lessee
shall not be in default under this sentence if it is not possible for it to
comply with the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States (or other
than any jurisdiction in which the Aircraft is then registered) because of a
conflict with the applicable laws of the United States (or such jurisdiction in
which the Aircraft is then registered). In the event that any such law, rule,
regulation or order requires alteration of the Aircraft, Lessee will conform
thereto or obtain conformance therewith at no expense to Lessor and will
maintain the Aircraft in proper operating condition under such laws, rules,
regulations and orders; provided, however, that Lessee may, in good faith,
contest the validity or application of any such law, rule, regulation or order
in any reasonable manner which does not materially adversely affect Lessor, the
Aircraft, the Owner Participant or the lien of the Trust Indenture, provided
that neither noncompliance with such law, rule, regulation or order nor such
proceedings shall involve any danger of criminal liability to Lessor or the
Owner Participant or (unless Lessee shall have provided security reasonably
satisfactory to Lessor) any material danger of the sale, forfeiture or loss (or
loss of use) of the
32
AF-3
37
Aircraft. Lessee also agrees not to operate or locate the Aircraft, or suffer
the Aircraft to be operated or located, (i) in any area excluded from coverage
by any insurance required by the terms of Section 11, except in the case of a
requisition for use by any Government where Lessee obtains indemnity pursuant
to Section 11 in lieu of such insurance from such Government against the risks
and in the amounts required by Section 11 covering such area, or (ii) in any
war zone or recognized or, in Lessee's judgment, threatened area of hostilities
unless covered by war risk insurance in accordance with Section 11, but only so
long as the same remains in effect while the Aircraft is so operated or
located, or unless the Aircraft is operated or used under contract with any
Government entered into pursuant to Section 11, under which contract such
Government assumes liability for any damage, loss, destruction or failure to
return possession of the Aircraft at the end of the term of such contract or
for injury to persons or damage to property of others.
(b) Possession. Lessee will not, without the prior written
consent of Lessor, sublease or otherwise in any manner deliver, transfer or
relinquish possession of 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 shall have occurred and be
continuing, and so long as the action to be taken shall not deprive the
Indenture Trustee of the perfected lien of the Trust Indenture on the Airframe
or (subject to subclause (B) of the "provided further" clause to subsection (i)
of this Section 7(b)) any Engine, and in any event, so long as Lessee shall
comply with the provisions of Section 11, Lessee may, without the prior consent
of Lessor:
(i) subject the Airframe to normal interchange agreements or any
Engine to normal interchange or pooling agreements or arrangements in
each case customary in the airline industry and entered into by Lessee
in the ordinary course of its business with any other United States
air carrier as to which there is in force a certificate issued
pursuant to Section 401 of the Federal Aviation Act or any successor
provision that gives like authority or with any "foreign air carrier"
(as such term is defined in such Act) as to which there is in force a
permit issued pursuant to Section 402 of said Act (any such United
States certificated air carrier and any such foreign
33
AF-3
38
air carrier being hereinafter called a "Permitted Air Carrier");
provided that no transfer of the registration of such Airframe shall
be effected in connection therewith; and provided, further, that (A)
no such agreement or arrangement contemplates or requires the transfer
of title to the Airframe and (B) if Lessor's title to any such Engine
shall be 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;
(ii) deliver possession of the Airframe or any Engine to the
manufacturer thereof for testing or other similar purposes or to any
organization for service, repair, maintenance or overhaul work on the
Airframe or such Engine or any part thereof or for alterations or
modifications in or additions to the Airframe or such Engine to the
extent required or permitted by the terms of Section 7(a) or 8(c);
(iii) transfer possession of the Airframe or any Engine to the
United States of America or any instrumentality or agency thereof
pursuant to a sublease, contract or other instrument, a copy of which
shall be furnished to Lessor; provided that the term of such sublease
(including, without limitation, any option of the sublessee to renew
or extend) or the term of possession under such contract or other
instrument shall not continue beyond the end of the Term or any
Renewal Term then in effect;
(iv) transfer possession of the Airframe or any Engine to the
United States of America or any instrumentality or agency thereof in
accordance with applicable laws, rulings, regulations or orders
(including, without limitation, the Civil Reserve Air Fleet Program
authorized under 10 U.S.C. Section 9511 et seq. or any substantially
similar program), provided that Lessee (x) notifies Lessor of such
transfer of possession of the Airframe or any Engine to the United
States or any agency or instrumentality thereof and (y) provides to
Lessor the name and the address of the responsible Contracting Office
Representative for the Military Airlift Command of the United States
within 60 days thereof;
34
AF-3
39
(v) install an Engine on an airframe owned by Lessee free and
clear of all Liens, except (A) those of the type permitted under
clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) of Section 6 and those
which apply only to the engines (other than Engines), appliances,
parts, instruments, appurtenances, accessories, furnishings and other
equipment (other than Parts) installed on such airframe (but not to
the airframe as an entirety) and (B) the rights of other Permitted Air
Carriers under normal interchange agreements which are customary in
the airline industry and do not contemplate, permit or require the
transfer of title to the airframe or engines installed thereon;
(vi) install an Engine on an airframe leased to Lessee or owned
by Lessee subject to a conditional sale or other security agreement;
provided that (A) such airframe is free and clear of all Liens except
the rights of the parties to the lease or conditional sale or other
security agreement covering such airframe and except Liens of the type
permitted by clauses (A) and (B) of subparagraph (v) of this paragraph
of Section 7(b) and (B) Lessee shall have obtained from the lessor or
secured party of such airframe a written agreement (which may be the
lease or conditional sale or other security agreement covering such
airframe), in form and substance satisfactory to Lessor (it being
understood that an agreement from such lessor or secured party
substantially in the form of the final sentence of the penultimate
paragraph of this Section 7(b) shall be deemed to be satisfactory to
Lessor), whereby such lessor or secured party expressly agrees that
neither it nor its successors or assigns will acquire or claim any
right, title or interest in any Engine by reason of such Engine being
installed on such airframe at any time while such Engine is subject to
this Lease or to the lien of the Trust Indenture;
(vii) install an Engine on an airframe owned by Lessee, leased to
Lessee or owned by Lessee subject to a conditional sale or other
security agreement under circumstances where neither subparagraph (v)
nor subparagraph (vi) of this Section 7(b) is applicable; provided
that such installation shall be deemed an Event of Loss with respect
to such Engine and Lessee shall comply with Section 10(b) in respect
35
AF-3
40
thereof, Lessor not intending hereby to waive any right or interest it
may have to or in such Engine under applicable law until compliance by
Lessee with such Section 10(b); and
(viii) sublease any Engine or the Airframe and Engines or engines
then installed on the Airframe to any United States air carrier as to
which there is in force a certificate issued pursuant to Section 401
of the Federal Aviation Act or successor provision that gives like
authority; provided that the term of such sublease (including, without
limitation, any option of the sublessee to renew or extend) shall not
continue beyond the end of the Term or any Renewal Term then in
effect, unless Lessee shall have agreed to purchase the Aircraft or
renew this Lease in accordance with the terms hereof at the end of the
Term or such Renewal Term, as the case may be, to a date beyond the
end of the term of such sublease (assuming that all options to renew
or extend such sublease will be exercised); and
(ix) sublease any Engine or the Airframe and Engines or engines
then installed on the Airframe to (A) any foreign air carrier that is
principally based in and a domiciliary of a country (other than Cuba,
El Salvador, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon and Libya) that is at the inception
of the sublease a party to the Mortgage Convention, or (B) any foreign
air carrier that is principally based in and a domiciliary of a
country listed in Exhibit B hereto, or (C) any foreign air carrier not
described in clause (A) or (B) above; provided that (w) in the case
only of a sublease to a foreign air carrier under clause (C) above,
Lessor receives at the time of such sublease an opinion of counsel to
Lessee (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and
the Owner Participant) to the effect that (a) the terms of the
sublease and the Operative Documents are legal, valid, binding and
enforceable in the country in which such foreign air carrier is
principally based, to substantially the same extent as the Operative
Documents are at that time enforceable in the United States, (b) it is
not necessary for Lessor or the Owner Participant to qualify to do
business in such country solely as a result of the proposed sublease,
(c) there is no tort liability of the owner of an aircraft not in
possession thereof under the laws of
36
AF-3
41
such country other than tort liability no more extensive or onerous
than that which might have been imposed on such owner under the laws
of the United States or any state thereof (it being understood that,
in the event such opinion cannot be given in a form satisfactory to
Lessor and the Owner Participant, such opinion shall be waived if
insurance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and the Owner Participant
is provided by Lessee to cover the risk of such liability), (d) the
laws of such country require fair compensation by the government of
such country for the loss of use of the Aircraft in the event of the
requisition by such government of the Aircraft (unless Lessee shall
have agreed to provide insurance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and
the Owner Participant covering the risk of requisition of use of the
Aircraft by the government of such jurisdiction so long as the
Aircraft is subleased in such country), and (e) there exist no
possessory rights in favor of such sublessee under the laws of such
country which would, upon bankruptcy of or other default by Lessee or
the sublessee, prevent the return of such Engine or the Airframe and
such Engine or engine to Lessor in accordance with and when permitted
by the terms of Sections 14 and 15(a) hereof upon the exercise by
Lessor of its remedies under Section 15(a), (x) in the case only of a
sublease to a foreign air carrier under clause (C) above, each of
Lessor and the Owner Participant receives assurances reasonably
satisfactory to it that the currency of such country is freely
convertible into U.S. Dollars (unless Lessee shall have agreed to
provide the requisition insurance described in subclause (d) of clause
(w) above), (y) in the case of any sublease to a foreign air carrier,
either the sublease, or an arrangement existing between Lessee, the
sublessee and/or one or more third parties that provide maintenance
services, provides that the Aircraft will be maintained, serviced,
repaired, overhauled and tested in accordance with maintenance
standards for Boeing 767-300 series aircraft approved by, or
substantially similar to those approved or required by, the Federal
Aviation Administration or the central civil aviation authority of any
of Brazil, Canada, France, The Federal Republic of Germany, Italy,
Japan, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland or the United Kingdom and
(z) in the case of any sublease to a foreign air carrier (other than a
foreign air carrier prin-
37
AF-3
42
cipally based in Taiwan) the United States of America maintains
diplomatic relations with the country in which such foreign air
carrier is principally based at the time such sublease is entered
into; and provided, further, that the term of any such sublease
(including, without limitation, any option of the sublessee to renew
or extend) shall not continue beyond the end of the Term or any
Renewal Term then in effect, unless Lessee shall have agreed to
purchase the Aircraft or renew this Lease in accordance with the terms
hereof at the end of the Term or such Renewal Term, as the case may
be, to a date beyond the end of the term of such sublease (assuming
that all options to renew or extend such sublease will be exercised);
provided that the rights of any transferee who receives possession by reason of
a transfer permitted by this Section 7(b) (other than the transfer of an Engine
which is deemed an Event of Loss) shall be subject and subordinate to, and any
sublease permitted by this Section 7(b) shall be made expressly subject and
subordinate to, all the terms of this Lease and of the Trust Indenture,
including, without limitation, Lessor's rights to repossession pursuant to
Section 15(a) hereof and to avoid such sublease upon such repossession and the
Indenture Trustee's rights to possession pursuant to Section 4.04 of the Trust
Indenture, and Lessee shall in all events remain primarily liable hereunder for
the performance and observance of all of the terms and conditions of this Lease
to the same extent as if such sublease or transfer had not occurred, and any
such sublease shall include appropriate provisions for the maintenance (subject
to clause (y) of the first proviso to Section 7(b)(ix)) and insurance of the
Aircraft. No interchange agreement, pooling 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
hereunder or under the other Operative Documents. With the prior written
38
AF-3
43
consent of Lessor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, Lessee may
sub-sublease the Airframe or Engines in connection with a transaction that
involves such a sub-sublease commencing at the inception of the transaction.
Lessee may not otherwise sub-sublease the Airframe or Engines. Lessee shall
not sublease the Airframe or Engines to any sublessee that is the subject of a
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding at the inception of such
sublease without the prior written consent of Lessor, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld. Lessee shall, promptly upon entering into a sublease
of the Airframe or Engines, notify Lessor, the Owner Participant and the
Indenture Trustee of the identity of the sublessee and the term of such
sublease and shall provide a copy of such sublease agreement to any of Lessor,
the Owner Participant or the Indenture Trustee upon request therefrom (with
economic and financial provisions and information deleted therefrom if Lessee
shall so choose), provided that, except to the extent required by applicable
law, such parties shall keep confidential the identity of the sublessee and the
existence and terms of such sublease. Lessor hereby agrees, for the benefit of
the lessor or secured party of any airframe or engine leased to Lessee or owned
by Lessee subject to a conditional sale or other security agreement that Lessor
will not acquire or claim, as against such lessor or secured party, any right,
title or interest in any engine or engines owned 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 as the result of such engine or
engines being installed on the Airframe at any time while such engine or
engines are subject to such lease or conditional sale or other security
agreement.
Lessor acknowledges that any "wet lease" or other similar
arrangement under which Lessee maintains operational control of the Aircraft
shall not constitute a delivery, transfer or relinquishment of possession for
purposes of this Section 7(b).
(c) Insignia. Lessee agrees to affix as promptly as
practicable after the Delivery Date and thereafter to maintain in the cockpit
of the Airframe adjacent to the airworthiness certificate therein and (if not
prevented by applicable law or regulations or by any governmental authority) on
each Engine a nameplate bearing the inscription "WILMINGTON TRUST COMPANY, AS
OWNER TRUSTEE, LESSOR", and, so long as the Airframe or such Engine shall
constitute a part of the Indenture Estate, the inscription "NATIONSBANK OF
GEORGIA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, AS INDENTURE TRUSTEE/MORTGAGEE" (such nameplate
to be replaced, if necessary, with a nameplate reflecting the name of any
successor Lessor or successor Indenture Trustee). Except as above provided,
Lessee will not allow the name of any Person to be placed on the Airframe or on
any Engine as a designation that might be interpreted as a claim of owner-
39
AF-3
44
ship; provided that nothing herein contained shall prohibit Lessee (or any
sublessee) from placing its customary colors and insignia on the Airframe or
any Engine.
Section 8. Replacement and Pooling of Parts; Alterations,
Modifications and Additions. (a) Replacement of Parts. Lessee, at its own
cost and expense, will promptly replace all Parts which may from time to time
be incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or any Engine and
which may from time to time become worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized,
confiscated, damaged beyond repair or rendered permanently unfit for use for
any reason whatsoever, except as otherwise provided in Section 8(c). In
addition, Lessee may, at its own cost and expense, remove in the ordinary
course of maintenance, service, repair, overhaul or testing, any Parts, whether
or not worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond
repair or rendered permanently unfit for use; provided that Lessee, except as
otherwise provided in Section 8(c), will, at its own cost and expense, replace
such Parts as promptly as possible. All replacement Parts shall be free and
clear of all Liens (except for pooling arrangements to the extent permitted by
Section 8(b) and Permitted Liens), and shall be in as good operating condition
as, and shall have a value and utility at least equal to, the Parts replaced,
assuming such replaced Parts were in the condition and repair required to be
maintained by the terms hereof. Title to all Parts at any time removed from
the Airframe or any Engine shall remain vested in Lessor no matter where
located, until such time as such Parts shall be replaced by Parts which have
been incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or any Engine and
which meet the requirements for replacement Parts specified above. Immediately
upon any replacement Part becoming incorporated or installed in or attached to
the Airframe or any Engine as above provided, without further act, (i) title to
the replaced Part shall thereupon vest in Lessee, free and clear of all rights
of Lessor, and such replaced Part shall no longer be deemed a Part hereunder,
(ii) title to such replacement Part shall thereupon vest in Lessor, free and
clear of all Liens (except for Permitted Liens) and (iii) such replacement Part
shall become subject to this Lease and be deemed part of the Airframe or such
Engine for all purposes to the same extent as the Parts originally incorporated
or installed in or attached to the Airframe or such Engine.
40
AF-3
45
(b) Pooling of Parts. Any Part removed from the Airframe or
an Engine as provided in Section 8(a) may be subjected by Lessee to a normal
pooling arrangement customary in the airline industry entered into in the
ordinary course of Lessee's business with Permitted Air Carriers; provided that
the Part replacing such removed Part shall be incorporated or installed in or
attached to the Airframe or such Engine in accordance with Section 8(a) as
promptly as practicable after the removal of such removed Part. In addition,
any replacement Part when incorporated or installed in or attached to the
Airframe or an Engine in accordance with Section 8(a) may be owned by a
Permitted Air Carrier subject to such a normal pooling arrangement; provided
that Lessee, at its expense, as promptly thereafter as practicable, either (i)
causes title to such replacement Part to vest in Lessor in accordance with
Section 8(a) by Lessee acquiring title thereto for the benefit of, and
transferring such title to, Lessor, free and clear of all Liens (other than
Permitted Liens) or (ii) replaces such replacement Part by incorporating or
installing in or attaching to the Airframe or such Engine a further replacement
Part owned by Lessee free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens)
and by causing title to such further replacement Part to vest in Lessor in
accordance with Section 8(a).
(c) Alterations, Modifications and Additions. Lessee, at its
own expense, will make such alterations and modifications in and additions to
the Airframe and the Engines as may be required from time to time to meet the
standards of the Federal Aviation Administration or other governmental
authority having jurisdiction in any country in or over which the Aircraft is
flown; provided, however, that Lessee may, in good faith, contest the validity
or application of any such standard in any reasonable manner which does not
adversely affect Lessor, the Aircraft, the Owner Participant or the lien of the
Trust Indenture, provided that neither noncompliance with such standard nor
such proceedings shall involve any danger of criminal liability to Lessor or
the Owner Participant or (unless Lesse shall have provided security reasonably
satisfactory to Lessor) any material danger of the sale, forfeiture or loss of
the Aircraft. In addition, Lessee, at its own expense, may from time to time
make or cause to be made such alterations and modifications in and additions to
the Airframe or any Engine as Lessee may deem desirable in the proper conduct
of its business, including, without limitation, removal of Parts which Lessee
deems to be obsolete
41
AF-3
46
or no longer suitable or appropriate for use on the Airframe or such Engine
(such Parts being referred to as "Obsolete Parts"); provided that no such
alteration, modification, addition or removal shall diminish the value or
utility of the Airframe or such Engine, or materially impair the condition or
airworthiness thereof, below the value, utility, condition and airworthiness
thereof immediately prior to such alteration, modification, addition or removal
assuming the Airframe or such Engine was then of the value and utility and in
the condition and airworthiness required to be maintained by the terms of this
Lease, except that the value (but not the utility, condition or airworthiness)
of the Aircraft may be reduced by the value of Obsolete Parts which shall have
been removed, if the aggregate value of all such Obsolete Parts removed from
the Aircraft and not replaced shall not exceed $500,000. Title to all Parts
incorporated or installed in or attached or added to the Airframe or any Engine
as the result of such alteration, modification or addition shall, without
further act, vest in Lessor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee may, at any
time during the Term, remove any Part; 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 to the Airframe or such Engine at the
time of 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 or added to such Airframe or Engine
pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 8(c), and (iii) such Part can be
removed from the Airframe or such Engine without diminishing or impairing the
value, utility, condition or airworthiness required to be maintained by the
terms of this Lease which the Airframe or such Engine would have had at such
time had such removal not occurred. Upon the removal by Lessee of any Part as
provided in the immediately preceding sentence or the removal of any Obsolete
Part permitted by this Section 8(c), title thereto shall, without further act,
vest in Lessee and such Part shall no longer be deemed part of the Airframe or
the Engine from which it was removed. Title to any such Part not removed by
Lessee prior to the return of the Airframe or any Engine to Lessor hereunder
shall remain vested in Lessor.
Section 9. Voluntary Termination. (a) Right of Termination.
So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessee
shall have the right at its option (i) to terminate this Lease at any time on
or
42
AF-3
47
after the fifth anniversary of the Delivery Date, if in Lessee's good faith
determination (evidenced by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of Lessee to
such effect) the Aircraft is surplus to Lessee's requirements or economically
obsolete to Lessee, and (ii) at any time on or after the eighth anniversary of
the Delivery Date to terminate this Lease for any reason whatsoever, in each
case by delivering to Lessor a written notice of termination specifying a
proposed date of termination (the "Termination Date") which shall be a Business
Day occurring not earlier than 90 days after the date of such notice, and, if
the Termination Date is a Special Termination Date, whether or not Lessee is
thereby electing to purchase the Aircraft on such Special Termination Date as
provided in Section 9(e). The termination of this Lease shall, subject to the
terms and conditions of this Section 9, be effective on (i) if Lessee has not
elected to purchase the Aircraft as provided in Section 9(e) and Lessor has
elected to sell the Aircraft, as provided below, the date of sale of the
Aircraft, if any, referred to in Section 9(b), (ii) if Lessee has not elected
to purchase the Aircraft as provided in Section 9(e) and Lessor has elected to
retain the Aircraft as provided in Section 9(d), the date of termination
referred to in Section 9(d), or (iii) if Lessee has elected to purchase the
Aircraft as provided in Section 9(e), the date of purchase referred to in
Section 9(e). Where Lessee has not elected to purchase the Aircraft as
provided in Section 9(e), Lessor shall give Lessee irrevocable notice of its
election to sell or retain the Aircraft no later than 30 days prior to the
Termination Date. In the event Lessor shall fail to give notice pursuant to
the immediately preceding sentence, notice of its election to sell the Aircraft
shall be deemed to have been given as of such thirtieth day prior to the
Termination Date. Unless Lessor shall have given to Lessee a timely notice of
its election to retain the Aircraft as provided in Section 9(d), Lessee may
withdraw the termination notice referred to above at any time on or prior to
the date three Business Days prior to the Termination Date, whereupon this
Lease shall continue in full force and effect. In the event Lessee withdraws,
on or after the third Business Day prior to the Termination Date, a notice of
termination given pursuant to this Section 9(a) or such notice is deemed
withdrawn pursuant to the final sentence of Section 9(b), Lessee will reimburse
Lessor and the Owner Participant for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by it in connection with the proposed sale, except Lessee shall not be
43
AF-3
48
obligated to reimburse Lessor and the Owner Participant for any out-of-pocket
expenses to the extent Lessor shall have failed to comply with its obligations
under this Section 9. Lessee shall not be entitled to exercise its right of
termination provided for in this Section 9(a) more than four times during the
Term (not including for purposes of this sentence any exercise by Lessee of
such right of termination immediately following a failure of this Lease to be
terminated by reason of Lessor's failure to comply with its obligations under
this Section 9).
(b) Sale of Aircraft. If Lessee has not elected to purchase
the Aircraft as provided in Section 9(e) and Lessor has elected or is deemed to
have elected to sell the Aircraft pursuant to Section 9(a), Lessee will have
the option of acting as non-exclusive agent for Lessor to obtain bids for the
cash purchase on or prior to the Termination Date of the Aircraft. Lessor
agrees to pay Lessee a commercially reasonable brokerage fee based on the then
current industry practice in the event that Lessee locates the Person who
purchases the Aircraft pursuant to this Section 9(b). If Lessee acts as such
agent, no later than ten Business Days prior to the Termination Date, Lessee
shall certify to Lessor in writing the amount and terms of each cash bid
received by Lessee and the name and the address of the Person submitting each
such bid. Lessor may (but need not) also, at its expense (which expense,
including without limitation any broker's or finder's fees, shall be for the
Owner Participant's own account), independently obtain cash bids for such
purchase and, in the event Lessor receives any such bid, Lessor shall promptly,
and in any event at least five Business Days prior to the Termination Date,
certify to Lessee in writing the amount and terms of such bid and the name and
address of the Person submitting such bid. Neither the Owner Participant,
Lessee, nor any Affiliate of either may submit a bid for the Aircraft, directly
or indirectly, in connection with such proposed sale. On the Termination Date
(or such other date of sale as may be agreed to by Lessor and Lessee, which
shall thereafter be deemed the Termination Date), (x) Lessee shall, subject to
receipt (i) by Lessor (or, so long as the Trust Indenture shall not have been
discharged, the Indenture Trustee) of the full purchase price thereof and all
amounts owing to Lessor pursuant to the next sentence, and (ii) by the Persons
entitled thereto of all unpaid Supplemental Rent due on or before the
Termination Date, deliver the Aircraft at a location selected by Lessee to the
Person who
44
AF-3
49
shall have submitted the highest cash bid net of any broker's or finder's fees
(or such other purchaser acceptable to Lessor and Lessee), in the same manner
as if delivery were made to Lessor at the end of the Term pursuant to Section
5, and shall duly transfer to Lessor title to any engines installed on the
Airframe but not owned by Lessor, all in accordance with the terms of Section
5, and (y) Lessor shall simultaneously therewith sell, without recourse or
warranty (except as to Lessor's Liens), for cash all of Lessor's right, title
and interest in and to the Aircraft to such highest net cash bidder (or other
purchaser). The total selling price realized at such sale shall be retained by
Lessor (or, so long as the Trust Indenture shall not have been discharged,
distributed by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the terms of the Trust
Indenture) and, in addition, on the Termination Date, Lessee shall pay to
Lessor or, in the case of Supplemental Rent, to the Persons entitled thereto,
in funds of the type specified in Section 3(d), an amount equal to (I) the sum
of (1) the excess, if any, of (A) the Termination Value for the Aircraft as of
the Termination Date, over (B) the proceeds of the sale of the Aircraft after
deducting the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lessor and the
Owner Participant (including any brokerage fee paid to Lessee or any other
Person), plus (2) all Supplemental Rent (including, without limitation, Break
Amount, if any, on the Certificates) due and owing on the Termination Date,
plus (3) (A) if the Termination Date is a Lease Period Date, the Basic Rent
installment due and payable on that date pursuant to Section 3(b) (it being
understood and agreed that Lessee shall not be required to pay the portion, if
any, of such Basic Rent installment designated in Exhibit A-1 to the Rent
Schedule as being payable in advance), or (B) if the Termination Date is not a
Lease Period Date and if Basic Rent is payable in arrears during the Lease
Period commencing on the Lease Period Date next preceding the Termination Date,
an amount equal to the Accrued Arrears Basic Rent for the period from and
including such Lease Period Date to but excluding the Termination Date, plus
(4) all Basic Rent due and payable prior to the Termination Date and unpaid,
less (II) any credit to which Lessee may be entitled as hereinafter provided in
this Section 9(b). Subject always to the provisions of the penultimate
paragraph of Section 3(b), if the Termination Date with respect to which
Termination Value is determined is not a Lease Period Date and if any portion
of the Basic Rent installment paid in respect of the Lease Period commencing on
the Lease Period
45
AF-3
50
Date next preceding the Termination Date is designated in Exhibit A-1 to the
Rent Schedule as having been payable in advance, Lessee shall be entitled to a
credit against the amounts payable by it pursuant to this Section 9(b) in an
amount equal to the lesser of (x) the Unearned Advance Basic Rent as of the
Termination Date, and (y) the amount, if any, by which the proceeds of the sale
of the Aircraft after deducting the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred
by Lessor and the Owner Participant (including any brokerage fee paid to Lessee
or any other Person) exceeds the Termination Value for the Aircraft as of the
Termination Date; provided that, in the event that the amount calculated
pursuant to this sentence to be credited exceeds the amounts payable by Lessee
pursuant to this Section 9(b), the Owner Participant shall be obligated to
rebate an amount equal to such excess to Lessee. If on or prior to the
scheduled Termination Date no sale of the Aircraft shall have occurred and if
Lessor shall not have elected to retain the Aircraft in accordance with Section
9(d) or Lessee shall not have elected to purchase the Aircraft in accordance
with Section 9(e), Lessee's notice given pursuant to Section 9(a) shall be
deemed to be withdrawn as of such scheduled Termination Date and this Lease
shall continue in full force and effect.
(c) Certain Obligations upon Sale of Aircraft. Upon the sale
of the Aircraft pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Section
9(b), Lessor will transfer to Lessee, without recourse or warranty (except as
to Lessor's Liens), all of Lessor's right, title and interest in and to any
Engines constituting part of the Aircraft but which are not then installed on
the Aircraft. Lessor shall be under no duty to solicit bids, to inquire into
the efforts of Lessee to obtain bids or otherwise take any action in connection
with the sale of the Aircraft under Section 9(b), other than to transfer to the
purchaser of the Aircraft (or to such purchaser and to Lessee, as the case may
be), without recourse or warranty (except as to Lessor's Liens), all of
Lessor's right, title and interest in and to the Aircraft against receipt of
the payments provided for herein, and to pay the amounts, if any, required to
be paid by Lessor under Section 9(b) or this Section 9(c), and to request the
Indenture Trustee upon the sale of the Aircraft pursuant to Section 9(b) to
execute and deliver to such purchaser (or to such purchaser and to Lessee, as
the case may be) an appropriate instrument releasing the Aircraft from the lien
of the Trust Indenture and releasing the Purchase
46
AF-3
51
Agreement and the Purchase Agreement Assignment from the assignment and pledge
under the Trust Indenture. Lessor agrees to notify promptly Lessee of the
appointment by Lessor of any broker or finder (other than Lessee) in connection
with the sale of the Aircraft pursuant to Section 9(b) and, subject to Section
9(b), to pay the fees or commissions of any such broker or finder employed by
Lessor in connection with the sale of the Aircraft pursuant to Section 9(b).
(d) Retention of Aircraft by Lessor. If Lessee has not elected
to purchase the Aircraft as provided in Section 9(e) and Lessor has elected to
retain the Aircraft pursuant to Section 9(a), on the Termination Date specified
in Lessee's termination notice, Lessor shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the
Indenture Trustee funds of the type and in an amount equal to (1) the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of the Certificates and all accrued interest
thereon, plus (2) all other sums due and payable on such Termination Date under
the Trust Indenture, the Participation Agreement or such Certificates including
the Break Amount and Increased Costs, if any. Subject to receipt by the
Indenture Trustee of such funds, on the Termination Date, (i) Lessee (x) shall
deliver the Aircraft to Lessor in the same manner as if delivery were made to
Lessor at the end of the Term pursuant to Section 5, and shall duly transfer to
Lessor title to any engines installed on the Airframe but not owned by Lessor,
all in accordance with the terms of Section 5, and (y) shall pay to Lessor or
to the Persons entitled thereto, in funds of the type specified in Section
3(d), (A) all Supplemental Rent (including, without limitation, Break Amount,
if any, on the Certificates), other than Termination Value, and, if the
Termination Date is a Lease Period Date, the Basic Rent installment due and
payable on that date pursuant to Section 3(b) (it being understood and agreed
that Lessee shall not be required to pay the portion, if any, of such Basic
Rent installment designated in Exhibit A-1 to the Rent Schedule as being
payable in advance) or, if the Termination Date is not a Lease Period Date and
if Basic Rent is payable in arrears during the Lease Period commencing on the
Lease Period Date next preceding the Termination Date, an amount equal to the
Accrued Arrears Basic Rent for the period from and including such Lease Period
Date to but excluding the Termination Date, and all Basic Rent due and payable
prior to the Termination Date and unpaid, less (B) any credit to which Lessee
may be entitled as hereinafter in this Sec-
47
AF-3
52
tion 9(d) provided, and (ii) Lessor (x) shall transfer or cause to be
transferred to Lessee, without recourse or warranty (except as to Lessor's
Liens), all of Lessor's right, title and interest in and to any Engines
constituting part of the Aircraft but which are not then installed on the
Aircraft, and (y) shall request the Indenture Trustee to execute and deliver to
Lessee an appropriate instrument releasing the Aircraft from the lien of the
Trust Indenture and releasing the Purchase Agreement and the Purchase Agreement
Assignment from the assignment and pledge under the Trust Indenture. If the
Termination Date is not a Lease Period Date and if any portion of the Basic
Rent installment paid in respect of the Lease Period commencing on the Lease
Period Date next preceding the Termination Date is designated in Exhibit A-1 to
the Rent Schedule as having been payable in advance, Lessee shall, subject
always to the provisions of the penultimate paragraph of Section 3(b), be
entitled to a credit against the amounts payable by it pursuant to this Section
9(d) in an amount equal to the Unearned Advance Basic Rent as of the
Termination Date; provided that in the event that the Unearned Advance Basic
Rent exceeds the amount payable by Lessee pursuant to this Section 9(d), the
Owner Participant will be obligated to rebate an amount equal to such excess to
Lessee. If Lessor shall fail to perform any of its obligations pursuant to
this Section 9(d) and as a result thereof this Lease shall not be terminated on
a proposed Termination Date, Lessor shall thereafter no longer be entitled to
exercise its election to retain the Aircraft and Lessee may at its option at
any time thereafter submit a new termination notice pursuant to Section 9(a).
(e) Purchase of Aircraft by Lessee. In the event that Lessee
shall have elected to purchase the Aircraft on a Special Termination Date
pursuant to Section 9(a), on such Special Termination Date, Lessee shall
purchase the Aircraft at a price (the "Special Termination Price") equal to the
greater of (I) the Termination Value for the Aircraft, computed as of the
Special Termination Date, and (II) the then fair market sales value of the
Aircraft, as determined by mutual agreement of Lessor and Lessee or, if they
shall be unable to agree, by an Independent Appraisal. On such Special
Termination Date, (x) Lessee (i) shall pay to Lessor or to the Persons entitled
thereto, in funds of the type specified in Section 3 (d), all unpaid
Supplemental Rent (including, without limitation, Break Amount, if any, on the
Certifi-
48
AF-3
53
cates), other than Termination Value, due and owing on such Special Termination
Date, all Basic Rent due and payable prior to the Special Termination Date and
unpaid and the Basic Rent installment due and payable on the Special
Termination Date pursuant to Section 3(b) (it being understood and agreed that
Lessee shall not be required to pay the portion, if any, of such Basic Rent
installment designated in Exhibit A-1 to the Rent Schedule as being payable in
advance) and (ii) at its option shall either (A) pay to Lessor, in funds of the
type specified in Section 3(d), the Special Termination Price, or (B) assume
all of the rights and obligations of the Owner Trustee under the Trust
Indenture in respect of the Certificates (including, without limitation, any
scheduled payment of principal of, Break Amount, if any, on, or accrued
interest on, the Certificates due and payable on the Special Termination Date
but only to the extent that the Basic Rent installment payable by Lessee
pursuant to clause (i) above does not cover such scheduled payment of principal
of or accrued interest on the Certificates but excluding any obligations or
liabilities of the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity incurred on or
prior to the Special Termination Date, which obligations and liabilities shall
remain the sole responsibility of the Owner Trustee) in accordance with Section
2.16 of the Trust Indenture and simultaneously shall pay to Lessor, in funds of
the type specified in Section 3(d), an amount equal to the excess, if any, of
the Special Termination Price over an amount equal to the sum of the principal
of, and any accrued and unpaid interest on, the outstanding Certificates on
such Special Termination Date, after taking into account any payments of
principal or interest made in respect of the outstanding Certificates on such
Special Termination Date, and (y) Lessor will sell to Lessee, without recourse
or warranty (except as to Lessor's Liens), all of Lessor's right, title and
interest in and to the Aircraft and all of Lessor's right, title and interest
in and to any Engines constituting part of the Aircraft but which are not then
installed on the Aircraft and, if Lessee shall not have assumed the rights and
obligations of the Owner Trustee under the Trust Indenture in respect of the
Certificates as provided for above, Lessor will request the Indenture Trustee
to execute and deliver to Lessee an appropriate instrument releasing the
Airframe and Engines with respect to which title is transferred from the lien
of the Trust Indenture and releasing the Purchase Agreement and the Purchase
Agreement Assignment from the assignment and pledge thereunder.

54
(f) Termination of Lease, Etc. Upon the sale or retention or
purchase of the Aircraft, as the case may be, in compliance with the provisions
of this Section 9, (i) the obligation of Lessee to pay Basic Rent under Section
3(b) on any Lease Period Date occurring subsequent to the applicable
Termination Value Determination Date, and (ii) the obligation of Lessee to pay
Supplemental Rent (subject to Section 3(f), other than payments of Supplemental
Rent to be made by Lessee (x) surviving pursuant to Section 7(d) of the
Participation Agreement or Section 10 of the Tax Indemnity Agreement, or (y) in
respect of liabilities and obligations of Lessee which have accrued under any
Operative Document but not been paid or which are in dispute as of the date of
such sale or retention) shall cease as of the Termination Date and, in each
case, the Term shall end effective as of the Termination Date.
(g) Termination as to Engines. So long as no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessee shall have the right at
its option at any time, on at least 60 days' prior written notice to Lessor, to
terminate this Lease with respect to any Engine. In such event, and prior to
the date of such termination, Lessee shall replace such Engine hereunder 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.
Section 10. Loss, Destruction, Requisition, Etc. (a) Event
of Loss with Respect to the Airframe. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Loss
with respect to the Airframe, Lessee shall forthwith (and, in any event, within
30 days after such occurrence) give Lessor notice of such Event of Loss and of
its election to perform one of the following options (it being agreed that, if
Lessee shall not have given notice of such election within such 30 days after
such occurrence, Lessee shall be deemed to have elected to perform the option
set forth in the following clause (ii)):
(i) as promptly as practicable, and in any event on or before
the Business Day next preceding the 121st day next following the date
of occurrence of such Event of Loss, in replacement for the Airframe,
Lessee shall convey or cause to be conveyed to Lessor title to a
Replacement Airframe (together with the same number of Replacement
Engines as the Engines, if any, installed on the Airframe at the
50
AF-3
55
time such Event of Loss occurred) to be leased to Lessee hereunder,
such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines to be free and clear
of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens), to have a value and utility
at least equal to, and to be in as good operating condition as, the
Airframe and Engines, if any, so replaced (assuming such Airframe and
Engines were in the condition and repair required by the terms of this
Lease); provided that, if Lessee shall not perform its obligation to
effect such replacement under this clause (i) during the period of
time provided herein, then Lessee shall pay on the fifteenth day next
following the end of such period to Lessor, or, in the case of
Supplemental Rent, to the Persons entitled thereto, in funds of the
type specified in Section 3(d) hereof, the amounts specified in clause
(ii) below; or
(ii) on or before the earlier of 30 days following the date on
which insurance proceeds are received with respect to such Event of
Loss and the Business Day next preceding the 121st day next following
the date of occurrence of such Event of Loss or on the date specified
in the proviso to clause (i) above, if such proviso is applicable (the
"Loss Payment Date"), Lessee shall pay to Lessor or, in the case of
Supplemental Rent, to the Persons entitled thereto, in funds of the
type specified in Section 3(d), (A) the Stipulated Loss Value for the
Aircraft, determined as of the Loss Payment Date, plus (B) all
Supplemental Rent (including, without limitation, the Break Amount, if
any, on the Certificates) due and owing on such Loss Payment Date,
plus (C) if the Casualty Loss Determination Date with respect to the
Stipulated Loss Value is a Lease Period Date, the Basic Rent
installment due and payable on that date pursuant to Section 3(b) (it
being understood and agreed that Lessee shall not be required to pay
the portion, if any, of such Basic Rent installment designated in
Exhibit A-1 to the Rent Schedule as being payable in advance), plus
(D) all Basic Rent due and payable prior to the Casualty Loss
Determination Date and unpaid.
In the event of payment in full of the Stipulated Loss Value
for the Aircraft and all amounts payable pursuant to this Section 10, (1) the
obligation of Lessee to pay any Basic Rent under Section 3(b) on any Lease
51
AF-3
56
Period Date occurring subsequent to the Casualty Loss Determination Date with
respect to which Stipulated Loss Value is determined shall terminate, (2) the
obligation of Lessee to pay Supplemental Rent (subject to Section 3(f), other
than payments of Supplemental Rent to be made by Lessee (x) surviving pursuant
to Section 10 of the Tax Indemnity Agreement or Section 7(d) of the
Participation Agreement, or (y) in respect of liabilities and obligations of
Lessee which have accrued under any of the Operative Documents but not been
paid or which are in dispute as of the date of such payment) shall terminate,
(3) the Term for the Aircraft shall end, (4) Lessor will transfer to Lessee,
without recourse or warranty (except as to Lessor's Liens), all Lessor's right,
title and interest in and to the Airframe and Engines (if any) with respect to
which such Event of Loss occurred, as well as all Lessor's right, title and
interest in and to any Engines constituting part of the Aircraft but not
installed thereon when such Event of Loss occurred, and (5) Lessor will assign
to or as directed by Lessee all claims of Lessor against third Persons relating
to such Airframe and Engines arising from such Event of Loss. Upon such
transfer, Lessor shall request the Indenture Trustee to execute and deliver to
Lessee an appropriate instrument releasing the Airframe and Engines with
respect to which title is transferred from the lien of the Trust Indenture and
releasing the Purchase Agreement and the Purchase Agreement Assignment from the
assignment and pledge thereof thereunder.
At the time of or prior to any replacement of the Airframe and
such Engines, if any, Lessee, at its own expense, will (A) furnish Lessor with
a warranty (as to title) bill of sale in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Lessor (which warranty shall except Permitted Liens) with
respect to the Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, together
with an assignment of any and all manufacturer's warranties applicable thereto
(to the extent such warranties may be so assigned by Lessee) in a form
substantially similar to the Form of Purchase Agreement Assignment attached as
Exhibit III to the Participation Agreement, (B) cause a Lease Supplement
substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, subjecting such Replacement
Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, to this Lease, and duly executed by
Lessee, to be delivered to Lessor for execution and, upon such execution, to be
filed for recordation pursuant to the Federal Aviation Act or, if necessary,
pursuant to the applicable laws of such jurisdiction other than the United
States of America
52
AF-3
57
in which such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, are to be
registered in accordance with Section 7(a), as the case may be, (C) so long as
the Trust Indenture shall not have been satisfied and discharged, cause a Trust
Agreement and Indenture Supplement substantially in the form of Exhibit A to
the Trust Indenture or other requisite documents or instruments for such
Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, to be delivered to Lessor
and to the Indenture Trustee for execution and, upon such execution, to be
filed for recordation pursuant to the Federal Aviation Act or, if necessary,
pursuant to the applicable laws of such jurisdiction other than the United
States of America in which such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines,
if any, are to be registered in accordance with Section 7(a), as the case may
be, (D) so long as the Trust Indenture shall not have been satisfied and
discharged, cause a financing statement or statements with respect to the
Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, or other requisite
documents or instruments to be filed in such place or places as necessary in
order to perfect the security interest therein created by or pursuant to the
Trust Indenture, or, if necessary, pursuant to the applicable laws of the
jurisdiction in which such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if
any, are to be registered in accordance with Section 7(a), as the case may be,
(E) furnish Lessor and the Indenture Trustee with an opinion of Lessee's
counsel addressed to each (which may be Lessee's General Counsel), to the
effect that the bill of sale referred to in clause (A) above constitutes an
effective instrument for the conveyance of title to the Replacement Airframe
and Replacement Engines, if any, to Lessor and to the further effect that upon
such conveyance such substituted property will be leased hereunder and
subjected to the lien of the Trust Indenture, (F) furnish Lessor with a
certificate of an independent aircraft engineer or appraiser certifying that
the Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, have a value and
utility at least equal to, and are in as good operating condition as, the
Airframe and Engines, if any, so replaced assuming such Airframe and Engines
were in the condition and repair required by the terms hereof immediately prior
to the occurrence of such Event of Loss, (G) furnish Lessor and the Indenture
Trustee with (i) such evidence of compliance with the insurance provisions of
Section 11 with respect to such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines as
Lessor may reasonably request and (ii) a certificate from a Responsible Officer
of Lessee certifying that at the time of such replacement
53
AF-3
58
there is no continuing Event of Default, and (H) furnish Lessor and the
Indenture Trustee with an opinion of Lessee's counsel (which may be Lessee's
General Counsel) addressed to each, to the effect that the Owner Trustee, as
Lessor under the Lease, and the Indenture Trustee, as assignee of the Owner
Trustee's rights under the Lease pursuant to the Indenture, should be entitled
to the benefits of Title 11 U.S.C. Section 1110 with respect to the Replacement
Airframe, provided that (i) such opinion need not be delivered to the extent
that, by reason of a change in law or in judicial or other governmental
interpretation thereof, the benefits of such Section 1110 were not available to
the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Aircraft
immediately prior to such substitution and (ii) such opinion may contain
qualifications and assumptions of the tenor contained in the opinion of
Debevoise & Plimpton delivered pursuant to Section 4(J) of the Participation
Agreement on the Delivery Date. In the case of each Replacement Airframe and
each Replacement Engine, if any, conveyed to Lessor under this Section 10, and
each Replacement Engine conveyed to Lessor under this Section 10, promptly upon
the registration of the Replacement Aircraft and the recordation of the Lease
Supplement and the Trust Agreement and Indenture Supplement or other requisite
documents or instruments covering such Replacement Airframe and Replacement
Engines, if any, or such Replacement Engine pursuant to the Federal Aviation
Act (or pursuant to the applicable laws of the jurisdiction in which such
Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, or such Replacement
Engine, are to be registered in accordance with Section 7(a)), Lessee will
cause to be delivered to Lessor and the Indenture Trustee an opinion of counsel
to Lessee addressed to each as to the due registration of such Replacement
Aircraft, the due recordation of such Lease Supplement and such Trust Agreement
and Indenture Supplement or other requisite documents or instruments and the
validity and perfection of the security interest in the Replacement Aircraft,
Replacement Engines or Replacement Engine, as the case may be, granted to the
Indenture Trustee under the Trust Indenture.
For all purposes hereof, upon passage of title thereto to
Lessor the Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, shall be
deemed part of the property leased hereunder, the Replacement Airframe shall be
deemed an "Airframe" as defined herein, and each such Replacement Engine shall
be deemed an "Engine" as defined herein. No
54
AF-3
59
such replacement of the Airframe or any Engines under the circumstances
contemplated by the terms of this Section 10(a) shall result in any reduction
of Basic Rent. Upon such passage of title, Lessor will transfer to Lessee,
without recourse or warranty (except as to Lessor's Liens), all Lessor's right,
title and interest in and to the replaced Airframe and Engines (if any)
installed thereon at the time such Event of Loss occurred, and upon such
transfer, Lessor will request in writing that the Indenture Trustee execute and
deliver to Lessee an appropriate instrument releasing such replaced Airframe
and Engines (if any) installed thereon at the time such Event of Loss occurred
from the lien of the Indenture and releasing the Purchase Agreement and the
Purchase Agreement Assignment from the assignment and pledge under the
Indenture.
(b) Event of Loss with Respect to an Engine. Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Loss with respect to an Engine under circumstances in
which there has not occurred an Event of Loss with respect to the Airframe,
Lessee shall give Lessor prompt written notice thereof and shall, within 90
days after the occurrence of such Event of Loss, convey or cause to be conveyed
to Lessor, as replacement for the Engine with respect to which such Event of
Loss occurred, title to a Replacement Engine free and clear of all Liens (other
than Permitted Liens) and having a value and utility at least equal to, and
being in as good operating condition as, the Engine with respect to which such
Event of Loss occurred, assuming such Engine was of the value and utility and
in the condition and repair required by the terms hereof immediately prior to
the occurrence of such Event of Loss. Prior to or at the time of any such
conveyance, Lessee, at its own expense, will (i) furnish Lessor with a warranty
(as to title) bill of sale in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Lessor (which warranty shall except Permitted Liens) with respect to such
Replacement Engine, (ii) cause a Lease Supplement substantially in the form of
Exhibit A hereto, subjecting such Replacement Engine to this Lease, and duly
executed by Lessee, to be delivered to Lessor for execution and, upon such
execution, to be filed for recordation pursuant to the Federal Aviation Act,
or, if necessary, pursuant to the applicable laws of such jurisdiction other
than the United States of America in which the Aircraft is registered, (iii) so
long as the Trust Indenture shall not have been satisfied and discharged,
comply with the applicable provisions thereof and cause a Trust Agreement and
Inden-
55
AF-3
60
ture Supplement substantially in the form of Exhibit A to the Trust Indenture
or other requisite documents or instruments for such Replacement Engine to be
delivered to Lessor and to the Indenture Trustee for execution and, upon such
execution, to be filed for recordation pursuant to the Federal Aviation Act or,
if necessary, pursuant to the applicable laws of such jurisdiction other than
the United States of America in which the Aircraft is or is to be registered in
accordance with Section 7(a), as the case may be, (iv) furnish Lessor and the
Indenture Trustee with an opinion of Lessee's counsel addressed to each (which
may be Lessee's General Counsel) to the effect that the bill of sale referred
to in clause (i) above constitutes an effective instrument for the conveyance
of title to such Replacement Engine to Lessor and to the further effect that
upon such conveyance such substituted property will be leased hereunder and
subjected to the lien of the Trust Indenture, (v) furnish Lessor with a
certificate of an aircraft engineer or appraiser (who may be an employee of
Lessee) certifying that such Replacement Engine has a value and utility at
least equal to, and is in as good operating condition as, the Engine so
replaced assuming such Engine was in the condition and repair required by the
terms hereof immediately prior to the occurrence of such Event of Loss, (vi) so
long as the Trust Indenture shall not have been satisfied and discharged, cause
a financing statement or statements with respect to the Replacement Engine or
other requisite documents or instruments to be filed in such place or places as
necessary in order to perfect the security interest therein created by or
pursuant to the Trust Indenture, or, if necessary, pursuant to the applicable
laws of the jurisdiction in which the Aircraft is or is to be registered in
accordance with Section 7(a), as the case may be, and (vii) furnish Lessor and
the Indenture Trustee with such evidence of compliance with the insurance
provisions of Section 11 with respect to such Replacement Engine as Lessor may
reasonably request. Upon full compliance by Lessee with the terms of this
paragraph (b), Lessor will transfer to Lessee, without recourse or warranty
(except as to Lessor's Liens), all of Lessor's right, title and interest in and
to the Engine with respect to which such Event of Loss occurred, and Lessor
will assign to or as directed by Lessee all claims of Lessor against third
Persons relating to such Engine arising from such Event of Loss. In addition,
upon such transfer Lessor shall request in writing that the Indenture Trustee
execute and deliver to Lessee an appropriate instrument releasing such Engine
from the
56
AF-3
61
lien of the Trust Indenture and releasing the Purchase Agreement and the
Purchase Agreement Assignment (in respect solely of such Engine) from the
assignment and pledge under the Trust Indenture. For all purposes hereof, each
such Replacement Engine shall, after such conveyance, be deemed part of the
property leased hereunder and shall be deemed an "Engine" as defined herein.
No Event of Loss with respect to an Engine under the circumstances contemplated
by the terms of this Section 10(b) shall result in any reduction in Basic Rent.
(c) Application of Payments from Governmental Authorities for
Requisition of Title or Use. Any payments (other than insurance proceeds the
application of which is provided for in Section 11) received at any time by
Lessor or by Lessee from any governmental authority or other Person with
respect to an Event of Loss resulting from the condemnation, confiscation,
theft or seizure of, or requisition of title to or use of, the Airframe or any
Engine, other than a requisition for use by any Government or by the government
of the country of registry of the Aircraft not constituting an Event of Loss,
will be applied as follows:
(i) if such payments are received with respect to the Airframe
or the Airframe and the Engines or engines installed on the Airframe
that has been or is being replaced by Lessee pursuant to Section
10(a), such payments shall be paid over to, or retained by, Lessor and
upon completion of such replacement be paid over to, or retained by,
Lessee;
(ii) if such payments are received with respect to the Airframe
or the Airframe and the Engines or engines installed on the Airframe
that has not been and will not be replaced pursuant to Section 10(a),
such payments shall, after reimbursement of Lessor for costs and
expenses, be applied in reduction of Lessee's obligation to pay the
Stipulated Loss Value required to be paid by Lessee pursuant to
Section 10(a), 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 the balance, if any, of such payments
remaining thereafter shall be paid over to, and retained by, Lessee
and Lessor, as their interests may appear; and
57
AF-3
62
(iii) if such payments are received with respect to an Engine
under circumstances contemplated by Section 10(b), so much of such
payments remaining after reimbursement of Lessor for costs and
expenses shall be paid over to, or retained by, Lessee; provided that
Lessee shall have fully performed the terms of Section 10(b) with
respect to the Event of Loss for which such payments are made.
(d) Requisition for Use by the Government of the Airframe and
the Engines Installed Thereon. In the event of the requisition for use by any
Government or by the government of the country of registry of the Aircraft
(including for this purpose any agency or instrumentality thereof), including,
without limitation, pursuant to the Civil Reserve Air Fleet Program referred to
in Section 7(b)(iv), of the Airframe and the Engines or engines installed on
the Airframe during the Term, Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor of such
requisition and all of Lessee's obligations under this Lease with respect to
the Aircraft shall continue to the same extent as if such requisition had not
occurred. All payments received by Lessor or Lessee from such Government or
government for the use of the Airframe and Engines or engines during the Term
for the Aircraft shall be paid over to, or retained by, Lessee. In the case of
any requisition for use by the government of the United States (or any agency
or instrumentality thereof whose obligations bear the full faith and credit of
such government) of the Airframe and Engines or engines installed on the
Airframe that would extend beyond the end of the Term, Lessee at its option
may, by written notice to Lessor given not more than 30 nor less than 10 days
before the end of the Term, elect to declare an Event of Loss with respect to
the Airframe and Engines or engines. Subject to the final paragraph of this
Section 10(d), such Event of Loss will be deemed to have occurred on the final
day of the Term. If Lessee does not so elect to declare an Event of Loss and
(1) such requisition fully terminates and (2) the Airframe and Engines or
engines are returned to Lessee before the first anniversary of the end of the
Term, Lessee shall be obligated to return the Airframe and the Engines or
engines to Lessor pursuant to, and in all other respects to comply with the
provisions of, Section 5 as soon as practicable after the Airframe and Engines
or engines are returned to Lessee unless Lessee shall have exercised its option
to purchase the Aircraft pursuant to Sections 9(e), 20(b) or 20(c). In
addition, Lessee shall pay to Lessor at monthly
58
AF-3
63
intervals (until the earlier of (i) the return of the Aircraft to Lessor
pursuant to Section 5 and (ii) the first anniversary of the end of the Term),
an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (A) the daily equivalent of
the lesser of (x) 50% of the average annual Basic Rent for the Aircraft payable
during the Term (excluding for this purpose the Interim Period) and (y) the
fair market rental value of the Aircraft for such period, and (B) the amounts
received by Lessor from such government for the use of the Aircraft for such
period. All payments received by Lessor or Lessee from such government for the
use of such Airframe and Engines or engines during the first year after the end
of the Term for the Aircraft shall be paid over to, or retained by, Lessor
unless Lessee shall have exercised its option to purchase the Aircraft pursuant
to Section 9(e), 20(b) or 20(c), in which event all such payments received
after such purchase shall be paid over to, or retained by, Lessee.
If an Event of Loss to the Aircraft shall have occurred as a
result of a requisition for use by the government of the United States of
America (or any instrumentality or agency thereof whose obligations bear the
full faith and credit of such government) that shall have extended more than
one year beyond the end of the Term, or if Lessee shall have elected in
accordance with the third sentence of this Section 10(d) to declare an Event of
Loss as a result of any such requisition that would extend beyond the end of
the Term, or if an Event of Loss to the Aircraft shall have occurred as a
result of a requisition for use by any other Government or government that
shall have extended beyond the end of the Term, Lessor (at the direction of the
Owner Participant) at its option may, by written notice to Lessee given not
more than 20 days after receiving notice of any such Event of Loss or election,
waive the occurrence of such Event of Loss. In the event that Lessor waives
the occurrence of an Event of Loss, Lessee shall, no later than the later of
(i) the date on which such Event of Default would have occurred and (ii) the
tenth day after Lessee shall have received such notice from Lessor, transfer to
Lessor all of Lessee's right, title and interest to the Airframe and any Engine
subject to such requisition under the agreement or agreements relating to such
requisition. Upon such transfer, (1) the obligation of Lessee to pay Basic
Rent shall terminate, (2) the obligation of Lessee to pay Supplemental Rent
(subject to Section 3(f), other than payments of Supplemental Rent to be made
by Lessee (x) sur-
59
AF-3
64
viving pursuant to Section 10 of the Tax Indemnity Agreement or Section 7(d) of
the Participation Agreement, (y) pursuant to clause (ii) of the second sentence
of Section 3(c) hereof, or (z) in respect of liabilities and obligations of
Lessee which have accrued under any of the Operative Documents but not been
paid or which are in dispute as of the date of such transfer) shall terminate,
(3) all other obligations of Lessee under the Lease, including, without
limitation, any obligation to return the Aircraft in accordance with Section 5
thereof shall terminate and (4) the Term for the Aircraft shall end. In
addition, in the event that any Engine shall not be subject to such requisition
for use at the time of such transfer, Lessee shall return such Engine to Lessor
in accordance with Section 5 hereof.
(e) Requisition for Use by the Government of an Engine. In
the event of the requisition for use by any Government or by the government of
the country of registry of the Aircraft (including for this purpose any agency
or instrumentality thereof) of any Engine (but not the Airframe), Lessee will
replace such Engine hereunder 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, and any payments received by Lessor or Lessee from such Government or
government with respect to such requisition shall be paid over to, or retained
by, Lessee.
(f) Application of Payments During Existence of Event of
Default. Any amount referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 10(c),
Section 10(d) or Section 10(e) which is payable to Lessee shall not be paid to
Lessee, or if it has been previously paid directly to Lessee, shall not be
retained by Lessee, if at the time of such payment an Event of Default (or
event that with lapse of time would constitute an Event of Default under
Section 14(a), 14(g), 14(h) or 14(i)) shall have occurred and be continuing,
but shall be paid to and held by the Lessor as security for the obligations of
Lessee under this Lease and, subject to the Trust Indenture, applied against
Lessee's payment obligations hereunder when and as they become due and payable,
and at such time as there shall not be continuing any such Event of Default or
event, such amount shall be paid to Lessee to the extent not applied in
accordance with this sentence, provided that if any such amount has been so
held by Lessor as security for more than 90 days after an Event of Default
shall have occurred and during which period (i) Lessor
60
AF-3
65
shall not have been limited by operation of law or otherwise from exercising
remedies hereunder or (ii) Lessor shall not have commenced to exercise any
remedy available to it under Section 15, then such amount shall be paid to
Lessee to the extent not applied as provided above.
Section 11. Insurance. (a) Airline Liability Insurance.
Subject to the rights of Lessee to establish and maintain self-insurance with
respect to bodily injury and property damage liability insurance for aircraft
and engines (including the Aircraft and Engines) in the manner and to the
extent specified in the next sentence, Lessee will carry, or cause to be
carried, at no expense to Lessor, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner
Participant, airline liability insurance (including coverage for bodily injury,
contractual liability, passenger legal liability and property damage liability
(exclusive of manufacturer's product liability insurance)) with respect to the
Aircraft (i) in amounts which are not less than the airline liability insurance
applicable to similar aircraft and engines which comprise Lessee's fleet on
which Lessee carries insurance, provided that such liability insurance shall
not be less than the amount certified to Lessor on the Delivery Date, (ii) of
the type usually carried by corporations engaged in the same or similar
business, similarly situated with Lessee, and owning or operating similar
aircraft and engines and covering risks of the kind customarily insured against
by Lessee (including, without limitation, war risk and allied perils
insurance), and (iii) which is maintained in effect with insurers of recognized
responsibility. Lessee may self-insure, by way of deductible or premium
adjustment provisions in insurance policies, the risks required to be insured
against pursuant to the preceding sentence, but in no case shall the
self-insurance (including the self-insurance permitted by Section 11(b)) with
respect to all of the aircraft and engines in Lessee's fleet (including,
without limitation, the Aircraft) exceed for any 12-month policy year the
lesser of (x) 50% of the largest replacement value of any single aircraft in
Lessee's fleet or (y) 1-1/2% of the average aggregate insurable value (for the
preceding year) of all aircraft (including, without limitation, the Aircraft)
on which Lessee carries insurance; provided that, in the event that there shall
have occurred a material adverse change in the financial condition of Lessee
from such condition as is reflected in the consolidated financial statements of
Lessee at December 31, 1982, then, upon not less than 30 days' written notice
from Lessor to Les-
61
AF-3
66
see, Lessee will, until Lessee's financial condition is on an overall basis
equivalent to its financial condition at December 31, 1982, reduce the
self-insurance permitted hereunder to such reasonable amount as Lessor may
require; provided, further, that a deductible per occurrence utilized to reduce
handling that, in the case of the Aircraft, is not in excess of the amount
customarily allowed as a deductible in the industry, shall be permitted in
addition to the above-mentioned self-insurance. Any policies of insurance
carried in accordance with this Section 11(a) and any policies taken out in
substitution or replacement for any of such policies (A) shall name Lessor, as
lessor of the Aircraft and in its individual capacity, the Indenture Trustee
and each Participant as additional insured as their respective Interests (as
defined below) may appear (and, so long as the Owner Participant is a direct or
indirect subsidiary of American Telephone and Telegraph Company, shall name
AT&T Capital Corporation and American Telephone and Telegraph Company, and all
Affiliates of each, as additional insured), (B) shall provide that in respect
of the respective Interests of Lessor, of the Indenture Trustee and of each
Participant in such policies the insurance shall not be invalidated by any
action or inaction of Lessee and shall insure Lessor's, the Indenture Trustee's
and such Participant's (and, if applicable, the Owner Participant's
Affiliates') Interests as they appear, regardless of any breach or violation of
any warranty, declaration or condition contained in such policies by Lessee,
(C) shall provide that, if such insurance is cancelled for any reason whatever,
or any substantial change is made in the policy which affects the coverage
certified hereunder to Lessor, the Indenture Trustee or any Participant (or, if
applicable, Affiliates of the Owner Participant), or if such insurance is
allowed to lapse for nonpayment of premium, such cancellation, change or lapse
shall not be effective as to Lessor, the Indenture Trustee or such Participant
(or, if applicable, any Affiliate of the Owner Participant) for 30 days (seven
days, or such other period as is customarily obtainable in the industry, in the
case of any war risk and allied perils coverage) after receipt by Lessor, by
the Indenture Trustee or by such Participant, respectively, of written notice
from such insurers of such cancellation, change or lapse, (D) shall provide
that neither Lessor, the Indenture Trustee nor any Participant (or any
Affiliate of the Owner Participant) shall have any obligation or liability for
premiums, commissions, assessments or calls in connection with such insurance,
(E) shall provide that the
62
AF-3
67
insurers shall waive (i) any rights of set-off, counterclaim or any other
deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, which they may have against
Lessor, the Indenture Trustee or any Participant (or any Affiliate of the Owner
Participant) and (ii) any rights of subrogation against Lessor, the Indenture
Trustee or any Participant (or any Affiliate of the Owner Participant) to the
extent that Lessee has waived its rights by its agreements to indemnify any
such party pursuant to this Lease or the Participation Agreement; provided that
the exercise by such insurers of rights of subrogation derived from the rights
retained by Lessee shall not, in any way, delay payment of any claim that would
otherwise be payable by such insurers but for the existence of rights of
subrogation derived from rights retained by Lessee, (F) shall be primary
without right of contribution from any other insurance which may be carried by
Lessor, the Indenture Trustee or any Participant (or any Affiliate of the Owner
Participant) with respect to its Interests as such in the Aircraft and (G)
shall expressly provide that all of the provisions thereof, except the limits
of liability, shall operate in the same manner as if there were a separate
policy covering each insured. "Interests" as used in this Section 11(a) and
Section 11(b) with respect to any Person means the interests of such Person in
its capacity as Lessor, Owner Trustee (including in its individual capacity
under the Participation Agreement), Indenture Trustee or Participant (or, if
applicable, as Affiliates of the Owner Participant), as the case may be, in the
leasing transaction contemplated by this Lease, the Participation Agreement and
the Indenture. Lessee shall arrange for appropriate certification that the
requirements of this Section 11(a) have been met to be made to Lessor, the
Indenture Trustee and the Owner Participant (and the Indenture Trustee may
furnish such certificates to each Loan Participant) as soon as practicable by
each insurer or its authorized representative with respect thereto, provided
that all information contained therein shall be held confidential by Lessor,
the Indenture Trustee and each Participant and shall not be furnished or
disclosed by them to anyone other than (i) their Affiliates and their officers,
directors and employees and those of their Affiliates, (ii) their bank
examiners, auditors, accountants, agents, underwriters, lenders, rating
agencies, insurance brokers and legal counsel, (iii) as required by applicable
law, governmental regulation or judicial process, (iv) to such other Persons as
may be reasonably necessary to enforce Lessor's, the Owner Participant's or
63
AF-3
68
the Indenture Trustee's rights under any Operative Document, (v) to the extent
such information is made public by Lessee (including by filings with the
Federal Aviation Administration or the Securities and Exchange Commission) and
(vi) any Person with whom any Participant is in good faith conducting
negotiations relating to the possible transfer and sale of such Participant's
Certificates or interest in the Aircraft, as the case may be, if such Person
shall have entered into an agreement similar to that contained in this Section
11(a) whereby such Person agrees to hold such information confidential, and
except as may be required by an order of any court or administrative agency or
by any statute, rule, regulation or order of any governmental authority. In
the case of a sublease or contract with any Government in respect of the
Aircraft or any Engine, or in the case of any requisition for use of the
Aircraft or any Engine by any Government, a valid agreement, reasonably
satisfactory to Lessor and the Owner Participant, to indemnify Lessee against
any of the risks which Lessee is required hereunder to insure against by such
Government shall be considered adequate insurance to the extent of the risks
and in the amounts that are the subject of any such agreement to indemnify.
(b) Insurance Against Loss or Damage to Aircraft. Subject to
the rights of Lessee to establish and maintain self-insurance with respect to
loss or damage to aircraft (including the Aircraft) in the manner and to the
extent specified in the next sentence, Lessee shall maintain, or cause to be
maintained, in effect with insurers of recognized responsibility, at no expense
to Lessor, the Indenture Trustee or any Participant, all-risk aircraft hull
insurance covering the Aircraft and all-risk coverage with respect to any
Engines or Parts while removed from the Aircraft (including, without
limitation, war risk and allied perils insurance if and to the extent the same
is maintained by Lessee or other United States air carriers as to which there
are in force certificates issued pursuant to Section 401 of the Federal
Aviation Act (or any successor provision that gives like authority) and which
are engaged in the same or similar business and are similarly situated with
Lessee with respect to similar aircraft owned or operated by Lessee or by such
United States air carriers, as the case may be, on the same routes) which is of
the type and in substantially the amount usually carried by corporations
engaged in the same or similar business and similarly situated with Lessee;
provided that (i) such insurance (including the permitted
64
AF-3
69
self-insurance) shall at all times while the Aircraft is subject to this Lease
be for an amount not less than the Stipulated Loss Value for the Aircraft from
time to time and (ii) such insurance need not cover an Engine while attached to
an airframe not owned, leased or operated by Lessee. Lessee may self-insure,
by way of deductible or premium adjustment provisions in insurance policies,
the risks required to be insured against pursuant to the preceding sentence,
but in no case shall the self-insurance (including the self-insurance permitted
by Section 11(a)) with respect to all of the aircraft and engines in Lessee's
fleet (including, without limitation, the Aircraft) exceed for any 12-month
policy year the lesser of (i) 50% of the largest replacement value of any
single aircraft in Lessee's fleet or (ii) 1-1/2% of the average aggregate
insurable value (for the preceding year) of all aircraft (including, without
limitation, the Aircraft) on which Lessee carries insurance; provided that, in
the event that there shall have occurred a material adverse change in the
financial condition of Lessee from such condition as is reflected in the
consolidated financial statements of Lessee at December 31, 1982, then, upon
not less than 30 days' written notice from Lessor to Lessee, Lessee will, until
Lessee's financial condition is on an overall basis equivalent to its financial
condition at December 31, 1982, reduce the self-insurance permitted hereunder
to such reasonable amount as Lessor may require; provided, further, that a
deductible per occurrence utilized to reduce handling that, in the case of the
Aircraft, is not in excess of the amount customarily allowed as a deductible in
the industry, shall be permitted in addition to the above-mentioned
self-insurance. Any policies carried in accordance with this Section 11(b) and
any policies taken out in substitution or replacement for any such policies (A)
shall provide that any loss up to the amount of Stipulated Loss Value for any
loss or damage constituting an Event of Loss with respect to the Aircraft, and
any loss in excess of $7,000,000, up to the amount of Stipulated Loss Value,
for any loss or damage to the Aircraft (or Engines) not constituting an Event
of Loss with respect to the Aircraft, shall be paid to the Indenture Trustee as
long as the Trust Indenture shall not have been discharged pursuant to the
terms and conditions thereof, and thereafter to Lessor, unless, in each case,
the insurer shall have received notice that an Event of Default exists, in
which case all insurance proceeds up to Stipulated Loss Value shall be payable
to the Indenture Trustee or Lessor, as the case may be, (B) shall provide
65
AF-3
70
that in respect of the respective Interests of Lessor, of the Indenture Trustee
and of each Participant in such policies the insurance shall not be invalidated
by any action or inaction of Lessee and shall insure Lessor's, the Indenture
Trustee's and such Participant's Interests, as they appear, regardless of any
breach or violation of any warranty, declaration or condition contained in such
policies by Lessee, (C) shall provide that, if such insurance is cancelled for
any reason whatever, or any material change is made in the policy which affects
the coverage certified hereunder to Lessor, the Indenture Trustee or any
Participant, or if such insurance is allowed to lapse for nonpayment of
premium, such cancellation, change or lapse shall not be effective as to
Lessor, the Indenture Trustee or such Participant for 30 days (seven days, or
such other period as may from time to time be customarily obtainable in the
industry, in the case of any war risk and allied perils coverage) after receipt
by Lessor, the Indenture Trustee or such Participant, respectively, of written
notice from such insurers of such cancellation, change or lapse, (D) shall be
primary without right of contribution from any other insurance which may be
carried by Lessor, the Indenture Trustee or any Participant with respect to its
Interests as such in the Aircraft and (E) shall provide that the insurers shall
waive (i) any rights of set-off, counterclaim or any other deduction, whether
by attachment or otherwise, which they may have against Lessor, the Indenture
Trustee or any Participant and (ii) any rights of subrogation against Lessor,
the Indenture Trustee and any Participant to the extent that Lessee has waived
its rights by its agreements to indemnify any such party pursuant to this Lease
or the Participation Agreement; provided that the exercise by such insurers of
rights of subrogation derived from rights retained by Lessee shall not, in any
way, delay payment of any claim that would otherwise be payable by such
insurers but for the existence of rights of subrogation derived from rights
retained by Lessee. Lessee shall arrange for appropriate certification that
the requirements of this Section 11(b) have been met to be made promptly to
Lessor, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Participant (and the Indenture
Trustee shall furnish such certification to each Loan Participant) by each
insurer or its authorized representative with respect thereto, provided that
all information contained therein shall be held confidential by Lessor, the
Indenture Trustee and each Participant and shall not be furnished or disclosed
by them to anyone other than (i) their Affiliates and their officers, directors
and
66
AF-3
71
employees and those of their Affiliates, (ii) their bank examiners, auditors,
accountants, agents, underwriters, lenders, rating agencies, insurance brokers
and legal counsel, (iii) as required by applicable law, governmental regulation
or judicial process, (iv) to such other Persons as may be reasonably necessary
to enforce Lessor's, the Owner Participant's or the Indenture Trustee's rights
under any Operative Document, (v) to the extent such information is made public
by Lessee (including by filings with the Federal Aviation Administration or the
Securities and Exchange Commission) and (vi) any Person with whom any
Participant is in good faith conducting negotiations relating to the possible
transfer and sale of such Participant's Certificates or interest in the
Aircraft, as the case may be, if such Person shall have entered into an
agreement similar to that contained in this Section 11(b) whereby such Person
agrees to hold such information confidential, and except as may be required by
an order of any court or administrative agency or by any statute, rule,
regulation or order of any governmental authority. In the case of a sublease
or contract with any Government in respect of the Aircraft or any Engine, or in
the case of any requisition for use of the Aircraft or any Engine by any
Government, a valid agreement, reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and the Owner
Participant, to indemnify Lessee against any of the risks which Lessee is
required hereunder to insure against by such Government in any amount up to the
Stipulated Loss Value of the Aircraft from time to time shall be considered
adequate insurance to the extent of the risks and in the amounts that are the
subject of any such agreement to indemnify.
As between Lessor and Lessee it is agreed that all insurance
payments received under policies required to be maintained by Lessee hereunder,
exclusive of any payments received in excess of the Stipulated Loss Value for
the Aircraft from such policies, as the result of the occurrence of an Event of
Loss with respect to the Airframe or an Engine will be applied as follows:
(x) if such payments are received with respect to the Airframe
or the Airframe and any Engines or engines installed on the Airframe
that has been or is being replaced by Lessee as contemplated by
Section 10(a), such payments shall be paid over to, or retained by,
Lessor, and upon completion of such replacement be paid over to, or
retained by, Lessee;
67
AF-3
72
(y) if such payments are received with respect to the Airframe
or the Airframe and any Engines or engines installed thereon that has
not been and will not be replaced as contemplated by Section 10(a), so
much of such payments remaining after reimbursement of Lessor for
costs and expenses as shall not exceed the Stipulated Loss Value
required to be paid by Lessee pursuant to Section 10(a) shall be
applied in reduction of Lessee's obligation to pay such Stipulated
Loss Value, 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 the balance, if any, of such payment
remaining thereafter will be paid over to, or retained by, Lessee; and
(z) if such payments are received with respect to an Engine
under the circumstances contemplated by Section 10(b), so much of such
payments remaining after reimbursement of Lessor for costs and
expenses shall be paid over to, or retained by, Lessee; provided that
Lessee shall have fully performed the terms of Section 10(b) with
respect to the Event of Loss for which such payments are made.
As between Lessor and Lessee the insurance payment for any
loss or damage to the Aircraft in excess of the Stipulated Loss Value for the
Aircraft shall be paid to Lessee.
As between Lessor and Lessee the insurance payments for any
loss or damage to the Airframe or an Engine not constituting an Event of Loss
with respect to the Airframe or such Engine will be applied in payment (or to
reimburse Lessee) for repairs or for replacement property in accordance with
the terms of Sections 7 and 8, and any balance remaining after compliance with
such Sections with respect to such loss shall be paid to Lessee. Any amount
referred to in the preceding sentence or in clause (x), (y) or (z) of the
second preceding paragraph which is payable to Lessee shall not be paid to
Lessee or, if it has been previously paid directly to Lessee, shall not be
retained by Lessee, if at the time of such payment an Event of Default (or
event that with lapse of time would constitute an Event of Default under
Section 14(a), 14(g), 14(h) or 14(i)) shall have occurred and be continuing,
but shall be paid to and held by the Indenture Trustee, or if the Trust
Indenture shall have been terminated pursuant to
68
AF-3
73
the terms thereof, Lessor, as security for the obligations of Lessee under this
Lease, and may be applied against Lessee's payment obligations hereunder when
and as they become due and payable, and at such time as there shall not be
continuing any such Event of Default or event, such amount shall be paid to
Lessee, to the extent not applied in accordance with this sentence, provided
that if any such amount has been so held by Lessor as security for more than 90
days after an Event of Default shall have occurred and during which period (i)
Lessor shall not have been limited by operation of law or otherwise from
exercising remedies hereunder and (ii) Lessor shall not have exercised any
remedy available to it under Section 15, then such amount shall be paid to
Lessee.
(c) Reports, Etc. On or before the Delivery Date, and
annually upon renewal of Lessee's insurance coverage, Lessee will furnish to
Lessor, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Participant (and the Indenture
Trustee shall furnish to each Loan Participant) a report signed by a firm of
independent aircraft insurance brokers appointed by Lessee, stating the opinion
of such firm that the insurance then carried and maintained on the Aircraft
complies with the terms hereof; provided that all information contained in such
report shall be held confidential by Lessor, the Indenture Trustee and each
Participant and shall not be furnished or disclosed by them to anyone other
than (i) their Affiliates and their officers, directors and employees and those
of their Affiliates, (ii) their bank examiners, auditors, accountants, agents,
underwriters, lenders, rating agencies, insurance brokers and legal counsel,
(iii) as required by applicable law, governmental regulation or judicial
process, (iv) to such other Persons as may be reasonably necessary to enforce
Lessor's, the Owner Participant's or the Indenture Trustee's rights under any
Operative Document, (v) to the extent such information is made public by Lessee
(including by filings with the Federal Aviation Administration or the
Securities and Exchange Commission) and (vi) any Person with whom any
Participant is in good faith conducting negotiations relating to the possible
transfer and sale of such Participant's Certificates or interest in the
Aircraft, as the case may be, if such Person shall have entered into an
agreement similar to that contained in this Section 11(c) whereby such Person
agrees to hold such information confidential, and except as may be required by
an order of any court or administrative agency or by any statute, rule,
regulation or order of any governmental
69
AF-3
74
authority. Lessee will cause such firm to advise Lessor, the Indenture Trustee
and the Owner Participant, in writing promptly of any default in the payment of
any premium and of any other act or omission on the part of Lessee of which
such firm has knowledge and which might invalidate or render unenforceable, in
whole or in part, any insurance on the Aircraft. Lessee will also cause such
firm to advise Lessor, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Participant, in
writing as promptly as practicable after such firm acquires knowledge that an
interruption or reduction of any insurance carried and maintained on the
Aircraft pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11 will occur.
(d) Insurance for Own Account. Nothing in this Section 11
shall limit or prohibit the Owner Participant (either directly or in the name
of the Owner Trustee) or Lessee from obtaining insurance for its own account
with respect to the Airframe or any Engine and any proceeds payable thereunder
shall be payable as provided in the insurance policy relating thereto, provided
that (i) no such insurance may be obtained which would limit or otherwise
adversely affect the coverage or amounts payable under insurance required to be
maintained pursuant to this Section 11, it being understood that all salvage
rights to the Airframe or such Engine shall remain with Lessee's insurers at
all times, and (ii) the Owner Participant may obtain hull insurance on the
Aircraft only to the extent the procurement of such insurance does not have an
adverse effect on Lessee's ability or cost to obtain such insurance, except
that the limitation in the foregoing clause (i) on the Owner Participant's
right to obtain liability insurance shall not apply during any period in which
Lessee is providing a Government indemnity in lieu of the liability insurance
required by Section 11(a) and the limitations in clauses (i) and (ii) on the
Owner Participant's rights to obtain hull insurance shall not apply during any
period in which Lessee is providing a Government indemnity in lieu of the hull
insurance required by Section 11(b).
Section 12. Inspection. At all reasonable times during the
Term, but upon at least 5 days' prior written notice to Lessee, Lessor or the
Indenture Trustee or any of their respective authorized representatives may at
their own expense and risk conduct a visual walk-around inspection of the
Aircraft and any Engine (including a visual walk-around inspection of the
Aircraft during any regularly scheduled heavy maintenance visit for the Air-
70
AF-3
75
craft conducted by Lessee during the Term) and may inspect the books and
records of Lessee relating thereto; provided that (a) such representatives
shall be fully insured to the reasonable satisfaction of Lessee by Lessor or
the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, with respect to any risks incurred
in connection with any such inspection, (b) any such inspection shall be
subject to the safety, security and workplace rules applicable at the location
where such inspection is conducted and any applicable governmental rules or
regulations and (c) in the case of an inspection during a maintenance visit,
such inspection shall not in any respect interfere with the normal conduct of
such maintenance visit or extend the time required for such maintenance visit.
All information obtained in connection with any such inspection shall be held
confidential by Lessor, the Indenture Trustee and each Participant and shall
not be furnished or disclosed by them to anyone other than (i) their Affiliates
and their officers, directors and employees and those of their Affiliates, (ii)
their bank examiners, auditors, accountants, agents, legal counsel,
underwriters, lenders, rating agencies and authorized insurance brokers, (iii)
as required by applicable law, governmental regulation or judicial process,
(iv) to such other Persons as may be reasonably necessary to enforce Lessor's,
the Owner Participant's or the Indenture Trustee's rights, (v) to the extent
such information is made public by Lessee (including by filings with the
Federal Aviation Administration or the Securities and Exchange Commission) and
(vi) any Person with whom any Participant is in good faith conducting
negotiations relating to the possible transfer and sale of such Participant's
Certificates or interest in the Aircraft, as the case may be, if such Person
shall have entered into an agreement similar to that contained in this Section
12 whereby such Person agrees to hold such information confidential, and except
as may be required by an order of any court or administrative agency or by any
statute, rule, regulation or order of any governmental authority or as may be
necessary for the enforcement of this Lease by Lessor. Lessee will, upon the
request of Lessor or the Indenture Trustee at any time, notify Lessor or the
Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, of the time and location of the next
scheduled heavy maintenance visit to be conducted by Lessee in respect of the
Aircraft during the Term; provided that Lessee shall have the right in its sole
discretion to reschedule, or change the location of, any maintenance visit of
which it shall have notified Lessor or the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this
sentence,
71
AF-3
76
Lessee hereby agreeing to use reasonable efforts to notify Lessor or the
Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, of any such rescheduling or change.
None of Lessor, the Indenture Trustee or any Participant shall have any duty to
make any such inspection and shall not incur any liability or obligation by
reason of not making any such inspection. No inspection pursuant to this
Section 12 shall relieve Lessee of any of its obligations under this Lease. No
inspection pursuant to this Section 12 shall interfere with the use, operation
or maintenance of the Aircraft or the normal conduct of Lessee's business, and
Lessee shall not be required to undertake or incur any additional liabilities
in connection therewith.
Section 13. Assignment, Citizenship, Etc. Except as
otherwise provided in Section 7(b) or in the case of any requisition for use by
any Government referred to in Section 7(a), Lessee will not, without the prior
written consent of Lessor, assign any of its rights hereunder, except as
permitted by Section 13 of the Participation Agreement. Except as elsewhere
herein provided or as expressly permitted by the provisions of the
Participation Agreement, Lessor agrees that it will not assign or convey its
right, title and interest in and to this Lease or the Aircraft; provided,
however, that, in each case where so provided or permitted, the transferee
shall be domiciled in the United States, shall be a "citizen of the United
States" within the meaning of Section 101(16) of the Federal Aviation Act and
shall assume all of the obligations of Lessor under this Lease. To the extent
required to entitle the Owner Trustee as Lessor under this Lease to the
benefits of Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code, Lessee shall maintain in force
a certificate issued pursuant to Section 401 of the Federal Aviation Act or any
successor provision that gives like authority. The terms and provisions of
this Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Lessor and Lessee
and their respective permitted successors and assigns.
Section 14. Events of Default. The following events shall
constitute Events 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) and each such
Event of Default shall be deemed to exist and continue so long as, but only as
long as, it shall not have been remedied:
72
AF-3
77
(a) Lessee shall fail to make any payment of Basic Rent,
Stipulated Loss Value or Termination Value within 15 days after the
same shall have become due or of any other amount of Supplemental Rent
within 15 days after written notice of such failure by Lessor; or
(b) Lessee shall fail to carry and maintain insurance on or
with respect to the Aircraft in accordance with the provisions of
Section 11; provided that, in the case of insurance with respect to
which cancellation, change or lapse for nonpayment of premium shall
not be effective as to Lessor, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner
Participant (or, if applicable, any Affiliate of the Owner
Participant) for 30 days (seven days, or such other period as may from
time to time be customarily obtainable in the industry, in the case of
any war risk and allied perils coverage) after receipt of notice by
Lessor, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Participant of such
cancellation, change or lapse, no such failure to carry and maintain
insurance shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder until the
earlier of (i) the date such failure shall have continued unremedied
for a period of 20 days (five days in the case of any war risk and
allied perils coverage) after receipt by Lessor of the notice of
cancellation, change or lapse referred to in Section 11(a)(C) or
11(b)(C), or (ii) such insurance not being in effect as to any of
Lessor, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Participant (or, if
applicable, any Affiliate of the Owner Participant); or
(c) Lessee shall operate the Aircraft at a time when public
liability insurance required by Section 11(a) shall not be in effect;
or
(d) Lessee shall fail to perform or observe any other
covenant, condition or agreement to be performed or observed by it
hereunder or under the Participation Agreement, any Lease Supplement,
the Bills of Sale or the Purchase Agreement Assignment, and such
failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days after
written notice thereof by Lessor; provided that, if such failure is
capable of being remedied, so long as Lessee is diligently proceeding
to remedy such failure (other than a failure
73
AF-3
78
to perform or observe the provisions of the penultimate sentence of
Section 13), no such failure shall constitute an Event of Default
hereunder for a period of up to 365 days; or
(e) any material representation or warranty made by Lessee in
this Lease or in the Participation Agreement, any Lease Supplement,
the Bills of Sale or the Purchase Agreement Assignment or in any
document furnished by Lessee pursuant hereto or thereto (other than in
the Tax Indemnity Agreement or any document furnished by Lessee
pursuant thereto) shall prove to have been incorrect in any material
respect at the time made, and such incorrectness shall continue to be
material and unremedied for a period of 30 days after written notice
thereof by Lessor; or
(f) Lessee shall consent to the appointment of a receiver,
trustee or liquidator of itself or of a substantial 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
(g) Lessee shall file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or a
voluntary petition or an answer seeking reorganization in a proceeding
under any bankruptcy laws (as now or hereafter in effect) or an answer
admitting the material allegations of a petition filed against Lessee
in any such proceeding, or Lessee shall by voluntary petition or
answer, consent to or seek relief under the provisions of any other
now existing or future bankruptcy or other similar law providing for
the reorganization or winding-up of corporations, or providing for an
agreement, composition, extension or adjustment with its creditors; or
(h) 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 sequestering any substantial part
of the property of Lessee, and any such order, judgment, or decree of
appointment or sequestration shall remain in force undismissed,
unstayed or unvacated for a period of 90 days after the date of entry
thereof; or
74
AF-3
79
(i) a petition against Lessee in a proceeding under the Federal
bankruptcy laws or other insolvency laws, as now or hereafter in
effect, shall be filed and shall not be withdrawn or dismissed within
90 days thereafter, or, 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 90
days;
provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Lease, any failure of Lessee to perform or observe any covenant, condition, or
agreement herein shall not constitute an Event of Default if such failure is
caused solely by reason of an event referred to in the definition of "Event of
Loss" so long as Lessee is continuing to comply with the applicable terms of
Section 10.
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, at its option, declare this Lease to be in default by a written
notice to Lessee (provided that this Lease shall be deemed to have been
declared in default without the necessity of such written notice upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default described in paragraph (g), (h) or (i) of
Section 14 hereof); and at any time thereafter, so long as Lessee shall not
have remedied all outstanding Events of Default, Lessor may do one or more of
the following with respect to all or any part of the Airframe and any Engines
as Lessor in its sole discretion shall elect, to the extent permitted by, and
subject to compliance with any mandatory requirements of, applicable law then
in effect; provided that during any period when the Aircraft is subject to the
Civil Reserve Air Fleet Program in accordance with the provisions of Section
7(b) and in the possession of the United States government or an
instrumentality or agency thereof, Lessor shall not, on account of any Event of
Default, be entitled to do any of the following in such manner as to limit
Lessee's control under this Lease (or any sublessee's control under any
sublease permitted by the terms of this Lease) of any Airframe or any Engines,
unless at least 60 days' (or such lesser period as may then be applicable under
the Military Airlift Command Program of the United States Government) prior
written notice of
75
AF-3
80
default hereunder shall have been given by Lessor by registered or certified
mail to Lessee (or any sublessee) with a copy addressed to the Contracting
Office Representative for the Military Airlift Command of the United States Air
Force under any contract with Lessee (or any sublessee) relating to the
Aircraft:
(a) cause Lessee, upon the written demand of Lessor and at
Lessee's expense, to return promptly, and Lessee shall return
promptly, all or such part of the Airframe or any Engine as Lessor may
so demand to Lessor or its order in the manner and condition required
by, and otherwise in accordance with all the provisions of, Section 5,
as if the Airframe or such Engine were being returned at the end of
the Term, or Lessor, at its option, may enter upon the premises where
all or any part of the Airframe or any Engine are located and take
immediate possession of and remove the same (together with any engine
which is not an Engine but which is installed on the Airframe, subject
to all of the rights of the owner, lessor, lienor or secured party of
such engine; provided that the Airframe with an engine (which is not
an Engine) installed thereon may be flown or returned only to a
location within the continental United States, and such engine shall
be held for the account of any such owner, lessor, lienor or secured
party or, if owned by Lessee, may, at the option of Lessor, be
exchanged with Lessee for an Engine in accordance with the provisions
of Section 5(b)) by summary proceedings or otherwise, all without
liability accruing to Lessor for or by reason of such entry or taking
of possession or removal, whether for the restoration of damage to
property caused by such taking or otherwise;
(b) sell all or any part of the Airframe and any Engine at
public or private sale, whether or not Lessor shall at the time have
possession thereof, as Lessor may determine, or otherwise dispose of,
hold, use, operate, lease to others or keep idle all or any part of
the Airframe or such Engine as Lessor, in its sole discretion, may
determine, all free and clear of any rights of Lessee except as
hereinafter set forth 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 such
para-
76
AF-3
81
graph (d) in lieu of its rights under paragraph (c) below;
(c) whether or not Lessor shall have exercised, or shall
thereafter at any time exercise, any of its rights under paragraph (a)
or paragraph (b) above with respect to all or any part of the Airframe
or any Engine, Lessor, by written notice to Lessee specifying a
payment date (which date shall be deemed to be a "Termination Date"
for purposes of computing Termination Value) which shall be not
earlier than 30 days from the date of such notice, may demand that
Lessee pay to Lessor, and Lessee shall pay Lessor, on the payment date
specified in such notice, as liquidated damages for loss of a bargain
and not as a penalty (in lieu of the Basic Rent due for Lease Periods
commencing on or after the Lease Period Date next preceding the
payment date specified in such notice), if the Termination Date is a
Lease Period Date, the Basic Rent installment due and payable on that
date pursuant to Section 3(b) (it being understood and agreed that
Lessee shall not be required to pay the portion, if any, of such Basic
Rent installment designated in Exhibit A-1 to the Rent Schedule as
being payable in advance) or, if the Termination Date is not a Lease
Period Date and if Basic Rent is payable in arrears during the Lease
Period commencing on the Lease Period Date next preceding the
Termination Date, an amount equal to the Accrued Arrears Basic Rent
for the period from and including such Lease Period Date to but
excluding the Termination Date, less any credit to which Lessee shall
be entitled as hereinafter in this Section 15(c) provided, plus
whichever of the following amounts Lessor, in its sole discretion,
shall specify in such notice (together with interest, if any, on such
amount at the applicable Overdue Rate from the Termination Date to but
excluding the date of actual payment): (i) an amount equal to the
excess, if any, of the Termination Value for the Airframe or such
Engine or part thereof, computed as of the payment date specified in
such notice, over the aggregate fair market rental value (computed as
hereafter provided in this Section 15) of the Airframe or such Engine
or part thereof for the remainder of the Term, after discounting such
aggregate fair market rental value semi-annually (effective on the
Lease Period Dates) to present worth as of the payment date specified
in
77
AF-3
82
such notice at the Assumed Debt Rate; or (ii) an amount equal to the
excess, if any, of the Termination Value for the Airframe or such
Engine or part thereof computed as of the payment date specified in
such notice, over the fair market sales value (computed as hereafter
provided in this Section 15) of the Airframe or such Engine or part
thereof as of the payment date specified in such notice; provided that
if the Termination Date is not a Lease Period Date and if any portion
of the Basic Rent installment paid in respect of the Lease Period
commencing on the Lease Period Date next preceding the Termination
Date is designated in Exhibit A-1 to the Rent Schedule as having been
payable in advance, Lessee shall, if and so long as it shall have paid
in full all Rent otherwise payable by it hereunder or pursuant hereto,
be entitled to a credit against the amounts payable by it pursuant to
this Section 15(c) in an amount equal to the lesser of the Unearned
Advance Basic Rent as of the Termination Date and the amount, if any,
by which such aggregate fair market rental value or such fair market
sales value, as the case may be, exceeds such Termination Value; and
provided, further, that in the event that the amount calculated
pursuant to this sentence to be credited exceeds the amount payable by
Lessee pursuant to this Section 15(c) and any other amounts payable by
Lessee hereunder as a result of the applicable Event of Default or the
exercise of Lessor's remedies with respect thereto, the Owner
Participant will be obligated to rebate an amount equal to such excess
to Lessee;
(d) in the event Lessor, pursuant to paragraph (b) above,
shall have sold all or any part of the Airframe or any Engine, Lessor,
in lieu of exercising its rights under paragraph (c) above with
respect to the Airframe or such Engine or part thereof, may, if it
shall so elect, demand that Lessee pay Lessor, and Lessee shall pay to
Lessor, on the date of such sale (which date shall be deemed a
"Termination Date" for purposes of computing Termination Value), as
liquidated damages for loss of a bargain and not as a penalty (in lieu
of the Basic Rent due for Lease Periods commencing on or after the
Lease Period Date next preceding the date of such sale), if the
Termination Date is a Lease Period Date, the Basic Rent installment
due and payable on that date pursuant to Section 3(b) (it being
understood and
78
AF-3
83
agreed that Lessee shall not be required to pay the portion, if
any, of such Basic Rent installment designated in Exhibit A-1 to the
Rent Schedule as being payable in advance) or, if the Termination Date
is not a Lease Period Date and if Basic Rent is payable in arrears
during the Lease Period commencing on the Lease Period Date next
preceding the Termination Date, an amount equal to the Accrued Arrears
Basic Rent for the period from and including such Lease Period Date to
but excluding the Termination Date, less any credit to which Lessee
shall be entitled as hereinafter in this Section 15(d) provided, plus
the amount of any deficiency between the net proceeds of such sale and
the Termination Value for the Airframe or such Engine or part thereof,
computed as of the date of such sale; provided that if the Termination
Date is not a Lease Period Date and if any portion of the Basic Rent
installment paid in respect of the Lease Period commencing on the
Lease Period Date next preceding the Termination Date is designated in
Exhibit A-1 to the Rent Schedule as having been payable in advance,
Lessee shall, if and so long as it shall have paid in full all Rent
otherwise payable by it hereunder or pursuant hereto, be entitled to a
credit against the amounts payable by it pursuant to this Section
15(d) in an amount equal to the lesser of the Unearned Advance Basic
Rent as of the Termination Date and the amount, if any, by which such
net proceeds of such sale exceed such Termination Value; and provided,
further, that in the event that the amount calculated pursuant to this
sentence to be credited exceeds the amount payable by Lessee pursuant
to this Section 15(d) and any other amounts payable by Lessee
hereunder as a result of the applicable Event of Default or the
exercise of Lessor's remedies with respect thereto, the Owner
Participant will be obligated to rebate an amount equal to such excess
to Lessee; and
(e) Lessor may rescind this Lease as to the Airframe and any
or all Engines, or may exercise any other right or remedy which may be
available to it under applicable law or proceed by appropriate court
action to enforce the terms or to recover damages for the breach
hereof.
In addition, Lessee shall be liable, except as otherwise
provided in paragraphs (c) and (d) above and
79
AF-3
84
without limiting the effect of the penultimate sentence of Section 3(c),
without duplication of any amounts payable hereunder, for any and all unpaid
Rent due hereunder before, after or during the exercise of any of the foregoing
remedies and for all legal fees and other costs and expenses incurred by reason
of the occurrence of any Event of Default or the exercise of Lessor's remedies
with respect thereto, including all costs and expenses incurred in connection
with the retaking or return of the Airframe or any Engine in accordance with
the terms of Section 5 or in placing such Airframe or Engine in the condition
and airworthiness required by such Section; provided that, if Lessee returns or
surrenders possession of all or any part of the Airframe or any Engine in
accordance with this Section 15 and Lessor does not within 365 days after the
date of such return or surrender exercise its rights under paragraph (c) or (d)
above with respect to such Airframe or Engine or part thereof, there shall be
deducted from each payment of Basic Rent becoming due after the expiration of
such 365-day period an amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the
aggregate fair market rental value (computed as hereafter provided in this
Section 15) of such Airframe or Engine or part thereof, for the remainder of
the Term after the expiration of such 365-day period (computed as of the date
of such expiration), by the number of Basic Rent installments remaining with
respect to the Aircraft after the expiration of such 365-day period to the end
of the Term; and provided, further, that Lessor and Lessee agree that,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, the Trust
Indenture, the Participation Agreement, the Tax Indemnity Agreement or any
other document or instrument relating hereto or thereto, Lessee shall have no
responsibility or liability for any amounts payable to any Loan Participant in
respect of the Break Amount, if any, payable with respect to the Certificates
as a result of (x) a purchase of the Certificates pursuant to Section 2.13 of
the Trust Indenture as a result of an Indenture Default that does not also
constitute an Event of Default or (y) an Indenture Default that does not also
constitute an Event of Default. For purposes of paragraph (c) above and the
preceding sentence, the "aggregate fair market rental value" or the "fair
market sales value" of the Airframe or any Engine or any part thereof shall be
as specified in an Independent Appraisal. At any sale of the Airframe or any
Engine or part thereof pursuant to this Section 15, Lessor or the Owner
Participant may bid for and purchase such property. Except as otherwise
expressly provided above,
80
AF-3
85
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; and 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 or all of such
other remedies. No express or implied waiver by Lessor of any Event of Default
shall in any way be, or be construed to be, a waiver of any future or
subsequent Event of Default.
Section 16. Single Transaction. Lessor and Lessee agree that
the transactions contemplated by this Lease, the Participation Agreement, the
Tax Indemnity Agreement, the other Operative Documents and the Rent Schedule
are intended to and shall be construed to constitute one transaction. Lessee
and Lessor hereby acknowledge that this Lease is a "lease" for purposes of
Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code. So long as said Section 1110, or any
successor or compatible provision affording protection to lessors of aircraft
from the automatic stay under the Bankruptcy Code (then in effect) is in
effect, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Lessee hereby agrees that it
will not, in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding involving Lessee, take a
position in the United States Bankruptcy Court that is inconsistent with
Lessor's rights (or the rights of the Indenture Trustee, as assignee of Lessor)
under said Section 1110 or said successor or comparable provision.
Section 17. Further Assurances; Financial Information.
Forthwith upon the execution and delivery of each Lease Supplement and Trust
Agreement and Indenture Supplement, Lessee will cause such Lease Supplement and
Trust Agreement and Indenture Supplement (and, in the case of the initial Lease
Supplement and Trust Agreement and Indenture Supplement with respect to the
Aircraft, this Lease, the Trust Indenture and the Trust Agreement) to be duly
filed and recorded in accordance with the Federal Aviation Act. In addition,
each of Lessor and Lessee will promptly and duly execute and deliver to the
other party hereto such further documents and assurances and take such further
action as such other party may from time to time reasonably request in order
effectively to carry out the intent and purpose of this Lease, including,
without limitation, if requested by Lessor, the execution and delivery of
supplements or amendments hereto or, in the case of Lessor, to the Trust
Indenture, in recordable form, sub-
81
AF-3
86
jecting to this Lease and, in the case of Lessor, to the Trust Indenture, any
Replacement Airframe or Replacement Engine and the recording or filing of
counterparts hereof or thereof, in accordance with the laws of such
jurisdictions as Lessor may from time to time deem advisable; provided that
this sentence is not intended to impose upon Lessee any additional liabilities
not otherwise contemplated by this Lease and the Participation Agreement.
Lessee also agrees to furnish Lessor, the Owner Participant and the Indenture
Trustee (i) within 60 days after the end of each of the first three quarterly
fiscal periods in each fiscal year of Lessee, a consolidated balance sheet of
Lessee and its consolidated subsidiaries prepared by it as of the close of such
period, together with the related consolidated statements of income and cash
flows for such period, (ii) within 120 days after the close of each fiscal year
of Lessee, a consolidated balance sheet of Lessee and its consolidated
subsidiaries as of the close of such fiscal year, together with the related
consolidated statements of income and cash flows for such fiscal year, as
certified by independent public accountants, (iii) within 120 days after the
close of each fiscal year of Lessee, a certificate of Lessee, signed by a
Responsible Officer of Lessee and addressed to Lessor, the Indenture Trustee
and the Owner Participant, to the effect that the signer has reviewed the
relevant terms of this Lease and the Participation Agreement and has made, or
caused to be made under his supervision, a review of the transactions and
condition of Lessee during the accounting period covered by the financial
statements referred to in clause (ii) above, and that such review has not
disclosed the existence during such accounting period, nor does the signer have
knowledge of the existence as at the date of such certificate, of any condition
or event which constitutes an Event of Default or which, after notice or lapse
of time or both, would constitute 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 Lessee has taken or is taking or proposes to
take with respect thereto, and (iv) from time to time such other
non-confidential information as Lessor may reasonably request.
Section 18. Notices. All notices required under the terms
and provisions of this Lease shall be in English and in writing, and any such
notice may be given by United States mail, courier service, telegram, telex,
cable or facsimile (confirmed by telephone or in writing
82
AF-3
87
in the case of notice by telegram, telex, cable or facsimile) or any other
customary means of communication, and any such notice shall be effective when
delivered (i) if to Lessee, to P.O. Box 619616, Dallas/Fort Worth International

(iii) if to the Owner Participant or the Original Loan Participant, to their
respective addresses set forth on the signature pages of the Participation

and (iv) if to the Indenture Trustee, to 600 Peachtree Street, N.E., Suite 900,
Atlanta, Georgia 30308, Attention: Corporate Trust Department (AA 1992 AF-3),
Facsimile: (404) 607-6534, Telephone: (404) 607-4680, or such other address
as the Indenture Trustee shall from time to time designate in writing to Lessor
and Lessee. Prior to the discharge of the lien of the Trust Indenture, Lessee
shall furnish the Indenture Trustee directly with a copy of each report,
notice, request, demand, certificate, financial statement or other instrument
or document furnished to Lessor hereunder.
Section 19. No Setoff, Counterclaim, Etc. This Lease is a
net lease and it is intended that Lessee shall pay all costs and expenses of
every character whether seen or unforeseen, ordinary or extraordinary, or
structural or nonstructural in connection with the use, operation, maintenance,
repair and reconstruction of the Airframe and each Engine by Lessee, including
the costs and expenses particularly set forth in this Lease. Lessee's
obligation to pay all Rent payable hereunder shall, subject to Section 3(f) and
the proviso to the penultimate sentence of Section 3(c), be absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstances, including,
without limitation, (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other
right which Lessee may have against Lessor, any Participant, the Indenture
Trustee or anyone else for any reason whatsoever, (ii) any defect in the
83
AF-3
88
title, airworthiness, condition, design, operation or fitness for use of, or
any damage to or loss or destruction of, the Aircraft, or any interruption or
cessation in or prohibition of the use or possession thereof by Lessee for any
reason whatsoever, (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or similar
proceedings by or against Lessee or any other Person or (iv) any other
circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not unforeseen or
similar to any of the foregoing. If for any reason whatsoever this Lease shall
be terminated in whole or in part by operation of law or otherwise, except as
specifically provided herein, Lessee nonetheless agrees, subject to Section
3(f), to pay to Lessor an amount equal to each Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent
payment under Section 3 at the time such payment would have become due and
payable in accordance with the terms hereof had this Lease not been terminated
in whole or in part. 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. Each payment of Rent made by Lessee shall be final as to Lessor
and Lessee, and Lessee will not seek to recover all or any part of any such
payment of Rent from Lessor or from the Indenture Trustee for any reason
whatsoever; provided that nothing in this sentence shall be construed to modify
or limit in any way Lessee's rights under Section 3(f) and the penultimate
sentence of Section 3(c) or its rights to rebate under Section 9(b), 9(d),
15(c) or 15(d).
Section 20. Renewal Options; Purchase Options. (a) Renewal
Options. Lessee shall have the right to extend this Lease with respect to the
Aircraft for up to five additional periods of one year each (each such period
being hereinafter referred to as a "Renewal Term"), each commencing at the end
of the Term or a Renewal Term. Such option to renew shall be exercised upon
irrevocable written notice from Lessee to Lessor given not less than 120 days
prior to the commencement of the first day of each Renewal Term and if no Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on such date, then this Lease
shall be extended for the additional period of such Renewal Term on the same
conditions provided for herein, and upon such extension, the word "Term"
whenever used herein shall be deemed to refer, unless the context otherwise
requires, to such Renewal Term; provided that the rental payable during such
Renewal Term shall be at a rental rate
84
AF-3
89
equal to (i) in the case of the first Renewal Term the lesser of (x) the
Renewal Term Rate and (y) the fair market rental value for the Aircraft
determined within 90 days after such election by mutual agreement of Lessor and
Lessee or, if they shall be unable to agree, by an Independent Appraisal, and
(ii) in the case of any Renewal Term thereafter, the fair market rental value
of the Aircraft determined within 90 days after such election by mutual
agreement of Lessor and Lessee or, if they shall be unable to agree, by an
Independent Appraisal; and provided, further, that the provisions of Section 9
shall not be applicable during any Renewal Term. The amounts which are payable
during any such Renewal Term in respect of Termination Value as used in Section
15 and Stipulated Loss Value with respect to the Aircraft shall be determined
on the basis of the fair market sales value of the Aircraft as of the
commencement of such Renewal Term, amortized on a straight-line basis over such
Renewal Term to the fair market sales value of the Aircraft as of the
expiration of such Renewal Term, as such fair market sales value in each case
is determined prior to the commencement of such Renewal Term by mutual
agreement of Lessor and Lessee or, if they shall be unable to agree, as
determined by an Independent Appraisal.
(b) Special Purchase Option. On August 11, 2012, or, if such
date is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (the "Special
Purchase Option Date"), Lessee shall have the right, at its option, to purchase
the Aircraft. Such option to purchase the Aircraft shall be exercised
irrevocably upon written notice from Lessee to Lessor given not less than 120
days prior to the Special Purchase Option Date. In the event that Lessee shall
have so elected to purchase the Aircraft, on the Special Purchase Option Date,
(x) Lessee shall pay the Basic Rent installment due on the Special Purchase
Option Date (it being understood and agreed that Lessee shall not be required
to pay the portion, if any, of such Basic Rent installment designated in
Exhibit A-1 to the Rent Schedule as being payable in advance), and at its
option shall either (A) pay to Lessor, in funds of the type specified in
Section 3(d), (1) an amount determined by multiplying Lessor's Cost for the
Aircraft by the Special Purchase Price Percentage (the "Special Purchase
Price"), plus (2) all Supplemental Rent (including, without limitation, the
Break Amount, if any, on the Certificates) due and owing on such Special
Purchase Option Date, plus (3) all Basic Rent due prior to and unpaid on such
Special Pur-
85
AF-3
90
chase Option Date, or (B) assume all of the rights and obligations of the Owner
Trustee under the Trust Indenture in respect of the Certificates (including,
without limitation, any scheduled payment of principal of or accrued interest
on the Certificates due and payable on the Special Purchase Option Date but
only to the extent that any Basic Rent installment payable by Lessee pursuant
to clause (x) above or previously paid pursuant to this Lease does not cover
such scheduled payment of principal or accrued interest on the Certificates and
excluding any obligations or liabilities of the Owner Trustee in its individual
capacity incurred on or prior to the Special Purchase Option Date, which
obligations and liabilities shall remain the sole responsibility of the Owner
Trustee in its individual capacity) in accordance with Section 2.16 of the
Trust Indenture and simultaneously shall pay to Lessor, in funds of the type
specified in Section 3(d), an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the
Special Purchase Price over an amount equal to the sum of the principal of, and
any accrued and unpaid interest on (except that such unpaid interest, for
purposes of this Section 20(b), shall be deemed to have accrued at the Assumed
Debt Rate), the outstanding Certificates on such Special Purchase Option Date,
after taking into account any payments of principal or interest made in respect
of the outstanding Certificates on such Special Purchase Option Date, and (y)
Lessor will transfer to Lessee, without recourse or warranty (except as to
Lessor's Liens), all of Lessor's right, title and interest in and to the
Aircraft and, if Lessee shall not have assumed the rights and obligations of
the Owner Trustee under the Trust Indenture in respect of the Certificates as
provided for above, Lessor will request the Indenture Trustee to execute and
deliver to Lessee an appropriate instrument releasing the Airframe and Engines
with respect to which title is transferred from the Lien of the Trust Indenture
and releasing the Purchase Agreement and the Purchase Agreement Assignment from
the assignment and pledge thereunder.
(c) Purchase Option. Lessee shall have the right, at its
option, at the expiration of the Term or any Renewal Term, to elect to purchase
the Aircraft at a price equal to the fair market sales value of the Aircraft,
as determined as provided below. Such option to purchase shall be exercised
irrevocably upon written notice from Lessee to Lessor given not less than 120
days prior to the last day of the Term or any Renewal Term, as
86
AF-3
91
the case may be. If Lessee shall have so elected to purchase the Aircraft,
Lessor shall transfer without recourse or warranty (except as to Lessor's
Liens) the Aircraft to Lessee, against payment by Lessee of the applicable
purchase price and any other amounts due hereunder in immediately available
funds. In order to enable Lessee to determine whether it wishes to exercise
such election to purchase, the fair market sales value for the Aircraft shall,
at Lessee's request made in sufficient time to permit such determination, be
determined not less than 150 days prior to the end of the Term or any Renewal
Term by mutual agreement of Lessor and Lessee or, if they shall be unable to
agree, by an Independent Appraisal.
Section 21. Successor Owner Trustee. Lessee agrees that, in
the case of the appointment of any successor Owner Trustee pursuant to the
terms of the Trust Agreement and Section 9(d) of the Participation Agreement,
such successor Owner Trustee shall succeed to all the rights, powers and title
of Lessor hereunder and shall be deemed to be Lessor of the Aircraft for all
purposes without in any way altering the terms of this Lease or Lessee's
obligations hereunder. Lessee further agrees that in the case of the
appointment of any additional trustee to act as co-trustee or as a separate
trustee pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement and Section 9(d) of the
Participation Agreement, such additional trustee shall acquire such rights,
power and title of Lessor hereunder as are specified in the instruments
appointing such additional trustee, without in any way altering the terms of
this Lease or Lessee's obligations hereunder. One such appointment and
designation of a successor or additional Owner Trustee shall not exhaust the
right to appoint and designate further successor or additional Owner Trustees
pursuant to the Trust Agreement and Section 9(d) of the Participation
Agreement, but such right may be exercised repeatedly as long as this Lease
shall be in effect.
Section 22. Security for Lessor's Obligation to Loan
Participants. In order to secure the indebtedness evidenced by the
Certificates, Lessor has agreed in the Trust Indenture, among other things, to
assign to the Indenture Trustee this Lease and the Lease Supplements and to
mortgage in favor of the Indenture Trustee all of Lessor's right, title and
interest in and to the Aircraft, subject to the reservations and conditions
therein set forth. Lessee hereby consents to such assignment and to the
creation of such mortgage and security interest and
87
AF-3
92
acknowledges receipt of copies of the Trust Indenture and the Trust Agreement
and Indenture Supplement, it being understood that such consent shall not
affect any requirement or the absence of any requirement for any consent under
any other circumstances. To the extent, if any, that this Lease Agreement
constitutes chattel paper (as such term is defined in the Uniform Commercial
Code as in effect in any applicable jurisdiction), no security interest in this
Lease may be created through the transfer or possession of any counterpart
hereof other than the original counterpart, which shall be identified as the
counterpart containing the receipt therefor executed by the Indenture Trustee
on the signature page thereof.
Section 23. Lessor's Right to Perform for Lessee. If Lessee
fails to make any payment of Rent required to be made by it hereunder or fails
to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, Lessor may,
on behalf of Lessee and upon prior notice to Lessee, itself make such payment
or undertake such performance or compliance. The amount of any such payment
and the amount of the reasonable expenses of Lessor incurred in connection with
such payment, performance or compliance together with interest thereon, at the
Overdue Rate, shall be deemed Supplemental Rent, payable by Lessee upon demand.
Section 24. Maintenance of Certain Engines. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, an aircraft engine which is not an
Engine, but which is installed on the Airframe, shall be maintained in
accordance with Section 7(a).
Section 25. Investment of Security Funds; Miscellaneous. Any
moneys required to be paid to or retained by Lessor which are not required to
be paid to Lessee pursuant to Section 10(f) or 11(b) solely because an Event of
Default hereunder (or event that with lapse of time would constitute an Event
of Default under Section 14(a), 14(g), 14(h) or 14(i)) shall have occurred, or
which are required to be paid to Lessee pursuant to Section 10(c) or 11(b)
after completion of a replacement to be made pursuant to Section 10(a) shall,
until paid to Lessee as provided in Section 10 or 11 or applied as provided
herein or in the Trust Agreement and Trust Indenture, be invested in Permitted
Investments by Lessor (unless the Trust Indenture shall not have been
discharged, in which case, by the Indenture Trustee as provided in Section 3.07
of the Trust Indenture) from time to time as directed in
88
AF-3
93
writing by Lessee. There shall, so long as no Event of Default shall have
occurred or be continuing, be promptly remitted to Lessee as a rebate of Rent
any gain (including interest received) realized as the result of any such
investment (net of any fees, commissions and other expenses, if any, incurred
in connection with such investment) and Lessee will promptly pay to Lessor or
the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, on demand, as Supplemental Rent the
amount of any loss realized as the result of any such investment (together with
any fees, commissions and other expenses, if any, incurred in connection with
such investment), such amount to be disposed of in accordance with the terms of
the Trust Agreement and the Trust Indenture.
Section 26. Concerning the Lessor. Wilmington Trust Company
is entering into this Lease Agreement solely in its capacity as Owner Trustee
under the Trust Agreement and not in its individual capacity (except as
expressly stated herein) and in no case shall Wilmington Trust Company (or any
entity acting as successor Owner Trustee under the Trust Agreement) be
personally liable for or on account of any of the statements, representations,
warranties, covenants or obligations stated to be those of Lessor hereunder;
provided, however, that Wilmington Trust Company (or any such successor Owner
Trustee) shall be personally liable hereunder for its own gross negligence or
willful misconduct or for its breach of its covenants, representations and
warranties contained herein, to the extent covenanted or made in its individual
capacity.
Section 27. Sublessee's Performance and Rights. Any
obligation imposed on Lessee in this Lease shall require only that Lessee
perform or cause to be performed such obligation, even if stated herein as a
direct obligation, and the performance of any such obligation by any permitted
assignee, sublessee or transferee under an assignment, sublease or transfer
agreement then in effect shall constitute performance by Lessee and to the
extent of such performance discharge such obligation by Lessee. Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, any right granted to Lessee in this Lease
shall grant Lessee the right to exercise such right or permit such right to be
exercised by any such assignee, sublessee or transferee; provided that no such
assignee, sublessee or transferee shall be permitted to exercise the
self-insurance rights of Lessee set forth in Section 11. The inclusion of
specific references to obligations or rights of any such as-
89
AF-3
94
signee, sublessee or transferee in certain provisions of this Lease shall not
in any way prevent or diminish the application of the provisions of the two
sentences immediately preceding with respect to obligations or rights in
respect of which specific reference to any such assignee, sublessee or
transferee has not been made in this Lease.
Section 28. 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
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any
such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate
or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. This Lease
may be executed by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which
when so executed and delivered, subject to Section 22, shall be an original,
but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same

Termination. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and

terminate this Lease at any time on or after the fifth anniversary of
the Delivery Date, if in Lessee's good faith determination (evidenced
by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of Lessee to such effect)
the Aircraft is surplus to Lessee's requirements or economically
obsolete to Lessee, and (ii) at any time on or after the eighth
anniversary of the Delivery Date to terminate this Lease for any
reason whatsoever, in each case by delivering to Lessor a written
notice of termination specifying a proposed date of termination (the
"Termination Date") which shall be a Business Day occurring not
earlier than 90 days after the date of such notice, and, if the
Termination Date is a Special Termination Date, whether or not Lessee
is thereby electing to purchase the Aircraft
12
Series AC
15
on such Special Termination Date as provided in Section 9(e). The
termination of this Lease shall, subject to the terms and conditions
set forth in this Section 9, be effective on (i) if Lessee has not
elected to purchase the Aircraft as provided in Section 9(e) and
Lessor has elected to sell the Aircraft, as provided below, the date
of sale of the Aircraft, if any, referred to in Section 9(b), (ii) if
Lessee has not elected to purchase the Aircraft as provided in Section
9(e) and Lessor has elected to retain the Aircraft as provided in
Section 9(d), the date of termination referred to in Section 9(d), or
(iii) if Lessee has elected to purchase the Aircraft as provided in
Section 9(e), the date of purchase referred to in Section 9(e). Where
Lessee has not elected to purchase the Aircraft as provided for in
Section 9(e), Lessor shall give Lessee irrevocable notice of its
election to sell or retain the Aircraft no later than 45 days after
Lessor receives the notice from Lessee referred to in the first
sentence of this Section 9(a). In the event Lessor shall fail to give
notice pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, notice of its
election to sell the Aircraft shall be deemed to have been given as of
such forty-fifth day. Unless Lessor shall have given to Lessee a
timely notice of its election to retain the Aircraft as provided in
Section 9(d), Lessee (1) shall withdraw such termination notice on the
Termination Contract Date if the Person who shall have submitted the
highest cash bid notified by Lessee to Lessor or by Lessor or the
Owner Participant to Lessee pursuant to Section 9(b) prior to the
Termination Contract Date (or, with the consent of Lessor, another
person who shall have submitted a bid for the purchase of the
Aircraft, acceptable to Lessor and Lessee) shall not have entered into
a binding contract of sale on or prior to such Termination Contract
Date reasonably acceptable to the Owner Participant providing for the
sale by Lessor without recourse or warranty (except as to Lessor's
Liens) for cash of the Airframe and the Engines installed thereon to
such Person (the "Contract Purchaser") (Lessor hereby agreeing,
subject to Lessor's right to retain the Aircraft, promptly to execute
and deliver any such contract of sale in the form thereof furnished by
Lessee for execution and delivery and Lessee hereby agreeing to
consult with the Owner Participant regarding the terms of such
contract of sale and to submit the execution form thereof to the Owner

notice referred to above at any time on or prior to the third Business
Day prior to the Termination Contract Date, whereupon this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect. In the event Lessee withdraws, on
or after the third Business Day prior to the Termination Contract
Date, a notice of termination given pursuant to this Section 9(a) or
such notice is deemed withdrawn pursuant to the final sentence of
Section 9(b), Lessee will reimburse Lessor and the Owner Participant
for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in
connection with the proposed sale, except Lessee shall not be
obligated to reimburse Lessor or the Owner Participant for any
out-of-pocket expenses to the extent Lessor shall have failed to
comply with its obligations under this Section 9. Lessee shall not be
entitled to exercise its right of termination provided for in this
Section 9(a) more than four times during the Term (not including for
purposes of this sentence any exercise by Lessee of such right of
termination immediately following a failure of this Lease to be
terminated by reason of Lessor's failure to comply with its
obligations under this Section 9).
(b) Sale of Aircraft. If Lessee has not elected to purchase
the Aircraft as provided in Section 9(e) and Lessor has elected or is
deemed to have elected to sell the Aircraft pursuant to Section 9(a),
Lessee will have the option of acting as non-exclusive agent for
Lessor to obtain bids for the cash purchase on or prior to the
Termination Date of the Aircraft. Lessor agrees to pay Lessee a
commercially reasonable brokerage fee based on the then current
industry practice in the event that Lessee locates the Person who
purchases the Aircraft pursuant to this Section 9(b). If Lessee acts
as such agent, no later than ten Business Days prior to the
Termination Contract Date, Lessee shall certify to Lessor in writing
the amount and terms of each cash bid received by Lessee and the name
and the address of the Person submitting each such bid. Lessor may
(but need not), also, at its expense (which expense, including without
limitation any broker's or finder's fees, shall be for the Owner
Participant's own account), independently obtain cash bids for such
purchase and, in the event Lessor receives any such bid, Lessor shall
promptly, and in any event at least five Business Days prior to the
Termination Contract Date certify to Lessee in writing the amount and
terms of such bid and the name
14
Series AC
17
and address of the Person submitting such bid. Neither the Owner
Participant, Lessee, nor any Affiliate of either may submit a bid for
the Aircraft, directly or indirectly, in connection with such proposed
sale. On the Termination Date (or such earlier date of sale as may be
agreed to by Lessor and Lessee, which date shall thereafter be deemed
the Termination Date), (x) Lessee shall, subject to receipt (i) by
Lessor (or, so long as the Trust Indenture shall not have been
discharged, the Indenture Trustee) of the full purchase price thereof
and all amounts owing to Lessor pursuant to the next sentence and (ii)
by the Persons entitled thereto of all unpaid Supplemental Rent due on
or before the Termination Date, deliver the Aircraft at a location
selected by Lessee to the Contract Purchaser (or such other purchaser
acceptable to Lessor and Lessee), in the same manner as if delivery
were made to Lessor at the end of the Term pursuant to Section 5, and
shall duly transfer to Lessor title to any engines installed on the
Airframe but not owned by Lessor, all in accordance with the terms of
Section 5, and (y) Lessor shall simultaneously therewith sell, without
recourse or warranty (except as to Lessor's Liens), for cash all of
Lessor's right, title and interest in and to the Aircraft to such
Contract Purchaser (or other purchaser). The total selling price
realized at such sale shall be retained by Lessor (or, so long as the
Trust Indenture shall not have been discharged, distributed by the
Indenture Trustee pursuant to the terms of the Trust Indenture) and,
in addition, on the Termination Date, Lessee shall pay to Lessor or,
in the case of Supplemental Rent, to the Persons entitled thereto, in
funds of the type specified in Section 3(d), an amount equal to (I)
the sum of (1) the excess, if any, of (A) the Termination Value for
the Aircraft as of the Termination Date, over (B) the proceeds of the
sale of the Aircraft after deducting the reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by Lessor and the Owner Participant (including any
brokerage fee paid to Lessee or any other Person), plus (2) that
amount of interest that will accrue on the principal of all
Outstanding Equipment Notes during the period from and including the
Termination Date to but excluding the Redemption Date specified in
Section 6.01 of the Trust Indenture, plus (3) all Supplemental Rent
(including, without limitation, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and Swap
Breakage Loss, if any, as the case may be, payable in connection with
a redemption of any Equipment Notes resulting from
15
Series AC
18
a termination under this Section 9(b)) other than Termination Value,
due and owing on the Termination Date, plus (4) (A) if the Termination
Date is a Lease Period Date, the Basic Rent installment due and
payable on that date pursuant to Section 3(b) (it being understood and
agreed that Lessee shall not be required to pay the portion, if any,
of such Basic Rent installment designated in Exhibit A-1 to the Rent
Schedule as being payable in advance), or (B) if the Termination
Date is not a Lease Period Date and if Basic Rent is payable in
arrears during the Lease Period commencing on the Lease Period Date
next preceding the Termination Date, an amount equal to the Accrued
Arrears Basic Rent for the period from and including such Lease Period
Date to but excluding the Termination Date, plus (5) all Basic Rent
due and payable prior to the Termination Date and unpaid, less (II)
any credit to which Lessee may be entitled as hereinafter in this
Section 9(b) provided. Subject always to the provisions of the
penultimate paragraph of Section 3(b), if the Termination Date with
respect to which Termination Value is determined is not a Lease Period
Date and if any portion of the Basic Rent installment paid in respect
of the Lease Period commencing on the Lease Period Date next preceding
the Termination Date is designated in Exhibit A-1 to the Rent Schedule
as having been payable in advance, Lessee shall be entitled to a
credit against the amounts payable by it pursuant to this Section 9(b)
in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the Unearned Advance Basic
Rent as of the Termination Date, and (y) the amount, if any, by which
the proceeds of the sale of the Aircraft after deducting the
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lessor and the Owner
Participant (including any brokerage fee paid to Lessee or any other
Person) exceeds the Termination Value for the Aircraft as of the
Termination Date; provided that, in the event that the amount
calculated pursuant to this sentence to be credited exceeds the
amounts payable by Lessee pursuant to this Section 9(b), the Owner
Participant shall be obligated to rebate an amount equal to such
excess to Lessee. If on or prior to the scheduled Termination Date no
sale of the Aircraft shall have occurred and if Lessor shall not have
elected to retain the Aircraft in accordance with Section 9(d) or
Lessee shall not have elected to purchase the Aircraft in accordance
with Section 9(e), Lessee's notice given pursuant to Section 9(a)
shall be deemed to be withdrawn as of such
16
Series AC
19
scheduled Termination Date and this Lease shall continue in full force
and effect.
(c) Certain Obligations upon Sale of Aircraft. Upon the sale
of the Aircraft pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of
Section 9(b), Lessor will transfer to Lessee, without recourse or
warranty (except as to Lessor's Liens), all of Lessor's right, title
and interest in and to any Engines constituting part of the Aircraft
but which are not then installed on the Airframe. Lessor shall be
under no duty to solicit bids, to inquire into the efforts of Lessee
to obtain bids or otherwise take any action in connection with the
sale of the Aircraft under Section 9(b), other than to transfer to the
purchaser of the Aircraft (or to such purchaser and to Lessee, as the
case may be), without recourse or warranty (except as to Lessor's
Liens), all of Lessor's right, title and interest in and to the
Aircraft against receipt of the payments provided for herein, and to
pay the amounts, if any, required to be paid by Lessor under Section
9(b) or this Section 9(c), and to request the Loan Trustee upon the

the Trust Indenture and releasing the Purchase Agreement and the
Purchase Agreement Assignment from the assignment and pledge under the
Trust Indenture. Lessor agrees to notify promptly Lessee of the
appointment by Lessor of any broker or finder (other than Lessee) in

subject to Section 9(b), to pay the fees or commissions of any such
broker or finder employed by Lessor in connection with the sale of the
Aircraft pursuant to Section 9(b).
(d) Retention of Aircraft by Lessor. If Lessee has not
elected to purchase the Aircraft as provided in Section 9(e) and
Lessor has elected to retain the Aircraft pursuant to Section 9(a), on
the Termination Date specified in Lessee's termination notice, Lessor
shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Loan Trustee in funds of the
type specified in Section 3(d), an amount equal to (1) the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of the Equipment Notes and all accrued
interest thereon, plus (2) that amount of interest that will accrue on

equal to the Accrued Arrears Basic Rent for the period from and
including such Lease Period Date to but excluding the Termination

longer be entitled to exercise its election to retain the Aircraft and
Lessee may at its option at any time thereafter submit a new

transfer or Participation, and any offer to make any such sale, assignment,
pledge, transfer or Participation, prior to the first anniversary of the
Refunding Date shall be made only to a Permitted Transferee that is a Treaty
Lender and in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act; and (C) no
such sale, assignment, pledge, transfer or Participation shall be made under

Upon any such Assignment, the Owner Trustee, the Loan Trustee,
the Owner Participant and/or the Lessee shall be entitled to receive from the
assigning Bank Lender or any
36

other party effecting such assignment the reasonable expenses of the Owner
Trustee, the Loan Trustee, the Owner Participant and the Lessee incurred in
effecting such Assignment. Upon any such Assignment, such Assignee shall be
deemed a party to this Agreement and any other Operative Document to which the
Initial Bank Lender was a party.
(f) A Bank Lender may sell or agree to sell to one or
more other Persons that is a Permitted Transferee a Participation in all or any
of its Bank Equipment Notes in accordance with Section 10(e) hereof, but no
such participant shall have any other rights or benefits as against the Owner
Trustee, the Lessee, the Owner Participant or the Indenture Estate or Trust
Estate under any Operative Document. All amounts payable by the Lessee to any
Bank Lender under Section 14(a) of this Refunding Agreement or Section 7(b) or
7(c) of the Participation Agreement shall be determined as if such Bank Lender
had not sold or agreed to sell any Participation in its Bank Equipment Notes.
Notwithstanding any such Participation, (i) such Bank Lender's obligations
under the Operative Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Bank Lender
shall remain solely responsible to the other parties to the Operative Documents
for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the other parties to this
Refunding Agreement, the Participation Agreement and the other Operative
Documents shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank Lender in
connection with such Bank Lender's Bank Equipment Notes and such Bank Lender's
rights and obligations under the Operative Documents. In no event shall any
Bank Lender that sells a Participation be obligated to the participant under
the participation agreement governing the Participation to take or refrain from
taking any action hereunder or under any of the Operative Documents except that
such Bank Lender may agree in such participation agreement that it will not,
without the consent of the participant, agree to any of the matters specified
for each Bank Lender to approve in Sections 11.02 and 11.06 of the Indenture;
and such Bank Lender shall be solely responsible for any withholding or other
taxes and any filing or reporting requirements relating to such Participation
and shall hold the Lessee and the Loan Trustee harmless against the same.

43
Series AA
47
(b) Each Bank Lender agrees that, upon notice from the Owner
Trustee or the Lessee or upon otherwise learning of the possibility of the
occurrence of (i) any of the events described in Section 6.01 of the Indenture
or (ii) an acceleration or a redemption (or purchase in lieu of redemption) of
the Bank Equipment Notes, such Bank Lender (or, if the Initial Bank Lender is
the sole counterparty to the Actual Swap, the Initial Bank Lender) shall
promptly (A) to the extent permitted by applicable law, notify the Lessee and
the Owner Trustee of such possibility and (B) thereafter provide the Lessee and
the Owner Trustee with a non-binding good faith estimate of the Break Funding
Amount.
(c) In the event any of the Bank Equipment Notes are redeemed
(or purchased in lieu of redemption) pursuant to Section 6.01 of the Indenture,
the Owner Trustee hereby directs each Bank Lender, and each Bank Lender hereby
agrees, to pay directly to the Lessee an amount equal to any Swap Breakage
Gain. In the event any of the Bank Equipment Notes are accelerated or redeemed
(or purchased in lieu of redemption) as a result of an Indenture Event of
Default that also constitutes a Lease Event of Default that has occurred and is
continuing, the Owner Trustee hereby directs each Bank Lender that is a swap
counterparty to the Actual Swap, and each such Bank Lender hereby agrees, to
pay directly to the Lessee an amount equal to any Swap Breakage Gain; provided
that no Bank Lender shall be required to make any such payment to the Lessee
pursuant to this sentence unless the Bank Equipment Notes held by such Bank
Lender that are subject to such acceleration or redemption (or purchase in lieu
of redemption) shall have been paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the event any of the Bank Equipment Notes are accelerated or redeemed (or
purchased in lieu of redemption) as a result of an Indenture Event of Default
that does not also constitute a Lease Event of Default, the Owner Trustee
hereby directs each Bank Lender that is a swap counterparty to the Actual Swap,
and each such Bank Lender hereby agrees, to pay directly to the Owner Trustee
for distribution pursuant to the Trust Agreement, an amount equal to any Swap
Breakage Gain; provided that no Bank Lender shall be required to make any such
payment to the Owner Trustee pursuant to this sentence unless the Bank
Equipment Notes held by such Bank Lender that are subject to such acceleration
or redemption (or purchase in lieu of redemption) shall have been paid in full.
SECTION 14. ADDITIONAL COSTS. (a) (i) Additional Costs.
If a Regulatory Change with respect to the
44
Series AA
48
Initial Bank Lender or any Permitted Transferee shall (A) impose on such Bank
Lender any reserve, special deposit or any similar requirement with respect to
the loan evidenced by its Bank Equipment Notes or any capital adequacy
requirement requiring the maintenance by such Bank Lender of additional capital
with respect to the loan evidenced by its Bank Equipment Notes, or (B) change
the basis of taxation in the jurisdictions in which such Bank Lender has either
its principal office or the lending office through which it is participating in
the Bank Equipment Notes (for such Bank Lender, its "Lending Office") of any
amounts payable to such Bank Lender under the Indenture (other than any change
with respect to (1) Taxes based on or imposed on or with respect to or measured
by the capital, receipts or franchises of such Bank Lender or the overall net
or gross income of such Bank Lender or such Lending Office, or (2) Taxes
imposed on such Bank Lender or such Lending Office in lieu of or as a direct
substitute for any Tax described in the preceding clause (1)) and as a result
of any of the foregoing there shall be any material increase in the actual cost
to such Bank Lender of making, funding or maintaining the loan evidenced by its
Bank Equipment Notes or any material reduction in the amount receivable by such
Bank Lender in respect thereof, in either case where such event does not arise
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Bank Lender, from its
breach of any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in any
Operative Document or from its failure to comply with any such Regulatory
Change (any such increase or reduction being referred to herein as an
"Additional Cost"), then, upon demand made by such Bank Lender to the Owner
Trustee, with a copy thereof to the Lessee, following the applicable Regulatory
Change, the Owner Trustee shall pay directly to such Bank Lender from time to
time, commencing within 15 days of the presentation by such Bank Lender of the
certificate specified in the final sentence of the first paragraph of Section
14(a)(ii) hereof, an amount equal to the Additional Costs accruing from the
date of delivery of such certificate. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing,
the Owner Trustee's obligation to pay Additional Costs shall be limited to
making such payments when and to the extent the Owner Trustee receives a
corresponding payment of Supplemental Rent from the Lessee.
(ii) Notices, Mitigation and Determinations. Each Bank
Lender will notify the Owner Trustee and the Lessee of any event occurring
after the date of this Agreement (or, if later, after the date on which such
Bank Lender purchased its Bank Equipment Notes) that will entitle such
45
Series AA
49
Bank Lender to compensation under Section 14(a)(i) hereof or Section 7(c) of
the Participation Agreement as promptly as practicable, but, in the case of
Section 14(a)(i) hereof, in any event within 30 days after the enactment date
of the relevant Regulatory Change. As a condition to a Bank Lender's receiving
compensation pursuant to this Section 14(a)(i) or Section 7(c) of the
Participation Agreement, each such Bank Lender shall use its best efforts to
avoid the need for, or to reduce the amount of, such compensation, and such
Bank Lender shall take all reasonable steps to so avoid the need for, or reduce
the amount of, such compensation, including, without limitation, designating a
different Lending Office of such Bank Lender (other than a Lending Office that
would render such Bank Lender no longer a Treaty Lender or an Exempt Lender, as
the case may be), for the Bank Equipment Notes; provided that such Bank Lender
shall not be obligated to take any steps that will, in its reasonable opinion,
impose any material loss, cost, expense or liability upon such Bank Lender.
The affected Bank Lender shall furnish to the Owner Trustee and the Lessee (A)
in the case of Section 14(a)(i) hereof, an opinion of counsel describing the
Regulatory Change giving rise to the need for the payment of such compensation
pursuant to Section 14(a)(i) hereof and (B) an Officer's Certificate describing
in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to such Bank Lender's right to the
payment of such compensation pursuant to, and the basis in reasonable detail of
computing such compensation under, as applicable, this Section 14(a) or Section
7(c) of the Participation Agreement, including, without limitation, a
description of the steps taken by such Bank Lender to avoid or mitigate the
amount of any such compensation referred to in this Section 14(a) or Section
7(c) of the Participation Agreement and certifying that such Bank Lender has
complied with its obligations under this Section 14(a) or Section 7(c) of the
Participation Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
14(a), in no event shall the Owner Trustee be required to make payments under
this Section 14(a) in respect of any Regulatory Change proposed by any
applicable governmental authority (including any branch of a legislature),
central bank or comparable agency and pending as of the date of this Refunding
Agreement or, in the case of any Bank Lender that is an Assignee pursuant to
Section 10(e) hereof, pending as of the date of the transfer. In addition, the
Owner Trustee shall not be required to make payments under this Section 14(a)
to any Bank Lender if such Bank Lender's claim hereunder arises through
circumstances peculiar to
46
Series AA
50
such Bank Lender and which do not affect commercial banking institutions in the
same jurisdiction generally. No Bank Lender shall seek payment with respect to
Additional Costs hereunder if such Bank Lender is not also seeking payment for
similar increased costs in other similarly situated transactions.
(b) Certain Transfers of Bank Equipment Notes. If any Bank
Lender requests compensation for any amounts pursuant to Section 14(a) hereof
or Section 7(c) of the Participation Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall, but
only at the express direction of the Lessee (which direction the Lessee may, in
its sole discretion, elect to give), require that such Bank Lender transfer its
Bank Equipment Notes and all of its rights and obligations as a "Bank Lender"
under its Bank Equipment Notes, this Agreement, the Participation Agreement and
the Indenture to any Person or Persons (such Person or Persons being herein
referred to as the "Replacement Lender(s)") identified by the Owner Trustee (as
so directed by the Lessee) in a notice (the "Replacement Notice") to such Bank
Lender specifying the date on which such transfer is requested to occur, the
name(s) of the Replacement Lender(s) to which its interest in the Bank
Equipment Notes is to be transferred and the portion thereof to be transferred
to each, which notice shall be given not less than 15 Business Days prior to
the date on which such transfer is to occur. Promptly after its receipt of any
such notice from the Owner Trustee, unless such notice indicates that the
Replacement Lender(s) do not desire an assignment of the Actual Swap, if any,
or Swap Participation, if any, to which the affected Bank Lender is at such
time a party, (x) if such affected Bank Lender is party to an Actual Swap, such
affected Bank Lender shall ascertain whether its Swap Counterparty, if any,
shall agree to an assignment of its Actual Swap by such Bank Lender to the
proposed Replacement Lender(s) to the extent of their proposed respective
interest in the Bank Equipment Notes and (y) if such affected Bank Lender is a
party to a Swap Participation, such affected Bank Lender shall ascertain
whether the Initial Bank Lender shall agree to extend the Swap Participation to
the proposed Replacement Lender(s) to the extent of their proposed respective
interest in the Bank Equipment Notes (the Initial Bank Lender hereby agreeing
to take all commercially reasonable steps to accommodate such request). The
affected Bank Lender shall promptly notify the Owner Trustee and the Lessee as
to whether its Swap Counterparty shall accept such assignment to the
Replacement Lender(s), or as to whether the Initial Bank Lender shall extend a
Swap Participation to the Replacement Lender(s). On the date of the requested
47
Series AA
51
relevant transfer, (x) the affected Bank Lender shall sell, assign and transfer
to the Replacement Lender(s), and the Replacement Lender(s) shall acquire and
assume from the affected Bank Lender, all of the rights and obligations of the
affected Bank Lender as a "Bank Lender" under the Bank Equipment Notes, this
Agreement, the Participation Agreement and the Indenture (and, if the affected
Bank Lender has an Actual Swap or Swap Participation being assigned to such
Replacement Lender, under such Actual Swap or Swap Participation) by executing
and delivering an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the Lessee to be bound by the terms of the Operative Documents and containing
such amendments to the representations, warranties and agreements to be made by
such Replacement Lender and the indemnities in favor of such Replacement Lender
as the Lessee may agree (for purposes of this Section 14(b), collectively, the
"Transferred Interest"), (y) the Lessee and/or the Replacement Lender(s) shall
pay to the affected Bank Lender an amount equal to all principal, interest and
other amounts then owing under this Agreement and the Indenture in respect of
the Transferred Interest (and, unless the affected Bank Lender has an Actual
Swap or Swap Participation being assigned to the Replacement Lender(s), plus an
amount equal to any Swap Breakage Losses, or minus an amount equal to any Swap
Breakage Gains, that would be payable by or to such Bank Lender if such Bank
Lender's Bank Equipment Notes were being redeemed in full), and (z) the Lessee
and/or the Replacement Lender(s) shall pay to the affected Bank Lender an
amount equal to all reasonable costs or expenses incurred by such Bank Lender
in connection with such transfer, whereupon the Replacement Lender(s) shall
each become a "Bank Lender" for all purposes of this Agreement having, except
as aforesaid, all the rights and obligations under this Agreement, the
Indenture and the other Operative Documents of each "Bank Lender" holding their
share of the Transferred Interest, and the obligations of the affected Bank
Lender in respect of the Transferred Interest shall terminate. In the event
the affected Bank Lender is a party to a Swap Participation and such Swap
Participation is not being assigned to the Replacement Lender(s), the Initial
Bank Lender agrees to terminate the Swap Transaction to the extent of such Swap
Participation.
SECTION 15. PREFUNDING. (a) To enable the Original Loan
Certificates to be redeemed on the Refunding Date in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement and the Original Indenture, the Initial Bank Lender shall pay

Initial Bank Lender's overnight cost of funds (or, if higher, 80 basis points
plus the floating rate base then applicable to the Initial Bank Lender as
floating rate payor under any then-applicable Swap), as certified by the
Initial Bank Lender to the Lessee. Accrued interest on the Deposit shall be
due and payable to the Initial Bank Lender on the earlier of the dates

EXHIBIT A
GUARANTEE
(AA 1995 PTC Series ___)
GUARANTEE, dated as of ________________, 1995 by State Street Bank and
Trust Company, a Massachusetts corporation (the "GUARANTOR") to and for the
benefit of each person listed on Schedule I hereto (collectively, together with
their successors and permitted assigns, the "BENEFICIARIES" and, individually,
a "BENEFICIARY").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, State Street Bank and Trust Company of Connecticut, National
Association, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Guarantor (the "SUBSIDIARY")
wishes to act as trustee pursuant to the agreements listed on Schedule II
hereto (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the
"AGREEMENTS").
WHEREAS, the Beneficiaries are willing to have the Subsidiary act in
such capacity under the Agreements provided that the Guarantor executes and
delivers this Guarantee;
WHEREAS, the Guarantor has determined that the execution and delivery
by it of this Guarantee is necessary in order to conduct, promote and attain the
business of the Subsidiary and the Guarantor;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Guarantor hereby agrees with and for the benefit
of the Beneficiaries as follows:
1. GUARANTEE.
(a) The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably
guarantees to each of the Beneficiaries the prompt and complete payment by the
Subsidiary when due of, and the faithful performance of, and compliance with,
all payment obligations of the Subsidiary under the Agreements and each other
document referred to therein to which the Subsidiary is a party or by which the
Subsidiary is bound (collectively, the "RELEVANT DOCUMENTS"), in accordance
with the terms thereof and the timely performance of and compliance with all
other obligations of the Subsidiary thereunder (such payment and other
obligations, the "OBLIGATIONS"). In no event, however, shall the agreement
contained herein be construed to constitute a guarantee of any amount due with
respect to acts or events occurring after such time, if any, that the
Subsidiary ceases to be a party to the Relevant Documents.
61
-2-
(b) Until such time as all of the Obligations have been paid and
performed in full, no payment or payments made by the Subsidiary, the Guarantor,
any other guarantor or any other person or received or collected by any
Beneficiary from the Subsidiary, the Guarantor, any other guarantor or any
other person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or
appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of
or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or
otherwise affect the liability of the Guarantor hereunder except as to the
Beneficiary receiving such payment and solely by and to the extent of the net
amount thereof actually received and retained by such Beneficiary, and subject
in each case to the other provisions of this Guarantee (including but not
limited to Paragraph 3 hereof). In no event shall any such payment or payments
be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of the
Guarantor hereunder for the payment and performance in full of all of the
Obligations.
(c) If for any reason any Obligations to be performed or observed
by the Subsidiary shall not be observed or performed, or if any amount payable
by the Subsidiary referred to in Section 1(a) hereof shall not be paid when due
and payable, the Guarantor shall promptly perform or observe or cause to be
performed or observed each such Obligation or undertaking and shall forthwith
pay such amount at the place and to the person or entity entitled thereto
pursuant to the Relevant Documents.
2. Amendments etc., with respect to the Obligations: Waiver of
Rights. The Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that,
without any reservation of rights against the Guarantor and without notice to
or further assent by the Guarantor, any demand for payment or performance of
any of the Obligations made by any Beneficiary may be rescinded by such party
and any of the Obligations continued, and the Obligations, or the liability of
any other party upon or for any right of offset with respect thereto, may, from
time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified,
accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by any Beneficiary
and any Relevant Document and/or any collateral security document or other
guarantee or document in connection therewith, may be amended, modified,
supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the parties thereto may
deem advisable from time to time, and any right, title or interest in or to any
Relevant Documents, or the Aircraft (as defined in the Agreement), or any
collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by any
Beneficiary for the payment or performance of the Obligations may be sold,
exchanged, waived, surrendered, released, transferred or otherwise disposed of.
Without limiting the foregoing, the Guarantor unconditionally waives, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, (a) notices of the creation of any Obligation
under the Relevant Documents or any notice of or proof of reliance by any of
the Beneficiaries upon this Guarantee or acceptance of this Guarantee (the
Obligations shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted,
incurred or renewed, extended, amended or waived in reliance upon this
Guarantee and all dealings between the Subsidiary or the Guarantor and any
Beneficiary shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in
reliance upon this Guarantee), (b) all notices that may be required by statute,
rule of law or
62
-3-
otherwise, now or hereafter in effect, to preserve intact any rights of any of
the Beneficiaries against the Guarantor, including, without limitation, any
demand, presentment and protest, proof of notice of nonpayment under any
Relevant Document, and notice of default or any failure on the part of the
Subsidiary to perform or comply with any Obligation, (c) any right to the
enforcement, assertion or exercise by any of the Beneficiaries of any right,
power, privilege or remedy conferred herein or in any Relevant Document or
otherwise, (d) any requirement of promptness or diligence on the part of any of
the Beneficiaries, (e) any notice of the sale, exchange, waiver, surrender,
release, transfer or other disposition of any right, title or interest in or to
any Relevant Document, or the Aircraft (as defined in the Agreement), or any
collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by any
Beneficiary for the payment or performance of the Obligations, or (f) any other
circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable
discharge, release or defense of a guarantor or surety, or that might otherwise
limit recourse against the Guarantor.
3. Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. The Guarantor
understands and agrees that this Guarantee shall be construed as a primary
obligation of the Guarantor and is a present, continuing, absolute and
unconditional guarantee of payment and performance (and not merely of
collection) without regard to any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than
a defense of payment or performance in full) that may at any time be available
to or be asserted by the Subsidiary against any Beneficiary. When pursuing its
rights and remedies hereunder against the Guarantor, any Beneficiary may, but
shall be under no obligation to, pursue such rights and remedies as it may have
against the Subsidiary or any other person or entity or against any collateral
security or guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with
respect thereto, and any failure by any Beneficiary to pursue such other rights
or remedies or to collect any payments from the Subsidiary or any such other
person or entity or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee
or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Subsidiary or
any such other person or entity or any such such collateral security, guarantee
or right of offset, shall not relieve the Guarantor of any liability hereunder,
and shall not impair or affect the right and remedies, whether express, implied
or available as a matter of law, of any Beneficiary against the Guarantor. This
Guarantee shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be,
if at any time payment, in whole or in part, of any of the sums due to any of
the Beneficiaries pursuant to the terms of any Relevant Document is rescinded
or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition, dissolution, liquidation,
or the like, of the Subsidiary or the Guarantor, or upon or as a result of, the
appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar
powers with respect to the Subsidiary or the Guarantor or any substantial part
of their respective property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not
been made notwithstanding any termination of this Guarantee or any other
Relevant Document. This Guaranttee shall remain in full force and effect and be
binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the Guarantor
and the successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of the
Beneficiaries, and their respective successors, transferees and assigns, until
all of the Obligations and the obligations of the Guarantor under this
Agreement shall have been satisfied by payment and performance in full.
63

Guarantee, and the performance by the Guarantor of its obligations

in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or

(AA 1995 PTC Series [ ])
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to American Airlines, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Lessee"), in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the Refunding Agreement (AA 1995 PTC Series [ ]), dated as of
_______, 1995 (the "Refunding Agreement"), among the Lessee, Wilmington Trust

PARTICIPANT], as Original Loan Participant, NationsBank of Georgia, National

herein without definition are used as defined in the Refunding Agreement.
70
To Each of the Addressees 2 June 15, 1995
Listed in Schedule A
Attached Hereto
In so acting, we have examined or participated in the
preparation of the Refunding Agreement, the Original Participation Agreement,
the Original Tax Indemnity Agreement, the Tax Indemnity Agreement Amendment,
the Original Lease, the Lease Amendment, the Original Rent Schedule, the
Amended and Restated Rent Schedule, the Original Trust Agreement, the Trust
Agreement Amendment, the Original Indenture, the Amended and Restated
Indenture, the Instrument of Resignation, the Pass Through Trust Documents and
the Purchase Agreement Assignment and the form of the Pass Through Certificates
being issued today, and we have examined and relied upon the representations
and warranties as to factual matters contained therein or made pursuant thereto
and upon the originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our
satisfaction, of such records, documents and other instruments as in our
judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinion
expressed below.
Based on the foregoing, we are of the following opinion:
1. The Lessee is a corporation duly incorporated, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware
and has the corporate power and authority to carry on its business as
presently conducted and has, or had on the respective dates of
execution thereof, the corporate power and authority to enter into its
obligations under the Refunding Agreement, the Original Participation
Agreement, the Participation Agreement, the Original Tax Indemnity
Agreement, the Tax Indemnity Agreement Amendment, the Original Lease,
the Lease Amendment, the Original Rent Schedule, the Amended and
Restated Rent Schedule, the Instrument of Resignation, the Pass

Agreement, the Lease, the Amended and Restated Rent Schedule, the
Instrument of Resignation, the Pass Through Trust Documents and the

Indemnity Agreement, the Tax Indemnity Agreement Amendment, the

71
To Each of the Addressees 3 June 15, 1995
Listed in Schedule A
Attached Hereto
the Lease Amendment, the Original Rent Schedule, the Amended and
Restated Rent Schedule, the Instrument of Resignation, the Pass
Through Trust Documents and the Purchase Agreement Assignment, and the
performance by the Lessee of the Refunding Agreement, the
Participation Agreement, the Tax Indemnity Agreement, the Lease, the
Amended and Restated Rent Schedule, the Instrument of Resignation, the
Pass Through Trust Documents and the Purchase Agreement Assignment,
have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the
part of the Lessee, and do not require any approval of stockholders of
the Lessee or approval or consent of any trustee or holders of any
indebtedness or obligations of the Lessee known to us, and neither the
execution and delivery of any thereof by the Lessee nor the
consummation by the Lessee of the transactions contemplated thereby
nor compliance by the Lessee with any of the terms and provisions
thereof contravene any law, governmental rule or regulation, judgment
or order known to us to be applicable to or binding on the Lessee, or
contravene or result in any breach of, or constitute any default
under, or result in the creation of any Lien (other than as permitted
by the Lease or the Indenture) upon any property of the Lessee under,
the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Lessee or any
indenture, mortgage, chattel mortgage, deed of trust, conditional
sales contract, bank loan or credit agreement or other agreement or
instrument known to us to which the Lessee is a party or by which the
Lessee or its properties may be bound or affected.
3. Except as referred to in Section 9(c) of the Refunding
Agreement and except for (i) action that may be required to register
the issuance and sale of the Pass Through Certificates under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), which
action has been duly accomplished upon the Lessee's Registration
Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 33-42998), as amended by
certain post-effective amendments thereto, having become effective
under the Securities Act, pursuant to orders of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, to the best of our knowledge no stop order
suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement having been
issued and no proceedings for that purpose having been instituted or
threatened, (ii) qualification of the Pass Through Trust Agreement
under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, which
72
To Each of the Addressees 4 June 15, 1995
Listed in Schedule A
Attached Hereto
qualification has been duly obtained pursuant to an order of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, (iii) filings or other actions
that may be required under the securities or Blue Sky laws of the
various states, and iv) the filings referred to in paragraphs 5 and 6
below, neither the execution and delivery by the Lessee of the
Refunding Agreement, the Original Participation Agreement, the
Original Tax Indemnity Agreement, the Tax Indemnity Agreement
Amendment, the Original Lease, the Lease Amendment, the Original Rent
Schedule, the Amended and Restated Rent Schedule, the Instrument of
Resignation, the Pass Through Trust Documents and the Purchase
Agreement Assignment, nor the consummation by the Lessee of any of the
transactions contemplated by the Refunding Agreement, the
Participation Agreement, the Tax Indemnity Agreement, the Lease, the
Amended and Restated Rent Schedule, the Instrument of Resignation, the
Pass Through Trust Documents and the Purchase Agreement Assignment
requires the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the
registration with, or the taking of any other action in respect of,
the Department of Transportation, the Federal Aviation Administration,
the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other Federal or New
York State governmental authority.
4. Each of the Refunding Agreement, the Original
Participation Agreement, the Original Tax Indemnity Agreement, the Tax
Indemnity Agreement Amendment, the Original Lease, the Lease
Amendment, the Original Rent Schedule, the Amended and Restated Rent
Schedule, the Instrument of Resignation, the Pass Through Trust
Documents and the Purchase Agreement Assignment has been duly executed
and delivered by the Lessee, and each of the Refunding Agreement, the
Participation Agreement, the Tax Indemnity Agreement, the Lease, the
Amended and Restated Rent Schedule, the Instrument of Resignation, the
Pass Through Trust Documents and the Purchase Agreement Assignment
constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Lessee
enforceable against the Lessee in accordance with its terms, except i)
as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the rights of
creditors generally and by general principles of equity and ii) in the
case of the Lease, as limited by applicable laws which may affect the
remedies provided in the Lease, which laws, however, do not
73
To Each of the Addressees 5 June 15, 1995
Listed in Schedule A
Attached Hereto
in our opinion make the remedies provided in the Lease inadequate for
the practical realization of the rights and benefits provided thereby.
5. Except for (i) the registration of the Aircraft with the
Federal Aviation Administration and (ii) the filing for recordation of
(x) the Manufacturer's FAA Bill of Sale, the Manufacturer's
Subsidiary's FAA Bill of Sale and the FAA Bill of Sale, y) the

Amended and Restated Indenture and the Instrument of Resignation, in
accordance with the Federal Aviation Act, (A) with respect to such
portion of the Aircraft as is covered by the recording system
established by the Federal Aviation Administration pursuant to Section
44107 of Title 49 of the United States Code, and assuming that at the
time of each such filing no other unrecorded documents relating to the
Aircraft have been filed pursuant to such Act but have not been shown
on indices of filed but unrecorded documents made available to special
Oklahoma City counsel, no further filing or recording of any document
is necessary or advisable under the laws of the State of New York or
the Federal laws of the United States of America in order to perfect
the Owner Trustee's interest in the Aircraft as against the Lessee and
any third parties in any applicable jurisdiction within the United
States; and B) with respect to such portion, if any, of the Aircraft
as may not be covered by such recording system, no further filing or
recording of any document (including any financing statement) is
necessary or advisable under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code
as in effect in any state in order to perfect the Owner Trustee's
interest therein as against the Lessee and any third parties in any
such state, except for the filing of a Uniform Commercial Code
financing statement in the State of Texas, which filing has been duly
effected, the filing of an assignment and amendment relating to such
financing statement, and the filing of continuation statements with
respect thereto required to be filed at periodic intervals under the
Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Texas.

6. The Lease Amendment, the Amended and Restated Indenture
and the Instrument of Resignation are in due form for recording and,
subject to i) the registration of the Aircraft with the Federal
Aviation Administration, and ii) the due and timely filing for
recordation of (w) the Manufacturer's FAA Bill of Sale, the
Manufacturer's Subsidiary's FAA Bill of Sale and the FAA Bill of Sale,
(x) the Original Lease (with the Lease Supplement covering the
Aircraft, the Original Indenture and the Trust Agreement and Indenture
Supplement covering the Aircraft attached), (y) the Original Indenture
(with such Trust Agreement and Indenture Supplement and the Original
Trust Agreement attached) and z) the Lease Amendment, the Amended and
Restated Indenture and the Instrument of Resignation, in accordance
with the Federal Aviation Act, and assuming that at the time of each
such filing no other unrecorded documents relating to the Aircraft
have been filed pursuant to such Act but have not been shown on
indices of filed but unrecorded documents made available to special
Oklahoma City counsel, the Indenture, as supplemented, creates a
security interest in the Owner Trustee's interest in the Aircraft,
and, except for such filing or recordation, no further filing or
recording of any such instrument or any other instrument is necessary
or advisable to establish and perfect such security interest and the
assignment for security purposes of the Lease and the Lease Supplement
covering the Aircraft to the Loan Trustee in any applicable
jurisdiction within the United States of America, except for the
filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements within the
States of Delaware and Texas, which filings have been duly effected,
the filing of assignments and amendments to Uniform Commercial Code
financing statements previously filed in the States of Delaware and
Texas, and the filing of continuation statements with respect to all
such financing statements required to be filed at periodic intervals
under the Uniform Commercial Code of the States of Delaware and Texas.
7. The Owner Trustee, as Lessor under the Lease, and the Loan
Trustee, as assignee of the Owner Trustee's rights under the Lease
pursuant to the Indenture, would be entitled to the benefits of
Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C.A. Section 1110) with
respect

In rendering the foregoing opinions, we have relied upon the
respective opinions, dated today and delivered to you, of (i) Crowe & Dunlevy,
P.C., special Oklahoma City counsel, as to matters of Federal aviation law and
(ii) Potter, Anderson & Corroon, special counsel for the Owner Trustee, as to
matters of Delaware law, and we have made no investigation of law or fact as to
the matters stated in such opinions. We have made the same assumptions as set
forth in such opinions (except as to the due authorization, execution and
delivery by the Lessee of the Refunding Agreement, the Original Participation
Agreement, the Original Lease, the Lease Amendment, the Original Rent Schedule,
the Amended and Restated Rent Schedule, the Instrument of Resignation, the Pass
Through Trust Documents and the Purchase Agreement Assignment), and our opinion
is subject to the same limitations as are therein set forth. With respect to
the judgments or orders referred to in paragraph 2 and insofar as the foregoing
opinion relates to Federal aviation laws, the Department of Transportation or
the Federal Aviation Administration and as to all matters of Texas law, we have
relied upon the opinion, dated today and delivered to you, of Anne H. McNamara,
Esq., Senior Vice President and General Counsel of the Lessee, and in our
opinion you and we are justified in relying on such opinion. We have also
assumed that the Refunding Agreement and the Participation Agreement and the
transactions contemplated thereby are not within the prohibitions of Section
406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.
Our opinion is limited to the laws of the State of New York,
the corporate law of the State of Delaware and the Federal laws of the United
States of America, except that we express no opinion with respect to the
securities laws of any state, including the State of New York.
This opinion is being furnished by us solely for your benefit
in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Refunding Agreement.
This opinion may not be relied upon or used for nay other purpose.

American Airlines, Inc.
(AA 1995 PTC Series AA)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am Senior Vice President and General Counsel of American
Airlines, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Lessee"), and as such I am
delivering this opinion in connection with the transactions contemplated by the
Refunding Agreement (AA 1995 PTC Series AA), dated as of __________, 1995 (the
"Refunding Agreement"), among the Lessee, Wilmington Trust Company, as Owner
Trustee (the "Owner Trustee"), State Street Bank and Trust Company of

Participant, The Mitsubishi Trust and Banking Corporation, New York Branch, as
Initial Bank Lender, and NationsBank of Georgia, National Association, as
Indenture Trustee. Capitalized terms used herein without definition are used as
defined in the Refunding Agreement.
In so acting, I have examined the Refunding Agreement, the
Original Participation Agreement, the Participation Agreement, the Original
Lease, the Lease Amendment, the Original Rent Schedule, the Amended and
Restated Rent Schedule, the Original Trust Agreement, the Trust Agreement
Amendment, the Original Indenture, the Amended and Restated Indenture, the
Original Tax Indemnity Agreement, the Tax Indemnity Agreement Amendment, the
Instrument of Resignation, the Pass Through Trust Documents, the Purchase
Agreement Assignment and the Pass Through Certificates and have examined and
relied upon the representations and warranties as to factual matters contained
therein or made pursuant thereto and upon the originals, or copies certified or
otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of such records, documents and other
instruments as in my judgment are necessary
78
To Each of the Addressees
Listed on Schedule A
Attached Hereto -2- __________, 1995
or appropriate to enable me to render the opinion expressed below.
Based on the foregoing, I am of the following opinion:
1. The Lessee holds an air carrier operating certificate
issued by the Secretary of Transportation pursuant to Chapter
447 of Title 49 of the United States Code pursuant to which the Lessee
is authorized to operate Boeing 767-323ER aircraft, the Lessee is a
"citizen of the United States" as defined in Section 40102 of Title 49
of the United States Code, and the Lessee's chief executive office (as
such term is defined in Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code in
effect in the State of Texas) is located in Fort Worth, Texas.
2. The execution and delivery by the Lessee of the
Refunding Agreement, the Original Participation Agreement, the
Original Tax Indemnity Agreement, the Tax Indemnity Agreement
Amendment, the Original Lease, the Original Rent Schedule, the Amended
and Restated Rent Schedule, the Lease Amendment, the Instrument of
Resignation, the Pass Through Trust Documents and the Purchase
Agreement Assignment, and the performance by the Lessee of the
Refunding Agreement, the Participation Agreement, the Tax Indemnity
Agreement, the Lease, the Amended and Restated Rent Schedule, the
Instrument of Resignation, the Pass Through Trust Documents and the
Purchase Agreement Assignment have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate action on the part of the Lessee, and do not
require any approval of stockholders of the Lessee or approval or
consent of, any trustees or holders of any indebtedness or obligations
of the Lessee known to me; and neither the execution and delivery of
any thereof by the Lessee nor the consummation or performance by the
Lessee of the transactions contemplated by the Refunding Agreement,
the Participation Agreement, the Tax Indemnity Agreement, the Lease,
the Amended and Restated Rent Schedule, the Instrument of Resignation,
the Pass Through Trust Documents and the Purchase Agreement Assignment
nor the compliance by the Lessee with any of the terms and provisions
thereof will contravene any law, governmental rule, regulation,
judgment or order known to me to be applicable to, or binding on, the
Lessee or for the Certificate of Incorporation or By Laws of the
Lessee
79
To Each of the Addressees
Listed on Schedule A

contravene or result in any breach of, or constitute any
default under, or result in the creation of any Lien (other than as
permitted under the Lease or the Indenture) upon any property of the
Lessee under, any indenture, mortgage, chattel mortgage, deed of
trust, conditional sales contract, bank loan, credit agreement,
contract or other agreement known to me to which the Lessee is a
party or by which any of its properties may be bound or affected.
3. Except as referred to in Section 9(c) of the
Refunding Agreement and the filings referred to in paragraphs 3, 5 and
6 of the opinion, dated today and delivered to you, of Debevoise &
Plimpton, neither the execution and delivery by the Lessee of the
Refunding Agreement, the Lease Amendment, the Amended and Restated
Rent Schedule, the Tax Indemnity Agreement Amendment, the Instrument
of Resignation, the Pass Through Trust Documents and the Purchase
Agreement Assignment, nor the consummation by the Lessee of the
transactions contemplated by the Refunding Agreement, the
Participation Agreement, the Tax Indemnity Agreement, the Lease, the
Amended and Restated Rent Schedule, the Instrument of Resignation, the
Pass Through Trust Documents and the Purchase Agreement Assignment
requires the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the
registration with, or the taking of any other action in respect of,
the Department of Transportation, the Federal Aviation Administration
or any governmental authority of the State of Texas.
4. No filing or recording of any document in the State
of Texas is necessary or advisable in order to perfect the Owner
Trustee's title to and interest in the Aircraft as against the Lessee
and any third party in the State of Texas, except for the filing of a
Uniform Commercial Code financing statement in the State of Texas
which filing has been duly effected, and the filing of an assignment
and amendment relating thereto in the State of Texas, which assignment
and amendment [have] been positioned for filing promptly upon closing,
and the filing of continuation statements with respect thereto
required to be filed at periodic intervals under the Uniform
Commercial Code of the State of Texas. No filing or recording of any
document in the State of Texas is necessary or advisable to
80
To Each of the Addressees
Listed on Schedule A
Attached Hereto -4- __________, 1995
establish and perfect the security interest in the Aircraft that the
Indenture, as supplemented, by its terms purports to create and the
assignment for security purposes of the Lease to the Loan Trustee in
accordance with the terms of the Indenture, except for the filing of
the financing statement and assignment and amendment relating thereto
referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph, and continuation
statements relating thereto.
5. There are no pending or, to the best of my knowledge,
threatened actions or proceedings before any court or administrative
agency or arbitrator that would materially adversely affect the
ability of the Lessee to perform its obligations under the Refunding
Agreement, the Participation Agreement, the Lease, the Amended and
Restated Rent Schedule, the Tax Indemnity Agreement, the Instrument of
Resignation, the Pass Through Trust Documents and the Purchase
Agreement Assignment.
In rendering the foregoing opinion, I have relied upon the opinion,
dated today and delivered to you, of Crowe & Dunlevy, P.C., special Oklahoma
City counsel. In so relying, I have made the same assumptions, and my opinion
is subject to the same limitations, as are therein set forth. I have also
assumed that the Refunding Agreement, the Participation Agreement and the
transactions contemplated thereby are not within the prohibitions of Section
406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.
I am delivering this opinion to you pursuant to the Refunding
Agreement, and no persons other than you and Debevoise & Plimpton are entitled
to rely on this opinion.
With your permission, my opinion is limited to the laws of the State
of Texas and the Federal laws of the United States of America, except that I
express no opinion with respect to the securities laws of any jurisdiction or
any other laws.

individual capacity except as specifically set forth therein, but solely as
Owner Trustee (the "Owner Trustee") under the Trust Agreement, long-term
financing is being provided in connection with one Boeing 767-323 aircraft
bearing U.S. Registration No. ___ (the "Aircraft"). This opinion is furnished
upon the request of the Owner Trustee pursuant to Sections 3(1) and 4(a) of the

(the "Equipment Notes").
The documents identified in paragraphs (a) through (1) above are
collectively referred to herein as the "Operative Documents."
We have also examined originals or copies of such other documents,
such corporate records, certificates and other statements of governmental
officials and corporate officers and other representatives of the corporations
or entities referred to herein and such other instruments as we have deemed
necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion. Moreover, as to
certain facts material to the opinions expressed herein, we have relied upon
the representations and warranties contained in the instruments referred to
above.
Based upon the foregoing and upon an examination of such questions of
law as we have considered necessary or appropriate, and subject to the
assumptions, exceptions and qualifications set forth below, we advise you that,
in our opinion:
1. The Trust Company is a Delaware banking corporation, duly
organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the State of
Delaware and has the corporate, banking and trust powers to enter into and
perform its obligations under the Trust Agreement, and the Owner Trustee has
the authority under the Trust Agreement to execute, deliver and perform its
obligations under the Operative Documents and to issue, execute, deliver and
perform its obligations under the Equipment Notes.
2. The Trust Company is a "citizen of the United States" within
the meaning of Section 40102(a)(15) of Title 49 of the United States Code.
3. Each Operative Document has been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by the Trust Company or by the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, and
constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Trust Company or the
Owner Trustee, as the case may be, enforceable against the Trust Company or the
Owner Trustee, as the case may be, in accordance with its respective terms. The
Trust Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Owner
Participant enforceable against the Owner Participant in
86

accordance with its terms. The Equipment Notes have been duly authorized,
issued, executed and delivered by the Owner Trustee, pursuant to authorization
contained in the Trust Agreement, and constitute the legal, valid and binding
obligations of the Owner Trustee enforceable against the Owner Trustee in
accordance with their terms and the terms of the Indenture; and the Equipment
Notes are entitled to the benefits and security afforded by the Indenture in
accordance with its terms and the terms of the Indenture.
4. Neither the execution and delivery by the Trust Company or the
Owner Trustee, as the case may be, of the Operative Documents, nor the
issuance, execution and delivery by the Owner Trustee of the Equipment Notes,
nor the fulfillment of or compliance by the Trust Company or the Owner Trustee,
as the case may be, with the respective provisions thereof, conflicts with, or
results in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitutes a
default under, or results in a violation of, the charter or by-laws of the
Trust Company, any law of the State of Delaware or any federal law of the
United States of America governing the banking or trust powers of the Trust
Company or, to the best of our knowledge, any agreement, indenture, instrument,
order, judgment or decree to which the Trust Company, the Owner Trustee or any
of their respective properties is subject.
5. No consent, approval or other action by or any notice to or
filing with any court or administrative or governmental body is required under
the laws of the State of Delaware or the federal laws of the United States of
America governing the banking or trust powers of the Trust Company in
connection with the authorization, execution and delivery by the Trust Company
or the Owner Trustee of the Operative Documents, the authorization, issuance,
execution and delivery by the Owner Trustee of the Equipment Notes, or the
fulfillment of or compliance by the Trust Company or the Owner Trustee with the
respective terms and provisions thereof.
6. The Trust Agreement creates for the benefit of the Owner
Participant the rights and interests in the Trust Estate which the Trust
Agreement by its terms purports to create, and such interest is subject and
subordinate to the security interests created by the Indenture to the extent
provided in the Indenture.

State of Delaware or any political subdivision thereof (other than Taxes
imposed on the fees received by the Owner Trustee for acting as trustee under
the Trust Agreement) which would not have been imposed if the trust created by
the Trust Agreement had not been created pursuant to the laws of the State of
Delaware and the Trust Company had not (a) been incorporated under the laws of,
(b) had its principal place of business in, (c) performed (individually or as

respect to the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part or any interest therein or
payable pursuant to the Lease, (iii)

interest therein or the applicability of the Lease to the Aircraft, any Engine
or any Part or any interest therein, (v) any or all of the Operative Documents,
the Pass Through Trust Documents, the Equipment Notes or any interest in any or
all thereof, or the offering, assumption, registration, reregistration,
issuance, acquisition, modification, reissuance, refunding or refinancing of
any or all thereof, and any other documents contemplated hereby or thereby and
amendments and supplements hereto and thereto, (vi) any change in the Owner
Trustee or the situs of the Trust Estate made pursuant to Section 9(d) of the
Participation Agreement, (vii) the property, or the income or other proceeds
received with respect to the property, held by the Loan Trustee under the
Indenture, (viii) the payment of the principal of or interest or premium on, or
other amounts payable with respect to, any or all of the Loan Certificates,
the Equipment Notes or the Pass Through Certificates, whether as originally
issued or pursuant to any refinancing, refunding, assumption, modification or
reissuance or any other obligation evidencing any loan in replacement of the
loan evidenced by any or all of the Equipment Notes or the Pass Through
Certificates, or (ix) otherwise with respect to or in connection with the
transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents or the Pass Through Trust
Documents, which would not have been imposed if the trust created by the Trust
Agreement had not been created pursuant to the laws of the State of Delaware
and the Trust Company had not (w) been incorporated under the laws of, (x) had
its principal place of business in, (y) performed (individually or as Owner
Trustee) its duties under the Operative Documents in, and (z) engaged in any
activities unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Operative
Documents or the Pass Through Trust Documents in, the State of Delaware.
8. The Owner Trustee has received from the Lessee such title to
the Aircraft as was conveyed to it by the Lessee, subject to the rights of the
Owner Trustee and the Lessee under the Lease and the security interest created
pursuant to the Indenture and the Trust Supplement; and, to our knowledge,
there exist no Liens affecting the interest of the Owner Trustee in the
Aircraft resulting from acts of the Owner Trustee, except Liens permitted by
the Participation Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Indenture, the Trust
Supplement, the
89
To Each of the Persons

Lease, and the Lease Supplement or created by the Trust Agreement, the
Indenture or the Trust Supplement.
9. All the properties which are part of the Indenture Estate
(including all right, title and interest of the Owner Trustee pledged and
mortgaged by it pursuant to the Indenture) have been pledged and mortgaged with
the Loan Trustee as part of the Indenture Estate, and the beneficial interest
of the Owner Participant under the Trust Agreement in and to such properties is
subject, to the extent provided in the Indenture, to the lien of the Indenture
in favor of the holders from time to time of the Equipment Notes.
10. To the extent that the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of
Delaware (the "UCC") is applicable, except for the Loan Trustee's taking of
possession of all monies, instruments and securities constituting part of the
Indenture Estate, no action, including the filing or recording of any document,
is necessary (i) to create in the State of Delaware the security interest in
the Indenture Estate (including the grant and assignment unto the Loan Trustee
of the security interest in all estate, right, title and interest of the Owner
Trustee in, to and under the Lease, the Lease Supplement, the Purchase
Agreement (to the extent assigned by the Purchase Agreement Assignment) and the
Purchase Agreement Assignment) which the Indenture by its terms purports to
create in favor of the Loan Trustee, and (ii) to perfect in the State of
Delaware such security interest, except for the filing of a UCC financing
statement in the State of Delaware, which filing has been duly effected, and
the filing of continuation statements with respect thereto required to be filed
at periodic intervals under the UCC.
11. To the best of our knowledge, there are no proceedings
pending or threatened against or affecting the Trust Company or the Owner
Trustee in any court or before any governmental authority, agency or
arbitration board or tribunal which, if adversely determined, individually or
in the aggregate, would materially and adversely affect the right, power and
authority of the Trust Company or the Owner Trustee to enter into or perform
its obligations under the instruments referred to in paragraph 1 above.
The foregoing opinions are subject to the following assumptions,
exceptions and qualifications:
90
To Each of the Persons
Listed on Schedule A
Attached Hereto
_________________, 1995
Page 8
A. The foregoing opinions are limited to the laws of the
State of Delaware and the federal laws of the United States of America
governing the banking and trust powers of the Trust Company. In addition, we
express no opinion with respect to (i) federal securities laws, including the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as
amended, (ii) the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended (except with respect
to the opinion set forth in paragraph 2 above concerning the citizenship of the
Trust Company), (iii) the Federal Communications Act of 1934, as amended, or
(iv) state securities or blue sky laws. Insofar as the foregoing opinions
relate to the validity and enforceability in Delaware of the Equipment Notes
and the Operative Documents expressed to be governed by laws other than the
laws of the State of Delaware, we have assumed that the Equipment Notes and
such Operative Documents constitute legal, valid, binding and enforceable
documents or instruments under such laws (as to which we express no opinion).
B. The foregoing opinions regarding the enforceability
of any document or instrument are subject to (i) applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, moratorium, reorganization, receivership, fraudulent conveyance and
similar laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally, and (ii)
general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
C. We have assumed the due authorization, execution and
delivery by each of the parties thereto, other than the Trust Company and the
Owner Trustee, of the Operative Documents to which each is a party and that
each of such parties has the full power, authority and legal right to execute
and deliver each such document.
D. The opinion set forth in paragraph 2 above concerning
the citizenship of the Trust Company is based upon an affidavit of the Trust
Company, made by its Vice President, the facts set forth in which we have not
independently verified.
E. We have assumed that all signatures (other than those
of the Trust Company and the Owner Trustee) on documents and instruments
submitted to us as originals are authentic, and that all documents and

TO THE PARTIES SET FORTH
IN SCHEDULE A HERETO
RE: AMERICAN AIRLINES, INC.
REFUNDING AGREEMENT (AA 1995 PTC SERIES AA)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are acting as special counsel to State Street Bank and Trust
Company of Connecticut, National Association, individually ("SSB"), and as Loan
Trustee (the "LOAN TRUSTEE") under the Trust Indenture and Security Agreement
(AA 1995 AF-1), dated as of June 15, 1992 between Wilmington Trust Company, as
Owner Trustee (the "OWNER TRUSTEE") and the Loan Trustee, as successor to
NationsBank of Georgia, National Association, and State Street Bank and Trust
Company (the "PARENT GUARANTOR") in connection with the transactions
contemplated by (i) that certain Refunding Agreement (AA 1995 PTC Series AA)
dated as of June 1, 1995 (the "REFUNDING AGREEMENT"), among SSB, as Loan
Trustee; American Airlines, Inc., as Lessee; AT&T Credit Holdings, Inc.
(formerly known as AT&T Credit Corporation), as Owner Participant; the Owner
Trustee; SSB, as Pass Through Trustee; Trust Company Bank, as Original Loan
Participant; The Mitsubishi Trust and Banking Corporation, New York Branch, as
Initial Bank Lender; and NationsBank of Georgia, National Association, as
Indenture Trustee, and (ii) the Guarantee (AA 1995 PTC Series AA) dated as of
June 1, 1995 (the "GUARANTEE") from the Parent Guarantor to the Beneficiaries
named therein. This opinion is delivered to you pursuant to Section 3(m) and
Section 4(a) of the Refunding Agreement. Except as otherwise defined herein,
terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Refunding Agreement.
Our representation of SSB, the Loan Trustee and the Parent Guarantor
has been as special counsel for the purposes stated above. As to all matters
of fact (including factual conclusions and characterizations and descriptions
of purpose, intention or other state of mind), we have relied entirely upon (i)
the representations of the parties set forth in the Operative Documents and
(ii) certificates delivered to us by the management of SSB
94
Page 2
and the Parent Guarantor, and have assumed, without independent inquiry, the
accuracy of those representations and certificates.
We have examined the Refunding Agreement, the Indenture, the Amended
and Restated Rent Schedule, the Instrument of Resignation, the Participation
Agreement, and the Guarantee, Certificates of the Comptroller of the Currency
and the Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks relating to SSB and the Parent
Guarantor, respectively, and originals, or copies certified or otherwise
identified to our satisfaction, of such other records, documents, certificates,
or other Instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable for the
purposes of this opinion.
We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures (other than those on
behalf of SSB, the Loan Trustee and the Parent Guarantor), the conformity to
the originals of all documents reviewed by us as copies, the authenticity and
completeness of all original documents reviewed by us in original or copy form
and the legal competence of each individual executing any document (other than
on behalf SSB, the Loan Trustee and the Parent Guarantor).
When an opinion set forth below is given to the best of our knowledge,
or to our knowledge, or with reference to matters of which we are aware or
which are known to us, or with another similar qualification, the relevant
knowledge or awareness is limited to the actual knowledge or awareness of the
individual lawyer in the firm that signed this opinion, the individual lawyers
in the firm who have participated directly in the specific transactions to
which this opinion relates or in the preparation of this opinion and the
partner of the firm responsible for SSB corporate trust matters, and without
any special or additional investigation undertaken for the purposes of this
opinion.
Each opinion set forth below relating to the enforceability of any
agreement or instrument against SSB, the Loan Trustee, or the Parent Guarantor,
as applicable, is subject to the following general qualifications:
(i) as to any agreement to which SSB, or the Loan Trustee, as
applicable, is a party, we assume that such agreement is the legal, valid and
binding obligation of each other party thereto (other than SSB and the Loan
Trustee, as the case may be);
(ii) the enforceability of any obligation of SSB, the Loan Trustee,
and the Parent Guarantor may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
conveyance, reorganization, moratorium, marshaling and other similar laws and
rules of law affecting the enforcement generally of creditors'
95
Page 3
rights and remedies (including such as may deny giving effect to waivers of
debtors' or guarantors' rights); and
(iii) the enforcement of any rights and availability of any specific
or equitable relief may in all cases be subject to an implied duty of good
faith and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such
enforceability or such relief is considered in a proceeding at law or in
equity).
Subject to the limitation set forth below, we have made such
examination of law as we have deemed necessary for the purposes of this
opinion. The opinions expressed in paragraphs 1 through 9 below are limited
solely to the internal substantive laws of the State of Connecticut and the
federal laws of the United States of America, and the opinions expressed in
paragraphs 10, 12, 13, 14 and 15 below are limited solely to the internal
substantive laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the federal laws of
the United States of America. The opinion expressed in paragraph 11 below is
limited solely to the internal substantive laws of the State of Connecticut and
the internal substantive laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. No opinion
is expressed herein as to the application or effect of federal securities laws
or as to the securities or so-called "Blue Sky" laws of any state or other
jurisdiction. In addition, other than our opinion expressed in paragraph 1
below with respect to the citizenship of SSB, no opinion is expressed as to
matters governed by Title 49 of the United States Code, or by any other law,
statute, rule or regulation of the United States relating to the acquisition,
ownership, registration, use, operation, maintenance, repair, replacement or
sale of or the nature of the Aircraft, Airframe or Engines.
With your permission, with respect to paragraphs 1 through 5 below in
connection with our opinion relating to the legality, validity and binding
effect of the documents there referred to, to the extent that the laws of the
State of Connecticut do not govern such documents, we have assumed that the
laws of the jurisdictions whose laws govern such documents are not materially
different from the internal substantive laws of the State of Connecticut.
This opinion is rendered solely for the benefit of those institutions
listed on Schedule A hereto and their successors and assigns in connection with
the transactions contemplated by the Refunding Agreement and may not be used or
relied upon by any other person or for any other purpose.
Based on and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
96

1. SSB is a national banking association duly organized and
validly existing in good standing with the Comptroller of the Currency under
the laws of the United States of America, is a "citizen of the United States"
within the meaning of Section 40102(a)(15) of Title 49 of the United States

the other parties thereto and that value has been given, each of the Refunding
Agreement, the Original Participation Agreement, the Original Indenture, the
Original Rent Schedule, the Participation Agreement, the Indenture, the Amended

legal, valid and binding obligation of SSB, individually or as Loan Trustee, as

and validly authenticated by SSB, as Loan Trustee, pursuant to the terms and

the Original Indenture, the Original Rent Schedule, the Participation
Agreement, the Indenture, the Amended and Restated Rent Schedule and the
Instrument of Resignation, and the authentication by the Loan Trustee of the
Equipment Notes issued today, have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action on the part of SSB, individually or as Loan Trustee, as the
case may be, and do not and did not require any approval of the stockholders of
SSB, and such execution, delivery and performance were not and are not in
violation of SSB's Articles of Association or By-laws, or of any indenture,
mortgage, credit agreement, license or other
97
Page 5
agreement or instrument, in each case known to us, to which SSB, individually
or as Loan Trustee, as the case may be, is a party or by which it in either

Schedule, the Participation Agreement, the Indenture, the Amended and Restated
Rent Schedule and the Instrument of Resignation nor the authentication by the
Loan Trustee of the Equipment Notes issued today nor the consummation of any of
the transactions by SSB, individually or as Loan Trustee, as the case may be,
contemplated thereby required or requires the consent or approval of, the
giving of notice to, or the registration with, or the taking of any other
action with respect to any governmental authority or agency under any existing

SSB;
6. there are no taxes (including, without limitation, net or

either capacity or the Lessee is a party or in connection with the
authorization, execution, issuance, authentication or delivery of any or all of

any activities unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Operative

performed, either in its individual capacity or as Loan Trustee, as the case
may be, any or all of its administrative duties under the Operative Documents
or the Instrument of Resignation in, and had not engaged in any activities
unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents or the

7. to the best of our knowledge there are no proceedings pending

Loan Trustee, as the case may be, in any court or before any governmental
authority, agency or arbitration board or tribunal which, if adversely

SSB in either capacity to enter into or perform its obligations under the
instruments referred to in paragraph 1 above;

or the provisions of any indenture, mortgage, contract or other agreement, in
each case known to us, to which it is a party or by which it or its properties

Re: American Airlines, Inc.
(AA 1995 PTC Series)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special counsel to AT&T Credit Holdings,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Owner Participant"), in connection with the
transactions contemplated by the Refunding Agreement dated as of _____________,
1995 (the "Refunding Agreement"), among American Airlines, Inc., as Lessee,
Wilmington Trust Company, as Owner Trustee, State Street Bank and Trust Company
of Connecticut, National Association, as Pass Through Trustee, NationsBank of
Georgia, National Association, as Indenture Trustee, Trust Company Bank, as
Original Loan Participant, State Street Bank and Trust Company of Connecticut,
National Association, as Loan Trustee, The Mitsubishi Trust and Banking
Corporation, New York Branch, as Initial Bank Lender, and the Owner
Participant. This opinion is given pursuant to Sections 3(n) and 4(a) of the
Refunding Agreement. Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms
used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Refunding Agreement.
In that connection, we have examined executed counterparts of
the Refunding Agreement, the Original Participation Agreement, the
Participation Agreement, the Original Trust Agreement, the Trust Agreement
Amendment, the Original Rent Schedule, the Amended and Restated Rent Schedule,
the Original Tax Indemnity Agreement and the Tax Indemnity Agreement Amendment
(collectively, the "Agreements"). We have further examined and relied upon the
accuracy of original, certified, conformed, photographic or telecopied copies
of such records, agreements, certificates and other documents as we have deemed
necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinions expressed herein.
In all such examinations, we have assumed the genuineness of signatures on
original documents and the conformity to such original documents of all copies
submitted to us as certified, conformed, photographic or telecopied copies,
and, as to certificates and telegraphic and telephonic
105
To Each of the Addresses

confirmations given by public officials, we have assumed the same to have been
properly given and to be accurate.
In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have assumed the
due authorization, execution and delivery of the Agreements by each party other
than the Owner Participant.
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
1. The Participation Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the
Refunding Agreement, the Amended and Restated Rent Schedule and the
Tax Indemnity Agreement constitute valid and binding obligations of
the Owner Participant, enforceable against the Owner Participant in
accordance with their respective terms, except as enforcement thereof
may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization
or other similar laws affecting enforcement of creditors' rights
generally and except as enforcement thereof is subject to general
principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is considered
in a proceeding in equity or at law).
2. Neither the execution and delivery of the
Participation Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Refunding Agreement,
the Amended and Restated Rent Schedule or the Tax Indemnity Agreement
by the Owner Participant nor the consummation by the Owner Participant
of any of the transactions therein contemplated, or the fulfillment
of, or compliance with, the terms and provisions of any thereof, (A)
requires the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the
registration with, or taking of any other action with respect to, any
governmental authority or agency of the State of New York or the
federal government of the United States of America or (B) contravenes
any law, governmental rule or regulation of the State of New York or
the federal government of the United States of America.
In rendering the foregoing opinions, we have, with your
consent, relied upon the opinion of even date herewith of Louis B. Fontana,
Esq., [Assistant Secretary] of the Owner Participant, as to the matters set
forth therein.
The foregoing opinions are subject, however, to the
qualification that we express no opinion as to (i) matters relating to the
title to or sufficiency or description of any property or collateral described
in the Participation Agreement or the Trust Agreement or the perfection or
relative priority of any lien or security interest created with respect to such
property or collateral thereunder or (ii) the enforceability of any
indemnification provisions of the Agreements insofar as they
106
To Each of the Addresses
Listed on Schedule A Attached Hereto
________________, 1995
Page 3
might require indemnification of an indemnified party as to any loss, cost or
expense arising out of any violation by any party of statutory duties, general
principles of equity or public policy. In addition, we express no opinion as to
matters governed by (i) any tax laws, (ii) the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as
amended, or any other laws, statutes, rules or regulations of the United States
of America relating to the acquisition, ownership, registration, leasing, use
or sale of the Aircraft, the Airframe or the Engines, (iii) any securities laws
or (iv) the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
We are licensed to practice law in the State of New York, and
we express no opinions herein as to the laws of any state or jurisdiction other
than the laws of the State of New York, the federal laws of the United States
of America and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

In rendering the opinions set forth below, I have assumed the
due authorization, execution and delivery of the Agreements by each of the
parties thereto other than the Owner Participant. In rendering the opinions set
forth below I have also assumed (i) the registration of the Aircraft with the
FAA in the name of the Owner Trustee effected on __________, 1992 is in full
force and effect, (ii) the due filing and recordation under the Federal
Aviation Act of 1958, as amended, of the Trust Indenture, as amended by the
Amended and Restated Trust Indenture and Security Agreement, and other
documents described in the opinion of Crowe & Dunlevy of even date herewith
addressed to you, (iii) the absence at the time of such recording of any Liens
in or upon such Aircraft, except for Liens created pursuant to the Operative
Documents, and (iv) the filing of the Uniform Commercial Code financing
statements and amendments thereto in the appropriate jurisdictions.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is my opinion that:
1. The Owner Participant is a duly incorporated and
validly existing corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of
Delaware and has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute,
deliver and perform its obligations under the Agreements.
2. The Agreements have been duly authorized, executed
and delivered by the Owner Participant.
3. Neither the execution of and delivery by the Owner
Participant of the Agreements nor the consummation by the Owner Participant of
any of the transactions contemplated thereby, nor the fulfillment of or
compliance with the terms and provisions of any of the Agreements that are
required to be fulfilled or complied with by the Owner Participant (a) requires
the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, or the registration with,
or the taking of any other action with respect to, any governmental authority
or agency of the Federal government of the United States; or (b) violates any
law, governmental rule or regulation of the Federal Government of the United
States or any governmental authority or agency thereof; or (c) results in the
breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Certificate of
Incorporation or By-Laws of the Owner Participant; or (d) to the best of my
knowledge without independent inquiry, is in violation of any judgment or order
applicable to the Owner Participant or any material provision of any indenture,
mortgage, contract or other agreement to which the Owner Participant is a party
or by which the Owner Participant is bound.

4. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending
or, to the best of my knowledge without independent investigation, threatened
against or affecting the Owner Participant in any court or before any
administrative agency or arbitrator, which, if adversely determined, would
materially and adversely affect the ability of the Owner Participant to perform
its obligations under the Agreements.
I am a member of the Bar of the State of Illinois, and I do
not express herein any opinion as to any matters governed by any law other than
the corporate laws of the State of Delaware and the Federal law of the United
States. No opinion is expressed herein as to matters governed by (i) any
Federal or state securities laws, (ii) any Federal or state tax laws, or (iii)
the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended, or by any other laws, statutes,
rules or regulations relating to the acquisition, ownership, registration,
leasing, use or sale of the Aircraft, the Airframe or the Engines.
This opinion is furnished by me at the request of the Owner
Participant for your sole benefit, and I agree that you may rely on the
opinions expressed herein. No other person or entity shall be entitled to rely
on this opinion without my express written consent. This opinion shall not be
published or reproduced in any manner or distributed or circulated to any

Based upon our examination of the above described instruments
and of such records of the FAA as we deemed necessary to render this opinion
and as were made available to us by the FAA, it is our opinion that:
(a) the Trust Agreement Amendment was duly filed with the
FAA pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions
of Sections 44102 and 44103 of the Code;
(b) the Instrument of Resignation, the Indenture and the
Lease Amendment are in due form for recordation by
and have been duly filed for recordation with the FAA
pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of
Section 44107 of the Code;
(c) the AC Form 8050 2 Aircraft Bill of Sale conveying
title to the Aircraft to the Owner Trustee was duly
recorded by the FAA on __________, pursuant to and in
accordance with the provisions of Section 44107 of
the Code and has been assigned FAA Conveyance No.
______________, the Lease (to which was attached the
Original Indenture) was duly recorded by the
FAA on the same date pursuant to and in accordance
with the provisions of Section 44107 of the Code and
has been assigned FAA Conveyance No. _______ and the
Original Indenture was duly recorded by the FAA on
the same date pursuant to and in accordance with the
provisions of Section 44107 of the Code and has been
assigned FAA Conveyance No. ______ ;
(d) the Aircraft is duly registered in the name of the
Owner Trustee pursuant to and in accordance with the
provisions of Sections 44102 and 44103 of the Code;
(e) the Owner Trustee is the owner of legal title to the
Aircraft, and the Aircraft and the Engines are free
and clear of all Liens (as such term is defined in
the Lease), except those created by the Original
Indenture, as assigned by the Instrument of
Resignation and amended and restated by the
Indenture, and the Lease, as assigned by the
Instrument of Resignation and amended by the Lease
Amendment;
115
Page 4
(f) the rights of the Owner Trustee and the Lessee under
the Lease, as assigned by the Instrument of
Resignation and amended by the Lease Amendment, with
respect to the Aircraft and the Engines are
perfected;
(g) the Original Indenture, as assigned by the Instrument
of Resignation and amended and restated by the
Indenture, constitutes a duly and validly perfected
first priority mortgage of the Aircraft and the
Engines and a duly perfected collateral assignment of
all of the right, title and interest of the Owner
Trustee in, to and under the Lease, as assigned by
the Instrument of Resignation and amended by the
Lease Amendment (insofar as such collateral
assignment affects an interest covered by the
recording system established by the FAA pursuant to
Section 44107 of the Code), subject only to the
Lease, as assigned by the Instrument of Resignation
and amended by the Lease Amendment;
(h) none of the Original Indenture, the Lease, the
Instrument of Resignation, the Indenture or the Lease
Amendment is required to be filed or recorded in any
other place within the United States in order to
perfect the mortgage of the Aircraft and the Engines
or the collateral assignment to the Loan Trustee of
the Lease, as assigned by the Instrument of
Resignation and amended by the Lease Amendment
(insofar as such collateral assignment affects an
interest covered by the recording system established
by the FAA pursuant to Section 44107 of the Code),
under the applicable laws of any jurisdiction within
the United States;
(i) no other registration of the Aircraft and no filings
other than the filings with the FAA which have been
effected as described above are necessary to perfect
in any jurisdiction within the United States the
Owner Trustee's title to and interest in the
Aircraft, the rights of the parties under the Lease,
as assigned by the Instrument of Resignation and
amended by the Lease Amendment, or the Loan Trustee's
security interest created by the Original Indenture,
as assigned by the Instrument of Resignation and
amended and
116
Page 5
restated by the Indenture, in and to the Aircraft and
the Engines and the collateral assignment of all of
the Owner Trustee's right, title and interest in, to
and under the Lease, as amended by the Lease
Amendment (insofar as such assignment affects an
interest covered by the recording system established
by the FAA pursuant to Section 44107 of the Code);
and
(j) no authorization, approval, consent, license or order
of, or registration or filing with, or the giving of
notice to, the FAA Aircraft Registry is required for
the valid authorization, delivery or performance of
the Original Indenture, the Instrument of
Resignation, the Indenture, the Lease and the Lease
Amendment, except for such filings as have been
effected.
No opinion is herein expressed as to: (i) laws other than the
federal laws of the United States; (ii) the validity or enforceability under
local law of the Original Indenture, as assigned by the Instrument of
Resignation and amended and restated by the Indenture; and (iii) the
recognition of the perfection of the mortgage and collateral assignment created
by the Original Indenture, as assigned by the Instrument of Resignation and
amended and restated by the Indenture, as against third parties in any legal
proceedings outside the United States. Since our examination was limited to
records maintained by the FAA Aircraft Registry, our opinion does not cover
liens which are perfected without the filing of notice thereof with the FAA,
such as federal tax liens, liens arising under Section 1368(a) of Title 29 of
the United States Code and possessory artisans' liens, and was subject to the
accuracy of FAA personnel in the filing, indexing and recording of instruments
filed with the FAA and in the search for encumbrance cross-reference index
cards for the Engines.
In rendering this opinion, we have relied upon the opinion of
the Assistant Chief Counsel for the Aeronautical Center dated _______________ ,
1992 (a copy of which is attached hereto) and upon the past practice of the FAA
which is consistent with said opinion. Said opinion is satisfactory as to form
and scope and the addressees and their counsel or special counsel are justified
in relying thereon.

TO THE PARTIES SET FORTH
IN SCHEDULE A HERETO
RE: AMERICAN AIRLINES, INC.
REFUNDING AGREEMENT (AA 1995 PTC SERIES AA)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are acting special as counsel to State Street Bank and Trust
Company of Connecticut, National Association, individually ("SSB"), and as Pass
Through Trustee (the "PASS THROUGH TRUSTEE") under the Pass Through Trust
Agreement, Amended and Restated as of February 1, 1992, between American
Airlines, Inc. and the Pass Through Trustee, and State Street Bank and Trust
Company (the "PARENT GUARANTOR") in connection with the transactions
contemplated by (i) that certain Refunding Agreement (AA 1995 PTC Series AA)
dated as of June _, 1995 (the "REFUNDING AGREEMENT"), among SSB, as Pass
Through Trustee; American Airlines, Inc., as Lessee; AT&T Credit Holdings, Inc.
(formerly known as AT&T Credit Corporation), as Owner Participant; Wilmington
Trust Company, as Owner Trustee; SSB, as Loan Trustee; Trust Company Bank, as
Original Loan Participant; The Mitsubishi Trust Banking Corporation, New York
Branch, as Initial Bank Lender; and NationsBank of Georgia, National
Association, as Indenture Trustee, and (ii) the Guarantee (Pass Through
Trustee) dated as of June __, 1995 (the "GUARANTEE") from the Parent Guarantor
to the Beneficiaries named therein. This opinion is delivered to you pursuant
to Section 4(b)(ii) of the Refunding Agreement. Except as otherwise defined
herein, terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Refunding
Agreement or in the Pass Through Trust Supplements or the Lease (as such terms
are defined in the Refunding Agreement).
Our representation of SSB, the Pass Through Trustee and the Parent
Guarantor has been as special counsel for the purposes stated above. As to all
matters of fact (including factual conclusions and characterizations and
descriptions of purpose, intention or other state of mind), we have relied
entirely upon (i) the representations of the parties set forth in the Operative
Documents and (ii) certificates delivered to us by the management of SSB
120
Page 2
and the Parent Guarantor, and have assumed, without independent inquiry, the
accuracy of those representations and certificates.
We have examined the Refunding Agreement, the Participation Agreement,
the Guarantee, the Pass Through Certificates and the Pass Through Trust
Documents, Certificates of the Comptroller of the Currency and the
Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks relating to SSB and the Parent Guarantor,
respectively, and originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our
satisfaction, of other such records, documents, certificates, or other
instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable for the purposes of this
opinion.
We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures (other than those on
behalf of SSB, the Pass Through Trustee and the Parent Guarantor), the
conformity to the originals of all documents reviewed by us as copies, the
authenticity and completeness of all original documents reviewed by us in
original or copy form and the legal competence of each individual executing
any document (other than on behalf of SSB, the Pass Through Trustee and the
Parent Guarantor).
When an opinion set forth below is given to the best of our knowledge,
or to our knowledge, or with reference to matters of which we are aware or
which are known to us, or with another similar qualification, the relevant
knowledge or awareness is limited to the actual knowledge or awareness of the
individual lawyer in the firm that signed this opinion, the individual lawyers
in the firm who have participated directly in the specific transactions to
which this opinion relates or in the preparation of this opinion and the
partner of the firm responsible for SSB corporate trust matters, and without
any special or additional investigation undertaken for the purposes of this
opinion.
Each opinion set forth below relating to the enforceability of any
agreement or instrument against SSB, the Pass Through Trustee, or the Parent
Guarantor, as applicable, is subject to the following general qualifications:
(i) as to any agreement to which SSB, or the Pass Through Trustee,
as applicable, is a party, we assume that such agreement is the legal, valid
and binding obligation of each other party (other than SSB and the Pass Through
Trustee, as the case may be) thereto;
(ii) the enforceability of any obligation of SSB, the Pass Through
Trustee, and the Parent Guarantor may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium, marshalling
121
Page 3
and other similar laws and rules of law affecting the enforcement generally of
creditors' rights and remedies (including such as may deny giving effect to
waivers of debtors' or guarantors' rights); and
(iii) the enforcement of any rights and the availability of any
specific or equitable relief of any kind may in all cases be subject to an
implied duty of good faith and to general principles of equity (regardless of
whether such enforceability or relief is considered in a proceeding at law or
in equity).
Subject to the limitation set forth below, we have made such
examination of law as we have deemed necessary for the purposes of this
opinion. The opinions expressed in paragraphs 1 through 7 below are limited
solely to the internal substantive laws of the State of Connecticut and the
federal laws of the United States of America, and the opinions expressed in
paragraphs 8, 10, 11, 12 and 13 below are limited solely to the laws of The
Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the federal laws of the United States of
America. The opinion expressed in paragraph 9 below is limited solely to the
internal substantive laws of the State of Connecticut and the internal
substantive laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. No opinion is expressed
herein as to the application or effect of federal securities laws or as to the
securities or so-called "Blue Sky" laws of any state or other jurisdiction. In
addition, other than our opinion expressed in paragraph 1 below with respect to
the citizenship of SSB, no opinion is expressed as to matters governed by Title
49 of the United States Code, or by any other law, statute, rule or regulation
of the United States relating to the acquisition, ownership, registration, use,
operation, maintenance, repair, replacement or sale of or the nature of the
Aircraft, Airframe or Engines.
With your permission, with respect to paragraphs 1 through 5 below in
connection with our opinion relating to the legality, validity and binding
effect of the documents there referred to, to the extent that the laws of the
State of Connecticut do not govern such documents, we have assumed that the
laws of the jurisdictions whose laws govern such documents are not materially
different from the internal substantive laws of the State of Connecticut.
In rendering the opinions set forth below in paragraphs 6 and 13 as to
certain Connecticut and Massachusetts tax matters, respectively, we have
assumed that, for federal income tax purposes, the trusts created by the Pass
Through Trust Supplements are not classified as associations taxable as
corporations and that the trusts created by the Pass Through Trust Supplements
are grantor trusts under subpart E, Part I of Subchapter J of Chapter 1 of
Subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
122
Page 4
This opinion is rendered solely for the benefit of those institutions
listed on Schedule A hereto and their successors and assigns in connection with
the transactions contemplated by the Refunding Agreement and may not be used or
relied upon by any other person or for any other purpose.
Based on and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
1. SSB is a national banking association duly organized and
validly existing in good standing with the Comptroller of the Currency under
the laws of the United States of America, is a "citizen of the United States"
within the meaning of Section 40102(a)(15) of Title 49 of the United States

the Refunding Agreement, the Participation Agreement and each of the Pass
Through Trust Documents;
2. each of the Refunding Agreement and the Pass Through Trust
Documents has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by SSB, individually
or as Pass Through Trustee, as the case may be, and, assuming the due
authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties thereto and that
value has been given, the Refunding Agreement, the Participation Agreement, the
Pass Through Certificates and the Pass Through Trust Documents constitute the
legal, valid and binding obligations of SSB, individually or as Pass Through
Trustee, as the case may be, enforceable against it in such capacities in
accordance with their respective terms;
3. the Pass Through Certificates issued on the date hereof have
been duly authorized and duly and validly executed, authenticated, issued and
delivered by SSB, as Pass Through Trustee, pursuant to the terms and provisions
of, and in accordance with the requirements of, each of the Pass Through Trust
Documents, as supplemented, and the holders thereof are entitled to the
benefits of the Pass Through Trust Agreement, as supplemented, pursuant to
which the Pass Through Certificates held by such holder were issued;
4. the execution, delivery and performance by SSB, individually
or as Pass Through Trustee, as the case may be, of the Refunding Agreement and
each of the Pass Through Trust Documents, the performance by it of the
Participation Agreement, and the purchase by the Pass Through Trustee of the
Pass Through Equipment Notes pursuant to the Refunding Agreement and the
issuance of the Pass Through Certificates pursuant to the Pass Through Trust
Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the
part of SSB, individually or as Pass Through Trustee,
123
Page 5
as the case may be, and do not and did not require any approval of the
stockholders of SSB, and such execution, delivery, performance and other
actions were not and are not in violation of SSB's Articles of Association or
By-laws or of any indenture, mortgage, credit agreement, license or other
agreement or instrument, in each case known to us, to which SSB, individually
or as Pass Through Trustee, as the case may be, is a party or by which it in
either capacity is bound, or of any judgment or order known to us or of any
federal law, rule or regulation relating to its banking or trust powers or any

5. neither the execution, delivery or performance by SSB,
individually or as Pass Through Trustee, as the case may be, of the Refunding

nor the performance by it of the Participation Agreement, nor the consummation
of any of the transactions by SSB, individually or as Pass Through Trustee, as
the case may be, contemplated thereby nor the purchase by the Pass Through
Trustee of the Pass Through Equipment Notes pursuant to the Refunding Agreement
or the issuance of the Pass Through Certificates pursuant to the Pass Through

notice to, or the registration with, or the taking of any other action with
respect to, any governmental authority or agency under any existing federal or
Connecticut law governing the banking, fiduciary or trust powers of SSB;
6. there are no taxes (including, without limitation, net or
gross income, tangible or intangible property, net worth, capital, franchise or

with respect to the authorization, execution and delivery by SSB, in its
individual capacity or as Pass Through Trustee, as the case may be, or by the
Lessee, of the Pass. Through Trust Documents., the Participation Agreement or
the Refunding Agreement or in connection with the authorization, execution,
issuance, authentication or delivery of any or all of the Pass Through
Certificates pursuant to the Pass Through Trust Documents. Neither SSB, in
its individual capacity or as Pass Through Trustee, as the case may be, the
trusts created by the Pass Through Trust Documents, any of the Trust Property
nor the Loan Trustee in its capacity as trustee, will be subject to any Taxes
under the laws of the State of Connecticut or any political subdivision thereof
(other than Taxes imposed on the fees received by SSB for acting as Loan
Trustee or as Pass Through Trustee). Holders of Pass Through Certificates or
persons acquiring an interest in Pass Through Certificates who are not
residents of or otherwise subject to tax in
124
Page 6
Connecticut will not be subject to any Taxes under the laws of the State of
Connecticut or any political subdivision thereof as a result of purchasing,
holding, owning (including receiving payments with respect to) or selling a
Pass Through Certificate. No applicable Taxes are imposed under the laws of the
State of Connecticut or any political subdivision thereof upon or with respect

with respect to the property, held by the Pass Through Trustee under the Pass
Through Trust Documents or (d) otherwise with respect to or in connection with

Trust Documents, which would not have been imposed if SSB had not had its
principal place of business in, and not performed, either in its individual
capacity or as Pass Through Trustee, as the case may be, any or all of its
administrative duties under the Pass Through Trust Documents in, and had not
engaged in any activities unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the
Operative Documents or the Pass Through Trust Documents in, the State of
Connecticut;
7. to the beat of our knowledge, there are no proceedings pending
or threatened against or affecting SSB, either in its individual capacity or as
Pass Through Trustee, as the case may be, in any court or before any
governmental authority, agency or arbitration board or tribunal which, if
adversely determined, individually or in the aggregate, would materially and
adversely affect the trusts created by the Pass Through Trust Documents or
would question the right, power and authority of SSB in either capacity to
enter into or perform its obligations under the instruments referred to in
paragraphs 1 and 3 above;

obligation of the Parent Guarantor enforceable against the Parent Guarantor in
accordance with its terms;
11. the execution and delivery of the Guarantee and compliance by
the Parent Guarantor with all of the provisions thereof do not and will not (i)
contravene any law or, (ii) contravene any order known to us of any court or

or the provisions of any indenture, mortgage, contract or other agreement, in
each case known to us, to which it is a party or by which it or its properties
may be bound or affected;
12. neither the execution nor the delivery of the Guarantee by the
Parent Guarantor nor the performance by the Parent Guarantor of the Guarantee
requires the consent, approval or authorization of, the giving of notice to,
the recording or filing, registration or qualification with, or the taking of
any other action in respect of any Massachusetts governmental authority on the
part of the Parent Guarantor.
13. there are no taxes (including, without limitation, net or
gross income, tangible or intangible property, net worth, capital, franchise or
doing business taxes), fees or other governmental charges ("Taxes") payable
under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or any political
subdivision thereof with respect to the authorization, execution and delivery
by SSB, in its individual capacity or as Pass Through Trustee, as the case may

proceeds received with respect to the property, held by the Pass Through
Trustee under the Pass Through Trust Documents or (d) otherwise with respect to

had not performed, either in its individual capacity or as Pass Through
Trustee, as the case may be, any or all of its administrative duties under the
Pass Through Trust Documents in, and had not engaged in any activities
unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents or the
Pass Through Trust Documents in, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

successors and permitted assigns ("Bank Lender Indemnitees") against
(1) any Taxes imposed on such Bank Lender or on payments made (or

Lessee and (2) any Taxes described in Section 7(c)(2)(xvi) or (xvii)
and attributable to such Bank Lender, together in each case with any

Each Bank Lender and the Indenture Trustee each agrees to furnish from

designate such duly executed and properly completed forms, statements
and other documentation ('Tax Forms') and assistance as may be
necessary or appropriate in order to claim any reduction of or

Forms described in Section 10(d)(iii) of the Refunding Agreement)

the Lessee specifying the Tax Forms to be completed. The Lessee shall
have no obligation to notify any Bank Lender or the Indenture Trustee
as to any Tax Forms described in Section 10(d)(iii) of the Refunding
Agreement. If any Bank Lender requests compensation for any amounts
for which the Lessee must indemnify such Bank Lender in accordance

Equipment Notes, this Agreement, the Participation Agreement and the

Trustee, so long as the relevant Pass Through Trust Supplement
is in effect), hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted
by law the benefit of the provisions of Section 1111(b) of
Title 11 of the United States Code to the extent such
provisions give recourse against the Owner Trustee (in its
individual capacity) and the Owner Participant on account of
any amount payable as principal of, Swap Breakage Loss, if
any, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest on the Equipment
Notes. If (i) all or any part of the Trust Estate becomes the
property of, or the Owner Participant becomes, a debtor
subject to the reorganization provisions of the Bankruptcy
Reform Act
34
Series AA
136
of 1978 or any successor provision, (ii) pursuant to such
reorganization provisions the Owner Trustee (in its individual
capacity) or 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 a holder
of an Equipment Note, a Pass Through Trustee or the Loan
Trustee, directly or indirectly, to make payment on account of
any amount payable as principal, Swap Breakage Loss, if any,
Make-Whole Amount, if any, or interest on the Equipment Notes
and (iii) such holder, such Pass Through Trustee or the Loan
Trustee actually receives any Excess Payment (as hereinafter
defined) which reflects any payment by the Owner Trustee (in
its individual capacity) or the Owner Participant on account
of (ii) above, then such holder, such Pass Through Trustee or
the Loan Trustee shall promptly refund to the Owner Trustee or
the Owner Participant (whichever shall have made such payment)
such Excess Payment. For purposes of this Section 9(k),
"Excess Payment" means the amount by which such payment
exceeds the amount which would have been received by such
Holder, such Pass Through Trustee or the Loan 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 9(k) shall prevent any holder of an Equipment Note,
any Pass Through Trustee or the Loan Trustee from enforcing
any personal recourse obligation (and retaining the proceeds
thereof) of the Owner Trustee (in its individual capacity) or
the Owner Participant under the Refunding Agreement, this
Participation Agreement or the Trust Indenture (and any
exhibits or annexes thereto).
(g) Section 9(m) of the Participation Agreement is
amended by deleting it in its entirety and substituting therefor the following:
"(m) Each of the Owner Participant and the Owner
Trustee hereby agrees, for the benefit of the Lessee, to
cooperate with the Lessee in effecting any foreign
registration of the Aircraft pursuant to Section 7(a)(i) of
the Lease; provided that prior to any such change in the
country of
35
Series AA
137
registry of the Aircraft (other than a change in country of
registry that results in the registration of the Aircraft
under the laws of the United States of America), the Owner
Participant, the Owner Trustee and the Bank Lenders shall have
received from counsel to the Lessee reasonably satisfactory to
the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee and Bank Lenders
holding a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Bank
Equipment Notes an opinion to the effect that (i) the terms of
any relevant sublease and the Lease are legal, valid, binding
and enforceable in such country to substantially the same
extent as such documents are at the time enforceable in the
United States, (ii) there is no statutory, regulatory or case
law in such country imposing tort liability on the owner of an
aircraft not in possession thereof, or on a lender providing
funds for the purchase of an aircraft, under the laws of such
country other than tort liability no more extensive or onerous
than that which might have been imposed on such an owner or
lender under the laws of the United States or any state
thereof (it being understood that, in the event such opinion
cannot be given in a form satisfactory to the Owner
Participant and Bank Lenders holding a majority in principal
amount of the Outstanding Bank Equipment Notes, such opinion
shall be waived if insurance reasonably satisfactory to the
Owner Participant and Bank Lenders holding a majority in
principal amount of the Outstanding Bank Equipment Notes is
provided by the Lessee to cover the risk of such liability),
(iii) such re-registration will not result in the imposition
by such country of any Taxes on the Owner Trustee, the Owner
Participant or any Bank Lender for which the Lessee is not
required to indemnify the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee
or any Bank Lender, as the case may be (provided that in lieu
of the opinion referred to in this clause (iii) the Lessee may
indemnify the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee or the Bank
Lenders, as the case may be, for any Taxes imposed by such
country in connection with or relating to the transactions
contemplated by the Operative Documents which would not have
been imposed but for such re-registration); (iv) there exist
no possessory rights in favor of the Lessee or any sublessee
under the laws of such country
36
Series AA
138
which would, upon bankruptcy of or other default by the Lessee
or any sublessee, prevent the return of the Aircraft to the
Owner Trustee in accordance with and when permitted by the
terms of Sections 14 and 15(a) of the Lease upon the exercise
by the Owner Trustee of its remedies under Section 15(a) of
the Lease; (v) it is not necessary for the Owner Participant
or the Owner Trustee to qualify to do business in such
jurisdiction solely as a result of the proposed
re-registration; (vi) the laws of such country require fair
compensation by the government of such country for the loss of
use of the Aircraft in the event of the requisition by such
government of the Aircraft (unless the Lessee shall have
provided contemporaneously with such re-registration insurance
reasonably satisfactory to the Lessor, the Owner Participant
and Bank Lenders holding a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Bank Equipment Notes covering the risk of
requisition of use of the Aircraft by the government of such
country so long as the Aircraft is registered under the laws
of such country); (vii) the Lessee shall have paid or made
provision for the payment of all expenses of the Owner
Participant, the Owner Trustee and the Bank Lenders in
connection with such change in registration; and (viii) solely
in the case of the Bank Lenders, after giving effect to such
change in registration, the Lien on the Aircraft and the other
property included in the Indenture Estate shall continue as a
valid and duly perfected lien and that all filing, recording
or other action necessary to perfect and protect the Lien of
the Indenture has been accomplished (or if such opinion cannot
be given at the time by which the Bank Lenders have been
requested to consent to a change in registration, (I) the
opinion shall detail what filing, recording or other action is
necessary and (II) the Bank Lenders shall have received a
certificate from the Lessee that all possible preparations to
accomplish such filing, recording and other action shall have
been done, and such filing, recording and other action shall
be accomplished and a supplemental opinion to that effect
shall be delivered to the Bank Lenders on or prior to the
effective date of such change in registration); and provided,
further, that (x) the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant and
the Bank Lend-
37
Series AA
139
ers shall have received prior to or contemporaneously with
such re-registration (1) a certificate of insurance signed by
an independent insurance broker to the effect that the
Aircraft is and after such re-registration will continue to be
insured in such country in accordance with the requirements of
Section 11 of the Lease, (2) a certificate signed by a duly
authorized officer of the Lessee stating that no Event of
Default exists as of the date of such certificate and no Event
of Default will occur or exist upon or resulting from such
re-registration, (3) evidence and assurances reasonably
satisfactory to the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant and
Bank Lenders holding a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Bank Equipment Notes, that the aircraft and engine
maintenance standards under the laws of such country of
re-registration are substantially similar to those required by
the central civil aviation authority of any of the United
States, the United Kingdom, the Federal Republic of Germany,
France, Canada or Japan, and (4) in the case of the Owner
Participant only, assurances reasonably satisfactory to it
that the currency of such country is freely convertible into
U.S. Dollars (unless the Lessee shall have made arrangements
reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Participant that all
payments to be made by or on behalf of the Lessee under the
Operative Documents and by any sublessee under the relevant
sublease will be paid in U.S. Dollars) and (y) the Lessee
shall not cause the Aircraft to be registered pursuant to
Section 7(a)(i) of the Lease under the laws of any foreign
jurisdiction without the prior written consent of the Owner
Participant if (1) the civil aviation laws of such foreign
jurisdiction impose unusual requirements on registrants of
civil aircraft, and (2) the Owner Participant would be
required to comply with such unusual requirements upon the
registration of the Aircraft in such foreign jurisdiction, and
the Owner Participant's compliance therewith would result in a
material burden on the Owner Participant's business
activities."

and substituting therefor the following:

the Lessee in effecting any foreign registration of the
Aircraft pursuant to Section 7(a)(i) of the Lease; and the

(in each case, such term to include the Equipment Notes originally

(i) the Lessee, the Owner Participant, the Loan
Trustee, the Owner Trustee, and any other appropriate parties

involve an underwriting agreement in connection with a public
offering; provided, however, that in the case of a refunding
or refinancing involving a public offering of debt securities,
the Lessee shall have the right to purchase such debt
securities and apply such debt securities as a credit against
its obligations to pay Rent to the extent permitted by the Tax
Indemnity Agreement) providing for (x) the issuance and sale
by the Owner Trustee or such other party as may be appropriate
to such institution or institutions on the date specified in
such agreement (for the purposes of this Section 17, the
"Refinancing Date") of United States dollar-denominated debt
securities in an aggregate principal amount equal to the sum
of the principal amount of the Equipment Notes to be redeemed,
on the Refinancing Date, and, subject to clause (w) of Section
17(a)(ii), all interest accrued thereon to the Refinancing
Date and (y) the application of the proceeds of the sale of
such debt securities to the redemption of all such Equipment
Notes on the Refinancing Date;
(ii) the Lessee and the Owner Trustee will amend the
Lease such that (w) if the Refinancing Date is not a Lease
Period Date, the Lessee shall on the Refinancing Date prepay
that portion of the next succeeding installment of Basic Rent
as shall equal the aggregate interest accrued on the Equipment
Notes then being redeemed on the Refinancing Date in the event
that such interest is not financed through the issuance of
debt securities on the Refinancing Date, (x) Basic Rent
payable in respect of the period from and after the
Refinancing Date shall be recalculated to preserve the Owner
Participant's Revised Net Economic Return, (y) amounts payable
in respect of Stipulated Loss Value and Termination Value from
and after the Re-
47

149
financing Date shall be appropriately recalculated to preserve
the Owner Participant's Revised Net Economic Return, and (z)
the Special Purchase Price Percentage and the Special Purchase
Option Date shall be recalculated as provided in Section 18;

provide for the securing thereunder of the debt securities
issued by the Owner Trustee pursuant to clause (a) of this
Section 17 in like manner as the Equipment Notes issuable
under the Trust Indenture and/or will enter into such
amendments and supplements to the Trust Indenture as may be
necessary to effect such refunding or refinancing, provided
that no such amendment or supplement will materially increase
the liabilities of or impair the rights of the Owner
Participant under the Operative Documents without the consent
of the Owner Participant; and
(iv) unless otherwise agreed by the Owner Participant,
the Lessee shall pay as Supplemental Rent on an After-Tax
Basis all reasonable fees, costs, and expenses of such
refunding or refinancing;
provided, however, that (v) the Lessee shall not request that less
than all of the Equipment Notes issued under the Trust Indenture be
redeemed as part of a refunding operation hereunder unless it
simultaneously requests that all the outstanding equipment notes held
in the same Pass Through Trust or by the same Bank Lender issued under
the Other Indentures be simultaneously redeemed, (w) there shall be no
more than two such refundings or refinancings (not including the
Section 20 Refinancing), (x) if within 15 days after receipt of a
request from the Lessee to effect a refunding or refinancing pursuant
to this Section 17, which request specifies the proposed structural
terms and the amount thereof, the Owner Participant provides the
Lessee with a written notice to the effect that there will be a risk
of adverse tax consequences to the Owner Participant resulting from
the refunding or refinancing and, if then requested by the Lessee in
writing, within 15 days after receipt of such request, the Owner
Participant provides the Lessee with a written opinion of independent
tax counsel selected by the Owner Partici-
48
Series AA
150
pant and reasonably acceptable to the Lessee to the effect that there
will be a risk of such adverse tax consequences to the Owner
Participant resulting from the refunding or refinancing (other than
the consequence that the refinanced loan constitutes "qualified
nonrecourse indebtedness" within the meaning of Temporary Regulations
Section 1.861-10T(b) for the purpose of the computation of the FSC
Benefits (as defined in the Tax Indemnity Agreement)), then the Owner
Trustee and the Owner Participant shall be required to effect such
refunding or refinancing only if the Lessee shall have agreed to
indemnify the Owner Participant against such identified adverse tax
consequences in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Owner
Participant; provided, however, the parties agree that in the absence
of a change in applicable laws, regulations, revenue rulings, revenue
procedures or judicial precedents enacted, adopted or decided after
the Delivery Date, a refinancing or refunding will not be deemed for
this purpose to result in a risk of the Owner Participant not being
considered the owner of the Aircraft, Airframe, any Engine or any Part
for Federal or other income tax purposes, (y) no such refinancing or
refunding shall require an increase in the amount of the Owner
Participant's investment in the beneficial ownership of the Aircraft
or shall cause the ratio of the newly issued debt to the Owner
Participant's then outstanding investment in the Aircraft to be more
than 4 to 1 and (z) except with respect to matters relating to taxes,
no such refunding or refinancing will materially increase the
liabilities of or impair the rights of the Owner Participant. In
addition, neither the refunding or refinancing, nor any related
adjustment of Basic Rent, shall increase or decrease the periodic
earnings (as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 13 issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board) of the
Owner Participant for any calendar year in the period (if any) from
the date of such refunding or refinancing to December 31, 1998 each by
an amount greater than 10% of the amount of earnings expected for each
such calendar year immediately prior to such refunding or refinancing.
"(b) The Equipment Notes, and any other debt instruments
issued in connection with any refunding or refinancing operation
permitted by this Section 17, shall not be subject to optional
redemption by the
49
Series AA
151
Owner Trustee without the consent of the Lessee, except as provided in
the Trust Indenture."

Transaction Costs are less or more than 1.0994% of Lessor's Cost, or
(B) prior to the acceptance of the Aircraft on the Delivery Date: (1)
there shall have occurred a Change in Tax Law and (2) after having
been advised in writing by the Owner Participant of such Change in Tax
Law and the proposed adjustment to the payments of Basic Rent
resulting therefrom, Lessee shall have waived its right under Section
11 of the Participation Agreement to decline to proceed with the
transaction, or (C) a refinancing or refunding as contemplated by
Section 17 hereof occurs, or (D) the Delivery Date is other than July
9, 1992, or (E) if the Certificates are not refunded or refinanced on

Amount (as defined in the Original Participation Agreement (after
adjustment for any Excess Payment Differential Amount) (as defined in
the Original Participation Agreement) is other than $1,148,975.21
then, in each case, the Owner Participant shall recalculate the
payments of Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss Values, Termination Values and
the Excess Payment Amount with respect to the Term (i) to preserve the
Owner Participant's Revised Net Economic Return and (ii) to minimize,
to the greatest extent possible, consistent with the foregoing clause
(i), the present value (discounted semiannually at an interest rate
per annum to be supplied by the Lessee) of the payments of Basic Rent.
In addition, in the event of a refinancing or refunding referred to in
clause (C) of the preceding sentence, the Special Purchase Price
Percentage and the Special Purchase Option Date shall be recalculated
in a manner consistent with the procedures specified in Section 20(c)
of the Original Participation Agreement. In performing any such
recalculations, the Owner Participant shall utilize the same methods
and assumptions used by the Owner Participant in the calculation of
the schedules included in the Amended and Restated Rent Schedule dated
as of the Refunding Date, as such assumptions may be changed as a
result of the event described in clause (A), (B), (C), (D) or (E) of
the second pre-
50
Series AA
152
ceding sentence necessitating such recalculation or due to the prior
occurrence of any such event; provided that, Basic Rent, as so
recomputed, shall comply with the requirements of Section 4.02(5) and
4.07(1) of Revenue Procedure 75-28, 1975-1 C.B. 752, and shall not
present a greater risk that Section 467(b)(2) of the Code would apply
than the risk that Section 467(b)(2) applied prior to such
recomputation, it being agreed that the requirements of clause (i) of
Section 5.01 of Rev. Proc. 75-21, 1975-1 C.B. 715, shall be applied on
a prospective basis.
(b) Paragraph (b) of Section 18 is amended by deleting the
words "Assumed Debt Rate" in each place they appear and substituting therefor
the words "Average Certificate Rate".
13. DELETION OF SECTION 20 OF THE PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT.
Section 20 is hereby deleted and the words "[Intentionally Omitted]"
substituted therefor.
14. AMENDMENT OF SECTION 21 OF THE PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT.

of the Loan Trustee set forth in Section 9.06 of the Trust Indenture,

and the Owner Trustee shall remove, the Loan Trustee and appoint a
successor Loan Trustee, provided that, if within ten Business Days
after the giving of the Removal Notice the Loan Trustee shall not have

have delegated to the Lessee the right, on behalf of the Owner
Trustee, to remove the Loan Trustee and appoint a successor, and, in
the event of the removal of the Loan Trustee in accordance with such
delegation, the Lessee agrees to appoint promptly a successor Loan
Trustee.

EXHIBIT N TO
REFUNDING AGREEMENT
Terms of Swap Transaction
(a) The Initial Bank Lender represents, warrants and covenants as
of the Refunding Date that for all purposes of the Operative Documents, it has
entered into an interest rate swap transaction (as the same may be assigned, in
whole or in part, to any other Bank Lender as provided below, the "Swap
Transaction") under a form of confirmation with a swap counterparty
satisfactory to the Lessee (the "Swap Counterparty") governed by an ISDA Master
Agreement (the "Swap Agreement") in the standard form thereof (the "Form")
published in 1992 by, and incorporating by reference therein the definitions
and provisions contained in the 1991 ISDA Definitions (the "Definitions") of,
the International Swap Dealers Association, Inc. and having the economic terms
set forth below in this Exhibit N. The Initial Bank Lender agrees that, in the
event of any transfer of any Bank Equipment Notes to a Permitted Transferee
pursuant to Section 10(e) of the Refunding Agreement, the Initial Bank Lender
shall either (x) assign or cause to be assigned the portion of the Swap
Transaction allocable to such Permitted Transferee's Bank Equipment Notes to
such Permitted Transferee and shall obtain the consent of the Swap Counterparty
to such assignment, it being agreed that no transfer, in whole or in part, of
any such Bank Equipment Note to such Permitted Transferee shall be permitted
under the Operative Documents unless such Permitted Transferee, prior to or
concurrently with such transfer, shall enter into a confirmation with the Swap
Counterparty conforming to the Swap Transaction in respect of such Permitted
Transferee's Bank Equipment Notes or (y) extend, pursuant to arrangements
reasonably satisfactory to the Lessee, the benefits of a pro rata share of the
Swap Transaction with the Swap Counterparty to such Permitted Transferee as
contemplated by the definition of "Swap Participation" set forth in the
Refunding Agreement. The parties agree that, notwithstanding anything herein or
in any Operative Document to the contrary, in the event that a Break Funding
Amount is required to be calculated pursuant to this Exhibit N, notwithstanding
any transfer from time to time of all or part of the Bank Equipment Notes
issued on the Refunding Date, any such Break Funding Amount shall be calculated
solely by reference to the economic terms set forth in this Exhibit N, and in
no event shall the aggregate of such Break Funding Amounts for all Bank Lenders
be calculated with respect to a Notional Amount (as such term is used in this
Exhibit N) at the time greater than the outstanding aggregate principal amount
of all of the Bank Equipment
Series AA
156
Notes subject to acceleration or being redeemed or purchased at such time. Each
Bank Lender agrees that, except as provided below, it will not amend or
terminate or permit to be terminated through its own action or inaction the
Swap Transaction in respect of its Bank Equipment Notes in a manner that would
have an adverse effect on the rights or interests of the Lessee without the
prior written consent of the Lessee (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld).
(b) The Initial Bank Lender agrees, and each other Bank Lender, by
becoming such, shall be deemed to have agreed, that the "Swap Breakage Gain" or
"Swap Breakage Loss", with respect to any Bank Lender whose Bank Equipment
Notes are redeemed (or purchased in lieu of redemption) or accelerated in
circumstances under which Swap Breakage Loss or Swap Breakage Gain is incurred
or received, as the case may be, by such Bank Lender, shall be determined as
follows: such Bank Lender (or, in the case of a Swap Participation, the Initial
Bank Lender acting on behalf of such Bank Lender) will use its best efforts to
cause the Swap Counterparty to advise the Lessee and the Owner Trustee of the
Market Quotation determined by such Swap Counterparty (such Swap Counterparty
being the party making the determination of the Market Quotation for purposes
of the definition of Market Quotation in the Swap Agreement) in connection with
the termination of that portion of the Swap Transaction allocable to that
portion of such Bank Lender's Secured Equipment Certificates then being so
redeemed or so accelerated. If such Market Quotation is a negative number, the
absolute value of the amount thereof shall be the Swap Breakage Gain
attributable to such Bank Lender for all purposes of the Operative Documents;
if such Market Quotation is a positive number, the amount thereof shall be the
Swap Breakage Loss attributable to such Bank Lender for all purposes of the
Operative Documents. Each Bank Lender acknowledges that the Lessee shall have
the right to designate two of the Reference Market-makers to be used by the
Swap Counterparty (such Reference Market-makers to be reasonably acceptable to
the Swap Counterparty) in connection with the Swap Counterparty's determination
of the Market Quotation for settlement of the Swap Transaction and agrees to
use its best efforts to cause the Swap Counterparty to cooperate with the
Lessee with respect to the provisions of this Exhibit N and to provide in a
timely fashion such information as the Lessee may reasonably request to
facilitate the quotation by such Reference Market-makers designated by the
Lessee.

subject to termination. In the event of a transfer of such
Bank Lender's Bank Equipment Notes pursuant to Section 14(b)
of the Refunding Agreement, the portion of the Swap
Transaction allocable to such Bank Lender shall be subject to
full termination in the event that the Replacement Bank
Lender(s) does not either assume its proportionate share of

shall, except as provided in the Underwriting Agreement with regard to fees and
expenses of the Underwriters, bear and pay all costs, expenses and fees referred
to in this Section 12; provided that: (i) if the transaction fails to be
consummated as a result of the failure of the Owner Participant to act in good
faith in consummating the transactions, or otherwise comply with the terms
hereof, the Owner Participant shall bear and pay its own fees, costs and
expenses (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of its special
counsel), and the Lessee shall pay all other reasonable fees, costs and expenses
as aforesaid; and (ii) if the transaction fails to be consummated as a result of

transactions, or otherwise comply with the terms hereof, the Initial Bank Lender
shall bear and pay its own fees, costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, the fees and expenses of its special counsel), and the Lessee shall
pay all other reasonable fees, costs and expenses as aforesaid.
SECTION 13. TERMS OF SWAP TRANSACTION. (a) Subject to
Section 2(c), the terms of the interest rate swap transaction to be entered
into by the Initial Bank Lender are described in Exhibit N hereto, as such
Exhibit N may be modified to reflect any changes in dates and the actual Fixed
Rate applicable to such swap transaction as determined pursuant to Section 2 of
this Refunding Agreement. Such Exhibit N shall constitute a part hereof as if
the terms thereof were set forth herein in full.
(b) Each Bank Lender agrees that, upon notice from the Owner
Trustee or the Lessee or upon otherwise learning of the possibility of the
occurrence of (i) any of the events described in Section 6.01 of the Indenture
or (ii) an acceleration or a redemption (or purchase in lieu of redemption) of
the Bank Equipment Notes, such Bank Lender
43
Series AB
47
(or, if the Initial Bank Lender is the sole counterparty to the Actual Swap,
the Initial Bank Lender) shall promptly (A) to the extent permitted by
applicable law, notify the Lessee and the Owner Trustee of such possibility and
(B) thereafter provide the Lessee and the Owner Trustee with a non-binding good
faith estimate of the Break Funding Amount.
(c) In the event any of the Bank Equipment Notes are redeemed
(or purchased in lieu of redemption) pursuant to Section 6.01 of the Indenture,
the Owner Trustee hereby directs each Bank Lender, and each Bank Lender hereby
agrees, to pay directly to the Lessee an amount equal to any Swap Breakage
Gain. In the event any of the Bank Equipment Notes are accelerated or redeemed
(or purchased in lieu of redemption) as a result of an Indenture Event of
Default that also constitutes a Lease Event of Default that has occurred and is
continuing, the Owner Trustee hereby directs each Bank Lender that is a swap
counterparty to the Actual Swap, and each such Bank Lender hereby agrees, to
pay directly to the Lessee an amount equal to any Swap Breakage Gain; provided
that no Bank Lender shall be required to make any such payment to the Lessee
pursuant to this sentence unless the Bank Equipment Notes held by such Bank
Lender that are subject to such acceleration or redemption (or purchase in lieu
of redemption) shall have been paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the event any of the Bank Equipment Notes are accelerated or redeemed (or
purchased in lieu of redemption) as a result of an Indenture Event of Default
that does not also constitute a Lease Event of Default, the Owner Trustee
hereby directs each Bank Lender that is a swap counterparty to the Actual Swap,
and each such Bank Lender hereby agrees, to pay directly to the Owner Trustee
for distribution pursuant to the Trust Agreement, an amount equal to any Swap
Breakage Gain; provided that no Bank Lender shall be required to make any such
payment to the Owner Trustee pursuant to this sentence unless the Bank
Equipment Notes held by such Bank Lender that are subject to such acceleration
or redemption (or purchase in lieu of redemption) shall have been paid in full.
SECTION 14. ADDITIONAL COSTS. (a) (i) Additional Costs.
If a Regulatory Change with respect to the Initial Bank Lender or any Permitted
Transferee shall (A) impose on such Bank Lender any reserve, special deposit or
any similar requirement with respect to the loan evidenced by its Bank
Equipment Notes or any capital adequacy requirement requiring the maintenance
by such Bank Lender of additional capital with respect to the loan evidenced by
its
44
Series AB
48
Bank Equipment Notes, or (B) change the basis of taxation in the jurisdictions
in which such Bank Lender has either its principal office or the lending office
through which it is participating in the Bank Equipment Notes (for such Bank
Lender, its "Lending Office") of any amounts payable to such Bank Lender under
the Indenture (other than any change with respect to (1) Taxes based on or
imposed on or with respect to or measured by the capital, receipts or
franchises of such Bank Lender or the overall net or gross income of such Bank
Lender or such Lending Office, or (2) Taxes imposed on such Bank Lender or such
Lending Office in lieu of or as a direct substitute for any Tax described in
the preceding clause (1)) and as a result of any of the foregoing there shall
be any material increase in the actual cost to such Bank Lender of making,
funding or maintaining the loan evidenced by its Bank Equipment Notes or any
material reduction in the amount receivable by such Bank Lender in respect
thereof, in either case where such event does not arise from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Bank Lender, from its breach of any of
its representations, warranties or covenants contained in any Operative
Document or from its failure to comply with any such Regulatory Change (any
such increase or reduction being referred to herein as an "Additional Cost"),
then, upon demand made by such Bank Lender to the Owner Trustee, with a copy
thereof to the Lessee, following the applicable Regulatory Change, the Owner
Trustee shall pay directly to such Bank Lender from time to time, commencing
within 15 days of the presentation by such Bank Lender of the certificate
specified in the final sentence of the first paragraph of Section 14(a)(ii)
hereof, an amount equal to the Additional Costs accruing from the date of
delivery of such certificate. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Owner
Trustee's obligation to pay Additional Costs shall be limited to making such
payments when and to the extent the Owner Trustee receives a corresponding
payment of Supplemental Rent from the Lessee.
(ii) Notices, Mitigation and Determinations. Each Bank
Lender will notify the Owner Trustee and the Lessee of any event occurring
after the date of this Agreement (or, if later, after the date on which such
Bank Lender purchased its Bank Equipment Notes) that will entitle such Bank
Lender to compensation under Section 14(a)(i) hereof or Section 7(c) of the
Participation Agreement as promptly as practicable, but, in the case of Section
14(a)(i) hereof, in any event within 30 days after the enactment date of the
relevant Regulatory Change. As a condition to a Bank Lender's receiving
compensation pursuant to this Section
45
Series AB
49
14(a)(i) or Section 7(c) of the Participation Agreement, each such Bank Lender
shall use its best efforts to avoid the need for, or to reduce the amount of,
such compensation, and such Bank Lender shall take all reasonable steps to so
avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation, including,
without limitation, designating a different Lending Office of such Bank Lender
(other than a Lending Office that would render such Bank Lender no longer a
Treaty Lender or an Exempt Lender, as the case may be), for the Bank Equipment
Notes; provided that such Bank Lender shall not be obligated to take any steps
that will, in its reasonable opinion, impose any material loss, cost, expense
or liability upon such Bank Lender. The affected Bank Lender shall furnish to
the Owner Trustee and the Lessee (A) in the case of Section 14(a)(i) hereof, an
opinion of counsel describing the Regulatory Change giving rise to the need for
the payment of such compensation pursuant to Section 14(a)(i) hereof and (B) an
Officer's Certificate describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to
such Bank Lender's right to the payment of such compensation pursuant to, and
the basis in reasonable detail of computing such compensation under, as
applicable, this Section 14(a) or Section 7(c) of the Participation Agreement,
including, without limitation, a description of the steps taken by such Bank
Lender to avoid or mitigate the amount of any such compensation referred to in
this Section 14(a) or Section 7(c) of the Participation Agreement and
certifying that such Bank Lender has complied with its obligations under this
Section 14(a) or Section 7(c) of the Participation Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
14(a), in no event shall the Owner Trustee be required to make payments under
this Section 14(a) in respect of any Regulatory Change proposed by any
applicable governmental authority (including any branch of a legislature),
central bank or comparable agency and pending as of the date of this Refunding
Agreement or, in the case of any Bank Lender that is an Assignee pursuant to
Section 10(e) hereof, pending as of the date of the transfer. In addition, the
Owner Trustee shall not be required to make payments under this Section 14(a)
to any Bank Lender if such Bank Lender's claim hereunder arises through
circumstances peculiar to such Bank Lender and which do not affect commercial
banking institutions in the same jurisdiction generally. No Bank Lender shall
seek payment with respect to Additional Costs hereunder if such Bank Lender is
not also seeking payment for similar increased costs in other similarly
situated transactions.
46
Series AB
50
(b) Certain Transfers of Bank Equipment Notes. If any Bank
Lender requests compensation for any amounts pursuant to Section 14(a) hereof
or Section 7(c) of the Participation Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall, but
only at the express direction of the Lessee (which direction the Lessee may, in
its sole discretion, elect to give), require that such Bank Lender transfer its
Bank Equipment Notes and all of its rights and obligations as a "Bank Lender"
under its Bank Equipment Notes, this Agreement, the Participation Agreement and
the Indenture to any Person or Persons (such Person or Persons being herein
referred to as the "Replacement Lender(s)") identified by the Owner Trustee (as
so directed by the Lessee) in a notice (the "Replacement Notice") to such Bank
Lender specifying the date on which such transfer is requested to occur, the
name(s) of the Replacement Lender(s) to which its interest in the Bank
Equipment Notes is to be transferred and the portion thereof to be transferred
to each, which notice shall be given not less than 15 Business Days prior to
the date on which such transfer is to occur. Promptly after its receipt of any
such notice from the Owner Trustee, unless such notice indicates that the
Replacement Lender(s) do not desire an assignment of the Actual Swap, if any,
or Swap Participation, if any, to which the affected Bank Lender is at such
time a party, (x) if such affected Bank Lender is party to an Actual Swap, such
affected Bank Lender shall ascertain whether its Swap Counterparty, if any,
shall agree to an assignment of its Actual Swap by such Bank Lender to the
proposed Replacement Lender(s) to the extent of their proposed respective
interest in the Bank Equipment Notes and (y) if such affected Bank Lender is a
party to a Swap Participation, such affected Bank Lender shall ascertain
whether the Initial Bank Lender shall agree to extend the Swap Participation to
the proposed Replacement Lender(s) to the extent of their proposed respective
interest in the Bank Equipment Notes (the Initial Bank Lender hereby agreeing
to take all commercially reasonable steps to accommodate such request). The
affected Bank Lender shall promptly notify the Owner Trustee and the Lessee as
to whether its Swap Counterparty shall accept such assignment to the
Replacement Lender(s), or as to whether the Initial Bank Lender shall extend a
Swap Participation to the Replacement Lender(s). On the date of the requested
relevant transfer, (x) the affected Bank Lender shall sell, assign and transfer
to the Replacement Lender(s), and the Replacement Lender(s) shall acquire and
assume from the affected Bank Lender, all of the rights and obligations of the
affected Bank Lender as a "Bank Lender" under the Bank Equipment Notes, this
Agreement, the Participation Agreement and the Indenture (and, if the affected
Bank Lender has an
47
Series AB
51
Actual Swap or Swap Participation being assigned to such Replacement Lender,
under such Actual Swap or Swap Participation) by executing and delivering an
agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lessee to be
bound by the terms of the Operative Documents and containing such amendments to
the representations, warranties and agreements to be made by such Replacement
Lender and the indemnities in favor of such Replacement Lender as the Lessee
may agree (for purposes of this Section 14(b), collectively, the "Transferred
Interest"), (y) the Lessee and/or the Replacement Lender(s) shall pay to the
affected Bank Lender an amount equal to all principal, interest and other
amounts then owing under this Agreement and the Indenture in respect of the
Transferred Interest (and, unless the affected Bank Lender has an Actual Swap
or Swap Participation being assigned to the Replacement Lender(s), plus an
amount equal to any Swap Breakage Losses, or minus an amount equal to any Swap
Breakage Gains, that would be payable by or to such Bank Lender if such Bank
Lender's Bank Equipment Notes were being redeemed in full), and (z) the Lessee
and/or the Replacement Lender(s) shall pay to the affected Bank Lender an
amount equal to all reasonable costs or expenses incurred by such Bank Lender
in connection with such transfer, whereupon the Replacement Lender(s) shall
each become a "Bank Lender" for all purposes of this Agreement having, except
as aforesaid, all the rights and obligations under this Agreement, the
Indenture and the other Operative Documents of each "Bank Lender" holding their
share of the Transferred Interest, and the obligations of the affected Bank
Lender in respect of the Transferred Interest shall terminate. In the event
the affected Bank Lender is a party to a Swap Participation and such Swap
Participation is not being assigned to the Replacement Lender(s), the Initial
Bank Lender agrees to terminate the Swap Transaction to the extent of such Swap
Participation.
SECTION 15. PREFUNDING. (a) To enable the Original Loan
Certificates to be redeemed on the Refunding Date in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement and the Original Indenture, the Initial Bank Lender shall pay
by no later than 2:00 P.M. on the Business Day next preceding the Refunding

not make the payment provided for in this Section 15(a) on the originally
scheduled Funding Date, the Funding Date may be postponed to such later date
(such date to be not later than July 31, 1995) as the Lessee shall designate in
writing to the Initial Bank Lender, which later date shall be at least four
Business Days following the date on which the Lessee delivers written notice
designating the delayed Funding Date, and the payment by the Initial Bank

the amount of the Deposit at a rate per annum equal to 80 basis points plus the
Initial Bank Lender's overnight cost of funds (or, if higher, 80 basis points
plus the floating rate base then applicable to the Initial Bank Lender as
floating rate payor under any then-applicable Swap), as certified by the
Initial Bank Lender to the Lessee. Accrued interest on the Deposit shall be
due and payable to the Initial Bank Lender on the earlier of the dates
specified in clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence.
(c) The Deposit will be invested and reinvested in Permitted

first sentence of this paragraph) will, at the direction of such Initial

53
Bank Lender or its representative to State Street (i) be applied by State

on any scheduled Refunding Date (or any postponed Refunding Date) and the
Lessee has not given timely notice to the Initial Bank Lender of a postponed
Funding Date in accordance with Section 15(a) above, be returned on (or, if
instructed by the Lessee in writing, prior to) the Refunding Date (or such
postponed Refunding Date) to the Initial Bank Lender. The Lessee shall
reimburse the Account on demand of State Street or the Initial Bank Lender for
any loss, cost or expense incurred as a result of any investment by State

hold the funds in the Account in trust for the Initial Bank Lender and shall
give such funds the same degree of care it gives other similar property held in

authenticity or validity of any notice, instruction, request or other document
delivered to it and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon

EXHIBIT A
GUARANTEE
(AA 1995 PTC Series ___)
GUARANTEE, dated as of ________________, 1995 by State Street Bank and
Trust Company, a Massachusetts corporation (the "GUARANTOR") to and for the
benefit of each person listed on Schedule I hereto (collectively, together with
their successors and permitted assigns, the "BENEFICIARIES" and, individually,
a "BENEFICIARY").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, State Street Bank and Trust Company of Connecticut, National
Association, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Guarantor (the "SUBSIDIARY")
wishes to act as trustee pursuant to the agreements listed on Schedule II
hereto (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the
"AGREEMENTS").
WHEREAS, the Beneficiaries are willing to have the Subsidiary act in
such capacity under the Agreements provided that the Guarantor executes and
delivers this Guarantee;
WHEREAS, the Guarantor has determined that the execution and delivery
by it of this Guarantee is necessary in order to conduct, promote and attain the
business of the Subsidiary and the Guarantor;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Guarantor hereby agrees with and for the benefit
of the Beneficiaries as follows:
1. GUARANTEE.
(a) The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably
guarantees to each of the Beneficiaries the prompt and complete payment by the
Subsidiary when due of, and the faithful performance of, and compliance with,
all payment obligations of the Subsidiary under the Agreements and each other
document referred to therein to which the Subsidiary is a party or by which the
Subsidiary is bound (collectively, the "RELEVANT DOCUMENTS"), in accordance
with the terms thereof and the timely performance of and compliance with all
other obligations of the Subsidiary thereunder (such payment and other
obligations, the "OBLIGATIONS"). In no event, however, shall the agreement
contained herein be construed to constitute a guarantee of any amount due with
respect to acts or events occurring after such time, if any, that the
Subsidiary ceases to be a party to the Relevant Documents.
62
-2-
(b) Until such time as all of the Obligations have been paid and
performed in full, no payment or payments made by the Subsidiary, the Guarantor,
any other guarantor or any other person or received or collected by any
Beneficiary from the Subsidiary, the Guarantor, any other guarantor or any
other person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or
appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of
or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or
otherwise affect the liability of the Guarantor hereunder except as to the
Beneficiary receiving such payment and solely by and to the extent of the net
amount thereof actually received and retained by such Beneficiary, and subject
in each case to the other provisions of this Guarantee (including but not
limited to Paragraph 3 hereof). In no event shall any such payment or payments
be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of the
Guarantor hereunder for the payment and performance in full of all of the
Obligations.
(c) If for any reason any Obligations to be performed or observed
by the Subsidiary shall not be observed or performed, or if any amount payable
by the Subsidiary referred to in Section 1(a) hereof shall not be paid when due
and payable, the Guarantor shall promptly perform or observe or cause to be
performed or observed each such Obligation or undertaking and shall forthwith
pay such amount at the place and to the person or entity entitled thereto
pursuant to the Relevant Documents.
2. Amendments etc., with respect to the Obligations: Waiver of
Rights. The Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that,
without any reservation of rights against the Guarantor and without notice to
or further assent by the Guarantor, any demand for payment or performance of
any of the Obligations made by any Beneficiary may be rescinded by such party
and any of the Obligations continued, and the Obligations, or the liability of
any other party upon or for any right of offset with respect thereto, may, from
time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified,
accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by any Beneficiary
and any Relevant Document and/or any collateral security document or other
guarantee or document in connection therewith, may be amended, modified,
supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the parties thereto may
deem advisable from time to time, and any right, title or interest in or to any
Relevant Documents, or the Aircraft (as defined in the Agreement), or any
collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by any
Beneficiary for the payment or performance of the Obligations may be sold,
exchanged, waived, surrendered, released, transferred or otherwise disposed of.
Without limiting the foregoing, the Guarantor unconditionally waives, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, (a) notices of the creation of any Obligation
under the Relevant Documents or any notice of or proof of reliance by any of
the Beneficiaries upon this Guarantee or acceptance of this Guarantee (the
Obligations shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted,
incurred or renewed, extended, amended or waived in reliance upon this
Guarantee and all dealings between the Subsidiary or the Guarantor and any
Beneficiary shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in
reliance upon this Guarantee), (b) all notices that may be required by statute,
rule of law or
63
-3-
otherwise, now or hereafter in effect, to preserve intact any rights of any of
the Beneficiaries against the Guarantor, including, without limitation, any
demand, presentment and protest, proof of notice of nonpayment under any
Relevant Document, and notice of default or any failure on the part of the
Subsidiary to perform or comply with any Obligation, (c) any right to the
enforcement, assertion or exercise by any of the Beneficiaries of any right,
power, privilege or remedy conferred herein or in any Relevant Document or
otherwise, (d) any requirement of promptness or diligence on the part of any of
the Beneficiaries, (e) any notice of the sale, exchange, waiver, surrender,
release, transfer or other disposition of any right, title or interest in or to
any Relevant Document, or the Aircraft (as defined in the Agreement), or any
collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by any
Beneficiary for the payment or performance of the Obligations, or (f) any other
circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable
discharge, release or defense of a guarantor or surety, or that might otherwise
limit recourse against the Guarantor.
3. Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. The Guarantor
understands and agrees that this Guarantee shall be construed as a primary
obligation of the Guarantor and is a present, continuing, absolute and
unconditional guarantee of payment and performance (and not merely of
collection) without regard to any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than
a defense of payment or performance in full) that may at any time be available
to or be asserted by the Subsidiary against any Beneficiary. When pursuing its
rights and remedies hereunder against the Guarantor, any Beneficiary may, but
shall be under no obligation to, pursue such rights and remedies as it may have
against the Subsidiary or any other person or entity or against any collateral
security or guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with
respect thereto, and any failure by any Beneficiary to pursue such other rights
or remedies or to collect any payments from the Subsidiary or any such other
person or entity or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee
or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Subsidiary or
any such other person or entity or any such such collateral security, guarantee
or right of offset, shall not relieve the Guarantor of any liability hereunder,
and shall not impair or affect the right and remedies, whether express, implied
or available as a matter of law, of any Beneficiary against the Guarantor. This
Guarantee shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be,
if at any time payment, in whole or in part, of any of the sums due to any of
the Beneficiaries pursuant to the terms of any Relevant Document is rescinded
or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition, dissolution, liquidation,
or the like, of the Subsidiary or the Guarantor, or upon or as a result of, the
appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar
powers with respect to the Subsidiary or the Guarantor or any substantial part
of their respective property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not
been made notwithstanding any termination of this Guarantee or any other
Relevant Document. This Guaranttee shall remain in full force and effect and be
binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the Guarantor
and the successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of the
Beneficiaries, and their respective successors, transferees and assigns, until
all of the Obligations and the obligations of the Guarantor under this
Agreement shall have been satisfied by payment and performance in full.

70
To Each of the Addressees 2 June 15, 1995
Listed in Schedule A
Attached Hereto
In so acting, we have examined or participated in the
preparation of the Refunding Agreement, the Original Participation Agreement,
the Original Tax Indemnity Agreement, the Tax Indemnity Agreement Amendment,
the Original Lease, the Lease Amendment, the Original Rent Schedule, the
Amended and Restated Rent Schedule, the Original Trust Agreement, the Trust
Agreement Amendment, the Original Indenture, the Amended and Restated
Indenture, the Instrument of Resignation, the Pass Through Trust Documents and
the Purchase Agreement Assignment and the form of the Pass Through Certificates

and warranties as to factual matters contained therein or made pursuant thereto
and upon the originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our
satisfaction, of such records, documents and other instruments as in our
judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinion
expressed below.
Based on the foregoing, we are of the following opinion:
1. The Lessee is a corporation duly incorporated, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware
and has the corporate power and authority to carry on its business as
presently conducted and has, or had on the respective dates of
execution thereof, the corporate power and authority to enter into its
obligations under the Refunding Agreement, the Original Participation
Agreement, the Participation Agreement, the Original Tax Indemnity
Agreement, the Tax Indemnity Agreement Amendment, the Original Lease,
the Lease Amendment, the Original Rent Schedule, the Amended and

Through Trust Documents and the Purchase Agreement Assignment and has
the corporate power and authority to perform its obligations under the
Refunding Agreement, the Participation Agreement, the Tax Indemnity
Agreement, the Lease, the Amended and Restated Rent Schedule, the
Instrument of Resignation, the Pass Through Trust Documents and the

2. The execution and delivery by the Lessee of the Refunding
Agreement, the Original Participation Agreement, the Original Tax
Indemnity Agreement, the Tax Indemnity Agreement Amendment, the
Original Lease,
71
To Each of the Addressees 3 June 15, 1995
Listed in Schedule A

the Lease Amendment, the Original Rent Schedule, the Amended and
Restated Rent Schedule, the Instrument of Resignation, the Pass
Through Trust Documents and the Purchase Agreement Assignment, and the
performance by the Lessee of the Refunding Agreement, the
Participation Agreement, the Tax Indemnity Agreement, the Lease, the
Amended and Restated Rent Schedule, the Instrument of Resignation, the
Pass Through Trust Documents and the Purchase Agreement Assignment,
have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the
part of the Lessee, and do not require any approval of stockholders of
the Lessee or approval or consent of any trustee or holders of any
indebtedness or obligations of the Lessee known to us, and neither the
execution and delivery of any thereof by the Lessee nor the
consummation by the Lessee of the transactions contemplated thereby
nor compliance by the Lessee with any of the terms and provisions
thereof contravene any law, governmental rule or regulation, judgment
or order known to us to be applicable to or binding on the Lessee, or
contravene or result in any breach of, or constitute any default
under, or result in the creation of any Lien (other than as permitted
by the Lease or the Indenture) upon any property of the Lessee under,
the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Lessee or any
indenture, mortgage, chattel mortgage, deed of trust, conditional
sales contract, bank loan or credit agreement or other agreement or
instrument known to us to which the Lessee is a party or by which the
Lessee or its properties may be bound or affected.
3. Except as referred to in Section 9(c) of the Refunding
Agreement and except for (i) action that may be required to register
the issuance and sale of the Pass Through Certificates under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), which
action has been duly accomplished upon the Lessee's Registration
Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 33-42998), as amended by
certain post-effective amendments thereto, having become effective
under the Securities Act, pursuant to orders of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, to the best of our knowledge no stop order
suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement having been
issued and no proceedings for that purpose having been instituted or
threatened, (ii) qualification of the Pass Through Trust Agreement
under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, which
72
To Each of the Addressees 4 June 15, 1995
Listed in Schedule A
Attached Hereto
qualification has been duly obtained pursuant to an order of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, (iii) filings or other actions
that may be required under the securities or Blue Sky laws of the
various states, and iv) the filings referred to in paragraphs 5 and 6
below, neither the execution and delivery by the Lessee of the
Refunding Agreement, the Original Participation Agreement, the
Original Tax Indemnity Agreement, the Tax Indemnity Agreement
Amendment, the Original Lease, the Lease Amendment, the Original Rent
Schedule, the Amended and Restated Rent Schedule, the Instrument of
Resignation, the Pass Through Trust Documents and the Purchase
Agreement Assignment, nor the consummation by the Lessee of any of the
transactions contemplated by the Refunding Agreement, the
Participation Agreement, the Tax Indemnity Agreement, the Lease, the
Amended and Restated Rent Schedule, the Instrument of Resignation, the
Pass Through Trust Documents and the Purchase Agreement Assignment
requires the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the
registration with, or the taking of any other action in respect of,
the Department of Transportation, the Federal Aviation Administration,
the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other Federal or New
York State governmental authority.
4. Each of the Refunding Agreement, the Original
Participation Agreement, the Original Tax Indemnity Agreement, the Tax
Indemnity Agreement Amendment, the Original Lease, the Lease
Amendment, the Original Rent Schedule, the Amended and Restated Rent
Schedule, the Instrument of Resignation, the Pass Through Trust
Documents and the Purchase Agreement Assignment has been duly executed
and delivered by the Lessee, and each of the Refunding Agreement, the
Participation Agreement, the Tax Indemnity Agreement, the Lease, the
Amended and Restated Rent Schedule, the Instrument of Resignation, the
Pass Through Trust Documents and the Purchase Agreement Assignment
constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Lessee
enforceable against the Lessee in accordance with its terms, except i)
as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the rights of
creditors generally and by general principles of equity and ii) in the
case of the Lease, as limited by applicable laws which may affect the
remedies provided in the Lease, which laws, however, do not
73
To Each of the Addressees 5 June 15, 1995
Listed in Schedule A
Attached Hereto
in our opinion make the remedies provided in the Lease inadequate for
the practical realization of the rights and benefits provided thereby.
5. Except for (i) the registration of the Aircraft with the
Federal Aviation Administration and (ii) the filing for recordation of
(x) the Manufacturer's FAA Bill of Sale, the Manufacturer's
Subsidiary's FAA Bill of Sale and the FAA Bill of Sale, y) the
Original Lease (with the Lease Supplement covering the Aircraft, the
Original Indenture, and the Trust Agreement and Indenture Supplement
covering the Aircraft attached), and (z) the Lease Amendment, the
Amended and Restated Indenture and the Instrument of Resignation, in
accordance with the Federal Aviation Act, (A) with respect to such
portion of the Aircraft as is covered by the recording system
established by the Federal Aviation Administration pursuant to Section
44107 of Title 49 of the United States Code, and assuming that at the
time of each such filing no other unrecorded documents relating to the
Aircraft have been filed pursuant to such Act but have not been shown
on indices of filed but unrecorded documents made available to special
Oklahoma City counsel, no further filing or recording of any document
is necessary or advisable under the laws of the State of New York or
the Federal laws of the United States of America in order to perfect
the Owner Trustee's interest in the Aircraft as against the Lessee and
any third parties in any applicable jurisdiction within the United
States; and B) with respect to such portion, if any, of the Aircraft
as may not be covered by such recording system, no further filing or
recording of any document (including any financing statement) is
necessary or advisable under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code
as in effect in any state in order to perfect the Owner Trustee's
interest therein as against the Lessee and any third parties in any
such state, except for the filing of a Uniform Commercial Code
financing statement in the State of Texas, which filing has been duly
effected, the filing of an assignment and amendment relating to such
financing statement, and the filing of continuation statements with
respect thereto required to be filed at periodic intervals under the
Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Texas.
74
To Each of the Addressees 6 June 15, 1995
Listed in Schedule A
Attached Hereto
6. The Lease Amendment, the Amended and Restated Indenture
and the Instrument of Resignation are in due form for recording and,
subject to i) the registration of the Aircraft with the Federal
Aviation Administration, and ii) the due and timely filing for
recordation of (w) the Manufacturer's FAA Bill of Sale, the
Manufacturer's Subsidiary's FAA Bill of Sale and the FAA Bill of Sale,
(x) the Original Lease (with the Lease Supplement covering the
Aircraft, the Original Indenture and the Trust Agreement and Indenture
Supplement covering the Aircraft attached), (y) the Original Indenture
(with such Trust Agreement and Indenture Supplement and the Original
Trust Agreement attached) and z) the Lease Amendment, the Amended and
Restated Indenture and the Instrument of Resignation, in accordance
with the Federal Aviation Act, and assuming that at the time of each
such filing no other unrecorded documents relating to the Aircraft
have been filed pursuant to such Act but have not been shown on
indices of filed but unrecorded documents made available to special
Oklahoma City counsel, the Indenture, as supplemented, creates a
security interest in the Owner Trustee's interest in the Aircraft,
and, except for such filing or recordation, no further filing or
recording of any such instrument or any other instrument is necessary
or advisable to establish and perfect such security interest and the
assignment for security purposes of the Lease and the Lease Supplement
covering the Aircraft to the Loan Trustee in any applicable
jurisdiction within the United States of America, except for the
filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements within the
States of Delaware and Texas, which filings have been duly effected,
the filing of assignments and amendments to Uniform Commercial Code
financing statements previously filed in the States of Delaware and
Texas, and the filing of continuation statements with respect to all
such financing statements required to be filed at periodic intervals
under the Uniform Commercial Code of the States of Delaware and Texas.
7. The Owner Trustee, as Lessor under the Lease, and the Loan
Trustee, as assignee of the Owner Trustee's rights under the Lease
pursuant to the Indenture, would be entitled to the benefits of
Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C.A. Section 1110) with
respect
75
To Each of the Addressees 7 June 15, 1995
Listed in Schedule A
Attached Hereto
to the Aircraft initially delivered under the Lease and subjected to
the Lease and the Indenture.
In rendering the foregoing opinions, we have relied upon the
respective opinions, dated today and delivered to you, of (i) Crowe & Dunlevy,
P.C., special Oklahoma City counsel, as to matters of Federal aviation law and
(ii) Potter, Anderson & Corroon, special counsel for the Owner Trustee, as to
matters of Delaware law, and we have made no investigation of law or fact as to
the matters stated in such opinions. We have made the same assumptions as set
forth in such opinions (except as to the due authorization, execution and
delivery by the Lessee of the Refunding Agreement, the Original Participation
Agreement, the Original Lease, the Lease Amendment, the Original Rent Schedule,
the Amended and Restated Rent Schedule, the Instrument of Resignation, the Pass
Through Trust Documents and the Purchase Agreement Assignment), and our opinion
is subject to the same limitations as are therein set forth. With respect to
the judgments or orders referred to in paragraph 2 and insofar as the foregoing
opinion relates to Federal aviation laws, the Department of Transportation or
the Federal Aviation Administration and as to all matters of Texas law, we have
relied upon the opinion, dated today and delivered to you, of Anne H. McNamara,
Esq., Senior Vice President and General Counsel of the Lessee, and in our
opinion you and we are justified in relying on such opinion. We have also
assumed that the Refunding Agreement and the Participation Agreement and the
transactions contemplated thereby are not within the prohibitions of Section
406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.
Our opinion is limited to the laws of the State of New York,
the corporate law of the State of Delaware and the Federal laws of the United
States of America, except that we express no opinion with respect to the
securities laws of any state, including the State of New York.
This opinion is being furnished by us solely for your benefit
in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Refunding Agreement.
This opinion may not be relied upon or used for nay other purpose.
Very truly yours,

Amendment, the Original Indenture, the Amended and Restated Indenture, the

To Each of the Addressees

or appropriate to enable me to render the opinion expressed below.
Based on the foregoing, I am of the following opinion:

Original Tax Indemnity Agreement, the Tax Indemnity Agreement

Agreement, the Lease, the Amended and Restated Rent Schedule, the

Purchase Agreement Assignment have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate action on the part of the Lessee, and do not
require any approval of stockholders of the Lessee or approval or
consent of, any trustees or holders of any indebtedness or obligations
of the Lessee known to me; and neither the execution and delivery of
any thereof by the Lessee nor the consummation or performance by the
Lessee of the transactions contemplated by the Refunding Agreement,
the Participation Agreement, the Tax Indemnity Agreement, the Lease,
the Amended and Restated Rent Schedule, the Instrument of Resignation,
the Pass Through Trust Documents and the Purchase Agreement Assignment
nor the compliance by the Lessee with any of the terms and provisions
thereof will contravene any law, governmental rule, regulation,
judgment or order known to me to be applicable to, or binding on, the
Lessee or for the Certificate of Incorporation or By Laws of the
Lessee

contravene or result in any breach of, or constitute any
default under, or result in the creation of any Lien (other than as
permitted under the Lease or the Indenture) upon any property of the
Lessee under, any indenture, mortgage, chattel mortgage, deed of
trust, conditional sales contract, bank loan, credit agreement,
contract or other agreement known to me to which the Lessee is a
party or by which any of its properties may be bound or affected.
3. Except as referred to in Section 9(c) of the
Refunding Agreement and the filings referred to in paragraphs 3, 5 and
6 of the opinion, dated today and delivered to you, of Debevoise &
Plimpton, neither the execution and delivery by the Lessee of the
Refunding Agreement, the Lease Amendment, the Amended and Restated
Rent Schedule, the Tax Indemnity Agreement Amendment, the Instrument
of Resignation, the Pass Through Trust Documents and the Purchase
Agreement Assignment, nor the consummation by the Lessee of the
transactions contemplated by the Refunding Agreement, the
Participation Agreement, the Tax Indemnity Agreement, the Lease, the
Amended and Restated Rent Schedule, the Instrument of Resignation, the
Pass Through Trust Documents and the Purchase Agreement Assignment
requires the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the
registration with, or the taking of any other action in respect of,
the Department of Transportation, the Federal Aviation Administration
or any governmental authority of the State of Texas.
4. No filing or recording of any document in the State
of Texas is necessary or advisable in order to perfect the Owner
Trustee's title to and interest in the Aircraft as against the Lessee
and any third party in the State of Texas, except for the filing of a
Uniform Commercial Code financing statement in the State of Texas
which filing has been duly effected, and the filing of an assignment
and amendment relating thereto in the State of Texas, which assignment
and amendment [have] been positioned for filing promptly upon closing,
and the filing of continuation statements with respect thereto
required to be filed at periodic intervals under the Uniform
Commercial Code of the State of Texas. No filing or recording of any
document in the State of Texas is necessary or advisable to

establish and perfect the security interest in the Aircraft that the
Indenture, as supplemented, by its terms purports to create and the
assignment for security purposes of the Lease to the Loan Trustee in
accordance with the terms of the Indenture, except for the filing of
the financing statement and assignment and amendment relating thereto
referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph, and continuation
statements relating thereto.
5. There are no pending or, to the best of my knowledge,
threatened actions or proceedings before any court or administrative
agency or arbitrator that would materially adversely affect the
ability of the Lessee to perform its obligations under the Refunding
Agreement, the Participation Agreement, the Lease, the Amended and
Restated Rent Schedule, the Tax Indemnity Agreement, the Instrument of
Resignation, the Pass Through Trust Documents and the Purchase
Agreement Assignment.
In rendering the foregoing opinion, I have relied upon the opinion,
dated today and delivered to you, of Crowe & Dunlevy, P.C., special Oklahoma
City counsel. In so relying, I have made the same assumptions, and my opinion
is subject to the same limitations, as are therein set forth. I have also
assumed that the Refunding Agreement, the Participation Agreement and the
transactions contemplated thereby are not within the prohibitions of Section
406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.
I am delivering this opinion to you pursuant to the Refunding
Agreement, and no persons other than you and Debevoise & Plimpton are entitled
to rely on this opinion.
With your permission, my opinion is limited to the laws of the State
of Texas and the Federal laws of the United States of America, except that I
express no opinion with respect to the securities laws of any jurisdiction or
any other laws.

(m) The Equipment Notes being issued on the date hereof
(the "Equipment Notes").
The documents identified in paragraphs (a) through (l) above are
collectively referred to herein as the "Operative Documents."
We have also examined originals or copies of such other documents,
such corporate records, certificates and other statements of governmental
officials and corporate officers and other representatives of the corporations
or entities referred to herein and such other instruments as we have deemed
necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion. Moreover, as to
certain facts material to the opinions expressed herein, we have relied upon
the representations and warranties contained in the instruments referred to
above.
Based upon the foregoing and upon an examination of such questions of
law as we have considered necessary or appropriate, and subject to the
assumptions, exceptions and qualifications set forth below, we advise you that,
in our opinion:
1. The Trust Company is a Delaware banking corporation, duly
organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the State of
Delaware and has the corporate, banking and trust powers to enter into and
perform its obligations under the Trust Agreement, and the Owner Trustee has
the authority under the Trust Agreement to execute, deliver and perform its
obligations under the Operative Documents and to issue, execute, deliver and
perform its obligations under the Equipment Notes.
2. The Trust Company is a "citizen of the United States" within
the meaning of Section 40102(a)(15) of Title 49 of the United States Code.
3. Each Operative Document has been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by the Trust Company or by the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, and
constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Trust Company or the
Owner Trustee, as the case may be, enforceable against the Trust Company or the
Owner Trustee, as the case may be, in accordance with its respective terms. The
Trust Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Owner
Participant enforceable against the Owner Participant in

accordance with its terms. The Equipment Notes have been duly authorized,
issued, executed and delivered by the Owner Trustee, pursuant to authorization
contained in the Trust Agreement, and constitute the legal, valid and binding
obligations of the Owner Trustee enforceable against the Owner Trustee in
accordance with their terms and the terms of the Indenture; and the Equipment
Notes are entitled to the benefits and security afforded by the Indenture in
accordance with its terms and the terms of the Indenture.
4. Neither the execution and delivery by the Trust Company or the
Owner Trustee, as the case may be, of the Operative Documents, nor the
issuance, execution and delivery by the Owner Trustee of the Equipment Notes,
nor the fulfillment of or compliance by the Trust Company or the Owner Trustee,
as the case may be, with the respective provisions thereof, conflicts with, or
results in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitutes a
default under, or results in a violation of, the charter or by-laws of the
Trust Company, any law of the State of Delaware or any federal law of the
United States of America governing the banking or trust powers of the Trust
Company or, to the best of our knowledge, any agreement, indenture, instrument,
order, judgment or decree to which the Trust Company, the Owner Trustee or any
of their respective properties is subject.
5. No consent, approval or other action by or any notice to or
filing with any court or administrative or governmental body is required under
the laws of the State of Delaware or the federal laws of the United States of
America governing the banking or trust powers of the Trust Company in
connection with the authorization, execution and delivery by the Trust Company
or the Owner Trustee of the Operative Documents, the authorization, issuance,
execution and delivery by the Owner Trustee of the Equipment Notes, or the
fulfillment of or compliance by the Trust Company or the Owner Trustee with the
respective terms and provisions thereof.
6. The Trust Agreement creates for the benefit of the Owner
Participant the rights and interests in the Trust Estate which the Trust
Agreement by its terms purports to create, and such interest is subject and
subordinate to the security interests created by the Indenture to the extent
provided in the Indenture.

State of Delaware or any political subdivision thereof (other than Taxes
imposed on the fees received by the Owner Trustee for acting as trustee under
the Trust Agreement) which would not have been imposed if the trust created by
the Trust Agreement had not been created pursuant to the laws of the State of
Delaware and the Trust Company had not (a) been incorporated under the laws of,
(b) had its principal place of business in, (c) performed (individually or as

respect to the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part or any interest therein or
payable pursuant to the Lease, (iii)

interest therein or the applicability of the Lease to the Aircraft, any Engine

all thereof, or the offering, assumption, registration, reregistration,
issuance, acquisition, modification, reissuance, refunding or refinancing of
any or all thereof, and any other documents contemplated hereby or thereby and
amendments and supplements hereto and thereto, (vi) any change in the Owner
Trustee or the situs of the Trust Estate made pursuant to Section 9(d) of the
Participation Agreement, (vii) the property, or the income or other proceeds
received with respect to the property, held by the Loan Trustee under the
Indenture, (viii) the payment of the principal of or interest or premium on, or
other amounts payable with respect to, any or all of the Loan Certificates,

loan evidenced by any or all of the Equipment Notes or the Pass Through
Certificates, or (ix) otherwise with respect to or in connection with the

Documents, which would not have been imposed if the trust created by the Trust
Agreement had not been created pursuant to the laws of the State of Delaware
and the Trust Company had not (w) been incorporated under the laws of, (x) had
its principal place of business in, (y) performed (individually or as Owner
Trustee) its duties under the Operative Documents in, and (z) engaged in any
activities unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Operative
Documents or the Pass Through Trust Documents in, the State of Delaware.
8. The Owner Trustee has received from the Lessee such title to
the Aircraft as was conveyed to it by the Lessee, subject to the rights of the
Owner Trustee and the Lessee under the Lease and the security interest created
pursuant to the Indenture and the Trust Supplement; and, to our knowledge,
there exist no Liens affecting the interest of the Owner Trustee in the
Aircraft resulting from acts of the Owner Trustee, except Liens permitted by
the Participation Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Indenture, the Trust
Supplement, the
90

Lease, and the Lease Supplement or created by the Trust Agreement, the
Indenture or the Trust Supplement.
9. All the properties which are part of the Indenture Estate
(including all right, title and interest of the Owner Trustee pledged and
mortgaged by it pursuant to the Indenture) have been pledged and mortgaged with
the Loan Trustee as part of the Indenture Estate, and the beneficial interest
of the Owner Participant under the Trust Agreement in and to such properties is
subject, to the extent provided in the Indenture, to the lien of the Indenture
in favor of the holders from time to time of the Equipment Notes.
10. To the extent that the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of
Delaware (the "UCC") is applicable, except for the Loan Trustee's taking of
possession of all monies, instruments and securities constituting part of the
Indenture Estate, no action, including the filing or recording of any document,
is necessary (i) to create in the State of Delaware the security interest in
the Indenture Estate (including the grant and assignment unto the Loan Trustee
of the security interest in all estate, right, title and interest of the Owner
Trustee in, to and under the Lease, the Lease Supplement, the Purchase
Agreement (to the extent assigned by the Purchase Agreement Assignment) and the
Purchase Agreement Assignment) which the Indenture by its terms purports to
create in favor of the Loan Trustee, and (ii) to perfect in the State of
Delaware such security interest, except for the filing of a UCC financing
statement in the State of Delaware, which filing has been duly effected, and
the filing of continuation statements with respect thereto required to be filed
at periodic intervals under the UCC.
11. To the best of our knowledge, there are no proceedings
pending or threatened against or affecting the Trust Company or the Owner
Trustee in any court or before any governmental authority, agency or
arbitration board or tribunal which, if adversely determined, individually or
in the aggregate, would materially and adversely affect the right, power and
authority of the Trust Company or the Owner Trustee to enter into or perform
its obligations under the instruments referred to in paragraph 1 above.
The foregoing opinions are subject to the following assumptions,
exceptions and qualifications:
91

_________________, 1995
Page 8
A. The foregoing opinions are limited to the laws of the
State of Delaware and the federal laws of the United States of America
governing the banking and trust powers of the Trust Company. In addition, we
express no opinion with respect to (i) federal securities laws, including the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as
amended, (ii) the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended (except with respect
to the opinion set forth in paragraph 2 above concerning the citizenship of the
Trust Company), (iii) the Federal Communications Act of 1934, as amended, or
(iv) state securities or blue sky laws. Insofar as the foregoing opinions
relate to the validity and enforceability in Delaware of the Equipment Notes
and the Operative Documents expressed to be governed by laws other than the
laws of the State of Delaware, we have assumed that the Equipment Notes and
such Operative Documents constitute legal, valid, binding and enforceable
documents or instruments under such laws (as to which we express no opinion).
B. The foregoing opinions regarding the enforceability
of any document or instrument are subject to (i) applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, moratorium, reorganization, receivership, fraudulent conveyance and
similar laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally, and (ii)
general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
C. We have assumed the due authorization, execution and
delivery by each of the parties thereto, other than the Trust Company and the
Owner Trustee, of the Operative Documents to which each is a party and that
each of such parties has the full power, authority and legal right to execute
and deliver each such document.
D. The opinion set forth in paragraph 2 above concerning
the citizenship of the Trust Company is based upon an affidavit of the Trust
Company, made by its Vice President, the facts set forth in which we have not
independently verified.

of the Trust Company and the Owner Trustee) on documents and instruments
submitted to us as originals are authentic, and that all documents and
instruments submitted to

verified.

opinion concerning, aviation law or other laws, rules or regulations applicable
to the particular nature of the equipment owned by the Owner Trustee.
G. We have assumed that the Participation Agreement, the
Refunding Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are not within
the prohibitions of Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974.
H. We have assumed the due authentication of the Equipment Notes
by the Loan Trustee.
I. No opinion is expressed as to the nature of the title to any
part of the Trust Estate or the priority of any mortgage or security interest.

TO THE PARTIES SET FORTH
IN SCHEDULE A HERETO
RE: AMERICAN AIRLINES, INC.
REFUNDING AGREEMENT (AA 1995 PTC SERIES AB)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are acting as special counsel to State Street Bank and Trust
Company of Connecticut, National Association, individually ("SSB"), and as Loan
Trustee (the "LOAN TRUSTEE") under the Trust Indenture and Security Agreement
(AA 1995 AF-2), dated as of July 1, 1992 between Wilmington Trust Company, as
Owner Trustee (the "OWNER TRUSTEE") and the Loan Trustee, as successor to
Nationsbank of Georgia, National Association, and State Street Bank and Trust
Company (the "PARENT GUARANTOR") in connection with the transactions
contemplated by (i) that certain Refunding Agreement (AA 1995 PTC Series AB)
dated as of June 1, 1995 (the "REFUNDING AGREEMENT"), among SSB, as Loan
Trustee; American Airlines, Inc., as Lessee; AT&T Credit Holdings, Inc.
(formerly known as AT&T Credit Corporation), as Owner Participant; the Owner
Trustee; SSB, as Pass Through Trustee; ABN AMRO BANK N.V., Houston Agency, as
Original Loan Participant; The Mitsubishi Trust and Banking Corporation, New
York Branch, as Initial Bank Lender; and NationsBank of Georgia, National
Association, as Indenture Trustee, and (ii) the Guarantee (AA 1995 PTC Series
AB) dated as of June 1, 1995 (the "GUARANTEE") from the Parent Guarantor to the
Beneficiaries named therein. This opinion is delivered to you pursuant to
Section 3(m) and Section 4(a) of the Refunding Agreement. Except as otherwise
defined herein, terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in the
Refunding Agreement.
Our representation of SSB, the Loan Trustee and the Parent Guarantor
has been as special counsel for the purposes stated above. As to all matters
of fact (including factual conclusions and characterizations and descriptions
of purpose, intention or other state of mind), we have relied entirely upon (i)
the representations of the parties set forth in the Operative Documents and
(ii) certificates delivered to us by the management of SSB
95
Page 2
and the Parent Guarantor, and have assumed, without independent inquiry, the
accuracy of those representations and certificates.
We have examined the Refunding Agreement, the Indenture, the Amended
and Restated Rent Schedule, the Instrument of Resignation, the Participation
Agreement, and the Guarantee, Certificates of the Comptroller of the Currency
and the Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks relating to SSB and the Parent
Guarantor, respectively, and originals, or copies certified or otherwise
identified to our satisfaction, of such other records, documents, certificates,
or other instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable for the
purposes of this opinion.
We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures (other than those on
behalf of SSB, the Loan Trustee and the Parent Guarantor), the conformity to
the originals of all documents reviewed by us as copies, the authenticity and
completeness of all original documents reviewed by us in original or copy form
and the legal competence of each individual executing any document (other than
on behalf SSB, the Loan Trustee and the Parent Guarantor).
When an opinion set forth below is given to the best of our knowledge,
or to our knowledge, or with reference to matters of which we are aware or
which are known to us, or with another similar qualification, the relevant
knowledge or awareness is limited to the actual knowledge or awareness of the
individual lawyer in the firm that signed this opinion, the individual lawyers
in the firm who have participated directly in the specific transactions to
which this opinion relates or in the preparation of this opinion and the
partner of the firm responsible for SSB corporate trust matters, and without
any special or additional investigation undertaken for the purposes of this
opinion.
Each opinion set forth below relating to the enforceability of any
agreement or instrument against SSB, the Loan Trustee, or the Parent Guarantor,
as applicable, is subject to the following general qualifications:
(i) as to any agreement to which SSB, or the Loan Trustee, as
applicable, is a party, we assume that such agreement is the legal, valid and
binding obligation of each other party thereto (other than SSB and the Loan
Trustee, as the case may be);
(ii) the enforceability of any obligation of SSB, the Loan Trustee,
and the Parent Guarantor may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
conveyance, reorganization, moratorium, marshaling and other similar laws and
rules of law affecting the enforcement generally of creditors'
96
Page 3
rights and remedies (including such as may deny giving effect to waivers of
debtors' or guarantors' rights); and
(iii) the enforcement of any rights and availability of any specific
or equitable relief may in all cases be subject to an implied duty of good
faith and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such
enforceability or such relief is considered in a proceeding at law or in
equity).
Subject to the limitation set forth below, we have made such
examination of law as we have deemed necessary for the purposes of this
opinion. The opinions expressed in paragraphs 1 through 9 below are limited
solely to the internal substantive laws of the State of Connecticut and the
federal laws of the United States of America, and the opinions expressed in
paragraphs 10, 12, 13, 14 and 15 below are limited solely to the internal
substantive laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the federal laws of
the United States of America. The opinion expressed in paragraph 11 below is
limited solely to the internal substantive laws of the State of Connecticut and
the internal substantive laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. No opinion
is expressed herein as to the application or effect of federal securities laws
or as to the securities or so-called "Blue Sky" laws of any state or other
jurisdiction. In addition, other than our opinion expressed in paragraph 1
below with respect to the citizenship of SSB, no opinion is expressed as to
matters governed by Title 49 of the United States Code, or by any other law,
statute, rule or regulation of the United States relating to the acquisition,
ownership, registration, use, operation, maintenance, repair, replacement or
sale of or the nature of the Aircraft, Airframe or Engines.
With your permission, with respect to paragraphs 1 through 5 below in
connection with our opinion relating to the legality, validity and binding
effect of the documents there referred to, to the extent that the laws of the
State of Connecticut do not govern such documents, we have assumed that the
laws of the jurisdictions whose laws govern such documents are not materially
different from the internal substantive laws of the State of Connecticut.
This opinion is rendered solely for the benefit of those institutions
listed on Schedule A hereto and their successors and assigns in connection with
the transactions contemplated by the Refunding Agreement and may not be used or
relied upon by any other person or for any other purpose.
Based on and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
97

validly existing in good standing with the Comptroller of the Currency under
the laws of the United States of America, is a "citizen of the United States"
within the meaning of Section 40102(a)(15) of Title 49 of the United States

the other parties thereto and that value has been given, each of the Refunding
Agreement, the Original Participation Agreement, the Original Indenture, the
Original Rent Schedule, the Participation Agreement, the Indenture, the Amended

legal, valid and binding obligation of SSB, individually or as Loan Trustee, as
the case may be, enforceable against it in such capacities in accordance with
its terms;

and validly authenticated by SSB, as Loan Trustee, pursuant to the terms and

Re: American Airlines, Inc.
(AB 1995 PTC Series)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special counsel to AT&T Credit Holdings,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Owner Participant"), in connection with the
transactions contemplated by the Refunding Agreement dated as of _____________,
1995 (the "Refunding Agreement"), among American Airlines, Inc., as Lessee,
Wilmington Trust Company, as Owner Trustee, State Street Bank and Trust Company
of Connecticut, National Association, as Pass Through Trustee, NationsBank of
Georgia, National Association, as Indenture Trustee, ABN AMRO Bank N.V.,
Houston Agency, as Original Loan Participant, State Street Bank and Trust
Company of Connecticut, National Association, as Loan Trustee, The Mitsubishi
Trust and Banking Corporation, New York Branch, as Initial Bank Lender, and the
Owner Participant. This opinion is given pursuant to Sections 3(n) and 4(a) of
the Refunding Agreement. Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms
used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Refunding Agreement.
In that connection, we have examined executed counterparts of
the Refunding Agreement, the Original Participation Agreement, the
Participation Agreement, the Original Trust Agreement, the Trust Agreement
Amendment, the Original Rent Schedule, the Amended and Restated Rent Schedule,
the Original Tax Indemnity Agreement and the Tax Indemnity Agreement Amendment
(collectively, the "Agreements"). We have further examined and relied upon the
accuracy of original, certified, conformed, photographic or telecopied copies
of such records, agreements, certificates and other documents as we have deemed
necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinions expressed herein.
In all such examinations, we have assumed the genuineness of signatures on
original documents and the conformity to such original documents of all copies
submitted to us as certified, conformed, photographic or telecopied copies,
and, as to certificates and telegraphic and telephonic
106

confirmations given by public officials, we have assumed the same to have been
properly given and to be accurate.
In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have assumed the
due authorization, execution and delivery of the Agreements by each party other
than the Owner Participant.
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
1. The Participation Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the
Refunding Agreement, the Amended and Restated Rent Schedule and the
Tax Indemnity Agreement constitute valid and binding obligations of
the Owner Participant, enforceable against the Owner Participant in
accordance with their respective terms, except as enforcement thereof
may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization
or other similar laws affecting enforcement of creditors' rights
generally and except as enforcement thereof is subject to general
principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is considered
in a proceeding in equity or at law).
2. Neither the execution and delivery of the
Participation Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Refunding Agreement,
the Amended and Restated Rent Schedule or the Tax Indemnity Agreement
by the Owner Participant nor the consummation by the Owner Participant
of any of the transactions therein contemplated, or the fulfillment
of, or compliance with, the terms and provisions of any thereof, (A)
requires the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the
registration with, or taking of any other action with respect to, any
governmental authority or agency of the State of New York or the
federal government of the United States of America or (B) contravenes
any law, governmental rule or regulation of the State of New York or
the federal government of the United States of America.
In rendering the foregoing opinions, we have, with your
consent, relied upon the opinion of even date herewith of Louis B. Fontana,
Esq., [Assistant Secretary] of the Owner Participant, as to the matters set
forth therein.
The foregoing opinions are subject, however, to the
qualification that we express no opinion as to (i) matters relating to the
title to or sufficiency or description of any property or collateral described
in the Participation Agreement or the Trust Agreement or the perfection or
relative priority of any lien or security interest created with respect to such
property or collateral thereunder or (ii) the enforceability of any
indemnification provisions of the Agreements insofar as they
107
To Each of the Addresses

________________, 1995
Page 3
might require indemnification of an indemnified party as to any loss, cost or
expense arising out of any violation by any party of statutory duties, general
principles of equity or public policy. In addition, we express no opinion as to
matters governed by (i) any tax laws, (ii) the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as
amended, or any other laws, statutes, rules or regulations of the United States
of America relating to the acquisition, ownership, registration, leasing, use
or sale of the Aircraft, the Airframe or the Engines, (iii) any securities laws
or (iv) the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
We are licensed to practice law in the State of New York, and
we express no opinions herein as to the laws of any state or jurisdiction other
than the laws of the State of New York, the federal laws of the United States
of America and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

Re: American Airlines, Inc. (AB 1995 PTC Series)
Gentlemen:
I am ______________________________ of AT&T Credit Holdings,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Owner Participant"), and have acted as
counsel to the Owner Participant in connection with the transactions
contemplated by that certain Refunding Agreement dated as of ______________,
1995 (the "Refunding Agreement") by and among American Airlines, Inc., as

Except as otherwise noted herein, all capitalized terms used
herein shall have the respective defined meanings set forth in the Refunding
Agreement.
In connection with my opinion herein, I have examined executed
counterparts of the Refunding Agreement, the Original Participation Agreement,
the Participation Agreement, the Original Trust Agreement, the Trust Agreement
Amendment, the Original Tax Indemnity Agreement, the Tax Indemnity Agreement
Amendment, the Original Rent Schedule and the Amended and Restated Rent
Schedule (collectively, the "Agreements"). I have relied upon the

originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of
such other documents as I have deemed relevant to the rendering of this
opinion. As to all matters of fact covered by such documents, I have relied,
without independent investigation or verification, on such documents. In such

In rendering the opinions set forth below, I have assumed the
due authorization, execution and delivery of the Agreements by each of the
parties thereto other than the Owner Participant. In rendering the opinions set
forth below I have also assumed (i) the registration of the Aircraft with the
FAA in the name of the Owner Trustee effected on __________, 1992 is in full
force and effect, (ii) the due filing and recordation under the Federal
Aviation Act of 1958, as amended, of the Trust Indenture, as amended by the
Amended and Restated Trust Indenture and Security Agreement, and other
documents described in the opinion of Crowe & Dunlevy of even date herewith
addressed to you, (iii) the absence at the time of such recording of any Liens
in or upon such Aircraft, except for Liens created pursuant to the Operative
Documents, and (iv) the filing of the Uniform Commercial Code financing
statements and amendments thereto in the appropriate jurisdictions.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is my opinion that:
1. The Owner Participant is a duly incorporated and
validly existing corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of
Delaware and has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute,
deliver and perform its obligations under the Agreements.
2. The Agreements have been duly authorized, executed
and delivered by the Owner Participant.
3. Neither the execution of and delivery by the Owner
Participant of the Agreements nor the consummation by the Owner Participant of
any of the transactions contemplated thereby, nor the fulfillment of or
compliance with the terms and provisions of any of the Agreements that are
required to be fulfilled or complied with by the Owner Participant (a) requires
the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, or the registration with,
or the taking of any other action with respect to, any governmental authority
or agency of the Federal government of the United States; or (b) violates any
law, governmental rule or regulation of the Federal Government of the United
States or any governmental authority or agency thereof; or (c) results in the
breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Certificate of
Incorporation or By-Laws of the Owner Participant; or (d) to the best of my
knowledge without independent inquiry, is in violation of any judgment or order
applicable to the Owner Participant or any material provision of any indenture,
mortgage, contract or other agreement to which the Owner Participant is a party
or by which the Owner Participant is bound.
111
To the Addressees Listed on

4. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending
or, to the best of my knowledge without independent investigation, threatened
against or affecting the Owner Participant in any court or before any
administrative agency or arbitrator, which, if adversely determined, would
materially and adversely affect the ability of the Owner Participant to perform
its obligations under the Agreements.
I am a member of the Bar of the State of Illinois, and I do
not express herein any opinion as to any matters governed by any law other than
the corporate laws of the State of Delaware and the Federal law of the United
States. No opinion is expressed herein as to matters governed by (i) any
Federal or state securities laws, (ii) any Federal or state tax laws, or (iii)
the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended, or by any other laws, statutes,
rules or regulations relating to the acquisition, ownership, registration,
leasing, use or sale of the Aircraft, the Airframe or the Engines.

Participant for your sole benefit, and I agree that you may rely on the

(f) the rights of the Owner Trustee and the Lessee under

Resignation and amended by the Lease Amendment, with
respect to the Aircraft and the Engines are
perfected;
(g) the Original Indenture, as assigned by the Instrument

Trustee in, to and under the Lease, as assigned by
the Instrument of Resignation and amended by the

(h) none of the Original Indenture, the Lease, the

(i) no other registration of the Aircraft and no filings

Page 5
restated by the Indenture, in and to the Aircraft and
the Engines and the collateral assignment of all of
the Owner Trustee's right, title and interest in, to
and under the Lease, as amended by the Lease
Amendment (insofar as such assignment affects an
interest covered by the recording system established
by the FAA pursuant to Section 44107 of the Code);
and
(j) no authorization, approval, consent, license or order
of, or registration or filing with, or the giving of
notice to, the FAA Aircraft Registry is required for
the valid authorization, delivery or performance of
the Original Indenture, the Instrument of

No opinion is herein expressed as to: (i) laws other than the
federal laws of the United States; (ii) the validity or enforceability under
local law of the Original Indenture, as assigned by the Instrument of
Resignation and amended and restated by the Indenture; and (iii) the
recognition of the perfection of the mortgage and collateral assignment created
by the Original Indenture, as assigned by the Instrument of Resignation and
amended and restated by the Indenture, as against third parties in any legal
proceedings outside the United States. Since our examination was limited to
records maintained by the FAA Aircraft Registry, our opinion does not cover
liens which are perfected without the filing of notice thereof with the FAA,
such as federal tax liens, liens arising under Section 1368(a) of Title 29 of
the United States Code and possessory artisans' liens, and was subject to the
accuracy of FAA personnel in the filing, indexing and recording of instruments
filed with the FAA and in the search for encumbrance cross-reference index
cards for the Engines.
In rendering this opinion, we have relied upon the opinion of
the Assistant Chief Counsel for the Aeronautical Center dated _______________ ,
1992 (a copy of which is attached hereto) and upon the past practice of the FAA
which is consistent with said opinion. Said opinion is satisfactory as to form
and scope and the addressees and their counsel or special counsel are justified
in relying thereon.

TO THE PARTIES SET FORTH
IN SCHEDULE A HERETO
RE: AMERICAN AIRLINES, INC.
REFUNDING AGREEMENT (AA 1995 PTC SERIES AB)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are acting special as counsel to State Street Bank and Trust
Company of Connecticut, National Association, individually ("SSB"), and as Pass
Through Trustee (the "PASS THROUGH TRUSTEE") under the Pass Through Trust
Agreement, Amended and Restated as of February 1, 1992, between American
Airlines, Inc. and the Pass Through Trustee, and State Street Bank and Trust
Company (the "PARENT GUARANTOR") in connection with the transactions
contemplated by (i) that certain Refunding Agreement (AA 1995 PTC Series AB)
dated as of June _, 1995 (the "REFUNDING AGREEMENT"), among SSB, as Pass
Through Trustee; American Airlines, Inc., as Lessee; AT&T Credit Holdings, Inc.
(formerly known as AT&T Credit Corporation), as Owner Participant; Wilmington
Trust Company, as Owner Trustee; SSB, as Loan Trustee; ABN AMRO BANK N.V.,
Houston Agency, as Original Loan Participant; The Mitsubishi Trust Banking
Corporation, New York Branch, as Initial Bank Lender; and NationsBank of
Georgia, National Association, as Indenture Trustee, and (ii) the Guarantee
(Pass Through Trustee) dated as of June __, 1995 (the "GUARANTEE") from the
Parent Guarantor to the Beneficiaries named therein. This opinion is delivered
to you pursuant to Section 4(b)(ii) of the Refunding Agreement. Except as
otherwise defined herein, terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth
in the Refunding Agreement or in the Pass Through Trust Supplements or the
Lease (as such terms are defined in the Refunding Agreement).
Our representation of SSB, the Pass Through Trustee and the Parent
Guarantor has been as special counsel for the purposes stated above. As to all
matters of fact (including factual conclusions and characterizations and
descriptions of purpose, intention or other state of mind), we have relied
entirely upon (i) the representations of the parties set forth in the Operative
Documents and (ii) certificates delivered to us by the management of SSB
121
Page 2
and the Parent Guarantor, and have assumed, without independent inquiry, the
accuracy of those representations and certificates.
We have examined the Refunding Agreement, the Participation Agreement,
the Guarantee, the Pass Through Certificates and the Pass Through Trust
Documents, Certificates of the Comptroller of the Currency and the
Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks relating to SSB and the Parent Guarantor,
respectively, and originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our
satisfaction, of other such records, documents, certificates, or other
instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable for the purposes of this
opinion.
We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures (other than those on
behalf of SSB, the Pass Through Trustee and the Parent Guarantor), the
conformity to the originals of all documents reviewed by us as copies, the
authenticity and completeness of all original documents reviewed by us in
original or copy form and the legal competence of each individual executing
any document (other than on behalf of SSB, the Pass Through Trustee and the
Parent Guarantor).
When an opinion set forth below is given to the best of our knowledge,
or to our knowledge, or with reference to matters of which we are aware or
which are known to us, or with another similar qualification, the relevant
knowledge or awareness is limited to the actual knowledge or awareness of the
individual lawyer in the firm that signed this opinion, the individual lawyers
in the firm who have participated directly in the specific transactions to
which this opinion relates or in the preparation of this opinion and the
partner of the firm responsible for SSB corporate trust matters, and without
any special or additional investigation undertaken for the purposes of this
opinion.
Each opinion set forth below relating to the enforceability of any
agreement or instrument against SSB, the Pass Through Trustee, or the Parent
Guarantor, as applicable, is subject to the following general qualifications:
(i) as to any agreement to which SSB, or the Pass Through Trustee,
as applicable, is a party, we assume that such agreement is the legal, valid
and binding obligation of each other party (other than SSB and the Pass Through
Trustee, as the case may be) thereto;
(ii) the enforceability of any obligation of SSB, the Pass Through
Trustee, and the Parent Guarantor may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium, marshalling
122
Page 3
and other similar laws and rules of law affecting the enforcement generally of
creditors' rights and remedies (including such as may deny giving effect to
waivers of debtors' or guarantors' rights); and
(iii) the enforcement of any rights and the availability of any
specific or equitable relief of any kind may in all cases be subject to an
implied duty of good faith and to general principles of equity (regardless of
whether such enforceability or relief is considered in a proceeding at law or
in equity).
Subject to the limitation set forth below, we have made such
examination of law as we have deemed necessary for the purposes of this
opinion. The opinions expressed in paragraphs 1 through 7 below are limited
solely to the internal substantive laws of the State of Connecticut and the
federal laws of the United States of America, and the opinions expressed in
paragraphs 8, 10, 11, 12 and 13 below are limited solely to the laws of The
Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the federal laws of the United States of
America. The opinion expressed in paragraph 9 below is limited solely to the
internal substantive laws of the State of Connecticut and the internal
substantive laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. No opinion is expressed
herein as to the application or effect of federal securities laws or as to the
securities or so-called "Blue Sky" laws of any state or other jurisdiction. In
addition, other than our opinion expressed in paragraph 1 below with respect to
the citizenship of SSB, no opinion is expressed as to matters governed by Title
49 of the United States Code, or by any other law, statute, rule or regulation
of the United States relating to the acquisition, ownership, registration, use,
operation, maintenance, repair, replacement or sale of or the nature of the
Aircraft, Airframe or Engines.
With your permission, with respect to paragraphs 1 through 5 below in
connection with our opinion relating to the legality, validity and binding
effect of the documents there referred to, to the extent that the laws of the
State of Connecticut do not govern such documents, we have assumed that the
laws of the jurisdictions whose laws govern such documents are not materially
different from the internal substantive laws of the State of Connecticut.
In rendering the opinions set forth below in paragraphs 6 and 13 as to
certain Connecticut and Massachusetts tax matters, respectively, we have
assumed that, for federal income tax purposes, the trusts created by the Pass
Through Trust Supplements are not classified as associations taxable as
corporations and that the trusts created by the Pass Through Trust Supplements
are grantor trusts under subpart E, Part I of Subchapter J of Chapter 1 of
Subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
123
Page 4
This opinion is rendered solely for the benefit of those institutions
listed on Schedule A hereto and their successors and assigns in connection with
the transactions contemplated by the Refunding Agreement and may not be used or
relied upon by any other person or for any other purpose.
Based on and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
1. SSB is a national banking association duly organized and
validly existing in good standing with the Comptroller of the Currency under
the laws of the United States of America, is a "citizen of the United States"
within the meaning of Section 40102(a)(15) of Title 49 of the United States
Code, and has the corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and carry
out, individually or as Pass Through Trustee, as the case may be, the terms of
the Refunding Agreement, the Participation Agreement and each of the Pass
Through Trust Documents;
2. each of the Refunding Agreement and the Pass Through Trust
Documents has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by SSB, individually
or as Pass Through Trustee, as the case may be, and, assuming the due
authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties thereto and that
value has been given, the Refunding Agreement, the Participation Agreement, the
Pass Through Certificates and the Pass Through Trust Documents constitute the
legal, valid and binding obligations of SSB, individually or as Pass Through
Trustee, as the case may be, enforceable against it in such capacities in
accordance with their respective terms;
3. the Pass Through Certificates issued on the date hereof have
been duly authorized and duly and validly executed, authenticated, issued and
delivered by SSB, as Pass Through Trustee, pursuant to the terms and provisions
of, and in accordance with the requirements of, each of the Pass Through Trust
Documents, as supplemented, and the holders thereof are entitled to the
benefits of the Pass Through Trust Agreement, as supplemented, pursuant to
which the Pass Through Certificates held by such holder were issued;
4. the execution, delivery and performance by SSB, individually
or as Pass Through Trustee, as the case may be, of the Refunding Agreement and
each of the Pass Through Trust Documents, the performance by it of the
Participation Agreement, and the purchase by the Pass Through Trustee of the
Pass Through Equipment Notes pursuant to the Refunding Agreement and the
issuance of the Pass Through Certificates pursuant to the Pass Through Trust
Documents, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the
part of SSB, individually or as Pass Through Trustee,
124
Page 5
as the case may be, and do not and did not require any approval of the
stockholders of SSB, and such execution, delivery, performance and other
actions were not and are not in violation of SSB's Articles of Association or
By-laws or of any indenture, mortgage, credit agreement, license or other
agreement or instrument, in each case known to us, to which SSB, individually
or as Pass Through Trustee, as the case may be, is a party or by which it in
either capacity is bound, or of any judgment or order known to us or of any
federal law, rule or regulation relating to its banking or trust powers or any
Connecticut law, rule or regulation applicable to SSB in either capacity;
5. neither the execution, delivery or performance by SSB,
individually or as Pass Through Trustee, as the case may be, of the Refunding
Agreement, the Pass Through Certificates and the Pass Through Trust Documents,
nor the performance by it of the Participation Agreement, nor the consummation
of any of the transactions by SSB, individually or as Pass Through Trustee, as
the case may be, contemplated thereby nor the purchase by the Pass Through
Trustee of the Pass Through Equipment Notes pursuant to the Refunding Agreement
or the issuance of the Pass Through Certificates pursuant to the Pass Through
Trust Documents required or requires the consent or approval of, the giving of
notice to, or the registration with, or the taking of any other action with
respect to, any governmental authority or agency under any existing federal or
Connecticut law governing the banking, fiduciary or trust powers of SSB;
6. there are no taxes (including, without limitation, net or
gross income, tangible or intangible property, net worth, capital, franchise or
doing business taxes), fees or other governmental charges ("Taxes") payable
under the laws of the State of Connecticut or any political subdivision thereof
with respect to the authorization, execution and delivery by SSB, in its
individual capacity or as Pass Through Trustee, as the case may be, or by the
Lessee, of the Pass Through Trust Documents, the Participation Agreement or
the Refunding Agreement or in connection with the authorization, execution,
issuance, authentication or delivery of any or all of the Pass Through
Certificates pursuant to the Pass Through Trust Documents. Neither SSB, in
its individual capacity or as Pass Through Trustee, as the case may be, the
trusts created by the Pass Through Trust Documents, any of the Trust Property
nor the Loan Trustee in its capacity as trustee, will be subject to any Taxes
under the laws of the State of Connecticut or any political subdivision thereof
(other than Taxes imposed on the fees received by SSB for acting as Loan
Trustee or as Pass Through Trustee). Holders of Pass Through Certificates or
persons acquiring an interest in Pass Through Certificates who are not
residents of or otherwise subject to tax in
125
Page 6
Connecticut will not be subject to any Taxes under the laws of the State of
Connecticut or any political subdivision thereof as a result of purchasing,
holding, owning (including receiving payments with respect to) or selling a
Pass Through Certificate. No applicable Taxes are imposed under the laws of the
State of Connecticut or any political subdivision thereof upon or with respect

with respect to the property, held by the Pass Through Trustee under the Pass
Through Trust Documents or (d) otherwise with respect to or in connection with

Trust Documents, which would not have been imposed if SSB had not had its
principal place of business in, and not performed, either in its individual
capacity or as Pass Through Trustee, as the case may be, any or all of its
administrative duties under the Pass Through Trust Documents in, and had not
engaged in any activities unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the
Operative Documents or the Pass Through Trust Documents in, the State of
Connecticut;
7. to the best of our knowledge, there are no proceedings pending
or threatened against or affecting SSB, either in its individual capacity or as
Pass Through Trustee, as the case may be, in any court or before any
governmental authority, agency or arbitration board or tribunal which, if
adversely determined, individually or in the aggregate, would materially and
adversely affect the trusts created by the Pass Through Trust Documents or
would question the right, power and authority of SSB in either capacity to
enter into or perform its obligations under the instruments referred to in
paragraphs 1 and 3 above;
8. the Parent Guarantor is a Massachusetts trust company, duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing with the Commissioner of Banks

Massachusetts;

obligation of the Parent Guarantor enforceable against the Parent Guarantor in
accordance with its terms;
11. the execution and delivery of the Guarantee and compliance by
the Parent Guarantor with all of the provisions thereof do not and will not (i)
contravene any law or, (ii) contravene any order known to us of any court or
governmental authority or agency applicable to or binding on the Parent
Guarantor or (iii) contravene the provisions of its charter documents or by-laws
or the provisions of any indenture, mortgage, contract or other agreement, in
each case known to us, to which it is a party or by which it or its properties
may be bound or affected;
12. neither the execution nor the delivery of the Guarantee by the
Parent Guarantor nor the performance by the Parent Guarantor of the Guarantee
requires the consent, approval or authorization of, the giving of notice to,
the recording or filing, registration or qualification with, or the taking of
any other action in respect of any Massachusetts governmental authority on the
part of the Parent Guarantor.
13. there are no taxes (including, without limitation, net or
gross income, tangible or intangible property, net worth, capital, franchise or
doing business taxes), fees or other governmental charges ("Taxes") payable
under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or any political
subdivision thereof with respect to the authorization, execution and delivery
by SSB, in its individual capacity or as Pass Through Trustee, as the case may
be, or by the Lessee, of the Pass Through Trust Documents, the Participation
Agreement or the Refunding Agreement or in connection with the authorization,

Through Certificates pursuant to the Pass Through Trust Documents. Neither SSB,
in its individual capacity or as Pass Through Trustee, as the case may be, the
trusts created by the Pass Through Trust Documents, any of the Trust Property
nor the Loan Trustee in its capacity as trustee, will be subject to any Taxes
under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or any political

Certificates or persons acquiring an interest in Pass Through Certificates who
are not residents of or otherwise subject to tax in Massachusetts will not be
subject to any Taxes under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or any
political subdivision thereof as a result of purchasing, holding, owning

applicable Taxes are imposed under the laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachussetts or any political subdivision thereof upon or with respect to (a)

thereto, (b) the payment of the principal of, or interest or premium on, or
other amounts payable with respect to, any or all of the Pass Through
Certificates, (c) the property, or the income, earnings, receipts, or other
proceeds received with respect to the property, held by the Pass Through

or the Pass Through Trust Documents, which would not have been imposed if SSB
had not performed, either in its individual capacity or as Pass Through
Trustee, as the case may be, any or all of its administrative duties under the
Pass Through Trust Documents in, and had not engaged in any activities
unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents or the

a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Bank
Equipment Notes, such opinion shall be waived if insurance
reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Participant and Bank
Lenders holding a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Bank Equipment Notes is provided by the Lessee to
cover the risk of such liability), (iii) such re-registration

default by the Lessee or any sublessee, prevent the return of
the Aircraft to the Owner Trustee in accordance with and when
permitted by the terms of Sections 14 and 15(a) of the Lease
upon the exercise by the Owner Trustee of its remedies under
Section 15(a) of the Lease; (v) it is not necessary for the
63

140
Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee to qualify to do
business in such jurisdiction solely as a result of the
proposed re-registration; (vi) the laws of such country
require fair compensation by the government of such country

covering the risk of requisition of use of the Aircraft by the
government of such country so long as the Aircraft is

Bank Lenders on or prior to the effective date of such change
in registration); and provided, further, that (x) the Owner
Trustee, the Owner Participant and the Bank Lenders shall have
received prior to or contemporaneously with such
re-registration (1) a certificate of insurance signed by an
independent insurance broker to the effect that the Aircraft
is and after such re-registration will continue to be insured
in such country in accordance with the requirements of Section
11 of the Lease, (2) a

any of the United States, the United Kingdom, the Federal
Republic of Germany, France, Canada or Japan, and (4) in the

made arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Owner
Participant that all payments to be made by or on behalf of
the Lessee under the Operative Documents and by any sublessee
under the relevant sublease will be paid in U.S. Dollars) and
(y) the Lessee shall not cause the Aircraft to be registered
pursuant to Section 7(a)(i) of the Lease under the laws of any
foreign jurisdiction without the prior written consent of the
Owner Participant if (1) the civil aviation laws of such
foreign jurisdiction impose unusual requirements on
registrants of civil aircraft, and (2) the Owner Participant
would be required to comply with such unusual requirements
upon the registration of the Aircraft in such foreign
jurisdiction, and the Owner Participant's compliance therewith

(in each case, such term to include the Equipment Notes originally
issued under the Trust Indenture and any refunding indebtedness

Series AB
150
as to the terms of such refunding or refinancing operation and upon
such agreement:
(i) the Lessee, the Owner Participant, the Loan
Trustee, the Owner Trustee, and any other appropriate parties
will enter into a financing or loan agreement (which may
involve an underwriting agreement in connection with a public
offering; provided, however, that in the case of a refunding
or refinancing involving a public offering of debt securities,
the Lessee shall have the right to purchase such debt
securities and apply such debt securities as a credit against
its obligations to pay Rent to the extent permitted by the Tax
Indemnity Agreement) providing for (x) the issuance and sale
by the Owner Trustee or such other party as may be appropriate
to such institution or institutions on the date specified in
such agreement (for the purposes of this Section 17, the
"Refinancing Date") of United States dollar-denominated debt
securities in an aggregate principal amount equal to the sum
of the principal amount of the Equipment Notes to be redeemed,
on the Refinancing Date, and, subject to clause (w) of Section
17(a)(ii), all interest accrued thereon to the Refinancing
Date and (y) the application of the proceeds of the sale of
such debt securities to the redemption of all such Equipment
Notes on the Refinancing Date;
(ii) the Lessee and the Owner Trustee will amend the
Lease such that (w) if the Refinancing Date is not a Lease
Period Date, the Lessee shall on the Refinancing Date prepay
that portion of the next succeeding installment of Basic Rent
as shall equal the aggregate interest accrued on the Equipment
Notes then being redeemed on the Refinancing Date in the event
that such interest is not financed through the issuance of
debt securities on the Refinancing Date, (x) Basic Rent
payable in respect of the period from and after the
Refinancing Date shall be recalculated to preserve the Owner
Participant's Revised Net Economic Return, (y) amounts payable
in respect of Stipulated Loss Value and Termination Value from
and after the Refinancing Date shall be appropriately
recalculated to preserve the Owner Participant's Revised Net
Economic Return, and (z) the Special Purchase
74
Series AB
151
Price Percentage and the Special Purchase Option Date shall be
recalculated as provided in Section 18;
(iii) the Owner Trustee will enter into an agreement to
provide for the securing thereunder of the debt securities
issued by the Owner Trustee pursuant to clause (a) of this
Section 17 in like manner as the Equipment Notes issuable
under the Trust Indenture and/or will enter into such
amendments and supplements to the Trust Indenture as may be
necessary to effect such refunding or refinancing, provided
that no such amendment or supplement will materially increase
the liabilities of or impair the rights of the Owner
Participant under the Operative Documents without the consent
of the Owner Participant; and
(iv) unless otherwise agreed by the Owner Participant,
the Lessee shall pay as Supplemental Rent on an After-Tax
Basis all reasonable fees, costs, and expenses of such
refunding or refinancing;
provided, however, that (v) the Lessee shall not request that less
than all of the Equipment Notes issued under the Trust Indenture be
redeemed as part of a refunding operation hereunder unless it
simultaneously requests that all the outstanding equipment notes held
in the same Pass Through Trust or by the same Bank Lender issued under
the Other Indentures be simultaneously redeemed, (w) there shall be no
more than two such refundings or refinancings (not including the
Section 20 Refinancing), (x) if within 15 days after receipt of a
request from the Lessee to effect a refunding or refinancing pursuant
to this Section 17, which request specifies the proposed structural
terms and the amount thereof, the Owner Participant provides the
Lessee with a written notice to the effect that there will be a risk
of adverse tax consequences to the Owner Participant resulting from
the refunding or refinancing and, if then requested by the Lessee in
writing, within 15 days after receipt of such request, the Owner
Participant provides the Lessee with a written opinion of independent
tax counsel selected by the Owner Participant and reasonably
acceptable to the Lessee to the effect that there will be a risk of
such adverse tax consequences to the Owner Participant resulting from
75
Series AB
152
the refunding or refinancing (other than the consequence that the
refinanced loan constitutes "qualified nonrecourse indebtedness"
within the meaning of Temporary Regulations Section 1.861-10T(b) for
the purpose of the computation of the FSC Benefits (as defined in the
Tax Indemnity Agreement)), then the Owner Trustee and the Owner
Participant shall be required to effect such refunding or refinancing
only if the Lessee shall have agreed to indemnify the Owner
Participant against such identified adverse tax consequences in a
manner reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Participant; provided,
however, the parties agree that in the absence of a change in
applicable laws, regulations, revenue rulings, revenue procedures or
judicial precedents enacted, adopted or decided after the Delivery
Date, a refinancing or refunding will not be deemed for this purpose
to result in a risk of the Owner Participant not being considered the
owner of the Aircraft, Airframe, any Engine or any Part for Federal or
other income tax purposes, (y) no such refinancing or refunding shall
require an increase in the amount of the Owner Participant's
investment in the beneficial ownership of the Aircraft or shall cause
the ratio of the newly issued debt to the Owner Participant's then
outstanding investment in the Aircraft to be more than 4 to 1 and (z)
except with respect to matters relating to taxes, no such refunding or
refinancing will materially increase the liabilities of or impair the
rights of the Owner Participant. In addition, neither the refunding
or refinancing, nor any related adjustment of Basic Rent, shall
increase or decrease the periodic earnings (as defined in Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 13 issued by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board) of the Owner Participant for any calendar
year in the period (if any) from the date of such refunding or
refinancing to December 31, 1998 each by an amount greater than 10% of
the amount of earnings expected for each such calendar year
immediately prior to such refunding or refinancing.
"(b) The Equipment Notes, and any other debt instruments
issued in connection with any refunding or refinancing operation
permitted by this Section 17, shall not be subject to optional
redemption by the Owner Trustee without the consent of the Lessee,
except as provided in the Trust Indenture."
76
Series AB
153
12. AMENDMENT OF SECTION 18 OF THE PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT.
(a) Paragraph (a) of Section 18 is amended in its entirety to read as follows:
"(a) Calculation of Adjustments. In the event that (A) the
Transaction Costs are less or more than 1.0897% of Lessor's Cost, or
(B) prior to the acceptance of the Aircraft on the Delivery Date: (1)
there shall have occurred a Change in Tax Law and (2) after having
been advised in writing by the Owner Participant of such Change in Tax
Law and the proposed adjustment to the payments of Basic Rent
resulting therefrom, Lessee shall have waived its right under Section
11 of the Participation Agreement to decline to proceed with the
transaction, or (C) a refinancing or refunding as contemplated by
Section 17 hereof occurs, or (D) the Delivery Date is other than July
9, 1992, or (E) if the Certificates are not refunded or refinanced on
or prior to the Base Lease Commencement Date, the Excess Payment
Amount (as defined in the Original Participation Agreement (after
adjustment for any Excess Payment Differential Amount) (as defined in
the Original Participation Agreement) is other than $1,247,657.81
then, in each case, the Owner Participant shall recalculate the
payments of Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss Values, Termination Values and
the Excess Payment Amount with respect to the Term (i) to preserve the
Owner Participant's Revised Net Economic Return and (ii) to minimize,
to the greatest extent possible, consistent with the foregoing clause
(i), the present value (discounted semiannually at an interest rate
per annum to be supplied by the Lessee) of the payments of Basic Rent.
In addition, in the event of a refinancing or refunding referred to in
clause (C) of the preceding sentence, the Special Purchase Price
Percentage and the Special Purchase Option Date shall be recalculated
in a manner consistent with the procedures specified in Section 20(c)
of the Original Participation Agreement. In performing any such
recalculations, the Owner Participant shall utilize the same methods
and assumptions used by the Owner Participant in the calculation of
the schedules included in the Amended and Restated Rent Schedule dated
as of the Refunding Date, as such assumptions may be changed as a
result of the event described in clause (A), (B), (C), (D) or (E) of
the second preceding sentence necessitating such recalculation or due
to the prior occurrence of any such event; provided that, Basic Rent,
as so recomputed, shall
77
Series AB
154
comply with the requirements of Section 4.02(5) and 4.07(1) of Revenue
Procedure 75-28, 1975-1 C.B. 752, and shall not present a greater risk
that Section 467(b)(2) of the Code would apply than the risk that
Section 467(b)(2) applied prior to such recomputation, it being agreed
that the requirements of clause (i) of Section 5.01 of Rev. Proc.
75-21, 1975-1 C.B. 715, shall be applied on a prospective basis.
(b) Paragraph (b) of Section 18 is amended by deleting the
words "Assumed Debt Rate" in each place they appear and substituting therefor
the words "Average Certificate Rate".
13. DELETION OF SECTION 20 OF THE PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT.
Section 20 is hereby deleted and the words "[Intentionally Omitted]"
substituted therefor.
14. AMENDMENT OF SECTION 21 OF THE PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT.
(a) The penultimate sentence of Section 21(b) is amended
by inserting at the end of the sentence "or (i) in the case of such enforcement
against the Bank Lenders, by consent of Bank Lenders holding a majority in
principal amount of the Outstanding Bank Equipment Notes or (ii) to the extent
required by the Indenture, with the consent of the Pass Through Trustee".
Section 21(c) is amended by inserting the following sentence at the end
thereof: "No purchaser or holder of any Equipment Note (including any Loan
Participant) shall be deemed to be a successor or assign of any of the Original
Loan Participants."
(b) Section 21 is hereby renumbered Section 22.
15. NEW SECTION 21 OF THE PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT. The
following new Section 21 is added:

Trust Indenture, the Lessee may direct the Owner Trustee to appoint,
and the Owner Trustee shall promptly appoint, a successor Loan
Trustee.

(b) In the event that either the Owner Trustee or the Lessee
obtains knowledge of the existence of any of the grounds for removal
of the Loan Trustee set forth in Section 9.06 of the Trust Indenture,
the Owner Trustee or the Lessee, as the case may be, shall promptly
give notice (the "Removal Notice") to the other by telephone,
confirmed in writing. Within five Business Days after the giving of
the Removal Notice, the Lessee may direct the Owner Trustee to remove,
and the Owner Trustee shall remove, the Loan Trustee and appoint a
successor Loan Trustee, provided that, if within ten Business Days
after the giving of the Removal Notice the Loan Trustee shall not have
been removed, the Owner Trustee shall be deemed without further act to
have delegated to the Lessee the right, on behalf of the Owner
Trustee, to remove the Loan Trustee and appoint a successor, and, in
the event of the removal of the Loan Trustee in accordance with such
delegation, the Lessee agrees to appoint promptly a successor Loan
Trustee.
(c) The Lessee shall not enter into any modification or
amendment of any Pass Through Trust Document in any manner affecting
the Pass Through Trusts created pursuant to the Pass Through Trust
Supplements, without the consent of the Owner Participant, such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld."

EXHIBIT N TO
REFUNDING AGREEMENT
Terms of Swap Transaction
(a) The Initial Bank Lender represents, warrants and covenants as
of the Refunding Date that for all purposes of the Operative Documents, it has
entered into an interest rate swap transaction (as the same may be assigned, in
whole or in part, to any other Bank Lender as provided below, the "Swap
Transaction") under a form of confirmation with a swap counterparty
satisfactory to the Lessee (the "Swap Counterparty") governed by an ISDA Master
Agreement (the "Swap Agreement") in the standard form thereof (the "Form")
published in 1992 by, and incorporating by reference therein the definitions
and provisions contained in the 1991 ISDA Definitions (the "Definitions") of,
the International Swap Dealers Association, Inc. and having the economic terms
set forth below in this Exhibit N. The Initial Bank Lender agrees that, in the
event of any transfer of any Bank Equipment Notes to a Permitted Transferee
pursuant to Section 10(e) of the Refunding Agreement, the Initial Bank Lender
shall either (x) assign or cause to be assigned the portion of the Swap
Transaction allocable to such Permitted Transferee's Bank Equipment Notes to
such Permitted Transferee and shall obtain the consent of the Swap Counterparty
to such assignment, it being agreed that no transfer, in whole or in part, of
any such Bank Equipment Note to such Permitted Transferee shall be permitted
under the Operative Documents unless such Permitted Transferee, prior to or
concurrently with such transfer, shall enter into a confirmation with the Swap
Counterparty conforming to the Swap Transaction in respect of such Permitted
Transferee's Bank Equipment Notes or (y) extend, pursuant to arrangements
reasonably satisfactory to the Lessee, the benefits of a pro rata share of the
Swap Transaction with the Swap Counterparty to such Permitted Transferee as
contemplated by the definition of "Swap Participation" set forth in the
Refunding Agreement. The parties agree that, notwithstanding anything herein or
in any Operative Document to the contrary, in the event that a Break Funding
Amount is required to be calculated pursuant to this Exhibit N, notwithstanding
any transfer from time to time of all or part of the Bank Equipment Notes
issued on the Refunding Date, any such Break Funding Amount shall be calculated
solely by reference to the economic terms set forth in this Exhibit N, and in
no event shall the aggregate of such Break Funding Amounts for all Bank Lenders
be calculated with respect to a Notional Amount (as such term is used in this
Exhibit N) at the time greater than the outstanding aggregate principal amount
of all of the Bank Equipment
Series AB
158
Notes subject to acceleration or being redeemed or purchased at such time. Each
Bank Lender agrees that, except as provided below, it will not amend or
terminate or permit to be terminated through its own action or inaction the
Swap Transaction in respect of its Bank Equipment Notes in a manner that would
have an adverse effect on the rights or interests of the Lessee without the
prior written consent of the Lessee (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld).
(b) The Initial Bank Lender agrees, and each other Bank Lender, by
becoming such, shall be deemed to have agreed, that the "Swap Breakage Gain" or
"Swap Breakage Loss", with respect to any Bank Lender whose Bank Equipment
Notes are redeemed (or purchased in lieu of redemption) or accelerated in
circumstances under which Swap Breakage Loss or Swap Breakage Gain is incurred
or received, as the case may be, by such Bank Lender, shall be determined as
follows: such Bank Lender (or, in the case of a Swap Participation, the Initial
Bank Lender acting on behalf of such Bank Lender) will use its best efforts to
cause the Swap Counterparty to advise the Lessee and the Owner Trustee of the
Market Quotation determined by such Swap Counterparty (such Swap Counterparty
being the party making the determination of the Market Quotation for purposes
of the definition of Market Quotation in the Swap Agreement) in connection with
the termination of that portion of the Swap Transaction allocable to that
portion of such Bank Lender's Secured Equipment Certificates then being so
redeemed or so accelerated. If such Market Quotation is a negative number, the
absolute value of the amount thereof shall be the Swap Breakage Gain
attributable to such Bank Lender for all purposes of the Operative Documents;
if such Market Quotation is a positive number, the amount thereof shall be the
Swap Breakage Loss attributable to such Bank Lender for all purposes of the
Operative Documents. Each Bank Lender acknowledges that the Lessee shall have
the right to designate two of the Reference Market-makers to be used by the
Swap Counterparty (such Reference Market-makers to be reasonably acceptable to
the Swap Counterparty) in connection with the Swap Counterparty's determination
of the Market Quotation for settlement of the Swap Transaction and agrees to
use its best efforts to cause the Swap Counterparty to cooperate with the
Lessee with respect to the provisions of this Exhibit N and to provide in a
timely fashion such information as the Lessee may reasonably request to
facilitate the quotation by such Reference Market-makers designated by the
Lessee.

of the Bank Equipment Notes required to be paid pursuant
thereto is paid when due);
3. The Effective Date shall be the Refunding Date;

preceding the Termination Date and ending on the Termination
Date;
7. The Fixed Rate Day Count Fraction shall be 30/360 (without any

Certificates upon an Indenture Event of Default, the portion
of the Swap Transaction allocable to such Holder shall be
subject to termination. In the event of a transfer of such
Bank Lender's Bank Equipment Notes pursuant to Section 14(b)
of the Refunding Agreement, the portion of the Swap
Transaction allocable to such Bank Lender shall be subject to
full termination in the event that the Replacement Bank
Lender(s) does not either assume its proportionate share of
the Swap Transaction or assume or enter into a Swap
Participation as provided in such Section 14(b);
11. Business Days shall be New York, New York, London, England,

for any withholding or other taxes and any filing or reporting requirements

(b) Each Bank Lender agrees that, upon notice from the Owner
Trustee or the Lessee or upon otherwise learning of the possibility of the
occurrence of (i) any of the events described in Section 6.01 of the Indenture
or (ii) an acceleration or a redemption (or purchase in lieu of redemption) of

(c) In the event any of the Bank Equipment Notes are redeemed
(or purchased in lieu of redemption) pursuant to Section 6.01 of the Indenture,
the Owner Trustee hereby directs each Bank Lender, and each Bank Lender hereby
agrees, to pay directly to the Lessee an amount equal to any Swap Breakage
Gain. In the event any of the Bank Equipment Notes are accelerated or redeemed
(or purchased in lieu of redemption) as a result of an Indenture Event of
Default that also constitutes a Lease Event of Default that has occurred and is
continuing, the Owner Trustee hereby directs each Bank Lender that is a swap
counterparty to the Actual Swap, and each such Bank Lender hereby agrees, to
pay directly to the Lessee an amount equal to any Swap Breakage Gain; provided
that no Bank Lender shall be required to make any such payment to the Lessee
pursuant to this sentence unless the Bank Equipment Notes held by such Bank
Lender that are subject to such acceleration or redemption (or purchase in lieu
of redemption) shall have been paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the event any of the Bank Equipment Notes are accelerated or redeemed (or
purchased in lieu of redemption) as a result of an Indenture Event of Default
that does not also constitute a Lease Event of Default, the Owner Trustee
hereby directs each Bank Lender that is a swap counterparty to the Actual Swap,
and each such Bank Lender hereby agrees, to pay directly to the Owner Trustee
for distribution pursuant to the Trust Agreement, an amount equal to any Swap
Breakage Gain; provided that no Bank Lender shall be required to make any such
payment to the Owner Trustee pursuant to this sentence unless the Bank
Equipment Notes held by such Bank Lender that are subject to such acceleration
or redemption (or purchase in lieu of redemption) shall have been paid in full.
SECTION 14. ADDITIONAL COSTS. (a) (i) Additional Costs.
If a Regulatory Change with respect to the Initial Bank Lender or any Permitted
Transferee shall (A) impose on such Bank Lender any reserve, special deposit or
any similar requirement with respect to the loan evidenced by its Bank
Equipment Notes or any capital adequacy requirement requiring the maintenance
by such Bank Lender of additional capital with respect to the loan evidenced by
its Bank Equipment Notes, or (B) change the basis of taxation in the
jurisdictions in which such Bank Lender has either its principal office or the
lending office through which it is
44
Series AC
48
participating in the Bank Equipment Notes (for such Bank Lender, its "Lending
Office") of any amounts payable to such Bank Lender under the Indenture (other
than any change with respect to (1) Taxes based on or imposed on or with
respect to or measured by the capital, receipts or franchises of such Bank
Lender or the overall net or gross income of such Bank Lender or such Lending
Office, or (2) Taxes imposed on such Bank Lender or such Lending Office in lieu
of or as a direct substitute for any Tax described in the preceding clause (1))
and as a result of any of the foregoing there shall be any material increase in
the actual cost to such Bank Lender of making, funding or maintaining the loan
evidenced by its Bank Equipment Notes or any material reduction in the amount
receivable by such Bank Lender in respect thereof, in either case where such
event does not arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Bank Lender, from its breach of any of its representations, warranties or
covenants contained in any Operative Document or from its failure to comply
with any such Regulatory Change (any such increase or reduction being referred
to herein as an "Additional Cost"), then, upon demand made by such Bank Lender
to the Owner Trustee, with a copy thereof to the Lessee, following the
applicable Regulatory Change, the Owner Trustee shall pay directly to such Bank
Lender from time to time, commencing within 15 days of the presentation by such
Bank Lender of the certificate specified in the final sentence of the first
paragraph of Section 14(a)(ii) hereof, an amount equal to the Additional Costs
accruing from the date of delivery of such certificate. Notwithstanding any of
the foregoing, the Owner Trustee's obligation to pay Additional Costs shall be
limited to making such payments when and to the extent the Owner Trustee
receives a corresponding payment of Supplemental Rent from the Lessee.
(ii) Notices, Mitigation and Determinations. Each Bank
Lender will notify the Owner Trustee and the Lessee of any event occurring
after the date of this Agreement (or, if later, after the date on which such
Bank Lender purchased its Bank Equipment Notes) that will entitle such Bank
Lender to compensation under Section 14(a)(i) hereof or Section 7(c) of the
Participation Agreement as promptly as practicable, but, in the case of Section
14(a)(i) hereof, in any event within 30 days after the enactment date of the
relevant Regulatory Change. As a condition to a Bank Lender's receiving
compensation pursuant to this Section 14(a)(i) or Section 7(c) of the
Participation Agreement, each such Bank Lender shall use its best efforts to
avoid the need for, or to reduce the amount of, such compensation,
45
Series AC
49
and such Bank Lender shall take all reasonable steps to so avoid the need for,
or reduce the amount of, such compensation, including, without limitation,
designating a different Lending Office of such Bank Lender (other than a
Lending Office that would render such Bank Lender no longer a Treaty Lender or
an Exempt Lender, as the case may be), for the Bank Equipment Notes; provided
that such Bank Lender shall not be obligated to take any steps that will, in
its reasonable opinion, impose any material loss, cost, expense or liability
upon such Bank Lender. The affected Bank Lender shall furnish to the Owner
Trustee and the Lessee (A) in the case of Section 14(a)(i) hereof, an opinion
of counsel describing the Regulatory Change giving rise to the need for the
payment of such compensation pursuant to Section 14(a)(i) hereof and (B) an
Officer's Certificate describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to
such Bank Lender's right to the payment of such compensation pursuant to, and
the basis in reasonable detail of computing such compensation under, as
applicable, this Section 14(a) or Section 7(c) of the Participation Agreement,
including, without limitation, a description of the steps taken by such Bank
Lender to avoid or mitigate the amount of any such compensation referred to in
this Section 14(a) or Section 7(c) of the Participation Agreement and
certifying that such Bank Lender has complied with its obligations under this
Section 14(a) or Section 7(c) of the Participation Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
14(a), in no event shall the Owner Trustee be required to make payments under
this Section 14(a) in respect of any Regulatory Change proposed by any
applicable governmental authority (including any branch of a legislature),
central bank or comparable agency and pending as of the date of this Refunding
Agreement or, in the case of any Bank Lender that is an Assignee pursuant to
Section 10(e) hereof, pending as of the date of the transfer. In addition, the
Owner Trustee shall not be required to make payments under this Section 14(a)
to any Bank Lender if such Bank Lender's claim hereunder arises through
circumstances peculiar to such Bank Lender and which do not affect commercial
banking institutions in the same jurisdiction generally. No Bank Lender shall
seek payment with respect to Additional Costs hereunder if such Bank Lender is
not also seeking payment for similar increased costs in other similarly
situated transactions.
(b) Certain Transfers of Bank Equipment Notes. If any Bank
Lender requests compensation for any amounts

pursuant to Section 14(a) hereof or Section 7(c) of the Participation
Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall, but only at the express direction of the
Lessee (which direction the Lessee may, in its sole discretion, elect to give),
require that such Bank Lender transfer its Bank Equipment Notes and all of its
rights and obligations as a "Bank Lender" under its Bank Equipment Notes, this
Agreement, the Participation Agreement and the Indenture to any Person or
Persons (such Person or Persons being herein referred to as the "Replacement
Lender(s)") identified by the Owner Trustee (as so directed by the Lessee) in a
notice (the "Replacement Notice") to such Bank Lender specifying the date on
which such transfer is requested to occur, the name(s) of the Replacement
Lender(s) to which its interest in the Bank Equipment Notes is to be
transferred and the portion thereof to be transferred to each, which notice
shall be given not less than 15 Business Days prior to the date on which such
transfer is to occur. Promptly after its receipt of any such notice from the
Owner Trustee, unless such notice indicates that the Replacement Lender(s) do
not desire an assignment of the Actual Swap, if any, or Swap Participation, if
any, to which the affected Bank Lender is at such time a party, (x) if such
affected Bank Lender is party to an Actual Swap, such affected Bank Lender
shall ascertain whether its Swap Counterparty, if any, shall agree to an
assignment of its Actual Swap by such Bank Lender to the proposed Replacement
Lender(s) to the extent of their proposed respective interest in the Bank
Equipment Notes and (y) if such affected Bank Lender is a party to a Swap
Participation, such affected Bank Lender shall ascertain whether the Initial
Bank Lender shall agree to extend the Swap Participation to the proposed
Replacement Lender(s) to the extent of their proposed respective interest in
the Bank Equipment Notes (the Initial Bank Lender hereby agreeing to take all
commercially reasonable steps to accommodate such request). The affected Bank
Lender shall promptly notify the Owner Trustee and the Lessee as to whether its
Swap Counterparty shall accept such assignment to the Replacement Lender(s),
or as to whether the Initial Bank Lender shall extend a Swap Participation to
the Replacement Lender(s). On the date of the requested relevant transfer, (x)
the affected Bank Lender shall sell, assign and transfer to the Replacement
Lender(s), and the Replacement Lender(s) shall acquire and assume from the
affected Bank Lender, all of the rights and obligations of the affected Bank
Lender as a "Bank Lender" under the Bank Equipment Notes, this Agreement, the
Participation Agreement and the Indenture (and, if the affected Bank Lender has
an Actual Swap or Swap Participation being assigned to such Replacement Lender,
under such Actual Swap or Swap Partici-

pation) by executing and delivering an agreement in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Lessee to be bound by the terms of the Operative
Documents and containing such amendments to the representations, warranties and
agreements to be made by such Replacement Lender and the indemnities in favor
of such Replacement Lender as the Lessee may agree (for purposes of this
Section 14(b), collectively, the "Transferred Interest"), (y) the Lessee and/or
the Replacement Lender(s) shall pay to the affected Bank Lender an amount equal
to all principal, interest and other amounts then owing under this Agreement
and the Indenture in respect of the Transferred Interest (and, unless the
affected Bank Lender has an Actual Swap or Swap Participation being assigned to
the Replacement Lender(s), plus an amount equal to any Swap Breakage Losses, or
minus an amount equal to any Swap Breakage Gains, that would be payable by or
to such Bank Lender if such Bank Lender's Bank Equipment Notes were being
redeemed in full), and (z) the Lessee and/or the Replacement Lender(s) shall
pay to the affected Bank Lender an amount equal to all reasonable costs or
expenses incurred by such Bank Lender in connection with such transfer,
whereupon the Replacement Lender(s) shall each become a "Bank Lender" for all
purposes of this Agreement having, except as aforesaid, all the rights and
obligations under this Agreement, the Indenture and the other Operative
Documents of each "Bank Lender" holding their share of the Transferred
Interest, and the obligations of the affected Bank Lender in respect of the
Transferred Interest shall terminate. In the event the affected Bank Lender is
a party to a Swap Participation and such Swap Participation is not being
assigned to the Replacement Lender(s), the Initial Bank Lender agrees to
terminate the Swap Transaction to the extent of such Swap Participation.
SECTION 15. PREFUNDING. (a) To enable the Original Loan
Certificates to be redeemed on the Refunding Date in accordance with the terms

floating rate payor under any then-applicable Swap), as certified by the

EXHIBIT A
GUARANTEE
(AA 1995 PTC Series ___)
GUARANTEE, dated as of ________________, 1995 by State Street Bank and
Trust Company, a Massachusetts corporation (the "GUARANTOR") to and for the
benefit of each person listed on Schedule I hereto (collectively, together with
their successors and permitted assigns, the "BENEFICIARIES" and, individually,
a "BENEFICIARY").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, State Street Bank and Trust Company of Connecticut, National
Association, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Guarantor (the "SUBSIDIARY")
wishes to act as trustee pursuant to the agreements listed on Schedule II
hereto (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the
"AGREEMENTS").
WHEREAS, the Beneficiaries are willing to have the Subsidiary act in
such capacity under the Agreements provided that the Guarantor executes and
delivers this Guarantee;
WHEREAS, the Guarantor has determined that the execution and delivery
by it of this Guarantee is necessary in order to conduct, promote and attain the
business of the Subsidiary and the Guarantor;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Guarantor hereby agrees with and for the benefit
of the Beneficiaries as follows:
1. GUARANTEE.
(a) The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably
guarantees to each of the Beneficiaries the prompt and complete payment by the
Subsidiary when due of, and the faithful performance of, and compliance with,
all payment obligations of the Subsidiary under the Agreements and each other
document referred to therein to which the Subsidiary is a party or by which the
Subsidiary is bound (collectively, the "RELEVANT DOCUMENTS"), in accordance
with the terms thereof and the timely performance of and compliance with all
other obligations of the Subsidiary thereunder (such payment and other
obligations, the "OBLIGATIONS"). In no event, however, shall the agreement
contained herein be construed to constitute a guarantee of any amount due with
respect to acts or events occurring after such time, if any, that the
Subsidiary ceases to be a party to the Relevant Documents.
62
-2-
(b) Until such time as all of the Obligations have been paid and
performed in full, no payment or payments made by the Subsidiary, the Guarantor,
any other guarantor or any other person or received or collected by any
Beneficiary from the Subsidiary, the Guarantor, any other guarantor or any
other person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or
appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of
or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or
otherwise affect the liability of the Guarantor hereunder except as to the
Beneficiary receiving such payment and solely by and to the extent of the net
amount thereof actually received and retained by such Beneficiary, and subject
in each case to the other provisions of this Guarantee (including but not
limited to Paragraph 3 hereof). In no event shall any such payment or payments
be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of the
Guarantor hereunder for the payment and performance in full of all of the
Obligations.
(c) If for any reason any Obligations to be performed or observed
by the Subsidiary shall not be observed or performed, or if any amount payable
by the Subsidiary referred to in Section 1(a) hereof shall not be paid when due
and payable, the Guarantor shall promptly perform or observe or cause to be
performed or observed each such Obligation or undertaking and shall forthwith
pay such amount at the place and to the person or entity entitled thereto
pursuant to the Relevant Documents.
2. Amendments etc., with respect to the Obligations: Waiver of
Rights. The Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that,
without any reservation of rights against the Guarantor and without notice to
or further assent by the Guarantor, any demand for payment or performance of
any of the Obligations made by any Beneficiary may be rescinded by such party
and any of the Obligations continued, and the Obligations, or the liability of
any other party upon or for any right of offset with respect thereto, may, from
time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified,
accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by any Beneficiary
and any Relevant Document and/or any collateral security document or other
guarantee or document in connection therewith, may be amended, modified,
supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the parties thereto may
deem advisable from time to time, and any right, title or interest in or to any
Relevant Documents, or the Aircraft (as defined in the Agreement), or any
collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by any
Beneficiary for the payment or performance of the Obligations may be sold,
exchanged, waived, surrendered, released, transferred or otherwise disposed of.
Without limiting the foregoing, the Guarantor unconditionally waives, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, (a) notices of the creation of any Obligation
under the Relevant Documents or any notice of or proof of reliance by any of
the Beneficiaries upon this Guarantee or acceptance of this Guarantee (the
Obligations shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted,
incurred or renewed, extended, amended or waived in reliance upon this
Guarantee and all dealings between the Subsidiary or the Guarantor and any
Beneficiary shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in
reliance upon this Guarantee), (b) all notices that may be required by statute,
rule of law or
63
-3-
otherwise, now or hereafter in effect, to preserve intact any rights of any of
the Beneficiaries against the Guarantor, including, without limitation, any
demand, presentment and protest, proof of notice of nonpayment under any
Relevant Document, and notice of default or any failure on the part of the
Subsidiary to perform or comply with any Obligation, (c) any right to the
enforcement, assertion or exercise by any of the Beneficiaries of any right,
power, privilege or remedy conferred herein or in any Relevant Document or
otherwise, (d) any requirement of promptness or diligence on the part of any of
the Beneficiaries, (e) any notice of the sale, exchange, waiver, surrender,
release, transfer or other disposition of any right, title or interest in or to
any Relevant Document, or the Aircraft (as defined in the Agreement), or any
collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by any
Beneficiary for the payment or performance of the Obligations, or (f) any other
circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable
discharge, release or defense of a guarantor or surety, or that might otherwise
limit recourse against the Guarantor.
3. Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. The Guarantor
understands and agrees that this Guarantee shall be construed as a primary
obligation of the Guarantor and is a present, continuing, absolute and
unconditional guarantee of payment and performance (and not merely of
collection) without regard to any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than
a defense of payment or performance in full) that may at any time be available
to or be asserted by the Subsidiary against any Beneficiary. When pursuing its
rights and remedies hereunder against the Guarantor, any Beneficiary may, but
shall be under no obligation to, pursue such rights and remedies as it may have
against the Subsidiary or any other person or entity or against any collateral
security or guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with
respect thereto, and any failure by any Beneficiary to pursue such other rights
or remedies or to collect any payments from the Subsidiary or any such other
person or entity or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee
or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Subsidiary or
any such other person or entity or any such such collateral security, guarantee
or right of offset, shall not relieve the Guarantor of any liability hereunder,
and shall not impair or affect the right and remedies, whether express, implied
or available as a matter of law, of any Beneficiary against the Guarantor. This
Guarantee shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be,
if at any time payment, in whole or in part, of any of the sums due to any of
the Beneficiaries pursuant to the terms of any Relevant Document is rescinded
or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition, dissolution, liquidation,
or the like, of the Subsidiary or the Guarantor, or upon or as a result of, the
appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar
powers with respect to the Subsidiary or the Guarantor or any substantial part
of their respective property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not
been made notwithstanding any termination of this Guarantee or any other
Relevant Document. This Guaranttee shall remain in full force and effect and be
binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the Guarantor
and the successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of the
Beneficiaries, and their respective successors, transferees and assigns, until
all of the Obligations and the obligations of the Guarantor under this
Agreement shall have been satisfied by payment and performance in full.
64

To Each of the Addressees 2 June 15, 1995
Listed in Schedule A
Attached Hereto
In so acting, we have examined or participated in the
preparation of the Refunding Agreement, the Original Participation Agreement,
the Original Tax Indemnity Agreement, the Tax Indemnity Agreement Amendment,
the Original Lease, the Lease Amendment, the Original Rent Schedule, the
Amended and Restated Rent Schedule, the Original Trust Agreement, the Trust

and warranties as to factual matters contained therein or made pursuant thereto
and upon the originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our
satisfaction, of such records, documents and other instruments as in our
judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinion
expressed below.
Based on the foregoing, we are of the following opinion:
1. The Lessee is a corporation duly incorporated, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware
and has the corporate power and authority to carry on its business as
presently conducted and has, or had on the respective dates of
execution thereof, the corporate power and authority to enter into its

performance by the Lessee of the Refunding Agreement, the
Participation Agreement, the Tax Indemnity Agreement, the Lease, the
Amended and Restated Rent Schedule, the Instrument of Resignation, the
Pass Through Trust Documents and the Purchase Agreement Assignment,
have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the
part of the Lessee, and do not require any approval of stockholders of
the Lessee or approval or consent of any trustee or holders of any
indebtedness or obligations of the Lessee known to us, and neither the
execution and delivery of any thereof by the Lessee nor the
consummation by the Lessee of the transactions contemplated thereby
nor compliance by the Lessee with any of the terms and provisions
thereof contravene any law, governmental rule or regulation, judgment
or order known to us to be applicable to or binding on the Lessee, or
contravene or result in any breach of, or constitute any default
under, or result in the creation of any Lien (other than as permitted
by the Lease or the Indenture) upon any property of the Lessee under,
the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Lessee or any
indenture, mortgage, chattel mortgage, deed of trust, conditional
sales contract, bank loan or credit agreement or other agreement or
instrument known to us to which the Lessee is a party or by which the
Lessee or its properties may be bound or affected.
3. Except as referred to in Section 9(c) of the Refunding
Agreement and except for (i) action that may be required to register
the issuance and sale of the Pass Through Certificates under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), which
action has been duly accomplished upon the Lessee's Registration
Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 33-42998), as amended by
certain post-effective amendments thereto, having become effective
under the Securities Act, pursuant to orders of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, to the best of our knowledge no stop order
suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement having been
issued and no proceedings for that purpose having been instituted or
threatened, (ii) qualification of the Pass Through Trust Agreement
under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, which
73
To Each of the Addressees 4 June 15, 1995

Attached Hereto
qualification has been duly obtained pursuant to an order of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, (iii) filings or other actions
that may be required under the securities or Blue Sky laws of the
various states, and iv) the filings referred to in paragraphs 5 and 6
below, neither the execution and delivery by the Lessee of the

Amendment, the Original Lease, the Lease Amendment, the Original Rent
Schedule, the Amended and Restated Rent Schedule, the Instrument of
Resignation, the Pass Through Trust Documents and the Purchase

transactions contemplated by the Refunding Agreement, the
Participation Agreement, the Tax Indemnity Agreement, the Lease, the
Amended and Restated Rent Schedule, the Instrument of Resignation, the
Pass Through Trust Documents and the Purchase Agreement Assignment
requires the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the
registration with, or the taking of any other action in respect of,
the Department of Transportation, the Federal Aviation Administration,
the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other Federal or New
York State governmental authority.
4. Each of the Refunding Agreement, the Original
Participation Agreement, the Original Tax Indemnity Agreement, the Tax
Indemnity Agreement Amendment, the Original Lease, the Lease
Amendment, the Original Rent Schedule, the Amended and Restated Rent
Schedule, the Instrument of Resignation, the Pass Through Trust
Documents and the Purchase Agreement Assignment has been duly executed
and delivered by the Lessee, and each of the Refunding Agreement, the
Participation Agreement, the Tax Indemnity Agreement, the Lease, the
Amended and Restated Rent Schedule, the Instrument of Resignation, the
Pass Through Trust Documents and the Purchase Agreement Assignment
constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Lessee
enforceable against the Lessee in accordance with its terms, except i)
as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the rights of
creditors generally and by general principles of equity and ii) in the
case of the Lease, as limited by applicable laws which may affect the
remedies provided in the Lease, which laws, however, do not
74
To Each of the Addressees 5 June 15, 1995
Listed in Schedule A
Attached Hereto
in our opinion make the remedies provided in the Lease inadequate for
the practical realization of the rights and benefits provided thereby.
5. Except for (i) the registration of the Aircraft with the
Federal Aviation Administration and (ii) the filing for recordation of
(x) the Manufacturer's FAA Bill of Sale, the Manufacturer's
Subsidiary's FAA Bill of Sale and the FAA Bill of Sale, y) the
Original Lease (with the Lease Supplement covering the Aircraft, the
Original Indenture, and the Trust Agreement and Indenture Supplement
covering the Aircraft attached), and (z) the Lease Amendment, the
Amended and Restated Indenture and the Instrument of Resignation, in
accordance with the Federal Aviation Act, (A) with respect to such
portion of the Aircraft as is covered by the recording system
established by the Federal Aviation Administration pursuant to Section
44107 of Title 49 of the United States Code, and assuming that at the
time of each such filing no other unrecorded documents relating to the
Aircraft have been filed pursuant to such Act but have not been shown
on indices of filed but unrecorded documents made available to special
Oklahoma City counsel, no further filing or recording of any document
is necessary or advisable under the laws of the State of New York or
the Federal laws of the United States of America in order to perfect
the Owner Trustee's interest in the Aircraft as against the Lessee and
any third parties in any applicable jurisdiction within the United
States; and B) with respect to such portion, if any, of the Aircraft
as may not be covered by such recording system, no further filing or
recording of any document (including any financing statement) is
necessary or advisable under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code
as in effect in any state in order to perfect the Owner Trustee's
interest therein as against the Lessee and any third parties in any
such state, except for the filing of a Uniform Commercial Code
financing statement in the State of Texas, which filing has been duly
effected, the filing of an assignment and amendment relating to such
financing statement, and the filing of continuation statements with
respect thereto required to be filed at periodic intervals under the
Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Texas.
75
To Each of the Addressees 6 June 15, 1995
Listed in Schedule A
Attached Hereto
6. The Lease Amendment, the Amended and Restated Indenture
and the Instrument of Resignation are in due form for recording and,
subject to i) the registration of the Aircraft with the Federal
Aviation Administration, and ii) the due and timely filing for
recordation of (w) the Manufacturer's FAA Bill of Sale, the
Manufacturer's Subsidiary's FAA Bill of Sale and the FAA Bill of Sale,
(x) the Original Lease (with the Lease Supplement covering the
Aircraft, the Original Indenture and the Trust Agreement and Indenture
Supplement covering the Aircraft attached), (y) the Original Indenture
(with such Trust Agreement and Indenture Supplement and the Original
Trust Agreement attached) and z) the Lease Amendment, the Amended and
Restated Indenture and the Instrument of Resignation, in accordance
with the Federal Aviation Act, and assuming that at the time of each
such filing no other unrecorded documents relating to the Aircraft
have been filed pursuant to such Act but have not been shown on
indices of filed but unrecorded documents made available to special
Oklahoma City counsel, the Indenture, as supplemented, creates a
security interest in the Owner Trustee's interest in the Aircraft,
and, except for such filing or recordation, no further filing or
recording of any such instrument or any other instrument is necessary
or advisable to establish and perfect such security interest and the
assignment for security purposes of the Lease and the Lease Supplement
covering the Aircraft to the Loan Trustee in any applicable
jurisdiction within the United States of America, except for the
filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements within the
States of Delaware and Texas, which filings have been duly effected,
the filing of assignments and amendments to Uniform Commercial Code
financing statements previously filed in the States of Delaware and
Texas, and the filing of continuation statements with respect to all
such financing statements required to be filed at periodic intervals
under the Uniform Commercial Code of the States of Delaware and Texas.
7. The Owner Trustee, as Lessor under the Lease, and the Loan
Trustee, as assignee of the Owner Trustee's rights under the Lease
pursuant to the Indenture, would be entitled to the benefits of
Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C.A. Section 1110) with
respect
76
To Each of the Addressees 7 June 15, 1995

to the Aircraft initially delivered under the Lease and subjected to
the Lease and the Indenture.
In rendering the foregoing opinions, we have relied upon the
respective opinions, dated today and delivered to you, of (i) Crowe & Dunlevy,
P.C., special Oklahoma City counsel, as to matters of Federal aviation law and
(ii) Potter, Anderson & Corroon, special counsel for the Owner Trustee, as to
matters of Delaware law, and we have made no investigation of law or fact as to
the matters stated in such opinions. We have made the same assumptions as set
forth in such opinions (except as to the due authorization, execution and
delivery by the Lessee of the Refunding Agreement, the Original Participation
Agreement, the Original Lease, the Lease Amendment, the Original Rent Schedule,
the Amended and Restated Rent Schedule, the Instrument of Resignation, the Pass
Through Trust Documents and the Purchase Agreement Assignment), and our opinion
is subject to the same limitations as are therein set forth. With respect to
the judgments or orders referred to in paragraph 2 and insofar as the foregoing
opinion relates to Federal aviation laws, the Department of Transportation or
the Federal Aviation Administration and as to all matters of Texas law, we have
relied upon the opinion, dated today and delivered to you, of Anne H. McNamara,
Esq., Senior Vice President and General Counsel of the Lessee, and in our
opinion you and we are justified in relying on such opinion. We have also
assumed that the Refunding Agreement and the Participation Agreement and the
transactions contemplated thereby are not within the prohibitions of Section
406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.
Our opinion is limited to the laws of the State of New York,
the corporate law of the State of Delaware and the Federal laws of the United
States of America, except that we express no opinion with respect to the
securities laws of any state, including the State of New York.
This opinion is being furnished by us solely for your benefit
in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Refunding Agreement.
This opinion may not be relied upon or used for nay other purpose.
Very truly yours,

(AA 1995 PTC Series AC)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am Senior Vice President and General Counsel of American
Airlines, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Lessee"), and as such I am
delivering this opinion in connection with the transactions contemplated by the

The Mitsubishi Trust and Banking Corporation, New York Branch, as Initial Bank

Capitalized terms used herein without definition are used as defined in the

In so acting, I have examined the Refunding Agreement, the

Restated Rent Schedule, the Original Trust Agreement, the Trust Agreement
Amendment, the Original Indenture, the Amended and Restated Indenture, the
Original Tax Indemnity Agreement, the Tax Indemnity Agreement Amendment, the
Instrument of Resignation, the Pass Through Trust Documents, the Purchase

instruments as in my judgment are necessary
79
To Each of the Addressees
Listed on Schedule A

or appropriate to enable me to render the opinion expressed below.
Based on the foregoing, I am of the following opinion:
1. The Lessee holds an air carrier operating certificate
issued by the Secretary of Transportation pursuant to Chapter
447 of Title 49 of the United States Code pursuant to which the Lessee
is authorized to operate Boeing 767-323ER aircraft, the Lessee is a
"citizen of the United States" as defined in Section 40102 of Title 49
of the United States Code, and the Lessee's chief executive office (as
such term is defined in Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code in
effect in the State of Texas) is located in Fort Worth, Texas.
2. The execution and delivery by the Lessee of the
Refunding Agreement, the Original Participation Agreement, the
Original Tax Indemnity Agreement, the Tax Indemnity Agreement
Amendment, the Original Lease, the Original Rent Schedule, the Amended
and Restated Rent Schedule, the Lease Amendment, the Instrument of

Agreement Assignment, and the performance by the Lessee of the
Refunding Agreement, the Participation Agreement, the Tax Indemnity
Agreement, the Lease, the Amended and Restated Rent Schedule, the
Instrument of Resignation, the Pass Through Trust Documents and the
Purchase Agreement Assignment have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate action on the part of the Lessee, and do not
require any approval of stockholders of the Lessee or approval or
consent of, any trustees or holders of any indebtedness or obligations
of the Lessee known to me; and neither the execution and delivery of
any thereof by the Lessee nor the consummation or performance by the
Lessee of the transactions contemplated by the Refunding Agreement,
the Participation Agreement, the Tax Indemnity Agreement, the Lease,
the Amended and Restated Rent Schedule, the Instrument of Resignation,
the Pass Through Trust Documents and the Purchase Agreement Assignment
nor the compliance by the Lessee with any of the terms and provisions
thereof will contravene any law, governmental rule, regulation,
judgment or order known to me to be applicable to, or binding on, the
Lessee or for the Certificate of Incorporation or By Laws of the
Lessee

contravene or result in any breach of, or constitute any
default under, or result in the creation of any Lien (other than as
permitted under the Lease or the Indenture) upon any property of the
Lessee under, any indenture, mortgage, chattel mortgage, deed of
trust, conditional sales contract, bank loan, credit agreement,
contract or other agreement known to me to which the Lessee is a
party or by which any of its properties may be bound or affected.
3. Except as referred to in Section 9(c) of the
Refunding Agreement and the filings referred to in paragraphs 3, 5 and
6 of the opinion, dated today and delivered to you, of Debevoise &
Plimpton, neither the execution and delivery by the Lessee of the
Refunding Agreement, the Lease Amendment, the Amended and Restated
Rent Schedule, the Tax Indemnity Agreement Amendment, the Instrument
of Resignation, the Pass Through Trust Documents and the Purchase
Agreement Assignment, nor the consummation by the Lessee of the
transactions contemplated by the Refunding Agreement, the
Participation Agreement, the Tax Indemnity Agreement, the Lease, the
Amended and Restated Rent Schedule, the Instrument of Resignation, the
Pass Through Trust Documents and the Purchase Agreement Assignment
requires the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the
registration with, or the taking of any other action in respect of,
the Department of Transportation, the Federal Aviation Administration
or any governmental authority of the State of Texas.
4. No filing or recording of any document in the State
of Texas is necessary or advisable in order to perfect the Owner
Trustee's title to and interest in the Aircraft as against the Lessee
and any third party in the State of Texas, except for the filing of a
Uniform Commercial Code financing statement in the State of Texas
which filing has been duly effected, and the filing of an assignment
and amendment relating thereto in the State of Texas, which assignment
and amendment [have] been positioned for filing promptly upon closing,
and the filing of continuation statements with respect thereto
required to be filed at periodic intervals under the Uniform
Commercial Code of the State of Texas. No filing or recording of any
document in the State of Texas is necessary or advisable to
81
To Each of the Addressees

establish and perfect the security interest in the Aircraft that the
Indenture, as supplemented, by its terms purports to create and the
assignment for security purposes of the Lease to the Loan Trustee in
accordance with the terms of the Indenture, except for the filing of
the financing statement and assignment and amendment relating thereto
referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph, and continuation
statements relating thereto.
5. There are no pending or, to the best of my knowledge,
threatened actions or proceedings before any court or administrative
agency or arbitrator that would materially adversely affect the
ability of the Lessee to perform its obligations under the Refunding
Agreement, the Participation Agreement, the Lease, the Amended and
Restated Rent Schedule, the Tax Indemnity Agreement, the Instrument of
Resignation, the Pass Through Trust Documents and the Purchase
Agreement Assignment.
In rendering the foregoing opinion, I have relied upon the opinion,
dated today and delivered to you, of Crowe & Dunlevy, P.C., special Oklahoma
City counsel. In so relying, I have made the same assumptions, and my opinion
is subject to the same limitations, as are therein set forth. I have also
assumed that the Refunding Agreement, the Participation Agreement and the
transactions contemplated thereby are not within the prohibitions of Section
406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.
I am delivering this opinion to you pursuant to the Refunding
Agreement, and no persons other than you and Debevoise & Plimpton are entitled
to rely on this opinion.
With your permission, my opinion is limited to the laws of the State
of Texas and the Federal laws of the United States of America, except that I
express no opinion with respect to the securities laws of any jurisdiction or
any other laws.

Owner Trustee (the "Owner Trustee") under the Trust Agreement, long-term
financing is being provided in connection with one Boeing 767-323 aircraft
bearing U.S. Registration No. ___ (the "Aircraft"). This opinion is furnished
upon the request of the Owner Trustee pursuant to Sections 3(1) and 4(a) of the

We have also examined originals or copies of such other documents,

officials and corporate officers and other representatives of the corporations
or entities referred to herein and such other instruments as we have deemed
necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion. Moreover, as to

the representations and warranties contained in the instruments referred to

Based upon the foregoing and upon an examination of such questions of
law as we have considered necessary or appropriate, and subject to the

in our opinion:
1. The Trust Company is a Delaware banking corporation, duly
organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the State of
Delaware and has the corporate, banking and trust powers to enter into and
perform its obligations under the Trust Agreement, and the Owner Trustee has
the authority under the Trust Agreement to execute, deliver and perform its
obligations under the Operative Documents and to issue, execute, deliver and
perform its obligations under the Equipment Notes.
2. The Trust Company is a "citizen of the United States" within
the meaning of Section 40102(a)(15) of Title 49 of the United States Code.
3. Each Operative Document has been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by the Trust Company or by the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, and
constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Trust Company or the
Owner Trustee, as the case may be, enforceable against the Trust Company or the
Owner Trustee, as the case may be, in accordance with its respective terms. The
Trust Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Owner
Participant enforceable against the Owner Participant in

accordance with its terms. The Equipment Notes have been duly authorized,
issued, executed and delivered by the Owner Trustee, pursuant to authorization
contained in the Trust Agreement, and constitute the legal, valid and binding
obligations of the Owner Trustee enforceable against the Owner Trustee in
accordance with their terms and the terms of the Indenture; and the Equipment
Notes are entitled to the benefits and security afforded by the Indenture in
accordance with its terms and the terms of the Indenture.
4. Neither the execution and delivery by the Trust Company or the

Trust Company, any law of the State of Delaware or any federal law of the

(including all right, title and interest of the Owner Trustee pledged and
mortgaged by it pursuant to the Indenture) have been pledged and mortgaged with
the Loan Trustee as part of the Indenture Estate, and the beneficial interest
of the Owner Participant under the Trust Agreement in and to such properties is
subject, to the extent provided in the Indenture, to the lien of the Indenture
in favor of the holders from time to time of the Equipment Notes.
10. To the extent that the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of
Delaware (the "UCC") is applicable, except for the Loan Trustee's taking of
possession of all monies, instruments and securities constituting part of the
Indenture Estate, no action, including the filing or recording of any document,
is necessary (i) to create in the State of Delaware the security interest in
the Indenture Estate (including the grant and assignment unto the Loan Trustee
of the security interest in all estate, right, title and interest of the Owner
Trustee in, to and under the Lease, the Lease Supplement, the Purchase
Agreement (to the extent assigned by the Purchase Agreement Assignment) and the
Purchase Agreement Assignment) which the Indenture by its terms purports to
create in favor of the Loan Trustee, and (ii) to perfect in the State of
Delaware such security interest, except for the filing of a UCC financing
statement in the State of Delaware, which filing has been duly effected, and
the filing of continuation statements with respect thereto required to be filed
at periodic intervals under the UCC.
11. To the best of our knowledge, there are no proceedings
pending or threatened against or affecting the Trust Company or the Owner
Trustee in any court or before any governmental authority, agency or
arbitration board or tribunal which, if adversely determined, individually or
in the aggregate, would materially and adversely affect the right, power and
authority of the Trust Company or the Owner Trustee to enter into or perform
its obligations under the instruments referred to in paragraph 1 above.
The foregoing opinions are subject to the following assumptions,
exceptions and qualifications:

A. The foregoing opinions are limited to the laws of the
State of Delaware and the federal laws of the United States of America
governing the banking and trust powers of the Trust Company. In addition, we
express no opinion with respect to (i) federal securities laws, including the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as
amended, (ii) the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended (except with respect
to the opinion set forth in paragraph 2 above concerning the citizenship of the

(iv) state securities or blue sky laws. Insofar as the foregoing opinions
relate to the validity and enforceability in Delaware of the Equipment Notes
and the Operative Documents expressed to be governed by laws other than the
laws of the State of Delaware, we have assumed that the Equipment Notes and
such Operative Documents constitute legal, valid, binding and enforceable
documents or instruments under such laws (as to which we express no opinion).
B. The foregoing opinions regarding the enforceability
of any document or instrument are subject to (i) applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, moratorium, reorganization, receivership, fraudulent conveyance and
similar laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally, and (ii)
general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
C. We have assumed the due authorization, execution and
delivery by each of the parties thereto, other than the Trust Company and the
Owner Trustee, of the Operative Documents to which each is a party and that
each of such parties has the full power, authority and legal right to execute
and deliver each such document.
D. The opinion set forth in paragraph 2 above concerning
the citizenship of the Trust Company is based upon an affidavit of the Trust
Company, made by its Vice President, the facts set forth in which we have not
independently verified.
E. We have assumed that all signatures (other than those
of the Trust Company and the Owner Trustee) on documents and instruments
submitted to us as originals are authentic, and that all documents and
instruments submitted to

verified.
F. We do not purport to be experts in respect of, or express any
opinion concerning, aviation law or other laws, rules or regulations applicable
to the particular nature of the equipment owned by the Owner Trustee.
G. We have assumed that the Participation Agreement, the
Refunding Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are not within
the prohibitions of Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974.
H. We have assumed the due authentication of the Equipment Notes
by the Loan Trustee.
I. No opinion is expressed as to the nature of the title to any
part of the Trust Estate or the priority of any mortgage or security interest.

TO THE PARTIES SET FORTH
IN SCHEDULE A HERETO
RE: AMERICAN AIRLINES, INC.
REFUNDING AGREEMENT (AA 1995 PTC SERIES AC)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are acting as special counsel to State Street Bank and Trust
Company of Connecticut, National Association, individually ("SSB"), and as Loan
Trustee (the "LOAN TRUSTEE") under the Trust Indenture and Security Agreement
(AA 1995 AF-3), dated as of August 1, 1992 between Wilmington Trust Company, as
Owner Trustee (the "OWNER TRUSTEE") and the Loan Trustee, as successor to
NationsBank of Georgia, National Association, and State Street Bank and Trust
Company (the "PARENT GUARANTOR") in connection with the transactions
contemplated by (i) that certain Refunding Agreement (AA 1995 PTC Series AC)
dated as of June 1, 1995 (the "REFUNDING AGREEMENT"), among SSB, as Loan
Trustee; American Airlines, Inc., as Lessee; AT&T Credit Holdings, Inc.
(formerly known as AT&T Credit Corporation), as Owner Participant; the Owner
Trustee; SSB, as Pass Through Trustee; CIBC, Inc., as Original Loan
Participant; The Mitsubishi Trust and Banking Corporation, New York Branch, as
Initial Bank Lender; and NationsBank of Georgia, National Association, as
Indenture Trustee, and (ii) the Guarantee (AA 1995 PTC Series AC) dated as of
June 1, 1995 (the "GUARANTEE") from the Parent Guarantor to the Beneficiaries
named therein. This opinion is delivered to you pursuant to Section 3(m) and
Section 4(a) of the Refunding Agreement. Except as otherwise defined herein,
terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Refunding Agreement.
Our representation of SSB, the Loan Trustee and the Parent Guarantor
has been as special counsel for the purposes stated above. As to all matters
of fact (including factual conclusions and characterizations and descriptions
of purpose, intention or other state of mind), we have relied entirely upon (i)
the representations of the parties set forth in the Operative Documents and
(ii) certificates delivered to us by the management of SSB
95
Page 2
and the Parent Guarantor, and have assumed, without independent inquiry, the
accuracy of those representations and certificates.
We have examined the Refunding Agreement, the Indenture, the Amended
and Restated Rent Schedule, the Instrument of Resignation, the Participation
Agreement, and the Guarantee, Certificates of the Comptroller of the Currency
and the Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks relating to SSB and the Parent
Guarantor, respectively, and originals, or copies certified or otherwise
identified to our satisfaction, of such other records, documents, certificates,
or other instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable for the
purposes of this opinion.
We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures (other than those on
behalf of SSB, the Loan Trustee and the Parent Guarantor), the conformity to
the originals of all documents reviewed by us as copies, the authenticity and
completeness of all original documents reviewed by us in original or copy form
and the legal competence of each individual executing any document (other than
on behalf SSB, the Loan Trustee and the Parent Guarantor).
When an opinion set forth below is given to the best of our knowledge,
or to our knowledge, or with reference to matters of which we are aware or
which are known to us, or with another similar qualification, the relevant
knowledge or awareness is limited to the actual knowledge or awareness of the
individual lawyer in the firm that signed this opinion, the individual lawyers
in the firm who have participated directly in the specific transactions to
which this opinion relates or in the preparation of this opinion and the
partner of the firm responsible for SSB corporate trust matters, and without
any special or additional investigation undertaken for the purposes of this
opinion.
Each opinion set forth below relating to the enforceability of any
agreement or instrument against SSB, the Loan Trustee, or the Parent Guarantor,
as applicable, is subject to the following general qualifications:
(i) as to any agreement to which SSB, or the Loan Trustee, as
applicable, is a party, we assume that such agreement is the legal, valid and
binding obligation of each other party thereto (other than SSB and the Loan
Trustee, as the case may be);
(ii) the enforceability of any obligation of SSB, the Loan Trustee,
and the Parent Guarantor may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
conveyance, reorganization, moratorium, marshaling and other similar laws and
rules of law affecting the enforcement generally of creditors'
96
Page 3
rights and remedies (including such as may deny giving effect to waivers of
debtors' or guarantors' rights); and
(iii) the enforcement of any rights and availability of any specific
or equitable relief may in all cases be subject to an implied duty of good
faith and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such
enforceability or such relief is considered in a proceeding at law or in
equity).
Subject to the limitation set forth below, we have made such
examination of law as we have deemed necessary for the purposes of this
opinion. The opinions expressed in paragraphs 1 through 9 below are limited
solely to the internal substantive laws of the State of Connecticut and the
federal laws of the United States of America, and the opinions expressed in
paragraphs 10, 12, 13, 14 and 15 below are limited solely to the internal
substantive laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the federal laws of
the United States of America. The opinion expressed in paragraph 11 below is
limited solely to the internal substantive laws of the State of Connecticut and
the internal substantive laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. No opinion
is expressed herein as to the application or effect of federal securities laws
or as to the securities or so-called "Blue Sky" laws of any state or other
jurisdiction. In addition, other than our opinion expressed in paragraph 1
below with respect to the citizenship of SSB, no opinion is expressed as to
matters governed by Title 49 of the United States Code, or by any other law,
statute, rule or regulation of the United States relating to the acquisition,
ownership, registration, use, operation, maintenance, repair, replacement or
sale of or the nature of the Aircraft, Airframe or Engines.
With your permission, with respect to paragraphs 1 through 5 below in
connection with our opinion relating to the legality, validity and binding
effect of the documents there referred to, to the extent that the laws of the
State of Connecticut do not govern such documents, we have assumed that the
laws of the jurisdictions whose laws govern such documents are not materially
different from the internal substantive laws of the State of Connecticut.
This opinion is rendered solely for the benefit of those institutions
listed on Schedule A hereto and their successors and assigns in connection with
the transactions contemplated by the Refunding Agreement and may not be used or
relied upon by any other person or for any other purpose.
Based on and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

or threatened against or affecting SSB, either in its individual capacity or as
Loan Trustee, as the case may be, in any court or before any governmental
authority, agency or arbitration board or tribunal which, if adversely

instruments referred to in paragraph 1 above;

binding obligation of the Parent Guarantor enforceable against the Parent
Guarantor in accordance with its terms;
13. the execution and delivery of the Guarantee and compliance by
the Parent Guarantor with all of the provisions thereof do not and will not (i)

governmental authority or agency applicable to or binding on the Parent
Guarantor or (iii) contravene the provisions of its charter documents or by-laws
or the provisions of any indenture, mortgage, contract or other agreement, in
each case known to us, to which it is a party or by which it or its properties
may be bound or affected;
14. neither the execution nor the delivery of the Guarantee by the
Parent Guarantor nor the performance by the Parent Guarantor of the Guarantee

Re: American Airlines, Inc.
(AC 1995 PTC Series)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special counsel to AT&T Credit Holdings,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Owner Participant"), in connection with the
transactions contemplated by the Refunding Agreement dated as of _____________,
1995 (the "Refunding Agreement"), among American Airlines, Inc., as Lessee,
Wilmington Trust Company, as Owner Trustee, State Street Bank and Trust Company
of Connecticut, National Association, as Pass Through Trustee, NationsBank of
Georgia, National Association, as Indenture Trustee, CIBC, Inc., as Original
Loan Participant, State Street Bank and Trust Company of Connecticut, National
Association, as Loan Trustee, The Mitsubishi Trust and Banking Corporation, New
York Branch, as Initial Bank Lender, and the Owner Participant. This opinion is
given pursuant to Sections 3(n) and 4(a) of the Refunding Agreement. Unless
otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the
meaning ascribed to them in the Refunding Agreement.
In that connection, we have examined executed counterparts of
the Refunding Agreement, the Original Participation Agreement, the
Participation Agreement, the Original Trust Agreement, the Trust Agreement
Amendment, the Original Rent Schedule, the Amended and Restated Rent Schedule,
the Original Tax Indemnity Agreement and the Tax Indemnity Agreement Amendment
(collectively, the "Agreements"). We have further examined and relied upon the
accuracy of original, certified, conformed, photographic or telecopied copies
of such records, agreements, certificates and other documents as we have deemed
necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinions expressed herein.
In all such examinations, we have assumed the genuineness of signatures on
original documents and the conformity to such original documents of all copies
submitted to us as certified, conformed, photographic or telecopied copies,
and, as to certificates and telegraphic and telephonic

confirmations given by public officials, we have assumed the same to have been
properly given and to be accurate.
In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have assumed the
due authorization, execution and delivery of the Agreements by each party other
than the Owner Participant.
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
1. The Participation Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the
Refunding Agreement, the Amended and Restated Rent Schedule and the
Tax Indemnity Agreement constitute valid and binding obligations of
the Owner Participant, enforceable against the Owner Participant in
accordance with their respective terms, except as enforcement thereof
may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization
or other similar laws affecting enforcement of creditors' rights
generally and except as enforcement thereof is subject to general
principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is considered
in a proceeding in equity or at law).
2. Neither the execution and delivery of the
Participation Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Refunding Agreement,
the Amended and Restated Rent Schedule or the Tax Indemnity Agreement
by the Owner Participant nor the consummation by the Owner Participant
of any of the transactions therein contemplated, or the fulfillment
of, or compliance with, the terms and provisions of any thereof, (A)
requires the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the
registration with, or taking of any other action with respect to, any
governmental authority or agency of the State of New York or the
federal government of the United States of America or (B) contravenes
any law, governmental rule or regulation of the State of New York or
the federal government of the United States of America.
In rendering the foregoing opinions, we have, with your
consent, relied upon the opinion of even date herewith of Louis B. Fontana,
Esq., [Assistant Secretary] of the Owner Participant, as to the matters set
forth therein.
The foregoing opinions are subject, however, to the
qualification that we express no opinion as to (i) matters relating to the
title to or sufficiency or description of any property or collateral described
in the Participation Agreement or the Trust Agreement or the perfection or
relative priority of any lien or security interest created with respect to such
property or collateral thereunder or (ii) the enforceability of any
indemnification provisions of the Agreements insofar as they
107
To Each of the Addresses

________________, 1995

might require indemnification of an indemnified party as to any loss, cost or
expense arising out of any violation by any party of statutory duties, general
principles of equity or public policy. In addition, we express no opinion as to
matters governed by (i) any tax laws, (ii) the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as
amended, or any other laws, statutes, rules or regulations of the United States
of America relating to the acquisition, ownership, registration, leasing, use
or sale of the Aircraft, the Airframe or the Engines, (iii) any securities laws
or (iv) the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
We are licensed to practice law in the State of New York, and
we express no opinions herein as to the laws of any state or jurisdiction other
than the laws of the State of New York, the federal laws of the United States

Gentlemen:
I am ______________________________ of AT&T Credit Holdings,

counsel to the Owner Participant in connection with the transactions
contemplated by that certain Refunding Agreement dated as of ______________,
1995 (the "Refunding Agreement") by and among American Airlines, Inc., as

Corporation, New York Branch, as Initial Bank Lender, and the Owner
Participant.
Except as otherwise noted herein, all capitalized terms used
herein shall have the respective defined meanings set forth in the Refunding
Agreement.
In connection with my opinion herein, I have examined executed
counterparts of the Refunding Agreement, the Original Participation Agreement,
the Participation Agreement, the Original Trust Agreement, the Trust Agreement
Amendment, the Original Tax Indemnity Agreement, the Tax Indemnity Agreement
Amendment, the Original Rent Schedule and the Amended and Restated Rent
Schedule (collectively, the "Agreements"). I have relied upon the

originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of
such other documents as I have deemed relevant to the rendering of this
opinion. As to all matters of fact covered by such documents, I have relied,
without independent investigation or verification, on such documents. In such

In rendering the opinions set forth below, I have assumed the
due authorization, execution and delivery of the Agreements by each of the
parties thereto other than the Owner Participant. In rendering the opinions set
forth below I have also assumed (i) the registration of the Aircraft with the
FAA in the name of the Owner Trustee effected on __________, 1992 is in full
force and effect, (ii) the due filing and recordation under the Federal
Aviation Act of 1958, as amended, of the Trust Indenture, as amended by the
Amended and Restated Trust Indenture and Security Agreement, and other
documents described in the opinion of Crowe & Dunlevy of even date herewith
addressed to you, (iii) the absence at the time of such recording of any Liens
in or upon such Aircraft, except for Liens created pursuant to the Operative
Documents, and (iv) the filing of the Uniform Commercial Code financing
statements and amendments thereto in the appropriate jurisdictions.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is my opinion that:
1. The Owner Participant is a duly incorporated and
validly existing corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of
Delaware and has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute,
deliver and perform its obligations under the Agreements.
2. The Agreements have been duly authorized, executed
and delivered by the Owner Participant.
3. Neither the execution of and delivery by the Owner
Participant of the Agreements nor the consummation by the Owner Participant of
any of the transactions contemplated thereby, nor the fulfillment of or
compliance with the terms and provisions of any of the Agreements that are
required to be fulfilled or complied with by the Owner Participant (a) requires
the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, or the registration with,
or the taking of any other action with respect to, any governmental authority
or agency of the Federal government of the United States; or (b) violates any
law, governmental rule or regulation of the Federal Government of the United
States or any governmental authority or agency thereof; or (c) results in the
breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Certificate of
Incorporation or By-Laws of the Owner Participant; or (d) to the best of my
knowledge without independent inquiry, is in violation of any judgment or order
applicable to the Owner Participant or any material provision of any indenture,
mortgage, contract or other agreement to which the Owner Participant is a party
or by which the Owner Participant is bound.

4. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending
or, to the best of my knowledge without independent investigation, threatened
against or affecting the Owner Participant in any court or before any
administrative agency or arbitrator, which, if adversely determined, would
materially and adversely affect the ability of the Owner Participant to perform
its obligations under the Agreements.
I am a member of the Bar of the State of Illinois, and I do
not express herein any opinion as to any matters governed by any law other than
the corporate laws of the State of Delaware and the Federal law of the United
States. No opinion is expressed herein as to matters governed by (i) any
Federal or state securities laws, (ii) any Federal or state tax laws, or (iii)
the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended, or by any other laws, statutes,

Based upon our examination of the above described instruments
and of such records of the FAA as we deemed necessary to render this opinion
and as were made available to us by the FAA, it is our opinion that:
(a) the Trust Agreement Amendment was duly filed with the
FAA pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions
of Sections 44102 and 44103 of the Code;
(b) the Instrument of Resignation, the Indenture and the
Lease Amendment are in due form for recordation by
and have been duly filed for recordation with the FAA
pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of
Section 44107 of the Code;
(c) the AC Form 8050 2 Aircraft Bill of Sale conveying
title to the Aircraft to the Owner Trustee was duly
recorded by the FAA on __________, pursuant to and in
accordance with the provisions of Section 44107 of
the Code and has been assigned FAA Conveyance No.
______________, the Lease (to which was attached the
Original Indenture) was duly recorded by the
FAA on the same date pursuant to and in accordance
with the provisions of Section 44107 of the Code and
has been assigned FAA Conveyance No. _______ and the
Original Indenture was duly recorded by the FAA on
the same date pursuant to and in accordance with the
provisions of Section 44107 of the Code and has been
assigned FAA Conveyance No. ______ ;
(d) the Aircraft is duly registered in the name of the
Owner Trustee pursuant to and in accordance with the
provisions of Sections 44102 and 44103 of the Code;
(e) the Owner Trustee is the owner of legal title to the
Aircraft, and the Aircraft and the Engines are free
and clear of all Liens (as such term is defined in
the Lease), except those created by the Original
Indenture, as assigned by the Instrument of
Resignation and amended and restated by the
Indenture, and the Lease, as assigned by the
Instrument of Resignation and amended by the Lease
Amendment;
116
Page 4
(f) the rights of the Owner Trustee and the Lessee under
the Lease, as assigned by the Instrument of
Resignation and amended by the Lease Amendment, with
respect to the Aircraft and the Engines are
perfected;
(g) the Original Indenture, as assigned by the Instrument
of Resignation and amended and restated by the
Indenture, constitutes a duly and validly perfected
first priority mortgage of the Aircraft and the
Engines and a duly perfected collateral assignment of
all of the right, title and interest of the Owner
Trustee in, to and under the Lease, as assigned by
the Instrument of Resignation and amended by the
Lease Amendment (insofar as such collateral
assignment affects an interest covered by the
recording system established by the FAA pursuant to
Section 44107 of the Code), subject only to the
Lease, as assigned by the Instrument of Resignation
and amended by the Lease Amendment;
(h) none of the Original Indenture, the Lease, the
Instrument of Resignation, the Indenture or the Lease
Amendment is required to be filed or recorded in any

perfect the mortgage of the Aircraft and the Engines
or the collateral assignment to the Loan Trustee of
the Lease, as assigned by the Instrument of
Resignation and amended by the Lease Amendment
(insofar as such collateral assignment affects an
interest covered by the recording system established
by the FAA pursuant to Section 44107 of the Code),
under the applicable laws of any jurisdiction within
the United States;
(i) no other registration of the Aircraft and no filings
other than the filings with the FAA which have been
effected as described above are necessary to perfect
in any jurisdiction within the United States the
Owner Trustee's title to and interest in the
Aircraft, the rights of the parties under the Lease,
as assigned by the Instrument of Resignation and
amended by the Lease Amendment, or the Loan Trustee's
security interest created by the Original Indenture,
as assigned by the Instrument of Resignation and
amended and
117

restated by the Indenture, in and to the Aircraft and
the Engines and the collateral assignment of all of
the Owner Trustee's right, title and interest in, to
and under the Lease, as amended by the Lease
Amendment (insofar as such assignment affects an
interest covered by the recording system established
by the FAA pursuant to Section 44107 of the Code);
and
(j) no authorization, approval, consent, license or order
of, or registration or filing with, or the giving of
notice to, the FAA Aircraft Registry is required for
the valid authorization, delivery or performance of
the Original Indenture, the Instrument of
Resignation, the Indenture, the Lease and the Lease
Amendment, except for such filings as have been
effected.
No opinion is herein expressed as to: (i) laws other than the
federal laws of the United States; (ii) the validity or enforceability under
local law of the Original Indenture, as assigned by the Instrument of
Resignation and amended and restated by the Indenture; and (iii) the
recognition of the perfection of the mortgage and collateral assignment created
by the Original Indenture, as assigned by the Instrument of Resignation and
amended and restated by the Indenture, as against third parties in any legal
proceedings outside the United States. Since our examination was limited to
records maintained by the FAA Aircraft Registry, our opinion does not cover
liens which are perfected without the filing of notice thereof with the FAA,
such as federal tax liens, liens arising under Section 1368(a) of Title 29 of
the United States Code and possessory artisans' liens, and was subject to the
accuracy of FAA personnel in the filing, indexing and recording of instruments
filed with the FAA and in the search for encumbrance cross-reference index
cards for the Engines.
In rendering this opinion, we have relied upon the opinion of
the Assistant Chief Counsel for the Aeronautical Center dated _______________ ,
1992 (a copy of which is attached hereto) and upon the past practice of the FAA
which is consistent with said opinion. Said opinion is satisfactory as to form
and scope and the addressees and their counsel or special counsel are justified
in relying thereon.

TO THE PARTIES SET FORTH
IN SCHEDULE A HERETO
RE: AMERICAN AIRLINES, INC.
REFUNDING AGREEMENT (AA 1995 PTC SERIES AC)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are acting special as counsel to State Street Bank and Trust
Company of Connecticut, National Association, individually ("SSB"), and as Pass
Through Trustee (the "PASS THROUGH TRUSTEE") under the Pass Through Trust
Agreement, Amended and Restated as of February 1, 1992, between American
Airlines, Inc. and the Pass Through Trustee, and State Street Bank and Trust
Company (the "PARENT GUARANTOR") in connection with the transactions
contemplated by (i) that certain Refunding Agreement (AA 1995 PTC Series AC)
dated as of June _, 1995 (the "REFUNDING AGREEMENT"), among SSB, as Pass
Through Trustee; American Airlines, Inc., as Lessee; AT&T Credit Holdings, Inc.
(formerly known as AT&T Credit Corporation), as Owner Participant; Wilmington
Trust Company, as Owner Trustee; SSB, as Loan Trustee; CIBC Inc., as
Original Loan Participant; The Mitsubishi Trust Banking Corporation, New York
Branch, as Initial Bank Lender; and NationsBank of Georgia, National
Association, as Indenture Trustee, and (ii) the Guarantee (Pass Through
Trustee) dated as of June __, 1995 (the "GUARANTEE") from the Parent Guarantor
to the Beneficiaries named therein. This opinion is delivered to you pursuant
to Section 4(b)(ii) of the Refunding Agreement. Except as otherwise defined
herein, terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Refunding
Agreement or in the Pass Through Trust Supplements or the Lease (as such terms
are defined in the Refunding Agreement).
Our representation of SSB, the Pass Through Trustee and the Parent
Guarantor has been as special counsel for the purposes stated above. As to all
matters of fact (including factual conclusions and characterizations and
descriptions of purpose, intention or other state of mind), we have relied
entirely upon (i) the representations of the parties set forth in the Operative
Documents and (ii) certificates delivered to us by the management of SSB
121
Page 2
and the Parent Guarantor, and have assumed, without independent inquiry, the
accuracy of those representations and certificates.
We have examined the Refunding Agreement, the Participation Agreement,
the Guarantee, the Pass Through Certificates and the Pass Through Trust
Documents, Certificates of the Comptroller of the Currency and the
Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks relating to SSB and the Parent Guarantor,
respectively, and originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our
satisfaction, of other such records, documents, certificates, or other
instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable for the purposes of this
opinion.
We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures (other than those on
behalf of SSB, the Pass Through Trustee and the Parent Guarantor), the
conformity to the originals of all documents reviewed by us as copies, the
authenticity and completeness of all original documents reviewed by us in
original or copy form and the legal competence of each individual executing
any document (other than on behalf of SSB, the Pass Through Trustee and the
Parent Guarantor).
When an opinion set forth below is given to the best of our knowledge,
or to our knowledge, or with reference to matters of which we are aware or
which are known to us, or with another similar qualification, the relevant
knowledge or awareness is limited to the actual knowledge or awareness of the
individual lawyer in the firm that signed this opinion, the individual lawyers
in the firm who have participated directly in the specific transactions to
which this opinion relates or in the preparation of this opinion and the
partner of the firm responsible for SSB corporate trust matters, and without
any special or additional investigation undertaken for the purposes of this
opinion.
Each opinion set forth below relating to the enforceability of any
agreement or instrument against SSB, the Pass Through Trustee, or the Parent
Guarantor, as applicable, is subject to the following general qualifications:
(i) as to any agreement to which SSB, or the Pass Through Trustee,
as applicable, is a party, we assume that such agreement is the legal, valid
and binding obligation of each other party (other than SSB and the Pass Through
Trustee, as the case may be) thereto;
(ii) the enforceability of any obligation of SSB, the Pass Through
Trustee, and the Parent Guarantor may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium, marshalling
122
Page 3
and other similar laws and rules of law affecting the enforcement generally of
creditors' rights and remedies (including such as may deny giving effect to
waivers of debtors' or guarantors' rights); and
(iii) the enforcement of any rights and the availability of any
specific or equitable relief of any kind may in all cases be subject to an
implied duty of good faith and to general principles of equity (regardless of
whether such enforceability or relief is considered in a proceeding at law or
in equity).
Subject to the limitation set forth below, we have made such
examination of law as we have deemed necessary for the purposes of this
opinion. The opinions expressed in paragraphs 1 through 7 below are limited
solely to the internal substantive laws of the State of Connecticut and the
federal laws of the United States of America, and the opinions expressed in
paragraphs 8, 10, 11, 12 and 13 below are limited solely to the laws of The
Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the federal laws of the United States of
America. The opinion expressed in paragraph 9 below is limited solely to the
internal substantive laws of the State of Connecticut and the internal
substantive laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. No opinion is expressed
herein as to the application or effect of federal securities laws or as to the
securities or so-called "Blue Sky" laws of any state or other jurisdiction. In
addition, other than our opinion expressed in paragraph 1 below with respect to
the citizenship of SSB, no opinion is expressed as to matters governed by Title
49 of the United States Code, or by any other law, statute, rule or regulation
of the United States relating to the acquisition, ownership, registration, use,
operation, maintenance, repair, replacement or sale of or the nature of the
Aircraft, Airframe or Engines.
With your permission, with respect to paragraphs 1 through 5 below in
connection with our opinion relating to the legality, validity and binding
effect of the documents there referred to, to the extent that the laws of the
State of Connecticut do not govern such documents, we have assumed that the
laws of the jurisdictions whose laws govern such documents are not materially
different from the internal substantive laws of the State of Connecticut.
In rendering the opinions set forth below in paragraphs 6 and 13 as to
certain Connecticut and Massachusetts tax matters, respectively, we have
assumed that, for federal income tax purposes, the trusts created by the Pass
Through Trust Supplements are not classified as associations taxable as
corporations and that the trusts created by the Pass Through Trust Supplements
are grantor trusts under subpart E, Part I of Subchapter J of Chapter 1 of
Subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

This opinion is rendered solely for the benefit of those institutions
listed on Schedule A hereto and their successors and assigns in connection with
the transactions contemplated by the Refunding Agreement and may not be used or
relied upon by any other person or for any other purpose.
Based on and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
1. SSB is a national banking association duly organized and
validly existing in good standing with the Comptroller of the Currency under
the laws of the United States of America, is a "citizen of the United States"
within the meaning of Section 40102(a)(15) of Title 49 of the United States
Code, and has the corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and carry
out, individually or as Pass Through Trustee, as the case may be, the terms of
the Refunding Agreement, the Participation Agreement and each of the Pass
Through Trust Documents;
2. each of the Refunding Agreement and the Pass Through Trust
Documents has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by SSB, individually
or as Pass Through Trustee, as the case may be, and, assuming the due
authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties thereto and that
value has been given, the Refunding Agreement, the Participation Agreement, the
Pass Through Certificates and the Pass Through Trust Documents constitute the
legal, valid and binding obligations of SSB, individually or as Pass Through
Trustee, as the case may be, enforceable against it in such capacities in
accordance with their respective terms;
3. the Pass Through Certificates issued on the date hereof have
been duly authorized and duly and validly executed, authenticated, issued and
delivered by SSB, as Pass Through Trustee, pursuant to the terms and provisions
of, and in accordance with the requirements of, each of the Pass Through Trust
Documents, as supplemented, and the holders thereof are entitled to the
benefits of the Pass Through Trust Agreement, as supplemented, pursuant to
which the Pass Through Certificates held by such holder were issued;
4. the execution, delivery and performance by SSB, individually
or as Pass Through Trustee, as the case may be, of the Refunding Agreement and
each of the Pass Through Trust Documents, the performance by it of the
Participation Agreement, and the purchase by the Pass Through Trustee of the
Pass Through Equipment Notes pursuant to the Refunding Agreement and the
issuance of the Pass Through Certificates pursuant to the Pass Through Trust
Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the
part of SSB, individually or as Pass Through Trustee,
124
Page 5
as the case may be, and do not and did not require any approval of the
stockholders of SSB, and such execution, delivery, performance and other
actions were not and are not in violation of SSB's Articles of Association or
By-laws or of any indenture, mortgage, credit agreement, license or other
agreement or instrument, in each case known to us, to which SSB, individually
or as Pass Through Trustee, as the case may be, is a party or by which it in
either capacity is bound, or of any judgment or order known to us or of any
federal law, rule or regulation relating to its banking or trust powers or any
Connecticut law, rule or regulation applicable to SSB in either capacity;
5. neither the execution, delivery or performance by SSB,
individually or as Pass Through Trustee, as the case may be, of the Refunding
Agreement, the Pass Through Certificates and the Pass Through Trust Documents,
nor the performance by it of the Participation Agreement, nor the consummation
of any of the transactions by SSB, individually or as Pass Through Trustee, as
the case may be, contemplated thereby nor the purchase by the Pass Through
Trustee of the Pass Through Equipment Notes pursuant to the Refunding Agreement
or the issuance of the Pass Through Certificates pursuant to the Pass Through
Trust Documents required or requires the consent or approval of, the giving of
notice to, or the registration with, or the taking of any other action with
respect to, any governmental authority or agency under any existing federal or
Connecticut law governing the banking, fiduciary or trust powers of SSB;
6. there are no taxes (including, without limitation, net or
gross income, tangible or intangible property, net worth, capital, franchise or
doing business taxes), fees or other governmental charges ("Taxes") payable
under the laws of the State of Connecticut or any political subdivision thereof
with respect to the authorization, execution and delivery by SSB, in its
individual capacity or as Pass Through Trustee, as the case may be, or by the
Lessee, of the Pass Through Trust Documents, the Participation Agreement or
the Refunding Agreement or in connection with the authorization, execution,
issuance, authentication or delivery of any or all of the Pass Through
Certificates pursuant to the Pass Through Trust Documents. Neither SSB, in
its individual capacity or as Pass Through Trustee, as the case may be, the
trusts created by the Pass Through Trust Documents, any of the Trust Property
nor the Loan Trustee in its capacity as trustee, will be subject to any Taxes
under the laws of the State of Connecticut or any political subdivision thereof
(other than Taxes imposed on the fees received by SSB for acting as Loan
Trustee or as Pass Through Trustee). Holders of Pass Through Certificates or
persons acquiring an interest in Pass Through Certificates who are not
residents of or otherwise subject to tax in

Page 6
Connecticut will not be subject to any Taxes under the laws of the State of
Connecticut or any political subdivision thereof as a result of purchasing,
holding, owning (including receiving payments with respect to) or selling a

with respect to the property, held by the Pass Through Trustee under the Pass

Trust Documents, which would not have been imposed if SSB had not had its
principal place of business in, and not performed, either in its individual
capacity or as Pass Through Trustee, as the case may be, any or all of its
administrative duties under the Pass Through Trust Documents in, and had not
engaged in any activities unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the
Operative Documents or the Pass Through Trust Documents in, the State of
Connecticut;
7. to the best of our knowledge, there are no proceedings pending
or threatened against or affecting SSB, either in its individual capacity or as
Pass Through Trustee, as the case may be, in any court or before any
governmental authority, agency or arbitration board or tribunal which, if
adversely determined, individually or in the aggregate, would materially and
adversely affect the trusts created by the Pass Through Trust Documents or
would question the right, power and authority of SSB in either capacity to
enter into or perform its obligations under the instruments referred to in
paragraphs 1 and 3 above;
8. the Parent Guarantor is a Massachusetts trust company, duly

of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts under the laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts;

Page 7
and the Guarantee has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by duly
authorized officers of the Parent Guarantor and is the legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Parent Guarantor enforceable against the Parent Guarantor in
accordance with its terms;
11. the execution and delivery of the Guarantee and compliance by
the Parent Guarantor with all of the provisions thereof do not and will not (i)
contravene any law or, (ii) contravene any order known to us of any court or
governmental authority or agency applicable to or binding on the Parent
Guarantor or (iii) contravene the provisions of its charter documents or by-laws
or the provisions of any indenture, mortgage, contract or other agreement, in
each case known to us, to which it is a party or by which it or its properties
may be bound or affected;
12. neither the execution nor the delivery of the Guarantee by the
Parent Guarantor nor the performance by the Parent Guarantor of the Guarantee
requires the consent, approval or authorization of, the giving of notice to,
the recording or filing, registration or qualification with, or the taking of
any other action in respect of any Massachusetts governmental authority on the
part of the Parent Guarantor.
13. there are no taxes (including, without limitation, net or
gross income, tangible or intangible property, net worth, capital, franchise or
doing business taxes), fees or other governmental charges ("Taxes") payable
under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or any political
subdivision thereof with respect to the authorization, execution and delivery
by SSB, in its individual capacity or as Pass Through Trustee, as the case may
be, or by the Lessee, of the Pass Through Trust Documents, the Participation
Agreement or the Refunding Agreement or in connection with the authorization,

trusts created by the Pass Through Trust Documents, any of the Trust Property
nor the Loan Trustee in its capacity as trustee, will be subject to any Taxes
under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or any political

Certificates or persons acquiring an interest in Pass Through Certificates who
are not residents of or otherwise subject to tax in Massachusetts will not be

proceeds received with respect to the property, held by the Pass Through

had not performed, either in its individual capacity or as Pass Through
Trustee, as the case may be, any or all of its administrative duties under the
Pass Through Trust Documents in, and had not engaged in any activities
unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents or the

Title 11 of the United States Code to the extent such
provisions give recourse against the Owner Trustee (in its
individual capacity) and the Owner Participant on account of
any amount payable as principal of, Swap Breakage Loss, if
any, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest on the Equipment
Notes. If (i) all or any part of the Trust Estate becomes the
property of, or the Owner Participant becomes, a debtor
subject to the reorganization provisions of the Bankruptcy
Reform Act of 1978 or any successor provision, (ii) pursuant
to such reorganization provisions the Owner Trustee (in its

Participant on account of (ii) above, then such holder, such
Pass Through Trustee or the Loan Trustee shall promptly refund
to the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant (whichever shall
have made such payment) such Excess Payment. For purposes of
this Section 9(k), "Excess Payment" means the amount by which
such payment exceeds the amount
88

137
which would have been received by such Holder, such Pass
Through Trustee or the Loan 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 9(k) shall
prevent any holder of an Equipment Note, any Pass Through
Trustee or the Loan Trustee from enforcing any personal
recourse obligation (and retaining the proceeds thereof) of
the Owner Trustee (in its individual capacity) or the Owner
Participant under the Refunding Agreement, this Participation
Agreement or the Trust Indenture (and any exhibits or annexes
thereto).

Trustee hereby agrees, for the benefit of the Lessee, to
cooperate with the Lessee in effecting any foreign
registration of the Aircraft pursuant to Section 7(a)(i) of

country of registry of the Aircraft (other than a change in
country of registry that results in the registration of the

or refinancing involving a public offering of debt securities,
the Lessee shall have the right to purchase such debt
securities and apply such debt securities as a credit against

17(a)(ii), all interest accrued thereon to the Refinancing
Date and (y) the application of the proceeds of the sale of
such debt securities to the redemption of all such Equipment

that portion of the next succeeding installment of Basic Rent
as shall equal the aggregate interest accrued on the Equipment
Notes then being redeemed on the Refinancing Date in the event
that such interest is not financed through the issuance of
debt securities on the Refinancing Date, (x) Basic Rent
payable in respect of the period from and after the
Refinancing Date shall be recalculated to preserve the Owner
Participant's Revised Net Economic Return, (y) amounts payable
in respect of Stipulated Loss Value and Termination Value from

the liabilities of or impair the rights of the Owner
Participant under the Operative Documents without the consent

the Lessee shall pay as Supplemental Rent on an After-Tax
Basis all reasonable fees, costs, and expenses of such

terms and the amount thereof, the Owner Participant provides the
Lessee with a written notice to the effect that there will be a risk
of adverse tax consequences to the Owner Participant resulting from
the refunding or refinancing and, if then requested by the Lessee in
writing, within 15 days after receipt of such request, the Owner
Participant provides the Lessee with a written opinion of independent
tax counsel selected by the Owner Partici-
102

will be a risk of such adverse tax consequences to the Owner
Participant resulting from the refunding or refinancing (other than
the consequence that the refinanced loan constitutes "qualified
nonrecourse indebtedness" within the meaning of Temporary Regulations
Section 1.861-10T(b) for the purpose of the computation of the FSC
Benefits (as defined in the Tax Indemnity Agreement)), then the Owner
Trustee and the Owner Participant shall be required to effect such
refunding or refinancing only if the Lessee shall have agreed to
indemnify the Owner Participant against such identified adverse tax
consequences in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Owner
Participant; provided, however, the parties agree that in the absence
of a change in applicable laws, regulations, revenue rulings, revenue
procedures or judicial precedents enacted, adopted or decided after
the Delivery Date, a refinancing or refunding will not be deemed for
this purpose to result in a risk of the Owner Participant not being
considered the owner of the Aircraft, Airframe, any Engine or any Part
for Federal or other income tax purposes, (y) no such refinancing or
refunding shall require an increase in the amount of the Owner
Participant's investment in the beneficial ownership of the Aircraft
or shall cause the ratio of the newly issued debt to the Owner
Participant's then outstanding investment in the Aircraft to be more
than 4 to 1 and (z) except with respect to matters relating to taxes,
no such refunding or refinancing will materially increase the
liabilities of or impair the rights of the Owner Participant. In
addition, neither the refunding or refinancing, nor any related
adjustment of Basic Rent, shall increase or decrease the periodic
earnings (as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 13 issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board) of the
Owner Participant for any calendar year in the period (if any) from
the date of such refunding or refinancing to December 31, 1998 each by
an amount greater than 10% of the amount of earnings expected for each
such calendar year immediately prior to such refunding or refinancing.
"(b) The Equipment Notes, and any other debt instruments
issued in connection with any refunding or refinancing operation
permitted by this Section 17, shall not be subject to optional
redemption by the
103

Transaction Costs are less or more than 1.0932% of Lessor's Cost, or
(B) prior to the acceptance of the Aircraft on the Delivery Date: (1)
there shall have occurred a Change in Tax Law and (2) after having
been advised in writing by the Owner Participant of such Change in Tax
Law and the proposed adjustment to the payments of Basic Rent
resulting therefrom, Lessee shall have waived its right under Section
11 of the Participation Agreement to decline to proceed with the
transaction, or (C) a refinancing or refunding as contemplated by
Section 17 hereof occurs, or (D) the Delivery Date is other than July
9, 1992, or (E) if the Certificates are not refunded or refinanced on

Amount (as defined in the Original Participation Agreement (after
adjustment for any Excess Payment Differential Amount) (as defined in

then, in each case, the Owner Participant shall recalculate the
payments of Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss Values, Termination Values and
the Excess Payment Amount with respect to the Term (i) to preserve the
Owner Participant's Revised Net Economic Return and (ii) to minimize,
to the greatest extent possible, consistent with the foregoing clause
(i), the present value (discounted semiannually at an interest rate
per annum to be supplied by the Lessee) of the payments of Basic Rent.
In addition, in the event of a refinancing or refunding referred to in
clause (C) of the preceding sentence, the Special Purchase Price
Percentage and the Special Purchase Option Date shall be recalculated
in a manner consistent with the procedures specified in Section 20(c)
of the Original Participation Agreement. In performing any such
recalculations, the Owner Participant shall utilize the same methods
and assumptions used by the Owner Participant in the calculation of
the schedules included in the Amended and Restated Rent Schedule dated
as of the Refunding Date, as such assumptions may be changed as a
result of the event described in clause (A), (B), (C), (D) or (E) of
the second
104

153
preceding sentence necessitating such recalculation or due to the

EXHIBIT N TO
REFUNDING AGREEMENT
Terms of Swap Transaction
(a) The Initial Bank Lender represents, warrants and covenants as
of the Refunding Date that for all purposes of the Operative Documents, it has
entered into an interest rate swap transaction (as the same may be assigned, in
whole or in part, to any other Bank Lender as provided below, the "Swap
Transaction") under a form of confirmation with a swap counterparty
satisfactory to the Lessee (the "Swap Counterparty") governed by an ISDA Master
Agreement (the "Swap Agreement") in the standard form thereof (the "Form")
published in 1992 by, and incorporating by reference therein the definitions
and provisions contained in the 1991 ISDA Definitions (the "Definitions") of,
the International Swap Dealers Association, Inc. and having the economic terms
set forth below in this Exhibit N. The Initial Bank Lender agrees that, in the
event of any transfer of any Bank Equipment Notes to a Permitted Transferee
pursuant to Section 10(e) of the Refunding Agreement, the Initial Bank Lender
shall either (x) assign or cause to be assigned the portion of the Swap
Transaction allocable to such Permitted Transferee's Bank Equipment Notes to
such Permitted Transferee and shall obtain the consent of the Swap Counterparty
to such assignment, it being agreed that no transfer, in whole or in part, of
any such Bank Equipment Note to such Permitted Transferee shall be permitted
under the Operative Documents unless such Permitted Transferee, prior to or
concurrently with such transfer, shall enter into a confirmation with the Swap
Counterparty conforming to the Swap Transaction in respect of such Permitted
Transferee's Bank Equipment Notes or (y) extend, pursuant to arrangements
reasonably satisfactory to the Lessee, the benefits of a pro rata share of the
Swap Transaction with the Swap Counterparty to such Permitted Transferee as
contemplated by the definition of "Swap Participation" set forth in the
Refunding Agreement. The parties agree that, notwithstanding anything herein or
in any Operative Document to the contrary, in the event that a Break Funding
Amount is required to be calculated pursuant to this Exhibit N, notwithstanding
any transfer from time to time of all or part of the Bank Equipment Notes
issued on the Refunding Date, any such Break Funding Amount shall be calculated
solely by reference to the economic terms set forth in this Exhibit N, and in
no event shall the aggregate of such Break Funding Amounts for all Bank Lenders
be calculated with respect to a Notional Amount (as such term is used in this
Exhibit N) at the time greater than the outstanding aggregate principal amount
of all of the Bank Equipment
Series AC
157
Notes subject to acceleration or being redeemed or purchased at such time. Each
Bank Lender agrees that, except as provided below, it will not amend or
terminate or permit to be terminated through its own action or inaction the
Swap Transaction in respect of its Bank Equipment Notes in a manner that would
have an adverse effect on the rights or interests of the Lessee without the
prior written consent of the Lessee (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld).
(b) The Initial Bank Lender agrees, and each other Bank Lender, by
becoming such, shall be deemed to have agreed, that the "Swap Breakage Gain" or
"Swap Breakage Loss", with respect to any Bank Lender whose Bank Equipment
Notes are redeemed (or purchased in lieu of redemption) or accelerated in
circumstances under which Swap Breakage Loss or Swap Breakage Gain is incurred
or received, as the case may be, by such Bank Lender, shall be determined as
follows: such Bank Lender (or, in the case of a Swap Participation, the Initial
Bank Lender acting on behalf of such Bank Lender) will use its best efforts to
cause the Swap Counterparty to advise the Lessee and the Owner Trustee of the
Market Quotation determined by such Swap Counterparty (such Swap Counterparty
being the party making the determination of the Market Quotation for purposes
of the definition of Market Quotation in the Swap Agreement) in connection with
the termination of that portion of the Swap Transaction allocable to that
portion of such Bank Lender's Secured Equipment Certificates then being so
redeemed or so accelerated. If such Market Quotation is a negative number, the
absolute value of the amount thereof shall be the Swap Breakage Gain
attributable to such Bank Lender for all purposes of the Operative Documents;
if such Market Quotation is a positive number, the amount thereof shall be the
Swap Breakage Loss attributable to such Bank Lender for all purposes of the
Operative Documents. Each Bank Lender acknowledges that the Lessee shall have
the right to designate two of the Reference Market-makers to be used by the
Swap Counterparty (such Reference Market-makers to be reasonably acceptable to
the Swap Counterparty) in connection with the Swap Counterparty's determination
of the Market Quotation for settlement of the Swap Transaction and agrees to
use its best efforts to cause the Swap Counterparty to cooperate with the
Lessee with respect to the provisions of this Exhibit N and to provide in a
timely fashion such information as the Lessee may reasonably request to
facilitate the quotation by such Reference Market-makers designated by the
Lessee.

subject to termination. In the event of a transfer of such
Bank Lender's Bank Equipment Notes pursuant to Section 14(b)
of the Refunding Agreement, the portion of the Swap
Transaction allocable to such Bank Lender shall be subject to
full termination in the event that the Replacement Bank
Lender(s) does not either assume its proportionate share of
the Swap Transaction or assume or enter into a Swap
Participation as provided in such Section 14(b);

RE: AMERICAN AIRLINES, INC.
PASS THROUGH CERTIFICATES, SERIES 1995-A
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are acting as special counsel to State Street Bank and Trust
Company of Connecticut, National Association, individually ("SSB"), and as Pass
Through Trustee (the "PASS THROUGH TRUSTEE") under the Pass Through Trust
Agreement, Amended and Restated as of February 1, 1992 (the "AGREEMENT"),
between American Airlines, Inc. (the "COMPANY") and the Pass Through Trustee;
as supplemented by Trust Supplement No. 1 dated as of June 15, 1995 ("TRUST
SUPPLEMENT NO. 1"), to be entered into between the Company and the Pass Through
Trustee. Pursuant to the Agreement and Trust Supplement No. 1, the Pass Through
Trustee will issue Pass Through Certificates, Series 1995-A in an aggregate
principal amount of up to $65,898,000 ("PASS THROUGH CERTIFICATES"), registered
with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "1933 ACT"), by a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File
No. 33-42998), as amended (the "REGISTRATION STATEMENT"). Except as otherwise
defined herein, terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in the
Agreement or in Trust Supplement No. 1.
Our representation of the Pass Through Trustee has been as special
counsel for the purposes stated above. As to all matters of fact (including
factual conclusions and characterizations and descriptions of purpose,
intention or other state of mind), we have relied entirely upon (i) the
representations of the parties set forth in the Operative Documents and (ii)
certificates delivered to us by the management of SSB and have assumed, without
independent inquiry, the accuracy of those representations and certificates.

BINGHAM, DANA & GOULD
We have examined the Agreement, the Trust Supplement No. 1, the Pass
Through Certificates, the discussion in the Supplement to the Prospectus, dated
June 8, 1995, applicable to the issuance of the Pass Through Certificates
constituting part of the Registration Statement (the "PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT")
entitled "Certain Connecticut and Massachusetts Taxes," and originals, or
copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of other such
records, documents, certificates, or other instruments as we have deemed
necessary or advisable for the purposes of this opinion.
We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures (other than those on
behalf of SSB and the Pass Through Trustee), the conformity to the originals of
all documents reviewed by us as copies, the authenticity and completeness of
all original documents reviewed by us in original or copy form and the legal
competence of each individual executing any document (other than on behalf of
SSB and the Pass Through Trustee).
Each opinion set forth below relating to the enforceability of any agreement or
instrument against the Pass Through Trustee, is subject to the following
general qualifications:
(i) as to any agreement to which the Pass Through Trustee, as
applicable, is a party, we assume that such agreement is the legal, valid and
binding obligation of each other party (other than the Pass Through Trustee)
thereto;
(ii) the enforceability of any obligation of the Pass Through
Trustee may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance,
reorganization, moratorium, marshalling and other similar laws and rules of law
affecting the enforcement generally of creditors rights and remedies (including
such as may deny giving effect to waivers of debtors' or guarantors' rights);
and
(iii) the enforcement of any rights and the availability of any
specific or equitable relief of any kind may in all cases be subject to an
implied duty of good faith and to general principles of equity (regardless of
whether such enforceability or relief is considered in a proceeding at law or
in equity).
Subject to the limitation set forth below, we have made such
examination of law as we have deemed necessary for the purposes of this
opinion. The opinions set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2 below are based on and
3
BINGHAM, DANA & GOULD
limited to the Federal laws of the United States and the internal substantive
laws of the States of New York and Connecticut. The opinion set forth in
paragraph 3 below is based on and limited to the internal substantive laws of
the State of Connecticut and the internal substantive laws of the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts. Insofar as the matters referred to herein relate to the laws
of the State of New York, we have relied entirely upon the opinion of even
date herewith of Debevoise & Plimpton and the opinions set forth herein are
subject to each of the qualifications and assumptions contained in said
opinion. No opinion is expressed herein as to the application or effect of
federal securities laws or as to the securities or so called "Blue Sky" laws of
any state or other jurisdiction. In addition, no opinion is expressed as to
matters governed by Title 49 of the United States Code, or by any other law,
statute, rule or regulation of the United States relating to the acquisition,
ownership, registration, use, operation, maintenance, repair, replacement or
sale of or the nature of the Aircraft, Airframe or Engines.
Based on and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
1. The execution, authentication, issue and delivery by the Pass
Through Trustee of the Pass Through Certificates and Trust Supplement No. 1
have been duly authorized by the Trustee.
2. With respect to the Pass Through Certificates, when (a) Trust
Supplement No. 1 shall have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by
American and the Pass Through Trustee in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the Agreement, and (b) the Pass Through Certificates shall have
been duly executed, authenticated, issued and delivered by the Trustee and sold
as contemplated by each of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the
Prospectus Supplement, the Agreement and Trust Supplement No. 1, assuming that
the terms of the Pass Through Certificates are in compliance with then
applicable law, (i) the Agreement as supplemented by Trust Supplement No. 1
will constitute a valid and binding obligation of the Trustee enforceable
against the Trustee in accordance with its terms, and (ii) the Pass Through
Certificates will be validly issued and will be entitled to the benefits of the
Agreement and Trust Supplement No. 1.
3. The discussion in the Prospectus Supplement entitled "Certain
Connecticut and Massachusetts Taxes," insofar as it relates to statements of
law or legal conclusions, is correct in all material respects.

BINGHAM, DANA & GOULD
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an Exhibit to the
Registration Statement, to the use of our name in the second sentence of the
first paragraph under the caption "Certain Connecticut and Massachusetts Taxes"
in the Prospectus Supplement and to the reference to us under the caption
"Legal Opinions" in the Prospectus Supplement. In giving this consent, we do
not thereby admit that we are in the category of person whose consent is
required under Section 7 of the 1933 Act or the Rules and Regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

ARTICLE VII
Indemnification
Section 1. Nature of Indemnity. The corporation shall
indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party
to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the fact that he
is or was or has agreed to become a director or officer of the corporation, or
is
15
16
or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the corporation as a
director or officer, of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust
or other enterprise, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or
omitted in such capacity, and may indemnify any person who was or is a party or
is threatened to be made a party to such an action by reason of the fact that
he is or was or has agreed to become an employee or agent of the corporation,
or is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the corporation
as an employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if he acted in good faith and in a manner
he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; except that in the case
of an action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a
judgment in its favor (1) such indemnification shall be limited to expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in
the defense or settlement of such action or suit, and (2) no indemnification
shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person
shall have been adjudged to be liable to the
16
17
corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery
or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon
application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other
court shall deem proper.
The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment,
order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its
equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not
act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct
was unlawful.
Section 2. Successful Defense. To the extent that a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation has been successful on
the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred
to in Section 1 hereof or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he
shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.
Section 3. Determination That Indemnification Is Proper.
Any indemnification of a director or officer of the corporation under Section 1
hereof (unless ordered by a court)
17
18
shall be made by the corporation unless a determination is made that
indemnification of the director or officer is not proper in the circumstances
because he has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section
1 hereof. Any indemnification of an employee or agent of the corporation under
Section 1 hereof (unless ordered by a court) may be made by the corporation
upon a determination that indemnification of the employee or agent is proper in
the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set
forth in Section 1 hereof. Any such determination shall be made (1) by a
majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or
proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (2) if there are no such
directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a
written opinion, or (3) by the stockholders.
Section 4. Advance Payment of Expenses. Expenses
(including attorneys' fees) incurred by a director or officer in defending any
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding
shall be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such
action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of
the director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be
determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as
authorized in this Article. Such expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred
by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if
any, as
18
19
the board of directors deems appropriate. The board of directors may authorize
the corporation's counsel to represent a director, officer, employee or agent
in any action, suit or proceeding, whether or not the corporation is a party to
such action, suit or proceeding.
Section 5. Procedure for Indemnification of Directors or
Officers. Any indemnification of a director or officer of the corporation
under Sections 1 and 2, or advance of costs, charges and expenses of a director
or officer under Section 4 of this Article, shall be made promptly, and in any
event within 60 days, upon the written request of the director or officer. If
the corporation fails to respond within 60 days, then the request for
indemnification shall be deemed to be approved. The right to indemnification
or advances as granted by this Article shall be enforceable by the director or
officer in any court of competent jurisdiction if the corporation denies such
request, in whole or in part. Such person's costs and expenses incurred in
connection with successfully establishing his right to indemnification, in
whole or in part, in any such action shall also be indemnified by the
corporation. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action
brought to enforce a claim for the advance of costs, charges and expenses under
Section 4 of this Article where the required undertaking, if any, has been
received by the corporation) that the claimant has not met the standard of
conduct set forth in Section 1 of this Article, but the burden of
19
20
proving such defense shall be on the corporation. Neither the failure of the
corporation (including its board of directors, its independent legal counsel,
and its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of
such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances
because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 of
this Article, nor the fact that there has been an actual determination by the
corporation (including its board of directors, its independent legal counsel,
and its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of
conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the
claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.
Section 6. Survival; Preservation of Other Rights.
The foregoing indemnification provisions shall be deemed to be
a contract between the corporation and each director, officer, employee and
agent who serves in such capacity at any time while these provisions as well as
the relevant provisions of the Delaware Corporation Law are in effect and any
repeal or modification thereof shall not affect any right or obligation then
existing with respect to any state of facts then or previously existing or any
action, suit, or proceeding previously or thereafter brought or threatened
based in whole or in part upon any such state of facts. Such a "contract
right" may not be modified retroactively without the consent of such director,
officer, employee or agent.
20
21
The indemnification provided by this Article VII shall not be
deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled
under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or
otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in
another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person
who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to
the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
Section 7. Insurance. The corporation shall purchase
and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was or has agreed to
become a director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of the corporation as a director or officer of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability
asserted against him and incurred by him or on his behalf in any such capacity,
or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have
the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this
Article, provided that such insurance is available on acceptable terms, which
determination shall be made by a vote of a majority of the entire board of
directors.
Section 8. Savings Clause. If this Article or any
portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent
jurisdiction, then the corporation shall nevertheless
21
22
indemnify each director or officer and may indemnify each employee or agent of
the corporation as to costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative,
including an action by or in the right of the corporation, to the full extent
permitted by any applicable portion of this Article that shall not have been
invalidated and to the full extent permitted by applicable law.
