    Section
      1.03. Initial
      Escrow Amount; Issuance of Escrow Receipts.
      The
      Escrow Agent hereby directs the Underwriters to, and the Underwriters hereby
      acknowledge that on the date hereof they shall, irrevocably deliver to the
      Depositary on behalf of the Escrow Agent, an amount in U.S. dollars
      (“Dollars”)
      and
      immediately available funds equal to $756,762,000 for deposit on behalf of
      the
      Escrow Agent with the Depositary in accordance with Section 2.1 of the Deposit
      Agreement. The Underwriters hereby instruct the Escrow Agent, upon receipt
      of
      such sum from the Underwriters, to confirm such receipt by executing and
      delivering to the Pass Through Trustee an Escrow Receipt in the form of Exhibit
      A hereto (an “Escrow
      Receipt”),
      (a)
      to be affixed by the Pass Through Trustee to each Certificate and (b) to
      evidence the same percentage interest (the “Escrow
      Interest”)
      in the
      Account Amounts (as defined below) as the Fractional Undivided Interest in
      the
      Pass Through Trust evidenced by the Certificate to which it is to be affixed.
      The Escrow Agent shall provide to the Pass Through Trustee for attachment to
      each Certificate newly issued under and in accordance with the Pass Through
      Trust Agreement an executed Escrow Receipt as the Pass Through Trustee may
      from
      time to time request of the Escrow Agent. Each Escrow Receipt shall be
      registered by the Escrow Agent in a register (the “Register”)
      maintained by the Escrow Agent in the name of the same holder that is the holder
      of the Certificate to which it is attached and may not thereafter be detached
      from such Certificate to which it is to be affixed prior to the distribution
      of
      the Final Withdrawal (the “Final
      Distribution”).
      After
      the Final Distribution, no additional Escrow Receipts shall be issued and the
      Pass Through Trustee shall request the return to the Escrow Agent for
      cancellation of all outstanding Escrow Receipts.

     

    Section
      1.04. Payments
      to Receiptholders.
      All
      payments and distributions made to holders of an Escrow Receipt (collectively
      “Receiptholders”)
      in
      respect of the Escrow Receipt shall be made only from amounts deposited in
      the
      Paying Agent Account (as defined below) (“Account
      Amounts”).
      Each
      Receiptholder, by its acceptance of an Escrow Receipt, agrees that (a) it will
      look solely to the Account Amounts for any payment or distribution due to such
      Receiptholder pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Receipt and this Agreement
      (subject to Section 15 hereof) and (b) it will have no recourse to Continental,
      the Pass Through Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Escrow Agent, except as
      expressly provided herein or in the Pass Through Trust Agreement. No
      Receiptholder shall have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control
      the operation and management of the Paying Agent Account or the obligations
      of

    parties
      hereto, nor shall anything set forth herein, or contained in the terms of the
      Escrow Receipt, be construed so as to constitute the Receiptholders from time
      to
      time as partners or members of an association. 

     

    Section
      1.05. Mutilated,
      Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Escrow Receipt.
      If (a)
      any mutilated Escrow Receipt is surrendered to the Escrow Agent or the Escrow
      Agent receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft
      of
      any Escrow Receipt and (b) there is delivered to the Escrow Agent and the
      Pass Through Trustee such security, indemnity or bond, as may be required by
      them to hold each of them harmless, then, absent notice to the Escrow Agent
      or
      the Pass Through Trustee that such destroyed, lost or stolen Escrow Receipt
      has
      been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, and provided that the requirements
      of
      Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any applicable
      jurisdiction are met, the Escrow Agent shall execute, authenticate and deliver,
      in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
      Escrow Receipt, a new Escrow Receipt or Escrow Receipts and of like Escrow
      Interest in the Account Amounts and bearing a number not contemporaneously
      outstanding.

     

    In
      connection with the issuance of any new Escrow Receipt under this Section 1.05,
      the Escrow Agent may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
      or
      other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
      expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Pass Through Trustee and the
      Escrow Agent) connected therewith.

     

    Any
      duplicate Escrow Receipt issued pursuant to this Section 1.05 shall constitute
      conclusive evidence of the appropriate Escrow Interest in the Account Amounts,
      as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Escrow
      Receipt shall be found at any time.

     

    The
      provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent
      lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment
      of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Escrow Receipts.

     

    Section
      1.06. Additional
      Escrow Amounts.
      On the
      date of any Purchase Withdrawal, the Pass Through Trustee may re-deposit with
      the Depositary some or all of the amounts so withdrawn in accordance with
      Section 2.5 of the Deposit Agreement. 

     

    Section
      1.07. Resignation
      or Removal of Escrow Agent.
      Subject
      to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Escrow Agent as provided below,
      the Escrow Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days' prior written notice
      thereof to the Investors, but may not otherwise be removed except for cause
      by
      the written consent of the Investors with respect to Investors representing
      Escrow Interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest in the Account
      Amounts (an “Action
      of Investors”).
      Upon
      any such resignation or removal, the Investors, by an Action of Investors,
      shall
      have the right to appoint a successor Escrow Agent. If no successor Escrow
      Agent
      shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within
      30
      days after the retiring Escrow Agent's giving of notice of resignation or the
      removal of the retiring Escrow Agent, then the retiring Escrow Agent may appoint
      a successor Escrow Agent. Any successor Escrow Agent shall be a bank which
      has
      an office in the United States with a combined capital and surplus of at least
      $100,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Escrow Agent hereunder
      by a successor Escrow Agent, such successor Escrow Agent shall enter into such
      documents as the Pass Through Trustee shall

      and shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
      privileges and duties of the retiring Escrow Agent, and the retiring Escrow
      Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. No
      resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent shall be effective unless a written
      confirmation shall have been obtained from each of Moody's Investors Service,
      Inc. and Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill
      Companies, Inc., that the replacement of the Escrow Agent with the successor
      Escrow Agent will not result in (a) a reduction of the rating for the
      Certificates below the then current rating for the Certificates or (b) a
      withdrawal or suspension of the rating of the Certificates.

     

    Section
      1.08. Persons
      Deemed Owners.
      Prior to
      due presentment of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Escrow Agent
      and the Paying Agent may treat the Person in whose name any Escrow Receipt
      is
      registered (as of the day of determination) as the owner of such Escrow Receipt
      for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to this Agreement and for
      all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Escrow Agent nor the Paying
      Agent
      shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

     

    Section
      1.09. Further
      Assurances.
      The
      Escrow Agent agrees to take such actions, and execute such other documents,
      as
      may be reasonably requested by the Pass Through Trustee in order to effectuate
      the purposes of this Agreement and the performance by the Escrow Agent of its
      obligations hereunder.

      Escrow Agent hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Paying Agent to
      act
      as its paying agent hereunder, for the benefit of the Investors, for such
      specific purposes and with such powers as are specifically delegated to the
      Paying Agent by the terms of this Agreement, together with such other powers
      as
      are reasonably incidental thereto. Any and all money received and held by the
      Paying Agent under this Agreement or the Deposit Agreement shall be held in
      the
      Paying Agent Account for the benefit of the Investors. The Paying Agent (which
      term as used in this sentence shall include reference to its affiliates and
      its
      own and its affiliates' officers, directors, employees and agents): (a) shall
      have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this
      Agreement, and shall not by reason of this Agreement be a trustee for the Escrow
      Agent; (b) shall not be responsible to the Escrow Agent for any recitals,
      statements, representations or warranties of any person other then itself
      contained in this Agreement or for the failure by the Escrow Agent or any other
      person or entity (other than the Paying Agent) to perform any of its obligations
      hereunder (whether or not the Paying Agent shall have any knowledge thereof);
      and (c) shall not be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken
      by
      it hereunder or provided for herein or in connection herewith, except for its
      own willful misconduct or gross negligence (or simple negligence in connection
      with the handling of funds).

      Agent Account”)
      at
      Wilmington Trust Company in the name of the Escrow Agent. It is expressly
      understood by the parties hereto that the Paying Agent is acting as the paying

      from Paying Agent Account.
      The
      Escrow Agent hereby irrevocably instructs the Paying Agent, and the Paying
      Agent
      agrees to act, as follows: 

     

    (a) On
      each
      Interest Payment Date (as defined in the Deposit Agreement) or as soon
      thereafter as the Paying Agent has confirmed receipt in the Paying Agent Account
      from the Depositary of any amount in respect of accrued interest on the
      Deposits, the Paying Agent shall distribute out of the Paying Agent Account
      the
      entire amount deposited therein by the Depositary. There shall be so distributed
      to each Receiptholder of record on the 15th day (whether or not a Business
      Day)
      preceding such Interest Payment Date by check mailed to such Receiptholder,
      at
      the address appearing in the Register, such Receiptholder's pro rata share
      (based on the Escrow Interest in the Account Amounts held by such Receiptholder)
      of the total amount of interest deposited by the Depositary in the Paying Agent
      Account on such date, except that, with respect to Escrow Receipts registered
      on
      the Record Date in the name of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”),
      such
      distribution shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds
      to
      the account designated by DTC. 

     

    (b) Upon
      the
      confirmation by the Paying Agent of receipt in the Paying Agent Account from
      the
      Depositary of any amount in respect of the Final Withdrawal, the Paying Agent
      shall forthwith distribute the entire amount of the Final Withdrawal deposited
      therein by the Depositary. There shall be so distributed to each Receiptholder
      of record on the 15th day (whether or not a Business Day) preceding the Final
      Withdrawal Date by check mailed to such Receiptholder, at the address appearing
      in the Register, such Receiptholder's pro rata share (based on the Escrow
      Interest in the Account Amounts held by such Receiptholder) of the total amount
      in the Paying Agent Account on account of such Final Withdrawal, except that,
      with respect to Escrow Receipts registered on the Record Date in the name of
      DTC, such distribution shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available
      funds to the account designated by DTC.

     

    (c) If
      any
      payment of interest or principal in respect of the Final Withdrawal is not
      received by the Paying Agent within five days of the applicable date when due,
      then it shall be distributed to Receiptholders after actual receipt by the
      Paying Agent on the same basis as a Special Payment is distributed under the
      Pass Through Trust Agreement.

     

    (d) The
      Paying Agent shall include with any check mailed pursuant to this Section any
      notice required to be distributed under the Pass Through Trust Agreement that
      is
      furnished to the Paying Agent by the Pass Through Trustee.

    Section
      2.04. Withholding
      Taxes.
      The
      Paying Agent shall exclude and withhold from each distribution of accrued
      interest on the Deposits (as defined in the Deposit Agreement) and any amount
      in
      respect of the Final Withdrawal any and all withholding taxes applicable thereto
      as required by law. The Paying Agent agrees to act as such withholding agent
      and, in connection therewith, whenever any present or future taxes or similar
      charges are required to be withheld with respect to any amounts payable in
      respect of the Deposits (as defined in the Deposit Agreement) or the escrow

      promptly as possible after the payment thereof, it will deliver to each such
      Receiptholder appropriate documentation showing the payment thereof, together
      with such additional documentary evidence as such Receiptholder may reasonably
      request from time to time. The Paying Agent agrees to file any other information
      reports as it may be required to file under United States law.

      the Paying Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days' prior written notice
      thereof to the Escrow Agent, but may not otherwise be removed except for cause
      by the Escrow Agent. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Escrow Agent

      Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment
      within 30 days after the retiring Paying Agent's giving of notice of resignation
      or the removal of the retiring Paying Agent, then the retiring Paying Agent

      succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties
      of the retiring Paying Agent, and the retiring Paying Agent shall be discharged
      from its duties and obligations hereunder. 

     

    Section
      2.06. Notice
      of Final Withdrawal.
      Promptly
      after receipt by the Paying Agent of notice that the Escrow Agent has requested
      a Final Withdrawal or that a Final Withdrawal will be made, the Paying Agent

    SECTION
      3. Payments.
      If,
      notwithstanding the instructions in Section 4 of the Deposit Agreement that
      all
      amounts payable to the Escrow Agent under the Deposit Agreement be paid by
      the
      Depositary directly to the Paying Agent, the Pass Through Trustee or a
      Replacement Depositary (depending on the circumstances), the Escrow Agent
      receives any payment thereunder, then the Escrow Agent shall forthwith pay
      such
      amount in Dollars and in immediately available funds by wire transfer to (a)
      in
      the case of a payment of accrued interest on the Deposits (as defined in the

      set-off, combination of accounts, right of retention or similar right (whether
      arising under applicable law, contract or otherwise) it may have against amounts
      payable to the Paying Agent howsoever arising.

      4. Other
      Actions.

      The
      Escrow Agent represents and warrants to Continental, the Investors, the Paying

      standing under the laws of the United States of America;

     

    (ii) it

      as
      currently conducted and to enter into and perform its obligations under this

      necessary corporate action on the part of it and do not require any stockholder
      approval, or approval or consent of any trustee or holder of any indebtedness
      or
      obligations of it, and each such document (other than a Replacement Deposit

      “Pass
      Through Trustee”)
      and
      Wilmington Trust Company, as paying agent (in such capacity, together with
      its
      successors in such capacity, the “Paying
      Agent”).
      Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them
      in
      the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement.

     

    This
      Escrow Receipt is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and
      conditions of the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement. By virtue of its acceptance
      hereof the holder of this Escrow Receipt assents and agrees to be bound by
      the
      provisions of the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement and this Escrow
      Receipt.

     

    This
      Escrow Receipt represents a fractional undivided interest in amounts deposited
      from time to time in the Paying Agent Account, and grants or represents no
      rights, benefits or interests of any kind in respect of any assets or property
      other than such amounts. This Escrow Receipt evidences the same percentage
      interest in the Account Amounts as the Fractional Undivided Interest in the
      Pass
      Through Trust evidenced by the Certificate to which this Escrow Receipt is
      affixed.

     

    All
      payments and distributions made to Receiptholders in respect of the Escrow
      Receipt shall be made only from Account Amounts deposited in the Paying Agent
      Account. The holder of this Escrow Receipt, by its acceptance of this Escrow
      Receipt, agrees that it will look solely to the Account Amounts for any payment
      or distribution due to it pursuant to this Escrow Receipt (or, in case the
      Depositary shall default in its obligation to make a payment under the Deposit
      Agreement that would be an Account Amount, to the Depositary) and that it will
      not have any recourse to Continental, the Pass Through Trustee, the Paying
      Agent
      or the Escrow Agent, except as expressly provided herein or in the Pass Through
      Trust Agreement. No Receiptholder of this Escrow Receipt shall have any right
      to
      vote or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the
      Paying Agent Account, nor shall anything set forth herein, or contained in
      the
      terms of this Escrow Receipt, be construed so as to constitute the
      Receiptholders from time to time as partners or members of an association.
      

     

    This
      Escrow Receipt may not be assigned or transferred except in connection with
      the
      assignment or transfer of the Certificate to which this Escrow Receipt is
      affixed. After

      to the holder hereof of its Escrow Interest in the Final Distribution, upon
      the
      request of the Pass Through Trustee, the holder hereof will return this Escrow
      Receipt to the Pass Through Trustee.

    The
      Paying Agent may treat the person in whose name the Certificate to which this
      Escrow Receipt is attached as the owner hereof for all purposes, and the Paying
      Agent shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

      ESCROW RECEIPT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS
      OF
