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 (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 it is 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; and 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. -11- 17 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") 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. 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 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 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 -12- 18 whose name any Equipment Note has 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 any transferee 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 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, shall send a copy of such canceled Equipment Notes marked "canceled" to the Company, 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 has 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. -13- 19 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. 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. (c) On or before the redemption date, the Company (or any person on behalf of the Company) shall, to the extent an amount equal to the redemption price for the Equipment Notes to be redeemed on the redemption date shall not then be held in the Collateral, deposit or cause to be deposited with the Loan Trustee by 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the redemption date in immediately available funds the redemption price of the Equipment Notes to be redeemed. (d) Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid (and not revoked as permitted by Section 2.11), the Equipment Notes to be redeemed shall, on the redemption date, become due and payable at the Corporate Trust Office of the Loan Trustee, and from and after such redemption date (unless there is a default in the deposit of the redemption price pursuant to Section 2.12(c)) any such Equipment Notes then outstanding shall cease to bear interest. 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.

Section 4.02 Remedies. (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is 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, however, 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 or such Engine, unless at least 60 days' (or such lesser period as may then be applicable under the Military Airlift Command Program of the United States government) prior written notice of default hereunder has 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 -23- 29 appropriate person for the Military Airlift Command of the United States Air Force under any contract with the Company (or such Permitted Lessee) relating to the Aircraft): (i) declare by written notice to the Company all the Equipment Notes to be due and payable, whereupon the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Equipment Notes then outstanding, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon and other amounts due thereunder (but without Make-Whole Amount), shall immediately become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or notice, all of which are hereby waived; provided that if an Event of Default referred to in Subsections 4.01(f), (g), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing, then and in every such case the unpaid principal amount then outstanding, together with accrued but unpaid interest and all other amounts due thereunder (but without Make-Whole Amount) shall immediately and without further act become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice, all of which are hereby waived; and, following such declaration or deemed declaration: (ii) (A) cause the Company, upon the demand by notice 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 so demands to the Loan Trustee or its order, or, if the Company has 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 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 at the time has 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). 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, lease, control or manage the Collateral and to exercise all rights and powers of the Company relating to the Collateral as the Loan Trustee reasonably deems best, including the -24- 30 right to enter into any and all such agreements with respect to the maintenance, use, operation, storage, 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. Such tolls, rents, revenues, issues, income, products and profits shall be applied to pay the expenses of the use, operation, storage, leasing, control, management or disposition of the 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 has occurred and is continuing and the Equipment Notes either have been accelerated pursuant to this Section 4.02 or have become due at maturity and the Loan Trustee is 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 specifies, to obtain possession of all or any part of the Collateral to which the Loan Trustee at the time is entitled hereunder. If the Company for any reason fails to execute and deliver such instruments and documents after such request by the Loan Trustee, the Loan Trustee may obtain 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. (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 parties to any suit or proceeding relating to the foreclosure of any Collateral. The Company may also 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, while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company irrevocably appoints 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 -25- 31 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 does 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, whether made by the Loan Trustee on its own accord or as directed, 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. (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 has instituted any proceedings to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Indenture by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or 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 -26- 32 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; (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. -27- 33 ARTICLE V DUTIES OF THE LOAN TRUSTEE Section 5.01 Notice of Event of Default. If the Loan Trustee has 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; 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 is instructed in writing by a Majority in Interest of Noteholders. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.03, if the Loan Trustee does not receive instructions as above 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 with respect to such Event of Default as it reasonably determines to be advisable 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 Division of the Loan Trustee; provided, however, that the Loan Trustee is 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 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 -28- 34 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. 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 5.06 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 $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 such Permitted Investments shall be held by the Loan Trustee in trust as part of the Collateral until so -29- 35 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 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 on the next Business Day after such 90th day.

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.

The Company 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. -35- 41 The Loan Trustee acknowledges that any "wet lease" or other similar arrangement under which the Company maintains operational control of the Aircraft does 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 (or, if a Lease is then in effect, any Permitted Lessee) 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; 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 unforeseen circumstances and the Company is using its good faith efforts to remove the Aircraft from such area as promptly as practicable. (c) Maintenance. The Company shall maintain, service, repair and overhaul the Aircraft (or cause the same to be done) so as to keep the Aircraft in good operating condition and in such condition as may be necessary to enable the airworthiness certification of the Aircraft to be maintained in good standing at all times (other than during temporary periods of storage, during maintenance or modification permitted hereunder, or during periods of grounding by applicable governmental authorities) under the Transportation Code, during such periods in which the Aircraft is registered under the laws of the United States, or, if the Aircraft is registered under the laws of any other jurisdiction, the applicable laws of such jurisdiction. In any case, the Aircraft will be maintained in accordance with the maintenance standards required by the FAA (while operated under an FAA-approved maintenance program) or, while operated under the maintenance program of another jurisdiction, standards substantially equivalent to those required by 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 -36- 42 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 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 exceptions relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and exceptions relating to general principles of equity, such counsel shall opine that 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 -37- 43 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 (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.

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 relating to the maintenance of the Aircraft required to be maintained by the FAA or the government of another jurisdiction in which the Aircraft is then registered; 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 during the Company's normal business hours and 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 -38- 44 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 consecutive twelve month period.

Section 7.04 Replacement and Pooling of Parts; Alterations, Modifications and Additions; Substitution of Engines. (a) Replacement of Parts. The Company shall promptly replace or cause to be replaced 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 (or any Permitted Lessee) 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 (or any Permitted Lessee), 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 be 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 -39- 45 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 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 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 (or cause to be made) 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 (or, if a Lease is then in effect, any Permitted Lessee) 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 (or any Permitted Lessee), 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 (or any Permitted Lessee) 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 are 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 (or any Permitted Lessee) 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 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 -40- 46 such time had such removal not occurred. Upon the removal by the Company (or any Permitted Lessee) 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 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 as soon as practicable (and, in any event, within 30 days after an Event of Loss has occurred) notify the Loan Trustee 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 has not 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) substitute, on or before the Loss Payment Date (as defined below), 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) redeem, on or before the Loss Payment Date, 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. 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 -41- 47 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 internal counsel of the Company) 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 (without regard to hours or cycles) 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 internal counsel of the Company) 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 Section 1110 opinion of the Company's special 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 FAA counsel selected by the Company if at the time of the Event of Loss the Aircraft was registered under the laws of the United States (or, if at the time of the Event of Loss the Aircraft was registered under the laws of another jurisdiction, counsel qualified to opine on matters of registration in such jurisdiction selected by the Company, which counsel 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 third paragraph of this Section 7.05(a), the Loan Trustee shall -42- 48 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. If, 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 internal counsel to the Company) addressed to the Loan 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 (without regard to hours or cycles) 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 FAA counsel selected by the Company if at the time of the Event of Loss the Aircraft was registered under the laws of the United States (or, if at the time of the Event of Loss the Aircraft was registered under the laws of another jurisdiction, counsel qualified to opine on matters of registration in such jurisdiction selected by the Company, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee) -43- 49 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 the first sentence 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 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 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 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 has fully performed its obligations under 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 (it being acknowledged that the use of the Airframe or any Engine pursuant to the CRAF Program does not constitute such a requisition) 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 -44- 50 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 for a period in excess of sixty (60) days, 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 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 covering the same risks as from time to time applicable to aircraft operated by the Company (or, if a Lease is then in effect, by the Permitted Lessee) of the same type as the Aircraft, 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 -45- 51 for 30 days (seven days, or such other period as is then generally 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 being flown, the Company may carry or cause to be carried as to such non-flown 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 (or, if a Lease is then in effect, by the Permitted Lessee) of the same type as such non-flown Airframe or Engine and that are on the ground and not being flown 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 operated by the Company (or, if a Lease is then in effect, by the Permitted Lessee) of the same type as such non-flown Airframe or Engine and that are on the ground and not being flown. (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, if a Lease is then in effect, by the Permitted Lessee) with respect to other similar aircraft operated by the Company or such Permitted Lessee, as the case may be, on the same routes) that is of the type as from time to time applicable to the aircraft operated by the Company (or, if a Lease is then in effect, by the Permitted Lessee) of the same type as the Aircraft; provided that (A) such insurance (including the permitted self-insurance) -46- 52 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 sum of such three amounts being 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) 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 by the Company of any warranty, declaration or condition contained in such policies, (C) provide that if such insurance is canceled for any reason whatsoever, or if any change is made in the insurance that materially reduces the coverage (not including the amount) 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 -47- 53 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 being flown, the Company may carry or cause to be carried as to such non-flown 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 operated by the Company (or, if a Lease is then in effect, by the Permitted Lessee) of the same type as such non-flown Airframe or Engine and that are on the ground and not being flown; provided that, subject to self-insurance to the extent permitted by Subsection 7.06(c), the Company shall maintain or cause to be maintained insurance against risk of loss or damage to such non-flown 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 being flown. (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 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 certifies that the standard among 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; -48- 54 (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 do 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, 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 its obligations under 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 first paragraph of this Section 7.06(d) 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 notify the Loan Trustee and the Liquidity Provider 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 notify the Loan Trustee and the Liquidity Provider as promptly as practicable after such firm acquires knowledge that an interruption of any insurance -49- 55 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 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 or 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 has not 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 is 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 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 -50- 56 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. (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 $100,000,000 (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 $100,000,000) or a corporation with a net worth of at least $100,000,000, if there be such an institution willing, able and legally qualified to perform the duties of the Loan Trustee 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 ceases 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).

Section 8.02 Appointment of Additional and Separate Trustees. (a) Whenever (i) the Loan Trustee deems it necessary or desirable in order to conform to any law of any jurisdiction in which all or any part of the Collateral is 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 has 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 from time to time are 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 is provided in such supplemental indenture or other instruments as the Loan Trustee or a Majority in Interest of Noteholders deems 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 or supplemental trustee shall be appointed without the Company's -51- 57 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) becomes incapable of acting, resigns or is 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. (c) If at any time the Loan Trustee deems it no longer necessary or desirable or in the event that the Loan Trustee has 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. -52- 58 ARTICLE IX AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS Section 9.01 Amendments to this Indenture without Consent of Holders.
