Each Class of Pass Through Certificates will represent interests in a separate trust (each, a "Pass Through Trust") established pursuant to the related Designated Agreement to fund the purchase of equipment notes (the "Equipment Notes") to be issued by the Company in connection with the financing of fifteen Aircraft. The Equipment Notes will be issued under fifteen separate Indenture and Security Agreements between State Street Bank and Trust Company of Connecticut, National Association ("State Street"), as Loan Trustee (the "Loan Trustee"), and the Company (each, including any Supplements thereto, an "Indenture" and, collectively, the "Indentures"). Certain amounts of interest payable with respect to the Pass Through Certificates will be entitled to the benefits of separate liquidity facilities. Bayerische Landesbank Girozentrale (the "Liquidity Provider") will enter into a separate revolving credit agreement with respect to each Pass Through Trust (each, a "Liquidity Facility"), to be dated as of the date on which the Closing Time (as defined below) occurs, for the benefit of the
3 2 holders of the respective Class of Pass Through Certificates. The Liquidity Provider and the holders of the Offered Certificates will be entitled to the benefits of an Intercreditor Agreement to be dated as of the date on which the Closing Time occurs (the "Intercreditor Agreement") among State Street, as Trustee of each Pass Through Trust, the Liquidity Provider and State Street, as Subordination Agent (the "Subordination Agent"). As used herein, unless the context otherwise requires, the term "Underwriters" shall mean firms named as Underwriters in Schedule I and the term "you" shall mean Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation and Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated ("Morgan Stanley"). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings specified in or pursuant to the Designated Agreements or the Intercreditor Agreement; provided that as used in this Agreement, the term "Operative Documents" shall mean the Intercreditor Agreement, the Liquidity Facilities, the Designated Agreements, the Participation Agreements and the Indentures. The Company has prepared and filed on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") a registration statement (File No. 333-74937) (as amended at the date hereof, including the exhibits thereto and the documents incorporated by reference therein, the "Registration Statement") relating to certain pass through certificates (including the Offered Certificates) and the offering thereof from time to time in accordance with Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Registration Statement includes a basic prospectus referred to below which, as supplemented from time to time, will be used in connection with all offerings of such pass through certificates. As provided in Section 3(a), a prospectus supplement reflecting the terms of the Offered Certificates, the terms of the offering thereof and the other matters set forth therein has been prepared and will be filed together with the basic prospectus referred to below pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act (such prospectus supplement, in the form first filed on or after the date hereof pursuant to Rule 424, is herein referred to as the "Prospectus Supplement"). The basic prospectus included in the Registration Statement and relating to all offerings of pass through certificates under the Registration Statement, as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, is herein called the "Prospectus", except that, if such basic prospectus is amended on or prior to the date on which the Prospectus Supplement is first filed pursuant to Rule 424, the term "Prospectus" shall refer to such basic prospectus as so amended and as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, in either case including the documents filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), that are incorporated by reference therein. The term "preliminary prospectus" means a preliminary prospectus supplement specifically relating to the Offered Certificates, together with the basic prospectus and including the documents filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference therein. Any reference herein to the terms "amendment" or "supplement" with
4 3 respect to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any preliminary prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any documents filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act after the date hereof, the date the Prospectus is filed with the Commission, or the date of such preliminary prospectus, as the case may be, and incorporated therein by reference pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act. 1.

The Company covenants with each Underwriter as follows: (a) Immediately following the execution of this Agreement, the Company will prepare a Prospectus Supplement that complies with the Securities Act and the Securities Act Regulations and which sets forth the principal amount of the Offered Certificates and their terms not otherwise specified in the basic prospectus relating to all offerings of pass through certificates under the Registration Statement, the name of each Underwriter participating in the offering and the principal amount of the Offered Certificates that each severally has agreed to purchase, the name of each Underwriter, if any, acting as representative of the Underwriters in connection with the offering, the price at which the Offered Certificates are to be purchased by the Underwriters from the Trustee, any initial public offering price, any selling concession and reallowance, and such other information as you and the Company deem appropriate in connection with the offering of the Offered Certificates. The Company will promptly transmit copies of the Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus to the Commission for filing pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act and will furnish to the Underwriters as many copies of the Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus as you shall reasonably request. (b) During the period when a prospectus relating to the Offered Certificates is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, the Company will promptly advise you of (i) the effectiveness of any amendment to the Registration Statement, (ii) the transmittal to the Commission for filing of any supplement to the Prospectus or any document that would as a result thereof be incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, (iii) any request by the Commission for any amendment of the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or for any additional information relating thereto or to any document incorporated by reference therein, (iv) the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose, and (v) the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Offered Certificates for sale in any jurisdiction or the institution or
9 8 threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. The Company will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof. (c) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Offered Certificates is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it shall be necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with the Securities Act or the Securities Act Regulations, the Company promptly will prepare and file with the Commission, subject to paragraph (d) of this Section 3, an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission or an amendment or supplement which will effect such compliance. Neither your consent to, nor the Underwriters' delivery of, any such amendment or supplement shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions set forth in Section 4. (d) At any time when a prospectus relating to the Offered Certificates is required to be delivered under the Securities Act or the Securities Act Regulations, the Company will give you notice of its intention to file any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus, whether pursuant to the Exchange Act, the Securities Act or otherwise, will furnish you with copies of any such amendment or supplement or other documents proposed to be filed within a reasonable time in advance of filing, and will not file any such amendment or supplement or other documents in a form to which you shall reasonably object. (e) The Company has furnished or will furnish to you and your counsel, without charge, conformed copies of the Registration Statement as originally filed and of all amendments thereto, whether filed before or after such Registration Statement originally became effective (including exhibits thereto and the documents incorporated therein by reference) and, so long as delivery of a prospectus by an underwriter or dealer may be required by the Securities Act, as many copies of each preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus and any amendments thereof and supplements thereto as you may reasonably request. (f) The Company will take such actions as you may request to qualify the Offered Certificates for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as you may reasonably request and will maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of such Offered Certificates. The Company, however, shall not be obligated to qualify as a foreign corporation or file any general consent to service of
10 9 process under the laws of any such jurisdiction or subject itself to taxation as doing business in any such jurisdiction. (g) The Company, during the period when a prospectus relating to the Offered Certificates is required to be delivered under the Securities Act and the Securities Act Regulations, will file promptly all documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 14 of the Exchange Act. (h) The Company will make generally available to its security holders, in each case as soon as practicable, but not later than 45 days after the close of the period covered thereby (90 days in case the period covered corresponds to a fiscal year of the Company), earnings statements of the Company, which will comply as to form with the provisions of Rule 158 under the Securities Act. (i) Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Time, the Company will not, without your prior consent, offer, sell or enter into any agreement to sell any public debt securities registered under the Securities Act (other than the Offered Certificates) or any debt securities which may be sold in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act and which are marketed through the use of a disclosure document containing substantially the same information as a prospectus for similar debt securities registered under the Securities Act; provided, however, that it is understood and agreed that the restrictions of this paragraph shall not apply to the approximately $210 million Dallas-Forth Worth International Airport Facility Improvement Corporation American Airlines, Inc. Revenue Bonds, Series 1999, currently scheduled to close in October 1999, and related transactions. (j) If and to the extent specified in Schedule II, the Company will promptly after the date hereof, in the event it has not already done so, file an application for the listing of the Offered Certificates on the securities exchange specified in said Schedule II and will use its best efforts to cause such Offered Certificates to be duly authorized for listing thereon, subject to official notice of issuance, and to be registered under the Exchange Act. 4. Conditions to the Obligations of the Underwriters.

15 14 and the sale of the Offered Certificates hereunder as counsel for the Underwriters may reasonably request. Such counsel shall also state that no facts have come to the attention of such counsel which have caused such counsel to believe (A) that the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto, on the original effective date thereof, on the effective date of any post-effective amendment thereto, or on the date of the filing by the Company of its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K after the filing of the Registration Statement (except, in each case, for the financial statements and other financial and statistical data included or incorporated by reference therein, and except for the Statement of Eligibility on Form T-1 of the Trustee under the Basic Agreement, as to which such counsel need express no belief), contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (B) that the Prospectus at the time the Prospectus Supplement was issued or the Prospectus, together with any amendment or supplement thereto, at the time any such amended or supplemental Prospectus was issued or at the Closing Time (except, in each case, for the financial statements and other financial and statistical data included or incorporated by reference therein, as to which such counsel need express no belief), contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. In giving such opinion, such counsel may state that such opinion is limited to the laws of the States of New York and Texas, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the Federal laws of the United States, except that such counsel expresses no opinion as to the securities laws of any state. In rendering the opinions set forth above, such counsel may rely upon certificates of officers of the Company and of public officials as to matters of fact. (2) An opinion, dated the Closing Time, of Debevoise & Plimpton, as counsel for the Company, in form reasonably satisfactory to you and your counsel, to the effect that: (i) The Offered Certificates have been duly authorized and validly executed, issued and delivered by the Trustee pursuant to the related Designated Agreements and constitute valid and binding obligations of the Trustee enforceable against the Trustee in accordance with their terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general principles of equity; the holders of the Offered Certificates are entitled to the benefits of the related Designated Agreements;
16 15 (ii) The statements in the Registration Statement and Prospectus under the headings "Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences" and "ERISA Considerations", to the extent that they constitute matters of law or legal conclusions with respect thereto, have been prepared or reviewed by such counsel and are correct in all material respects; (iii) The Pass Through Trusts should not be classified as associations (or as publicly traded partnerships) taxable as corporations for federal income tax purposes, but rather, based on an interpretation of analogous authorities under existing law, each Pass Through Trust should be classified as a grantor trust under subpart E, Part I of Subchapter J of Chapter 1 of subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and each of the Certificate Owners should be treated as the owner of a pro rata undivided interest in each of the related Equipment Notes and any other property held in the related Pass Through Trust; (iv) Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code ("Section 1110") conforms in all material respects to the description thereof contained in "Description of the Equipment Notes - Remedies" in the Prospectus. Such counsel notes that during 1998, the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado issued opinions arising from the bankruptcy proceedings of Western Pacific Airlines, Inc. relating to Section 1110. The decisions held that, once an airline debtor reaffirms its obligations and cures its defaults under an aircraft lease within the prescribed period in accordance with Section 1110, the lessor under such lease is not entitled to repossess the aircraft under Section 1110 if the airline subsequently defaults under such lease. In the opinion of such counsel, such District Court holdings are erroneous because they are inconsistent with the overriding purpose of Section 1110 to protect creditors secured by qualifying aircraft against being stayed from exercising their rights while defaults under their financing agreements remain uncured; (v) The Trusts are not required to be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; and (vi) Assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Trustee of the Designated Agreements and the Intercreditor Agreement and by the Subordination Agent of the Intercreditor Agreement and the Liquidity Facilities, each such agreement constitutes the valid and binding obligation of each respective party, enforceable in accordance
17 16 with its terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general principles of equity. The opinions of such counsel expressed in the immediately preceding clause (vi) shall be limited to the laws of the State of New York governing the enforceability of contracts as such and in giving such opinion, such counsel may rely as to certain matters acceptable to you upon the opinions referred to in Section 4(b)(1) and Section 4(b)(3) hereof, in which case the opinion shall state that such counsel believes that it and the Underwriters are entitled to so rely. In rendering the opinions set forth above, such counsel may rely upon certificates of officers of the Company and of public officials as to matters of fact. (3) An opinion, dated the Closing Time, of Bingham Dana LLP, counsel for State Street, individually, as Subordination Agent, Trustee and Loan Trustee, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to you and your counsel and substantially to the effect set forth in Exhibit A hereto. (4) An opinion, dated the Closing Time, from (i) Winthrop, Stimson, Putnam & Roberts, counsel for the Liquidity Provider, in form and substance satisfactory to you and your counsel and substantially to the effect set forth in Exhibit B-1 hereto, and (ii) Schwarz Kurtze Schniewind Kelwing Wicke, German counsel for the Liquidity Provider, in form and substance satisfactory to you and your counsel and substantially to the effect set forth in Exhibit B-2 hereto. (5) An opinion, dated the Closing Time, from Shearman & Sterling, counsel for the Underwriters, to the effect that the opinions delivered pursuant to subsections (b)(1) through (b)(4) of this Section 4 appear on their face to be appropriately responsive to the requirements of this Agreement except, specifying the same, to the extent waived by you and with respect to the issuance and sale of the Offered Certificates, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and other related matters as you may reasonably require. (c) (1) At the Closing Time, there shall not have been, since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, and you shall have received a certificate of the President, an Executive Vice President, a Senior Vice President or a Vice President of the Company, dated as of such Closing Time, to the effect that there
18 17 has been no such material adverse change and to the effect that the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section 1 hereof are true and correct with the same force and effect as though made at such Closing Time. (2) Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Time, neither Moody's Investors Service, Inc. nor Standard & Poor's Ratings Services shall have downgraded its rating accorded to any of the Company's taxable debt securities with maturities greater than one year. (d) You shall have received the letter specified in Schedule III at the Closing Time. (e) At the Closing Time, each of the Equipment Notes and Operative Documents shall have been executed and delivered by each party thereto; the representations and warranties of the Company contained in the Operative Agreements shall be accurate as of the Closing Time and you shall have received a certificate of the President, an Executive Vice President, a Senior Vice President or a Vice President of the Company, dated as of the Closing Time, to such effect. (f) The Company shall have furnished to you and your counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to them, such other documents, certificates and opinions as such counsel may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such counsel to pass upon the matters referred to in subsection (b)(5) of this Section 4 and in order to evidence the accuracy and completeness of any of the representations, warranties or statements, the performance of any covenant by the Company theretofore to be performed, or the compliance with any of the conditions herein contained. (g) If the Offered Certificates are specified in Schedule II as securities to be listed on a securities exchange, the Offered Certificates shall have been duly authorized for listing by the securities exchange specified in said Schedule II, subject only to official notice of issuance. (h) Each of the Appraisers shall have furnished to the Underwriters a letter from such Appraiser, addressed to the Company and dated the Closing Time, confirming that such Appraiser and each of its directors and officers (i) is not an affiliate of the Company or any of its affiliates, (ii) does not have any substantial interest, direct or indirect, in the Company or any of its affiliates and (iii) is not connected with the Company or any of its affiliates as an officer, employee, promoter, underwriter, trustee, partner, director or person performing similar functions.
19 18 (i) At the Closing Time, the Offered Certificates shall be rated "AAA", in the case of the Offered Certificates of the Class A-1 Trust, "AAA", in the case of the Offered Certificates of the Class A-2 Trust, "AA-", in the case of the Offered Certificates of the Class B Trust and "A", in the case of the Offered Certificates of the Class C Trust, by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services; and "Aa1", in the case of the Offered Certificates of the Class A-1 Trust, "Aa1", in the case of the Offered Certificates of the Class A-2 Trust, "Aa3", in the case of the Offered Certificates of the Class B Trust and "A1", in the case of the Offered Certificates of the Class C Trust, by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. (j) At the Closing Time, all conditions precedent specified in each Participation Agreement with respect to the funding of the related Equipment Notes, shall have been satisfied; the representations and warranties of the Company, the Pass Through Trustee, the Subordination Agent and the Loan Trustee contained in each of the Participation Agreements shall be accurate as of the Closing Time (except to the extent that they relate solely to an earlier date in which case they shall be accurate as of such earlier date) and you shall have received certificates of the Company and appropriate officers of the Subordination Agent, Pass Through Trustees and Loan Trustees, dated as of the Closing Time, to such effect; and you shall have received a copy of each opinion required to be delivered under each of the Participation Agreements dated as of the Closing Time, and addressed to you, and of such other documents furnished in connection with the fulfillment of such conditions as you may reasonably request. All such opinions, certificates, letters and documents shall be deemed to be in compliance with the provisions hereof only if they are in all respects satisfactory to you and your counsel. If any condition specified in this Section shall not have been fulfilled when and as required to be fulfilled, other than by reason of any default by any Underwriter, such failure to fulfill a condition may be waived by you, or this Agreement may be terminated by you by notice to the Company at any time at or prior to the Closing Time, and such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party, except as provided in Sections 5, 6 and 8 hereof, which provisions shall remain in effect notwithstanding such termination. 5. Payment of Expenses. The Company will pay or cause to be paid all expenses incident to the performance of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement, including (i) expenses relating to the preparation, printing, filing and distribution of any preliminary prospectus supplements, the Prospectus, the Registration Statement and any amendments thereof or supplements thereto, (ii) expenses relating to the preparation, printing and distribution of any agreement among underwriters, this Agreement, the Offered
20 19 Certificates, the Equipment Notes, the Operative Documents, any Underwriter's Questionnaire, the Blue Sky Survey and any Legal Investment Survey by the Underwriter's counsel, (iii) expenses relating to the issuance and delivery of the Offered Certificates to the Underwriters, (iv) the fees and disbursements of the Company's counsel and accountants, (v) expenses of qualifying the Offered Certificates under state securities laws in accordance with Section 3(f), including filing fees and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters in connection therewith and in connection with the Blue Sky Survey and any Legal Investment Survey, (vi) the fees and expenses of the Trustee, the Subordination Agent, the Loan Trustees and the Liquidity Provider and the fees and disbursements of their respective counsel, (vii) any fees charged by rating agencies for rating the Offered Certificates, (viii) certain fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters as heretofore agreed, and (ix) the fees and expenses, if any, incurred in connection with the listing of the Offered Certificates on any securities exchange. The Company will also cause to be paid all expenses incident to the performance of its obligations under the Operative Documents and each of the other agreements and instruments referred to therein. If this Agreement is terminated by you in accordance with the provisions of Section 4 or Section 9(i) hereof, the Company shall reimburse the Underwriters for all of their out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters, incurred by them in connection with the offering contemplated by this Agreement. 6. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter and each person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in any preliminary prospectus relating to the Offered Certificates or in the Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that (i) the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Underwriter through either of you
21 20 specifically for use in connection with the preparation thereof or made in the part of the Registration Statement constituting the Statement of Eligibility under the Trust Indenture Act of the Trustee on Form T-1, (ii) the foregoing indemnity agreement, with respect to any preliminary prospectus, shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter (or any person controlling such Underwriter) as to whom it shall be established did not send or deliver to the person asserting any such loss, claim, damage or liability and who purchased Offered Certificates which are the subject thereof a copy of the Prospectus as amended or supplemented (exclusive of material incorporated by reference) at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such Offered Certificates in any case where such delivery is required by the Securities Act, and the untrue statement or omission of a material fact contained in such preliminary prospectus was corrected in the Prospectus as amended or supplemented and the Company had previously furnished copies thereof to such Underwriter, and (iii) the Company will not be liable for any loss, liability or expense of any settlement of any pending or threatened litigation or any pending or threatened governmental agency investigation or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have. (b) Each Underwriter severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses described in the indemnity contained in Section 6(a), but only with respect to untrue statements or alleged untrue statements or omissions or alleged omissions made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Underwriter through either of you specifically for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto). This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any Underwriter may otherwise have. (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 6, notify the indemnifying party or parties in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party or parties will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 6. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party or parties of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party or parties will be entitled to participate therein, and to the extent that it may elect, by written notice delivered to such indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that
22 21 if, in the reasonable judgment of such indemnified party, a conflict of interest exists where it is advisable for such indemnified party to be represented by separate counsel, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action, in which event the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the indemnifying party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party or parties to such indemnified party of the election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party or parties will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 6 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party or parties shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one such separate counsel representing the indemnified parties under subparagraph (a) of this Section 6 who are parties to such action), (ii) the indemnifying party or parties shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the indemnifying party or parties have authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party or parties; and except that, if clause (i) or (iii) is applicable, such liability shall be only in respect of the counsel referred to in such clause (i) or (iii). It is understood that all such fees and expenses of counsel for the indemnified party for which the indemnifying party is liable shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. (d) If the indemnification provided for in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 6 is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Offered Certificates pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the
23 22 other hand in connection with the offering of the Offered Certificates pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the offering of the Offered Certificates pursuant to this Agreement (net of compensation paid to the Underwriters but before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth on the cover of the Prospectus, bears to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Offered Certificates as set forth on such cover. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Offered Certificates underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section, each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company. The Underwriters' respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section are several in proportion to the principal amount of Offered Certificates set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule I hereto and not joint. 7. Default. If any one or more Underwriters shall fail at the Closing Time to purchase and pay for any of the Offered Certificates agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective
24 23 proportions which the aggregate principal amount of Offered Certificates specified to be purchased by them in Schedule I bears to the aggregate principal amount of Offered Certificates to be purchased by all the remaining Underwriters) the Offered Certificates which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate principal amount of Offered Certificates that the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Offered Certificates to be purchased pursuant to this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right, but not the obligation within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements to purchase all, but not less than all, of such Offered Certificates, and if such nondefaulting Underwriters do not complete such arrangements within such 24 hour period, then this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriters or the Company. In the event of any such termination, the provisions of Sections 5, 6 and 8 shall remain in effect. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 7 that does not result in a termination of this Agreement, the Closing Time shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding seven days, as the nondefaulting Underwriters or the Company shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the Company and to any nondefaulting Underwriters for damages occasioned by its default hereunder. 8. Representations, Warranties, Indemnities and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All representations, warranties, indemnities and agreements contained in this Agreement, or contained in certificates of officers of the Company submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any Underwriter or any controlling person of either and shall survive delivery of any Offered Certificates to the Underwriters. 9. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated immediately upon notice from you to the Company at any time at or prior to the Closing Time (i) if there has been, since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) if there has occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on the financial markets is such as to make it, in your judgment, impracticable to market the Offered Certificates or enforce contracts for the sale of the Offered Certificates, or (iii) if trading in the securities of the Company has been suspended by the Commission or a national securities exchange, or if trading generally on the New York Stock Exchange has been suspended, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for securities have been required, by said exchange or by order of the Commission or any other
25 24 governmental authority, or if a banking moratorium has been declared by either Federal or New York authorities. In the event of any such termination, the provisions of Sections 5, 6 and 8 shall remain in effect. 10. Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and effective only upon receipt, and, if sent to the Underwriters, will be mailed or transmitted by any standard form of telecommunication to the Underwriters as set forth in Schedule I or, if sent to the Company, will be mailed or transmitted by any standard form of telecommunication to it at P.O. Box 619616, Dallas/Fort Worth Airport, Texas 75261-9616, attention of the Treasurer. 11. Parties. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Underwriters and the Company and their respective successors. Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person, firm or corporation, other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and the controlling persons and officers and directors referred to in Section 6 and their successors, heirs and legal representatives, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained. This Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof are intended to be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties and their respective successors and said controlling persons and officers and directors and their successors, heirs and legal representatives, and for the benefit of no other person, firm or corporation. No purchaser of Offered Certificates from any Underwriter shall be deemed to be a successor by reason merely of such purchase.
26 25 12. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 13. Counterparts.

30 SCHEDULE III to Underwriting Agreement Dated: AMERICAN AIRLINES, INC. Matters to be covered by Letter or Letters of Independent Auditors Ernst & Young shall have furnished to you the following letter, dated as of the Closing Time, in form and substance satisfactory to you, to the effect that: (i) They are independent certified public accountants with respect to the Company and AMR Corporation within the meaning of the Securities Act and the applicable published rules and regulations thereunder, and the answer to Item 10 of the Registration Statement insofar as it relates to them is none; (ii) In their opinion, the audited consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the related published rules and regulations thereunder; (iii) On the basis of performing the procedures specified by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for a review of interim financial information as described in SAS No. 71, "Interim Financial Information", on the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company contained in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 1999, a reading of the latest unaudited consolidated financial statements made available by the Company, a reading of the minutes of the Board of Directors of the Company and any committees thereof and of the consent of the sole stockholder of the Company, and a reading of the minutes of the Board of Directors of AMR Corporation and any committees thereof and of the stockholders of AMR Corporation, since the date of the latest audited consolidated financial statements incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, inquiries of officials of the Company responsible for financial and accounting matters and such other inquiries and procedures as may be specified in such
31 2 letter, which do not constitute an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and which would not necessarily reveal matters of significance with respect to the comments set forth in such letter, nothing came to their attention that caused them to believe that: (A) the unaudited consolidated financial statements incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement do not comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder as they apply to Form 10-Q or that any material modifications should be made to such unaudited consolidated financial statements for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles; (B) as of August 31, 1999, and as of a specified date not more than five calendar days prior to the date of delivery of such letter, there has been any change in the consolidated capital stock or consolidated long-term debt of the Company, or any decrease in consolidated net current assets or consolidated stockholder's equity of the Company or other items specified by you, in each case as compared with amounts shown in the latest consolidated balance sheet incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, except in each case for changes or decreases which the Registration Statement discloses have occurred or may occur or which are described in such letter; and (C) for the period July 1, 1999 to August 31, 1999, and for the period from the date of the latest consolidated financial statements of the Company incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement to a specified date not more than five calendar days prior to the date of delivery of such letter, there were any decreases in consolidated total operating revenues, consolidated operating income or consolidated net earnings of the Company, in each case as compared with the comparable period of the preceding year and with any other period of corresponding length reasonably specified by you, except in each case for decreases which the Registration Statement discloses have occurred or may occur or which are described in such letter; and (iv) They have performed certain procedures specified in their letter for the purpose of determining whether certain financial information with respect to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries appearing or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and specified in said letter agrees with indicated amounts in the applicable financial statements or accounting records of the Company and its subsidiaries or affiliates.
32 3 EXHIBIT B-1 to Underwriting Agreement Form of Opinion of Winthrop, Stimson, Putnam & Roberts 1. The Revolving Credit Agreements and the Intercreditor Agreement (collectively, the "Liquidity Documents") constitute the valid and legally binding agreements of the parties thereto, enforceable against each party thereto in accordance with their respective terms. 2. The execution, delivery and performance by Bayerische Landesbank Girozentrale ("Bayerische") of the Liquidity Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated therein do not violate any banking law, or any governmental rule or regulation relating thereto, of the United States of America or the State of New York. 3. No authorization, consent, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any banking authority or regulatory body of the United States of America or the State of New York is required for the due execution, delivery and performance by Bayerische of the Liquidity Documents, other than administrative and ministerial filings which Bayerische is obligated to make in the ordinary course of its business (which filings we have assumed have been and will continue to be made in a timely manner). Our opinion is subject to the following qualifications and limitations: (a) Our opinion in paragraph 1 above is subject to (i) the effect of applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance and other laws affecting creditors' rights generally, (ii) general equitable principles, (iii) requirements of reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, and (iv) additionally, in the case of indemnities and exculpatory provisions (including certain waivers) in the Liquidity Documents, the effect of public policy. (b) Our opinion is limited to the law of the State of New York and the federal law of the United States of America. The above opinions may be subject to such assumptions and qualifications as may be acceptable to the Underwriters.
33 EXHIBIT B-2 to Underwriting Agreement Form of Opinion of Schwarz Kurtze Schniewind Kelwing Wicke 1. Bayerische Landesbank Girozentrale ("Bayerische") is a German public law banking institution (Anstalt des Offentlichen Rechts) duly established and validly existing under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. 2. Bayerische has the power to enter into the Revolving Credit Agreements and the Intercreditor Agreement (collectively, the "Liquidity Documents") which are duly executed on behalf of Bayerische when signed by the two officers of Bayerische, Mr. Bernd Lonner and Mr. Rudiger Fern. 3. The obligations of Bayerische under the Liquidity Documents are legal, valid, binding and enforceable against Bayerische in accordance with their respective terms, except to the extent that enforcement may be limited by equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, re-organization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally. 4. It is not necessary that any of the Liquidity Documents be filed, recorded or enrolled with any public office, governmental authority or court in the Federal Republic of Germany, or that any German stamp or similar tax be paid in order to ensure the legality or validity in the Federal Republic of Germany. 5. No consent or approval of any governmental or public bodies or authorities or courts of the Federal Republic of Germany is required by Bayerische in connection with the execution and delivery of the Liquidity Documents and the performance by Bayerische of its obligations under the Liquidity Documents. 6. The execution, delivery and performance of the Liquidity Documents does not violate any law of the Federal Republic of Germany applicable to Bayerische. 7. The choice of the law of the State of New York to govern the obligations of the parties under the Liquidity Documents will be upheld as a valid choice of law in any action brought in connection with the Liquidity Documents in the courts of Germany against Bayerische and the submission by Bayerische to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York sitting in the City of New York and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York is binding on it.
34 2 8. Any final and conclusive judgment rendered by the Supreme Court of the State of New York or by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for a definite sum for the recovery of amounts due and unpaid by Bayerische under the Revolving Credit Agreements will be enforceable against Bayerische in the Federal Republic of Germany subject to the applicable rules for obtaining a necessary executory decision (action upon the foreign judgment) issued by a competent German court. 9. The payment obligations of Bayerische under the Revolving Credit Agreements rank pari passu with its obligations to pay any other unsecured and unprivileged obligations of Bayerische for borrowed money that are not preferred by contractual stipulations or by law or in proceedings under the German Composition Code (Vergleichsordnung) or Bankruptcy Code (Konkursordnung) or Insolvency Code (Insolvenzordnung) or by similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally. The above opinions may be subject to such assumptions and qualifications as may be acceptable to the Underwriters.

Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Basic Agreement or, in respect of the Certificates of any series, this Agreement, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument. Section 1.04. Directions of Certificate Holders.

Such instrument or instruments (and the action 12
19 embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Certificateholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent or proxy shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Agreement and conclusive in favor of the Trustee, the Company and the related Loan Trustee, if made in the manner provided in this Section 1.04. (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the certificate of any notary public or other officer of any jurisdiction authorized to take acknowledgments of deeds or administer oaths that the Person executing such instrument acknowledged to him the execution thereof, or by an affidavit of a witness to such execution sworn to before any such notary or such other officer, and where such execution is by an officer of a corporation or association or a member of a partnership, on behalf of such corporation, association or partnership, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other reasonable manner which the Trustee deems sufficient. (c) In determining whether the Certificateholders of the requisite Fractional Undivided Interests of Certificates of any series Outstanding have given any Direction under this Agreement, Certificates owned by the Company, any related Owner Trustee, any related Owner Participant or any Affiliate of any such Person shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for purposes of any such determination. In determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such Direction, only Certificates which the Trustee knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if any such Person owns 100% of the Certificates of any series Outstanding, such Certificates shall not be so disregarded, and (ii) if any amount of Certificates of any series owned by any such Person have been pledged in good faith, such Certificates shall not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee's right so to act with respect to such Certificates and that the pledgee is not the Company, any related Owner Trustee, any related Owner Participant or any Affiliate of any such Person. (d) The Company may, at its option, by delivery of an Officer's Certificate to the Trustee, set a record date to determine the Certificateholders in respect of the Certificates of any series entitled to give any Direction. Notwithstanding Section 316(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, such record date shall be the record date specified in such Officer's Certificate, which shall be a date not more than 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Certificateholders of the applicable series in connection therewith. If such a record date is fixed, such Direction may be given before or after such record date, but only the Certificateholders of record of the applicable series at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Certificateholders for the purposes of determining whether Certificateholders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Certificates of such series have authorized or agreed or consented to such Direction, and for that purpose the Outstanding Certificates of such series shall be computed as of such record date; provided, however, that no such Direction by the Certificateholders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement not later than one year after such 13
20 record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be deemed cancelled and of no effect). (e) Any Direction by the Holder of any Certificate shall bind the Holder of every Certificate issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, whether or not notation of such Direction is made upon such Certificate. (f) Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.04(c), Certificates of any series owned by or pledged to any Person shall have an equal and proportionate benefit under the provisions of this Agreement, without preference, priority or distinction as among all of the Certificates of such series. (g) The Company and the Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by or at a meeting of Certificateholders.

The portion of the Escrowed Funds so deposited with respect to any particular Postponed Notes shall be invested (a) by the Trustee at the direction and risk of, and for the benefit of, the Responsible Party in Specified Investments or (b) if provided in the Trust Supplement relating to such series of Certificates and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, in debt instruments of the Company, in each case (i) maturing no later than any scheduled Transfer Date relating to such Postponed Notes, or (ii) if no such Transfer Date has been scheduled, maturing on the next Business Day, or (iii) if subsequent to the giving of the applicable Postponement Notice the Company has given notice to the Trustee that such Postponed Notes will not be issued, maturing on the next applicable Special Distribution Date, if such investments are reasonably available for purchase.

Subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, any earnings on Specified Investments received from time to time by the Trustee shall be promptly distributed to the Responsible Party. The Responsible Party shall pay to the Trustee for deposit to the relevant Escrow Account an amount equal to any net losses on any Specified Investments made at its direction and risk as incurred.

Each Trust shall be constituted solely for the purpose of making the investment in the Equipment Notes provided for in the related Trust Supplement, and, except as set forth herein or in such related Trust Supplement, the Trustee shall not be authorized or empowered to acquire any other investments or engage in any other activities. Except to the extent otherwise provided in the applicable Trust Supplement, the Trustee shall not be authorized or empowered to do anything that would cause such Trust to fail to qualify as a "grantor trust" for federal income tax purposes (including as subject to this restriction, acquiring any Aircraft (as defined in the related Indentures) by bidding such Equipment Notes or otherwise, or taking any action with respect to any such Aircraft once acquired). ARTICLE III THE CERTIFICATES Section 3.01. Form, Denomination and Execution of Certificates. Except to the extent otherwise specified in the applicable Trust Supplement, the Certificates of each series shall be issued in fully registered form without coupons and shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, with such omissions, variations and insertions as are permitted by this Agreement, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply with any applicable laws, rules, regulations or the rules of any securities exchange on which such Certificates may be listed or to conform to any usage in respect thereof, or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the Trustee or the officers executing such Certificates, as evidenced by the Trustee's or such officers' execution of the Certificates. Except as provided in Section 3.05, the definitive Certificates of such series shall be typed, printed, lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of these methods or may be 19
26 produced in any other manner permitted by the rules of any securities exchange on which the Certificates may be listed, all as determined by the officers executing such Certificates, as evidenced by their execution of such Certificates. Except as otherwise provided in the related Trust Supplement, the Certificates of each series shall be issued in minimum denominations of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof except that one Certificate of such series may be issued in a different denomination. The Certificates of such series shall be executed on behalf of the Trustee by manual or facsimile signature of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee. Certificates of any series bearing the manual or facsimile signature of an individual who was, at the time when such signature was affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trustee shall be valid and binding obligations of the Trustee, notwithstanding that such individual has ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such office at the date of such Certificates. Section 3.02. Authentication of Certificates. (a) Except to the extent otherwise specified in the applicable Trust Supplement, on the Issuance Date, the Trustee shall duly execute, authenticate and deliver Certificates of each series in authorized denominations equaling in the aggregate the aggregate face amount of the Equipment Notes that may be purchased by the Trustee pursuant to the related Note Purchase Agreements, and evidencing the entire ownership of the related Trust. Thereafter, the Trustee shall duly execute, authenticate and deliver the Certificates of such series as herein provided. (b) No Certificate of any series shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate of authentication upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates of any series shall be dated the date of their authentication. Section 3.03. Temporary Certificates. Until definitive Certificates are ready for delivery, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver temporary Certificates of each series. Temporary Certificates of each series shall be substantially in the form of definitive Certificates of such series but may have insertions, substitutions, omissions and other variations determined to be appropriate by the officers executing the temporary Certificates of such series, as evidenced by their execution of such temporary Certificates. If temporary Certificates of any series are issued, the Trustee will cause definitive Certificates of such series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Certificates of such series, the temporary Certificates shall be exchangeable for definitive Certificates upon surrender of such temporary Certificates at the Corporate Trust Office or the office or agency of the Trustee designated for such purpose pursuant to Section 7.12, without charge to the Certificateholder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Certificates, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like face amount of definitive Certificates of like series, in authorized denominations and of a like Fractional 20
27 Undivided Interest. Until so exchanged, such temporary Certificates shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as definitive Certificates of such series. Section 3.04. Transfer and Exchange. The Trustee shall cause to be kept at the office or agency to be maintained by it in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.12 a register (the "Register") for each series of Certificates in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates of such series and of transfers and exchanges of such Certificates as herein provided. The Trustee shall initially be the registrar (the "Registrar") for the purpose of registering such Certificates of each series and transfers and exchanges of such Certificates as herein provided. All Certificates issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates of any series shall be valid obligations of the applicable Trust, evidencing the same interest therein, and entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement, as the Certificates of such series surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office or such other office or agency, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of like series, in authorized denominations of a like aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest. At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of like series, in authorized denominations and of a like aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest, upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver the Certificates that the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Registrar duly executed by the Certificateholder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing. No service charge shall be made to a Certificateholder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Trustee shall require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates. All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled and subsequently destroyed by the Trustee. Section 3.05. Book-Entry and Definitive Certificates. (a) Except for one Certificate of each series that may be issued in a denomination of other than an even multiple of $1,000, the Certificates of any series may be issued at the option of the Company in the form of one or more typewritten Certificates representing the Book-Entry Certificates of such series, to be delivered to The Depository Trust Company, the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Company. In such case, the Certificates of such series delivered to The Depository Trust Company shall initially be registered on the Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency, 21
28 and no Certificate Owner will receive a definitive certificate representing such Certificate Owner's interest in the Certificates of such series, except as provided in Subsection (d) below. As to the Certificates of any such series (other than the one Certificate or such series issued in a denomination of other than an even multiple of $1,000), unless and until definitive, fully registered Certificates (the "Definitive Certificates") have been issued pursuant to Subsection (d) below: (1) the provisions of this Section 3.05 shall be in full force and effect; (2) the Company, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and the Trustee may deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes (including the making of distributions on the Certificates); (3) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 3.05 conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement (other than the provisions of any Trust Supplement expressly amending this Section 3.05 as permitted by this Basic Agreement), the provisions of this Section 3.05 shall control; (4) the rights of Certificate Owners shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency Participants; and until Definitive Certificates are issued pursuant to Subsection (d) below, the Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit distributions of principal, interest and premium, if any, on the Certificates to such Clearing Agency Participants; (5) such Certificates of such series may be transferred in whole, but not in part, and in the manner provided in Section 3.04, by the Clearing Agency holding such Certificates to a nominee of such Clearing Agency, or by such Clearing Agency to a successor Clearing Agency that has been selected or approved by the Company or to a nominee of such successor Clearing Agency; and (6) whenever this Agreement requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Certificateholders of such series holding Certificates of such series evidencing a specified percentage of the Fractional Undivided Interests in the related Trust, the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect from Clearing Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in Certificates of such series and has delivered such instructions to the Trustee. Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall have any obligation to determine whether the Clearing Agency has in fact received any such instructions. 22
29 (b) Whenever notice or other communication to the Certificateholders of a series is required under this Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued pursuant to Subsection (d) below, the Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Certificateholders of such series to the Clearing Agency. (c) Except as otherwise provided in the related Trust Supplement, the Trustee shall enter into the applicable Letter of Representations with respect to each series of Certificates and fulfill its responsibilities thereunder. (d) If with respect to the Certificates of any series (i) the Company advises the Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities and the Trustee or the Company is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Company, at its option, advises the Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or (iii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates of such series evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest in the related Trust, by Act of such Certificate Owners delivered to the Company and the Trustee, advise the Company, the Trustee and the Clearing Agency through the Clearing Agency Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency Participants is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners of such series, then the Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners of such series, through the Clearing Agency, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates. Upon surrender to the Trustee of all the Certificates of such series held by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions from the Clearing Agency Participants for registration of Definitive Certificates in the names of Certificate Owners of such series, the Trustee shall issue and deliver the Definitive Certificates of such series in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. Neither the Company, the Registrar, the Paying Agent nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such registration instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates of such series, the Trustee shall recognize the Persons in whose names the Definitive Certificates are registered in the Register as Certificateholders hereunder. Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be liable if the Trustee or the Company is unable to locate a qualified successor Clearing Agency. (e) The provisions of this Section 3.05 may be made inapplicable to any series or may be amended with respect to any series in the related Trust Supplement. Section 3.06. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Registrar, or the Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to the Registrar and the Trustee such security, indemnity or bond as may be required by them to save each of them and the Company harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Registrar or the Trustee that such destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate has been acquired by a protected purchaser (within the meaning of Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any applicable jurisdiction), and provided that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any applicable 23
30 jurisdiction are met, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate or Certificates of like series, in authorized denominations and of like Fractional Undivided Interest and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 3.06, the Trustee shall require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee and the Registrar) connected therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 3.06 shall constitute conclusive evidence of the appropriate Fractional Undivided Interest in the related Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time. The provisions of this Section 3.06 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificates. Section 3.07. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee, the Registrar and any Paying Agent shall deem and treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered (as of the day of determination) on the Register as the owner of such Certificate and the Certificateholder for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Article IV and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Company, the Trustee, the Registrar or any Paying Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All payments or distributions made to any such Person shall be valid and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for moneys payable on any such Certificate. Section 3.08. Cancellation. All Certificates surrendered for payment or transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to the Trustee or any agent of the Trustee other than the Registrar, be delivered to the Registrar for cancellation and shall promptly be cancelled by it. No Certificates shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Certificates cancelled as provided in this Section 3.08, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement. All cancelled Certificates held by the Registrar shall be destroyed and a certification of their destruction delivered to the Trustee. Section 3.09. Limitation of Liability for Payments. All payments and distributions made to Certificateholders of any series in respect of the Certificates of such series shall be made only from the Trust Property of the related Trust and only to the extent that the Trustee shall have sufficient income or proceeds from such Trust Property to make such payments in accordance with the terms of Article IV of this Agreement. Each Certificateholder, by its acceptance of a Certificate, agrees that it will look solely to the income and proceeds from the Trust Property of the related Trust for any payment or distribution due to such Certificateholder pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and that it will not have any recourse to the Company, the Trustee, the Loan Trustees, any Owner 24
31 Trustee or any Owner Participant except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, in any Note Document or in any related Intercreditor Agreement. The Company is a party to this Agreement solely for purposes of meeting the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act, and therefore shall not have any right, obligation or liability hereunder, or under the terms of any Trust Supplement or any Certificates (except as otherwise expressly provided herein or therein). Section 3.10. CUSIP Numbers. The Certificates may include "CUSIP" numbers (if then generally in use), and if so, the Trustee may use the CUSIP numbers in notices in respect of the Certificates; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number printed in the notice or on the Certificates, that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Certificates, and any such notice shall not be affected by any defect or omission of such CUSIP numbers. ARTICLE IV DISTRIBUTIONS; STATEMENTS TO CERTIFICATEHOLDERS Section 4.01. Certificate Account and Special Payments Account. (a) The Trustee shall establish and maintain on behalf of the Certificateholders of each series a Certificate Account as one or more non-interest-bearing accounts. The Trustee shall hold such Certificate Account in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders of such series, and shall make or permit withdrawals therefrom only as provided in this Agreement or any Intercreditor Agreement. On each day when a Scheduled Payment is made to the Trustee or the Subordination Agent, as the case may be, as holder of the Equipment Notes issued under the related Indenture, with respect to the Certificates of any series, the Trustee, upon receipt of the payments to it, shall immediately deposit the aggregate amount of such Scheduled Payment in the applicable Certificate Account. (b) The Trustee shall establish and maintain on behalf of the Certificateholders of each series a Special Payments Account as one or more accounts, which shall be non-interest bearing except as provided in Section 4.04. The Trustee shall hold the Special Payments Account in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders of such series and shall make or permit withdrawals therefrom only as provided in this Agreement or any Intercreditor Agreement. On each day when one or more Special Payments are made to the Trustee or the Subordination Agent, as the case may be, as holder of the Equipment Notes issued under the related Indenture or to the Trustee pursuant to the last two paragraphs of Section 2.02(b) with respect to the Certificates of any series, the Trustee, upon receipt of the payments to it, shall immediately deposit the aggregate amount of such Special Payments in the applicable Special Payments Account. (c) The Trustee shall present (or, if applicable, cause the Subordination Agent to present) to the Loan Trustee to which an Equipment Note relates such Equipment Note on the date of its 25
32 stated final maturity or, in the case of any Equipment Note which is to be redeemed or purchased in whole pursuant to the related Indenture, on the applicable redemption or purchase date under such Indenture. Section 4.02. Distributions from Certificate Account and Special Payments Account. (a) Subject to the provisions of any Intercreditor Agreement, on each Regular Distribution Date with respect to a series of Certificates or as soon thereafter as the Trustee has confirmed receipt of the payment of all or any part of the Scheduled Payments due on the Equipment Notes held in the related Trust on such date, the Trustee shall distribute out of the applicable Certificate Account the entire amount deposited therein pursuant to Section 4.01(a). There shall be so distributed to each Certificateholder of record of such series on the Record Date with respect to such Regular Distribution Date (other than as provided in Section 11.01 concerning the final distribution) by check mailed to such Certificateholder, at the address appearing in the Register, such Certificateholder's pro rata share (based on the aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest in the related Trust held by such Certificateholder) of the total amount in the applicable Certificate Account, except that, with respect to Certificates registered on the Record Date in the name of a Clearing Agency (or its nominee), such distribution shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such Clearing Agency (or such nominee). (b) Subject to the provisions of any Intercreditor Agreement, on each Special Distribution Date with respect to any Special Payment with respect to a series of Certificates or as soon thereafter as the Trustee has confirmed receipt of any Special Payments due on the Equipment Notes held in the related Trust or realized upon the sale of such Equipment Notes, the Trustee shall distribute out of the applicable Special Payments Account the entire amount of such applicable Special Payment deposited therein pursuant to Section 4.01(b). There shall be so distributed to each Certificateholder of record of such series on the Record Date with respect to such Special Distribution Date (other than as provided in Section 11.01 concerning the final distribution) by check mailed to such Certificateholder, at the address appearing in the Register, such Certificateholder's pro rata share (based on the aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest in the related Trust held by such Certificateholder) of the total amount in the applicable Special Payments Account on account of such Special Payment, except that, with respect to Certificates registered on the Record Date in the name of a Clearing Agency (or its nominee), such distribution shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such Clearing Agency (or such nominee). (c) The Trustee shall, at the expense of the Company, cause notice of each Special Payment with respect to a series of Certificates to be mailed to each Certificateholder of such series at his address as it appears in the Register. Subject to the provisions of any Intercreditor Agreement: (i) in the event of redemption or purchase of Equipment Notes held in the related Trust, such notice shall be mailed not less than 15 days prior to the Special Distribution Date for the Special Payment resulting from such redemption or purchase, which Special Distribution Date shall be the date of such redemption or purchase; (ii) in the event that the Trustee receives a notice from the Company pursuant to Section 2.02(b) that Postponed Notes will not be purchased by the Trustee, such notice of Special Payment shall be mailed as soon as practicable after receipt of such notice from the 26
33 Company and shall state the Special Distribution Date for such Special Payment, which shall occur 15 days after the date of such notice of Special Payment or (if such 15th day is not practicable) as soon as practicable thereafter; (iii) in the event that any Special Payment is to be made pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 2.02(b), such notice of Special Payment shall be mailed on the Cut-off Date (or, if such mailing on the Cut-off Date is not practicable, as soon as practicable after the Cut-off Date) and shall state the Special Distribution Date for such Special Payment, which shall occur 15 days after the date of such notice of Special Payment or (if such 15th day is not practicable) as soon as practicable thereafter; and (iv) in the case of any other Special Payments, such notice of Special Payment shall be mailed as soon as practicable after the Trustee has confirmed that it has received funds for such Special Payment and shall state the Special Distribution Date for such Special Payment, which shall occur 15 days after the date of such notice of Special Payment or (if such 15th day is not practicable) as soon as practicable thereafter. Notices mailed by the Trustee as provided in the paragraphs above shall set forth: (i) the Special Distribution Date and the Record Date therefor (except as otherwise provided in Section 11.01); (ii) the amount of the Special Payment (taking into account any payment to be made by the Responsible Party pursuant to Section 2.02(b)) for each $1,000 face amount Certificate and the amount thereof constituting principal, premium, if any, and interest; (iii) the reason for the Special Payment; and (iv) if the Special Distribution Date is the same date as a Regular Distribution Date for the Certificates of such series, the total amount to be received on such date for each $1,000 face amount Certificate. If the amount of premium, if any, payable upon the redemption or purchase of an Equipment Note has not been calculated at the time that the Trustee mails notice of a Special Payment, it shall be sufficient if the notice sets forth the other amounts to be distributed and states that any premium received will also be distributed. If any redemption or purchase of the Equipment Notes held in any Trust is cancelled, the Trustee, as soon as possible after learning thereof, shall cause notice thereof to be mailed to each Certificateholder of the related series at its address as it appears on the Register. Section 4.03. Statements to Certificateholders. (a) On each Regular Distribution Date and Special Distribution Date, the Trustee will include with each distribution to Certificateholders of the related series a statement, giving effect to the distribution to be made on such Regular Distribution Date or Special Distribution Date, and, except to the extent otherwise provided in the applicable Trust Supplement, setting forth the following information (per $1,000 aggregate face amount of Certificate as to (i) and (ii) below): 27
34 (i) the amount of such distribution allocable to principal and the amount allocable to premium, if any; (ii) the amount of such distribution allocable to interest; and (iii) the Pool Balance and the Pool Factor of the related Trust. With respect to the Certificates registered in the name of a Clearing Agency or its nominee, on the Record Date prior to each Regular Distribution Date and Special Distribution Date, the Trustee will request from the Clearing Agency a securities position listing setting forth the names of all the Clearing Agency Participants reflected on the Clearing Agency's books as holding interests in the Certificates on such Record Date. On each Regular Distribution Date and Special Distribution Date, the applicable Trustee will mail to each such Clearing Agency Participant the statement described above and will make available additional copies as requested by such Clearing Agency Participants for forwarding to holders of interests in the Certificates. (b) Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year but not later than the latest date permitted by law, except to the extent otherwise provided in the applicable Trust Supplement, the Trustee shall furnish to each Person who at any time during such calendar year was a Certificateholder of record a statement containing the sum of the amounts determined pursuant to clauses (a)(i) and (a)(ii) above with respect to the related Trust for such calendar year or, in the event such Person was a Certificateholder of record during a portion of such calendar year, for the applicable portion of such year, and such other items as are readily available to the Trustee and which a Certificateholder may reasonably request as necessary for the purpose of such Certificateholder's preparation of its federal income tax returns. With respect to Certificates registered in the name of a Clearing Agency or its nominee, such statement and such other items shall be prepared on the basis of information supplied to the Trustee by the Clearing Agency Participants and shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Clearing Agency Participants to be available for forwarding by such Clearing Agency Participants to the holders of interests in the Certificates. Section 4.04. Investment of Special Payment Moneys. Any money received by the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01(b) representing a Special Payment which is not distributed on the date received shall, to the extent practicable, be invested by the Trustee in Permitted Investments selected by the Company in telephonic (confirmed in writing) or written instructions to the Trustee pending distribution of such Special Payment pursuant to Section 4.02. Any investment made pursuant to this Section 4.04 shall be in such Permitted Investments having maturities not later than the date that such moneys are required to be used to make the payment required under Section 4.02 on the applicable Special Distribution Date and the Trustee shall hold any such Permitted Investments until maturity. Absent receipt of instructions from the Company, such Special Payment shall remain uninvested by the Trustee pending receipt of investment instructions. The Trustee shall have no liability with respect to any investment made pursuant to this Section 4.04, other than by reason of the willful misconduct or negligence of the Trustee. All income and earnings from such investments 28
35 shall be distributed on such Special Distribution Date as part of such Special Payment. ARTICLE V THE COMPANY Section 5.01. Maintenance of Corporate Existence. The Company, at its own cost and expense, will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence, rights and franchises, except as otherwise specifically permitted in Section 5.02; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any right or franchise if the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company. Section 5.02. Consolidation, Merger, Etc. (a) The Company shall not consolidate with or merge into any other corporation under circumstances where the Company is not the surviving corporation or convey, transfer or lease substantially all of its assets as an entirety to any Person unless the corporation formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the Person that acquires by conveyance, transfer or lease substantially all of the assets of the Company as an entirety shall be organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and such corporation or Person shall execute and deliver to the Trustee an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee containing an assumption by such successor corporation or Person of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition of this Agreement. (b) Upon any consolidation or merger, or any conveyance, transfer or lease of substantially all of the assets of the Company as an entirety in accordance with this Section 5.02, the successor corporation or Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company 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 Company under this Agreement with the same effect as if such successor corporation or Person had been named as the Company herein. (c) The Trustee may receive an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel of the Company as conclusive evidence that any such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease, and any such assumption, complies with the provisions of this Section 5.02. ARTICLE VI DEFAULT Section 6.01. Indenture Events of Default and Triggering Events. (a) If in respect of any Trust, any Indenture Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then, and in each and every 29
36 case, so long as such Indenture Event of Default shall be continuing, and subject to the provisions of any Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee may vote all of the Equipment Notes issued under the related Indenture and held in such Trust, and, upon the direction of the Certificateholders holding Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests in such Trust aggregating not less than a majority in interest in such Trust, the Trustee shall vote not less than a corresponding majority of such Equipment Notes in favor of directing the Loan Trustee under such Indenture to declare the unpaid principal amount of the Equipment Notes then outstanding to which such Indenture Event of Default relates and accrued interest thereon to be due and payable under, and in accordance with the provisions of, the relevant Indenture. In addition, if an Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under any Indenture, subject to the provisions of any Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee may in accordance with the relevant Indenture vote the Equipment Notes held in the Trust to which such Indenture Event of Default relates to direct the Loan Trustee regarding the exercise of remedies provided in such Indenture. (b) In addition, after an Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to any Equipment Note, subject to the provisions of any Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee may in its discretion, and upon the direction of the Certificateholders holding Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest in the related Trust shall, by such officer or agent as it may appoint, sell, convey, transfer and deliver such Equipment Note or Equipment Notes, without recourse to or warranty by the Trustee or any Certificateholder, to any Person. In any such case, the Trustee shall sell, assign, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver such Equipment Note or Equipment Notes in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any location or locations at the option of the Trustee, all upon such terms and conditions as it may reasonably deem advisable and at such prices as it may reasonably deem advisable, for cash. If the Trustee so decides or is required to sell or otherwise dispose of any Equipment Note pursuant to this Section, the Trustee shall take such of the actions described above as it may reasonably deem most effectual to complete the sale or other disposition of such Equipment Note, so as to provide for the payment in full of all amounts due on the related series of Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any action taken by the Trustee under this Section shall not, in the reasonable judgment of the Trustee, be adverse to the best interests of the Certificateholders of such series. (c) If an Intercreditor Agreement is applicable, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Indenture Event of Default under any Indenture, the Trustee may, to the extent it is the Controlling Party at such time (as determined pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement), direct the exercise of remedies as provided in such related Intercreditor Agreement. (d) If an Intercreditor Agreement is applicable, by acceptance of its Certificate, each Certificateholder agrees that at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Triggering Event, each Certificateholder of Certificates of certain series (each, a "Potential Purchaser" and, collectively, the "Potential Purchasers") may have certain rights to purchase the Certificates of one or more other series, all as set forth in the Trust Supplement applicable to the Certificates held by such Potential Purchaser. The purchase price with respect to the Certificates of 30
37 any series, and the procedure for such purchase, shall be specified in such Trust Supplement or the applicable Intercreditor Agreement. By acceptance of its Certificate, each Certificateholder (each, a "Selling Certificateholder" and, collectively, the "Selling Certificateholders") of a series that is subject to purchase by Potential Purchasers, all as set forth in the Trust Supplement applicable to the Certificates held by the Selling Certificateholders, agrees that, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Triggering Event, it will, upon payment of the applicable purchase price by one or more Potential Purchasers (upon such purchase, a "Purchasing Certificateholder"), forthwith sell, assign, transfer and convey to such Purchasing Certificateholder (without recourse, representation or warranty of any kind except for its own acts) all of the right, title, interest and obligation of such Selling Certificateholder in this Agreement, any related Intercreditor Agreement, any related Liquidity Facility, the related Note Documents and all Certificates of such series held by such Selling Certificateholder (excluding all right, title and interest under any of the foregoing to the extent such right, title or interest is with respect to an obligation not then due and payable as respects any action or inaction or state of affairs occurring prior to such sale) and the Purchasing Certificateholder shall assume all of such Selling Certificateholder's obligations under this Agreement, any related Intercreditor Agreement, any related Liquidity Facility and the related Note Documents. The Certificates of such series will be deemed to be purchased on the date payment of the purchase price is made notwithstanding the failure of any Selling Certificateholder to deliver any Certificates of such series and, upon such a purchase, (i) the only rights of the Selling Certificateholders will be to deliver the Certificates to the Purchasing Certificateholder and receive the purchase price for such Certificates of such series and (ii) if the Purchasing Certificateholder shall so request, such Selling Certificateholder will comply with all of the provisions of Section 3.04 hereof to enable new Certificates of such series to be issued to the Purchasing Certificateholder in such denominations as it shall request. All charges and expenses in connection with the issuance of any such new Certificates shall be borne by the Purchasing Certificateholder. Section 6.02. Incidents of Sale of Equipment Notes. Upon any sale of all or any part of the Equipment Notes held in the Trust made either under the power of sale given under this Agreement or otherwise for the enforcement of this Agreement, the following shall be applicable: (1) Certificateholders and Trustee May Purchase Equipment Notes. Any Certificateholder, the Trustee in its individual or any other capacity or any other Person may bid for and purchase any of the Equipment Notes held in the Trust, and upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold, retain, possess and dispose of such Equipment Notes in their own absolute right without further accountability. (2) Receipt of Trustee Shall Discharge Purchaser. The receipt of the Trustee making such sale shall be a sufficient discharge to any purchaser for its purchase money, and, after paying such purchase money and receiving such receipt, such purchaser or its personal representative or assigns shall not be obliged to see to the application of such purchase money, or be in any way answerable for any loss, misapplication or non-application thereof. 31

Any moneys collected by the Trustee upon any sale made either under the power of sale given by this Agreement or otherwise for the enforcement of this Agreement shall be applied as provided in Section 4.02. In the event that the proceeds of such sale of Equipment Notes are less than the principal amount of the Certificates of such series Outstanding, the Certificateholders shall have no claim for such shortfall against the Company, the Trustee or any other Person including the related Owner Trustee or related Owner Participant, if any. Section 6.03. Judicial Proceedings Instituted by Trustee; Trustee May Bring Suit. If there shall be a failure to make payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Equipment Note held in the related Trust, or if there shall be any failure to pay Rent (as defined in the relevant Lease) under any Lease when due and payable, then the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, as holder of such Equipment Notes, to the extent permitted by and in accordance with the terms of any related Intercreditor Agreement and any related Note Documents (subject to rights of the applicable Owner Trustee or Owner Participant, if any, to cure any such failure to pay principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Equipment Note or to pay Rent under any Lease in accordance with the applicable Indenture and to the rights of the Lessee under any applicable Lease), shall be entitled and empowered to institute any suits, actions or proceedings at law, in equity or otherwise, for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid on such Equipment Notes or under such Lease and may prosecute any such claim or proceeding to judgment or final decree with respect to the whole amount of any such sums so due and unpaid. All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Agreement, or under any of the Certificates, may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of such Certificates or the production thereof in any trial or other proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or proceedings instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Trustee, each predecessor Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Certificateholders of the related series. In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and also any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement, any Trust Supplement, any Intercreditor Agreement or any Liquidity Facility to which the Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Certificateholders of the related series, and it shall not be necessary to make any such Certificateholders parties to any such proceedings. Section 6.04. Control by Certificateholders. Subject to Section 6.03 and any related Intercreditor Agreement, the Certificateholders holding Certificates of a series evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest in the related Trust shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee with respect to such Trust or pursuant to the terms of such Intercreditor Agreement or any Liquidity Facility to which such Trustee is a party, or exercising any trust or power conferred 32
39 on the Trustee under this Agreement or such Intercreditor Agreement or Liquidity Facility, including any right of the Trustee as Controlling Party under such Intercreditor Agreement or as holder of the Equipment Notes held in the related Trust; provided that: (1) such Direction shall not in the opinion of the Trustee be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Agreement and would not involve the Trustee in personal liability or expense; (2) the Trustee shall not determine that the action so directed would be unjustly prejudicial to the Certificateholders of such series not taking part in such Direction; (3) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such Direction; and (4) if an Indenture Event of Default under a related Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, such direction shall not obligate the Trustee to vote more than a corresponding majority of the related Equipment Notes held by the Trust in favor of directing any action by the related Loan Trustee with respect to such Indenture Event of Default. Section 6.05. Waiver of Past Defaults. Subject to any related Intercreditor Agreement, the Certificateholders holding Certificates of a series evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest in the related Trust (i) may on behalf of all of the Certificateholders of such series waive any past default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences or (ii) if the Trustee is the Controlling Party, may direct the Trustee to instruct the applicable Loan Trustee to waive any past Indenture default, Indenture Event of Default or, if applicable, the corresponding Lease default, under any related Indenture and its consequences, and thereby annul any Direction given by such Certificateholders or the Trustee to such Loan Trustee with respect thereto, except a default: (1) in the deposit of any Scheduled Payment or Special Payment under Section 4.01 or in the distribution of any payment under Section 4.02 on the Certificates of a series; or (2) in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Equipment Notes held in the related Trust; or (3) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article IX hereof cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each Certificateholder holding an Outstanding Certificate of the series affected thereby. Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist with respect to the Certificates of such series and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every 33
40 purpose in respect of such series and any direction given by the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders of such series to the relevant Loan Trustee shall be annulled with respect thereto; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Upon any such waiver, the Trustee shall vote the Equipment Notes issued under the relevant Indenture to waive the corresponding Indenture Event of Default (and, if applicable, the corresponding Lease default). Section 6.06. Right of Certificateholders to Receive Payments Not to Be Impaired. Anything in this Agreement (including Section 6.07) to the contrary notwithstanding, but subject to any related Intercreditor Agreement, the right of any Certificateholder to receive distributions of payments required pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof on the applicable Certificates when due, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the applicable Regular Distribution Date or Special Distribution Date, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Certificateholder. Section 6.07. Certificateholders May Not Bring Suit Except Under Certain Conditions. A Certificateholder of any series shall not have the right to institute any suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity or otherwise with respect to this Agreement for the appointment of a receiver or for the enforcement of any other remedy under this Agreement, unless: (1) such Certificateholder previously shall have given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default; (2) Certificateholders holding Certificates of such series evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 25% of the related Trust shall have requested the Trustee in writing to institute such action, suit or proceeding and shall have offered to the Trustee indemnity as provided in Section 7.03(e); (3) the Trustee shall have refused or neglected to institute any such action, suit or proceeding for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity; and (4) no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by Certificateholders holding Certificates of such series evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest in the related Trust. Except to the extent provided in any applicable Intercreditor Agreement or in any applicable Trust Supplement, it is understood and intended that no one or more of the Certificateholders of any series shall have any right in any manner whatsoever hereunder or under the related Trust Supplement or under the Certificates of such series to (i) surrender, impair, waive, affect, disturb or prejudice any property in the Trust Property of the related Trust, or the lien of any related Indenture on any property subject thereto, or the rights of the Certificateholders of such series or the holders 34
41 of the related Equipment Notes, (ii) obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference with respect to any other such Certificateholder of such series or (iii) enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner provided in this Agreement and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all the Certificateholders of such series subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Section 6.08. Remedies Cumulative. Every right or remedy given hereunder to the Trustee or to any of the Certificateholders of any series shall not be exclusive of any other right or remedy or remedies, and every such right or remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right or remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter given by statute, law, equity or otherwise. No delay or omission by the Trustee or of any such Certificateholder in the exercise of any right, remedy or power or in the pursuance of any remedy shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any default on the part of the applicable Owner Trustee, if any, or the Company, as the case may be, or to be an acquiescence therein. Section 6.09. Discontinuance of Proceedings. If the Trustee or any Certificateholder of any Series institutes any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under the related Trust, and such proceeding is discontinued or abandoned for any reason or is determined adversely to the Trustee or such Certificateholder, then and in every such case the applicable Owner Trustee, if any, and the applicable Indenture Trustee, the Trustee, the Certificateholders of such Series and the Company shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored to their former positions and rights under such Trust with respect to the Trust Property and all rights, remedies and powers of the Trustee and such Certificateholders shall continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted. Section 6.10. Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Agreement, and each Certificateholder by acceptance of a Certificate, shall be deemed to have agreed that, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Agreement, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and may assess costs against any such party litigant, in the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act or by any other applicable law; provided, however, that neither this Section 6.10 nor the Trust Indenture Act shall be deemed to authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Company. ARTICLE VII THE TRUSTEE Section 7.01. Certain Duties and Responsibilities. (a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default in respect of a Trust, (1) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties in respect of such Trust as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Note Documents, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into such agreements against 35
42 the Trustee; and (2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions that by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Agreement. (b) In case an Event of Default in respect of a Trust has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement in respect of such Trust, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs. (c) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: (1) this Subsection (c) shall not be construed to limit the effect of Subsection (a) of this Section 7.01; and (2) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts. (d) Whether or not herein expressly so provided, every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 7.01. Section 7.02. Notice of Defaults. As promptly as practicable after, and in any event within 90 days after, the occurrence of any default (as such term is defined below) hereunder known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to the Company, any related Owner Trustees, any related Owner Participants, the related Loan Trustees and the Certificateholders holding Certificates of the related series, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, notice of such default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such default shall have been cured or waived; provided that, in the case of defaults not relating to the payment of money, the Trustee shall not give such notice until the earlier of the time at which such default becomes an Event of Default and the expiration of 60 days from the occurrence of such default; and provided, however, that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Equipment Note, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith shall determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Certificateholders of the related series. For the purpose of this Section 7.02 in respect of any Trust, the term "default" means any event that is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would 36
43 become, an Event of Default in respect of that Trust or a Triggering Event under any Intercreditor Agreement. Section 7.03. Certain Rights of Trustee. Subject to the provisions of Section 315 of the Trust Indenture Act: (a) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting in reliance upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; (b) any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Request; (c) whenever in the administration of this Agreement or any Intercreditor Agreement the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officer's Certificate of the Company, any related Owner Trustee or any related Loan Trustee; (d) the Trustee may consult with counsel and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon; (e) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement or any Intercreditor Agreement at the Direction of any of the Certificateholders pursuant to this Agreement or any Intercreditor Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the cost, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such Direction; (f) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document; (g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers under this Agreement or any Intercreditor Agreement or perform any duties under this Agreement or any Intercreditor Agreement either directly or by or through agents or attorneys, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it under this Agreement or any Intercreditor Agreement; (h) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the Direction of the Certificateholders holding Certificates of any series evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest 37
44 in the related Trust relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Agreement or any Intercreditor Agreement; and (i) the Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds in the performance of any of its duties under this Agreement, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk is not reasonably assured to it. Section 7.04. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Certificates. The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates of each series, except the certificates of authentication, shall not be taken as the statements of the Trustee, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. Subject to Section 7.15, the Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Basic Agreement, any Equipment Notes, any Intercreditor Agreement, any Liquidity Facility to which the Trustee may be a party, the Certificates of any series, any Trust Supplement or any Note Documents, except that the Trustee hereby represents and warrants that this Basic Agreement has been, and each Trust Supplement, each Certificate, each Note Purchase Agreement, each Intercreditor Agreement and any such Liquidity Facility of, or relating to, each series will be, executed and delivered by one of its officers who is duly authorized to execute and deliver such document on its behalf. Section 7.05. May Hold Certificates. The Trustee, any Paying Agent, Registrar or any of their Affiliates or any other agent, in their respective individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates and, subject to Sections 310(b) and 311 of the Trust Indenture Act, if applicable, may otherwise deal with the Company, any Owner Trustees, any Owner Participants or the Loan Trustees with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Registrar or such other agent. Section 7.06. Money Held in Trust. Money held by the Trustee or the Paying Agent in trust under this Agreement need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required herein or by law and neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall have any liability for interest upon any such moneys except as provided for herein or in the applicable Trust Supplement. Section 7.07. Compensation and Reimbursement. The Company agrees: (1) to pay, or cause to be paid, to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder as the Company and the Trustee may agree in writing from time to time (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust); and (2) except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any Trust Supplement, to reimburse, or cause to be reimbursed, the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee 38
45 in accordance with any provision of this Basic Agreement, any Trust Supplement, any Intercreditor Agreement or any Liquidity Facility to which the Trustee may be a party (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to the Trustee's negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith or as may be incurred due to the Trustee's breach of its representations and warranties set forth in Section 7.15; and (3) to indemnify, or cause to be indemnified, the Trustee, solely in its individual capacity, for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability, tax (other than any tax referred to in the next paragraph or any tax attributable to the Trustee's compensation for serving as such), cost or expense incurred without negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of any Trust, including the costs and expenses of (a) defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder or under any Trust Supplement or (b) contesting the imposition of any such tax, except in each case for any such loss, liability, tax, cost or expense incurred by reason of the Trustee's breach of its representations and warranties set forth in Section 7.15 or in any Trust Supplement or the Trustee's failure to perform any of its obligations hereunder or under any Trust Supplement. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim or tax for which it may seek indemnity. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel with the consent of the Company and the Company will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made or any taxes paid, in settlement or otherwise, without its consent. The Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement from, and shall have a lien prior to the Certificates of each series upon, all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee in its capacity as Trustee with respect to such series or the related Trust for any tax incurred without negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of such Trust (other than any tax attributable to the Trustee's compensation for serving as such), including any costs and expenses incurred in contesting the imposition of any such tax. The Trustee shall notify the Company of any claim for any tax for which it may seek reimbursement. If the Trustee reimburses itself from the Trust Property of such Trust for any such tax, it will mail a brief report within 30 days setting forth the amount of such tax and the circumstances thereof to all Certificateholders of such series as their names and addresses appear in the Register. Section 7.08. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. Each Trust shall at all times have a Trustee which shall be a bank, trust company or other financial institution organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, shall be eligible to act as a trustee under Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act and shall have a combined capital and surplus of at 39
46 least $75,000,000 (or a combined capital and surplus in excess of $5,000,000 and the obligations of which, whether now in existence or hereafter incurred, are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or any state or territory thereof or the District of Columbia and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $75,000,000). If such bank, trust company or other financial institution or such corporation publishes reports of conditions at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of federal, state, territorial or District of Columbia supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 7.08 the combined capital and surplus of such bank, trust company or other financial institution or such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of conditions so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.08 to act as Trustee of any Trust, the Trustee shall resign immediately as Trustee of such Trust in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 7.09. If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Agreement. Section 7.09. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee of any Trust pursuant to this Article VII shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee under Section 7.10. (b) The Trustee may resign at any time as Trustee of any or all Trusts by giving prior written notice thereof to the Company, the Authorized Agents, any related Owner Trustees and the related Loan Trustees. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Company, any related Owner Trustees and the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. (c) The Trustee may be removed at any time as Trustee of any Trust by Direction of the Certificateholders of the related series holding Certificates of such series evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest in such Trust delivered to the Trustee and to the Company, any related Owner Trustees and the related Loan Trustees. (d) If at any time in respect of any Trust: (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, if applicable, after written request therefor by the Company or by any Certificateholder who has been a bona fide Certificateholder for at least six months; or (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 7.08 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Certificateholder; or 40
47 (3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation; then, in any such case, (i) the Company may remove the Trustee or (ii) any Certificateholder of the related series who has been a bona fide Certificateholder for at least six months may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee of such Trust. (e) If a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall obtain actual knowledge of an Avoidable Tax (as defined below) in respect of any Trust which has been or is likely to be asserted, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and shall, within 30 days of such notification, either relocate the administration of the Trust to another jurisdiction as described in the definition of "Avoidable Tax" or resign as Trustee of such Trust hereunder unless within such 30-day period the Trustee shall have received notice that the Company has agreed to pay such tax. Provided that there is a corporation in a jurisdiction where there are no Avoidable Taxes that is willing to act as Trustee and is eligible under Section 7.08, the Company shall promptly after any such resignation by such Trustee appoint a successor Trustee of such Trust in a jurisdiction where there are no Avoidable Taxes. As used herein, an "Avoidable Tax" in respect of such Trust means a state or local tax: (i) upon (w) such Trust, (x) the Trust Property of such Trust, (y) Certificateholders of such Trust or (z) the Trustee for which the Trustee is entitled to seek reimbursement from the Trust Property of such Trust, and (ii) which would be avoided if the Trust were administered in a different jurisdiction in the United States or if the Trustee were located in another state, or jurisdiction within a state, within the United States. A tax shall not be an Avoidable Tax in respect of any Trust if the Company or any Owner Trustee shall agree to pay, and shall pay, such tax. (f) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting as Trustee of any Trust or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Trustee of any Trust for any cause, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee of such Trust. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or other occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee of such Trust shall be appointed by Direction of the Certificateholders of the related series holding Certificates of such series evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest in such Trust delivered to the Company, any related Owner Trustees, the related Loan Trustee and the retiring Trustee, then the successor Trustee of such Trust so appointed shall, with the approval of the Company of such appointment, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Trustee of such Trust and supersede the successor Trustee of such Trust appointed by the Company as provided above. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Company as provided above and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, the resigning Trustee or any Certificateholder who has been a bona fide Certificateholder of the related series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee of such Trust. 41
48 (g) The successor Trustee of a Trust shall give notice of the resignation and removal of the Trustee and appointment of the successor Trustee by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Certificateholders of the related series as their names and addresses appear in the Register. Each notice shall include the name of such successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. Section 7.10. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee with respect to any or all Trusts an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee with respect to such Trust or Trusts shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to such Trust or Trusts; but, on request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all Trust Property held by such retiring Trustee in respect of such Trusts hereunder (subject nevertheless to its lien, if any, provided for in Section 7.07) and all books and records, or true, correct and complete copies thereof, held by such retiring Trustee in respect of such Trusts hereunder. Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company, the retiring Trustee and such successor Trustee shall execute and deliver any and all instruments containing such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and for more fully and certainly vesting in, such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts. If a successor Trustee is appointed with respect to one or more (but not all) Trusts, the Company, the predecessor Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to any Trust shall execute and deliver a supplemental agreement hereto which shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all of the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the predecessor Trustee with respect to the Trusts as to which the predecessor Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the predecessor Trustee, and shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Basic Agreement and the applicable Trust Supplements as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the Trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental agreement shall constitute such Trustees as co-Trustees of the same Trust and that each such Trustee shall be Trustee of separate Trusts. No institution shall accept its appointment as a successor Trustee hereunder unless at the time of such acceptance such institution shall be qualified and eligible under this Article VII. Section 7.11. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any corporation into which the 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 Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article VII, without the execution 42
49 or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Certificates shall have been executed or authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such execution or authentication and deliver the Certificates so executed or authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself executed or authenticated such Certificates. Section 7.12. Maintenance of Agencies. (a) With respect to each series of Certificates, there shall at all times be maintained an office or agency in the location set forth in Section 12.04 where Certificates of such series may be presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange, and for payment thereof, and where notices and demands to or upon the Trustee in respect of such Certificates or this Agreement may be served; provided that, if it shall be necessary that the Trustee maintain an office or agency in another location with respect to the Certificates of any series (e.g., the Certificates of such series shall be represented by Definitive Certificates and shall be listed on a national securities exchange), the Trustee will make all reasonable efforts to establish such an office or agency. Written notice of the location of each such other office or agency and of any change of location thereof shall be given by the Trustee to the Company, any Owner Trustees, the Loan Trustees (in the case of any Owner Trustee or Loan Trustee, at its address specified in the Note Documents or such other address as may be notified to the Trustee) and the Certificateholders of such series. In the event that no such office or agency shall be maintained or no such notice of location or of change of location shall be given, presentations and demands may be made and notices may be served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. (b) There shall at all times be a Registrar and a Paying Agent hereunder with respect to the Certificates of each series. Each such Authorized Agent shall be a bank, trust company or other financial institution organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, with a combined capital and surplus of at least $75,000,000 (or combined capital and surplus in excess of $5,000,000, the obligations of which are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or any state or territory thereof or the District of Columbia, with a combined capital and surplus of at least $75,000,000), and shall be authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, subject to supervision by federal or state authorities. The Trustee shall initially be the Paying Agent and, as provided in Section 3.04, Registrar hereunder with respect to the Certificates of each series. Each Registrar other than the Trustee shall furnish to the Trustee, at stated intervals of not more than six months, and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a copy of the Register maintained by such Registrar. (c) Any corporation into which any Authorized Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Authorized Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of any Authorized Agent, shall be the successor of such Authorized Agent, if such successor corporation is otherwise eligible under this Section 7.12, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto or such Authorized Agent or such successor corporation. 43
50 (d) Any Authorized Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee, the Company, any related Owner Trustees and the related Loan Trustees. The Company may, and at the request of the Trustee shall, at any time terminate the agency of any Authorized Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authorized Agent and to the Trustee. Upon the resignation or termination of an Authorized Agent or in case at any time any such Authorized Agent shall cease to be eligible under this Section 7.12 (when, in either case, no other Authorized Agent performing the functions of such Authorized Agent shall have been appointed), the Company shall promptly appoint one or more qualified successor Authorized Agents, reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, to perform the functions of the Authorized Agent which has resigned or whose agency has been terminated or who shall have ceased to be eligible under this Section 7.12. The Company shall give written notice of any such appointment made by it to the Trustee, any related Owner Trustees and the related Loan Trustees; and in each case the Trustee shall mail notice of such appointment to all Certificateholders of the related series as their names and addresses appear on the Register for such series. (e) The Company agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, from time to time to each Authorized Agent such compensation for its services as the Company and the Trustee may agree in writing from time to time and to reimburse it for its reasonable expenses to the extent set forth in Section 7.07(2). Section 7.13. Money for Certificate Payments to Be Held in Trust. All moneys deposited with any Paying Agent for the purpose of any payment on Certificates shall be deposited and held in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled to such payment, subject to the provisions of this Section 7.13. Moneys so deposited and held in trust shall constitute a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Certificateholders with respect to which such money was deposited. The Trustee may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Agreement or for any other purpose, direct any Paying Agent to pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

In no event shall the Trustee invest in, or hold, Equipment Notes, Specified Investments or Permitted Investments in a manner that would cause the Trustee not to have the ownership interest in (or a 44
51 securities entitlement with respect to) such Equipment Notes, Specified Investments or Permitted Investments under the applicable provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect where the Trustee holds such Equipment Notes, Specified Investments or Permitted Investments or other applicable law then in effect.

ARTICLE X AMENDMENTS TO INDENTURES AND OTHER NOTE DOCUMENTS Section 10.01. Amendments and Supplements to Indentures and Other Note Documents.

The Trustee shall request from the Certificateholders of such series a Direction as to (a) whether or not to take or refrain from taking (or direct the Subordination Agent to take or refrain from taking) any action which a holder of (or, with respect to Postponed Notes, a prospective purchaser of) such Equipment Note has the option to direct, (b) whether or not to give or execute (or direct the Subordination Agent to give or execute) any waivers, consents, amendments, modifications or supplements as a holder of (or, with respect to Postponed Notes, a prospective purchaser of) such Equipment Note or a Controlling Party and (c) how to vote (or direct the Subordination Agent to vote) any Equipment Note (or, with respect to a Postponed Note, its commitment to acquire such Postponed Note) if a vote has been called for with respect thereto. Provided such a request for Certificateholder Direction shall have been made, in directing any action or casting any vote or giving any consent as the holder of any Equipment Note (or in directing the Subordination Agent in any of the foregoing), (i) other than as Controlling Party, the Trustee shall vote for or give consent to any such action with respect to such Equipment Note (or Postponed Note) in the same proportion as that of (A) the aggregate face amount of all Certificates actually voted in favor of or for giving consent to such action by such Direction of Certificateholders to (B) the aggregate face amount of all Outstanding Certificates and (ii) as Controlling Party, the Trustee shall vote as directed in such Certificateholder Direction by the Certificateholders of such series evidencing a Fractional Undivided Interest aggregating not less than a majority in interest in the Trust. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, a Certificate shall have been "actually voted" if the Holder of such Certificate has delivered to the Trustee an instrument evidencing such Holder's consent to such Direction prior to one Business Day before the Trustee directs such action or casts such vote or gives such consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Section 6.04 and any Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee may, with respect to the Certificates of any series, in its own discretion and at its own direction, consent and notify the relevant Loan Trustee of such consent (or direct the Subordination Agent to consent and notify the Loan Trustee of such consent) to any amendment, modification, waiver or supplement under any related Indenture or any other related Note Document if an Event of Default hereunder shall have 52
59 occurred and be continuing or if such amendment, modification, waiver or supplement will not materially adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders of such series. ARTICLE XI TERMINATION OF TRUSTS Section 11.01. Termination of the Trusts. In respect of each Trust created by the Basic Agreement as supplemented by a related Trust Supplement, the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Company and the Trustee with respect to such Trust shall terminate upon the distribution to all Holders of Certificates of the series of such Trust and the Trustee of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to this Agreement and the disposition of all property held as part of the Trust Property of such Trust; provided, however, that in no event shall such Trust continue beyond the final expiration date determined as provided in such Trust Supplement. Notice of any termination of a Trust, specifying the applicable Regular Distribution Date (or applicable Special Distribution Date, as the case may be) upon which the Certificateholders of any series may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be mailed promptly by the Trustee to Certificateholders of such series not earlier than 60 days and not later than 15 days preceding such final distribution specifying (i) the Regular Distribution Date (or Special Distribution Date, as the case may be) upon which the proposed final payment of the Certificates of such series will be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates of such series at the office or agency of the Trustee therein specified, (ii) the amount of any such proposed final payment, and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Regular Distribution Date (or Special Distribution Date, as the case may be) is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates of such series at the office or agency of the Trustee therein specified. The Trustee shall give such notice to the Registrar at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders of such series. Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates of such series in accordance with such notice, the Trustee shall cause to be distributed to Certificateholders of such series amounts distributable on such Regular Distribution Date (or Special Distribution Date, as the case may be) pursuant to Section 4.02. In the event that all of the Certificateholders of such series shall not surrender their Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the above-mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders of such series to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. No additional interest shall accrue on the Certificates of such series after any Regular Distribution Date (or Special Distribution Date, as the case may be) of such series, as specified in the first written notice. In the event that any money held by the Trustee for the payment of distributions on the Certificates of such series shall remain unclaimed for two years (or such lesser time as the Trustee shall be satisfied, after 60 days' notice from the Company, is one month prior to the escheat period provided under applicable law) after the final distribution date with respect 53
60 thereto, the Trustee shall pay to each Loan Trustee the appropriate amount of money relating to such Loan Trustee and shall give written notice thereof to any related Owner Trustees and the Company. ARTICLE XII MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS Section 12.01. Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders. (a) The insolvency, death or incapacity of any Certificateholder of any series shall not operate to terminate this Agreement or the related Trust, nor entitle such Certificateholder's legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or commence any proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the Trust, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them. No Certificateholder of any series shall be entitled to revoke the related Trust. (b) No transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, of any Certificate or other right, title and interest of any Certificateholder in and to the applicable Trust Property or under the related Trust shall operate to terminate the Trust or entitle such Certificateholder or any successor or transferee of such Certificateholder to an accounting or to the transfer to it of legal title to any part of such Trust Property.

Certificateholders of each series shall not be personally liable for obligations of the related Trust, the Fractional Undivided Interests represented by the Certificates of such series shall be nonassessable for any losses or expenses of such Trust or for any reason whatsoever, and Certificates of such series upon authentication thereof by the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.02 are and shall be deemed fully paid. No Certificateholder of such series shall have any right (except as expressly provided herein) to vote or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the related Trust Property, the related Trust, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything set forth herein, or contained in the terms of the Certificates of such series, be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders of such series from time to time as partners or members of an association. Section 12.03. Registration of Equipment Notes in Name of Subordination Agent. If a Trust is party to an Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee agrees that all Equipment Notes to be purchased by such Trust may be issued in the name of the Subordination Agent under such Intercreditor Agreement or its nominee and held by such Subordination Agent in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders, or, if not so held, such Subordination Agent or its nominee shall be reflected as the owner of such Equipment Notes in the register of the issuer of such Equipment Notes.

The Certificates are limited in right of payment, all as more specifically set forth on the face hereof and in the Agreement.

THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN DELIVERED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THIS AGREEMENT AND THE CLASS A-1 CERTIFICATES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

10 parties hereto shall be an original counterpart of this Trust Supplement, but all of such counterparts together shall constitute one instrument. Section 5.05. Intention of Parties. The parties hereto intend that the Class A-1 Trust be classified for United States federal income tax purposes as a grantor trust under Part 1E of Chapter 1J of Subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and not as a trust or association taxable as a corporation or as a partnership. Each Certificateholder of a Class A-1 Certificate, by its acceptance of its Class A-1 Certificate or a beneficial interest therein, agrees to treat the Class A-1 Trust as a grantor trust for all United States federal, state and local income tax purposes. The Trustee shall not be authorized or empowered to do anything that would cause the Class A-1 Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust for such tax purposes (including as subject to this restriction, acquiring any Aircraft by bidding the Equipment Notes relating thereto or otherwise, or taking any action with respect to any such Aircraft once acquired). 9

This Certificate is one of the duly authorized Certificates designated as "6.855% American Airlines Pass Through Certificates, Series 1999-1A-1" (herein called the "Certificates"). This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement. By virtue of its acceptance hereof, the Certificateholder of this Certificate assents to and agrees to be bound by all of the provisions of the Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, including the subordination provisions of Section 9.09 of the Intercreditor Agreement. The property of the Trust includes or will include certain Equipment Notes and all rights of the Trust and the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, to receive any payments under the Intercreditor Agreement or the Liquidity Facility (the "Trust Property"). Each issue of the Equipment Notes is or will be secured by, among other things, a security interest in Aircraft owned by the Company. The Certificates represent Fractional Undivided Interests in the Trust and the Trust Property, and will have no rights, benefits or interest in respect of any other separate trust established pursuant to the terms of the Basic Agreement for any other series of certificates issued pursuant thereto. Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, from funds then available to the Trustee, there will be distributed on each April 15 and October 15 (a "Regular Distribution Date"), commencing on April 15, 2000, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the 15th day preceding the Regular Distribution Date, an amount in respect of the Scheduled Payments on the Equipment Notes due on such Regular Distribution Date, the receipt of which has been confirmed by the Trustee, equal to the product of the percentage interest in the Trust evidenced by this Certificate and an amount equal to the sum of such Scheduled Payments.

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 that with respect to Certificates registered on the Record Date in the name of a Clearing Agency (or its nominee), such distributions shall be made by wire transfer. Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement and notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after A-2

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 any payment or distribution to such Certificateholder pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and that it will not have any recourse to the Company, the Trustee or the Loan Trustees except as otherwise expressly provided in the Agreement, in any Note Document or in the Intercreditor Agreement.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Certificateholders holding Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest in the Trust. Any such consent by the Certificateholder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Certificateholder and upon all future Certificateholders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Certificateholders of any of the Certificates. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies maintained by the Trustee in its capacity as Registrar, or by any successor Registrar duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Registrar, duly executed by the Certificateholder hereof or such Certificateholder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest in the Trust will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in minimum denominations of $1,000 Fractional Undivided Interest and integral multiples thereof except that one Certificate may be issued in a different denomination.

15 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 Class A-2 Certificates will be deemed to be purchased on the date payment of the purchase price is made notwithstanding the failure of any Class A-2 Certificateholder to deliver any Class A-2 Certificate and, upon such a purchase, (i) the only rights of the Class A-2 Certificateholders will be to deliver the Class A-2 Certificates and (ii) if the purchaser(s) shall so request, each such Class A-2 Certificateholder will comply with all the provisions of Section 3.04 of the Basic Agreement to enable new Class A-2 Certificates to be issued to the purchaser(s) in such denominations as it shall request. All charges and expenses in connection with the issuance of any such new Class A-2 Certificates shall be borne by the purchaser(s) thereof.

(b) This Section 4.01 supplements and, to the extent inconsistent with any provision of Section 6.01(d) of the Basic Agreement, replaces the provisions of Section 6.01(d) of the Basic Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in any Operative Agreement, the provisions of this Section 4.01 may not be amended in any manner without the consent of each Class A-1 Certificateholder, Class B Certificateholder, Class C Certificateholder or Class D Certificateholder, if any, that would be adversely affected thereby. ARTICLE V MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS Section 5.01. Final Termination Date. The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Company and the Trustee created hereby and the Class A-2 Trust created hereby shall terminate upon the distribution to all Certificateholders of Class A-2 Certificates and the Trustee of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to this Agreement and the disposition of all property held as part of the Trust Property; provided, however, that in no event shall the Trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr., the father of John F. Kennedy, former President of the United States, living on the date of this Trust Supplement. Section 5.02. Basic Agreement Ratified. Except and so far as herein expressly provided, all of the provisions, terms and conditions of the Basic Agreement are in all respects ratified and confirmed; and the Basic Agreement and this Trust Supplement shall be taken, read and construed as one and the same instrument. Section 5.03. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN DELIVERED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THIS AGREEMENT AND THE CLASS A-2 CERTIFICATES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS. Section 5.04. Counterparts. This Trust Supplement may be executed in any number of counterparts (and each of the parties shall not be required to execute the same counterpart). Each counterpart of this Trust Supplement including a signature page or pages executed by each of the 8
10 parties hereto shall be an original counterpart of this Trust Supplement, but all of such counterparts together shall constitute one instrument. Section 5.05. Intention of Parties. The parties hereto intend that the Class A-2 Trust be classified for United States federal income tax purposes as a grantor trust under Part 1E of Chapter 1J of Subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and not as a trust or association taxable as a corporation or as a partnership. Each Certificateholder of a Class A-2 Certificate, by its acceptance of its Class A-2 Certificate or a beneficial interest therein, agrees to treat the Class A-2 Trust as a grantor trust for all United States federal, state and local income tax purposes. The Trustee shall not be authorized or empowered to do anything that would cause the Class A-2 Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust for such tax purposes (including as subject to this restriction, acquiring any Aircraft by bidding the Equipment Notes relating thereto or otherwise, or taking any action with respect to any such Aircraft once acquired). 9

Each issue of the Equipment Notes is or will be secured by, among other things, a security interest in Aircraft owned by the Company.

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 any payment or distribution to such Certificateholder pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and that it will not have any recourse to the Company, the Trustee or the Loan Trustees except as otherwise expressly provided in the Agreement, in any Note Document or in the Intercreditor Agreement.

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.

15 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.

Section 5.05. Intention of Parties. The parties hereto intend that the Class B Trust be classified for United States federal income tax purposes as a grantor trust under Part 1E of Chapter 1J of Subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and not as a trust or association taxable as a corporation or as a partnership. Each Certificateholder of a Class B Certificate, by its acceptance of its Class B Certificate or a beneficial interest therein, agrees to treat the Class B Trust as a grantor trust for all United States federal, state and local income tax purposes. The Trustee shall not be authorized or empowered to do anything that would cause the Class B Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust for such tax purposes (including as subject to this restriction, acquiring any Aircraft by bidding the Equipment Notes relating thereto or otherwise, or taking any action with respect to any such Aircraft once acquired). 8

The parties hereto intend that the Class C Trust be classified for United States federal income tax purposes as a grantor trust under Part 1E of Chapter 1J of Subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and not as a trust or association taxable as a corporation or as a partnership. Each Certificateholder of a Class C Certificate, by its acceptance of its Class C Certificate or a beneficial interest therein, agrees to treat the Class C Trust as a grantor trust for all United States federal, state and local income tax purposes. The Trustee shall not be authorized or empowered to do anything that would cause the Class C Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust for such tax purposes (including as subject to this restriction, acquiring any Aircraft by bidding the Equipment Notes relating thereto or otherwise, or taking any action with respect to any such Aircraft once acquired). 8

In addition, each Trustee hereby agrees to cause the Equipment Notes purchased by the related Trust to be registered in the name of the Subordination Agent or its nominee, as agent and trustee for such Trustee, to be held in trust by the Subordination Agent solely for the purpose of facilitating the enforcement of the subordination and other provisions of this Agreement. (b) Except as otherwise expressly provided in the next succeeding sentence of this Section 2.01(b), all payments to be made by the Subordination Agent hereunder shall be made only from amounts received by it that constitute Scheduled Payments, Special Payments and other payments under the Operative Agreements, including payments under Section 4.02 of the Participation Agreements and Section 2.14 of the Indentures, and only to the extent that the Subordination Agent shall have received sufficient income or proceeds therefrom to enable it to make such payments in accordance with the terms hereof. Each of the Trustees and the Subordination Agent hereby agrees and each Certificateholder, by its acceptance of a Certificate, and each Liquidity Provider, by entering into the Liquidity Facility to which it is a party, has agreed to look solely to such amounts to the extent available for distribution to it as provided in this Agreement or the applicable Trust Agreement, as the case may be, and that none of the Trustees, Loan Trustees or the Subordination Agent is personally liable to any of them for any amounts payable or any liability under this Agreement, any Trust Agreement, any Liquidity Facility or such Certificate, except (in the case of the Subordination Agent) as expressly provided herein or (in the case of the Trustees) as expressly provided herein and in each Trust Agreement or (in the case of the Loan Trustees) as expressly provided in any Operative Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement and in the other Operative Agreements, the Certificates do not represent indebtedness of the related Trust, and references in this Agreement and the Operative Agreements to accrued interest or principal amounts payable on the Certificates of any Class are included only for computational purposes. For purposes of such 21
26 computations, the Certificates of any Class shall be deemed to be comprised of interest and principal components, with the principal component deemed to be the Pool Balance, and the interest component deemed to equal interest accruing at the Stated Interest Rate for such Class of Certificates from (i) the later of (1) the date of the issuance thereof and (2) the most recent but preceding Distribution Date to which such interest was distributed to (ii) the applicable date of determination, such interest to be considered payable in arrears and to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. Section 2.02. Trust Accounts. (a) Upon the execution of this Agreement, the Subordination Agent shall establish and maintain in its name (i) the Collection Account as an Eligible Deposit Account, bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held in trust for the benefit of the Trustees, the Certificateholders and the Liquidity Providers, and (ii) as a sub-account in the Collection Account, the Special Payments Account as an Eligible Deposit Account, bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held in trust for the benefit of the Trustees, the Certificateholders and the Liquidity Providers. The Subordination Agent shall establish and maintain the Cash Collateral Accounts pursuant to and under the circumstances set forth in Section 3.06(f). Upon such establishment and maintenance under Section 3.06(f), the Cash Collateral Accounts shall, together with the Collection Account, constitute the "Trust Accounts" hereunder. (b) Funds on deposit in the Trust Accounts shall be invested and reinvested by the Subordination Agent in Eligible Investments selected by American or its designated representative if such investments are reasonably available and have maturities no later than the earlier of (i) 90 days following the date of such investment and (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the Regular Distribution Date or the date of the related distribution pursuant to Section 2.04, as the case may be, next following the date of such investment; provided, however, that, following the making of a Downgrade Drawing or a Non-Extension Drawing under any Liquidity Facility, the Subordination Agent shall invest and reinvest the amounts in the applicable Cash Collateral Account in Eligible Investments pursuant to the written instructions of the Liquidity Provider funding such Drawing, and provided further, however, that upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Triggering Event, the Subordination Agent shall invest and reinvest such amounts (other than amounts in the Cash Collateral Accounts as a result of a Downgrade Drawing or a Non-Extension Drawing, which shall be governed by the foregoing proviso) in Eligible Investments in accordance with the written instructions of the Controlling Party. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement (including, without limitation, with respect to Investment Earnings on amounts on deposit in the Cash Collateral Accounts, Section 3.06(f)), any Investment Earnings shall be deposited in the Collection Account when received by the Subordination Agent and shall be applied by the Subordination Agent in the same manner as the other amounts on deposit in the Collection Account are to be applied. The Subordination Agent's reasonable fees and expenses in making such investments and any losses incurred in such investments shall be charged against the principal amount invested. The Subordination Agent shall not be liable for any loss resulting from any investment, reinvestment or liquidation required to be made under this Agreement other than by reason of its willful misconduct or negligence. Eligible Investments and any other investment 22
27 required to be made hereunder shall be held to their maturities except that any such investment may be sold (without regard to its maturity) by the Subordination Agent without instructions whenever such sale is necessary to make a distribution required under this Agreement. Uninvested funds held hereunder shall not earn or accrue interest. (c) The Subordination Agent shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Trust Accounts and in all proceeds thereof (including all income thereon, except as otherwise expressly provided herein with respect to Investment Earnings). The Trust Accounts shall be held in trust by the Subordination Agent under the sole dominion and control of the Subordination Agent for the benefit of the Trustees, the Certificateholders and the Liquidity Providers, as the case may be. If, at any time, any of the Trust Accounts ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Subordination Agent shall within 10 Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed 30 calendar days, to which each Rating Agency may consent) establish a new Collection Account, Special Payments Account or Cash Collateral Account, as the case may be, as an Eligible Deposit Account and shall transfer any cash and/or any investments to such new Collection Account, Special Payments Account or Cash Collateral Account, as the case may be. So long as the Subordination Agent is an Eligible Institution, the Trust Accounts shall be maintained with it as Eligible Deposit Accounts. Section 2.03. Deposits to the Collection Account and Special Payments Account; Certain Distributions. (a) The Subordination Agent shall, on each day when one or more Scheduled Payments are made to the Subordination Agent as holder of the Equipment Notes, deposit in the Collection Account the aggregate amount of such Scheduled Payments. (b) The Subordination Agent shall, on each day when one or more Special Payments are made to the Subordination Agent as holder of the Equipment Notes, deposit in the Special Payments Account the aggregate amount of such Special Payments. (c) In the event that a Loan Trustee distributes to the Subordination Agent pursuant to Section 3.04 or clause "first" of Section 3.03 of any Indenture any amounts payable under clauses (b), (c) or (d) of Section 2.14 of any Indenture, the Subordination Agent shall promptly deposit such amounts in the Collection Account. The Subordination Agent will distribute promptly upon receipt thereof (or in the case of any such payment, compensation or reimbursement in respect of the Subordination Agent, will retain) (i) any indemnity payment received by it from American in respect of any Trustee, the Subordination Agent or any Liquidity Provider (collectively, the "Payees") and (ii) any compensation or reimbursement received by it from American or the Loan Trustee under any Operative Agreement in respect of any Payee (including, without limitation, any fees payable to any Liquidity Provider under Section 2.03 of any Liquidity Facility or other amounts referred to in clauses (a), (e) or (f) of Section 2.14 of any Indenture), in any such case directly to the Payee entitled thereto, provided that if such Payee has previously received from the Collection Account such payment, compensation or reimbursement, then the Subordination Agent shall deposit such amount in the Collection Account. 23
28 Section 2.04. Distributions of Special Payments. (a) Notice of Special Payment. Upon receipt by the Subordination Agent, as registered holder of the Equipment Notes, of any notice of a Special Payment (or, in the absence of any such notice, upon receipt by the Subordination Agent of a Special Payment), the Subordination Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to each Trustee and the Liquidity Providers. The Subordination Agent shall promptly calculate the amount of the prepayment (including upon Acceleration), redemption or purchase of Equipment Notes or the amount of any Overdue Scheduled Payment, as the case may be, comprising such Special Payment under the applicable Indenture or Indentures and shall promptly send to each Trustee a Written Notice of such amount and the amount allocable to each Trust. Such Written Notice shall also set the distribution date for such Special Payment (a "Special Distribution Date"), which shall be the first Business Day that follows the later to occur of (x) the 15th day after the date of such Written Notice or (y) the date the Subordination Agent has received or expects to receive such Special Payment. Amounts on deposit in the Special Payments Account shall be distributed in accordance with Sections 2.04(b) and 2.04(c) hereof, as applicable. (b) Redemptions, Purchases and Prepayments of Equipment Notes. (i) So long as no Triggering Event shall have occurred (whether or not continuing), the Subordination Agent shall make distributions pursuant to this Section 2.04(b) of amounts on deposit in the Special Payments Account on account of the redemption, purchase (including, without limitation, a purchase resulting from a sale of the Equipment Notes permitted by Article IV) or prepayment (including upon Acceleration) of all of the Equipment Notes issued pursuant to an Indenture on the Special Distribution Date for such Special Payment in the following order of priority: first, such amount as shall be required to pay (A) all accrued and unpaid Liquidity Expenses then in arrears plus (B) the product of (x) the aggregate amount of all accrued and unpaid Liquidity Expenses not in arrears to such Special Distribution Date multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Equipment Notes being redeemed, purchased or prepaid on such Special Distribution Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Equipment Notes, shall be distributed to the Liquidity Providers pro rata on the basis of the amount of Liquidity Expenses owed to each Liquidity Provider; second, such amount as shall be required to pay (A) all accrued and unpaid interest (including interest accrued and unpaid on any Interest Drawing or any Applied Provider Advance (as defined in any Liquidity Facility)) then in arrears on all Liquidity Obligations plus (B) the product of (x) the aggregate amount of all accrued and unpaid interest on all Liquidity Obligations not in arrears to such Special Distribution Date (at the rate provided in the applicable Liquidity Facility) multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Equipment Notes being redeemed, purchased or prepaid on such Special Distribution Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Equipment Notes, shall be distributed to the Liquidity Providers pro rata on the basis of the amount of accrued and unpaid interest owed to each Liquidity Provider; 24
29 third, such amount as shall be required (A) if any Cash Collateral Account has been previously funded as provided in Section 3.06(f), to fund such Cash Collateral Account up to its Required Amount shall be deposited in such Cash Collateral Account, (B) if any Liquidity Facility shall have become a Downgraded Facility or a Non-Extended Facility at a time when unreimbursed Interest Drawings under such Liquidity Facility have reduced the Available Amount thereunder to zero, to deposit into the related Cash Collateral Account an amount equal to such Cash Collateral Account's Required Amount shall be deposited in such Cash Collateral Account, and (C) if, with respect to any particular Liquidity Facility, neither subclause (A) nor subclause (B) of this clause "third" is applicable, to pay or reimburse the Liquidity Provider in respect of such Liquidity Facility in an amount equal to the amount of any unreimbursed Interest Drawings under such Liquidity Facility shall be distributed to such Liquidity Provider, in each case pro rata on the basis of the amounts of the required deposits and/or unreimbursed Interest Drawings; fourth, if, with respect to any particular Liquidity Facility, any amounts are to be distributed pursuant to either subclause (A) or (B) of clause "third" above, then the Liquidity Provider with respect to such Liquidity Facility shall be paid the excess of (x) the aggregate outstanding amount of unreimbursed Advances (whether or not then due) under such Liquidity Facility over (y) the Required Amount for the relevant Class, pro rata on the basis of such amounts in respect of each Liquidity Provider; fifth, if any Class A-1 Certificates or Class A-2 Certificates are Outstanding on such Special Distribution Date, such amount as shall be required to pay in full Expected Distributions to the holders of Class A-1 Certificates on such Special Distribution Date shall be distributed to the Class A-1 Trustee and such amount as shall be required to pay in full Expected Distributions to the holders of Class A-2 Certificates on such Special Distribution Date shall be distributed to the Class A-2 Trustee, pro rata on the basis of such amounts in respect of each such Class of Certificates; sixth, if any Class B Certificates are Outstanding on such Special Distribution Date, such amount as shall be required to pay in full Expected Distributions to the holders of Class B Certificates on such Special Distribution Date shall be distributed to the Class B Trustee; seventh, if any Class C Certificates are Outstanding on such Special Distribution Date, such amount as shall be required to pay in full Expected Distributions to the holders of Class C Certificates on such Special Distribution Date shall be distributed to the Class C Trustee; eighth, if the Class D Certificates have been issued and any Class D Certificates are Outstanding on such Special Distribution Date, such amount as shall be required to pay in full Expected Distributions to holders of Class D Certificates on such Special Distribution Date shall be distributed to the Class D Trustee; and ninth, the balance, if any, of such Special Payment shall be deposited in the Collection Account. 25
30 For the purposes of this Section 2.04(b), clause (x) of the definition of "Expected Distributions" shall be deemed to read as follows: "(x) accrued, due and unpaid interest in respect of such Certificates together with (without duplication) accrued and unpaid interest in respect of a portion of such Certificates equal to the outstanding principal amount of Equipment Notes being redeemed, purchased or prepaid (immediately prior to such redemption, purchase or prepayment)". (ii) Upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event (whether or not continuing), the Subordination Agent shall make distributions pursuant to this Section 2.04(b) of amounts on deposit in the Special Payments Account on account of the redemption, purchase or prepayment of the Equipment Notes issued pursuant to an Indenture on the Special Distribution Date for such Special Payment in accordance with Section 3.03. (c) Other Special Payments. Any amounts on deposit in the Special Payments Account other than in respect of amounts to be distributed pursuant to Section 2.04(b) shall be distributed on the Special Distribution Date therefor in accordance with Article III. (d) Investment of Amounts in Special Payments Account. Any amounts on deposit in the Special Payments Account prior to the distribution thereof pursuant to Section 2.04(b) or 2.04(c) shall be invested in accordance with Section 2.02(b).

Until each Liquidity Provider and Trustee receives a subsequent Subordination Agent Incumbency Certificate, it shall be entitled to rely on the last Subordination Agent Incumbency Certificate delivered to it hereunder. (b) With the delivery of this Agreement, each Trustee shall furnish to the Subordination Agent, and from time to time thereafter may furnish to the Subordination Agent, at such Trustee's discretion, or upon the Subordination Agent's request (which request shall not be made more than one time in any 12-month period), a certificate (with respect to each such Trustee, a "Trustee Incumbency Certificate") of a Responsible Officer of such Trustee certifying as to the incumbency and specimen signatures of the officers of such Trustee and the attorney-in-fact and agents of such Trustee (with respect to each such Trustee, the "Trustee Representatives") authorized to give Written Notices on behalf of such Trustee hereunder. Until the Subordination Agent receives a subsequent Trustee Incumbency Certificate from a Trustee, it shall be entitled to rely on the last Trustee Incumbency Certificate with respect to such Trustee delivered to it hereunder. 26
31 (c) With the delivery of this Agreement, each Liquidity Provider shall furnish to the Subordination Agent, and from time to time thereafter may furnish to the Subordination Agent, at such Liquidity Provider's discretion, or upon the Subordination Agent's request (which request shall not be made more than one time in any 12-month period), a certificate (with respect to each such Liquidity Provider, an "LP Incumbency Certificate") of a Responsible Officer of such Liquidity Provider certifying as to the incumbency and specimen signatures of the officers of such Liquidity Provider and the attorney-in-fact and agents of such Liquidity Provider (with respect to each such Liquidity Provider, the "LP Representatives" and, together with the Subordination Agent Representatives and the Trustee Representatives, the "Designated Representatives") authorized to give Written Notices on behalf of such Liquidity Provider hereunder. Until the Subordination Agent receives a subsequent LP Incumbency Certificate from a Liquidity Provider, it shall be entitled to rely on the last LP Incumbency Certificate with respect to such Liquidity Provider delivered to it hereunder. Section 2.06. Controlling Party. (a) The Trustees and the Liquidity Providers hereby agree that, with respect to any Indenture at any given time, the Loan Trustee thereunder will be directed (i) in taking, or refraining from taking, any action under such Indenture or with respect to the Equipment Notes issued thereunder, so long as no Indenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing thereunder, by the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding principal amount of such Equipment Notes (provided that, for so long as the Subordination Agent is the registered holder of such Equipment Notes, the Subordination Agent shall act with respect to this clause (i) in accordance with the directions of the Trustees of Trusts for which the related Trust Properties include, in the aggregate, such a majority of outstanding principal amount of such Equipment Notes), and (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Indenture Event of Default thereunder, in taking, or refraining from taking, any action under such Indenture or with respect to such Equipment Notes, including exercising remedies thereunder (including Accelerating the Equipment Notes issued thereunder or foreclosing the Lien created thereunder on the Aircraft securing such Equipment Notes), by the Subordination Agent as directed by the Controlling Party. (b) The Person who shall be the "Controlling Party" with respect to any Indenture shall be: (w) initially, the Class A-1 Trustee or the Class A-2 Trustee, whichever represents the Class with the larger Pool Balance of Certificates Outstanding at the time such Indenture Event of Default occurs (whether or not any other Indenture Event of Default shall thereafter occur so long as such initial Indenture Event of Default shall continue); (x) upon payment of Final Distributions to the holders of Certificates of such larger Class, the other of the Class A-1 Trustee or the Class A-2 Trustee; (y) upon payment of Final Distributions to the holders of Class A-1 Certificates and Class A-2 Certificates, the Class B Trustee; and (z) upon payment of Final Distributions to the holders of Class B Certificates, the Class C Trustee. For purposes of giving effect to the foregoing, the Trustees (other than the Controlling Party) irrevocably agree (and the Certificateholders (other than the Certificateholders represented by the Controlling Party) shall be deemed to agree by virtue of their purchase of Certificates) that the Subordination Agent, as record holder of the Equipment Notes, shall exercise its voting rights in respect of the Equipment Notes as directed by the Controlling Party and any vote so exercised shall be binding upon the Trustees and all Certificateholders. 27
32 The Subordination Agent shall give written notice to all of the other parties to this Agreement promptly upon a change in the identity of the Controlling Party. Each of the parties hereto agrees that it shall not exercise any of the rights of the Controlling Party at such time as it is not the Controlling Party hereunder; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall prevent or prohibit any Non-Controlling Party from exercising such rights as shall be specifically granted to such Non-Controlling Party hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements. (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time after 18 months from the earliest to occur of (i) the date on which the entire Available Amount under any Liquidity Facility shall have been drawn (for any reason other than a Downgrade Drawing or a Non-Extension Drawing) and remain unreimbursed, (ii) the date on which the entire amount of any Downgrade Drawing or Non-Extension Drawing under any Liquidity Facility shall have become and remain "Applied Downgrade Advances" or "Applied Non-Extension Advances", as the case may be, under and as defined in such Liquidity Facility and (iii) the date on which all Equipment Notes shall have been Accelerated, the Liquidity Provider(s) with the greatest amount of unreimbursed Liquidity Obligations shall have the right to elect, by Written Notice to the Subordination Agent and each of the Trustees, to become the Controlling Party hereunder with respect to any Indenture at any time from and including the last day of such 18-month period. (d) The exercise of remedies by the Controlling Party under this Agreement shall be expressly limited by Section 4.01(a)(ii). (e) The Controlling Party shall not be entitled to require or obligate any Non-Controlling Party to provide funds necessary to exercise any right or remedy hereunder. (f) Notwithstanding anything contained herein, neither the Controlling Party nor the Subordination Agent shall be authorized or empowered to do anything that would cause any Trust to fail to qualify as a "grantor trust" for federal income tax purposes.

(New York City time) on the Business Day immediately preceding each Regular Distribution Date (or Special Distribution Date for purposes of Section 2.04(b), as the case may be), each of the following Persons shall deliver to the Subordination Agent a Written Notice setting forth the following information as at the close of business on such Business Day: (i) With respect to the Class A-1 Certificates and the Class A-2 Certificates, if any are then Outstanding, the Class A-1 Trustee and the Class A-2 Trustee, respectively, shall separately set 28

(c) Downgrade Drawings. The Liquidity Provider will promptly, but in any event within ten days of its receipt of notice thereof, deliver notice of any downgrading of its debt ratings to the Subordination Agent and American. If at any time the short-term unsecured debt rating of any Liquidity Provider issued by either Rating Agency (or, if such Liquidity Provider does not have a short-term unsecured debt rating issued by a given Rating Agency, the long-term unsecured debt rating of such Liquidity Provider issued by such Rating Agency) is lower than the applicable Threshold Rating, within 30 days after such Liquidity Provider receives notice of such downgrading (or within 45 days after its receipt of such notice solely in the event of a downgrading of such Liquidity Provider's short-term unsecured debt rating by S&P from A-1+ to A-1) (but not later than the expiration date of the Liquidity Facility issued by the downgraded Liquidity Provider (the "Downgraded Facility")), such Liquidity Provider or American may arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Provider to issue and deliver a Replacement Liquidity Facility to the Subordination Agent. If a Downgraded Facility has not been replaced in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the 36
41 Subordination Agent shall, on such 30th (or 45th) day (or if such 30th (or 45th) day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day) (or, if earlier, on the expiration date of such Downgraded Facility), request a drawing in accordance with and to the extent permitted by such Downgraded Facility (such drawing, a "Downgrade Drawing") of all available and undrawn amounts thereunder. Amounts drawn pursuant to a Downgrade Drawing shall be maintained and invested as provided in Section 3.06(f). Subject to Section 3.06(e)(iii), the Liquidity Provider may also arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Provider to issue and deliver a Replacement Liquidity Facility at any time after such Downgrade Drawing so long as such Downgrade Drawing has not been reimbursed in full to the Liquidity Provider. (d) Non-Extension Drawings. If any Liquidity Facility with respect to any Class of Certificates is scheduled to expire on a date (the "Stated Expiration Date") prior to the date that is 15 days after the Final Legal Distribution Date for such Class of Certificates, then no earlier than the 60th day and no later than the 40th day prior to the then applicable Stated Expiration Date, the Subordination Agent shall request in writing that such Liquidity Provider extend the Stated Expiration Date to the earlier of (i) the date that is 15 days after the Final Legal Distribution Date for such Class of Certificates and (ii) the date that is the day immediately preceding the 364th day after the last day of the Consent Period (unless the obligations of such Liquidity Provider thereunder are earlier terminated in accordance with such Liquidity Facility). The Liquidity Provider shall by notice (the "Consent Notice") to the Subordination Agent during the period commencing on the date that is 60 days prior to the then effective Stated Expiration Date and ending on the date that is 25 days prior to such Stated Expiration Date (the "Consent Period") advise the Subordination Agent whether, in its sole discretion, it agrees to so extend the Stated Expiration Date; provided, however, that such extension shall not be effective with respect to such Liquidity Provider if, by notice (the "Withdrawal Notice") to the Subordination Agent prior to the end of the Consent Period, the Liquidity Provider revokes its Consent Notice. If the Liquidity Provider advises the Subordination Agent in the Consent Notice that such Stated Expiration Date shall not be so extended or gives a Withdrawal Notice to the Subordination Agent prior to the end of the Consent Period, or fails to irrevocably and unconditionally advise the Subordination Agent on or before the end of the Consent Period that such Stated Expiration Date shall be so extended (and, in each case, if the Liquidity Provider shall not have been replaced in accordance with Section 3.06(e)), the Subordination Agent shall, on the date on which the Consent Period ends (or as soon as possible thereafter but prior to the Stated Expiration Date), in accordance with and to the extent permitted by the terms of the expiring Liquidity Facility (a "Non-Extended Facility"), request a drawing under such expiring Liquidity Facility (such drawing, a "Non-Extension Drawing") of all available and undrawn amounts thereunder. Amounts drawn pursuant to a Non-Extension Drawing shall be maintained and invested in accordance with Section 3.06(f). If any amounts shall be drawn pursuant to a Non-Extension Drawing and, within 30 days thereafter, the Liquidity Provider shall not have been replaced, then at any time following the 30th day after such Non-Extension Drawing, the Liquidity Provider may, by written notice to the Subordination Agent, agree to reinstate the Liquidity Facility on the terms of the existing Liquidity Facility for a period ending on the 364th day after the end of the Consent Period; provided, however, that in such event the Liquidity Provider shall reimburse the Subordination Agent for any costs actually incurred by or on behalf of the Subordination Agent in 37
42 drawing pursuant to the Non-Extension Drawing and funding the Cash Collateral Account or otherwise in connection with the Non-Extension Drawing. (e) Issuance of Replacement Liquidity Facility. (i) Subject to Section 3.06(e)(iii), at any time, American may, at its option, with cause or without cause, arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility to replace any Liquidity Facility for any Class of Certificates (including any Replacement Liquidity Facility provided pursuant to Section 3.06(e)(ii)); provided, however, that if the initial Liquidity Provider is replaced it shall be replaced with respect to all Liquidity Facilities under which it is a Liquidity Provider, and provided further, however, that the initial Liquidity Provider shall not be replaced by American as the Liquidity Provider with respect to any Class of Certificates prior to the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date unless (A) there shall have become due to the initial Liquidity Provider, or the initial Liquidity Provider shall have demanded, amounts pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.03 of any Liquidity Facility and the replacement of the initial Liquidity Provider would reduce or eliminate the obligation to pay such amounts or American determines in good faith that there is a substantial likelihood that the initial Liquidity Provider will have the right to claim any such amounts within 180 days after the date of such determination (unless the initial Liquidity Provider waives, in writing, any right it may have to claim such amounts), which determination shall be set forth in a certificate delivered by American to the initial Liquidity Provider accompanied by an opinion of outside counsel selected by American and reasonably acceptable to such initial Liquidity Provider verifying the legal conclusions, if any, of such certificate relating to such basis, provided that in the case of any likely claim for amounts based upon any proposed, or proposed change in, law, rule, regulation, interpretation, directive, requirement, request or administrative practice, such opinion may assume the adoption or promulgation of such proposed matter, (B) it shall become unlawful or impossible for the initial Liquidity Provider to maintain or fund its LIBOR Advances as described in Section 3.10 of any Liquidity Facility, (C) the short-term unsecured debt rating of the initial Liquidity Provider is downgraded by S&P from A-1+ to A-1 and there is a resulting downgrade in the rating by either Rating Agency of any Class of Certificates, (D) any Liquidity Facility of such initial Liquidity Provider shall become a Downgraded Facility or a Non-Extended Facility or a Downgrade Drawing or a Non-Extension Drawing shall have occurred under any Liquidity Facility or (E) the initial Liquidity Provider shall have breached any of its payment (including, without limitation, funding) obligations under any Liquidity Facility. If such Replacement Liquidity Facility is provided at any time after a Downgrade Drawing or a Non-Extension Drawing has been made, all funds on deposit in the relevant Cash Collateral Account resulting from such Downgrade Drawing or Non-Extension Drawing will be returned to the Liquidity Provider being replaced. (ii) If any Liquidity Provider shall determine not to extend its Liquidity Facility in accordance with Section 3.06(d), then such Liquidity Provider may, at its option, arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility to replace such Liquidity Facility during the period no earlier than 40 days and no later than 25 days prior to the then effective Stated Expiration Date of such Liquidity Facility. 38
43 (iii) No Replacement Liquidity Facility arranged by American or a Liquidity Provider in accordance with Section 3.06(c) or clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 3.06(e) shall become effective and no such Replacement Liquidity Facility shall be deemed a "Liquidity Facility" under the Operative Agreements, unless and until (A) each of the conditions referred to in Section 3.06(e)(iv) below shall have been satisfied and (B) in the case of a Replacement Liquidity Facility arranged by a Liquidity Provider under Section 3.06(c) or Section 3.06(e)(ii), such Replacement Liquidity Provider and such Replacement Liquidity Facility (including the fees and compensation and interest payable thereunder to the Replacement Liquidity Provider) are acceptable to American. (iv) In connection with the issuance of each Replacement Liquidity Facility, the Subordination Agent shall (x) prior to the issuance of such Replacement Liquidity Facility, obtain written confirmation from each Rating Agency that such Replacement Liquidity Facility will not cause a reduction of any rating then in effect for any Class of Certificates by such Rating Agency (without regard to any downgrading of any rating of any Liquidity Provider being replaced pursuant to Section 3.06(c)), (y) pay all Liquidity Obligations then owing to the replaced Liquidity Provider (which payment shall be made first from available funds in the applicable Cash Collateral Account as described in Section 3.06(f)(ix), and thereafter from any other available source, including, without limitation, a drawing under the Replacement Liquidity Facility) and (z) cause the issuer of the Replacement Liquidity Facility to deliver the Replacement Liquidity Facility to the Subordination Agent, together with a legal opinion addressed to the Subordination Agent, the Trustees and American opining that such Replacement Liquidity Facility is an enforceable obligation of such Replacement Liquidity Provider. (v) Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 3.06(e)(iii) and 3.06(e)(iv), (w) the replaced Liquidity Facility shall terminate, (x) the Subordination Agent shall, if and to the extent so requested by American or the Liquidity Provider being replaced, execute and deliver any certificate or other instrument required in order to terminate the replaced Liquidity Facility, shall surrender the replaced Liquidity Facility to the Liquidity Provider being replaced and shall execute and deliver the Replacement Liquidity Facility and any associated Fee Letter, (y) each of the parties hereto shall enter into any amendments to this Agreement necessary to give effect to (1) the replacement of the applicable Liquidity Provider with the applicable Replacement Liquidity Provider and (2) the replacement of the applicable Liquidity Facility with the applicable Replacement Liquidity Facility and (z) the applicable Replacement Liquidity Provider shall be deemed to be a Liquidity Provider with the rights and obligations of a Liquidity Provider hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements and such Replacement Liquidity Facility shall be deemed to be a Liquidity Facility hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements. (f) Cash Collateral Accounts; Withdrawals; Investments. If the Subordination Agent shall draw all available amounts under the Class A-1 Liquidity Facility, the Class A-2 Liquidity Facility, the Class B Liquidity Facility or the Class C Liquidity Facility pursuant to Section 3.06(c), 3.06(d) or 3.06(i), or in the event amounts are to be deposited in the Cash Collateral Account pursuant to subclause (A) or (B) of clause "third" of Section 2.04(b), subclause (A) or (B) of clause "third" of Section 3.02 or subclause (A) or (B) of clause "fourth" of Section 3.03, amounts so drawn 39
44 or to be deposited, as the case may be, shall be deposited by the Subordination Agent in the Class A-1 Cash Collateral Account, the Class A-2 Cash Collateral Account, the Class B Cash Collateral Account or the Class C Cash Collateral Account, respectively. All amounts on deposit in each Cash Collateral Account shall be invested and reinvested in Eligible Investments in accordance with Section 2.02(b). On each Interest Payment Date (or, in the case of any Special Distribution Date occurring prior to the occurrence of a Triggering Event, on such Special Distribution Date), Investment Earnings on amounts on deposit in each Cash Collateral Account (or in the case of any Special Distribution Date occurring prior to the occurrence of a Triggering Event, an amount of such Investment Earnings on amounts of deposits in each Cash Collateral Account equal to the product of such Investment Earnings multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Equipment Notes being redeemed, purchased or prepaid on such Special Distribution Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Equipment Notes) shall be deposited in the Collection Account (or, in the case of any Special Distribution Date occurring prior to the occurrence of a Triggering Event, the Special Payments Account) and applied on such Interest Payment Date (or Special Distribution Date, as the case may be) in accordance with Section 2.04(b), 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04(b) (as applicable). The Subordination Agent shall deliver a written statement to American and the Liquidity Provider one day prior to each Interest Payment Date and Special Distribution Date setting forth the aggregate amount of Investment Earnings held in the Cash Collateral Accounts as of such date.

In the event that, with respect to any particular Liquidity Facility, (i) funds are withdrawn from any Cash Collateral Account pursuant to clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of Section 3.06(f) or (ii) such Liquidity Facility shall become a Downgraded Facility or a Non-Extended Facility at a time when unreimbursed Interest Drawings under such Liquidity Facility have reduced the Available Amount thereunder to zero, then funds received by the Subordination Agent at any time, other than (x) any time when both a Performing Note Deficiency exists and a Liquidity Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to such Liquidity Facility or (y) any time after a Final Drawing shall have occurred with respect to such Liquidity Facility, shall be deposited in such Cash Collateral Account as and to the extent provided in clause "third" of Section 2.04(b), clause "third" of Section 3.02 or clause "fourth" of Section 3.03, as applicable, and applied in accordance with Section 3.06(f).

Upon receipt from a Liquidity Provider of a Termination Notice with respect to any Liquidity Facility, the Subordination Agent shall, not later than the date specified in such Termination Notice, in accordance with and to the extent permitted by the terms of such Liquidity Facility, request a drawing under such Liquidity Facility of all available and undrawn amounts thereunder (a "Final Drawing"). Amounts drawn pursuant to a Final Drawing shall be maintained and invested in accordance with Section 3.06(f). (j) Reduction of Stated Amount. Promptly following each date on which the Required Amount of the Liquidity Facility for a Class of Certificates is reduced as a result of a reduction in the Pool Balance with respect to such Certificates, the Subordination Agent shall, if any such Liquidity Facility provides for reductions of the Stated Amount of such Liquidity Facility and if such reductions are not automatic, request such Liquidity Provider for such Class of Certificates to reduce such Stated Amount to an amount equal to the Required Amount with respect to such Liquidity Facility (as calculated by the Subordination Agent after giving effect to such payment). Each such request shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Liquidity Facility. (k) Relation to Subordination Provisions. Interest Drawings under the Liquidity Facilities and withdrawals from the Cash Collateral Accounts, in each case, in respect of interest on the Certificates of any Class, will be distributed to the Trustee for such Class of Certificates, notwithstanding Sections 2.04(b), 3.02, 3.03 and 3.06. (l) Assignment of Liquidity Facility. The Subordination Agent agrees not to consent to the assignment by any Liquidity Provider of any of its rights or obligations under any Liquidity 43
48 Facility or any interest therein unless (i) American shall have consented to such assignment and (ii) each Rating Agency shall have provided a Ratings Confirmation in respect of such assignment. ARTICLE IV EXERCISE OF REMEDIES Section 4.01. Directions from the Controlling Party. (a) (i) Following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Indenture Event of Default under any Indenture, the Controlling Party shall direct the Subordination Agent, which in turn shall direct the Loan Trustee under such Indenture, in the exercise of remedies available to the holders of the Equipment Notes issued pursuant to such Indenture, including, without limitation, the ability to vote all such Equipment Notes in favor of Accelerating such Equipment Notes in accordance with the provisions of such Indenture. If the Equipment Notes issued pursuant to any Indenture have been Accelerated following an Indenture Event of Default with respect thereto, the Controlling Party may direct the Subordination Agent to sell, assign, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver all (but not less than all) of such Equipment Notes to any Person at public or private sale, at any location at the option of the Controlling Party, all upon such terms and conditions as it may reasonably deem advisable and in accordance with applicable law. (ii) So long as any Certificates remain Outstanding, during the period ending on the date which is nine months after the earlier of (x) the Acceleration of the Equipment Notes issued pursuant to any Indenture or (y) the occurrence of an American Bankruptcy Event, without the consent of each Trustee, no Aircraft subject to the Lien of such Indenture or such Equipment Notes may be sold if the net proceeds from such sale would be less than the Minimum Sale Price for such Aircraft or such Equipment Notes. (iii) At the request of the Controlling Party, the Subordination Agent may from time to time during the continuance of an Indenture Event of Default (and before the occurrence of a Triggering Event) commission an LTV Appraisal with respect to the Aircraft subject to such Indenture. (iv) After a Triggering Event occurs and any Equipment Note becomes a Non-Performing Equipment Note, the Subordination Agent shall obtain Appraisals with respect to all of the Aircraft (the "LTV Appraisals") as soon as practicable and additional LTV Appraisals on or prior to each anniversary of the date of such initial LTV Appraisals; provided that, if the Controlling Party reasonably objects to the appraised value of the Aircraft shown in such LTV Appraisals, the Controlling Party shall have the right to obtain or cause to be obtained substitute LTV Appraisals (including any LTV Appraisals based upon physical inspection of the Aircraft). (b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Subordination Agent, at the direction of the Controlling Party, shall take such actions as it may reasonably deem most effectual to complete the sale or other disposition of such Aircraft or Equipment Notes. In addition, in lieu of 44
49 any sale, assignment, contract to sell or other disposition, if the Subordination Agent is so directed by the Controlling Party, the Subordination Agent may maintain possession of such Equipment Notes and continue to apply monies received in respect of such Equipment Notes in accordance with Section 2.04(b) and Article III. In addition, in lieu of such sale, assignment, contract to sell or other disposition, or in lieu of such maintenance of possession, the Controlling Party may direct the Subordination Agent to, subject to the terms and conditions of the related Indenture, instruct the Loan Trustee under such Indenture to foreclose on the Lien on the related Aircraft or take any other remedial action permitted by such Indenture or applicable law. Section 4.02. Remedies Cumulative. Each and every right, power and remedy given to the Trustees, the Liquidity Providers, the Controlling Party or the Subordination Agent specifically or otherwise in this Agreement shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may, subject always to the terms and conditions hereof, be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by any Trustee, any Liquidity Provider, the Controlling Party or the Subordination Agent, as appropriate, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy. No delay or omission by any Trustee, any Liquidity Provider, the Controlling Party or the Subordination Agent in the exercise of any right, remedy or power or in the pursuit of any remedy shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any default or to be an acquiescence therein. Section 4.03. Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case any party to this Agreement (including the Controlling Party in such capacity) shall have instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Agreement by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such Proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Person instituting such Proceeding, then and in every such case each such party shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored to its former position and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of such party shall continue as if no such Proceeding had been instituted. Section 4.04. Right of Certificateholders to Receive Payments Not to Be Impaired. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and each Trust Agreement, the right of any Certificateholder or any Liquidity Provider, respectively, to receive payments hereunder (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.04, 3.02 or 3.03) when due, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the applicable Distribution Date, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Certificateholder or such Liquidity Provider, respectively. 45

If a Notice of Borrowing is delivered by the Borrower in respect of any Borrowing no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day, upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 with respect to a requested Borrowing, the Liquidity Provider shall make available to the Borrower, in accordance with its payment instructions, the amount of such Borrowing in Dollars and immediately available funds, before 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day or before 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such later Business Day specified in such Notice of Borrowing. If a Notice of 9
13 Borrowing is delivered by the Borrower in respect of any Borrowing after 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day, upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 with respect to a requested Borrowing, the Liquidity Provider shall make available to the Borrower, in accordance with its payment instructions, the amount of such Borrowing in Dollars and immediately available funds, before 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the first Business Day next following the day of receipt of such Notice of Borrowing or on such later Business Day specified by the Borrower in such Notice of Borrowing. Payments of proceeds of a Borrowing shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Borrower in accordance with such wire transfer instructions as the Borrower shall furnish from time to time to the Liquidity Provider for such purpose. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be effective upon delivery of a copy thereof to the Liquidity Provider's New York branch at the address specified in Section 7.02 hereof. (f) Upon the making of any Advance requested pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing in accordance with the Borrower's payment instructions, the Liquidity Provider shall be fully discharged of its obligation hereunder with respect to such Notice of Borrowing, and the Liquidity Provider shall not thereafter be obligated to make any further Advances hereunder in respect of such Notice of Borrowing to the Borrower or to any other Person (including the Trustee or any Class A-1 Certificateholder). If the Liquidity Provider makes an Advance requested pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing before 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the second Business Day after the date of payment specified in said Section 2.02(e), the Liquidity Provider shall have fully discharged its obligations hereunder with respect to such Advance and an event of default shall not have occurred hereunder. Following the making of any Advance pursuant to Section 2.02(b), 2.02(c) or 2.02(d) to fund the Class A-1 Cash Collateral Account, the Liquidity Provider shall have no interest in or rights to the Class A-1 Cash Collateral Account, such Advance or any other amounts from time to time on deposit in the Class A-1 Cash Collateral Account; provided that the foregoing shall not affect or impair the obligations of the Subordination Agent to make the distributions contemplated by Section 3.06(e) or 3.06(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement and provided further, that the foregoing shall not affect or impair the rights of the Liquidity Provider to provide written instructions with respect to the investment and reinvestment of amounts in the Class A-1 Cash Collateral Account to the extent provided in Section 2.02(b) of the Intercreditor Agreement. By paying to the Borrower proceeds of Advances requested by the Borrower in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Liquidity Provider makes no representation as to, and assumes no responsibility for, the correctness or sufficiency for any purpose of the amount of the Advances so made and requested. Section 2.03. Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Liquidity Provider the fees set forth in the Fee Letter. Section 2.04. Reduction or Termination of the Maximum Commitment. (a) Automatic Reduction. Promptly following each date on which the Required Amount is reduced as a result of a reduction in the Pool Balance of the Class A-1 Certificates or otherwise, the Maximum Commitment shall automatically be reduced to an amount equal to such reduced Required Amount (as calculated by the Borrower). The Borrower shall give notice of any such automatic reduction of 10
14 the Maximum Commitment to the Liquidity Provider and American within two Business Days thereof. The failure by the Borrower to furnish any such notice shall not affect such automatic reduction of the Maximum Commitment. (b) Termination. Upon the making of any Provider Advance or Final Advance hereunder or the occurrence of the Termination Date, the obligation of the Liquidity Provider to make further Advances hereunder shall automatically and irrevocably terminate, and the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any further Borrowing hereunder. Section 2.05. Repayments of Interest Advances or the Final Advance. Subject to Sections 2.06, 2.07 and 2.09 hereof, the Borrower hereby agrees, without notice of an Advance or demand for repayment from the Liquidity Provider (which notice and demand are hereby waived by the Borrower), to pay, or to cause to be paid, to the Liquidity Provider (a) on each date on which the Liquidity Provider shall make an Interest Advance or the Final Advance, an amount equal to the amount of such Advance (any such Advance, until repaid, is referred to herein as an "Unpaid Advance"), plus (b) interest on the amount of each such Unpaid Advance in the amounts and on the dates determined as provided in Section 3.07; provided that if (i) the Liquidity Provider shall make a Provider Advance at any time after making one or more Interest Advances which shall not have been repaid in accordance with this Section 2.05 or (ii) this Liquidity Facility shall become a Downgraded Facility or Non-Extended Facility at any time when unreimbursed Interest Advances have reduced the Maximum Available Commitment to zero, then such Interest Advances shall cease to constitute Unpaid Advances and shall be deemed to have been changed into an Applied Downgrade Advance or an Applied Non-Extension Advance, as the case may be, for all purposes of this Agreement (including, without limitation, for the purpose of determining when such Interest Advance is required to be repaid to the Liquidity Provider in accordance with Section 2.06 and for the purposes of Section 2.06(b)). The Borrower and the Liquidity Provider agree that the repayment in full of each Interest Advance and Final Advance on the date such Advance is made is intended to be a contemporaneous exchange for new value given to the Borrower by the Liquidity Provider. For the avoidance of doubt, interest payable on an Interest Advance or the Final Advance shall not be regarded as overdue unless such interest is not paid when due under Section 3.07. Section 2.06. Repayments of Provider Advances. (a) Amounts advanced hereunder in respect of a Provider Advance shall be deposited in the Class A-1 Cash Collateral Account and invested and withdrawn from the Class A-1 Cash Collateral Account as set forth in Sections 3.06(c), 3.06(d), 3.06(e) and 3.06(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement. Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Liquidity Provider, on each Regular Distribution Date, commencing on the first Regular Distribution Date after the making of a Provider Advance, interest on the principal amount of any such Provider Advance, in the amounts determined as provided in Section 3.07; provided, however, that amounts in respect of a Provider Advance withdrawn from the Class A-1 Cash Collateral Account for the purpose of paying interest on the Class A-1 Certificates in accordance with Section 3.06(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement (the amount of any such withdrawal being (y) in the case of a Downgrade Advance, an "Applied Downgrade Advance" and (z) in the case of a Non-Extension Advance, an "Applied Non-Extension Advance" and, together with an Applied 11
15 Downgrade Advance, an "Applied Provider Advance") shall thereafter (subject to Section 2.06(b)) be treated as an Interest Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon and the dates on which such interest is payable; provided further, however, that if, following the making of a Provider Advance, the Liquidity Provider delivers a Termination Notice to the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.01, such Provider Advance shall thereafter be treated as a Final Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon and the dates on which such interest is payable. Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09 hereof, immediately upon the withdrawal of any amounts from the Class A-1 Cash Collateral Account on account of a reduction in the Required Amount, the Borrower shall repay to the Liquidity Provider a portion of the Provider Advances in a principal amount equal to such reduction, plus interest on the principal amount prepaid as provided in Section 3.07. (b) At any time when an Applied Provider Advance (or any portion thereof) is outstanding, upon the deposit in the Class A-1 Cash Collateral Account of any amount pursuant to clause "third" of Section 2.04(b) of the Intercreditor Agreement, clause "third" of Section 3.02 of the Intercreditor Agreement or clause "fourth" of Section 3.03 of the Intercreditor Agreement (any such amount being a "Replenishment Amount") for the purpose of replenishing or increasing the balance thereof up to the Required Amount at such time, (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Applied Provider Advances (and of Provider Advances treated as an Interest Advance for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon) shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such Replenishment Amount and (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Unapplied Provider Advances shall be automatically increased by the amount of such Replenishment Amount. (c) Upon the provision of a Replacement Liquidity Facility in replacement of this Agreement in accordance with Section 3.06(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement, as provided in Section 3.06(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement, amounts remaining on deposit in the Class A-1 Cash Collateral Account after giving effect to any Applied Provider Advance on the date of such replacement shall be reimbursed to the Liquidity Provider, but only to the extent such amounts are necessary to repay in full to the Liquidity Provider all amounts owing to it hereunder. Section 2.07. Payments to the Liquidity Provider Under the Intercreditor Agreement. In order to provide for payment or repayment to the Liquidity Provider of any amounts hereunder, the Intercreditor Agreement provides that amounts available and referred to in Articles II and III of the Intercreditor Agreement, to the extent payable to the Liquidity Provider pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 3.06(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement), shall be paid to the Liquidity Provider in accordance with the terms thereof (but, for the avoidance of doubt, without duplication of or increase in any amounts payable hereunder). Amounts so paid to the Liquidity Provider shall be applied by the Liquidity Provider in the order of priority required by the applicable provisions of Articles II and III of the Intercreditor Agreement and shall discharge in full the corresponding obligations of the Borrower hereunder. 12
16 Section 2.08. Book Entries. The Liquidity Provider shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from Advances made from time to time and the amounts of principal and interest payable hereunder and paid from time to time in respect thereof; provided, however, that the failure by the Liquidity Provider to maintain such account or accounts shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower in respect of Advances. Section 2.09. Payments from Available Funds Only. All payments to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made only from the amounts that constitute Scheduled Payments, Special Payments and other payments under the Operative Agreements, including payment under Section 4.02 of the Participation Agreements and payments under Section 2.14 of the Indentures, and only to the extent that the Borrower shall have sufficient income or proceeds therefrom to enable the Borrower to make payments in accordance with the terms hereof after giving effect to the priority of payments provisions set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement. The Liquidity Provider agrees that it will look solely to such amounts to the extent available for distribution to it as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement and that the Borrower, in its individual capacity, is not personally liable to it for any amounts payable or liability under this Agreement except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Participation Agreement. Amounts on deposit in the Class A-1 Cash Collateral Account shall be available to the Borrower to make payments under this Agreement only to the extent and for the purposes expressly contemplated in Section 3.06(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement. Section 2.10. Extension of the Expiry Date; Non-Extension Advance. If the Expiry Date is prior to the date that is 15 days after the Final Legal Distribution Date for the Class A-1 Certificates, then no earlier than the 60th day and no later than the 40th day prior to the then applicable Expiry Date, the Borrower may request in writing that the Liquidity Provider extend the Expiry Date to the earlier of (i) the date that is 15 days after the Final Legal Distribution Date for the Class A-1 Certificates and (ii) the date that is the day immediately preceding the 364th day after the last day of the Consent Period (unless the obligations of the Liquidity Provider hereunder are earlier terminated in accordance herewith). The Liquidity Provider shall by notice (the "Consent Notice") to the Borrower during the period commencing on the date that is 60 days prior to the then effective Expiry Date and ending on the date that is 25 days prior to the then effective Expiry Date (the "Consent Period") advise the Borrower whether, in its sole discretion, it agrees to so extend the Expiry Date; provided, however, that such extension shall not be effective with respect to the Liquidity Provider if, by notice (the "Withdrawal Notice") to the Borrower prior to the end of the Consent Period, the Liquidity Provider revokes its Consent Notice. If the Liquidity Provider advises the Borrower in the Consent Notice that such Expiry Date shall not be so extended, or gives a Withdrawal Notice to the Borrower prior to the end of the Consent Period, or fails to irrevocably and unconditionally advise the Borrower on or before the end of the Consent Period that such Expiry Date shall be so extended (and, in each case, if the Liquidity Provider shall not have been replaced in accordance with Section 3.06(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement), the Borrower shall be entitled on and after the date on which the Consent Period ends (but prior to the then effective Expiry Date) to request a Non-Extension Advance in accordance with Section 2.02(b) hereof and Section 3.06(d) of the Intercreditor 13
17 Agreement. If any amounts shall be drawn pursuant to a Non-Extension Advance and, within 30 days thereafter, the Liquidity Provider shall not have been replaced, then at any time following the 30th day after such Non-Extension Advance, the Liquidity Provider may, by written notice to the Borrower, agree to reinstate the Liquidity Facility on the terms of the existing Liquidity Facility for a period ending on the 364th day after the end of the Consent Period; provided, however, that in such event the Liquidity Provider shall reimburse the Borrower for any costs actually incurred by or on behalf of the Borrower in drawing pursuant to the Non-Extension Advance and funding the Class A-1 Cash Collateral Account or otherwise in connection with the Non-Extension Advance. ARTICLE III OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER Section 3.01. Increased Costs. If as a result of any Regulatory Change there shall be any increase by an amount reasonably deemed by the Liquidity Provider to be material in the actual cost to the Liquidity Provider of making, funding or maintaining any Advances or its obligation to make any such Advances or there shall be any reduction by an amount reasonably deemed by the Liquidity Provider to be material in the amount receivable by the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement in respect thereof, and in case of either such an increase or reduction, such event does not arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Liquidity Provider, from its breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein or in the Intercreditor Agreement or from its failure to comply with any such Regulatory Change (any such increase or reduction being referred to herein as an "Increased Cost"), then the Borrower shall from time to time pay to the Liquidity Provider an amount equal to such Increased Cost within 15 Business Days after delivery to the Borrower and American of a certificate of an officer of the Liquidity Provider describing in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it claims such Increased Cost and the basis for the determination of the amount of such Increased Cost; provided that, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay amounts only with respect to any Increased Costs accruing from the date 45 days prior to the date of delivery of such certificate. Such certificate, in the absence of manifest error, shall be considered prima facie evidence of the amount for purposes of this Agreement; provided that any determinations and allocations by the Liquidity Provider of the effect of any Regulatory Change on the costs of maintaining the Advances are made on a reasonable basis. The Liquidity Provider shall not be entitled to assert any claim under this Section 3.01 in respect of or attributable to Taxes. The Liquidity Provider will notify the Borrower and American as promptly as practicable of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement that will entitle the Liquidity Provider to compensation under this Section 3.01. The Liquidity Provider agrees to investigate all commercially reasonable alternatives for reducing any Increased Costs and to use all commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or minimize, to the greatest extent possible, any claim in respect of Increased Costs, including, without limitation, by designating a different Lending Office, if such designation or other action would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such claim; provided that the foregoing shall not obligate the Liquidity Provider to take any action that would, in its reasonable judgment, cause the Liquidity Provider to incur any material loss or cost, unless the Borrower or American agrees to reimburse the Liquidity Provider therefor. If no such 14
18 designation or other action is effected, or, if effected, fails to avoid the need for any claim in respect of Increased Costs, American may arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility in accordance with Section 3.06(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, in no event shall the Borrower be required to make payments under this Section 3.01: (a) in respect of any Regulatory Change proposed by any applicable governmental authority (including any branch of a legislature), central bank or comparable agency of the United States or the Liquidity Provider's jurisdiction of organization and pending as of the date of this Agreement (it being agreed that the consultative paper issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision entitled "A New Capital Adequacy Framework" shall not be considered a Regulatory Change proposed as of the date of this Agreement); (b) if a claim hereunder in respect of an Increased Cost arises through circumstances peculiar to the Liquidity Provider and that do not affect similarly organized commercial banking institutions in the same jurisdiction generally that are in compliance with the law, rule, regulation or interpretation giving rise to the Regulatory Change relating to such Increased Cost; (c) if the Liquidity Provider shall fail to comply with its obligations under this Section 3.01; or (d) if the Liquidity Provider is not also seeking payment for similar increased costs in other similarly situated transactions. Section 3.02. [Intentionally omitted.] Section 3.03. Withholding Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes, unless such deduction or withholding is required by law. If any Taxes are so required to be withheld or deducted from any amounts payable to the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement, the Borrower shall pay to the relevant authorities the full amount so required to be deducted or withheld and, if such Taxes are Covered Taxes, pay to the Liquidity Provider such additional amounts as shall be necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Liquidity Provider (after deduction or withholding of all Covered Taxes) shall be equal to the full amount that would have been received by the Liquidity Provider had no withholding or deduction of Covered Taxes been required. The Liquidity Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with applicable legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if making such change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Provider, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to the Liquidity Provider. If the Liquidity Provider receives a refund of, or realizes a net Tax benefit not otherwise available to it as a result of, any Taxes for which additional amounts were paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.03, the Liquidity Provider shall pay to the Borrower (for deposit into the Collection Account) the amount of such refund (and any interest thereon) or net benefit. The Liquidity Provider will (i) provide (on its behalf and on behalf of any participant holding a Participation pursuant to Section 7.08) to the Borrower (x) on or prior to the Effective Date two valid completed and executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W8-BEN, including thereon a valid U.S. taxpayer identification number (or, with respect to any such participant, such other form or documentation as may be applicable) covering all amounts receivable by it in connection with the 15
19 transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements and (y) thereafter from time to time such additional forms or documentation as may be necessary to establish an available exemption from withholding of United States Tax on payments hereunder so that such forms or documentation are effective for all periods during which it is the Liquidity Provider and (ii) provide timely notice to the Borrower if any such form or documentation is or becomes inaccurate. The Liquidity Provider shall deliver to the Borrower such other forms or documents as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or required by applicable law to establish that payments hereunder are exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of Covered Taxes. (b) All payments (including, without limitation, Advances) made by the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, any Taxes. If any Taxes are required to be withheld or deducted from any amounts payable to the Borrower under this Agreement, the Liquidity Provider shall (i) within the time prescribed therefor by applicable law pay to the appropriate governmental or taxing authority the full amount of any such Taxes (and any additional Taxes in respect of the additional amounts payable under clause (ii) hereof) and make such reports or returns in connection therewith at the time or times and in the manner prescribed by applicable law, and (ii) pay to the Borrower an additional amount which (after deduction of all such Taxes) will be sufficient to yield to the Borrower the full amount which would have been received by it had no such withholding or deduction been made. Within 30 days after the date of each payment hereunder, the Liquidity Provider shall furnish to the Borrower the original or a certified copy of (or other documentary evidence of) the payment of the Taxes applicable to such payment. If any exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, any Taxes required to be borne by the Liquidity Provider under this Section 3.03(b) is reasonably available to the Borrower without providing any information regarding the holders or beneficial owners of the Certificates, the Borrower shall deliver the Liquidity Provider such form or forms and such other evidence of the eligibility of the Borrower for such exemption or reductions (but without any requirement to provide any information regarding the holders or beneficial owners of the Certificates) as the Liquidity Provider may reasonably identify to the Borrower as being required as a condition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, such Taxes. Section 3.04. Payments. The Borrower shall make or cause to be made each payment to the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement so as to cause the same to be received by the Liquidity Provider not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day when due. The Borrower shall make all such payments in Dollars, to the Liquidity Provider in immediately available funds, by wire transfer to First Union Bank International, Swift/BIC - Code: PNBPUS3N NYC (Fedwire 0260 0509 2/CHIPS/ABA 0509) in favor of account number 2000 193534 122, Bayerische Landesbank Girozentrale, Munich, Swift/BIC - Code: BYLADEMM, Reference RCA American EETC 1999-1A- 1. Section 3.05. Computations. All computations of interest based on the Base Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest 16
20 based on the LIBOR Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. Section 3.06. Payment on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no additional interest shall be due as a result (and if so made, shall be deemed to have been made when due). If any payment in respect of interest on an Advance is so deferred to the next succeeding Business Day, such deferral shall not delay the commencement of the next Interest Period for such Advance (if such Advance is a LIBOR Advance) or reduce the number of days for which interest will be payable on such Advance on the next interest payment date for such Advance. Section 3.07. Interest. (a) Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09, the Borrower shall pay, or shall cause to be paid, without duplication, interest on (i) the unpaid principal amount of each Advance from and including the date of such Advance (or, in the case of an Applied Provider Advance, from and including the date on which the amount thereof was withdrawn from the Class A-1 Cash Collateral Account to pay interest on the Class A-1 Certificates) to but excluding the date such principal amount shall be paid in full (or, in the case of an Applied Provider Advance, the date on which the Class A-1 Cash Collateral Account is fully replenished in respect of such Advance) and (ii) any other amount due hereunder (whether fees, commissions, expenses or other amounts or, to the extent permitted by law, installments of interest on Advances or any such other amount) that is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) from and including the due date thereof to but excluding the date such amount is paid in full, in each such case, at the interest rate per annum for each day equal to the Applicable Liquidity Rate (as defined below) for such Advance or such other amount, as the case may be, as in effect for such day, but in no event at a rate per annum greater than the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, provided, however, that, if at any time the otherwise applicable interest rate as set forth in this Section 3.07 shall exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, then to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law any subsequent reduction in such interest rate will not reduce the rate of interest payable pursuant to this Section 3.07 below the maximum rate permitted by applicable law until the total amount of interest accrued equals the absolute amount of interest that would have accrued (without additional interest thereon) if such otherwise applicable interest rate as set forth in this Section 3.07 had at all relevant times been in effect. (b) Except as provided in Section 3.07(e), each Advance will be either a Base Rate Advance or a LIBOR Advance as provided in this Section 3.07. Each such Advance will be a Base Rate Advance for the period from the date of its borrowing to (but excluding) the third Business Day following the Liquidity Provider's receipt of the Notice of Borrowing for such Advance. Thereafter, such Advance shall be a LIBOR Advance; provided that the Borrower (at the direction of the Controlling Party, so long as the Liquidity Provider is not the Controlling Party) may (x) convert the Final Advance into a Base Rate Advance on the last day of an Interest Period for such Advance by giving the Liquidity Provider no less than four Business Days' prior written notice of such election 17
21 or (y) elect to maintain the Final Advance as a Base Rate Advance by not requesting a conversion of the Final Advance to a LIBOR Advance under Clause (5) of the applicable Notice of Borrowing (or, if, pursuant to Section 2.06, such Final Advance is deemed to have been made without delivery of a Notice of Borrowing, by requesting, prior to 11:00 a.m. on the first Business Day immediately following the Borrower's receipt of the applicable Termination Notice, that such Final Advance not be converted from a Base Rate Advance to a LIBOR Advance). (c) Each LIBOR Advance shall bear interest during each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for such LIBOR Advance, payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period and, in the event of the payment of principal of such LIBOR Advance on a day other than such last day, on the date of such payment (to the extent of interest accrued on the amount of principal repaid). (d) Each Base Rate Advance shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for such Base Rate Advance, payable in arrears on each Regular Distribution Date and, in the event of the payment of principal of such Base Rate Advance on a day other than a Regular Distribution Date, on the date of such payment (to the extent of interest accrued on the amount of principal repaid). (e) Each outstanding Unapplied Provider Advance shall bear interest in an amount equal to the Investment Earnings on amounts on deposit in the Class A-1 Cash Collateral Account for such Unapplied Provider Advance on the amount of such Unapplied Provider Advance from time to time, payable in arrears on each Regular Distribution Date. (f) Each amount not paid when due hereunder (whether fees, commissions, expenses or other amounts or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, installments of interest on Advances but excluding Advances) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 1.75% per annum until paid. (g) Each change in the Base Rate shall become effective immediately. The rates of interest specified in this Section 3.07 with respect to any Advance or other amount shall be referred to as the "Applicable Liquidity Rate". Section 3.08. Replacement of Borrower. Subject to Section 5.02, from time to time and subject to the successor Borrower's meeting the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 6.09 of the Intercreditor Agreement applicable to the Subordination Agent, upon the effective date and time specified in a written and completed Notice of Replacement Subordination Agent in substantially the form of Annex VI (a "Notice of Replacement Subordination Agent") delivered to the Liquidity Provider by the then Borrower, the successor Borrower designated therein shall become the Borrower for all purposes hereunder. Section 3.09. Funding Loss Indemnification. The Borrower shall pay to the Liquidity Provider, upon the request of the Liquidity Provider, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient 18
22 (in the reasonable opinion of the Liquidity Provider) to compensate it for any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds acquired by the Liquidity Provider to fund or maintain any LIBOR Advance (but excluding loss of the Applicable Margin or anticipated profits) incurred as a result of: (1) Any repayment of a LIBOR Advance on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance; or (2) Any failure by the Borrower to borrow a LIBOR Advance on the date for borrowing specified in the relevant notice under Section 2.02. Section 3.10. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if any change in any law, rule or regulation applicable to or binding on the Liquidity Provider, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Liquidity Provider with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for the Liquidity Provider to maintain or fund its LIBOR Advances, then upon notice to the Borrower and American by the Liquidity Provider, the outstanding principal amount of the LIBOR Advances shall be converted to Base Rate Advances (a) immediately upon demand of the Liquidity Provider, if such change or compliance with such request, in the reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Provider, requires immediate conversion; or (b) at the expiration of the last Interest Period to expire before the effective date of any such change or request. The Liquidity Provider will notify the Borrower and American as promptly as practicable of any event that will lead to the conversion of LIBOR Advances to Base Rate Advances under this Section 3.10. The Liquidity Provider agrees to investigate all commercially reasonable alternatives for avoiding the need for such conversion, including, without limitation, designating a different Lending Office, if such designation or other action would avoid the need to convert such LIBOR Advances to Base Rate Advances; provided, that the foregoing shall not obligate the Liquidity Provider to take any action that would, in its reasonable judgment, cause the Liquidity Provider to incur any material loss or cost, unless the Borrower or American agrees to reimburse the Liquidity Provider therefor. If no such designation or other action is effected, or, if effected, fails to avoid the need for conversion of the LIBOR Advances to Base Rate Advances, American may arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility in accordance with Section 3.06(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement. ARTICLE IV CONDITIONS PRECEDENT Section 4.01. Conditions Precedent to Effectiveness of Section 2.01.

Following the making of any Advance pursuant to Section 2.02(b), 2.02(c) or 2.02(d) to fund the Class A-2 Cash Collateral Account, the Liquidity Provider shall have no interest in or rights to the Class A-2 Cash Collateral Account, such Advance or any other amounts from time to time on deposit in the Class A-2 Cash Collateral Account; provided that the foregoing shall not affect or impair the obligations of the Subordination Agent to make the distributions contemplated by Section 3.06(e) or 3.06(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement and provided further, that the foregoing shall not affect or impair the rights of the Liquidity Provider to provide written instructions with respect to the investment and reinvestment of amounts in the Class A-2 Cash Collateral Account to the extent provided in Section 2.02(b) of the Intercreditor Agreement. By paying to the Borrower proceeds of Advances requested by the Borrower in accordance with the provisions of this 10
14 Agreement, the Liquidity Provider makes no representation as to, and assumes no responsibility for, the correctness or sufficiency for any purpose of the amount of the Advances so made and requested. Section 2.03. Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Liquidity Provider the fees set forth in the Fee Letter. Section 2.04. Reduction or Termination of the Maximum Commitment. (a) Automatic Reduction. Promptly following each date on which the Required Amount is reduced as a result of a reduction in the Pool Balance of the Class A-2 Certificates or otherwise, the Maximum Commitment shall automatically be reduced to an amount equal to such reduced Required Amount (as calculated by the Borrower). The Borrower shall give notice of any such automatic reduction of the Maximum Commitment to the Liquidity Provider and American within two Business Days thereof. The failure by the Borrower to furnish any such notice shall not affect such automatic reduction of the Maximum Commitment. (b) Termination. Upon the making of any Provider Advance or Final Advance hereunder or the occurrence of the Termination Date, the obligation of the Liquidity Provider to make further Advances hereunder shall automatically and irrevocably terminate, and the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any further Borrowing hereunder. Section 2.05. Repayments of Interest Advances or the Final Advance. Subject to Sections 2.06, 2.07 and 2.09 hereof, the Borrower hereby agrees, without notice of an Advance or demand for repayment from the Liquidity Provider (which notice and demand are hereby waived by the Borrower), to pay, or to cause to be paid, to the Liquidity Provider (a) on each date on which the Liquidity Provider shall make an Interest Advance or the Final Advance, an amount equal to the amount of such Advance (any such Advance, until repaid, is referred to herein as an "Unpaid Advance"), plus (b) interest on the amount of each such Unpaid Advance in the amounts and on the dates determined as provided in Section 3.07; provided that if (i) the Liquidity Provider shall make a Provider Advance at any time after making one or more Interest Advances which shall not have been repaid in accordance with this Section 2.05 or (ii) this Liquidity Facility shall become a Downgraded Facility or Non-Extended Facility at any time when unreimbursed Interest Advances have reduced the Maximum Available Commitment to zero, then such Interest Advances shall cease to constitute Unpaid Advances and shall be deemed to have been changed into an Applied Downgrade Advance or an Applied Non-Extension Advance, as the case may be, for all purposes of this Agreement (including, without limitation, for the purpose of determining when such Interest Advance is required to be repaid to the Liquidity Provider in accordance with Section 2.06 and for the purposes of Section 2.06(b)). The Borrower and the Liquidity Provider agree that the repayment in full of each Interest Advance and Final Advance on the date such Advance is made is intended to be a contemporaneous exchange for new value given to the Borrower by the Liquidity Provider. For the avoidance of doubt, interest payable on an Interest Advance or the Final Advance shall not be regarded as overdue unless such interest is not paid when due under Section 3.07. 11
15 Section 2.06. Repayments of Provider Advances. (a) Amounts advanced hereunder in respect of a Provider Advance shall be deposited in the Class A-2 Cash Collateral Account and invested and withdrawn from the Class A-2 Cash Collateral Account as set forth in Sections 3.06(c), 3.06(d), 3.06(e) and 3.06(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement. Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Liquidity Provider, on each Regular Distribution Date, commencing on the first Regular Distribution Date after the making of a Provider Advance, interest on the principal amount of any such Provider Advance, in the amounts determined as provided in Section 3.07; provided, however, that amounts in respect of a Provider Advance withdrawn from the Class A-2 Cash Collateral Account for the purpose of paying interest on the Class A-2 Certificates in accordance with Section 3.06(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement (the amount of any such withdrawal being (y) in the case of a Downgrade Advance, an "Applied Downgrade Advance" and (z) in the case of a Non-Extension Advance, an "Applied Non-Extension Advance" and, together with an Applied Downgrade Advance, an "Applied Provider Advance") shall thereafter (subject to Section 2.06(b)) be treated as an Interest Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon and the dates on which such interest is payable; provided further, however, that if, following the making of a Provider Advance, the Liquidity Provider delivers a Termination Notice to the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.01, such Provider Advance shall thereafter be treated as a Final Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon and the dates on which such interest is payable. Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09 hereof, immediately upon the withdrawal of any amounts from the Class A-2 Cash Collateral Account on account of a reduction in the Required Amount, the Borrower shall repay to the Liquidity Provider a portion of the Provider Advances in a principal amount equal to such reduction, plus interest on the principal amount prepaid as provided in Section 3.07. (b) At any time when an Applied Provider Advance (or any portion thereof) is outstanding, upon the deposit in the Class A-2 Cash Collateral Account of any amount pursuant to clause "third" of Section 2.04(b) of the Intercreditor Agreement, clause "third" of Section 3.02 of the Intercreditor Agreement or clause "fourth" of Section 3.03 of the Intercreditor Agreement (any such amount being a "Replenishment Amount") for the purpose of replenishing or increasing the balance thereof up to the Required Amount at such time, (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Applied Provider Advances (and of Provider Advances treated as an Interest Advance for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon) shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such Replenishment Amount and (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Unapplied Provider Advances shall be automatically increased by the amount of such Replenishment Amount. (c) Upon the provision of a Replacement Liquidity Facility in replacement of this Agreement in accordance with Section 3.06(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement, as provided in Section 3.06(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement, amounts remaining on deposit in the Class A-2 Cash Collateral Account after giving effect to any Applied Provider Advance on the date of such 12
16 replacement shall be reimbursed to the Liquidity Provider, but only to the extent such amounts are necessary to repay in full to the Liquidity Provider all amounts owing to it hereunder. Section 2.07. Payments to the Liquidity Provider Under the Intercreditor Agreement. In order to provide for payment or repayment to the Liquidity Provider of any amounts hereunder, the Intercreditor Agreement provides that amounts available and referred to in Articles II and III of the Intercreditor Agreement, to the extent payable to the Liquidity Provider pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 3.06(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement), shall be paid to the Liquidity Provider in accordance with the terms thereof (but, for the avoidance of doubt, without duplication of or increase in any amounts payable hereunder). Amounts so paid to the Liquidity Provider shall be applied by the Liquidity Provider in the order of priority required by the applicable provisions of Articles II and III of the Intercreditor Agreement and shall discharge in full the corresponding obligations of the Borrower hereunder. Section 2.08. Book Entries. The Liquidity Provider shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from Advances made from time to time and the amounts of principal and interest payable hereunder and paid from time to time in respect thereof; provided, however, that the failure by the Liquidity Provider to maintain such account or accounts shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower in respect of Advances. Section 2.09. Payments from Available Funds Only. All payments to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made only from the amounts that constitute Scheduled Payments, Special Payments and other payments under the Operative Agreements, including payment under Section 4.02 of the Participation Agreements and payments under Section 2.14 of the Indentures, and only to the extent that the Borrower shall have sufficient income or proceeds therefrom to enable the Borrower to make payments in accordance with the terms hereof after giving effect to the priority of payments provisions set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement. The Liquidity Provider agrees that it will look solely to such amounts to the extent available for distribution to it as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement and that the Borrower, in its individual capacity, is not personally liable to it for any amounts payable or liability under this Agreement except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Participation Agreement. Amounts on deposit in the Class A-2 Cash Collateral Account shall be available to the Borrower to make payments under this Agreement only to the extent and for the purposes expressly contemplated in Section 3.06(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement. Section 2.10. Extension of the Expiry Date; Non-Extension Advance. If the Expiry Date is prior to the date that is 15 days after the Final Legal Distribution Date for the Class A-2 Certificates, then no earlier than the 60th day and no later than the 40th day prior to the then applicable Expiry Date, the Borrower may request in writing that the Liquidity Provider extend the Expiry Date to the earlier of (i) the date that is 15 days after the Final Legal Distribution Date for the Class A-2 Certificates and (ii) the date that is the day immediately preceding the 364th day after the last day of 13
17 the Consent Period (unless the obligations of the Liquidity Provider hereunder are earlier terminated in accordance herewith). The Liquidity Provider shall by notice (the "Consent Notice") to the Borrower during the period commencing on the date that is 60 days prior to the then effective Expiry Date and ending on the date that is 25 days prior to the then effective Expiry Date (the "Consent Period") advise the Borrower whether, in its sole discretion, it agrees to so extend the Expiry Date; provided, however, that such extension shall not be effective with respect to the Liquidity Provider if, by notice (the "Withdrawal Notice") to the Borrower prior to the end of the Consent Period, the Liquidity Provider revokes its Consent Notice. If the Liquidity Provider advises the Borrower in the Consent Notice that such Expiry Date shall not be so extended, or gives a Withdrawal Notice to the Borrower prior to the end of the Consent Period, or fails to irrevocably and unconditionally advise the Borrower on or before the end of the Consent Period that such Expiry Date shall be so extended (and, in each case, if the Liquidity Provider shall not have been replaced in accordance with Section 3.06(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement), the Borrower shall be entitled on and after the date on which the Consent Period ends (but prior to the then effective Expiry Date) to request a Non-Extension Advance in accordance with Section 2.02(b) hereof and Section 3.06(d) of the Intercreditor Agreement. If any amounts shall be drawn pursuant to a Non-Extension Advance and, within 30 days thereafter, the Liquidity Provider shall not have been replaced, then at any time following the 30th day after such Non-Extension Advance, the Liquidity Provider may, by written notice to the Borrower, agree to reinstate the Liquidity Facility on the terms of the existing Liquidity Facility for a period ending on the 364th day after the end of the Consent Period; provided, however, that in such event the Liquidity Provider shall reimburse the Borrower for any costs actually incurred by or on behalf of the Borrower in drawing pursuant to the Non-Extension Advance and funding the Class A-2 Cash Collateral Account or otherwise in connection with the Non-Extension Advance. ARTICLE III OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER Section 3.01. Increased Costs. If as a result of any Regulatory Change there shall be any increase by an amount reasonably deemed by the Liquidity Provider to be material in the actual cost to the Liquidity Provider of making, funding or maintaining any Advances or its obligation to make any such Advances or there shall be any reduction by an amount reasonably deemed by the Liquidity Provider to be material in the amount receivable by the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement in respect thereof, and in case of either such an increase or reduction, such event does not arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Liquidity Provider, from its breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein or in the Intercreditor Agreement or from its failure to comply with any such Regulatory Change (any such increase or reduction being referred to herein as an "Increased Cost"), then the Borrower shall from time to time pay to the Liquidity Provider an amount equal to such Increased Cost within 15 Business Days after delivery to the Borrower and American of a certificate of an officer of the Liquidity Provider describing in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it claims such Increased Cost and the basis for the determination of the amount of such Increased Cost; provided 14
18 that, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay amounts only with respect to any Increased Costs accruing from the date 45 days prior to the date of delivery of such certificate. Such certificate, in the absence of manifest error, shall be considered prima facie evidence of the amount for purposes of this Agreement; provided that any determinations and allocations by the Liquidity Provider of the effect of any Regulatory Change on the costs of maintaining the Advances are made on a reasonable basis. The Liquidity Provider shall not be entitled to assert any claim under this Section 3.01 in respect of or attributable to Taxes. The Liquidity Provider will notify the Borrower and American as promptly as practicable of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement that will entitle the Liquidity Provider to compensation under this Section 3.01. The Liquidity Provider agrees to investigate all commercially reasonable alternatives for reducing any Increased Costs and to use all commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or minimize, to the greatest extent possible, any claim in respect of Increased Costs, including, without limitation, by designating a different Lending Office, if such designation or other action would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such claim; provided that the foregoing shall not obligate the Liquidity Provider to take any action that would, in its reasonable judgment, cause the Liquidity Provider to incur any material loss or cost, unless the Borrower or American agrees to reimburse the Liquidity Provider therefor. If no such designation or other action is effected, or, if effected, fails to avoid the need for any claim in respect of Increased Costs, American may arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility in accordance with Section 3.06(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, in no event shall the Borrower be required to make payments under this Section 3.01: (a) in respect of any Regulatory Change proposed by any applicable governmental authority (including any branch of a legislature), central bank or comparable agency of the United States or the Liquidity Provider's jurisdiction of organization and pending as of the date of this Agreement (it being agreed that the consultative paper issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision entitled "A New Capital Adequacy Framework" shall not be considered a Regulatory Change proposed as of the date of this Agreement); (b) if a claim hereunder in respect of an Increased Cost arises through circumstances peculiar to the Liquidity Provider and that do not affect similarly organized commercial banking institutions in the same jurisdiction generally that are in compliance with the law, rule, regulation or interpretation giving rise to the Regulatory Change relating to such Increased Cost; (c) if the Liquidity Provider shall fail to comply with its obligations under this Section 3.01; or (d) if the Liquidity Provider is not also seeking payment for similar increased costs in other similarly situated transactions. Section 3.02. [Intentionally omitted.] Section 3.03. Withholding Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes, unless such deduction or withholding is required by law. If any Taxes are so required to be withheld or deducted from any amounts payable to the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement, the Borrower shall pay to the relevant authorities the full amount so required to be deducted or withheld and, if such Taxes are Covered Taxes, pay to the Liquidity Provider such additional amounts as shall be 15
19 necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Liquidity Provider (after deduction or withholding of all Covered Taxes) shall be equal to the full amount that would have been received by the Liquidity Provider had no withholding or deduction of Covered Taxes been required. The Liquidity Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with applicable legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if making such change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Provider, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to the Liquidity Provider. If the Liquidity Provider receives a refund of, or realizes a net Tax benefit not otherwise available to it as a result of, any Taxes for which additional amounts were paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.03, the Liquidity Provider shall pay to the Borrower (for deposit into the Collection Account) the amount of such refund (and any interest thereon) or net benefit. The Liquidity Provider will (i) provide (on its behalf and on behalf of any participant holding a Participation pursuant to Section 7.08) to the Borrower (x) on or prior to the Effective Date two valid completed and executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W8-BEN, including thereon a valid U.S. taxpayer identification number (or, with respect to any such participant, such other form or documentation as may be applicable) covering all amounts receivable by it in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements and (y) thereafter from time to time such additional forms or documentation as may be necessary to establish an available exemption from withholding of United States Tax on payments hereunder so that such forms or documentation are effective for all periods during which it is the Liquidity Provider and (ii) provide timely notice to the Borrower if any such form or documentation is or becomes inaccurate. The Liquidity Provider shall deliver to the Borrower such other forms or documents as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or required by applicable law to establish that payments hereunder are exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of Covered Taxes. (b) All payments (including, without limitation, Advances) made by the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, any Taxes. If any Taxes are required to be withheld or deducted from any amounts payable to the Borrower under this Agreement, the Liquidity Provider shall (i) within the time prescribed therefor by applicable law pay to the appropriate governmental or taxing authority the full amount of any such Taxes (and any additional Taxes in respect of the additional amounts payable under clause (ii) hereof) and make such reports or returns in connection therewith at the time or times and in the manner prescribed by applicable law, and (ii) pay to the Borrower an additional amount which (after deduction of all such Taxes) will be sufficient to yield to the Borrower the full amount which would have been received by it had no such withholding or deduction been made. Within 30 days after the date of each payment hereunder, the Liquidity Provider shall furnish to the Borrower the original or a certified copy of (or other documentary evidence of) the payment of the Taxes applicable to such payment. If any exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, any Taxes required to be borne by the Liquidity Provider under this Section 3.03(b) is reasonably available to the Borrower without 16
20 providing any information regarding the holders or beneficial owners of the Certificates, the Borrower shall deliver the Liquidity Provider such form or forms and such other evidence of the eligibility of the Borrower for such exemption or reductions (but without any requirement to provide any information regarding the holders or beneficial owners of the Certificates) as the Liquidity Provider may reasonably identify to the Borrower as being required as a condition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, such Taxes. Section 3.04. Payments. The Borrower shall make or cause to be made each payment to the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement so as to cause the same to be received by the Liquidity Provider not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day when due. The Borrower shall make all such payments in Dollars, to the Liquidity Provider in immediately available funds, by wire transfer to First Union Bank International, Swift/BIC - Code: PNBPUS3N NYC (Fedwire 0260 0509 2/CHIPS/ABA 0509) in favor of account number 2000 193534 122, Bayerische Landesbank Girozentrale, Munich, Swift/BIC - Code: BYLADEMM, Reference RCA American EETC 1999-1A-2. Section 3.05. Computations. All computations of interest based on the Base Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on the LIBOR Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. Section 3.06. Payment on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no additional interest shall be due as a result (and if so made, shall be deemed to have been made when due). If any payment in respect of interest on an Advance is so deferred to the next succeeding Business Day, such deferral shall not delay the commencement of the next Interest Period for such Advance (if such Advance is a LIBOR Advance) or reduce the number of days for which interest will be payable on such Advance on the next interest payment date for such Advance. Section 3.07. Interest. (a) Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09, the Borrower shall pay, or shall cause to be paid, without duplication, interest on (i) the unpaid principal amount of each Advance from and including the date of such Advance (or, in the case of an Applied Provider Advance, from and including the date on which the amount thereof was withdrawn from the Class A-2 Cash Collateral Account to pay interest on the Class A-2 Certificates) to but excluding the date such principal amount shall be paid in full (or, in the case of an Applied Provider Advance, the date on which the Class A-2 Cash Collateral Account is fully replenished in respect of such Advance) and (ii) any other amount due hereunder (whether fees, commissions, expenses or other amounts or, to the extent permitted by law, installments of interest on Advances or any such other amount) that is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) from and including the due date thereof to but excluding the date such amount is paid in full, in each such case, at the 17
21 interest rate per annum for each day equal to the Applicable Liquidity Rate (as defined below) for such Advance or such other amount, as the case may be, as in effect for such day, but in no event at a rate per annum greater than the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, provided, however, that, if at any time the otherwise applicable interest rate as set forth in this Section 3.07 shall exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, then to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law any subsequent reduction in such interest rate will not reduce the rate of interest payable pursuant to this Section 3.07 below the maximum rate permitted by applicable law until the total amount of interest accrued equals the absolute amount of interest that would have accrued (without additional interest thereon) if such otherwise applicable interest rate as set forth in this Section 3.07 had at all relevant times been in effect. (b) Except as provided in Section 3.07(e), each Advance will be either a Base Rate Advance or a LIBOR Advance as provided in this Section 3.07. Each such Advance will be a Base Rate Advance for the period from the date of its borrowing to (but excluding) the third Business Day following the Liquidity Provider's receipt of the Notice of Borrowing for such Advance. Thereafter, such Advance shall be a LIBOR Advance; provided that the Borrower (at the direction of the Controlling Party, so long as the Liquidity Provider is not the Controlling Party) may (x) convert the Final Advance into a Base Rate Advance on the last day of an Interest Period for such Advance by giving the Liquidity Provider no less than four Business Days' prior written notice of such election or (y) elect to maintain the Final Advance as a Base Rate Advance by not requesting a conversion of the Final Advance to a LIBOR Advance under Clause (5) of the applicable Notice of Borrowing (or, if, pursuant to Section 2.06, such Final Advance is deemed to have been made without delivery of a Notice of Borrowing, by requesting, prior to 11:00 a.m. on the first Business Day immediately following the Borrower's receipt of the applicable Termination Notice, that such Final Advance not be converted from a Base Rate Advance to a LIBOR Advance). (c) Each LIBOR Advance shall bear interest during each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for such LIBOR Advance, payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period and, in the event of the payment of principal of such LIBOR Advance on a day other than such last day, on the date of such payment (to the extent of interest accrued on the amount of principal repaid). (d) Each Base Rate Advance shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for such Base Rate Advance, payable in arrears on each Regular Distribution Date and, in the event of the payment of principal of such Base Rate Advance on a day other than a Regular Distribution Date, on the date of such payment (to the extent of interest accrued on the amount of principal repaid). (e) Each outstanding Unapplied Provider Advance shall bear interest in an amount equal to the Investment Earnings on amounts on deposit in the Class A-2 Cash Collateral Account for such Unapplied Provider Advance on the amount of such Unapplied Provider Advance from time to time, payable in arrears on each Regular Distribution Date. 18
22 (f) Each amount not paid when due hereunder (whether fees, commissions, expenses or other amounts or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, installments of interest on Advances but excluding Advances) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 1.75% per annum until paid. (g) Each change in the Base Rate shall become effective immediately. The rates of interest specified in this Section 3.07 with respect to any Advance or other amount shall be referred to as the "Applicable Liquidity Rate". Section 3.08. Replacement of Borrower. Subject to Section 5.02, from time to time and subject to the successor Borrower's meeting the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 6.09 of the Intercreditor Agreement applicable to the Subordination Agent, upon the effective date and time specified in a written and completed Notice of Replacement Subordination Agent in substantially the form of Annex VI (a "Notice of Replacement Subordination Agent") delivered to the Liquidity Provider by the then Borrower, the successor Borrower designated therein shall become the Borrower for all purposes hereunder. Section 3.09. Funding Loss Indemnification. The Borrower shall pay to the Liquidity Provider, upon the request of the Liquidity Provider, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of the Liquidity Provider) to compensate it for any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds acquired by the Liquidity Provider to fund or maintain any LIBOR Advance (but excluding loss of the Applicable Margin or anticipated profits) incurred as a result of: (1) Any repayment of a LIBOR Advance on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance; or (2) Any failure by the Borrower to borrow a LIBOR Advance on the date for borrowing specified in the relevant notice under Section 2.02. Section 3.10. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if any change in any law, rule or regulation applicable to or binding on the Liquidity Provider, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Liquidity Provider with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for the Liquidity Provider to maintain or fund its LIBOR Advances, then upon notice to the Borrower and American by the Liquidity Provider, the outstanding principal amount of the LIBOR Advances shall be converted to Base Rate Advances (a) immediately upon demand of the Liquidity Provider, if such change or compliance with such request, in the reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Provider, requires immediate conversion; or (b) at the expiration of the last Interest Period to expire before the 19
23 effective date of any such change or request. The Liquidity Provider will notify the Borrower and American as promptly as practicable of any event that will lead to the conversion of LIBOR Advances to Base Rate Advances under this Section 3.10. The Liquidity Provider agrees to investigate all commercially reasonable alternatives for avoiding the need for such conversion, including, without limitation, designating a different Lending Office, if such designation or other action would avoid the need to convert such LIBOR Advances to Base Rate Advances; provided, that the foregoing shall not obligate the Liquidity Provider to take any action that would, in its reasonable judgment, cause the Liquidity Provider to incur any material loss or cost, unless the Borrower or American agrees to reimburse the Liquidity Provider therefor. If no such designation or other action is effected, or, if effected, fails to avoid the need for conversion of the LIBOR Advances to Base Rate Advances, American may arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility in accordance with Section 3.06(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement. ARTICLE IV CONDITIONS PRECEDENT Section 4.01. Conditions Precedent to Effectiveness of Section 2.01.

25 ARTICLE V COVENANTS Section 5.01. Affirmative Covenants of the Borrower.

If a Notice of 9
13 Borrowing is delivered by the Borrower in respect of any Borrowing after 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day, upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 with respect to a requested Borrowing, the Liquidity Provider shall make available to the Borrower, in accordance with its payment instructions, the amount of such Borrowing in Dollars and immediately available funds, before 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the first Business Day next following the day of receipt of such Notice of Borrowing or on such later Business Day specified by the Borrower in such Notice of Borrowing.

Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be effective upon delivery of a copy thereof to the Liquidity Provider's New York branch at the address specified in Section 7.02 hereof. (f) Upon the making of any Advance requested pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing in accordance with the Borrower's payment instructions, the Liquidity Provider shall be fully discharged of its obligation hereunder with respect to such Notice of Borrowing, and the Liquidity Provider shall not thereafter be obligated to make any further Advances hereunder in respect of such Notice of Borrowing to the Borrower or to any other Person (including the Trustee or any Class B Certificateholder). If the Liquidity Provider makes an Advance requested pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing before 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the second Business Day after the date of payment specified in said Section 2.02(e), the Liquidity Provider shall have fully discharged its obligations hereunder with respect to such Advance and an event of default shall not have occurred hereunder. Following the making of any Advance pursuant to Section 2.02(b), 2.02(c) or 2.02(d) to fund the Class B Cash Collateral Account, the Liquidity Provider shall have no interest in or rights to the Class B Cash Collateral Account, such Advance or any other amounts from time to time on deposit in the Class B Cash Collateral Account; provided that the foregoing shall not affect or impair the obligations of the Subordination Agent to make the distributions contemplated by Section 3.06(e) or 3.06(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement and provided further, that the foregoing shall not affect or impair the rights of the Liquidity Provider to provide written instructions with respect to the investment and reinvestment of amounts in the Class B Cash Collateral Account to the extent provided in Section 2.02(b) of the Intercreditor Agreement.

(a) Automatic Reduction. Promptly following each date on which the Required Amount is reduced as a result of a reduction in the Pool Balance of the Class B Certificates or otherwise, the Maximum Commitment shall automatically be reduced to an amount equal to such reduced Required Amount (as calculated by the Borrower). The Borrower shall give notice of any such automatic reduction of the Maximum 10
14 Commitment to the Liquidity Provider and American within two Business Days thereof. The failure by the Borrower to furnish any such notice shall not affect such automatic reduction of the Maximum Commitment. (b) Termination. Upon the making of any Provider Advance or Final Advance hereunder or the occurrence of the Termination Date, the obligation of the Liquidity Provider to make further Advances hereunder shall automatically and irrevocably terminate, and the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any further Borrowing hereunder.

The Borrower and the Liquidity Provider agree that the repayment in full of each Interest Advance and Final Advance on the date such Advance is made is intended to be a contemporaneous exchange for new value given to the Borrower by the Liquidity Provider.

Repayments of Provider Advances. (a) Amounts advanced hereunder in respect of a Provider Advance shall be deposited in the Class B Cash Collateral Account and invested and withdrawn from the Class B Cash Collateral Account as set forth in Sections 3.06(c), 3.06(d), 3.06(e) and 3.06(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement.

15 Downgrade Advance, an "Applied Provider Advance") shall thereafter (subject to Section 2.06(b)) be treated as an Interest Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon and the dates on which such interest is payable; provided further, however, that if, following the making of a Provider Advance, the Liquidity Provider delivers a Termination Notice to the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.01, such Provider Advance shall thereafter be treated as a Final Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon and the dates on which such interest is payable. Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09 hereof, immediately upon the withdrawal of any amounts from the Class B Cash Collateral Account on account of a reduction in the Required Amount, the Borrower shall repay to the Liquidity Provider a portion of the Provider Advances in a principal amount equal to such reduction, plus interest on the principal amount prepaid as provided in Section 3.07. (b) At any time when an Applied Provider Advance (or any portion thereof) is outstanding, upon the deposit in the Class B Cash Collateral Account of any amount pursuant to clause "third" of Section 2.04(b) of the Intercreditor Agreement, clause "third" of Section 3.02 of the Intercreditor Agreement or clause "fourth" of Section 3.03 of the Intercreditor Agreement (any such amount being a "Replenishment Amount") for the purpose of replenishing or increasing the balance thereof up to the Required Amount at such time, (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Applied Provider Advances (and of Provider Advances treated as an Interest Advance for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon) shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such Replenishment Amount and (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Unapplied Provider Advances shall be automatically increased by the amount of such Replenishment Amount. (c) Upon the provision of a Replacement Liquidity Facility in replacement of this Agreement in accordance with Section 3.06(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement, as provided in Section 3.06(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement, amounts remaining on deposit in the Class B Cash Collateral Account after giving effect to any Applied Provider Advance on the date of such replacement shall be reimbursed to the Liquidity Provider, but only to the extent such amounts are necessary to repay in full to the Liquidity Provider all amounts owing to it hereunder. Section 2.07. Payments to the Liquidity Provider Under the Intercreditor Agreement. In order to provide for payment or repayment to the Liquidity Provider of any amounts hereunder, the Intercreditor Agreement provides that amounts available and referred to in Articles II and III of the Intercreditor Agreement, to the extent payable to the Liquidity Provider pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 3.06(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement), shall be paid to the Liquidity Provider in accordance with the terms thereof (but, for the avoidance of doubt, without duplication of or increase in any amounts payable hereunder). Amounts so paid to the Liquidity Provider shall be applied by the Liquidity Provider in the order of priority required by the applicable provisions of Articles II and III of the Intercreditor Agreement and shall discharge in full the corresponding obligations of the Borrower hereunder. 12
16 Section 2.08. Book Entries. The Liquidity Provider shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from Advances made from time to time and the amounts of principal and interest payable hereunder and paid from time to time in respect thereof; provided, however, that the failure by the Liquidity Provider to maintain such account or accounts shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower in respect of Advances. Section 2.09. Payments from Available Funds Only. All payments to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made only from the amounts that constitute Scheduled Payments, Special Payments and other payments under the Operative Agreements, including payment under Section 4.02 of the Participation Agreements and payments under Section 2.14 of the Indentures, and only to the extent that the Borrower shall have sufficient income or proceeds therefrom to enable the Borrower to make payments in accordance with the terms hereof after giving effect to the priority of payments provisions set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement. The Liquidity Provider agrees that it will look solely to such amounts to the extent available for distribution to it as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement and that the Borrower, in its individual capacity, is not personally liable to it for any amounts payable or liability under this Agreement except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Participation Agreement. Amounts on deposit in the Class B Cash Collateral Account shall be available to the Borrower to make payments under this Agreement only to the extent and for the purposes expressly contemplated in Section 3.06(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement. Section 2.10. Extension of the Expiry Date; Non-Extension Advance. If the Expiry Date is prior to the date that is 15 days after the Final Legal Distribution Date for the Class B Certificates, then no earlier than the 60th day and no later than the 40th day prior to the then applicable Expiry Date, the Borrower may request in writing that the Liquidity Provider extend the Expiry Date to the earlier of (i) the date that is 15 days after the Final Legal Distribution Date for the Class B Certificates and (ii) the date that is the day immediately preceding the 364th day after the last day of the Consent Period (unless the obligations of the Liquidity Provider hereunder are earlier terminated in accordance herewith). The Liquidity Provider shall by notice (the "Consent Notice") to the Borrower during the period commencing on the date that is 60 days prior to the then effective Expiry Date and ending on the date that is 25 days prior to the then effective Expiry Date (the "Consent Period") advise the Borrower whether, in its sole discretion, it agrees to so extend the Expiry Date; provided, however, that such extension shall not be effective with respect to the Liquidity Provider if, by notice (the "Withdrawal Notice") to the Borrower prior to the end of the Consent Period, the Liquidity Provider revokes its Consent Notice. If the Liquidity Provider advises the Borrower in the Consent Notice that such Expiry Date shall not be so extended, or gives a Withdrawal Notice to the Borrower prior to the end of the Consent Period, or fails to irrevocably and unconditionally advise the Borrower on or before the end of the Consent Period that such Expiry Date shall be so extended (and, in each case, if the Liquidity Provider shall not have been replaced in accordance with Section 3.06(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement), the Borrower shall be entitled on and after the date on which the Consent Period ends (but prior to the then effective Expiry Date) to request a Non-Extension Advance in accordance with Section 2.02(b) hereof and Section 3.06(d) of the Intercreditor 13
17 Agreement. If any amounts shall be drawn pursuant to a Non-Extension Advance and, within 30 days thereafter, the Liquidity Provider shall not have been replaced, then at any time following the 30th day after such Non-Extension Advance, the Liquidity Provider may, by written notice to the Borrower, agree to reinstate the Liquidity Facility on the terms of the existing Liquidity Facility for a period ending on the 364th day after the end of the Consent Period; provided, however, that in such event the Liquidity Provider shall reimburse the Borrower for any costs actually incurred by or on behalf of the Borrower in drawing pursuant to the Non-Extension Advance and funding the Class B Cash Collateral Account or otherwise in connection with the Non-Extension Advance. ARTICLE III OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER Section 3.01. Increased Costs. If as a result of any Regulatory Change there shall be any increase by an amount reasonably deemed by the Liquidity Provider to be material in the actual cost to the Liquidity Provider of making, funding or maintaining any Advances or its obligation to make any such Advances or there shall be any reduction by an amount reasonably deemed by the Liquidity Provider to be material in the amount receivable by the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement in respect thereof, and in case of either such an increase or reduction, such event does not arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Liquidity Provider, from its breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein or in the Intercreditor Agreement or from its failure to comply with any such Regulatory Change (any such increase or reduction being referred to herein as an "Increased Cost"), then the Borrower shall from time to time pay to the Liquidity Provider an amount equal to such Increased Cost within 15 Business Days after delivery to the Borrower and American of a certificate of an officer of the Liquidity Provider describing in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it claims such Increased Cost and the basis for the determination of the amount of such Increased Cost; provided that, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay amounts only with respect to any Increased Costs accruing from the date 45 days prior to the date of delivery of such certificate. Such certificate, in the absence of manifest error, shall be considered prima facie evidence of the amount for purposes of this Agreement; provided that any determinations and allocations by the Liquidity Provider of the effect of any Regulatory Change on the costs of maintaining the Advances are made on a reasonable basis. The Liquidity Provider shall not be entitled to assert any claim under this Section 3.01 in respect of or attributable to Taxes. The Liquidity Provider will notify the Borrower and American as promptly as practicable of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement that will entitle the Liquidity Provider to compensation under this Section 3.01. The Liquidity Provider agrees to investigate all commercially reasonable alternatives for reducing any Increased Costs and to use all commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or minimize, to the greatest extent possible, any claim in respect of Increased Costs, including, without limitation, by designating a different Lending Office, if such designation or other action would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such claim; provided that the foregoing shall not obligate the Liquidity Provider to take any action that would, in its reasonable judgment, cause the Liquidity Provider to incur any material loss or cost, unless the Borrower or American agrees to reimburse the Liquidity Provider therefor. If no such 14
18 designation or other action is effected, or, if effected, fails to avoid the need for any claim in respect of Increased Costs, American may arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility in accordance with Section 3.06(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, in no event shall the Borrower be required to make payments under this Section 3.01: (a) in respect of any Regulatory Change proposed by any applicable governmental authority (including any branch of a legislature), central bank or comparable agency of the United States or the Liquidity Provider's jurisdiction of organization and pending as of the date of this Agreement (it being agreed that the consultative paper issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision entitled "A New Capital Adequacy Framework" shall not be considered a Regulatory Change proposed as of the date of this Agreement); (b) if a claim hereunder in respect of an Increased Cost arises through circumstances peculiar to the Liquidity Provider and that do not affect similarly organized commercial banking institutions in the same jurisdiction generally that are in compliance with the law, rule, regulation or interpretation giving rise to the Regulatory Change relating to such Increased Cost; (c) if the Liquidity Provider shall fail to comply with its obligations under this Section 3.01; or (d) if the Liquidity Provider is not also seeking payment for similar increased costs in other similarly situated transactions. Section 3.02. [Intentionally omitted.] Section 3.03. Withholding Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes, unless such deduction or withholding is required by law. If any Taxes are so required to be withheld or deducted from any amounts payable to the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement, the Borrower shall pay to the relevant authorities the full amount so required to be deducted or withheld and, if such Taxes are Covered Taxes, pay to the Liquidity Provider such additional amounts as shall be necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Liquidity Provider (after deduction or withholding of all Covered Taxes) shall be equal to the full amount that would have been received by the Liquidity Provider had no withholding or deduction of Covered Taxes been required. The Liquidity Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with applicable legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if making such change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Provider, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to the Liquidity Provider. If the Liquidity Provider receives a refund of, or realizes a net Tax benefit not otherwise available to it as a result of, any Taxes for which additional amounts were paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.03, the Liquidity Provider shall pay to the Borrower (for deposit into the Collection Account) the amount of such refund (and any interest thereon) or net benefit. The Liquidity Provider will (i) provide (on its behalf and on behalf of any participant holding a Participation pursuant to Section 7.08) to the Borrower (x) on or prior to the Effective Date two valid completed and executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W8-BEN, including thereon a valid U.S. taxpayer identification number (or, with respect to any such participant, such other form or documentation as may be applicable) covering all amounts receivable by it in connection with the 15
19 transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements and (y) thereafter from time to time such additional forms or documentation as may be necessary to establish an available exemption from withholding of United States Tax on payments hereunder so that such forms or documentation are effective for all periods during which it is the Liquidity Provider and (ii) provide timely notice to the Borrower if any such form or documentation is or becomes inaccurate. The Liquidity Provider shall deliver to the Borrower such other forms or documents as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or required by applicable law to establish that payments hereunder are exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of Covered Taxes. (b) All payments (including, without limitation, Advances) made by the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, any Taxes. If any Taxes are required to be withheld or deducted from any amounts payable to the Borrower under this Agreement, the Liquidity Provider shall (i) within the time prescribed therefor by applicable law pay to the appropriate governmental or taxing authority the full amount of any such Taxes (and any additional Taxes in respect of the additional amounts payable under clause (ii) hereof) and make such reports or returns in connection therewith at the time or times and in the manner prescribed by applicable law, and (ii) pay to the Borrower an additional amount which (after deduction of all such Taxes) will be sufficient to yield to the Borrower the full amount which would have been received by it had no such withholding or deduction been made. Within 30 days after the date of each payment hereunder, the Liquidity Provider shall furnish to the Borrower the original or a certified copy of (or other documentary evidence of) the payment of the Taxes applicable to such payment. If any exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, any Taxes required to be borne by the Liquidity Provider under this Section 3.03(b) is reasonably available to the Borrower without providing any information regarding the holders or beneficial owners of the Certificates, the Borrower shall deliver the Liquidity Provider such form or forms and such other evidence of the eligibility of the Borrower for such exemption or reductions (but without any requirement to provide any information regarding the holders or beneficial owners of the Certificates) as the Liquidity Provider may reasonably identify to the Borrower as being required as a condition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, such Taxes. Section 3.04. Payments. The Borrower shall make or cause to be made each payment to the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement so as to cause the same to be received by the Liquidity Provider not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day when due. The Borrower shall make all such payments in Dollars, to the Liquidity Provider in immediately available funds, by wire transfer to First Union Bank International, Swift/BIC - Code: PNBPUS3N NYC (Fedwire 0260 0509 2/CHIPS/ABA 0509) in favor of account number 2000 193534 122, Bayerische Landesbank Girozentrale, Munich, Swift/BIC - Code: BYLADEMM, Reference RCA American EETC 1999-1B. Section 3.05. Computations. All computations of interest based on the Base Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on the LIBOR Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual 16
20 number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. Section 3.06. Payment on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no additional interest shall be due as a result (and if so made, shall be deemed to have been made when due). If any payment in respect of interest on an Advance is so deferred to the next succeeding Business Day, such deferral shall not delay the commencement of the next Interest Period for such Advance (if such Advance is a LIBOR Advance) or reduce the number of days for which interest will be payable on such Advance on the next interest payment date for such Advance. Section 3.07. Interest. (a) Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09, the Borrower shall pay, or shall cause to be paid, without duplication, interest on (i) the unpaid principal amount of each Advance from and including the date of such Advance (or, in the case of an Applied Provider Advance, from and including the date on which the amount thereof was withdrawn from the Class B Cash Collateral Account to pay interest on the Class B Certificates) to but excluding the date such principal amount shall be paid in full (or, in the case of an Applied Provider Advance, the date on which the Class B Cash Collateral Account is fully replenished in respect of such Advance) and (ii) any other amount due hereunder (whether fees, commissions, expenses or other amounts or, to the extent permitted by law, installments of interest on Advances or any such other amount) that is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) from and including the due date thereof to but excluding the date such amount is paid in full, in each such case, at the interest rate per annum for each day equal to the Applicable Liquidity Rate (as defined below) for such Advance or such other amount, as the case may be, as in effect for such day, but in no event at a rate per annum greater than the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, provided, however, that, if at any time the otherwise applicable interest rate as set forth in this Section 3.07 shall exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, then to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law any subsequent reduction in such interest rate will not reduce the rate of interest payable pursuant to this Section 3.07 below the maximum rate permitted by applicable law until the total amount of interest accrued equals the absolute amount of interest that would have accrued (without additional interest thereon) if such otherwise applicable interest rate as set forth in this Section 3.07 had at all relevant times been in effect. (b) Except as provided in Section 3.07(e), each Advance will be either a Base Rate Advance or a LIBOR Advance as provided in this Section 3.07. Each such Advance will be a Base Rate Advance for the period from the date of its borrowing to (but excluding) the third Business Day following the Liquidity Provider's receipt of the Notice of Borrowing for such Advance. Thereafter, such Advance shall be a LIBOR Advance; provided that the Borrower (at the direction of the Controlling Party, so long as the Liquidity Provider is not the Controlling Party) may (x) convert the Final Advance into a Base Rate Advance on the last day of an Interest Period for such Advance by giving the Liquidity Provider no less than four Business Days' prior written notice of such election or (y) elect to maintain the Final Advance as a Base Rate Advance by not requesting a conversion 17
21 of the Final Advance to a LIBOR Advance under Clause (5) of the applicable Notice of Borrowing (or, if, pursuant to Section 2.06, such Final Advance is deemed to have been made without delivery of a Notice of Borrowing, by requesting, prior to 11:00 a.m. on the first Business Day immediately following the Borrower's receipt of the applicable Termination Notice, that such Final Advance not be converted from a Base Rate Advance to a LIBOR Advance). (c) Each LIBOR Advance shall bear interest during each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for such LIBOR Advance, payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period and, in the event of the payment of principal of such LIBOR Advance on a day other than such last day, on the date of such payment (to the extent of interest accrued on the amount of principal repaid). (d) Each Base Rate Advance shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for such Base Rate Advance, payable in arrears on each Regular Distribution Date and, in the event of the payment of principal of such Base Rate Advance on a day other than a Regular Distribution Date, on the date of such payment (to the extent of interest accrued on the amount of principal repaid). (e) Each outstanding Unapplied Provider Advance shall bear interest in an amount equal to the Investment Earnings on amounts on deposit in the Class B Cash Collateral Account for such Unapplied Provider Advance on the amount of such Unapplied Provider Advance from time to time, payable in arrears on each Regular Distribution Date. (f) Each amount not paid when due hereunder (whether fees, commissions, expenses or other amounts or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, installments of interest on Advances but excluding Advances) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 1.75% per annum until paid. (g) Each change in the Base Rate shall become effective immediately. The rates of interest specified in this Section 3.07 with respect to any Advance or other amount shall be referred to as the "Applicable Liquidity Rate". Section 3.08. Replacement of Borrower. Subject to Section 5.02, from time to time and subject to the successor Borrower's meeting the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 6.09 of the Intercreditor Agreement applicable to the Subordination Agent, upon the effective date and time specified in a written and completed Notice of Replacement Subordination Agent in substantially the form of Annex VI (a "Notice of Replacement Subordination Agent") delivered to the Liquidity Provider by the then Borrower, the successor Borrower designated therein shall become the Borrower for all purposes hereunder. Section 3.09. Funding Loss Indemnification. The Borrower shall pay to the Liquidity Provider, upon the request of the Liquidity Provider, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of the Liquidity Provider) to compensate it for any loss, cost or expense 18
22 incurred by reason of the liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds acquired by the Liquidity Provider to fund or maintain any LIBOR Advance (but excluding loss of the Applicable Margin or anticipated profits) incurred as a result of: (1) Any repayment of a LIBOR Advance on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance; or (2) Any failure by the Borrower to borrow a LIBOR Advance on the date for borrowing specified in the relevant notice under Section 2.02. Section 3.10. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if any change in any law, rule or regulation applicable to or binding on the Liquidity Provider, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Liquidity Provider with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for the Liquidity Provider to maintain or fund its LIBOR Advances, then upon notice to the Borrower and American by the Liquidity Provider, the outstanding principal amount of the LIBOR Advances shall be converted to Base Rate Advances (a) immediately upon demand of the Liquidity Provider, if such change or compliance with such request, in the reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Provider, requires immediate conversion; or (b) at the expiration of the last Interest Period to expire before the effective date of any such change or request. The Liquidity Provider will notify the Borrower and American as promptly as practicable of any event that will lead to the conversion of LIBOR Advances to Base Rate Advances under this Section 3.10. The Liquidity Provider agrees to investigate all commercially reasonable alternatives for avoiding the need for such conversion, including, without limitation, designating a different Lending Office, if such designation or other action would avoid the need to convert such LIBOR Advances to Base Rate Advances; provided, that the foregoing shall not obligate the Liquidity Provider to take any action that would, in its reasonable judgment, cause the Liquidity Provider to incur any material loss or cost, unless the Borrower or American agrees to reimburse the Liquidity Provider therefor. If no such designation or other action is effected, or, if effected, fails to avoid the need for conversion of the LIBOR Advances to Base Rate Advances, American may arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility in accordance with Section 3.06(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement. ARTICLE IV CONDITIONS PRECEDENT Section 4.01. Conditions Precedent to Effectiveness of Section 2.01.

If the Liquidity Provider makes an Advance requested pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing before 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the second Business Day after the date of payment specified in said Section 2.02(e), the Liquidity Provider shall have fully discharged its obligations hereunder with respect to such Advance and an event of default shall not have occurred hereunder. Following the making of any Advance pursuant to Section 2.02(b), 2.02(c) or 2.02(d) to fund the Class C Cash Collateral Account, the Liquidity Provider shall have no interest in or rights to the Class C Cash Collateral Account, such Advance or any other amounts from time to time on deposit in the Class C Cash Collateral Account; provided that the foregoing shall not affect or impair the obligations of the Subordination Agent to make the distributions contemplated by Section 3.06(e) or 3.06(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement and provided further, that the foregoing shall not affect or impair the rights of the Liquidity Provider to provide written instructions with respect to the investment and reinvestment of amounts in the Class C Cash Collateral Account to the extent provided in Section 2.02(b) of the Intercreditor Agreement.

The Borrower shall give notice of any such automatic reduction of the Maximum 10
14 Commitment to the Liquidity Provider and American within two Business Days thereof. The failure by the Borrower to furnish any such notice shall not affect such automatic reduction of the Maximum Commitment. (b) Termination.

Section 2.05. Repayments of Interest Advances or the Final Advance. Subject to Sections 2.06, 2.07 and 2.09 hereof, the Borrower hereby agrees, without notice of an Advance or demand for repayment from the Liquidity Provider (which notice and demand are hereby waived by the Borrower), to pay, or to cause to be paid, to the Liquidity Provider (a) on each date on which the Liquidity Provider shall make an Interest Advance or the Final Advance, an amount equal to the amount of such Advance (any such Advance, until repaid, is referred to herein as an "Unpaid Advance"), plus (b) interest on the amount of each such Unpaid Advance in the amounts and on the dates determined as provided in Section 3.07; provided that if (i) the Liquidity Provider shall make a Provider Advance at any time after making one or more Interest Advances which shall not have been repaid in accordance with this Section 2.05 or (ii) this Liquidity Facility shall become a Downgraded Facility or Non-Extended Facility at any time when unreimbursed Interest Advances have reduced the Maximum Available Commitment to zero, then such Interest Advances shall cease to constitute Unpaid Advances and shall be deemed to have been changed into an Applied Downgrade Advance or an Applied Non-Extension Advance, as the case may be, for all purposes of this Agreement (including, without limitation, for the purpose of determining when such Interest Advance is required to be repaid to the Liquidity Provider in accordance with Section 2.06 and for the purposes of Section 2.06(b)). The Borrower and the Liquidity Provider agree that the repayment in full of each Interest Advance and Final Advance on the date such Advance is made is intended to be a contemporaneous exchange for new value given to the Borrower by the Liquidity Provider.

15 Downgrade Advance, an "Applied Provider Advance") shall thereafter (subject to Section 2.06(b)) be treated as an Interest Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon and the dates on which such interest is payable; provided further, however, that if, following the making of a Provider Advance, the Liquidity Provider delivers a Termination Notice to the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.01, such Provider Advance shall thereafter be treated as a Final Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon and the dates on which such interest is payable. Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09 hereof, immediately upon the withdrawal of any amounts from the Class C Cash Collateral Account on account of a reduction in the Required Amount, the Borrower shall repay to the Liquidity Provider a portion of the Provider Advances in a principal amount equal to such reduction, plus interest on the principal amount prepaid as provided in Section 3.07. (b) At any time when an Applied Provider Advance (or any portion thereof) is outstanding, upon the deposit in the Class C Cash Collateral Account of any amount pursuant to clause "third" of Section 2.04(b) of the Intercreditor Agreement, clause "third" of Section 3.02 of the Intercreditor Agreement or clause "fourth" of Section 3.03 of the Intercreditor Agreement (any such amount being a "Replenishment Amount") for the purpose of replenishing or increasing the balance thereof up to the Required Amount at such time, (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Applied Provider Advances (and of Provider Advances treated as an Interest Advance for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon) shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such Replenishment Amount and (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Unapplied Provider Advances shall be automatically increased by the amount of such Replenishment Amount.

Section 2.07. Payments to the Liquidity Provider Under the Intercreditor Agreement. In order to provide for payment or repayment to the Liquidity Provider of any amounts hereunder, the Intercreditor Agreement provides that amounts available and referred to in Articles II and III of the Intercreditor Agreement, to the extent payable to the Liquidity Provider pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 3.06(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement), shall be paid to the Liquidity Provider in accordance with the terms thereof (but, for the avoidance of doubt, without duplication of or increase in any amounts payable hereunder). Amounts so paid to the Liquidity Provider shall be applied by the Liquidity Provider in the order of priority required by the applicable provisions of Articles II and III of the Intercreditor Agreement and shall discharge in full the corresponding obligations of the Borrower hereunder. 12
16 Section 2.08. Book Entries. The Liquidity Provider shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from Advances made from time to time and the amounts of principal and interest payable hereunder and paid from time to time in respect thereof; provided, however, that the failure by the Liquidity Provider to maintain such account or accounts shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower in respect of Advances. Section 2.09. Payments from Available Funds Only. All payments to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made only from the amounts that constitute Scheduled Payments, Special Payments and other payments under the Operative Agreements, including payment under Section 4.02 of the Participation Agreements and payments under Section 2.14 of the Indentures, and only to the extent that the Borrower shall have sufficient income or proceeds therefrom to enable the Borrower to make payments in accordance with the terms hereof after giving effect to the priority of payments provisions set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement. The Liquidity Provider agrees that it will look solely to such amounts to the extent available for distribution to it as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement and that the Borrower, in its individual capacity, is not personally liable to it for any amounts payable or liability under this Agreement except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Participation Agreement. Amounts on deposit in the Class C Cash Collateral Account shall be available to the Borrower to make payments under this Agreement only to the extent and for the purposes expressly contemplated in Section 3.06(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement. Section 2.10. Extension of the Expiry Date; Non-Extension Advance. If the Expiry Date is prior to the date that is 15 days after the Final Legal Distribution Date for the Class C Certificates, then no earlier than the 60th day and no later than the 40th day prior to the then applicable Expiry Date, the Borrower may request in writing that the Liquidity Provider extend the Expiry Date to the earlier of (i) the date that is 15 days after the Final Legal Distribution Date for the Class C Certificates and (ii) the date that is the day immediately preceding the 364th day after the last day of the Consent Period (unless the obligations of the Liquidity Provider hereunder are earlier terminated in accordance herewith). The Liquidity Provider shall by notice (the "Consent Notice") to the Borrower during the period commencing on the date that is 60 days prior to the then effective Expiry Date and ending on the date that is 25 days prior to the then effective Expiry Date (the "Consent Period") advise the Borrower whether, in its sole discretion, it agrees to so extend the Expiry Date; provided, however, that such extension shall not be effective with respect to the Liquidity Provider if, by notice (the "Withdrawal Notice") to the Borrower prior to the end of the Consent Period, the Liquidity Provider revokes its Consent Notice. If the Liquidity Provider advises the Borrower in the Consent Notice that such Expiry Date shall not be so extended, or gives a Withdrawal Notice to the Borrower prior to the end of the Consent Period, or fails to irrevocably and unconditionally advise the Borrower on or before the end of the Consent Period that such Expiry Date shall be so extended (and, in each case, if the Liquidity Provider shall not have been replaced in accordance with Section 3.06(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement), the Borrower shall be entitled on and after the date on which the Consent Period ends (but prior to the then effective Expiry Date) to request a Non-Extension Advance in accordance with Section 2.02(b) hereof and Section 3.06(d) of the Intercreditor 13
17 Agreement. If any amounts shall be drawn pursuant to a Non-Extension Advance and, within 30 days thereafter, the Liquidity Provider shall not have been replaced, then at any time following the 30th day after such Non-Extension Advance, the Liquidity Provider may, by written notice to the Borrower, agree to reinstate the Liquidity Facility on the terms of the existing Liquidity Facility for a period ending on the 364th day after the end of the Consent Period; provided, however, that in such event the Liquidity Provider shall reimburse the Borrower for any costs actually incurred by or on behalf of the Borrower in drawing pursuant to the Non-Extension Advance and funding the Class C Cash Collateral Account or otherwise in connection with the Non-Extension Advance. ARTICLE III OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER Section 3.01. Increased Costs. If as a result of any Regulatory Change there shall be any increase by an amount reasonably deemed by the Liquidity Provider to be material in the actual cost to the Liquidity Provider of making, funding or maintaining any Advances or its obligation to make any such Advances or there shall be any reduction by an amount reasonably deemed by the Liquidity Provider to be material in the amount receivable by the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement in respect thereof, and in case of either such an increase or reduction, such event does not arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Liquidity Provider, from its breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein or in the Intercreditor Agreement or from its failure to comply with any such Regulatory Change (any such increase or reduction being referred to herein as an "Increased Cost"), then the Borrower shall from time to time pay to the Liquidity Provider an amount equal to such Increased Cost within 15 Business Days after delivery to the Borrower and American of a certificate of an officer of the Liquidity Provider describing in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it claims such Increased Cost and the basis for the determination of the amount of such Increased Cost; provided that, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay amounts only with respect to any Increased Costs accruing from the date 45 days prior to the date of delivery of such certificate. Such certificate, in the absence of manifest error, shall be considered prima facie evidence of the amount for purposes of this Agreement; provided that any determinations and allocations by the Liquidity Provider of the effect of any Regulatory Change on the costs of maintaining the Advances are made on a reasonable basis. The Liquidity Provider shall not be entitled to assert any claim under this Section 3.01 in respect of or attributable to Taxes. The Liquidity Provider will notify the Borrower and American as promptly as practicable of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement that will entitle the Liquidity Provider to compensation under this Section 3.01. The Liquidity Provider agrees to investigate all commercially reasonable alternatives for reducing any Increased Costs and to use all commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or minimize, to the greatest extent possible, any claim in respect of Increased Costs, including, without limitation, by designating a different Lending Office, if such designation or other action would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such claim; provided that the foregoing shall not obligate the Liquidity Provider to take any action that would, in its reasonable judgment, cause the Liquidity Provider to incur any material loss or cost, unless the Borrower or American agrees to reimburse the Liquidity Provider therefor. If no such 14
18 designation or other action is effected, or, if effected, fails to avoid the need for any claim in respect of Increased Costs, American may arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility in accordance with Section 3.06(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, in no event shall the Borrower be required to make payments under this Section 3.01: (a) in respect of any Regulatory Change proposed by any applicable governmental authority (including any branch of a legislature), central bank or comparable agency of the United States or the Liquidity Provider's jurisdiction of organization and pending as of the date of this Agreement (it being agreed that the consultative paper issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision entitled "A New Capital Adequacy Framework" shall not be considered a Regulatory Change proposed as of the date of this Agreement); (b) if a claim hereunder in respect of an Increased Cost arises through circumstances peculiar to the Liquidity Provider and that do not affect similarly organized commercial banking institutions in the same jurisdiction generally that are in compliance with the law, rule, regulation or interpretation giving rise to the Regulatory Change relating to such Increased Cost; (c) if the Liquidity Provider shall fail to comply with its obligations under this Section 3.01; or (d) if the Liquidity Provider is not also seeking payment for similar increased costs in other similarly situated transactions. Section 3.02. [Intentionally omitted.] Section 3.03. Withholding Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes, unless such deduction or withholding is required by law. If any Taxes are so required to be withheld or deducted from any amounts payable to the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement, the Borrower shall pay to the relevant authorities the full amount so required to be deducted or withheld and, if such Taxes are Covered Taxes, pay to the Liquidity Provider such additional amounts as shall be necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Liquidity Provider (after deduction or withholding of all Covered Taxes) shall be equal to the full amount that would have been received by the Liquidity Provider had no withholding or deduction of Covered Taxes been required. The Liquidity Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with applicable legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if making such change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Provider, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to the Liquidity Provider. If the Liquidity Provider receives a refund of, or realizes a net Tax benefit not otherwise available to it as a result of, any Taxes for which additional amounts were paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.03, the Liquidity Provider shall pay to the Borrower (for deposit into the Collection Account) the amount of such refund (and any interest thereon) or net benefit. The Liquidity Provider will (i) provide (on its behalf and on behalf of any participant holding a Participation pursuant to Section 7.08) to the Borrower (x) on or prior to the Effective Date two valid completed and executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W8-BEN, including thereon a valid U.S. taxpayer identification number (or, with respect to any such participant, such other form or documentation as may be applicable) covering all amounts receivable by it in connection with the 15
19 transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements and (y) thereafter from time to time such additional forms or documentation as may be necessary to establish an available exemption from withholding of United States Tax on payments hereunder so that such forms or documentation are effective for all periods during which it is the Liquidity Provider and (ii) provide timely notice to the Borrower if any such form or documentation is or becomes inaccurate. The Liquidity Provider shall deliver to the Borrower such other forms or documents as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or required by applicable law to establish that payments hereunder are exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of Covered Taxes. (b) All payments (including, without limitation, Advances) made by the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, any Taxes. If any Taxes are required to be withheld or deducted from any amounts payable to the Borrower under this Agreement, the Liquidity Provider shall (i) within the time prescribed therefor by applicable law pay to the appropriate governmental or taxing authority the full amount of any such Taxes (and any additional Taxes in respect of the additional amounts payable under clause (ii) hereof) and make such reports or returns in connection therewith at the time or times and in the manner prescribed by applicable law, and (ii) pay to the Borrower an additional amount which (after deduction of all such Taxes) will be sufficient to yield to the Borrower the full amount which would have been received by it had no such withholding or deduction been made. Within 30 days after the date of each payment hereunder, the Liquidity Provider shall furnish to the Borrower the original or a certified copy of (or other documentary evidence of) the payment of the Taxes applicable to such payment. If any exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, any Taxes required to be borne by the Liquidity Provider under this Section 3.03(b) is reasonably available to the Borrower without providing any information regarding the holders or beneficial owners of the Certificates, the Borrower shall deliver the Liquidity Provider such form or forms and such other evidence of the eligibility of the Borrower for such exemption or reductions (but without any requirement to provide any information regarding the holders or beneficial owners of the Certificates) as the Liquidity Provider may reasonably identify to the Borrower as being required as a condition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, such Taxes. Section 3.04. Payments. The Borrower shall make or cause to be made each payment to the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement so as to cause the same to be received by the Liquidity Provider not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day when due. The Borrower shall make all such payments in Dollars, to the Liquidity Provider in immediately available funds, by wire transfer to First Union Bank International, Swift/BIC - Code: PNBPUS3N NYC (Fedwire 0260 0509 2/CHIPS/ABA 0509) in favor of account number 2000 193534 122, Bayerische Landesbank Girozentrale, Munich, Swift/BIC - Code: BYLADEMM, Reference RCA American EETC 1999-1B. Section 3.05. Computations. All computations of interest based on the Base Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on the LIBOR Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual 16
20 number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. Section 3.06. Payment on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no additional interest shall be due as a result (and if so made, shall be deemed to have been made when due). If any payment in respect of interest on an Advance is so deferred to the next succeeding Business Day, such deferral shall not delay the commencement of the next Interest Period for such Advance (if such Advance is a LIBOR Advance) or reduce the number of days for which interest will be payable on such Advance on the next interest payment date for such Advance. Section 3.07. Interest. (a) Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09, the Borrower shall pay, or shall cause to be paid, without duplication, interest on (i) the unpaid principal amount of each Advance from and including the date of such Advance (or, in the case of an Applied Provider Advance, from and including the date on which the amount thereof was withdrawn from the Class C Cash Collateral Account to pay interest on the Class C Certificates) to but excluding the date such principal amount shall be paid in full (or, in the case of an Applied Provider Advance, the date on which the Class C Cash Collateral Account is fully replenished in respect of such Advance) and (ii) any other amount due hereunder (whether fees, commissions, expenses or other amounts or, to the extent permitted by law, installments of interest on Advances or any such other amount) that is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) from and including the due date thereof to but excluding the date such amount is paid in full, in each such case, at the interest rate per annum for each day equal to the Applicable Liquidity Rate (as defined below) for such Advance or such other amount, as the case may be, as in effect for such day, but in no event at a rate per annum greater than the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, provided, however, that, if at any time the otherwise applicable interest rate as set forth in this Section 3.07 shall exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, then to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law any subsequent reduction in such interest rate will not reduce the rate of interest payable pursuant to this Section 3.07 below the maximum rate permitted by applicable law until the total amount of interest accrued equals the absolute amount of interest that would have accrued (without additional interest thereon) if such otherwise applicable interest rate as set forth in this Section 3.07 had at all relevant times been in effect. (b) Except as provided in Section 3.07(e), each Advance will be either a Base Rate Advance or a LIBOR Advance as provided in this Section 3.07. Each such Advance will be a Base Rate Advance for the period from the date of its borrowing to (but excluding) the third Business Day following the Liquidity Provider's receipt of the Notice of Borrowing for such Advance. Thereafter, such Advance shall be a LIBOR Advance; provided that the Borrower (at the direction of the Controlling Party, so long as the Liquidity Provider is not the Controlling Party) may (x) convert the Final Advance into a Base Rate Advance on the last day of an Interest Period for such Advance by giving the Liquidity Provider no less than four Business Days' prior written notice of such election or (y) elect to maintain the Final Advance as a Base Rate Advance by not requesting a conversion 17
21 of the Final Advance to a LIBOR Advance under Clause (5) of the applicable Notice of Borrowing (or, if, pursuant to Section 2.06, such Final Advance is deemed to have been made without delivery of a Notice of Borrowing, by requesting, prior to 11:00 a.m. on the first Business Day immediately following the Borrower's receipt of the applicable Termination Notice, that such Final Advance not be converted from a Base Rate Advance to a LIBOR Advance). (c) Each LIBOR Advance shall bear interest during each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for such LIBOR Advance, payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period and, in the event of the payment of principal of such LIBOR Advance on a day other than such last day, on the date of such payment (to the extent of interest accrued on the amount of principal repaid). (d) Each Base Rate Advance shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for such Base Rate Advance, payable in arrears on each Regular Distribution Date and, in the event of the payment of principal of such Base Rate Advance on a day other than a Regular Distribution Date, on the date of such payment (to the extent of interest accrued on the amount of principal repaid). (e) Each outstanding Unapplied Provider Advance shall bear interest in an amount equal to the Investment Earnings on amounts on deposit in the Class C Cash Collateral Account for such Unapplied Provider Advance on the amount of such Unapplied Provider Advance from time to time, payable in arrears on each Regular Distribution Date. (f) Each amount not paid when due hereunder (whether fees, commissions, expenses or other amounts or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, installments of interest on Advances but excluding Advances) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 1.75% per annum until paid. (g) Each change in the Base Rate shall become effective immediately. The rates of interest specified in this Section 3.07 with respect to any Advance or other amount shall be referred to as the "Applicable Liquidity Rate". Section 3.08. Replacement of Borrower. Subject to Section 5.02, from time to time and subject to the successor Borrower's meeting the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 6.09 of the Intercreditor Agreement applicable to the Subordination Agent, upon the effective date and time specified in a written and completed Notice of Replacement Subordination Agent in substantially the form of Annex VI (a "Notice of Replacement Subordination Agent") delivered to the Liquidity Provider by the then Borrower, the successor Borrower designated therein shall become the Borrower for all purposes hereunder. Section 3.09. Funding Loss Indemnification. The Borrower shall pay to the Liquidity Provider, upon the request of the Liquidity Provider, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of the Liquidity Provider) to compensate it for any loss, cost or expense 18
22 incurred by reason of the liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds acquired by the Liquidity Provider to fund or maintain any LIBOR Advance (but excluding loss of the Applicable Margin or anticipated profits) incurred as a result of: (1) Any repayment of a LIBOR Advance on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance; or (2) Any failure by the Borrower to borrow a LIBOR Advance on the date for borrowing specified in the relevant notice under Section 2.02. Section 3.10. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if any change in any law, rule or regulation applicable to or binding on the Liquidity Provider, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Liquidity Provider with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for the Liquidity Provider to maintain or fund its LIBOR Advances, then upon notice to the Borrower and American by the Liquidity Provider, the outstanding principal amount of the LIBOR Advances shall be converted to Base Rate Advances (a) immediately upon demand of the Liquidity Provider, if such change or compliance with such request, in the reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Provider, requires immediate conversion; or (b) at the expiration of the last Interest Period to expire before the effective date of any such change or request. The Liquidity Provider will notify the Borrower and American as promptly as practicable of any event that will lead to the conversion of LIBOR Advances to Base Rate Advances under this Section 3.10. The Liquidity Provider agrees to investigate all commercially reasonable alternatives for avoiding the need for such conversion, including, without limitation, designating a different Lending Office, if such designation or other action would avoid the need to convert such LIBOR Advances to Base Rate Advances; provided, that the foregoing shall not obligate the Liquidity Provider to take any action that would, in its reasonable judgment, cause the Liquidity Provider to incur any material loss or cost, unless the Borrower or American agrees to reimburse the Liquidity Provider therefor. If no such designation or other action is effected, or, if effected, fails to avoid the need for conversion of the LIBOR Advances to Base Rate Advances, American may arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility in accordance with Section 3.06(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement. ARTICLE IV CONDITIONS PRECEDENT Section 4.01. Conditions Precedent to Effectiveness of Section 2.01.

15 amounts received and distributable by it hereunder or thereunder, (B) a failure on the part of the Subordination Agent to distribute in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement any amounts received and distributable by it thereunder or (C) a failure on the part of any Pass Through Trustee to distribute in accordance with the Pass Through Trust Agreement to which it is a party any amounts received and distributable by it thereunder; (viii) any Claim to the extent such Claim is attributable to the authorization or giving or withholding of any future amendments, supplements, waivers or consents with respect to any Operative Document or any Pass Through Document, other than such as have been requested by the Company or that occur as the result of an Event of Default, or such as are expressly required or contemplated by the provisions of the Operative Documents or the Pass Through Documents; (ix) any Claim to the extent such Claim is payable or borne by (a) the Company pursuant to any indemnification, compensation or reimbursement provision of any other Operative Document or any Pass Through Document or (b) a Person other than the Company pursuant to any provision of any Operative Document or any Pass Through Document; (x) any Claim to the extent such Claim is an ordinary and usual operating or overhead expense; (xi) any Claim to the extent such Claim is incurred by or asserted as a result of any "prohibited transaction" within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code; and (xii) any Claim to the extent such Claim is attributable to one or more of the other aircraft financed through the offering of Pass Through Certificates (in the event of doubt, any Claim shall be allocated between the Aircraft and such other aircraft in the same proportion that the then outstanding Equipment Notes bear to the then outstanding equipment notes issued with respect to the other aircraft and held by the Pass Through Trustees). (e) Insured Claims. In the case of any Claim indemnified by the Company hereunder that is covered by a policy of insurance maintained by the Company, each Indemnitee agrees to cooperate, at the Company's expense, with the insurers in the exercise of their rights to investigate, defend or compromise such Claim. (f) Claims Procedure. An Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Company of any Claim as to which indemnification is sought; provided that the failure to provide such prompt notice shall not release the Company from any of its obligations to indemnify hereunder, except to 12
16 the extent that the Company is prejudiced by such failure or the Company's indemnification obligations are increased as a result of such failure. Such Indemnitee shall promptly submit to the Company all additional information in such Indemnitee's possession to substantiate such request for payment to the Company as the Company shall reasonably request. Subject to the rights of insurers under policies of insurance maintained by the Company, the Company shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to investigate, and the right in its sole discretion to defend or compromise, any Claim for which indemnification is sought under this Section 4.02, and, at the Company's expense, the Indemnitee shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of the Company in connection therewith. Such Indemnitee shall not enter into a settlement or other compromise with respect to any Claim without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless such Indemnitee waives its right to be indemnified with respect to such Claim under this Section 4.02. Where the Company or the insurers under a policy of insurance maintained by the Company undertake the defense of an Indemnitee with respect to a Claim, 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 written request of the Company or such insurers. Subject to the requirements of any policy of insurance, an Indemnitee may participate at its own expense in any judicial proceeding controlled by the Company pursuant to the preceding provisions; provided that such party's participation does not, in the opinion of the counsel appointed by the Company or its insurers to conduct such proceedings, interfere with such control; and such participation shall not constitute a waiver of the indemnification provided in this Section 4.02. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not under any circumstances be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all Indemnitees. (g) Subrogation. To the extent that a Claim indemnified by the Company under this Section 4.02 is in fact paid in full by the Company or an insurer under a policy of insurance maintained by the Company, the Company or such insurer, as the case may be, shall, without any further action, be subrogated to the rights and remedies of the Indemnitee on whose behalf such Claim was paid with respect to the transaction or event giving rise to such Claim. Such Indemnitee shall give such further assurances or agreements and shall cooperate with the Company or such insurer, as the case may be, to permit the Company or such insurer to pursue such rights and remedies, if any, to the extent reasonably requested by the Company. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if an Indemnitee receives any payment from any party other than the Company or its insurers, in whole or in part, with respect to any Claim paid by the Company or its insurers hereunder, it shall promptly pay over to the Company the amount received (but not an amount in excess of the amount the Company or any of its insurers has paid in respect of such Claim). Any amount referred to in the preceding sentence that 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 Event of Default 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 Agreement, the Indenture and the other Operative 13
17 Documents, and, if the Company agrees, shall be applied against the Company's obligations hereunder and thereunder when and as they become due and payable and, at such time as there shall not be continuing any such Event of Default, such amount, to the extent not previously so applied against the Company's obligations, 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 any such Event of Default shall have occurred, during which period (i) the Loan Trustee shall not have been limited by operation of law or otherwise from exercising remedies under the Indenture and (ii) the Loan Trustee shall not have exercised any remedy available to it under Section 4.02 of the Indenture, then such amount, to the extent not previously so applied against the Company's payment obligations, shall be paid to the Company. (h) No Guaranty. Nothing set forth in this Section 4.02 shall constitute a guarantee by the Company that the Aircraft shall at any time have any particular value, useful life or residual value. (i) Payments; Interest. Any amount payable to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 4.02 shall be paid within 30 days after receipt of a written demand therefor from such Indemnitee accompanied by a written statement describing in reasonable detail the Claims that are the subject of and basis for such indemnity and the computation of the amount payable. Any payments made pursuant to this Section 4.02 directly to an Indemnitee or to the Company, as the case may be, shall be made in immediately available funds at such bank or to such account as is specified by the payee in written directions to the payor or, if no such directions shall have been given, by check of the payor payable to the order of the payee and mailed to the payee by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid to its address referred to in Section 7.01. To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Past Due Rate shall be paid, on demand, on any amount or indemnity not paid when due pursuant to this Section 4.02 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. ARTICLE V REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF STATE STREET Section 5.01.

The principal amount of each Series A-1 Equipment Note shall be payable in installments on the Payment Dates set forth in Schedule I to such Equipment Note, each such installment to be in an amount computed by multiplying the original principal amount of such Equipment Note by the percentage set forth in Schedule I hereto, the applicable portion of which shall be attached as Schedule I to such Equipment Note, opposite the Payment Date on which such installment is due.

Amounts shall be overdue under an Equipment Note if not paid in the manner provided therein or in this Indenture when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any date on which a payment hereunder or under any Equipment Note becomes due and payable is not a Business Day, then such payment shall not be made on such scheduled date but shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such scheduled date, and if 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.

16 Section 2.03. Method of Payment. The principal amount of, interest on, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and, except to the extent expressly provided herein, all other amounts due to any Noteholder under each Equipment Note or otherwise payable hereunder shall be payable by the Company in Dollars by wire transfer of immediately available funds not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the due date of payment to the Loan Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office for distribution among the Noteholders in the manner provided herein. The Company shall not have any responsibility for the distribution of such payment to any Noteholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision in any Equipment Note to the contrary, the Loan Trustee will use reasonable efforts to pay or cause to be paid, if so directed in writing by any Noteholder (with a copy to the Company), all amounts paid by the Company hereunder and under such Noteholder's Equipment Note or Equipment Notes to such Noteholder or a nominee therefor (including all amounts distributed pursuant to Article III) by transferring, or causing to be transferred, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in Dollars, prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the due date of payment, to an account maintained by such Noteholder with a bank located in the continental United States the amount to be distributed to such Noteholder, for credit to the account of such Noteholder maintained at such bank; provided that, in the event the Equipment Notes are not held by the Subordination Agent on behalf of the Pass Through Trustees, the Loan Trustee may at its option pay such amounts by check mailed to the Noteholder's address as it appears on the Equipment Note Register. If, after its receipt of funds at the place and prior to the time specified above in the immediately preceding sentence, the Loan Trustee shall fail (other than as a result of a failure of the Noteholder to provide it with wire transfer instructions) to make any such payment required to be paid by wire transfer as provided in the immediately preceding sentence on the Business Day it receives such funds, the Loan Trustee, in its individual capacity and not as trustee, agrees to compensate such Noteholders for loss of use of funds at the Federal Funds Rate until such payment is made and the Loan Trustee shall be entitled to any interest earned on such funds until such payment is made. Any payment made hereunder shall be made without any presentment or surrender of any Equipment Note, except that, in the case of the final payment in respect of any Equipment Note, such Equipment Note shall be surrendered to the Loan Trustee for cancellation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture to the contrary, the Loan Trustee shall not be required to make, or cause to be made, wire transfers as aforesaid prior to the first Business Day on which it is practicable for the Loan Trustee to do so in view of the time of day when the funds to be so transferred were received by it if such funds were received after 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at the place of payment. Section 2.04. Withholding Taxes. The Loan Trustee shall exclude and withhold at the appropriate rate from each payment of principal amount of, interest on, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and other amounts due hereunder or under each Equipment Note (which exclusion and withholding shall constitute payment of such amounts payable hereunder or in respect of such Equipment Notes, as applicable) any and all withholding taxes applicable thereto as required by law. The Loan Trustee agrees to act as such withholding agent and, in connection therewith, whenever any present or future taxes or similar charges are required to be withheld with respect to any amounts payable hereunder or in respect of the Equipment Notes, to withhold such amounts 12
17 (which withholding shall constitute payment of such amounts payable hereunder or in respect of such Equipment Notes, as applicable) and timely pay the same to the appropriate authority in the name of and on behalf of the Noteholders, that it will file any necessary withholding tax returns or statements when due, and that as promptly as possible after the payment thereof it will deliver to each Noteholder (with a copy to the Company) appropriate documentation showing the payment thereof, together with such additional documentary evidence as any such Noteholder may reasonably request from time to time. The Loan Trustee agrees to file any other information reports as it may be required to file under United States law. Section 2.05. Application of Payments. Subject always to Section 2.13 and except as otherwise provided in Article III, in the case of each Equipment Note, each payment of an installment of principal amount, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest paid thereon shall be applied: first, to the payment of accrued interest on such Equipment Note (as well as any interest on any overdue principal amount and (to the extent permitted by law) any overdue Make-Whole Amount, if any, any overdue interest and any other overdue amounts thereunder) to the date of such payment; second, to the payment of Make-Whole Amount, if any; and third, to the payment of principal amount of such Equipment Note (or portion thereof) then due thereunder. Section 2.06. Termination of Interest in Collateral. No Noteholder or Indenture Indemnitee shall, as such, have any further interest in, or other right with respect to, the Collateral when and if the principal amount of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest (including interest on any overdue amounts) on and all other amounts due under all Equipment Notes held by such Noteholder and all other sums then payable to such Noteholder or Indenture Indemnitee, as the case may be, hereunder and under the Participation Agreement by the Company (collectively, "Secured Obligations") shall have been paid in full. Section 2.07. Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Equipment Notes. The Loan Trustee shall keep a register or registers (the "Equipment Note Register") in which the Loan Trustee shall provide for the registration of Equipment Notes and the registration of transfers of Equipment Notes. No such transfer shall be given effect unless and until registration hereunder shall have occurred. The Equipment Note Register shall be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Loan Trustee. The Loan Trustee is hereby appointed "Equipment Note Registrar" for the purpose of registering Equipment Notes and transfers of Equipment Notes as herein provided. A holder of any Equipment Note intending to exchange or transfer such Equipment Note shall surrender such Equipment Note to the Loan Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office, together with a written request from the registered holder thereof for the issuance of a new Equipment Note of the 13
18 same Series, specifying, in the case of a surrender for transfer, the name and address of the new holder or holders. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Equipment Note and subject to satisfaction of Section 2.09, the Company shall execute, and the Loan Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Equipment Notes of a like aggregate principal amount and of the same Series. At the option of the Noteholder, Equipment Notes may be exchanged for other Equipment Notes of the same Series of any authorized denominations of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Equipment Notes to be exchanged to the Loan Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office. Whenever any Equipment Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Loan Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Equipment Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. All Equipment Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Equipment Notes (whether under this Section 2.07 or under Section 2.08 or otherwise under this Indenture) shall be the valid obligations of the Company evidencing the same respective obligations, and entitled to the same security and benefits under this Indenture, as the Equipment Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. Every Equipment Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer, shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Loan Trustee, duly executed by the Noteholder or such Noteholder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and the Loan Trustee shall require evidence satisfactory to it as to the compliance of any such transfer with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the securities laws of any applicable state or jurisdiction. The Loan Trustee shall make a notation on each new Equipment Note of the amount of all payments of principal amount previously made on the old Equipment Note or Equipment Notes with respect to which such new Equipment Note is issued and the date to which interest on such old Equipment Note or Equipment Notes has been paid. Principal, interest and all other amounts shall be deemed to have been paid on such new Equipment Note to the date on which such amounts shall have been paid on such old Equipment Note. The Company shall not be required to exchange any surrendered Equipment Notes as provided above (a) during the ten-day period preceding the due date of any payment on such Equipment Note or (b) that has been called for redemption. The Company and the Loan Trustee shall in all cases deem and treat the Person in whose name any Equipment Note shall have been issued and registered on the Equipment Note Register as the absolute owner and Noteholder of such Equipment Note for the purpose of receiving payment of all amounts payable with respect to such Equipment Note and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Loan Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. The Loan Trustee will promptly notify the Company of each registration of a transfer of an Equipment Note. Any such transferee of an Equipment Note, by its acceptance of an Equipment Note, agrees to the provisions of the Operative Documents applicable to Noteholders, and shall be deemed to have represented, warranted and covenanted to the parties to the Participation Agreement as to the matters represented, warranted and covenanted by the Noteholders, including the Pass Through Trustees, in the Participation Agreement. Subject to compliance by the Noteholder and its transferee (if any) of the requirements set forth in this Section 2.07 and in Section 2.09, the Loan Trustee and the Company shall use all reasonable efforts to issue new Equipment Notes upon 14
19 transfer or exchange within ten Business Days of the date an Equipment Note is surrendered for transfer or exchange. Section 2.08. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Equipment Notes. If any Equipment Note becomes mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company shall, upon the written request of the holder of such Equipment Note and subject to satisfaction of this Section 2.08 and of Section 2.09, execute and the Loan Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in replacement thereof a new Equipment Note of the same Series, payable in the same principal amount, dated the same date and captioned as issued in connection with the Aircraft. If the Equipment Note being replaced has become mutilated, such Equipment Note shall be surrendered to the Loan Trustee, and a photocopy thereof shall be furnished to the Company. If the Equipment Note being replaced has been destroyed, lost or stolen, the holder of such Equipment Note shall furnish to the Company and the Loan Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save the Company and the Loan Trustee harmless and evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Loan Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft of such Equipment Note and of the ownership thereof. Section 2.09. Payment of Expenses on Transfer; Cancellation. (a) No service charge shall be made to a Noteholder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Equipment Notes, but the Loan Trustee, as Equipment Note Registrar, may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any Tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Equipment Notes. (b) The Loan Trustee shall cancel all Equipment Notes surrendered for replacement, redemption, transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and shall destroy the canceled Equipment Notes. Section 2.10. Mandatory Redemption of Equipment Notes. The Company shall redeem the Equipment Notes in whole in connection with an Event of Loss in respect of the Airframe or the Airframe and the Engines installed thereon (unless the Company shall have performed the option set forth in Section 7.05(a)(i) with respect thereto) on or before the Loss Payment Date at a redemption price equal to 100% of the unpaid principal amount thereof, together with all accrued interest thereon to (but excluding) the date of redemption, but without any Make-Whole Amount. Section 2.11. Voluntary Redemption of Equipment Notes. All, but not less than all, of the Equipment Notes may be redeemed in whole by the Company upon at least 20 days' revocable prior written notice to the Loan Trustee at a redemption price equal to 100% of the unpaid principal amount of the Equipment Notes being redeemed, together with accrued interest thereon to (but excluding) the date of redemption and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the Participation Agreement to the Noteholders plus the Make-Whole Amount, if any. Any notice shall become irrevocable three days before the redemption date if not previously revoked. 15
20 Section 2.12. Redemptions; Notice of Redemptions; Repurchases. (a) No redemption of any Equipment Note may be made except to the extent and in the manner expressly permitted by this Indenture. At such time as no Pass Through Certificates are outstanding, the Company may at any time repurchase any of the Equipment Notes at any price in the open market and may hold, resell or surrender such Equipment Notes to the Loan Trustee for cancellation. (b) Notice of redemption with respect to the Equipment Notes shall be given by the Loan Trustee by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 15 nor more than 60 days prior to the applicable redemption date, to each Noteholder at such Noteholder's address appearing in the Equipment Note Register. All notices of redemption shall state: (1) the redemption date, (2) the applicable basis for determining the redemption price, (3) that on the redemption date, the redemption price will become due and payable upon each such Equipment Note, and that, if any such Equipment Notes are then outstanding, interest on such Equipment Notes shall cease to accrue on and after such redemption date and (4) the place or places where such Equipment Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price.

Upon surrender of any such Equipment Note for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Equipment Note shall be redeemed at the redemption price. Section 2.13. Subordination.

32 applied as set forth in Section 3.03; or (C) exercise any other remedy of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York (whether or not in effect in the jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought). Upon every such taking of possession of Collateral under this Section 4.02, the Loan Trustee may, from time to time, at the expense of the Collateral, make all such expenditures for maintenance, insurance, repairs, alterations, additions and improvements to and of the Collateral as it may deem proper.

33 offered for sale pursuant to this Section 4.02 and to credit against the purchase price bid at such sale by such Noteholders all or any part of the unpaid amounts owing to such Noteholders under the Operative Documents and secured by the Lien of this Indenture (but only to the extent that such purchase price would have been paid to such Noteholders pursuant to Article III if such purchase price were paid in cash and the foregoing provision of this Section 4.02(b) were not given effect). The Loan Trustee may exercise such right without possession or production of the Equipment Notes or proof of ownership thereof, and as a representative of the Noteholders may exercise such right without notice to the Noteholders as parties to any suit or proceeding relating to the foreclosure of any Collateral. The Company shall also be entitled to bid for and become the purchaser of any Collateral offered for sale pursuant to this Section 4.02. (c) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company irrevocably appoints, while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Loan Trustee the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the Company (which appointment is coupled with an interest) in its name and stead and on its behalf, for the purpose of effectuating any sale, assignment, transfer or delivery for the enforcement of the Lien of this 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 may be necessary or appropriate, with full power of substitution, the Company hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney or any substitute shall do by virtue hereof in accordance with applicable law; provided that if so requested by the Loan Trustee or any purchaser, the Company shall ratify and confirm any such sale, assignment or transfer of 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. (d) At any time after the Loan Trustee has declared the unpaid principal amount of all Equipment Notes then outstanding to be due and payable and prior to the sale of any part of the Collateral pursuant to this Article IV, a Majority in Interest of Noteholders, by written notice to the Company and the Loan Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: (i) there has been paid to or deposited with the Loan Trustee an amount sufficient to pay all overdue installments of principal amount of, and interest on, the Equipment Notes, and all other amounts owing under the Operative Documents, that have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and (ii) all other Events of Default, other than nonpayment of principal amount or interest on the Equipment Notes that have become due solely because of such acceleration, have been cured or waived. (e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein, so long as the Pass Through Trustee under any Pass Through Trust Agreement or the Subordination Agent on its behalf is a Noteholder, the Loan Trustee will not be authorized or empowered to acquire title to any Collateral or take any action with respect to any Collateral so acquired by it if such acquisition or action would cause any Pass Through Trust to fail to qualify as a "grantor trust" for federal income tax purposes. 29
34 Section 4.03. Remedies Cumulative. To the extent permitted under applicable law, each and every right, power and remedy specifically given to the Loan Trustee herein or otherwise in this Indenture shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy specifically given herein or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically given herein or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the 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 the pursuance of any remedy shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, 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. Section 4.04. Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case the Loan Trustee shall have instituted any proceedings to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Indenture by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Loan Trustee, then and in every such case the Company and the Loan Trustee shall, subject to any determination in such proceedings, be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Loan Trustee shall continue as if no such proceedings had been undertaken (but otherwise without prejudice). Section 4.05. Waiver of Past Defaults. Upon written instruction from a Majority in Interest of Noteholders, the Loan Trustee shall waive any past default hereunder and its consequences, and upon any such waiver such default shall cease to exist and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of the Operative Documents, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon; provided, however, that in the absence of written instructions from each of the affected Noteholders, the Loan Trustee shall not waive any default (i) in the payment of the principal amount, Make-Whole Amount, if any, or interest due under any Equipment Note then outstanding (other than with the consent of the holder thereof), or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which, under Article IX, cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each such affected Noteholder. Section 4.06. Noteholders May Not Bring Suit Except Under Certain Conditions. A Noteholder of any Series shall not have the right to institute any suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity or otherwise with respect to this Indenture for the appointment of a receiver or for the enforcement of any other remedy under this Indenture, unless: (1) such Noteholder previously shall have given written notice to the Loan Trustee of a continuing Event of Default; 30
35 (2) A Majority in Interest of Noteholders shall have requested the Loan Trustee in writing to institute such action, suit or proceeding and shall have offered to the Loan Trustee indemnity as provided in Section 5.03; (3) the Loan Trustee shall have refused or neglected to institute any such action, suit or proceeding for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity; and (4) no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Loan Trustee during such 60-day period by a Majority in Interest of Noteholders. Except to the extent provided in the Intercreditor Agreement or in any Indenture Supplement, it is understood and intended that no one or more of the Noteholders of any Series shall have any right in any manner whatsoever hereunder or under the Indenture Supplement or under the Equipment Notes of such Series to (i) surrender, impair, waive, affect, disturb or prejudice any Collateral, or the Lien of the Indenture on any Collateral, or the rights of the Noteholders of such Series, (ii) obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference with respect to any other such Noteholder of such Series or (iii) enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner provided in this Indenture and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all the Noteholders of such Series subject to the provisions of this Indenture. ARTICLE V DUTIES OF THE LOAN TRUSTEE Section 5.01. Notice of Event of Default. If the Loan Trustee shall have knowledge of an Event of Default or of a default arising from a failure by the Company to pay when due any payment of principal amount, interest or Make-Whole Amount, if any, due and payable under any Equipment Note, the Loan Trustee shall promptly give notice thereof to the Company and each Noteholder by telegram, cable, facsimile or telephone (to be promptly confirmed in writing); provided, however, that except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal amount, interest or Make-Whole Amount, if any, due and payable under any Equipment Note, the Loan Trustee shall be protected in withholding the notice to the Noteholders required in the foregoing part of this sentence if and so long as the executive committee or trust committee of directors of the Loan Trustee and/or trust officers thereof in good faith determine that withholding such notice is in the interest of the Noteholders. Subject to the terms of Sections 4.02, 4.05, 5.02 and 5.03, the Loan Trustee shall take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default (including with respect to the exercise of any rights or remedies hereunder) as the Loan Trustee shall be instructed in writing by a Majority in Interest of Noteholders. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.03, if the Loan Trustee shall not have received instructions as above 31
36 provided within 20 Business Days after giving notice of such Event of Default to the Noteholders, the Loan Trustee may, subject to instructions thereafter received pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 5.01, take such action, or refrain from taking such action, but shall be under no duty to take or refrain from taking any action, with respect to such Event of Default as it shall reasonably determine to be advisable in the best interests of the Noteholders and shall use the same degree of care and skill in connection therewith as a prudent person would use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs; provided that the Loan Trustee may not sell the Airframe or any Engine without the consent of a Majority in Interest of Noteholders. For all purposes of this Indenture, in the absence of actual knowledge, the Loan Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a default or an Event of Default unless notified in writing by the Company or one or more Noteholders; and "actual knowledge" (as used in the foregoing clause) of the Loan Trustee shall mean actual knowledge of an officer in the Corporate Trust Division of the Loan Trustee; provided, however, that the Loan Trustee shall be deemed to have actual knowledge of (i) the failure of the Company to pay any principal amount of, or interest on, the Equipment Notes directly to the Loan Trustee when the same shall become due or (ii) the failure of the Company to maintain insurance as required under Section 7.06 if the Loan Trustee receives written notice thereof from an insurer or insurance broker. Section 5.02. Action upon Instructions; Certain Rights and Limitations. Subject to the terms of Article IV and this Article V, upon the written instructions at any time of a Majority in Interest of Noteholders, the Loan Trustee shall promptly (i) give such notice, direction, consent, waiver or approval or exercise such right, remedy or power hereunder in respect of all or any part of the Collateral or (ii) take such other action, as shall be specified in such instructions. The Loan Trustee will cooperate with the Company in connection with the recording, filing, re-recording and refiling of the Indenture and any supplements to it and any financing statements or other documents as is necessary to maintain the perfection hereof or otherwise protect the security interests created hereby. The Loan Trustee shall furnish to the Company upon request such information and copies of such documents as the Loan Trustee may have and as are necessary for the Company to perform its duties under Article II hereof. Section 5.03. Indemnification. The Loan Trustee shall not be required to take any action or refrain from taking any action under Sections 5.01 (other than the first sentence thereof) or 5.02 or Article IV unless it shall have received indemnification against any risks incurred in connection therewith in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to it, including, without limitation, adequate advances against costs that may be incurred by it in connection therewith. The Loan Trustee shall not be required to take any action under Section 5.01 (other than the first sentence thereof) or 5.02 or Article IV, nor shall any other provision of any Operative Document be deemed to impose a duty on the Loan Trustee to take any action, if the Loan Trustee shall have been advised by outside counsel that such action is contrary to the terms hereof or is otherwise contrary to law. 32
37 Section 5.04. No Duties Except as Specified in Indenture or Instructions. The Loan Trustee shall not have any duty or obligation to manage, control, lease, use, sell, operate, store, dispose of or otherwise deal with the Aircraft or any other part of the Collateral, or to otherwise take or refrain from taking any action under, or in connection with, this Indenture, except as expressly provided by the terms of this Indenture or the Participation Agreement or as expressly provided in written instructions received pursuant to the terms of Section 5.01 or 5.02; and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Loan Trustee. Section 5.05. No Action Except under Indenture or Instructions. The Loan Trustee agrees that it will not manage, control, use, sell, lease, operate, store, dispose of or otherwise deal with the Aircraft or any other part of the Collateral except in accordance with the powers granted to, or the authority conferred upon, the Loan Trustee pursuant to this Indenture and in accordance with the express terms hereof. Section 5.06. Investment of Amounts Held by the Loan Trustee. Any monies (including for the purpose of this Section 5.06 any cash deposited with the Loan Trustee by the Company, any cash received by the Loan Trustee pursuant to Sections 7.05(c) or 7.06(d) or otherwise) or Permitted Investments purchased by the use of such cash pursuant to this Section 5.06 or any cash constituting the proceeds of the maturity, sale or other disposition of any Permitted Investments) held by the Loan Trustee hereunder as part of the Collateral, until paid out by the Loan Trustee as herein provided, (i) subject to clause (ii) below, may be carried by the Loan Trustee on deposit with itself or on deposit to its account with any bank, trust company or national banking association incorporated or doing business under the laws of the United States or one of the states thereof having combined capital and surplus and retained earnings of a least $75,000,000, and the Loan Trustee shall not have any liability for interest upon any such monies except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Company, or (ii) at any time and from time to time, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at the request of the Company, shall be invested and reinvested in Permitted Investments as specified in such request (if such investments are reasonably available for purchase) and sold, in any case at such prices, including accrued interest or its equivalent, as are set forth in such request, and such Permitted Investments shall be held by the Loan Trustee in trust as part of the Collateral until so sold; provided that the Company shall upon demand pay to the Loan Trustee the amount of any loss realized upon maturity, sale or other disposition of any such Permitted Investment and, so long as no Event of Default or Payment Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company shall be entitled to receive from the Loan Trustee, and the Loan Trustee shall promptly pay to the Company, any profit, income, interest, dividend or gain realized upon maturity, sale or other disposition of any Permitted Investment. If an Event of Default or Payment 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 shall be held as part of the Collateral 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 pursuant to 33
38 which such amounts were required to be held. The Loan Trustee shall not be responsible for any losses on any investments or sales of Permitted Investments made pursuant to the procedure specified in this Section 5.06 other than by reason of its willful misconduct or negligence. If any moneys or investments are held by the Loan Trustee solely because an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and such moneys or investments have been held for a period of 90 consecutive days during which such Event of Default is continuing without any remedial action being taken by the Loan Trustee in respect of such Event of Default pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof, and provided that there is no stay, moratorium or injunction in effect preventing the taking of such action, then, notwithstanding any other provision of the Operative Documents, all such moneys and investments held by the Loan Trustee shall be released to the Company on such 90th day, or as soon thereafter as practicable.

The Loan Trustee may accept a copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors of any party to the Participation Agreement, certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of such party as duly adopted and in full force and effect, as conclusive evidence that such resolution has been duly adopted and that the same is in full force and effect. As to any fact or matter the manner of ascertainment of which is not specifically described herein, the Loan Trustee may for all purposes hereof rely on a certificate, signed by a duly authorized officer of the Company, as to such fact or matter, and such certificate shall constitute full protection to the Loan Trustee for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in reliance thereon. In the administration of the trusts hereunder, the Loan Trustee may, with the consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), (a) execute any of the trusts or powers hereof and perform its powers and duties hereunder directly or through agents (including paying agents or registrars) or attorneys, and (b) at the expense of the Collateral, consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled Persons to be selected and retained by it. The Loan Trustee shall not be liable for anything done, suffered or omitted in good faith by it in accordance with the advice or opinion of any such counsel, accountants or other skilled Persons acting within such counsel's, accountants' or Person's area of competence (so long as the Loan Trustee shall have exercised reasonable care and judgment in selecting such Persons).

The Loan Trustee shall be fully protected for acting in accordance with any instructions received under this Section 6.06. 35

The Company 39
44 shall promptly notify the Loan Trustee and the Rating Agencies of the existence of any such lease with a term in excess of one year. The Loan Trustee, and each Noteholder by acceptance of an Equipment Note, agrees, for the benefit of the lessor or secured party of any airframe or engine leased to the Company (or any Permitted Lessee) or purchased or owned by the Company (or any Permitted Lessee) subject to a conditional sale or other security agreement, that the Loan Trustee and the Noteholders will not acquire or claim, as against such lessor or secured party, any right, title or interest in (A) 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 or (B) any airframe 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 any Engine being installed on such airframe at any time while such airframe is 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 7.02(a). (b) Operation and Use. The Company agrees that the Aircraft will not be maintained, used or operated in violation of any law, rule or regulation of any government of any country having jurisdiction over the Aircraft or in violation of any airworthiness certificate, license or registration relating to the Aircraft issued by any such government, except to the extent the Company is contesting in good faith the validity or application of any such law, rule or regulation in any manner that does not involve any material risk of sale, forfeiture or loss of the Aircraft or materially impair the Lien of this Indenture; and provided, that the Company shall not be in default under, or required to take any action set forth in, 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). The Company will not operate the Aircraft, or permit the Aircraft to be operated or located, (i) in any area excluded from coverage by any insurance required by the terms of Section 7.06 or (ii) in any war zone or recognized or, in the Company's judgment, threatened areas of hostilities unless covered by war risk insurance in accordance with Section 7.06, unless in the case of either clause (i) or (ii), (x) indemnification complying with Section 7.06 (a) and (b) has been provided or (y) the Aircraft is only temporarily located in such area as a result of an isolated occurrence or isolated series of occurrences attributable to a hijacking, medical emergency, equipment malfunction, weather conditions, navigational error or other similar unforseen circumstances and the Company is using its good faith efforts to remove the Aircraft from such area as promptly as practicable. 40
45 (c) Maintenance.

In any case the Aircraft will be maintained in accordance with the maintenance standards required by or substantially equivalent to those required by the FAA or the central aviation authority of Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland or the United Kingdom. The Company shall maintain or cause to be maintained all records, logs and other documents required to be maintained in respect of the Aircraft by appropriate authorities in the jurisdiction in which the Aircraft is registered. (d) Identification of Loan Trustee's Interest. The Company agrees to affix as promptly as practicable after the Closing Date and thereafter to maintain in the cockpit of the Aircraft, in a clearly visible location, and (if not prevented by applicable law or regulations or by any government) on each Engine, a nameplate bearing the inscription "MORTGAGED TO STATE STREET BANK AND TRUST COMPANY OF CONNECTICUT, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, AS LOAN TRUSTEE" (such nameplate to be replaced, if necessary, with a nameplate reflecting the name of any successor Loan Trustee). (e) Registration. The Company shall cause the Aircraft to remain duly registered, under the laws of the United States, in the name of the Company except as otherwise required by the Transportation Code; provided that the Loan Trustee shall, at the Company's expense, execute and deliver all such documents as the Company may reasonably request for the purpose of continuing such registration. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Company, at its own expense, may cause or allow the Aircraft to be duly registered under the laws of any foreign jurisdiction in which a Permitted Lessee could be principally based, in the name of the Company or of any nominee of the Company, or, if required by applicable law, in the name of any other Person (and, following any such foreign registration, may cause the Aircraft to be re-registered under the laws of the United States); provided, that in the case of jurisdictions other than those approved by the Loan Trustee with the consent of a Majority in Interest of the Noteholders (i) if such jurisdiction is at the time of registration listed on Exhibit B, the Loan Trustee shall have received at the time of such registration an opinion of counsel to the Company to the effect that (A) this Indenture and the Loan Trustee's right to repossession thereunder is valid and enforceable under the laws of such country, (B) after giving effect to such change in registration, the Lien of this Indenture shall continue as a valid Lien and shall be duly perfected in the new jurisdiction of registration and that 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 such time, (x) the opinion shall detail 41
46 what filing, recording or other action is necessary and (y) the Loan Trustee shall have received a certificate from a Responsible Officer of the Company 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 promptly delivered to the Loan Trustee subsequent to the effective date of such change in registration), (C) the obligations of the Company under this Indenture shall remain valid, binding and (subject to customary bankruptcy and equitable remedies exceptions and to other exceptions customary in foreign opinions generally) enforceable under the laws of such jurisdiction (or the laws of the jurisdiction to which the laws of such jurisdiction would refer as the applicable governing law) and (D) all approvals or consents of any government in such jurisdiction having jurisdiction required for such change in registration shall have been duly obtained and shall be in full force and effect, and (ii) if such jurisdiction is at the time of registration not listed on Exhibit B, the Loan Trustee shall have received (in addition to the opinions set forth in clause (i) above) at the time of such registration an opinion of counsel to the Company to the effect that (A) the terms of this Indenture are legal, valid, binding and enforceable in such jurisdiction (subject to exceptions customary in such jurisdiction, provided, that, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally, and to general principles of equity, any applicable laws limiting the remedies provided in Section 4.02 do not in the opinion of such counsel make the remedies provided in Section 4.02 inadequate for the practical realization of the rights and benefits provided thereby), (B) that it is not necessary for the Loan Trustee to register or qualify to do business in such jurisdiction, (C) that there is no tort liability of the lender of an aircraft not in possession thereof under the laws of such jurisdiction other than tort liability that might have been imposed on such lender under the laws of the United States or any state thereof (it being understood that such opinion shall be waived if insurance reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee is provided, at the Company's expense, to cover such risk) and (D) (unless the Company shall have agreed to provide insurance covering the risk of requisition of use or title of the Aircraft by the government of such jurisdiction so long as the Aircraft is registered under the laws of such jurisdiction) that the laws of such jurisdiction require fair compensation by the government of such jurisdiction payable in currency freely convertible into Dollars for the loss of use or title of the Aircraft in the event of requisition by such government of such use or title. The Loan Trustee will cooperate with the Company in effecting such foreign registration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to any such change in the country of registry of the Aircraft, the following conditions shall be met (or waived as provided in Section 6.01(b) of the Participation Agreement): (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the effective date of the change in registration; provided, that it shall not be necessary to comply with this condition if the change in registration results in the registration of the Aircraft under the laws of the United States or if a Majority in Interest of Noteholders consents to such change in registration; (ii) the Loan Trustee shall have received evidence of compliance with the insurance provisions contained herein after giving effect to such change in registration; and 42
47 (iii) the Company shall have paid or made provision reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee for the payment of all reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) of the Loan Trustee and the Noteholders in connection with such change in registration. Section 7.03. Inspection; Financial Information. (a) Inspection. At all reasonable times, but upon at least 15 Business Days' prior written notice to the Company, the Loan Trustee or its authorized representative may, subject to the other conditions of this Section 7.03(a), inspect the Aircraft and may inspect the books and records of the Company required to be maintained by the FAA or the government of another jurisdiction in which the Aircraft is then registered relating to the maintenance of the Aircraft; provided that (i) such Loan Trustee or its representative, as the case may be, shall be fully insured at no cost to the Company in a manner satisfactory to the Company with respect to any risks incurred in connection with any such inspection or shall provide to the Company a written release satisfactory to the Company with respect to such risks, (ii) 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, (iii) any such inspection of the Aircraft shall be a visual, walk-around inspection of the interior and exterior of the Aircraft and shall not include opening any panels, bays or the like without the Company's express consent, which consent the Company may in its sole discretion withhold, and (iv) no exercise of such inspection right shall interfere with the use, operation or maintenance of the Aircraft by, or the business of, the Company and the Company shall not be required to undertake or incur any additional liabilities in connection therewith. All information obtained in connection with any such inspection of the Aircraft and of such books and records shall be Confidential Information and shall be treated by the Loan Trustee and its representatives in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.16. Any inspection pursuant to this Section 7.03(a) shall be at the sole risk (including, without limitation, any risk of personal injury or death) and expense of the Loan Trustee (or its representative) making such inspection. Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, all inspections by the Loan Trustee and its representatives provided for under this Section 7.03(a) shall be limited to one inspection of any kind contemplated by this Section 7.03(a) during any calendar year. (b) Financial Information. So long as any of the Equipment Notes remain unpaid, the Company agrees to furnish to the Loan Trustee and the Liquidity Provider: (i) within 60 days after the end of each of the first three quarterly periods in each fiscal year of the Company, either (x) 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 for such period or (y) a report of the Company on Form 10-Q in respect of such period in the form filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and (ii) within 120 days after the close of each fiscal year of the Company, either (x) 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 for such fiscal year, certified by independent public accountants, or (y) a report of the 43
48 Company on Form 10-K in respect of such year in the form filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. (c) Annual Opinion. The Company will furnish to the Loan Trustee annually (but not later than March 15th of each year) after the execution hereof until such time as the principal of, and interest on, and all other amounts with respect to, the Equipment Notes shall have been paid in full, commencing with the year 2000, an opinion of Crowe & Dunlevy, P.C., or other counsel reasonably acceptable to the Loan 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 this Indenture 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 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 security interests. Section 7.04. Replacement and Pooling of Parts; Alterations, Modifications and Additions; Substitution of Engines. (a) Replacement of Parts. The Company shall promptly replace all Parts that may from time to time be incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or any Engine and that 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 7.04(c) or if the Airframe or an Engine to which a Part relates has suffered an Event of Loss. In addition, the Company may 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 7.04(c), will replace such Parts as promptly as practicable. All replacement Parts shall be free and clear of all Liens (except for Permitted Liens and except in the case of replacement property temporarily installed on an emergency basis) 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. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.04(c), 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 that have been incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or such Engine and that 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 (except in the case of replacement property temporarily installed on an emergency basis), without further act, (i) the replaced Part shall thereupon be free and clear of all rights of the Loan Trustee and of the Lien of this Indenture and shall no longer be deemed a Part hereunder and (ii) such replacement Part shall become subject to the Lien of this Indenture and be deemed a 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. Upon request of the Company from time to time, the Loan Trustee 44
49 shall execute and deliver to the Company an appropriate instrument confirming the release of any such replaced Part from the Lien of this Indenture. (b) Pooling of Parts. Any Part removed from the Airframe or any Engine as provided in Section 7.04(a) may be subjected by the Company or a Person permitted to be in possession of the Aircraft to a pooling arrangement customary in the airline industry entered into in the ordinary course of the Company's or such Person's business; 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 7.04(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 any Engine may be owned by any third party subject to such a pooling arrangement; provided that the Company, at its expense, as promptly thereafter as practicable, either (i) causes title to such replacement Part to vest in the Company free and clear of all Liens (except 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 in the manner contemplated by Section 7.04(a). (c) Alterations, Modifications and Additions. The Company 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 applicable requirements of the FAA or any applicable government of any other jurisdiction in which the Aircraft may then be registered; provided, however, that the Company may, in good faith, contest the validity or application of any such requirement in any manner that does not involve any material risk of sale, loss or forfeiture of the Aircraft and does not materially adversely affect the Loan Trustee's interest in the Aircraft. In addition, the Company, at its own expense, may from time to time add further parts or accessories and 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 (without replacement) of Parts, provided that no such alteration, modification or addition shall materially diminish the value or utility of the Airframe or such Engine below its value or utility, immediately prior to such alteration, modification or addition, assuming that the Airframe or such Engine was then in the condition required to be maintained by the terms of this Indenture, except that the value (but not the utility) of the Airframe or any Engine may be reduced by the value of any such Parts that shall have been removed that the Company deems obsolete or no longer suitable or appropriate for use on the Airframe or any Engine. 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 from the Airframe or any Engine if such Part: (i) is in addition to, and not in replacement of or substitution for, any Part originally incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or such Engine at the time of delivery thereof to the Company or any Part in replacement of, or substitution for, any such Part, (ii) is not required to be incorporated or installed in or attached or added to the Airframe or such Engine pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 7.04(c) or (iii) can be removed from the Airframe or 45
50 such Engine without materially diminishing the value or utility required to be maintained by the terms of this Indenture that the Airframe or such Engine would have had at such time had such removal not occurred. Upon the removal by the Company of any Part as permitted by this Section 7.04(c), such removed Part shall, without further act, be free and clear of all rights and interests of the Loan Trustee and the Lien of this Indenture and shall no longer be deemed a Part hereunder. Upon request of the Company from time to time, the Loan Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Company an appropriate instrument confirming the release of any such removed Part from the Lien of this Indenture. (d) Substitution of Engines. The Company shall have the right at its option at any time, on at least 30 days' prior written notice to the Loan Trustee, to substitute a Replacement Engine for any Engine. In such event, and prior to the date of such substitution, the Company shall replace such Engine hereunder by complying with the terms of Section 7.05(b) to the same extent as if an Event of Loss had occurred with respect to such Engine. Section 7.05. Loss, Destruction or Requisition. (a) Event of Loss with Respect to the Airframe. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Loss with respect to the Airframe or the Airframe and the Engines then installed thereon, the Company shall forthwith (and, in any event, within 15 days after such occurrence) give the Loan Trustee written notice of such Event of Loss, and, within 90 days after such Event of Loss, the Company shall give the Loan Trustee written notice of its election to perform one of the following options (it being agreed that if the Company shall not have given such notice of election within such 90-day period, the Company shall be deemed to have elected to perform the option set forth in the following clause (ii)). The Company may elect either to: (i) on or before the Loss Payment Date (as defined below) substitute, as replacement for the Airframe or Airframe and Engines with respect to which an Event of Loss has occurred, a Replacement Airframe (together with a number of Replacement Engines equal to the number of Engines, if any, with respect to which the Event of Loss occurred), such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines to be owned by the Company free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens); provided that if the Company shall not perform its obligation to effect such substitution under this clause (i) on or prior to the Loss Payment Date, then the Company shall on the Loss Payment Date prepay the Equipment Notes in full in accordance with Section 2.10; or (ii) on or before the Loss Payment Date, redeem the Equipment Notes in full in accordance with Section 2.10. The Company shall give the Loan Trustee 20 days prior written notice if it elects to redeem the Equipment Notes on any day prior to the Loss Payment Date. 46
51 The "Loss Payment Date" with respect to an Event of Loss means the Business Day next succeeding the 120th day following the date of occurrence of such Event of Loss. If the Company elects to substitute a Replacement Airframe (or a Replacement Airframe and one or more Replacement Engines, as the case may be) the Company shall, at its sole expense, not later than the Loss Payment Date, (A) cause an Indenture Supplement 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 Transportation Code or the applicable laws of such other jurisdiction in which the Aircraft may then be registered, (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 in order to perfect the Loan Trustee's interest therein in the United States, or in any other jurisdiction in which the Aircraft may then be registered, (C) furnish the Loan Trustee with an opinion of the Company's counsel (which may be the Company's General Counsel or such other internal counsel of the Company as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee) addressed to the Loan Trustee to the effect that upon such replacement, such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, will be subject to the Lien of this Indenture and addressing the matters set forth in clauses (A) and (B), (D) furnish the Loan 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 the Airframe and Engines, if any, so replaced, assuming the Airframe and such Engines were in the condition and repair required by the terms hereof immediately prior to the occurrence of such Event of Loss, (E) furnish the Loan Trustee with evidence of compliance with the insurance provisions of Section 7.06 with respect to such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, and (F) furnish the Loan Trustee with an opinion of the Company's counsel (which may be the Company's General Counsel or such other internal counsel of the Company as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee) to the effect that the Loan Trustee will be entitled to the benefits of Section 1110 with respect to the Replacement Airframe, provided that (i) such opinion need not be delivered to the extent that the benefits of Section 1110 were not, by reason of a change in law or governmental or judicial interpretation thereof, available to the Loan 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 the Company's counsel delivered pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Participation Agreement on the Closing Date and such other qualifications and assumptions as shall at the time be customary in opinions rendered in comparable circumstances. In the case of each Replacement Airframe or Replacement Airframe and one or more Replacement Engines subjected to the Lien of this Indenture under this Section 7.05(a), promptly upon the recordation of the Indenture Supplement covering such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, pursuant to the Transportation Code (or pursuant to the applicable law of such other jurisdiction in which such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, are registered), the Company will cause to be delivered to the Loan Trustee a favorable opinion of the Company's counsel (which may be the Company's General Counsel or such other internal 47
52 counsel to the Company as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee) addressed to the Loan Trustee as to the due registration of such Replacement Aircraft and the due recordation of such Indenture Supplement or such other requisite documents or instruments and the validity and perfection of the security interest in the Replacement Aircraft granted to the Loan Trustee under this Indenture. For all purposes hereof, upon the attachment of the Lien of this Indenture thereto, the Replacement Aircraft and Replacement Engines, if any, shall become part of the Collateral, the Replacement Airframe shall be deemed an "Airframe" as defined herein, and each such Replacement Engine shall be deemed an "Engine" as defined herein. Upon compliance with clauses (A) through (F) of the second preceding 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, all proceeds (including, without limitation, insurance proceeds), the Warranty Rights in respect of such replaced Airframe and Engines (if any) and all rights relating to the foregoing, from the Lien of this Indenture and assigning to the Company all claims against third Persons for damage to or loss of the Airframe and Engines arising from the Event of Loss. In the event that, after an Event of Loss, the Company performs the option set forth in clause (ii) of the first paragraph of this Section 7.05(a), the Loan Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Company an appropriate instrument releasing the Aircraft, all proceeds (including, without limitation, insurance proceeds), the Warranty Rights in respect of the Aircraft and all rights relating to the foregoing from the Lien of this Indenture and assigning to the Company all claims against third Persons for damage to or loss of the Aircraft arising from the Event of Loss. (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 120 days after the occurrence of such Event of Loss, cause to be subjected to the Lien of this Indenture, as replacement for the Engine with respect to which such Event of Loss occurred, a Replacement Engine free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens). Prior to or at the time of any replacement under this Section 7.05(b), the Company will (i) cause an Indenture Supplement covering such Replacement Engine to be delivered to the Loan Trustee for execution and, upon such execution, to be filed for recordation pursuant to the Transportation Code or the applicable laws of any other jurisdiction in which the Aircraft may be registered, (ii) cause a financing statement or statements with respect to such Replacement Engine or other requisite documents or instruments to be filed in such place or places as necessary in order to perfect the Loan Trustee's interest therein in the United States, or in such other jurisdiction in which the Engine may then be registered, (iii) furnish the Loan Trustee with an opinion of the Company's counsel (which may be the Company's General Counsel or such other internal counsel to the Company as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee) addressed to the Loan 48
53 Trustee to the effect that, upon such replacement, the Replacement Engine will be subject to the Lien of this Indenture, (iv) 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 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 (v) furnish the Loan Trustee with evidence of compliance with the insurance provisions of Section 7.06 with respect to such Replacement Engine. In the case of each Replacement Engine subjected to the Lien of this Indenture under this Section 7.05(b), promptly upon the recordation of the Indenture Supplement covering such Replacement Engine pursuant to the Transportation Code (or pursuant to the applicable law of such other jurisdiction in which the Aircraft is registered), the Company will cause to be delivered to the Loan Trustee an opinion of counsel to the Company (which may be the Company's General Counsel or such other internal counsel of the Company as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee) addressed to the Loan Trustee as to the due recordation of such Indenture Supplement or such other requisite documents or instruments and the validity and perfection of the security interest in the Replacement Engine granted to the Loan Trustee under this Indenture. For all purposes hereof, upon the attachment of the Lien of this Indenture thereto, the Replacement Engine shall become part of the Collateral and shall be deemed an "Engine" as defined herein. Upon compliance with clauses (i) through (v) of this paragraph, the Loan Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Company an appropriate instrument releasing such replaced Engine, any proceeds (including, without limitation, insurance proceeds), the Warranty Rights in respect of such replaced Engine and all rights relating to any of the foregoing from the Lien of this Indenture and assigning to the Company all claims against third Persons for damage to or loss of such Engine arising from the Event of Loss. (c) Application of Payments for Event of Loss from Requisition of Title or Use. Any payments (other than insurance proceeds the application of which is provided for in Section 7.06) received at any time by the Company or by the Loan Trustee from any government or other Person with respect to an Event of Loss to the Airframe or any Engine, will be applied as follows: (i) if such payments are received with respect to the Airframe or the Airframe and the Engines installed on the Airframe that has been or is being replaced by the Company pursuant to Section 7.05(a), such payments shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Loan Trustee and upon completion of such replacement shall 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 installed on the Airframe that has not been and will not be replaced pursuant to Section 7.05(a), so much of such payments remaining after reimbursement of the Loan Trustee for costs and expenses that shall not exceed the amounts required to be paid to the Noteholders pursuant to Section 2.10 shall be applied in reduction of the Company's obligation to pay such amounts, 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 49
54 and the balance, if any, of such payment remaining thereafter will be paid over to, or retained by, the Company; and (iii) if such payments are received with respect to an Engine with regard to which an Event of Loss has occurred as contemplated by Section 7.05(b), 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 7.05(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, including, without limitation, pursuant to the CRAF Program, of the Airframe and the Engines or engines installed on the Airframe that does not constitute an Event of Loss, all of the Company's rights and obligations under this Indenture with respect to the Airframe and such Engines shall continue to the same extent as if such requisition had not occurred; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company's obligations other than payment obligations shall only continue to the extent feasible. All payments received by the Company or the Loan Trustee from such government for such use of the Airframe and Engines or engines shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Company. (e) Requisition for Use by the Government of an Engine not Installed on the Airframe. In the event of the requisition for use by any government of any Engine not then installed on the Airframe, the Company will replace such Engine by complying with the terms of Section 7.05(b) to the same extent as if an Event of Loss had occurred with respect to such Engine. Upon such replacement, any payments received by the Company or the Loan Trustee from such government with respect to such requisition shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Company. (f) Application of Payments During Existence of Event of Default. Any amount referred to in Section 7.05 that is payable to or retainable by the Company shall not be paid to or retained by the Company if at the time of such payment or retention an Event of Default or Payment Default shall have occurred and be continuing, but shall be held by or paid over to the Loan Trustee as security for the obligations of the Company under this Indenture. At such time as there shall not be continuing any such Event of Default or Payment Default, such amount shall be paid to the Company. Section 7.06. Insurance. (a) Aircraft Liability Insurance. (i) Except as provided in clause (ii) of this subsection (a), and subject to the rights of the Company to establish and maintain self-insurance in the manner and to the extent specified in Section 7.06(c), the Company will carry, or cause to be carried, at no expense to the Loan Trustee, aircraft liability insurance (including, but not limited to, bodily injury, personal injury and property damage liability, exclusive of manufacturer's product liability insurance) and contractual liability insurance with respect to the Aircraft (A) in amounts that are not less than the aircraft liability insurance applicable to similar 50
55 aircraft and engines in the Company's fleet on which the Company carries insurance; provided that such liability insurance shall not be less than the amount certified in the insurance report delivered to the Loan Trustee on the Closing Date, (B) 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 (C) that is maintained in effect with insurers of recognized responsibility. Any policies of insurance carried in accordance with this Section 7.06(a) and any policies taken out in substitution or replacement for any of such policies shall (A) name the Loan Trustee, the Subordination Agent, each Pass Through Trustee and the Liquidity Provider as their Interests (as defined below in this Section 7.06) may appear, as additional insured (the "Additional Insureds"), (B) subject to the condition of clause (C) below, provide that, in respect of the interest of the Additional Insureds in such policies, the insurance shall not be invalidated by any action or inaction of the Company and shall insure the Additional Insureds' Interests as they appear, regardless of any breach or violation of any warranty, declaration or condition contained in such policies by the Company, (C) provide that, if such insurance is canceled for any reason whatever, or if any change is made in the policy that materially reduces the amount of insurance or the coverage certified in the insurance report delivered on the Closing Date to the Loan Trustee and the Liquidity Provider, or if such insurance is allowed to lapse for nonpayment of premium, such cancellation, change or lapse shall not be effective as to any Additional Insured for 30 days (seven days, or such other period as is customarily available in the industry, in the case of any war risk or allied perils coverage) after receipt by such Additional Insured of written notice from such insurers of such cancellation, change or lapse, (D) provide that the Additional Insureds shall have no obligation or liability for premiums, commissions, assessments or calls in connection with such insurance, (E) provide that the insurers shall waive any rights of (1) set-off, counterclaim or any other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, in respect of any liability of the Additional Insureds to the extent of any moneys due to the Additional Insureds and (2) subrogation against the Additional Insureds to the extent that the Company has waived its rights by its agreements to indemnify the Additional Insureds pursuant to the Operative Documents, (F) be primary without right of contribution from any other insurance that may be carried by each Additional Insured with respect to its interests as such in the Aircraft and (G) 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 7.06(a) and in Section 7.06(b) with respect to any Person means the interests of such Person in the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents. 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 by such government to indemnify the Company, or an insurance policy issued by such government, against any of the risks that the Company is required hereunder to insure against shall be considered adequate insurance for purposes of this Section 7.06(a) to the extent of the risks (and in the amounts) that are the subject of such indemnification or insurance. (ii) During any period that the Airframe or an Engine, as the case may be, is on the ground and not in operation, the Company may carry or cause to be carried as to such 51
56 non-operating Airframe or Engine, in lieu of the insurance required by clause (i) above, and subject to self-insurance to the extent permitted by Subsection 7.06(c), insurance otherwise conforming with the provisions of said clause (i) except that: (A) the amounts of coverage shall not be required to exceed the amounts of airline liability insurance from time to time applicable to airframes or engines owned or leased by the Company of the same type as such non-operating Airframe or Engine and that are on the ground and not in operation and (B) the scope of the risks covered and the type of insurance shall be the same as from time to time shall be applicable to airframes or engines owned or leased by the Company of the same type as such non-operating Airframe or Engine and that are on the ground and not in operation. (b) Insurance Against Loss or Damage to Aircraft. (i) Except as provided in clause (ii) of this subsection (b), and subject to the rights of the Company to establish and maintain self-insurance in the manner and to the extent specified in Section 7.06(c), the Company shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, in effect with insurers of recognized responsibility, at no expense to the Loan 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 insurance if and to the extent the same is maintained by the Company or any Permitted Lessee with respect to other aircraft owned or operated by the Company or such Permitted Lessee, as the case may be, on the same routes) that 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 (A) such insurance (including the permitted self-insurance) shall at all times while the Aircraft is subject to this Indenture be for an amount not less than 110% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Equipment Notes from time to time, (B) such insurance need not cover an Engine while attached to an airframe not owned, leased or operated by the Company and (C) such insurance covering Engines and Parts removed from an Airframe or an airframe or (in the case of Parts) an Engine need be obtained only to the extent available at reasonable cost (as reasonably determined by the Company). Any policies carried in accordance with this Section 7.06(b) and any policies taken out in substitution or replacement for any such policies shall (A) provide that any insurance proceeds up to an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Equipment Notes, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon, plus an amount equal to the interest that would accrue on the outstanding principal amount of the Equipment Notes at the Debt Rate in effect on the date of payment of such insurance proceeds to the Loan Trustee (as provided for in this sentence) during the period commencing on the day following the date of such payment to the Loan Trustee and ending on the Loss Payment Date (the "Loan Amount"), payable for any loss or damage constituting an Event of Loss with respect to the Aircraft and any insurance proceeds in excess of the amount set forth on Exhibit C up to the amount of the Loan Amount for any loss or damage to the Aircraft (or Engines) not constituting an Event of Loss with respect to the Aircraft (or Engines), shall be paid to the Loan Trustee as long as the Indenture shall not have been discharged, and that all other amounts shall be payable to the Company, unless the insurer shall have received notice that an Event of Default exists, in which case all insurance proceeds for any loss or damage to the Aircraft (or Engines) up to the Loan Amount shall be payable to the Loan Trustee, (B) subject to the conditions of clause (C) 52
57 below, provide that, in respect of the interests of the Additional Insureds in such policies, the insurance shall not be invalidated by any action or inaction of the Company and shall insure the Additional Insureds' Interests as they appear, regardless of any breach or violation of any warranty, declaration or condition contained in such policies by the Company, (C) provide that if such insurance is canceled for any reason whatsoever, or if any change is made in the policy that materially reduces the amount of insurance or the coverage certified in the insurance report delivered on the Closing Date to the Loan Trustee and the Liquidity Provider or if such insurance is allowed to lapse for nonpayment of premium, such cancellation, change or lapse shall not be effective as to the Additional Insureds for 30 days (seven days, or such other period as is customarily available in the industry, in the case of war risk or allied perils coverage) after receipt by the Additional Insureds of written notice from such insurers of such cancellation, change or lapse, (D) provide that the Additional Insureds shall have no obligation or liability for premiums, commissions, assessments or calls in connection with such insurance, (E) provide that the insurers shall waive rights of (1) setoff, counterclaim or any other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, in respect of any liability of the Additional Insureds to the extent of any moneys due to the Additional Insureds and (2) subrogation against the Additional Insureds to the extent the Company has waived its rights by its agreement to indemnify the Additional Insureds pursuant to the Operative Documents and (F) be primary without right of contribution from any other insurance that may be carried by any Additional Insured with respect to its Interests as such in the Aircraft. 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 by such government to indemnify the Company, or an insurance policy issued by such government, against any risks which the Company is required hereunder to insure against shall be considered adequate insurance for purposes of this Section 7.06(b) to the extent of the risks (and in the amounts) that are the subject of such indemnification or insurance. (ii) During any period that the Airframe or an Engine is on the ground and not in operation, the Company may carry or cause to be carried as to such non-operating Airframe or Engine, in lieu of the insurance required by clause (i) above, and subject to self-insurance to the extent permitted by Subsection 7.06(c), insurance otherwise conforming with the provisions of said clause (i) except that the scope of the risks covered and the type of insurance shall be the same as from time to time applicable to airframes and engines owned or leased by the Company (or, if a lease is then in effect, by the Permitted Lessee) of the same type as such non-operating Airframe or Engine and that are on the ground and not in operation; provided that, subject to self-insurance to the extent permitted by Subsection 7.06(c), the Company shall maintain insurance against risk of loss or damage to such non-operating Airframe or Engine in an amount at least equal to 110% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Equipment Notes during such period that such Airframe or Engine is on the ground and not in operation. (c) Self-Insurance. The Company may from time-to-time self-insure, by way of deductible, self-insured retention, premium adjustment or franchise or otherwise (including, with respect to insurance maintained pursuant to Subsections 7.06(a) or 7.06(b), insuring for a maximum 53
58 amount that is less than the amounts set forth in Sections 7.06(a) and 7.06(b)), the risks required to be insured against pursuant to Sections 7.06(a) and 7.06(b), but in no case shall the self-insurance 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 1% of the average aggregate insurable value (for the preceding policy year) of all aircraft (including, without limitation, the Aircraft) on which the Company carries insurance, unless an insurance broker of national standing shall certify that the standard among all other major United States airlines is a higher level of self-insurance, in which case the Company may self-insure the Aircraft to such higher level. In addition to the foregoing right to self-insure, the Company may self-insure to the extent of (1) any deductible per occurrence that, in the case of the Aircraft, is not in excess of the amount customarily allowed as a deductible in the industry or is required to facilitate claims handling or (2) any applicable mandatory minimum per aircraft (or if applicable per annum or other period) hull or liability insurance deductibles imposed by the aircraft or hull liability insurers. (d) Application of Insurance Payments. All losses will be adjusted by the Company with the insurers. 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 the Loan Amount 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: (i) if such payments are received with respect to the Airframe or the Airframe and any Engines installed on the Airframe that has been or is being replaced by the Company pursuant to Section 7.05(a), such payments shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Loan Trustee and upon completion of such replacement shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Company. (ii) if such payments are received with respect to the Airframe or the Airframe and any Engines installed on the Airframe that has not been and will not be replaced as contemplated by Section 7.05(a), so much of such payments remaining after reimbursement of the Loan Trustee for its costs and expenses as shall not exceed the amounts required to be paid by the Company pursuant to Section 2.10 shall be applied in reduction of the Company's obligation to pay such amounts, 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 payment remaining thereafter will be paid over to, or retained by, the Company; and (iii) if such payments are received with respect to an Engine with regard to which an Event of Loss contemplated by Section 7.05(b) has occurred, so much of such payments remaining after reimbursement of the Loan Trustee for its costs and expenses shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Company; provided that the Company shall have fully performed 54
59 the terms of Section 7.05(b) with respect to the Event of Loss for which such payments are made. In all events, the insurance payment of any property damage loss received under policies maintained by the Company in excess of the Loan Amount for the Aircraft shall be paid to the Company. 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 the Company) for repairs or for replacement property in accordance with the terms of Sections 7.02 and 7.04, and any balance remaining after compliance with such Sections with respect to such loss or damage shall be paid to the Company. Any amount referred to in the preceding sentence or in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the second preceding paragraph that 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 Event of Default or Payment Default 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 Event of Default or Payment Default, such amount shall, to the extent not theretofore applied as provided herein, be paid to the Company. (e) Reports, Etc. On or before the Closing Date and annually upon renewal of the Company's insurance coverage, the Company will furnish to the Loan Trustee and the Liquidity Provider a report signed by a firm of independent aircraft insurance brokers appointed by the Company (which brokers may be in the regular employ of 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 Confidential Information and shall be treated by the Loan Trustee and the Liquidity Provider and each of their affiliates and officers, directors, agents and employees in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.16. The Company will cause such firm to advise the Loan Trustee and the Liquidity Provider in writing of any act or omission on the part of the Company of which such firm has knowledge that 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 and the Liquidity Provider in writing as promptly as practicable after such firm acquires knowledge that an interruption of any insurance carried and maintained on the Aircraft pursuant to this Section 7.06 will occur. Such information may only be provided to other Persons in accordance with Section 10.16. (f) Salvage Rights; Other. All salvage rights to the Airframe and each Engine shall remain with the Company's insurers at all times, and any insurance policies of the Loan Trustee insuring the Airframe or any Engine shall provide for a release to the Company of any and all salvage rights in and to the Airframe or any Engine. Neither the Loan Trustee nor any Noteholder may, directly or indirectly, obtain insurance for its own account with respect to the Airframe or any Engine if such insurance would limit or otherwise adversely affect the coverage or 55
60 amounts payable under, or increase the premiums for, any insurance required to be maintained pursuant to this Section 7.06 or any other insurance maintained with respect to the Aircraft of any other aircraft in the Company's fleet. ARTICLE VIII SUCCESSOR AND ADDITIONAL TRUSTEES Section 8.01 Resignation or Removal; Appointment of Successor. (a) The resignation or removal of the Loan Trustee and the appointment of a successor Loan Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Loan Trustee's acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 8.01. The Loan Trustee or any successor thereto must resign if at any time it ceases to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.01(c) and may resign at any time without cause by giving at least 60 days' prior written notice to the Company and each Noteholder. In addition, either the Company (so long as no Event of Default or Payment Default shall have occurred and be continuing) or a Majority in Interest of Noteholders (but only with the consent of the Company so long as no Event of Default or Payment Default shall have occurred and be continuing), may at any time remove the Loan Trustee without cause by an instrument in writing delivered to the Loan Trustee and each Noteholder, and, in case of a removal by a Majority in Interest of Noteholders, to the Company. In the case of the resignation or removal of the Loan Trustee, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Loan Trustee. If a successor Loan Trustee shall not have been appointed within 60 days after such notice of resignation or removal, the Loan Trustee, the Company or any Noteholder may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Loan Trustee to act until such time, if any, as a successor shall have been appointed as above provided. The successor Loan Trustee so appointed by such court shall immediately and without further act be superseded by any successor Loan Trustee appointed as above provided. (b) Any successor Loan Trustee, however appointed, shall execute and deliver to the predecessor Loan Trustee and the Company an instrument accepting such appointment and assuming the obligations of the Loan Trustee arising from and after the time of such appointment, and thereupon such successor Loan Trustee, without further act, shall become vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers and duties of the predecessor Loan Trustee hereunder in the trust hereunder applicable to it with like effect as if originally named the Loan Trustee herein; but nevertheless upon the written request of such successor Loan Trustee, such predecessor Loan Trustee shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Loan Trustee all the estates, properties, rights and powers of such predecessor Loan Trustee, and such predecessor Loan Trustee shall duly assign, transfer, deliver and pay over to such successor Loan Trustee all monies or other property and all other books and records, or true, correct and complete copies thereof, then held by such predecessor Loan Trustee hereunder. 56
61 (c) This Indenture shall at all times have a Loan Trustee, however appointed, that is a Citizen of the United States (without the use of a voting trust) and a bank or trust company having a combined capital and surplus of at least $75,000,000 (or a combined capital and surplus in excess of $5,000,000 and the obligations of which, whether now in existence or hereafter incurred, are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or any state or territory thereof or the District of Columbia and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $75,000,000) or a corporation with a net worth of at least $75,000,000, if there be such an institution willing, able and legally qualified to perform the duties of the Loan Trustee hereunder upon reasonable or customary terms. If such bank, trust company or corporation publishes reports of conditions at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of federal, state, territorial or District of Columbia supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.01(c) the combined capital and surplus of such bank, trust company or corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of conditions so published. In case at any time the Loan Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.01(c), the Loan Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.01(a). (d) Any corporation into which the Loan 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 Loan Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation to which substantially all the corporate trust business of the Loan Trustee may be transferred, shall, subject to the terms of Section 8.01(c), be a successor Loan Trustee under this Indenture without further act. Section 8.02. Appointment of Additional and Separate Trustees. (a) Whenever (i) the Loan Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable in order to conform to any law of any jurisdiction in which all or any part of the Collateral shall be situated or to make any claim or bring any suit with respect to or in connection with the Collateral, any Operative Document or any of the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents, (ii) the Loan Trustee shall be advised by counsel satisfactory to it that it is necessary or prudent in the interests of the Noteholders (and the Loan Trustee shall so advise the Company) or (iii) the Loan Trustee shall have been requested to do so by a Majority in Interest of Noteholders, then in any such case, the Loan Trustee and, upon the written request of the Loan Trustee, the Company, shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto and such other instruments as may from time to time be necessary or advisable either (1) to constitute one or more banks or trust companies or corporations meeting the requirements of Section 8.01(c) and approved by the Loan Trustee, either to act jointly with the Loan Trustee as additional trustee or trustees of all or any part of the Collateral or to act as separate trustee or trustees of all or any part of the Collateral, in each case with such rights, powers, duties and obligations consistent with this Indenture as may be provided in such supplemental indenture or other instruments as the Loan Trustee or a Majority in Interest of Noteholders may deem necessary or advisable, or (2) to clarify, add to or subtract from the rights, powers, duties and obligations theretofore granted any such additional or separate trustee, subject in each case to the remaining provisions of this Section 8.02. If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no additional 57
62 or supplemental trustee shall be appointed without the Company's consent. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Loan Trustee may act under the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.02(a) without the concurrence of the Company, and the Company hereby irrevocably appoints (which appointment is coupled with an interest) the Loan Trustee as its agent and attorney-in-fact to act for it under the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.02(a). The Loan Trustee may, in such capacity, execute, deliver and perform any such supplemental indenture, or any such instrument, as may be required for the appointment of any such additional or separate trustee or for the clarification of, addition to or subtraction from the rights, powers, duties or obligations theretofore granted to any such additional or separate trustee, subject in each case to the remaining provisions of this Section 8.02. In case any additional or separate trustee appointed under this Section 8.02(a) shall become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the assets, property, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of such additional or separate trustee shall revert to the Loan Trustee until a successor additional or separate trustee is appointed as provided in this Section 8.02(a). (b) No additional or separate trustee shall be entitled to exercise any of the rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred upon the Loan Trustee in respect of the custody, investment and payment of monies and all monies received by any such additional or separate trustee from or constituting part of the Collateral or otherwise payable under any Operative Documents to the Loan Trustee shall be promptly paid over by it to the Loan Trustee. All other rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon any additional or separate trustee shall be exercised or performed by the Loan Trustee and such additional or separate trustee jointly except to the extent that applicable law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed renders the Loan Trustee incompetent or unqualified to perform such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to all or part of the Collateral in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such additional or separate trustee. No additional or separate trustee shall take any discretionary action except on the instructions of the Loan Trustee or a Majority in Interest of Noteholders. No trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder, except that the Loan Trustee shall be liable for the consequences of its lack of reasonable care in selecting, and the Loan Trustee's own actions in acting with, any additional or separate trustee. Each additional or separate trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 8.02 shall be subject to, and shall have the benefit of Articles IV, V, VI, VIII, IX and X hereof insofar as they apply to the Loan Trustee. The powers of any additional or separate trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 8.02 shall not in any case exceed those of the Loan Trustee hereunder. (c) If at any time the Loan Trustee shall deem it no longer necessary or desirable or in the event that the Loan Trustee shall have been requested to do so in writing by a Majority in Interest of Noteholders, the Loan Trustee and, upon the written request of the Loan Trustee, the Company, shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto and all other instruments and agreements necessary or proper to remove any additional or separate trustee. The Loan Trustee may act on behalf of the Company under this Section 8.02(c) when and to the extent it could so act under Section 8.02(a) hereof. In any case, the Company may remove an additional or separate trustee in the manner set forth in Section 8.01. 58
63 ARTICLE IX AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS Section 9.01. Amendments to this Indenture without Consent of Holders. At any time after the date hereof, the Company and the Loan Trustee may enter into one or more agreements supplemental hereto without notice to or consent of any Noteholder for any of the following purposes: (i) to evidence the succession of another Person to the Company and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Company contained in any Operative Documents pursuant to Section 6.02(e) of the Participation Agreement; (ii) to cure any defect or inconsistency herein or in the Equipment Notes; (iii) to cure any ambiguity or correct any mistake; (iv) to evidence the succession of a new trustee hereunder pursuant hereto or the removal of the trustee hereunder or to provide for or facilitate the appointment of an additional or separate trustee pursuant to Section 8.02 hereof; (v) to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge any property to or with the Loan Trustee; (vi) to make any other provisions or amendments with respect to matters or questions arising hereunder or under the Equipment Notes, or to amend, modify or supplement any provision hereof or thereof, so long as such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders or the Liquidity Provider; (vii) to correct or amplify the description of any property at any time subject to the Lien of this Indenture, or better to assure, convey and confirm unto the Loan Trustee any property subject or required to be subject to the Lien of this Indenture or to subject to the Lien of this Indenture the Airframe or Engines or any Replacement Airframe or Replacement Engine; (viii) to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Noteholders, or to surrender any rights or power herein conferred upon the Company; (ix) to add to the rights of the Noteholders; (x) to include on the Equipment Notes any legend as may be required by law or as may otherwise be necessary or advisable; (xi) to comply with any applicable requirements of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, or any other requirements of applicable law or of any regulatory body and (xii) to provide for the issuance of Series D Equipment Notes and/or Pass Through Certificates issued by the Class D Pass Through Trust and to make changes relating thereto, provided that (A) the Company shall have obtained written confirmation from each Rating Agency that the issuance of the Series D Equipment Notes would not result in a reduction of the rating for any class of Pass Through Certificates below the then current rating for such class of Pass Through Certificates or a withdrawal or suspension of the rating of any class of Pass Through Certificates and (B) (1) if the Series D Equipment Notes are issued to a Class D Pass Through Trust, the Pass Through Trustee thereof shall become a party to the Intercreditor Agreement or (2) if Series D Equipment Notes are issued to any person other than a Class D Pass Through Trust, the Series D Equipment Notes will be subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement that allow the "Controlling Party" (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), during the continuance of an "Indenture Event of Default" (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) to direct the Loan Trustee in taking action under this Indenture. Section 9.02. Amendments to this Indenture with Consent of Holders. (a) With the written consent of a Majority in Interest of Noteholders, the Company may, and the Loan Trustee 59
64 shall, subject to Section 9.06, at any time and from time to time, enter into such supplemental agreements to add any provisions to or to change or eliminate any provisions of this Indenture or of any such supplemental agreements or to modify in any manner the rights and obligations of the Company, the Loan Trustee and of the Noteholders under this Indenture; provided, however, that without the consent of each Noteholder affected thereby, an amendment under this Section 9.02 may not: (1) reduce the principal amount of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, or interest on, any Equipment Note; (2) change the date on which any principal amount of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, or interest on any Equipment Note, is due or payable; (3) create any Lien with respect to the Collateral prior to or pari passu with the Lien thereon under this Indenture except such as are permitted by this Indenture, or deprive any Noteholder of the benefit of the Lien on the Collateral created by this Indenture; (4) reduce the percentage of the outstanding principal amount of the Equipment Notes the consent of whose holders is required for any such supplemental agreement, or the consent of whose holders is required for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or of certain defaults hereunder or their consequences provided for in this Indenture; or (5) make any change in Section 4.05 or this Section 9.02, except to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of each Noteholder affected thereby. (b) It is not necessary under this Section 9.02 for the Noteholders to consent to the particular form of any proposed supplemental agreement, but it is sufficient if they consent to the substance thereof. (c) Promptly after the execution by the Company and the Loan Trustee of any supplemental agreement pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.02, the Loan Trustee shall transmit by first-class mail a notice, setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental agreement, to all Noteholders, as the names and addresses of such Noteholders appear on the Equipment Note Register. Any failure of the Loan Trustee to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental agreement. Section 9.03. Amendments, Waivers, Etc. of the Participation Agreement. Without the consent of a Majority in Interest of Noteholders, the respective parties to the Participation Agreement may not modify, amend or supplement such agreement, or give any consent, waiver, 60
65 authorization or approval thereunder, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions thereof or of modifying in any manner the rights of the respective parties thereunder; provided, however, that, without the consent of the Loan Trustee or any Noteholder, the Participation Agreement may be modified, amended or supplemented in order (i) to cure any defect or inconsistency therein or to cure any ambiguity or correct any mistake, (ii) to amend, modify or supplement any provision thereof or make any other provision with respect to matters or questions arising thereunder or under this Indenture, provided that the making of any such other provision shall not materially adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders or (iii) to make any other change, or reflect any other matter, of the kind referred to in clauses (i) through (xi) of Section 9.01.
