Distribution Date with respect to any Special Payment or as soon thereafter as the Trustee has
confirmed receipt of any Special Payments due on the Equipment Notes held (subject to the
Intercreditor Agreement) in the Applicable Trust or realized upon the sale of such Equipment Notes,
the Trustee shall distribute out of the Special Payments Account the entire amount of such Special
Payment deposited therein pursuant to Section 3.02(a) of this Trust Supplement. There shall be so
distributed to each Applicable Certificateholder of record on the Record Date with respect to such
Special Distribution Date (other than as provided in Section 7.01 of this Trust Supplement
concerning the final distribution) by check mailed to such Applicable Certificateholder, at the address appearing in the Register, such Applicable
Certificateholder’s pro rata share (based on the Fractional Undivided Interest in the Applicable
Trust held by such Applicable Certificateholder) of the total amount in the Special Payments
Account on account of











 



9



such Special Payment, except that, with respect to Applicable Certificates
registered on the Record Date in the name of a Clearing Agency (or its nominee), such distribution
shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such
Clearing Agency (or such nominee).




          (b) The Trustee shall, at the expense of the Company, cause notice of each Special Payment to
be mailed to each Applicable Certificateholder at his address as it appears in the Register. In
the event of redemption or purchase of Equipment Notes held in the Applicable Trust, such notice
shall be mailed not less than 15 days prior to the Special Distribution Date for the Special
Payment resulting from such redemption or purchase, which Special Distribution Date shall be the
date of such redemption or purchase. In the case of any other Special Payments, such notice shall
be mailed as soon as practicable after the Trustee has confirmed that it has received funds for
such Special Payment, stating the Special Distribution Date for such Special Payment which shall
occur not less than 15 days after the date of such notice and as soon as practicable thereafter.
Notices mailed by the Trustee shall set forth:





     (i) the Special Distribution Date and the Record Date therefor (except as otherwise
provided in Section 7.01 of this Trust Supplement),




     (ii) the amount of the Special Payment for each $1,000 face amount Applicable
Certificate and the amount thereof constituting principal, premium, if any, and interest,

     (iv) if the Special Distribution Date is the same date as a Regular Distribution Date,
the total amount to be received on such date for each $1,000 face amount Applicable
Certificate.


If the amount of premium, if any, payable upon the redemption or purchase of an Equipment Note has
not been calculated at the time that the Trustee mails notice of a Special Payment, it shall be
sufficient if the notice sets forth the other amounts to be distributed and states that any premium
received will also be distributed.




          If any redemption of the Equipment Notes held in the Trust is canceled, the Trustee, as soon
as possible after learning thereof, shall cause notice thereof to be mailed to each Applicable
Certificateholder at its address as it appears on the Register.




          (b) This Section 3.03 supersedes and replaces Section 4.02(b) and Section 4.02(c) of the
Basic Agreement in their entirety, with respect to the Applicable Trust.

and adding in lieu thereof “the Liquidity Provider”.

shall have the right to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Applicable Certificates
upon 15 days’ written notice to the Trustee and each other Class B Certificateholder, on the
third Business Day next following the expiry of such 15-day notice period, provided
that (A) if prior to the end of such 15-day period any other Class B Certificateholder
(other than the Company or any of its Affiliates) notifies such purchasing Class B

purchase, then such other Class B Certificateholder (other than the Company or any of its
Affiliates) may join with the purchasing Class B Certificateholder to purchase all, but not
less than all, of the Applicable Certificates pro rata based on the Fractional Undivided
Interest in the Class B Trust held by each such Class B Certificateholder and (B) if prior
to the end of such 15-day period any other Class B Certificateholder fails to notify the

participate in such a purchase, then such other Class B Certificateholder shall lose its
right to purchase the Applicable Certificates pursuant to this Section 4.01(a)(i);




     (ii) if any Additional Certificates are issued pursuant to one or more Additional
Trusts, each Additional Certificateholder (other than the Company or any of its Affiliates),

to the terms of the Agreement and the Other Agreements, (A) in the case of any purchase of the
Applicable Certificates pursuant to clause (i) above, all of the Applicable Certificates or (B) in

Additional Certificates that are senior to the securities held by such purchaser(s). Each payment
of the purchase price of the Applicable Certificates referred to in the first sentence hereof shall
be made to an account or accounts designated by the Trustee and each such purchase shall be subject
to the terms of this Section 4.01. Each Applicable Certificateholder agrees by its acceptance of
its Applicable Certificate that (at any time after the occurrence of a Certificate Buyout Event) it
will, upon payment from such Class B Certificateholder(s), Additional Certificateholder(s) or
Refinancing Certificateholders, as the case may be, of the purchase price set forth in the first
sentence of this paragraph, (i) forthwith sell, assign, transfer and convey to the purchaser(s)
thereof (without recourse, representation or warranty of any kind except for its own acts), all of
the right, title, interest and obligation of such Applicable Certificateholder in the Agreement,
the Intercreditor Agreement, the Liquidity Facility, the Note Documents and all Applicable
Certificates held by such Applicable Certificateholder (excluding all right, title and interest
under any of the foregoing to the extent such right, title or interest is with respect to an
obligation not then due and payable as respects any action or inaction or state of affairs
occurring prior to such sale) (and the purchaser shall assume all of such Applicable
Certificateholder’s obligations under the Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Liquidity
Facility, the Note Documents and all such Applicable Certificates), and (ii) if such purchase
occurs after a Record Date relating to any distribution and prior to or on the related Distribution
Date, forthwith turn over to the purchaser(s) of its Applicable Certificate all amounts, if any,
received by it on
account of such distribution. The Applicable Certificates will be deemed to be purchased on
the date payment of the purchase price is made notwithstanding the failure of the Applicable
Certificateholders to deliver any Applicable Certificates and, upon such a purchase, (I) the only
rights of the Applicable Certificateholders will be to deliver the Applicable Certificates to the
purchaser(s) and receive the purchase price for such Applicable Certificates and (II) if the








 



12



purchaser(s) shall so request, such Applicable Certificateholder will comply with all the
provisions of Section 3.04 of the Basic Agreement to enable new Applicable Certificates to be
issued to the purchaser in such denominations as it shall request. All charges and expenses in
connection with the issuance of any such new Applicable Certificates shall be borne by the
purchaser thereof.




          As used in this Section 4.01 and elsewhere in this Trust Supplement, the terms “Additional

Certificateholder”, “Class B Trust”, “Class B Trust Agreement”, “Class B Trustee”, “Refinancing
Certificates”, “Refinancing Certificateholder”, “Refinancing Equipment Notes” and “Refinancing

          (b) This Section 4.01 supersedes and replaces Section 6.01(b) of the Basic Agreement, with
respect to the Applicable Trust.




          Section 4.02. Amendment of Section 6.05 of the Basic Agreement. Section 6.05 of the

ARTICLE V

THE TRUSTEE




          Section 5.01. Delivery of Documents; Delivery Dates. (a) The Trustee is hereby
directed (i) to execute and deliver the Intercreditor Agreement, each Participation Agreement and
each Indenture on or prior to the Issuance Date, each in the form delivered to the Trustee by the
Company, and (ii) subject to the respective terms thereof, to perform its obligations thereunder.
Upon request of the Company and the satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions specified in
the Underwriting Agreement, the Trustee shall execute, deliver, authenticate, issue and sell
Applicable Certificates in authorized denominations equaling in the aggregate the amount set forth,
with respect to the Applicable Trust, in Schedule I to the Underwriting Agreement evidencing the
entire ownership interest in the Applicable Trust, which amount equals the maximum aggregate
principal amount of Equipment Notes which may be purchased by the Trustee pursuant to the
Participation Agreements. Except as provided in Sections 3.03, 3.04, 3.05 and 3.06 of the Basic
Agreement, the Trustee shall not execute, authenticate or deliver Applicable Certificates in excess
of the aggregate amount specified in this
paragraph. The provisions of this Section 5.01(a) supersede and replace the first sentence of
Section 3.02(a) of the Basic Agreement, with respect to the Applicable Trust.




          (b) On the Issuance Date, the Trustee shall, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4
of each Participation Agreement, perform its obligations under the Participation Agreement (the
“Applicable Participation Agreement”) and cause such certificates, documents and legal
opinions relating to the Trustee to be duly delivered as required by the Applicable










 



13



Participation
Agreement. Upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Applicable Participation
Agreement, the Trustee shall purchase the applicable Equipment Notes using a portion of the
proceeds of the sale of the Applicable Certificates. The purchase price of such Equipment Notes
shall equal the principal amount of such Equipment Notes.




          (c) The Trustee acknowledges its acceptance of all right, title and interest in and to the
Trust Property to be acquired pursuant to Section 5.01(b) of this Trust Supplement and each
Applicable Participation Agreement, and declares that it holds and will hold such right, title and
interest for the benefit of all present and future Applicable Certificateholders, upon the trusts
set forth in the Agreement. By its acceptance of an Applicable Certificate, each initial
Applicable Certificateholder, as a grantor of the Applicable Trust, joins with the Trustee in the
creation of the Applicable Trust. The provisions of this Section 5.01(c) supersede and replace the
provisions of Section 2.03 of the Basic Agreement, with respect to the Applicable Trust.




          Section 5.02. [Intentionally Omitted]




          Section 5.03. The Trustee. (a) Subject to Section 5.04 of this Trust Supplement and

Agreements or the due execution hereof or thereof by the Company or the other parties thereto
(other than the Trustee), or for or in respect of the recitals and statements contained herein or
therein, all of which recitals and statements are made solely by the Company, except that the

Default in respect of the Applicable Trust created hereby, no duties, responsibilities or
liabilities are assumed, or shall be construed to be assumed, by the Trustee by reason of this
Trust Supplement other than as set forth in the Agreement, and this Trust Supplement is executed
and accepted on behalf of the Trustee, subject to all the terms and conditions set forth in the
Agreement, as fully to all intents as if the same were herein set forth at length.




          Section 5.04. Representations and Warranties of the Trustee. The Trustee hereby
represents and warrants that:

perform this Trust Supplement, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Note Documents to which
it is a party and has taken all necessary action to authorize such execution, delivery and
performance by it of this Trust Supplement, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Note
Documents to which it is a party;









 



14



     (b) the execution, delivery and performance by the Trustee of this Trust Supplement,
the Intercreditor Agreement and the Note Documents to which it is a party (i) will not

applicable to the Trustee or any of its assets, (ii) will not violate any provision of the
articles of association or by-laws of the Trustee, and (iii) will not violate any provision
of, or constitute, with or without notice or lapse of time, a default under, or result in
the creation or imposition of any lien on any properties included in the Trust Property
pursuant to the provisions of any mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement or other
undertaking to which it is a party, which violation, default or lien could reasonably be
expected to have an adverse effect on the Trustee’s performance or ability to perform its
duties hereunder or thereunder or on the transactions contemplated herein or therein;




     (c) the execution, delivery and performance by the Trustee of this Trust Supplement,
the Intercreditor Agreement and the Note Documents to which it is a party will not require
the authorization, consent, or approval of, the giving of notice to, the filing or
registration with, or the taking of any other action in respect of, any governmental
authority or agency of the United States or the state of the United States where it is
located regulating the banking and corporate trust activities of the Trustee; and




     (d) this Trust Supplement, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Note Documents to which
it is a party have been, or will be, as applicable, duly executed and delivered by the
Trustee and constitute, or will constitute, as applicable, the legal, valid and binding
agreements of the Trustee, enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms;
provided, however, that enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the rights of
creditors generally and (ii) general principles of equity.



          Section 5.05. Trustee Liens. The Trustee in its individual capacity agrees, in
addition to the agreements contained in Section 7.17 of the Basic Agreement, that it will at its
own cost and expense promptly take any action as may be necessary to duly discharge and satisfy in
full any Trustee’s Liens on or with respect to the Trust Property which is attributable to the
Trustee in its individual capacity and which is
unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Intercreditor Agreement or the Participation
Agreements.

ARTICLE VII

TERMINATION OF TRUST




          Section 7.01. Termination of the Applicable Trust. (a) The respective obligations
and responsibilities of the Company and the Trustee with respect to the Applicable Trust shall
terminate upon the distribution to all Applicable Certificateholders and the Trustee of all amounts
required to be distributed to them pursuant to the Agreement and the disposition of all property
held as part of the Trust Property; provided, however, that in no event shall the
Applicable Trust continue beyond one hundred ten (110) years following the date of the execution of
this Trust Supplement.




          Notice of any termination, specifying the Distribution Date upon which the Applicable
Certificateholders may surrender their Applicable Certificates to the Trustee for payment of the
final distribution and cancellation, shall be mailed promptly by the Trustee to Applicable
Certificateholders not earlier than the 60th day and not later than the 15th

proposed final payment of the Applicable Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender
of Applicable Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein specified, (B) the amount
of any such proposed final payment, and (C) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such
Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of
the Applicable Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein specified. The Trustee

satisfied, after sixty days’ notice from the Company, is one month prior to the escheat period
provided under applicable law) after the final distribution date with respect thereto, the Trustee
shall pay to each Loan Trustee the appropriate amount of money relating to such Loan Trustee and
shall give written notice thereof to the Company.




          (b) The provisions of this Section 7.01 supersede and replace the provisions of Section 11.01
of the Basic Agreement in its entirety, with respect to the Applicable Trust.

its acceptance of its Applicable Certificate or a beneficial interest therein, agrees to treat the
Applicable Trust as a grantor trust for all U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes. The

A-2





Company, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth below. To the extent not otherwise defined herein, the
capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Agreement. This
Certificate is one of the duly authorized Certificates designated as “Southwest Airlines Pass
Through Certificates, Series 2007-1A” (herein called the “Certificates”). This Certificate
is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement. By virtue
of its acceptance hereof, the holder of this Certificate (the “Certificateholder” and,
together with all other holders of Certificates issued by the Trust, the
“Certificateholders”) assents to and agrees to be bound by the provisions of the Agreement
and the Intercreditor Agreement. The property of the Trust includes certain Equipment Notes and
all rights of the Trust to receive payments under the Intercreditor Agreement and the Liquidity
Facility (the “Trust Property”). Each issue of the Equipment Notes is secured by, among
other things, a security interest in an Aircraft owned by the Company.




          The Certificates represent Fractional Undivided Interests in the Trust and the Trust Property
and have no rights, benefits or interest in respect of any other separate trust established
pursuant to the terms of the Basic Agreement for any other series of certificates issued pursuant
thereto.




          Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement,
from funds then available to the Trustee, there will be distributed on February 1 and August 1 of
each year (a “Regular Distribution Date”) commencing February 1, 2008, to the Person in
whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the 15th day preceding the
Regular Distribution Date, an amount in respect of the Scheduled Payments on the Equipment Notes
due on such Regular Distribution Date, the receipt of which has been confirmed by the Trustee,
equal to the product of the percentage interest in the Trust evidenced by this Certificate and an
amount equal to the sum of such Scheduled Payments. Subject to and in accordance with the terms of
the Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, in the event that Special Payments on the Equipment
Notes are received by the Trustee, from funds then available to the Trustee, there shall be
distributed on the applicable Special Distribution Date, to the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered at the close of business on the 15th day preceding the Special
Distribution Date, an amount in respect of such Special Payments on the Equipment Notes, the
receipt of which has been confirmed by the Trustee, equal to the product of the percentage interest
in the Trust evidenced by this Certificate and an amount equal to the sum of such Special Payments
so received. If a Regular Distribution Date or Special Distribution Date is not a Business Day,
distribution shall be made on the immediately following Business Day with the same force and effect
as if made on such Regular Distribution Date or Special Distribution Date and no interest shall
accrue during the intervening period. The Trustee shall mail notice of each Special Payment and
the Special Distribution Date therefor to the Certificateholder of this Certificate.




          Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Trustee by check mailed to the Person
entitled thereto, without presentation or surrender of this Certificate or the making of any
notation hereon, except that with respect to Certificates registered on the Record Date in the name
of a Clearing Agency (or its nominee), such distribution shall be made by wire transfer. Except as
otherwise provided in the Agreement and notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this
Certificate will be made after notice mailed by the Trustee of the pendency of










 



A-3



such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office
or agency of the Trustee specified in such notice.




          The Certificates do not represent a direct obligation of, or an obligation guaranteed by, or
an interest in, the Company or the Trustee or any affiliate thereof. The Certificates are limited
in right of payment, all as more specifically set forth on the face hereof and in the Agreement.
All payments or distributions made to Certificateholders under the Agreement shall be made only
from the Trust Property and only to the extent that the Trustee shall have sufficient income or
proceeds from the Trust Property to make such payments in accordance with the terms of the
Agreement. Each Certificateholder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it
will look solely to the income and proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent available for
distribution to such Certificateholder as provided in the Agreement. This Certificate does not
purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made to the Agreement for information with
respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, privileges, and duties evidenced hereby.
A copy of the Agreement may be examined during normal business hours at the principal office of the
Trustee, and at such other places, if any, designated by the Trustee, by any Certificateholder upon
request.




          The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the
modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Certificateholders
under the Agreement at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the
Certificateholders holding Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not
less than a majority in interest in the Trust. Any such consent by the Certificateholder of this
Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Certificateholder and upon all future
Certificateholders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this
Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances,
without the consent of the Certificateholders of any of the Certificates.




          As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the
transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Register upon surrender of this Certificate for
registration of transfer at the offices or agencies maintained by the Trustee in its capacity as
Registrar, or by any successor Registrar, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Registrar, duly executed by the
Certificateholder hereof or such Certificateholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate
Fractional Undivided Interest in the Trust will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.




          The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in minimum
denominations of $1,000 Fractional Undivided Interest and integral multiples thereof, except that
one Certificate may be issued in a different denomination. As provided in the Agreement and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Fractional Undivided
Interest in the Trust, as requested by the Certificateholder surrendering the same.










 



A-4




          No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the
Trustee shall require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge payable
in connection therewith.




          Each Certificateholder and Investor, by its acceptance of this Certificate or a beneficial
interest herein, agrees to treat the Trust as a grantor trust for all U.S. federal, state and local
income tax purposes.




          The Trustee, the Registrar, and any agent of the Trustee or the Registrar may treat the person
in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the
Trustee, the Registrar, nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.




          The obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement and the Trust created thereby
shall terminate upon the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be
distributed to them pursuant to the Agreement and the disposition of all property held as part of
the Trust Property.




          Any Person acquiring or accepting this Certificate or an interest herein will, by such
acquisition or acceptance, be deemed to have represented and warranted to and for the benefit of
the Company that either: (i) the assets of an employee benefit plan subject to Title I of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), or of a plan subject
to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), have not
been used to purchase or hold this Certificate or an interest herein or (ii) the purchase and
holding of this Certificate or an interest herein are exempt from the prohibited transaction
restrictions of ERISA and the Code pursuant to one or more prohibited transaction statutory or
administrative exemptions.




          THIS CERTIFICATE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE
OF NEW YORK.




          Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee, by manual
signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid
for any purpose.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.
