 TRUST
ACCOUNTS; CONTROLLING PARTY 
 Section 2.01 Agreement to Terms of Subordination; Payments from Monies Received Only.
(a) Each Trustee hereby (i) acknowledges and agrees to the terms of subordination and distribution set forth in this Agreement in respect of each Class of Certificates and (ii) agrees to enforce such provisions and cause all payments
in respect of the Equipment Notes held by the Subordination Agent and the Liquidity Facilities to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each Trustee hereby agrees to cause the Equipment Notes purchased by the
related Trust to be registered in the name of the Subordination Agent or its nominee, as agent and trustee for such Trustee, to be held in trust by the Subordination Agent solely for the purpose of facilitating the enforcement of the subordination
and other provisions of this Agreement. 
 (b) Except as otherwise expressly provided in the next succeeding sentence of this
Section 2.01(b), all payments to be made by the Subordination Agent hereunder shall be made only from amounts received by it that constitute Scheduled Payments, Special Payments and other payments under the Operative Agreements, including
payments under Section 4.02 of the Participation Agreements and Section 2.14 of the Indentures, and only to the extent that the Subordination Agent shall have received sufficient income or proceeds therefrom to enable it to make such
payments in accordance with the terms hereof. Each Trustee and the Subordination Agent hereby agrees, and each Certificateholder, by its acceptance of a Certificate, and each Liquidity Provider, by entering into the Liquidity Facility to which it is
a party, has agreed to look solely to such amounts to the extent available for distribution to it as provided in this Agreement or the applicable Trust Agreement, as the case may be, and that none of the Trustees, the Loan Trustees or the
Subordination Agent is personally liable to any of them for any amounts payable or any liability arising under this Agreement, any Trust Agreement, any Liquidity Facility or such Certificate, except (in the case of the Subordination Agent) as
expressly provided herein or (in the case of the Trustees) as expressly provided herein and in each Trust Agreement or (in the case of the Loan Trustees) as expressly provided in any Operative Agreement. 

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement and in the other Operative Agreements, the Certificates do not represent
indebtedness of the related Trust, and references in this Agreement and the Operative Agreements to accrued interest or principal amounts payable on the Certificates of any Class are included only for computational purposes. For purposes of such

Interest Rate for such Class of Certificates from the later of (1) the date of the issuance thereof and (2) the most recent but preceding Distribution Date to which such interest was distributed to, but excluding, the applicable date of
determination, such interest to be considered payable in arrears and to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

 Section 2.02 Trust Accounts. (a) Upon the execution of this Agreement, the
Subordination Agent shall establish and maintain in its name (i) the Collection Account as an Eligible Deposit Account, bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held in trust for the benefit of the Trustees,
the Certificateholders and the Liquidity Providers, and (ii) as a sub-account in the Collection Account, the Special Payments Account as an Eligible Deposit Account, bearing a designation clearly
indicating that the funds deposited therein are held in trust for the benefit of the Trustees, the Certificateholders and the Liquidity Providers. The Subordination Agent shall establish and maintain the Cash Collateral Accounts pursuant to and
under the circumstances set forth in Section 3.05(f). Upon such establishment and maintenance under Section 3.05(f), the Cash Collateral Accounts shall, together with the Collection Account, constitute the “Trust Accounts”
hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, all monies credited to the Trust Accounts shall be, and shall remain, the property of the relevant Trust(s). 

(b) Funds on deposit in the Trust Accounts shall be invested and reinvested by the Subordination Agent in Eligible Investments selected by
Delta or its designated representative if such investments are reasonably available and have maturities no later than the earlier of (i) 90 days following the date of such investment and (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the
Regular Distribution Date or the date of the related distribution pursuant to Section 2.04, as the case may be, next following the date of such investment; provided, however, that, following the making of a Non-Extension Drawing
under any Liquidity Facility, the Subordination Agent shall invest and reinvest the amounts in the applicable Cash Collateral Account in Eligible Investments pursuant to the written instructions of the Liquidity Provider funding such Drawing, and
provided further, however, that upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Triggering Event, the Subordination Agent shall invest and reinvest the amounts on deposit in the Trust Accounts (other than amounts in the Cash
Collateral Accounts as a result of a Non-Extension Drawing, which shall be governed by the foregoing proviso) in Eligible Investments in accordance with the written instructions of the Controlling Party. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this
Agreement (including, without limitation, with respect to Investment Earnings on amounts on deposit in the Cash Collateral Accounts, Section 3.05(f)), any Investment Earnings shall be deposited in the Collection Account when received by the
Subordination Agent and shall be applied by the Subordination Agent in the same manner as the other amounts on deposit in the Collection Account are to be applied. The Subordination Agent’s reasonable fees and expenses actually incurred in
making such investments and any losses incurred in such investments shall be charged against the principal amount invested. The Subordination Agent shall not be liable for any loss resulting from any investment, reinvestment or liquidation required
to be made under this Agreement other than by reason of its willful misconduct or negligence. Eligible Investments and any other investment required to be made hereunder shall be held to their maturities except that any such investment may be sold
(without regard to its maturity) by the Subordination Agent without instructions whenever such sale is necessary to make a distribution required under this Agreement. Uninvested funds held hereunder shall not earn or accrue interest. 

(c) The Subordination Agent shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Trust Accounts and in
all proceeds thereof (including all income thereon, except as otherwise expressly provided herein with respect to Investment Earnings). The Trust Accounts shall be held in trust by the Subordination Agent under the sole dominion and control of the
Subordination Agent for the benefit of the applicable Trustee, the applicable Certificateholders and the applicable Liquidity Provider, as the case may be. If, at any time, any of the Trust Accounts ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the
Subordination Agent shall within 10 Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed 30 calendar days, to which a Rating Agency may consent) establish a new Collection Account, Special Payments Account or Cash Collateral Account, as the case may
be, as an Eligible Deposit Account and shall transfer any cash and/or any investments to such new Collection Account, Special Payments Account or Cash Collateral Account, as the case may be. So long as the Subordination Agent is an Eligible
Institution, the Trust Accounts shall be maintained with it as Eligible Deposit Accounts.

promptly calculate the amount of the proceeds of any redemption, purchase or prepayment of any Equipment Note or the amount of any Overdue Scheduled Payment or the proceeds of Equipment Notes or Collateral, as the case may be, comprising such

subordination provisions of this Agreement, the Subordination Agent shall not have sufficient funds for the payment of any amounts due and owing in respect of accrued interest on the Class AA Certificates, the Class A Certificates or the Class
B Certificates (at the Stated Interest Rate for such Class of Certificates), then, prior to 12:30 p.m. (New York City time) on such Distribution Date, (i) the Subordination Agent shall request a drawing (each such drawing, an “Interest
Drawing”) under the Liquidity Facility with respect to such Class of Certificates in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) an amount sufficient to pay the amount of such accrued interest shortfall (at the applicable Stated Interest Rate
for such Class of Certificates) and (y) the Available Amount under such Liquidity Facility, and (ii) the Subordination Agent shall upon receipt of such amount pay such amount to the Trustee with respect to each such Class of Certificates
in payment of such accrued interest shortfall. 
 (b) Application of Interest Drawings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, (i) all payments received by the Subordination Agent in respect of an Interest Drawing under the Class AA Liquidity Facility and all amounts withdrawn by the Subordination Agent from the Class AA Cash Collateral

(c) Downgrade Drawings. (i) Each Liquidity Provider will promptly, but in any event within 10 days of the occurrence of a
Downgrade Event with respect to it (the date of such occurrence, the “Downgrade Date”), deliver notice to the Subordination Agent and Delta of the occurrence of such Downgrade Event and the Downgrade Date therefor. After the
occurrence of a Downgrade Event with respect to any Liquidity Provider, each Liquidity Facility provided by such Liquidity Provider shall become a “Downgraded Facility” on the 35th day after the related Downgrade Date, unless, not
later than such 35th day (or, if earlier, the expiration date of such Downgraded Facility), the Rating Agency whose downgrading of such Liquidity Provider resulted in such Downgrade Event shall have provided a written confirmation to the effect that
the occurrence of such Downgrade Event will not result in the downgrading, withdrawal or suspension of the ratings then issued by such Rating Agency 

  
 Intercreditor Agreement
(2015-1) 
 (2015-1 EETC) 
  

29 







 
of the related Class of Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time after the occurrence of such Downgrade Event, such Liquidity Provider notifies the Subordination Agent in
writing that no such confirmation will be provided by such Rating Agency, each Liquidity Facility provided by such Liquidity Provider shall become a Downgraded Facility as of the date of such notice to the Subordination Agent. 

(ii) If at any time any Liquidity Facility becomes a Downgraded Facility, not later than the 35th day after the related Downgrade Date
(or, if earlier, the expiration date of such Downgraded Facility), the Liquidity Provider under such Downgraded Facility (at its own expense, except as provided in the applicable Fee Letter) or Delta (at its own expense, except as provided in the
applicable Fee Letter) may arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Provider to issue and deliver a Replacement Liquidity Facility to the Subordination Agent in accordance with Section 3.05(e). 

(iii) If a Downgraded Facility has not been replaced by a Replacement Liquidity Facility in accordance with Section 3.05(c)(ii), the
Subordination Agent shall, on the 35th day referred to in Section 3.05(c)(ii) (or if such 35th day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day) (or, if earlier, the expiration date of such Downgraded Facility), request a drawing
in accordance with and to the extent permitted by such Downgraded Facility (such drawing, a “Downgrade Drawing”) of the Available Amount thereunder. Amounts drawn pursuant to a Downgrade Drawing shall be maintained and invested as
provided in Section 3.05(f) hereof. Subject to Section 3.05(e)(iii), the applicable Liquidity Provider may also arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Provider to issue and deliver a Replacement Liquidity Facility at any time after such
Downgrade Drawing so long as such Downgrade Drawing has not been reimbursed in full to such Liquidity Provider. 
 (iv) For the avoidance of
doubt, the provisions of this Section 3.05(c) shall apply to each occurrence of a Downgrade Event with respect to a Liquidity Provider, regardless of whether or not one or more Downgrade Events have occurred prior thereto and whether or not any
confirmation by a Rating Agency specified in Section 3.05(c)(i) has been obtained with respect to any prior occurrence of a Downgrade Event. 

(v) If, at any time after making a Downgrade Drawing, the applicable Liquidity Provider satisfies the applicable Threshold Rating and delivers
written notice to such effect to the Subordination Agent and Delta, as of the second Business Day following receipt of such notice, (A) such Downgraded Facility shall cease to be a Downgraded Facility, (B) the Subordination Agent shall
withdraw the unapplied amount of such Downgrade Drawing on deposit in the applicable Cash Collateral Account and reimburse such amount to such Liquidity Provider, (C) any applied amount of such Downgrade Drawing shall be deemed to have been
converted to an Interest Drawing as of such date in accordance with the applicable Liquidity Facility, (D) the obligations of such Liquidity Provider shall be reinstated in accordance with the applicable Liquidity Facility, and (E) the
proviso in the definition of Available Amount shall no longer apply to such Downgrade Advance. 
 (d) Non-Extension Drawings. If any
Liquidity Facility with respect to any Class of Certificates is scheduled to expire on a date (the “Stated Expiration Date”) prior to the date that is 15 days after the Final Legal Distribution Date for such Class of Certificates,
then the following provisions shall apply: 
 (i) In the case of either initial Liquidity Facility or any other Liquidity Facility having
extension provisions identical to those set forth in Section 2.10 of either initial Liquidity Facility, then, if before the 60th day prior to any anniversary date of the Closing Date (such 60th day, the “Notice Date”), the Liquidity Provider shall have advised the Subordination Agent and Delta that such Liquidity Facility shall not be extended beyond the immediately
following anniversary date of the Closing Date and on or before the 25th day prior to such anniversary date such Liquidity Facility shall not have been replaced in accordance with
Section 3.05(e), the Subordination Agent shall, on such 25th day (or as soon 

  
 Intercreditor Agreement
(2015-1) 
 (2015-1 EETC) 
  

30 







 
thereafter as possible but prior to the date of expiration of the expiring Liquidity Facility (a “Non-Extended Facility”), in accordance with the terms of such Non-Extended
Facility, request a drawing under such Non-Extended Liquidity Facility (such drawing, a “Non-Extension Drawing”) of the Available Amount thereunder. 

(ii) In the case of any other Liquidity Facility, no earlier than the 60th day and no later than the 40th day prior to the then applicable
Stated Expiration Date, the Subordination Agent shall request in writing that such Liquidity Provider extend the Stated Expiration Date to the earlier of (i) the date that is 15 days after the Final Legal Distribution Date for such Class of
Certificates and (ii) the date that is the day immediately preceding the 364th day after the last day of the Consent Period (unless the obligations of such Liquidity Provider thereunder are earlier terminated in accordance with such Liquidity
Facility). Whether or not the applicable Liquidity Provider has received a request from the Subordination Agent, such Liquidity Provider shall by notice (the “Consent Notice”) to the Subordination Agent, during the period commencing
on the date that is 60 days prior to the then effective Stated Expiration Date (or if earlier, the date of such Liquidity Provider’s receipt of such request, if any, from the Subordination Agent) and ending on the date that is 25 days prior to
such Stated Expiration Date (the “Consent Period”) advise the Subordination Agent whether, in its sole discretion, it agrees to so extend the Stated Expiration Date; provided, that such extension shall not be effective with respect
to such Liquidity Provider if, by notice (the “Withdrawal Notice”) to the Subordination Agent prior to the end of the Consent Period, such Liquidity Provider revokes its Consent Notice. If a Liquidity Provider advises the
Subordination Agent on or before the end of the Consent Period that such Stated Expiration Date shall not be so extended or fails to irrevocably and unconditionally advise the Subordination Agent on or before the end of the Consent Period that such
Stated Expiration Date shall be so extended or gives a Withdrawal Notice to the Subordination Agent prior to the end of the Consent Period (and, in each case, if such Liquidity Provider shall not have been replaced in accordance with
Section 3.05(e)), the Subordination Agent shall, on the date on which the Consent Period ends (or as soon as possible thereafter but prior to the Stated Expiration Date), in accordance with and to the extent permitted by the terms of the
Non-Extended Facility, request a Non-Extension Drawing under such Non-Extended Facility of the Available Amount thereunder. 
 (iii) Amounts
drawn pursuant to a Non-Extension Drawing shall be maintained and invested in accordance with Section 3.05(f). 
 (e) Issuance of
Replacement Liquidity Facility. (i) Subject to Section 3.05(e)(iii) and the agreements, if any, in the applicable Fee Letter, at any time, Delta may, at its option and at its own expense, with cause or without cause, arrange for a
Replacement Liquidity Facility to replace any Liquidity Facility for any Class of Certificates (including any Replacement Liquidity Facility provided pursuant to Section 3.05(e)(ii)). If such Replacement Liquidity Facility is provided at any
time after a Downgrade Drawing, a Non-Extension Drawing or a Special Termination Drawing has been made, all funds on deposit in the relevant Cash Collateral Account resulting from such Downgrade Drawing, Non-Extension Drawing or Special Termination
Drawing will be returned to the Liquidity Provider being replaced. 
 (ii) If any Liquidity Provider shall determine not to extend its
Liquidity Facility in accordance with Section 3.05(d), then such Liquidity Provider may, at its option and its own expense, arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility to replace such Liquidity Facility during the period no earlier than 40
days and no later than 25 days prior to the then effective Stated Expiration Date of such Liquidity Facility. At any time after a Non-Extension Drawing has been made under any Liquidity Facility, the Liquidity Provider thereunder may, at its option
and its own expense, arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility to replace the Liquidity Facility under which such Non-Extension Drawing has been made.

 (iii) No Replacement Liquidity Facility arranged by Delta or a Liquidity Provider in accordance
with clause (i) or (ii) above or pursuant to Section 3.05(c), respectively, shall become effective and no such Replacement Liquidity Facility shall be deemed a “Liquidity Facility” under the Operative Agreements,
unless and until (A) each of the conditions referred to in sub-clauses (iv)(x) and (z) below shall have been satisfied, (B) if such Replacement Liquidity Facility shall materially
adversely affect the rights, remedies, interests or obligations of the Class AA Certificateholders, the Class A Certificateholders or the Class B Certificateholders under any of the Operative Agreements, the applicable Trustee shall have
consented, in writing, to the execution and issuance of such Replacement Liquidity Facility and (C) in the case of a Replacement Liquidity Facility arranged by a Liquidity Provider under Section 3.05(e)(ii) or pursuant to
Section 3.05(c), such Replacement Liquidity Facility is reasonably acceptable to Delta. 
 (iv) In connection with the issuance of each
Replacement Liquidity Facility, the Subordination Agent shall (x) prior to the issuance of such Replacement Liquidity Facility, obtain written confirmation from each Rating Agency to the effect that such Replacement Liquidity Facility will not
cause a reduction, withdrawal or suspension of any rating then in effect for the related Class of Certificates by such Rating Agency (without regard to any downgrading of any rating of the Liquidity Provider being replaced pursuant to
Section 3.05(c)), (y) pay all Liquidity Obligations then owing to the replaced Liquidity Provider (which payment shall be made first from available funds in the applicable Cash Collateral Account as described in Section 3.05(f), and
thereafter from any other available source, including, without limitation, a drawing under the Replacement Liquidity Facility) and (z) cause the issuer of the Replacement Liquidity Facility to deliver the Replacement Liquidity Facility to the
Subordination Agent, together with a legal opinion opining that such Replacement Liquidity Facility is an enforceable obligation of such Replacement Liquidity Provider. 

(v) Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clauses (iii) and (iv) of this Section 3.05(e) with respect to a
Replacement Liquidity Facility, (1) the replaced Liquidity Facility shall terminate, (2) the Subordination Agent shall, if and to the extent so requested by Delta or the Liquidity Provider being replaced, execute and deliver any
certificate or other instrument required in order to terminate the replaced Liquidity Facility, shall surrender the replaced Liquidity Facility to the Liquidity Provider being replaced and shall execute and deliver the Replacement Liquidity Facility
and any associated Fee Letter, (3) each of the parties hereto shall enter into any amendments to this Agreement necessary to give effect to (a) the replacement of the applicable Liquidity Provider with the applicable Replacement Liquidity
Provider and (b) the replacement of the applicable Liquidity Facility with the applicable Replacement Liquidity Facility, and (4) the applicable Replacement Liquidity Provider shall be deemed to be a Liquidity Provider with the rights and
obligations of a Liquidity Provider hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements and such Replacement Liquidity Facility shall be deemed to be a Liquidity Facility hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements. 

(f) Cash Collateral Accounts; Withdrawals; Investments. In the event the Subordination Agent shall draw all Available Amounts under the
Class AA Liquidity Facility, the Class A Liquidity Facility or the Class B Liquidity Facility pursuant to Section 3.05(c), 3.05(d), 3.05(i) or 3.05(k), or in the event amounts are to be deposited in the Class AA Cash Collateral Account,
the Class A Cash Collateral Account or the Class B Cash Collateral Account pursuant to subclause (A) or (B) of clause “fourth” of Section 3.02, amounts so drawn or to be deposited, as the case may be, shall be deposited
by the Subordination Agent in the Class AA Cash Collateral Account, the Class A Cash Collateral Account or the Class B Cash Collateral Account, as applicable. All amounts on deposit in each Cash Collateral Account shall be invested and
reinvested in Eligible Investments in accordance with Section 2.02(b).

the distribution of a Special Payment, on such Special Distribution Date), Investment Earnings on amounts on deposit in each Cash Collateral Account with respect to any Liquidity Facility (or in the case of any Special Distribution Date with respect
to the distribution of a Special Payment, so long as no Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under any Indenture, a fraction of such Investment Earnings equal to the Section 2.04 Fraction) shall be deposited in the
Collection Account (or, in the case of any Special Distribution Date with respect to the distribution of a Special Payment, the Special Payments Account) and applied on such Interest Payment Date (or Special Distribution Date, as the case may be) in

unpaid interest due and owing on the Class AA Certificates (at the Stated Interest Rate for the Class AA Certificates) after giving effect to the subordination provisions of this Agreement, withdraw from the Class AA Cash Collateral Account, and pay

reduced by payments made to the Class AA Certificateholders pursuant to Section 3.02 hereof, the Subordination Agent shall withdraw from the Class AA Cash Collateral Account such amount as is necessary so that, after giving effect to the
reduction of the Pool Balance on such date (and any reduction in the amounts on deposit in the Class AA Cash Collateral Account resulting from a prior withdrawal of amounts on deposit in the Class AA Cash Collateral Account on such date) and any
transfer of Investment Earnings from such Cash Collateral Account to the Collection Account or the Special Payments Account on such date, an amount equal to the sum of the Required Amount (with respect to the Class AA Liquidity Facility) plus (if on

constituting the unapplied amount of any Downgrade Drawing and shall pay such amounts to such Liquidity Provider and the obligations of such Liquidity Provider shall be reinstated in accordance with the applicable Liquidity Facility; and

such Class of Certificates that the Liquidity Obligations owed to such Liquidity Provider have been paid in full, or, if earlier, the first Business Day after such Final Legal Distribution Date,
the Subordination Agent shall withdraw all amounts on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account in respect of such Class of Certificates, if any, and shall deposit such amounts in the Collection Account. 

(g) Reinstatement. With respect to any Interest Drawing under the Liquidity Facility for any relevant Trust, upon the reimbursement of
the applicable Liquidity Provider for all or any part of the amount of such Interest Drawing, together with any accrued interest thereon, the Available Amount of such Liquidity Facility shall be reinstated by an amount equal to the amount of such
Interest Drawing so reimbursed to the applicable Liquidity Provider but not to exceed the Stated Amount for such Liquidity Facility; provided, however, that the Available Amount of such Liquidity Facility shall not be so reinstated in
part or in full pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.05(g) at any time if (x) both a Performing Note Deficiency exists and a Liquidity Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the relevant
Liquidity Facility or (y) a Final Drawing, Downgrade Drawing, Non-Extension Drawing or Special Termination Drawing shall have occurred with respect to such Liquidity Facility or an Interest Drawing shall have been converted into a Final
Drawing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event that, with respect to any particular Liquidity Facility, (i) funds are withdrawn from the related Cash Collateral Account pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of
Section 3.05(f) or (ii) such Liquidity Facility shall become a Downgraded Facility or a Non-Extended Facility at a time when unreimbursed Interest Drawings under such Liquidity Facility have reduced the Available Amount thereunder to zero,
then funds received by the Subordination Agent at any time, other than (x) any time when both a Performing Note Deficiency exists and a Liquidity Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to such Liquidity Facility or
(y) any time after a Final Drawing shall have occurred with respect to such Liquidity Facility or an Interest Drawing for such Liquidity Facility shall have been converted into a Final Drawing, shall be deposited in such Cash Collateral Account
as and to the extent provided in clause “fourth” of Section 3.02 and applied in accordance with Section 3.05(f). 
 (h)
Reimbursement. The amount of each drawing under the Liquidity Facilities shall be due and payable, together with interest thereon, on the dates and at the rates, respectively, provided in the Liquidity Facilities. 

(i) Final Drawing. Upon receipt from a Liquidity Provider of a Termination Notice with respect to its applicable Liquidity Facility,
the Subordination Agent shall, not later than the date specified in such Termination Notice, in accordance with the terms of such Liquidity Facility, request a drawing under such Liquidity Facility of the Available Amount thereunder (a
“Final Drawing”). Amounts drawn pursuant to a Final Drawing shall be maintained and invested in accordance with Section 3.05(f). 

(j) Adjustments of Stated Amount. Promptly following each date on which the Required Amount of the Liquidity Facility for a relevant
Class of Certificates is reduced as a result of a reduction in the Pool Balance with respect to such Certificates or otherwise, the Subordination Agent shall, if any such Liquidity Facility provides for reductions of the Stated Amount of such
Liquidity Facility and if such reductions are not automatic, request such Liquidity Provider for such Class of Certificates to reduce such Stated Amount to an amount equal to the Required Amount with respect to such Liquidity Facility (as calculated
by the Subordination Agent after giving effect to such payment). Each such request shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Liquidity Facility. 

(k) Special Termination Drawing. Upon receipt from a Liquidity Provider of a Special Termination Notice with respect to any Liquidity
Facility, the Subordination Agent shall, not later than the date specified in such Special Termination Notice, in accordance with the terms of such Liquidity

Facility, request a drawing under such Liquidity Facility of the Available Amount thereunder (a “Special Termination Drawing”). Amounts drawn pursuant to a Special Termination
Drawing shall be maintained and invested in accordance with Section 3.05(f) hereof. 
 (l) Relation to Subordination Provisions.
Interest Drawings under the Liquidity Facilities and withdrawals from the Cash Collateral Accounts, in each case, in respect of interest on the Certificates of any Class, will be distributed to the Trustee for such Class of Certificates,
notwithstanding Sections 2.01(b) and 3.02. 
 (m) Assignment of Liquidity Facility. The Subordination Agent agrees not to
consent to the assignment by any Liquidity Provider of any of its rights or obligations under any Liquidity Facility or any interest therein unless (i) Delta shall have consented to such assignment and (ii) each Rating Agency shall have
provided a Ratings Confirmation with respect to each Class of Certificates then rated by such Rating Agency in connection with such assignment; provided, that the Subordination Agent shall consent to such assignment if the conditions in the
foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) are satisfied, and the foregoing is not intended to and shall not be construed to limit the rights of any initial Liquidity Provider under Section 3.05(e)(ii). 

ARTICLE IV 
 EXERCISE OF
REMEDIES 
 Section 4.01 Directions from the Controlling Party. (a) (i) Following the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Indenture Event of Default under any Indenture, the Controlling Party shall direct the Subordination Agent, as the holder of the Equipment Notes issued under such Indenture, which in turn shall direct the Loan Trustee under such
Indenture, in the exercise of remedies available to the holders of such Equipment Notes, including, without limitation, the ability to vote all such Equipment Notes held by the Subordination Agent in favor of Accelerating such Equipment Notes in
accordance with the provisions of such Indenture. Subject to Section 4.01(a)(iii), if the Equipment Notes issued pursuant to any Indenture have been Accelerated following an Indenture Event of Default with respect thereto, the Controlling Party
may direct the Subordination Agent to sell, assign, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver all (but not less than all) of such Equipment Notes to any Person at public or private sale, at any location at the option of the Controlling
Party, all upon such terms and conditions as the Controlling Party may reasonably deem advisable and in accordance with applicable law. 

(ii) Following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Indenture Event of Default under any Indenture, in the exercise of remedies
pursuant to such Indenture, the Loan Trustee under such Indenture may be directed to lease the related Aircraft to any Person (including Delta) so long as the Loan Trustee in doing so acts in a “commercially reasonable” manner within the
meaning of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any applicable jurisdiction (including Sections 9-610 and 9-627 thereof). 

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as any Certificates remain Outstanding, during the period ending on the date which is nine months
after the earlier of (x) the Acceleration of the Equipment Notes issued pursuant to any Indenture or (y) the occurrence of a Delta Bankruptcy Event, without the consent of each Trustee (other than the Trustee of any Trust all of the
Certificates of which are held or beneficially owned by Delta and/or its Affiliates), no Aircraft subject to the Lien of such Indenture or such Equipment Notes may be sold if the net proceeds from such sale would be less than the Minimum Sale Price
for such Aircraft or such Equipment Notes.

 (iv) Upon the occurrence and continuation of an Indenture Event of Default under any Indenture,
the Subordination Agent will obtain a desktop appraisal from each of the three Appraisers selected by the Controlling Party setting forth the current market value, current lease rate and distressed value (in each case, as defined by the
International Society of Transport Aircraft Trading or any successor organization) of the Aircraft subject to such Indenture (each such appraisal, an “Appraisal” and the current market value appraisals being referred to herein as
the “Post-Default Appraisals”). For so long as any Indenture Event of Default shall be continuing under any Indenture, and without limiting the right of the Controlling Party to request more frequent Appraisals, the Subordination
Agent will obtain updated Appraisals on the date that is 364 days from the date of the most recent Appraisal (or if a Delta Bankruptcy Event shall have occurred and is continuing, on the date that is 180 days from the date of the most recent
Appraisal) and shall (acting on behalf of each Trustee) post such Appraisals on DTC’s Internet bulletin board or make such other commercially reasonable efforts as the Subordination Agent may deem appropriate to make such Appraisals available
to all Certificateholders. 
 (b) Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Indenture Event of Default under any Indenture,
the Controlling Party shall take such actions as it may reasonably deem most effectual to complete the sale or other disposition of the relevant Aircraft or Equipment Notes. In addition, in lieu of any sale, assignment, contract to sell or other
disposition, the Controlling Party may maintain or cause the Subordination Agent to maintain possession of such Equipment Notes and continue to apply monies received in respect of such Equipment Notes in accordance with Article III hereof. In
addition, in lieu of such sale, assignment, contract to sell or other disposition, or in lieu of such maintenance of possession, the Controlling Party may direct the Subordination Agent to, subject to the terms and conditions of the related
Indenture, instruct the Loan Trustee under such Indenture to foreclose on the Lien on the related Aircraft or to take any other remedial action permitted under such Indenture or under any applicable law. 

(c) If following a Delta Bankruptcy Event and during the pendency thereof, the Controlling Party receives a proposal from or on behalf of
Delta to restructure the financing of any one or more of the Aircraft, the Controlling Party shall promptly thereafter give the Subordination Agent, each Trustee and each Liquidity Provider that has not made a Final Drawing notice of the material
economic terms and conditions of such restructuring proposal whereupon the Subordination Agent acting on behalf of each Trustee shall post such terms and conditions of such restructuring proposal on DTC’s Internet bulletin board or make such
other commercially reasonable efforts as the Subordination Agent may deem appropriate to make such terms and conditions available to all Certificateholders. Thereafter, neither the Subordination Agent nor any Trustee, whether acting on instructions
of the Controlling Party or otherwise, may, without the consent of each Trustee and each Liquidity Provider that has not made a Final Drawing, enter into any term sheet, stipulation or other agreement (a “Restructuring Arrangement”)
(whether in the form of an adequate protection stipulation, an extension under Section 1110(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) to effect any such restructuring proposal with or on behalf of Delta unless and until the material economic
terms and conditions of such restructuring proposal shall have been made available to all Certificateholders and each Liquidity Provider that has not made a Final Drawing for a period of not less than 15 days (except that such requirement shall not
apply to any such term sheet, stipulation or other agreement that is to be effective on or as of any date occurring during the 60-Day Period and that is initially effective for a period not exceeding three months from the expiry of the 60-Day Period
(an “Interim Restructuring Arrangement”)). The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.01(c): (i) shall not apply to any extension of a Restructuring Arrangement with respect to which such provisions have been complied with
in connection with the original entry thereof if the possibility of such extension has been disclosed in satisfaction of the notification requirements of such provisions and such extension shall not amend or modify any of the other terms and
conditions of such Restructuring Arrangement and (ii) shall apply to the initial extension of an Interim Restructuring Arrangement beyond the three months following the expiry of the 60-Day Period but not to any subsequent extension of such
Interim 

  
 Intercreditor Agreement
(2015-1) 
 (2015-1 EETC) 
  

37 







 
Restructuring Arrangement, if the possibility of such subsequent extension has been disclosed in satisfaction of the notification requirements of such provisions and such subsequent extension
shall not amend or modify any of the other terms and conditions of such Interim Restructuring Arrangement. In the event that any Certificateholder gives irrevocable notice of the exercise of its right to purchase all (but not less than all) of the
Class of Certificates represented by the then Controlling Party pursuant to the applicable Trust Agreement, prior to the expiry of the 15-day notice period specified above, such Controlling Party may not direct the Subordination Agent or any Trustee
to enter into any such restructuring proposal with respect to any of the Aircraft, unless and until such Certificateholder shall fail to purchase such Class of Certificates on the date that it is required to make such purchase. 

Section 4.02 Remedies Cumulative. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each and every right, power and remedy given to the
Trustees, the Liquidity Providers, the Controlling Party or the Subordination Agent specifically or otherwise in this Agreement shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or
hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may, subject always to the terms and conditions hereof, be exercised from time to time and as
often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by any Trustee, any Liquidity Provider, the Controlling Party or the Subordination Agent, as appropriate, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall not be
construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy. No delay or omission by any Trustee, any Liquidity Provider, the Controlling Party or the Subordination Agent in the exercise of any
right, remedy or power or in the pursuit of any remedy shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any default or to be an acquiescence therein. 

Section 4.03 Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case any party to this Agreement (including the Controlling Party in such capacity)
shall have instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Agreement by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such Proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely
to the Person instituting such Proceeding, then and in every such case each such party shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored to its former position and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of such party
shall continue as if no such Proceeding had been instituted. 
 Section 4.04 Right of Certificateholders and the Liquidity Providers
to Receive Payments Not to Be Impaired. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding but subject to each Trust Agreement, the right of any Certificateholder or any Liquidity Provider, respectively, to receive payments hereunder
(including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 3.02) when due, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the applicable Distribution Date, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such
Certificateholder or such Liquidity Provider, respectively. 
 ARTICLE V

confirmed in writing), unless such Indenture Event of Default or Triggering Event shall have been cured or waived. For all purposes of this Agreement, in the absence of actual knowledge, the Subordination Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge
of any Indenture Event of Default or Triggering Event unless notified in writing by Delta, one or more Trustees, one or more Liquidity Providers or one or more Certificateholders; and “actual knowledge” (as used in the foregoing clause) of
the Subordination Agent shall mean actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Subordination Agent.

 Section 5.02 Indemnification. The Subordination Agent shall not be required to take
any action or refrain from taking any action under Article IV unless the Subordination Agent shall have received indemnification against any risks that may be incurred in connection therewith in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to it,
including, without limitation, adequate advances against costs (including fees and expenses) that may be incurred by it in connection therewith. The Subordination Agent shall not be required to take any action under Article IV, nor shall any
other provision of this Agreement or any other Operative Agreement be deemed to impose a duty on the Subordination Agent to take any action, if the Subordination Agent shall have been advised by outside counsel that such action is contrary to the
terms hereof or is otherwise contrary to law. Under no circumstances shall the Subordination Agent be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in performing its duties or exercising its rights or powers
hereunder if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds is not assured to it. 
 Section 5.03 No
Duties Except as Specified in Intercreditor Agreement. The Subordination Agent shall not have any duty or obligation to take or refrain from taking any action under, or in connection with, this Agreement, except as expressly provided by the

right of indemnity in respect of any such cost or expense) promptly take such action as may be necessary to discharge duly all Liens on any of the Trust Accounts or any monies deposited therein that are attributable to the Subordination Agent in its
individual capacity and that are unrelated to the transaction contemplated hereby and by the other Operative Agreements. 

Section 5.04 Notice from the Liquidity Providers and Trustees. If any Liquidity Provider or Trustee has notice of an Indenture
Event of Default or a Triggering Event, such Person shall promptly give notice thereof to all other Liquidity Providers and Trustees and to the Subordination Agent; provided, however, that no such Person shall have any liability
hereunder as a result of its failure to deliver any such notice. 
 ARTICLE VI

willful misconduct or negligence, (b) as provided in Section 2.02 and the last sentence of Section 5.03, (c) for liabilities that may result from the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of the Subordination Agent made in

 Section 6.04 No Segregation of Monies; No Interest. Any monies paid to or
retained by the Subordination Agent pursuant to any provision hereof and not then required to be distributed to any Trustee or any Liquidity Provider as provided in Articles II and III or deposited into one or more Trust Accounts need not be
segregated in any manner except to the extent required by such Articles II and III and by law, and the Subordination Agent shall not (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.02) be liable for any interest thereon; provided,

Balance of any Trust as of any date, the Subordination Agent may for all purposes hereof rely on a certificate signed by any Responsible Officer of the applicable Trustee, and such certificate shall constitute full protection to the Subordination

Subordination Agent shall have exercised reasonable care and judgment in selecting such Persons).

Acting. The Subordination Agent acts hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements solely as agent or trustee herein and not in its individual capacity, except as otherwise expressly provided herein and in the Operative Agreements. 

Section 6.07 Compensation. The Subordination Agent shall be entitled to such compensation, including reasonable expenses and
disbursements, for all services rendered hereunder as Delta and the Subordination Agent may agree from time to time in writing and shall have a priority claim to the extent set forth in Article III on all monies collected hereunder for the
payment of such compensation, to the extent that such compensation shall not be paid by others. The Subordination Agent agrees that it shall have no right against any Trustee or any Liquidity Provider for any fee as compensation for its services as

the purposes of this Section 6.09 the combined capital and surplus of such bank, trust company or other financial institution or such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of

thereto must resign if at any time it fails to comply with Section 6.09 and may resign at any time without cause by giving 60 days’ prior written notice to Delta, the Trustees and the Liquidity Providers. The Controlling Party or Delta
(only so long as no Indenture Event of Default has occurred or is continuing) may remove the Subordination Agent for cause by so notifying the Subordination Agent and may appoint a successor Subordination Agent. The Controlling Party (or the party
that would be the Controlling Party if an Indenture Event of Default had occurred) shall remove the Subordination Agent if: 

(1) the Subordination Agent fails to comply with Section 6.09;

 (2) the Subordination Agent is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or files a
bankruptcy petition; 
 (3) a receiver of the Subordination Agent shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge
or control of the Subordination Agent or its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation; or 

(4) the Subordination Agent otherwise becomes incapable of acting. 

If the Subordination Agent resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Subordination Agent for any reason (the Subordination
Agent in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Subordination Agent), the Controlling Party (or the party that would be the Controlling Party if an Indenture Event of Default had occurred) shall promptly appoint a successor
Subordination Agent. If a successor Subordination Agent shall not have been appointed within 60 days after such notice of resignation or removal, the retiring Subordination Agent, one or more of the Trustees or one or more of the Liquidity Providers
may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Subordination Agent to act until such time, if any, as a successor shall have been appointed as provided above. 

A successor Subordination Agent shall deliver (x) a written acceptance of its appointment as Subordination Agent hereunder to the
retiring Subordination Agent and (y) a written assumption of its obligations hereunder and under each Liquidity Facility to each party hereto, upon which the resignation or removal of the retiring Subordination Agent shall become effective, and
the successor Subordination Agent shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Subordination Agent under this Agreement. The successor Subordination Agent shall mail a notice of its succession to Delta, the Liquidity Providers and the
Trustees. The retiring Subordination Agent shall promptly transfer its rights under each of the Liquidity Facilities and all of the property and all books and records, or true, complete and correct copies thereof, held by it as Subordination Agent
to the successor Subordination Agent. 
 If the Subordination Agent fails to comply with Section 6.09 (to the extent applicable), one
or more of the Trustees or one or more of the Liquidity Providers may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Subordination Agent and the appointment of a successor Subordination Agent. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no resignation or removal of the Subordination Agent shall be effective unless and until a successor has been
appointed. No appointment of a successor Subordination Agent shall be effective unless and until the Rating Agencies shall have delivered a Ratings Confirmation with respect to each Class of Certificates then rated by the Rating Agencies. 

(b) Any corporation, bank, trust company or other financial institution into which the Subordination Agent may be merged or converted or with
which it may be consolidated, or any corporation, bank, trust company or other financial institution resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Subordination Agent shall be a party, or any corporation, bank, trust company or
other financial institution succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Subordination Agent, shall be the successor of the Subordination Agent hereunder, provided that such corporation, bank, trust company or
other financial institution shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under Section 6.09, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, except that such corporation, bank, trust
company or other financial institution shall give prompt notice of such transaction to the Liquidity Providers and Delta.

the consent of the Certificateholders to the extent permitted thereby, Section 9.01 thereof)), the Subordination Agent and each Liquidity Provider; provided, however, that this Agreement may be supplemented, amended or modified by
a written agreement of Delta and the Subordination Agent without the consent of any Trustee or any Liquidity Provider (i) in order to cure any ambiguity or omission or to correct any mistake, (ii) in order to make any other
provision in regard to matters or questions arising hereunder that will not materially adversely affect the interests of any Trustee or the holders of the related Class of Certificates or any Liquidity Provider (provided, that the consent of
any Trustee or Liquidity Provider shall be required only if such Trustee’s interests (or the interests of the holders of the related Class of Certificates) or such Liquidity Provider’s interests, respectively, will be materially adversely
affected) or (iii) if such supplement, amendment or modification is in accordance with Section 8.01(c) or 8.01(d); provided further, however, that, if such supplement, amendment or modification (x) would directly
or indirectly amend, modify or supersede, or otherwise conflict with, Section 2.02(b), 3.05(c), 3.05(e), 3.05(f), 3.05(m), 4.01(a)(ii) or 4.01(c), this proviso of Section 8.01(a), the last sentence of Section 8.01(a) or
Section 8.01(c), 8.01(d) or 9.06 (collectively, the “Delta Provisions”), (y) would otherwise adversely affect the interests of any potential Replacement Liquidity Provider or of Delta with respect to Delta’s ability
to replace any Liquidity Facility or with respect to Delta’s payment obligations under any Operative Agreement or (z) is made pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 8.01(a) or pursuant to Section 8.01(c) or
pursuant to Section 8.01(d), then such supplement, amendment or modification shall not be effective without the additional written consent of Delta. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of each Certificateholder
affected thereby and each Liquidity Provider, no supplement, amendment or modification of this Agreement may (i) reduce the percentage of the interest in any Trust evidenced by the Certificates issued by such Trust necessary to
consent to modify or amend any provision of this Agreement or to waive compliance therewith or (ii) except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 8.01(a) or Section 8.01(c) or Section 8.01(d), modify
Section 2.04, 3.02 or 3.03 hereof relating to the distribution of monies received by the Subordination Agent hereunder from the Equipment Notes or pursuant to the Liquidity Facilities. Nothing contained in this Section 8.01(a) shall
require the consent of a Trustee at any time following the payment of Final Distributions with respect to the related Class of Certificates. If the Replacement Liquidity Facility for any Liquidity Facility is to be comprised of more than one
instrument as contemplated by the definition of the term “Replacement Liquidity Facility”, then each party hereto agrees to amend this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements to incorporate appropriate mechanics for multiple
instruments for such Replacement Liquidity Facility for a single Trust (including without limitation clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 2.04(a) and clauses “first” through “fifth” of Section 3.02, in
each case, with respect to the Replacement Liquidity Provider of such Replacement Liquidity Facility). 
 (b) In the event that the
Subordination Agent, as the registered holder of any Equipment Notes, receives a request for the giving of notice or its consent to any amendment, supplement, modification, approval, consent or waiver under such Equipment Notes, the Indenture
pursuant to which such Equipment Notes were issued, the related Participation Agreement or other related document, (i) if no Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to such Indenture, the Subordination
Agent shall request directions with respect to each series of such Equipment

Notes from the Trustee of the Trust which holds such Equipment Notes and shall vote or consent in accordance with the directions of such Trustee and (ii) if any Indenture Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to such Indenture, the Subordination Agent will exercise its voting rights as directed by the Controlling Party, subject to Sections 4.01 and 4.04. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the
consent of each Liquidity Provider and each affected Certificateholder holding Certificates representing a Fractional Undivided Interest in the Equipment Notes under the applicable Indenture held by the Subordination Agent, no such amendment,
supplement, modification, approval, consent or waiver shall (i) reduce the principal amount of, Premium, if any, or interest on, any such Equipment Note under such Indenture; (ii) change the date on which any principal amount of, Premium,
if any, or interest on any such Equipment Note under such Indenture, is due or payable; (iii) create any Lien with respect to the Collateral subject to such Indenture prior to or pari passu with the Lien thereon under such Indenture
except such as are permitted by such Indenture; provided that, without the consent of each Certificateholder, no such amendment, supplement, modification, approval, consent or waiver shall modify Section 3.03 or Section 9.02(a)(3)
of such Indenture or deprive any Certificateholder of the benefit of the Lien of such Indenture on such Collateral, except as provided in connection with the exercise of remedies under Article IV of such Indenture or as otherwise permitted by
such Indenture; (iv) reduce the percentage of the outstanding principal amount of the Equipment Notes under such Indenture the consent of whose holders is required for any supplemental agreement, or the consent of whose holders is required for
any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of such Indenture or of certain defaults thereunder or their consequences provided for in such Indenture; or (v) make any change in Section 4.05 or Section 9.02 of such Indenture,
except to provide that certain other provisions of such Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of each holder of an Equipment Note under such Indenture affected thereby. 

(c) If (x) the Series A Equipment Notes or Series B Equipment Notes (or any series of Additional Equipment Notes), with respect to
all of the Aircraft for which Series A Equipment Notes or Series B Equipment Notes (or such series of Additional Equipment Notes) are at the time outstanding, are redeemed and new Equipment Notes of corresponding series are to be issued with
respect to any or all of the Aircraft under the applicable Indentures or (y) at any time following the payment in full of the Series A Equipment Notes or Series B Equipment Notes (or any series of Additional Equipment Notes) with respect
to all of the Aircraft for which Series A Equipment Notes or Series B Equipment Notes (or such series of Additional Equipment Notes) are at the time outstanding and new Equipment Notes of corresponding series are to be issued with respect to any or
all of the Aircraft under the applicable Indentures, in each case in accordance with the terms of Section 2.02 of each such Indenture, such series of new Equipment Notes in each case (the “Refinancing Equipment Notes”) shall be
issued to a new pass through trust (a “Refinancing Trust”) that issues a class of pass through certificates (the “Refinancing Certificates”) to certificateholders (each, a “Refinancing
Certificateholder”) pursuant to a pass through trust agreement (a “Refinancing Trust Agreement”) with a trustee (a “Refinancing Trustee”). A Refinancing Trust, a Refinancing Trustee and the Refinancing
Certificates shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement in the same manner as the Trust, the Trustee and the Certificates of the Class corresponding to the series of the refinanced Equipment Notes, including, the subordination of
the Refinancing Certificates to the extent provided herein to (A) in the case of any Refinancing Certificates issued in respect of Class A Certificates, the Administration Expenses, the Liquidity Obligations and the Class AA
Certificates, (B) in the case of any Refinancing Certificates issued in respect of Class B Certificates, the Administration Expenses, the Liquidity Obligations, the Class AA Certificates and the Class A Certificates and
(C) in the case of any Refinancing Certificates issued in respect of any Additional Certificates, the Administration Expenses, the Liquidity Obligations, the Class AA Certificates, the Class A Certificates, the Class B Certificates
and, if applicable, any other class of Additional Certificates that rank senior, in priority of payment of “Expected Distributions” under this Agreement, to such Refinancing Certificates. Such issuance of Refinancing Equipment Notes and
Refinancing Certificates and the amendment of this Agreement as provided below shall require Ratings

Confirmation with respect to each Class of Certificates then rated by the Rating Agencies and shall not materially adversely affect any of the Trustees in their individual capacities or any of
the Liquidity Providers. This Agreement shall be amended by written agreement of Delta and the Subordination Agent to give effect to the issuance of any Refinancing Certificates subject to the following terms and conditions: 

(i) the Refinancing Trustee shall be added as a party to this Agreement; 

(ii) the definitions of “Certificate”, “Class”, “Class A Certificates”, “Class B
Certificates”, “Final Legal Distribution Date”, “Trust”, “Trust Agreement” and “Controlling Party” (and such other applicable definitions) shall be revised, as appropriate, to reflect such issuance (and
the subordination, as applicable, of the Refinancing Certificates and the Refinancing Equipment Notes); 
 (iii) the
Refinancing Certificates may have the benefit of credit support similar to the Liquidity Facilities or different therefrom and claims for fees, interest, expenses, reimbursement of advances and other obligations arising from such credit support
(A) in the case of any Refinancing Certificates issued in respect of the Class A Certificates, may rank pari passu with similar claims in respect of the Liquidity Facilities, (B) in the case of any Refinancing Certificates
issued in respect of any Class B Certificates, may rank pari passu with similar claims in respect of the Liquidity Facilities, and (C) in the case of any Refinancing Certificates issued in respect of any Additional Certificates, shall be
subordinated, at least, to the Administration Expenses, the Liquidity Obligations, the Class AA Certificates, the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates; provided that, (x) in each case, Ratings Confirmation with respect
to each Class of Certificates then rated by the Rating Agencies shall have been obtained and (y) (1) in the case of clause (A) the prior written consent of the Class AA Liquidity Provider and the Class B Liquidity Provider shall have
been obtained and (2) in the case of clause (B) the prior written consent of the Class AA Liquidity Provider and the Class A Liquidity Provider shall have been obtained; 

(iv) the Refinancing Certificates cannot be issued to Delta but may be issued to any of Delta’s Affiliates so long as such
Affiliate shall have bankruptcy remote and special purpose provisions in its certificate of incorporation or other organizational documents and any subsequent transfer of such Refinancing Certificates from such Affiliate to any other Affiliate of
Delta shall be similarly restricted; and 
 (v) the scheduled payment dates on the Refinancing Equipment Notes shall be the
Regular Distribution Dates. 
 The issuance of the Refinancing Certificates in compliance with all of the foregoing terms in clauses
(i) to (v) of this Section 8.01(c) shall be deemed to not materially adversely affect any of the Trustee’s rights and obligations and shall not require the consent of any of the Trustees or the holders of any Class of
Certificates. Each of the Liquidity Providers hereby agrees and confirms that it shall be deemed to consent to any issuance and amendment in accordance with this Section 8.01(c) (subject to the applicable Liquidity Provider’s consent right
in clause (y) to the proviso to Section 8.01(c)(iii)) and that any such issuance and amendment shall not affect any of its respective obligations under the applicable Liquidity Facility, provided that a condition to the issuance of
any Refinancing Certificates issued in respect of a Class of Certificates with a Liquidity Facility shall be the payment in full of all amounts owed to the Liquidity Provider under such Liquidity Facility and the termination of such Liquidity
Facility upon the issuance of such Refinancing Certificates. The Subordination Agent shall deliver to each Trustee and each Liquidity Provider (other than the Liquidity Provider of such terminated Liquidity Facility) a copy of the amendments made to
this Agreement and all opinions, certificates and other documents delivered in connection with the issuance of any Refinancing Certificates.

 (d) Pursuant to the terms of Section 2.02 of each applicable Indenture, one or more
additional series of Equipment Notes (the “Additional Equipment Notes”), which shall be subordinated in right of payment to the Series AA Equipment Notes, the Series A Equipment Notes, the Series B Equipment Notes and, if
applicable, one or more series of Additional Equipment Notes under such Indenture, may be issued at any time and from time to time with respect to any or all of the Aircraft. If any series of Additional Equipment Notes are issued under any
Indenture, each such series of Additional Equipment Notes shall be issued to a new pass through trust (an “Additional Trust”) that issues a class of pass through certificates (the “Additional Certificates”) to
certificateholders (each, an “Additional Certificateholder”) pursuant to a pass through trust agreement (an “Additional Trust Agreement”) with a trustee (an “Additional Trustee”). In such case, this
Agreement, including without limitation Sections 2.04, 3.01 and 3.02 hereof, shall be amended by written agreement of Delta and the Subordination Agent to provide for the subordination of such class of Additional Certificates to, and to provide for
distributions on the Additional Certificates after payment of, the Administration Expenses, the Liquidity Obligations, the Class AA Certificates, the Class A Certificates, the Class B Certificates and, if applicable, any other Additional
Certificates that rank senior, in priority of payment of “Expected Distributions” under this Agreement, to such Additional Certificates (subject to clause (iii) below). Such issuance, and the amendment of this Agreement as provided
below shall require Ratings Confirmation with respect to each Class of Certificates then rated by the Rating Agencies and shall not materially adversely affect any of the Trustees in their individual capacities or any of the Liquidity Providers.
This Agreement shall be amended by written agreement of Delta and the Subordination Agent to give effect to the issuance of any Additional Certificates subject to the following terms and conditions: 

(i) the Additional Trustee shall be added as a party to this Agreement; 

(ii) the definitions of “Certificate”, “Class”, “Equipment Notes”, “Final Legal Distribution
Date”, “Trust”, “Trust Agreement”, and “Controlling Party” (and such other applicable definitions) shall be revised, as appropriate, to reflect the issuance of the Additional Certificates (and the subordination
thereof); 
 (iii) Section 3.02 may be revised, with respect to any class of Additional Certificates, to provide for the
distribution of “Adjusted Interest” for such class of Additional Certificates (calculated in a manner substantially similar to the calculation of Class B Adjusted Interest) after the Class B Adjusted Interest (and, if applicable, after any
“Adjusted Interest” for any Additional Certificates that rank senior, in priority of payment of “Expected Distributions” under this Agreement, to such Additional Certificates) but before Expected Distributions on the Class AA
Certificates; 
 (iv) the Additional Certificates may have the benefit of credit support similar to the Liquidity Facilities
or different therefrom, provided that (A) claims for fees, interest, expenses, reimbursement of advances and other obligations arising from such credit support shall be subordinated, at least, to the Administration Expenses, the
Liquidity Obligations, the Class AA Certificates, the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates and (B) Ratings Confirmation with respect to each Class of Certificates then rated by the Rating Agencies shall have been obtained;

 (v) the Additional Certificates may be rated by the Rating Agencies; 

(vi) the Additional Certificates cannot be issued to Delta but may be issued to any of Delta’s Affiliates so long as such
Affiliate shall have bankruptcy remote and special purpose provisions in its certificate of incorporation or other organizational documents and any subsequent transfer of such Additional Certificates from such Affiliate to any other Affiliate of
Delta shall be similarly restricted; and

 (vii) the scheduled payment dates on such series of Additional Equipment Notes
shall fall on a Regular Distribution Date. 
 The issuance of the Additional Certificates in compliance with all of the foregoing terms in
clauses (i) to (vii) of this Section 8.01(d) shall be deemed to not materially adversely affect any of the Trustee’s rights and obligations and shall not require the consent of any of the Trustees or the holders of any Class of
Certificates. Each of the Liquidity Providers hereby agrees and confirms that it shall be deemed to consent to any issuance and amendment in accordance with this Section 8.01(d) and that any such issuance and amendment shall not affect any of
its respective obligations under the applicable Liquidity Facility. The Subordination Agent shall deliver to each Trustee and each Liquidity Provider a copy of the amendments made to this Agreement and all opinions, certificates and other documents
delivered in connection with the issuance of any Additional Certificates. 
 Section 8.02 Subordination Agent Protected. If, in
the reasonable opinion of the institution acting as the Subordination Agent hereunder, any document required to be executed by it pursuant to the terms of Section 8.01 adversely affects any right, duty, immunity or indemnity with respect to
such institution under this Agreement or any Liquidity Facility, the Subordination Agent may in its discretion decline to execute such document.

relying upon, an opinion of counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental agreement is authorized or permitted by this Agreement.

change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought and any other party or other Person whose consent is required pursuant to this Agreement and any waiver of the terms hereof shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose given. 
 Section 9.06 Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements contained herein shall bind and inure to the
benefit of, and be enforceable by, each of the parties hereto and the successors and permitted assigns of each, all as herein provided. In addition, the Delta Provisions shall inure to the benefit of Delta and its successors and permitted assigns,
and (without limitation of the foregoing) Delta is hereby constituted, and agreed to be, an express third party beneficiary of the Delta Provisions. 

Section 9.07 Headings. The headings of the various Articles and Sections herein and in the Table of Contents hereto are for
convenience of reference only and shall not define or limit any of the terms or provisions hereof. 
 Section 9.08 Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (and each party shall not be required to execute the same counterpart). Each counterpart of this Agreement including a signature page or pages executed by each of the parties hereto

 Section 9.09
Subordination. (a) As between the Liquidity Providers (and any additional liquidity providers in respect of any class of Refinancing Certificates or any Additional Certificates), on the one hand, and the Trustees (and any Refinancing
Trustees or any Additional Trustees) and the Certificateholders (and any Refinancing Certificateholders or any Additional Certificateholders), on the other hand, and as among the Trustees (and any Refinancing Trustees or any Additional Trustee) and
the related Certificateholders (and any Refinancing Certificateholders or any Additional Certificateholders) this Agreement shall be a subordination agreement for purposes of Section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code. 

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, if prior to the payment in full to the Liquidity Providers of all Liquidity Obligations
then due and payable any party hereto shall have received any payment or distribution in respect of Equipment Notes or any other amount under the Indentures or other Operative Agreements which, had the subordination provisions of this Agreement been
properly applied to such payment, distribution or other amount, would not have been distributed to such Person, then such payment, distribution or other amount shall be received and held in trust by such Person and paid over or delivered to the
Subordination Agent for application as provided herein. 
 (c) If any Trustee, any Liquidity Provider or the Subordination Agent receives

of such payment, such obligations or amounts (or, in the case of the Liquidity Providers, such Liquidity Obligations) intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and
effect as if such payment had not been received. 
 (d) The Trustees (on behalf of themselves and the holders of Certificates), the
Liquidity Providers and the Subordination Agent expressly confirm and agree that the payment priorities and subordination specified in Articles II and III shall apply in all circumstances, notwithstanding (x) the fact that the obligations
owed to the Trustees are secured by certain assets and the Liquidity Obligations may not be so secured or (y) the occurrence of a Delta Bankruptcy Event or any similar event or occurrence relating to any other Person (it being expressly agreed
that the payment priorities and subordination specified in Articles II and III shall apply whether or not a claim for post-petition or post-filing interest is allowed in the proceedings resulting from such Delta Bankruptcy Event or other event
or occurrence). The Trustees expressly agree (on behalf of themselves and the holders of Certificates) not to assert priority over the holders of Liquidity Obligations (except as specifically set forth in Section 3.02) due to their status as
secured creditors in any bankruptcy, insolvency or other legal proceeding. 
 (e) Each of the Trustees (on behalf of themselves and the
holders of Certificates), the Liquidity Providers and the Subordination Agent may take any of the following actions without impairing its rights under this Agreement:

Providers, any of the Liquidity Obligations, or release or compromise any obligation of any obligor with respect thereto; 

(iv) refrain from exercising any right or remedy, or delay in exercising any right or remedy, which it may have; or 

(v) take any other action which might discharge a subordinated party or a surety under applicable law; 

provided, however, that the taking of any such actions by any of the Trustees, the Liquidity Providers or the Subordination Agent shall not
prejudice the rights or adversely affect the obligations of any other party under this Agreement. 
 Section 9.10 Governing Law.
THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN DELIVERED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE.

permitted assigns and (ii) waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, that the suit, action or proceeding is

(b) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR
ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED, including, without limitation, contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty claims and all
other common law and statutory claims. Each of the parties warrants and represents that it has reviewed this waiver with its legal counsel, and that it knowingly and voluntarily waives its jury trial rights following consultation with such legal
counsel. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE AND CANNOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS
AGREEMENT. 
 (c) To the extent that any Liquidity Provider or any of its properties has or may hereafter acquire any right of immunity,
whether characterized as sovereign immunity or otherwise, and whether under the United States Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 (or any successor legislation) or otherwise, from any legal proceedings, whether in the United States or
elsewhere, to enforce or collect upon this Agreement, including, without limitation, immunity from suit or service of process, immunity from jurisdiction or judgment of any court or tribunal or execution of a judgment, or immunity of any of its
property from attachment prior to any entry of judgment, or from attachment in aid of execution upon a judgment, each of the Class AA Liquidity Provider, the Class A Liquidity Provider and the Class B Liquidity Provider, hereby irrevocably and
expressly waives any such immunity, and agrees not to assert any such right or claim in any such proceeding, whether in the United States or elsewhere. 

Section 9.12 Non-Petition. Each Liquidity Provider covenants that until one year and one day after the Equipment Notes have been
paid in full, it shall not acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause or join in invoking or causing any Trust or any other Person to invoke the process of any governmental authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case (whether
voluntary or not) against such Trust under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of such Trust or any substantial part of its property or
ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of such Trust. 
 Section 9.13 U.S.A. Patriot Act. The parties hereto
acknowledge that in accordance with Section 326 of the U.S.A. Patriot Act, the Subordination Agent, like all financial institutions, in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify and record
information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an account with the Subordination Agent. Each party to this Agreement agrees for itself that it will provide the Subordination Agent with such
information relating to such party as it may reasonably request in order for the Subordination Agent to satisfy the requirements of the U.S.A. Patriot Act.
