the Closing Date, each Series A Equipment Note and, if issued, Series B Equipment Note shall be issued to the Subordination Agent on behalf of each of the Pass Through Trustees of the Pass Through Trusts then in existence for the applicable Pass Through Trust created under the Pass Through Trust Agreements referred to in Schedule II . If no Series B Equipment Notes are issued on the Closing Date, then, subject to compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 4(a)(v) of the Note Purchase Agreement, Section 2.02 of the Participation Agreement and Section 8.01(d) of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Company shall have the option to issue Series B Equipment Notes after the Closing Date. In addition, if all of the Series B Equipment Notes (whether issued on or after the Closing Date) shall have been redeemed pursuant to Section 2.11(b), if, simultaneously with such redemption, new Series B Equipment Notes, which may have terms different from those of the redeemed Series B Equipment Notes, are being issued, the Company shall, subject to compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 4(a)(v) of the Note Purchase Agreement, Section 2.02 of the Participation Agreement and Section 8.01(c) of the Intercreditor Agreement, issue new Series B Equipment Notes with the same Series B designation as, but with the terms that may differ from those of, the redeemed Series B Equipment Notes. Any Series B Equipment Notes issued after the Closing Date pursuant to any of the two immediately preceding sentences shall have such maturities, principal amounts and interest rate as specified in Schedule I hereto in respect of Series B Equipment Notes, as amended in connection with any such issuance. The Equipment Notes shall be issued in registered form only. The Equipment Notes shall be issued in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof, except that one Equipment Note of each Series may be in an amount that is not an integral multiple of $1,000. Without limitation of the foregoing, if any Series B Equipment Notes shall have been issued hereunder, new Series B Equipment Notes may be issued pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.11(b).

     Each Equipment Note shall bear interest at the Debt Rate specified for such Series calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days comprised of twelve 30-day months, payable in arrears on each Payment Date on the unpaid principal amount thereof from time to time outstanding from the most recent Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or, if no interest has been so paid or provided for, from the date of issuance of such Equipment Note) until such principal amount is paid in full, as further provided in the form of Equipment Note set forth in Section 2.01. The principal amount of each Series A Equipment Note and, if issued, Series B Equipment Note shall be payable in installments or in a single payment on the Payment Dates set forth in Schedule I to such Equipment Note, each such installment, if any, to be in an amount computed by multiplying the original principal amount of such Equipment Note by the corresponding percentage set forth in Schedule I hereto (as, in the case of any Series B Equipment Notes issued after the Closing Date, such Schedule I may be amended in connection with such issuance) applicable to such Series, 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final payment made under each Equipment Note shall be in an amount sufficient to discharge in full the unpaid principal amount and all accrued and unpaid interest on, and any other amounts due under, such Equipment Note. Each Equipment Note shall bear interest, payable on demand, at the Past Due Rate (and not at the Debt Rate) (calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days comprised of twelve 30-day months) on any principal amount and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) Make-Whole Amount, if any, interest and any other amounts payable thereunder not paid when due for any period during which the same shall be overdue, in each case for the period the same is overdue. 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.

     The Equipment Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Company by the manual or facsimile signature of one of its authorized officers. Equipment Notes bearing the signatures of individuals who were at the time of execution the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Equipment Notes or did not hold such offices at the respective dates of such Equipment Notes. No Equipment Note shall be secured by or entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purposes unless there appears on such Equipment Note a certificate of authentication in the form provided herein executed by the Loan Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers, and such certificate upon any Equipment Notes shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Equipment Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

     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 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, and payment of such amount by the Company to the Loan Trustee shall be deemed to satisfy the Company’s obligation to make such payment. The

Indenture and Security Agreement (2009-1 Aircraft EETC)
[Reg. No.]

13


 

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 noon (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 shall, unless instructed by the Company to use another method, 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, in which case the Loan Trustee shall make such required payment on the next succeeding Business Day. So long as any signatory to the Participation Agreement or nominee thereof shall be a registered Noteholder, all payments to it shall be made to the account of such Noteholder specified in Schedule I to the Participation Agreement, or otherwise in the manner provided in or pursuant to the Participation Agreement, unless it shall have specified some other account or manner of payment by notice to the Loan Trustee consistent with this Section 2.03.

     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

Indenture and Security Agreement (2009-1 Aircraft EETC)
[Reg. No.]

14


 

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 (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 ( i ) any overdue principal amount, and ( ii ) 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, with respect to such Equipment Note;

      third , to the payment of the principal amount of such Equipment Note (or portion thereof) then due thereunder, if any; and

      fourth , the balance, if any, remaining thereafter to the payment of installments of the principal amount of such Equipment Note (or portion thereof) remaining unpaid in the inverse order of their maturity.

     Section 2.06. Termination of Interest in Collateral . No Noteholder, Indenture Indemnitee or Related Indenture Indemnitee shall, as such, have any further interest in, or other right with respect to, the Collateral when and if ( i ) the principal amount of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest (including, to the extent permitted by law, post-petition interest and interest on any overdue amounts) on and all other amounts due under all Equipment Notes held by such Noteholder and all other sums then due and payable to

Indenture and Security Agreement (2009-1 Aircraft EETC)
[Reg. No.]

15


 

such Noteholder or Indenture Indemnitee, as the case may be, hereunder (including, without limitation, under Section 2.14) and under the Participation Agreement by the Company and ( ii ) all Related Secured Obligations ((i) and (ii), collectively, the “ Secured Obligations ”) 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 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 an equal 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 an equal 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 (if so required by the Company or the Loan Trustee) 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 Company and the Loan Trustee shall require evidence satisfactory to it as to the compliance of any such transfer with the Securities Act and the securities laws of any applicable state 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 the 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 Indenture, the Related Indentures, the Participation Agreement, the other Operative Documents and the Pass Through Documents applicable to the Noteholders or, in the case of each Related Indenture, Related Noteholders, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any such transferee of an Equipment Note, by its acceptance of an Equipment Note, agrees to the applicable provisions of Section 6.01, Section 7.10 and Section 7.11 of the Participation Agreement, 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 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

     Section 4.02. Remedies . (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and so long as the same shall continue unremedied, then and in every such case the Loan Trustee may, and upon the written instructions of a Majority in Interest of Noteholders, the Loan Trustee shall, do one or more of the following to the extent permitted by, and subject to compliance with the requirements of, applicable law then in effect ( provided that during any period the Airframe or any Engine is subject to the CRAF Program and is in possession of or being operated under the direction of the United States government or an agency or instrumentality of the United States, the Loan Trustee shall not, on account of any Event of Default, be entitled to exercise or pursue any of the powers, rights or remedies described in this Section 4.02 in such manner as to limit the Company’s control under this Indenture (or any Permitted Lessee’s control under any Lease) of the Airframe, any Engines installed thereon or any such Engine, unless at least 60 days’ (or such lesser period as may then be applicable under the CRAF Program of the United States government) prior written notice of default hereunder shall have been given by the Loan Trustee by registered or certified mail to the Company (and any such Permitted Lessee) with a copy addressed to the Contracting Office Representative or other appropriate person for the Air Mobility Command of the United States Air Force under any contract with the Company or such Permitted Lessee relating to the Aircraft):

     (ii) ( A ) cause the Company, upon the written demand of the Loan Trustee, at the Company’s expense, to deliver promptly, and the Company shall deliver promptly, all or such part of the Airframe or any Engine as the Loan Trustee may so demand to the Loan Trustee or its order, or, if the Company shall have failed to so deliver the Airframe or any Engine after such demand, the Loan Trustee, at its option, may enter upon the premises where all or any part of the Airframe or any Engine are located and take immediate possession of and remove the same together with any engine which is not an Engine but which is installed on the Airframe, subject to all of the rights of the owner, lessor, lienor or secured party of such engine; provided that the Airframe with an engine (which is not an Engine) installed thereon may be flown or returned only to a location within the continental United States, and such engine shall be held at the expense of the Company for the account of any such owner, lessor, lienor, secured party or, if such engine is owned by the Company, may at the option of the Company with the consent of the Loan Trustee (which will not be unreasonably withheld) or at the option of the Loan Trustee with the consent of the Company (which will not be unreasonably withheld), be exchanged with the Company for an Engine in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.05(b); ( B ) sell all or any part of the Airframe and any Engine at public or private sale, whether or not the Loan Trustee shall at the time have possession thereof, as the Loan Trustee may determine, or otherwise dispose of, hold, use, operate, lease to others or keep idle all or any part of the Airframe or such Engine as the Loan Trustee, in its sole discretion, determines, all free and clear of any rights or claims of the Company, and the proceeds of such sale or disposition shall be 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); provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in any other Operative Document, ( i ) as permitted by Article 15 of the Cape Town Convention, the provisions of Chapter III of the Cape Town Convention are hereby excluded and made inapplicable to this Indenture and the other Operative Documents, except for those provisions of such Chapter III that cannot be derogated from; and ( ii ) as permitted by Article IV(3) of the Aircraft Protocol, the provisions of Chapter II of the Aircraft Protocol are hereby excluded and made inapplicable to this Indenture and the other Operative Documents, except for ( x ) Article XVI of the Aircraft Protocol and ( y ) those provisions of such Chapter II that cannot be derogated from. In furtherance of the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that the exercise of remedies hereunder and the other Operative Documents is subject to other

applicable law, including without limitation, the Uniform Commercial Code (as in effect in the State of New York) and the Bankruptcy Code, and that nothing herein derogates from the rights of the Company or the Loan Trustee under or pursuant to such other applicable law, including without limitation, the Uniform Commercial Code (as in effect in the State of New York) or the Bankruptcy Code.

     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 deems necessary to cause the Collateral to be in such condition as required by the provisions of this Indenture. In each such case, the Loan Trustee may maintain, use, operate, store, insure, lease, control, manage or dispose of the Collateral and may exercise all rights and powers of the Company relating to the Collateral as the Loan Trustee reasonably deems best, including the right to enter into any and all such agreements with respect to the maintenance, use, operation, storage, insurance, leasing, control, management or disposition of the Collateral or any part thereof as the Loan Trustee may reasonably determine; and the Loan Trustee shall be entitled to collect and receive directly all tolls, rents, revenues, issues, income, products and profits of the Collateral and every part thereof, without prejudice, however, to the rights of the Loan Trustee under any provision of this Indenture to collect and receive all cash held by, or required to be deposited with, the Loan Trustee hereunder. Such tolls, rents, revenues, issues, income, products and profits shall be applied to pay the expenses of the use, operation, storage, insurance, leasing, control, management or disposition of the Collateral, and of all maintenance, repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and improvements, and to make all payments that the Loan Trustee is required or elects to make, if any, for Taxes, insurance or other proper charges assessed against or otherwise imposed upon the Collateral or any part thereof, and all other payments which the Loan Trustee is required or expressly authorized to make under any provision of this Indenture, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of the Loan Trustee, and shall otherwise be applied in accordance with Article III.

     If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Equipment Notes shall either have been accelerated pursuant to this Section 4.02 or have become due at maturity and the Loan Trustee shall be entitled to exercise rights hereunder, at the request of the Loan Trustee, the Company shall promptly execute and deliver to the Loan Trustee such instruments of title and other documents as the Loan Trustee reasonably deems necessary or advisable to enable the Loan Trustee or an agent or representative designated by the Loan Trustee, at such time or times and place or places as the Loan Trustee may specify, to obtain possession of all or any part of the Collateral to which the Loan Trustee shall at the time be entitled hereunder. If the Company shall for any reason fail to execute and deliver such instruments and documents after such request by the Loan

Trustee, the Loan Trustee may seek a judgment conferring on the Loan Trustee the right to immediate possession and requiring the Company to execute and deliver such instruments and documents to the Loan Trustee, to the entry of which judgment the Company hereby specifically consents to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so. All actual and reasonable expenses of obtaining such judgment or of pursuing, searching for and taking such property shall, until paid, be secured by the Lien of this Indenture.

     (b) The Loan Trustee shall give the Company at least 30 days’ prior written notice of any public sale or of the date on or after which any private sale will be held, which notice the Company hereby agrees to the extent permitted by applicable law is reasonable notice. Any Noteholder or Noteholders shall be entitled to bid for and become the purchaser of any Collateral 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 party 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, transfer or delivery, by executing and delivering to the Loan Trustee or such purchaser all bills of sale, assignments, releases and other proper instruments to effect such ratification and confirmation as may reasonably 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, or all Equipment Notes shall have become due and payable as provided in the proviso to Section 4.02(a)(i),

and, in either case, 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, whether made by the Loan Trustee on its own accord or as directed or deemed 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 either cured or waived; provided that no such rescission or annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

     (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.

     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 this Indenture and the other Operative Documents, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon; provided 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;

     (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.

     Section 4.07. Appointment of a Receiver . To the extent permitted by applicable law, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and the Equipment Notes either shall have been accelerated pursuant to Section 4.02 or have become due at maturity, the Loan Trustee shall, as a matter of right, be entitled to the appointment of a receiver (who may be the Loan Trustee or any successor or nominee thereof) for all or any part of the Collateral, whether such receivership be incidental to a proposed sale of the Collateral or the taking of possession thereof or otherwise, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company hereby consents to the appointment of such a receiver and will not oppose any such appointment. Any receiver appointed for all or any part of the Collateral shall be entitled to exercise all the rights and powers of the Loan Trustee with respect to the Collateral.

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, each Liquidity Provider and each Noteholder by telegram, cable, facsimile or telephone (to be promptly confirmed in writing). Subject to the terms of Section 4.02, Section 4.05, Section 5.02 and Section 5.03, the Loan Trustee shall take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such default or 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 provided within 20 Business Days after giving notice of such default or 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 with respect to such default or Event of Default as it shall reasonably determine to be advisable and in the best interests of the Noteholders, but shall be under no duty to take or refrain from taking any action. It 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. 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 Office of the Loan Trustee; provided 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 permitted hereunder, in each case, as is 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 are 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 Section 5.01 (other than the first sentence thereof) or Section 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 actually 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 Section 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.

     Section 5.04. No Duties Except as Specified in Indenture or Instructions .

     Section 5.06. Investment of Amounts Held by the Loan Trustee . Any monies (including for the purpose of this Section 5.06 any amounts held by the Loan Trustee pursuant to Section 3.02, Section 3.03 or Section 3.07 or pursuant to any provision of any other Operative Document providing for amounts to be held by the Loan Trustee which are not distributed pursuant to the other provisions of Article III, or any cash received by the Loan Trustee pursuant to Section 7.05(c) or Section 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 such 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 and Section 3.07, 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 at least $100,000,000, 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, as provided in Section 3.07, 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
