Documents or the Pass Through Documents or any interest in the Collateral or any similar
security (whether voluntary or involuntary) by or on behalf of such Indemnitee or its

as are expressly required or contemplated by the provisions of the Operative Documents or

result of any “prohibited transaction” within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code;




     (xii) any Claim to the extent such Claim is attributable to one or more of the other
aircraft financed through the offering of Pass Through Certificates (in the event of doubt,
any Claim shall be allocated between the Aircraft and such other aircraft in the same
proportion that the then outstanding Equipment Notes bear to the then outstanding equipment
notes issued with respect to the other aircraft and held by the Pass Through Trustees); and




     (xiii) any Claim to the extent such Claim is attributable to the offer or sale by an
Indemnitee (or any member of such Indemnitee’s Related Indemnitee Group) of any interest in
the Aircraft, the Equipment Notes, the Pass Through Certificates, or any similar interest,
in violation of the Securities Act or other applicable federal, state or foreign securities
laws (other than any thereof caused by acts or omissions of the Company of any of its
affiliates).



     (e) Insured Claims. In the case of any Claim indemnified by the Company hereunder
that is covered by a policy of insurance maintained by the Company, each Indemnitee agrees to
cooperate, at the Company’s expense, with the insurers in the exercise of their rights to
investigate, defend or compromise such Claim.



     (f) Claims Procedure. An Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Company of any Claim as
to which indemnification is sought; provided that the failure to provide such prompt notice
shall not release the Company from any of its obligations to indemnify hereunder, except to the
extent that the Company is prejudiced by such failure or the Company’s indemnification obligations
are increased as a result of such failure. Such Indemnitee shall promptly submit to the Company
all additional information in such Indemnitee’s possession to substantiate such request for payment
to the Company as the Company shall reasonably request. Subject to the rights of insurers under
policies of insurance maintained by the Company, the Company shall have the right, at its sole cost
and expense, to investigate, and the right in its sole discretion to defend or compromise, any
Claim for which indemnification is sought under this Section 4.02, and, at the Company’s expense,
the Indemnitee shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of the Company in connection therewith.
Such Indemnitee shall not enter into a settlement or other compromise with respect to any Claim
without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed, unless such Indemnitee waives its right to be indemnified with respect to such Claim
under this Section 4.02. Where the Company or the insurers under a policy of insurance maintained
by the Company undertake the defense of an Indemnitee with respect to a Claim, no additional legal
fees or expenses of such Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such Claim shall be
indemnified hereunder unless such fees or expenses were incurred at

[Reg. No.]

the written request of the Company or such insurers. Subject to the requirements of any
policy of insurance, an Indemnitee may participate at its own expense in any judicial proceeding
controlled by the Company pursuant to the preceding provisions; provided that such party’s
participation does not, in the opinion of the counsel appointed by the Company or its insurers to
conduct such proceedings, interfere with such control; and such participation shall not constitute
a waiver of the indemnification provided in this Section 4.02. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, the Company shall not under any circumstances be liable for the fees and
expenses of more than one counsel for all Indemnitees.




     (g) Subrogation. To the extent that a Claim indemnified by the Company under this
Section 4.02 is in fact paid in full by the Company or an insurer under a policy of insurance
maintained by the Company, the Company or such insurer, as the case may be, shall, without any
further action, be subrogated to the rights and remedies of the Indemnitee on whose behalf such
Claim was paid with respect to the transaction or event giving rise to such Claim. Such Indemnitee
shall give such further assurances or agreements and shall cooperate with the Company or such
insurer, as the case may be, to permit the Company or such insurer to pursue such rights and
remedies, if any, to the extent reasonably requested by the Company. So long as no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if an Indemnitee receives any payment from any party
other than the Company or its insurers, in whole or in part, with respect to any Claim paid by the
Company or its insurers hereunder, it shall promptly pay over to the Company the amount received
(but not an amount in excess of the amount the Company or any of its insurers has paid in respect
of such Claim). Any amount referred to in the preceding sentence that is payable to the Company
shall not be paid to the Company, or, if it has been previously paid directly to the Company, shall
not be retained by the Company, if at the time of such payment an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, but shall be paid to and held by the Loan Trustee as security for the
obligations of the Company under this Agreement, the Indenture and the other Operative Documents,
and, if the Company agrees, shall be applied against the Company’s obligations hereunder and
thereunder when and as they become due and payable and, at such time as there shall not be
continuing any such Event of Default, such amount, to the extent not previously so applied against
the Company’s obligations, shall be paid to the Company.



     (h) No Guaranty. Nothing set forth in this Section 4.02 shall constitute a guarantee
by the Company that the Aircraft shall at any time have any particular value, useful life or
residual value.



     (i) Payments; Interest. Any amount payable to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Section
4.02 shall be paid within 30 days after receipt by the Company of a written demand therefor from
such Indemnitee accompanied by a written statement describing in reasonable detail the Claims that
are the subject of and basis for such indemnity and the computation of the amount payable. Any
payments made pursuant to this Section 4.02

directly to an Indemnitee or to the Company, as the case may be, shall be made in immediately
available funds at such bank or to such account as is specified by the payee in written directions
to the payor or, if no such directions shall have been given, by check of the payor payable to the
order of the payee and mailed to the payee by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage
prepaid to its address referred to in Section 7.01. To the extent permitted by applicable law,
interest at the Past Due Rate shall be paid, on demand, on any amount or indemnity not paid when
due pursuant to this Section 4.02 until the same shall be paid. Such interest shall be paid in the
same manner as the unpaid amount in respect of which such interest is due.

expenses relating thereto. The Company shall be responsible for the Applicable Portion of any
interest or penalties related to any Pass Through Trustee’s failure to file any such tax returns
required to be filed by the relevant Pass Through Trust, except to the extent that such failure is
attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Pass Through Trustee. For
purposes of this Section 6.01(f), the “Applicable Portion” of any amount shall equal such
amount multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of the then outstanding
aggregate principal amount of the Equipment Notes held by the relevant Pass Through Trustee, and
the denominator of which shall be the sum of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of all
“Equipment Notes” issued under each of the “Indentures” (in each case as defined in the
Intercreditor Agreement) held by such Pass Through Trustee.



     Section 6.02. Certain Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees with
the Loan Trustee as follows:




     (a) Further Assurances. On and after the Closing, the Company will cause to
be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered such further acts, conveyances and assurances
as the Loan Trustee shall reasonably request for accomplishing the purposes of this
Agreement and the other Operative Documents; provided that any instrument or other
document so executed by the Company will not expand any obligations or limit any rights of
the Company in respect of the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents.




     (b) Filing and Recordation of the Indenture; Registration of International
Interests. The Company, at its own expense, will cause the Indenture (with the
Indenture Supplement covering the Aircraft attached) to be promptly filed and recorded, or
filed for recording, with the FAA to the extent permitted under the Transportation Code and
the rules and regulations of the FAA thereunder. In addition, on or prior to the Closing
Date, the Company will cause the registration of the International Interests (or
Prospective International Interests) created under the Indenture (as supplemented by the
Indenture Supplement with respect to the Aircraft) to be effected on the International
Registry in accordance with the Cape Town Treaty, and shall, as and to the extent
applicable, consent to such registration upon the issuance of a request for such consent by
the International Registry.

     (c) Maintenance of Filings. The Company, at its expense, will take, or cause
to be taken, such action with respect to the due and timely recording, filing, re-recording
and refiling of the Indenture and any financing statements and any continuation statements
or other instruments as are necessary to maintain, so long as the Indenture is in effect,
the perfection of the security interests created by the Indenture or will furnish the Loan
Trustee timely notice of the necessity of such action, together with such instruments, in
execution form, and such other information as may be required to enable the Loan Trustee to
take such action. In addition, the Company will pay any and all recording, stamp and other
similar taxes payable in the United States, and in any other jurisdiction where the
Aircraft is registered, in connection with the execution, delivery, recording, filing,
re-recording and refiling of the Indenture or any such financing statements or other
instruments. The Company will notify the Loan Trustee of any change in its jurisdiction of
organization (as such term is used in Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect
in the State of Delaware) promptly after making such change or in any event within the
period of time necessary under applicable law to prevent the lapse of perfection (absent
refiling) of financing statements filed under the Operative Documents.




     (d) Maintenance of Corporate Existence. The Company shall at all times
maintain its corporate existence except as permitted by Section 6.02(e).




     (e) Merger; Consolidation; Transfer of Substantially All Assets. The Company
shall not consolidate with or merge into any other Person or convey, transfer or lease
substantially all of its assets as an entirety to any Person, unless:




     (i) the Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is
merged or the Person that acquires by conveyance, transfer or lease substantially
all of the assets of the Company as an entirety shall, if and to the extent
required under Section 1110 in order that the Loan Trustee shall continue to be
entitled to any benefits of Section 1110 with respect to the Aircraft, be a Citizen
of the United States and a Certificated Air Carrier and shall execute and deliver
to the Loan Trustee an agreement containing the express assumption by such
successor Person of the due and punctual performance and observance of each
covenant and condition of the Operative Documents to which the Company is a party
to be performed or observed by the Company;




     (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing; and




     (iii) the Company shall have delivered to the Loan Trustee and each Liquidity
Provider a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of

[Reg. No.]



23









 







the Company, and an opinion of counsel (which may be the Company’s General
Counsel or such other internal counsel to the Company as shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Loan Trustee and such Liquidity Provider), each stating that
such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease and the assumption
agreement mentioned in clause (i) above comply with this Section 6.02(e) and that
all conditions precedent herein provided relating to such transaction have been
complied with (except that such opinion need not cover the matters referred to in
clause (ii) above and may rely, as to factual matters, on a certificate of an
officer of the Company) and, in the case of such opinion, that such assumption
agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such successor Person
and is enforceable against such successor Person in accordance with its terms,
except as the same may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and by
general principles of equity.



     Upon any consolidation or merger, or any conveyance, transfer or lease of substantially all of
the assets of the Company as an entirety in accordance with this Section 6.02(e), the successor
Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which such
conveyance, transfer or lease is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise
every right and power of, the Company under this Agreement and the other Operative Documents with
the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Company herein. If the Aircraft
is at the time registered with the FAA, at the time of, or promptly following, any such
consolidation or merger, such Person will make such filings and recordings with the FAA pursuant to
the Transportation Code and registration under the Cape Town Treaty as shall be necessary to
evidence such consolidation or merger. If the Aircraft is at the time not registered with the FAA,
at the time of, or promptly following, any such consolidation or merger, such Person will make such
filings and recordings with the applicable aviation authority as shall be necessary to evidence
such consolidation or merger, and if the Person formed by such consolidation or into which the
Company is merged is located in a “Contracting State” (as such term is used in the Cape Town
Treaty), at the time of, or promptly following, any such consolidation or merger, such Person will
also make such registration under the Cape Town Treaty as shall be necessary to evidence such
consolidation or merger.




     (f) Section 1110. The Company shall, for as long as and to the extent
required under Section 1110 in order that the Loan Trustee shall be entitled to any of the
benefits of Section 1110 with respect to the Aircraft, remain a Certificated Air Carrier.




     (g) Additional Information. Promptly after the occurrence of a Triggering
Event or an Indenture Event of Default resulting from the failure of the

[Reg. No.]

Company to make payments on any Equipment Note and on every Regular Distribution Date
while the Triggering Event or such Indenture Event of Default shall be continuing, the
Company will, at the Subordination Agent’s request from time to time but in any event no
more frequently than once every three months, provide to the Subordination Agent a
statement setting forth the following information with respect to the Aircraft if then
subject to the lien of the Indenture: (A) whether the Aircraft is currently in
service or parked in storage, (B) the maintenance status of the Aircraft, and
(C) the location of the Engines. As used in this Section 6.02(g), the terms
“Triggering Event”, “Indenture Event of Default” and “Regular Distribution Date” shall have
the respective meanings set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement.
