(2009-1 Aircraft EETC)
[Reg. No.]

It is expressly
agreed that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
Company shall remain liable under the Purchase Agreement to perform
all of its obligations thereunder, and, except to the extent
expressly provided in any Operative Document, none of any
Noteholder, the Loan Trustee, any other Indenture Indemnitee or any
Related Indenture Indemnitee shall be required or obligated in any
manner to perform or fulfill any obligations of the Company under
or pursuant to any Operative Document, or to have any obligation or
liability under the Purchase Agreement by reason of or arising out
of the assignment hereunder, or to make any inquiry as to the
nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it, or present or
file any claim or take any action to collect or enforce the payment
of any amount that may have been assigned to it or to which it may
be entitled at any time or times.
Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary (but without in any way releasing
the Company from any of its duties or obligations under the
Purchase Agreement), the Noteholders, the Loan Trustee, the other
Indenture Indemnitees and the Related Indenture Indemnitees confirm
for the benefit of the Manufacturer that in exercising any rights
under the Warranty Rights, or in making any claim with respect to
the Aircraft or other goods and services delivered or to be
delivered pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the terms and
conditions of the Purchase Agreement relating to the Warranty
Rights, including, without limitation, the warranty disclaimer
provisions for the benefit of the Manufacturer, shall apply to and
be binding upon the Noteholders, the Loan Trustee, the other
Indenture Indemnitees and the Related Indenture Indemnitees to the
same extent as the Company. The Company hereby directs the
Manufacturer, so long as an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, to pay all amounts, if any, payable to the
Company pursuant to the Warranty Rights directly to the Loan
Trustee to be held and applied as provided herein. Nothing
contained herein shall subject the Manufacturer to any liability to
which it would not otherwise be subject under the Purchase
Agreement or modify in any respect the contract rights of the
Manufacturer thereunder except as provided in the
Manufacturer’s Consent.
Subject to the
terms and conditions hereof, the Company does hereby irrevocably
constitute the Loan Trustee the true and lawful attorney of the
Company (which appointment is coupled with an interest) with full
power (in the name of the Company or otherwise) to ask for,
require, demand and receive any and all monies and claims for
monies (in each case including insurance and requisition proceeds)
due and to become due to the Company under or arising out of the
Purchase Agreement (to the extent assigned hereby), and all other
property which now or hereafter constitutes part of the Collateral,
to endorse any checks or other instruments or orders in connection
therewith and to file any claims or to take any action or to
institute any proceedings which the Loan Trustee may deem to be
necessary or advisable in the premises; provided that the
Loan Trustee shall not exercise any such rights except during the
continuance of an Event of
Indenture and Security Agreement

Default. The
Company agrees that, promptly upon receipt thereof, to the extent
required by the Operative Documents, it will transfer to the Loan
Trustee any and all monies from time to time received by the
Company constituting part of the Collateral, for distribution by
the Loan Trustee pursuant to this Indenture.
The Company does
hereby warrant and represent that it has not sold, assigned or
pledged, and hereby covenants and agrees that it will not sell,
assign or pledge, so long as this Indenture shall remain in effect
and the Lien hereof shall not have been released pursuant to the
provisions hereof, any of its estate, right, title or interest
hereby assigned, to any Person other than the Loan Trustee, except
as otherwise provided in or permitted by any Operative
Document.
The Company agrees
that at any time and from time to time, upon the written request of
the Loan Trustee, the Company shall promptly and duly execute and
deliver or cause to be duly executed and delivered any and all such
further instruments and documents as the Loan Trustee may
reasonably deem necessary to perfect, preserve or protect the
mortgage, security interests and assignments created or intended to
be created hereby or to obtain for the Loan Trustee the full
benefit of the assignment hereunder and of the rights and powers
herein granted; provided that any instrument or other
document so executed by the Company will not expand any obligations
or limit any rights of the Company in respect of the transactions
contemplated by the Operative Documents.

overdue interest and any other overdue amounts hereunder) to the

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

(2009-1 Aircraft EETC)
[Reg. No.]

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
Indenture and Security Agreement
(2009-1 Aircraft EETC)
[Reg. No.]
16
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

Section 3.07.
Securities Account . In furtherance of the provisions of
Section 3.03, U.S. Bank agrees to act as an Eligible
Institution under this Indenture in accordance with the provisions
of this Indenture (in such capacity, the “ Securities
Intermediary ”). Except in its capacity as Loan Trustee,
U.S. Bank waives any claim or lien against any Eligible Account it
may have, by operation of law or otherwise, for any amount owed to
it by the Company. The Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, (
i ) any amounts to be held by the Loan Trustee pursuant to
paragraph (vii) of clause “third” of
Section 3.03 and any investment earnings thereon or other
Permitted Investments in which such amounts are invested will be
credited to an Eligible Account (the “ Securities
Account ”) for which it is a “securities
intermediary” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(14) of the
NY UCC) and the Loan Trustee is the “entitlement
holder” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(7) of the NY
UCC) of the “security entitlement” (as defined in
Section 8-102(a)(17) of the NY UCC) with respect to each
“financial asset” (as defined in
Section 8-102(a)(9) of the NY UCC) credited to such Eligible

all other property acquired with cash credited to the Securities
Account will be credited to the Securities Account, ( iii )
all items of property (whether cash, investment property, Permitted
Investments, other investments, securities, instruments or other
property) credited to the Securities Account will be treated as a
“financial asset” under Article 8 of the NY UCC, (
iv ) its “securities intermediary’s
jurisdiction” (as defined in Section 8-110(e) of the NY
UCC) with respect to the Securities Account is the State of New
York, and ( v ) all securities, instruments and other
property in order or registered form and credited to the Securities
Account shall be payable to or to the order of, or registered in

registered in the name of the Company, payable to or to the order
of the Company or specially indorsed to the Company except to the
extent the foregoing have been specially indorsed by the Company to
the Securities Intermediary or in blank. The Loan Trustee agrees
that it will hold (and will indicate clearly in its books and
records that it holds) its “security entitlements” to
the “financial assets” credited to the Securities
Account in trust for the benefit of the Noteholders, each Indenture
Indemnitee and each Related Indenture Indemnitee as set forth in
this Indenture. The Company acknowledges that, by reason of the
Loan Trustee being the “entitlement holder” in respect
of the Securities Account as provided above, the Loan Trustee shall
have the sole right and discretion, subject only to the terms of
this Indenture, to give all “entitlement orders” (as
defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the NY UCC) with respect to
the Securities Account and any and all financial assets and other
property credited thereto to the exclusion of the Company. If any

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;

(2009-1 Aircraft EETC)
[Reg. No.]
36
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
Indenture and Security Agreement
(2009-1 Aircraft EETC)
[Reg. No.]
37
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),
Indenture and Security Agreement
(2009-1 Aircraft EETC)
[Reg. No.]
38
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

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

which, under Article IX, cannot be modified or amended without
the consent of each such affected Noteholder.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.
