(d) Valid and Binding Agreements. This Agreement and each other Operative Document to which the Company is a party have been duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their 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 and except, in the case of the Indenture, as limited by applicable laws that may affect the remedies provided in the Indenture, which laws, however, do not make the remedies provided in the Indenture inadequate for the practical realization of the rights and benefits intended to be provided thereby.

(e) Filings and Recordation. Except for (i) the filing for recordation pursuant to the Transportation Code of the Indenture (with the Indenture Supplement covering the Aircraft attached), (ii) with respect to the security interests created by such documents, the filing of financing statements (and continuation statements at periodic intervals) under the Uniform Commercial Code of Delaware, and (iii) the registration on the International Registry of the International Interests (or Prospective International Interests) created under the Indenture (as supplemented by the Indenture Supplement covering the Aircraft),

(h) Section 1110. The Loan Trustee shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 1110 with respect to the Aircraft being subjected to the Lien of the Indenture on the Closing Date.

(i) Security Interest. The Indenture creates in favor of the Loan Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders, the Indenture Indemnitees and the Related Indenture Indemnitees, a valid and perfected Lien on the Aircraft purported to be subjected to the Lien of the Indenture on the Closing Date, subject to no equal or prior Lien, except Permitted Liens. There are no Liens of record with the FAA on the Aircraft being subjected to the Lien of the Indenture on the Closing Date other than the Lien of the Indenture and any Permitted Liens arising pursuant to clause (a) of the definition thereof and other than any Liens that will be released on such date. Other than (x) the International Interests (or Prospective International Interests) created under the Indenture (as supplemented by the Indenture Supplement covering the Aircraft) and (y) any International Interests (or Prospective International Interests) that appear on the International Registry as having been discharged, no International Interests with respect to the Aircraft have been registered on the International Registry as of the Closing Date.

(a) Claims Defined. For the purposes of this Section 4.02, “Claims” shall mean any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits, costs or expenses of whatsoever kind and nature (whether or not on the basis of negligence, strict or absolute liability or liability in tort) that may be imposed on, incurred by, suffered by or asserted against an Indemnitee, as defined herein, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 4.02, shall include all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, disbursements and expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket legal fees and expenses) of an Indemnitee in connection therewith or related thereto.

For the purposes of this Section 4.02, “Indemnitee” means (i) WTC and the Loan Trustee, (ii) each separate or additional trustee appointed pursuant to Section 8.02 of the Indenture, (iii) so long as it holds any Equipment Notes as agent and trustee of any Pass Through Trustee, the Subordination Agent, (iv) so long as it is the holder of any Equipment Notes, each Pass Through Trustee, (v) each Liquidity Provider, (vi) any Related Noteholder, (vii) the Escrow Agent, (viii) the Paying Agent and (ix) each of their respective successors and permitted assigns in such capacities, agents, servants, officers, employees and directors (the respective agents, servants, officers, employees and directors of each of the foregoing Indemnitees, as applicable, together with such Indemnitee, being referred to herein collectively as the “Related Indemnitee Group” of such Indemnitee); provided that such Persons shall, to the extent they are not signatories to this Agreement, have expressly agreed in writing to be bound by the terms of this Section 4.02 prior to, or concurrently with, the making of a Claim hereunder. If an Indemnitee fails to comply with any duty or obligation under this Section 4.02 with respect to any Claim, such Indemnitee shall not, to the extent such failure was prejudicial to the Company, be entitled to any indemnity with respect to such Claim under this Section 4.02. No holder of a Pass Through Certificate in its capacity as such holder shall be an Indemnitee for purposes hereof.

(c) Claims Indemnified. Subject to the exclusions stated in Subsection 4.02(d), the Company agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless on an After-Tax Basis each Indemnitee against Claims resulting from or arising out of the sale, purchase, acceptance, non-acceptance or rejection of the Aircraft under the Purchase Agreement or the ownership, possession, use, non-use, substitution, airworthiness, control, maintenance, repair, operation, registration, re-registration, condition, sale, lease, sublease, storage, modification, alteration, return, transfer or other disposition of the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine or any Part (including, without limitation, latent or other defects, whether or not discoverable, and any claim for patent, trademark or copyright infringement) by the Company, any Permitted Lessee or any other Person. Without limiting the foregoing and subject to, and without duplication of, the provisions of Section 6.01(a), the Company agrees to pay the reasonable ongoing fees, and the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Loan Trustee and, so long as it is the holder of any Equipment Notes, each Pass Through Trustee (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements and, to the extent payable as provided in the Indenture, reasonable compensation and expenses of such Person’s agents) in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

(d) Claims Excluded. The following are excluded from the Company’s agreement to indemnify an Indemnitee under this Section 4.02:

(i) any Claim to the extent such Claim is attributable to acts or events occurring after (A) the Lien of the Indenture has been discharged or (B) the transfer of possession of the Aircraft pursuant to Article IV of the Indenture except to the extent that such Claim is attributable to acts occurring in connection with the exercise of remedies pursuant to Section 4.02 of the Indenture following the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default; provided that nothing in this clause (i) shall be deemed to release the Company from any of its obligations under the Operative Documents that expressly provide for performance after the termination of the Indenture;

occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default (provided that any such offer, sale, assignment, transfer, participation or other disposition during the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default shall not be subject to indemnification unless it is made in accordance with the Indenture and applicable law);

(vii) any Claim to the extent such Claim is attributable to (A) a failure on the part of the Loan Trustee to distribute in accordance with this Agreement or any other Operative Document any amounts received and distributable by it hereunder or thereunder, (B) a failure on the part of the Subordination Agent to distribute in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement any amounts received and distributable by it thereunder, (C) a failure on the part of any Pass Through Trustee to distribute in accordance with the Pass Through Trust Agreement to which it is a party any amounts received and distributable by it thereunder, (D) a failure on the part of the Escrow Agent to distribute in accordance with any Escrow Agreement any amounts received and distributable by it thereunder, (E) a failure on the part of the Paying Agent to distribute in accordance with any Escrow Agreement any amounts received and distributable by it thereunder or (F) a failure on the part of the Depositary to pay funds payable by it in accordance with any Deposit Agreement;

(ix) any Claim to the extent such Claim is (A) paid by the Company pursuant to any indemnification, compensation or reimbursement provision of any other Operative Document or any Pass Through Document (without duplication of any payment obligation of the Company) or (B) payable or borne by a Person other than the Company pursuant to any provision of any Operative Document or any Pass Through Document;

(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);

(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); and

(xiv) any Claim to the extent attributable to any amount which any Indemnitee expressly agrees to pay or such Indemnitee expressly agrees shall not be paid by or be reimbursed by Company.

(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 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.

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 direct

and, as promptly as reasonably practical, 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 (if other than the Company) 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) except in a case where the Company is the surviving Person of any merger or consolidation, the Company shall have delivered to the Loan Trustee and each Liquidity Provider a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company 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.

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.

Section 7.01. Notices. Unless otherwise expressly specified or permitted by the terms hereof, all notices required or permitted under the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be in English and in writing, and given by registered or certified United States mail, overnight courier service or facsimile, and any such notice shall be effective when received (or, if delivered by facsimile, upon completion of transmission and confirmation by the sender (by a telephone call to a representative of the recipient or by machine confirmation) that such transmission was received), and addressed as follows: (a) if to the Company, WTC, the Loan Trustee, the Subordination Agent or any Pass Through Trustee, to its respective address (including facsimile number) set forth on Schedule I, or (b) if to any subsequent Noteholder, addressed to such Noteholder at its address set forth in the Equipment Note Register maintained pursuant to Section 2.07 of the Indenture.

Any party, by notice to the other parties hereto, may designate additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or communications. Whenever the words “notice” or “notify” or similar words are used herein, they mean the provision of formal notice set forth in this Section 7.01.

The indemnities set forth in Section 4.02 of this Agreement and the confidentiality obligations set forth in Section 5.0l(h) of this Agreement shall survive the making of the loans, the transfer of any interest by any Noteholder of its Equipment Note and the expiration or termination of any Operative Documents (in the case of the indemnities set forth in Section 4.02 of this Agreement, to the extent arising out of acts or events occurring prior to such expiration or termination).

Section 7.03. 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.

Section 7.04. Severability.

Section 7.05. No Oral Modifications or Continuing Waivers; Consents. Subject to Section 9.03 of the Indenture, no terms or provisions of this Agreement may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which the enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought; provided that no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall be effective unless a signed copy thereof is delivered to the Loan Trustee.

Section 7.06. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The headings of the various Articles and Sections herein and in the Table of Contents are for convenience of reference only and shall not define or limit any of the terms or provisions hereof.

Section 7.07. Successors and Assigns. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties in this Agreement by the Company, by WTC, individually or as Loan Trustee, Subordination Agent or Pass Through Trustee, or by any Noteholder, shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Company, and subject to the terms of Section 6.02(e), its successors and permitted assigns, each Pass Through Trustee and any successor or other trustee under the Pass Through Trust Agreement to which it is a party, the Subordination Agent and its successor under the Intercreditor Agreement and the Loan Trustee and its successor under the Indenture, whether so expressed or not.

Section 7.08. Benefits of Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement, except as provided expressly herein. The Company agrees and acknowledges that the Indemnitees that are not parties to this Agreement are third party beneficiaries of the indemnities by the Company contained in Section 4.02 and that each Liquidity Provider is a third party beneficiary of the Company’s representations and warranties in Section 4.01 and the covenant and agreement of the Company contained in Section 6.02(e), and that such Persons may rely on such indemnities, representations and warranties or covenants and agreements, as the case may be, to the same extent as if such indemnities, representations and warranties or covenants and agreements were made to such Indemnitees or such Liquidity Provider, as the case may be, directly. WTC, generally, and each of the Loan Trustee, the Subordination Agent and each Pass Through Trustee of each Pass Through Trust in existence as of the Closing Date, insofar as relating to each such Person, agrees and acknowledges that each Liquidity Provider is a third party beneficiary of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.01, and that such Liquidity Provider may rely on such representations and warranties to the same extent as if such representations and warranties were made to such Liquidity Provider directly.

Section 7.09. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (and each of the parties hereto 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 shall be an original counterpart of this Agreement, but all of such counterparts shall together constitute one instrument.

Section 7.11. No Petition. Each of the Company, the Loan Trustee, each Pass Through Trustee, the Subordination Agent and any other Noteholder covenants that, (i) until one year and one day after the Series AA Equipment Notes have been paid in full, it shall not acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause or join in invoking or causing the Class AA Pass Through 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 the Class AA Pass Through Trust under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Class AA Pass Through Trust or any substantial part of its property or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the affairs of the Class AA Pass Through Trust, (ii) until one year and one day after the Series A Equipment Notes have been paid in full, it shall not acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause or join in invoking or causing the Class A Pass Through 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 the Class A Pass Through Trust under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Class A Pass Through Trust or any substantial part of its property or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the affairs of the Class A Pass Through Trust, (iii) until one year and one day after the Series B Equipment Notes have been paid in full, it shall not acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause or join in invoking or causing the Class B Pass Through 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 the Class B Pass Through Trust under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar

Trust Supplement No. 2017-2B, dated as of the Class B Issuance Date, between the Company and the Pass Through Trustee in respect of American Airlines Pass Through Trust 2017-2B.

We have acted as special New York counsel to American Airlines, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the transactions contemplated by each Participation Agreement listed on Schedule B hereto (each, a “Participation Agreement” and, collectively, the “Participation Agreements”), each among the Company, as owner, and Wilmington Trust Company, as loan trustee under each respective related Indenture (as defined below) (in such capacity, the “Loan Trustee”), as subordination agent under the Intercreditor Agreement (in such capacity, the “Subordination Agent”), and as pass through trustee under the Pass Through Trust Agreements (in such capacity, the “Pass Through Trustee”).

This letter is furnished pursuant to Section 3.01(g) of each Participation Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given them in each Indenture and Security Agreement listed on Schedule B hereto (each, an “Indenture” and, collectively, the “Indentures”), each between the Company and the Loan Trustee.

As such counsel, we have examined such matters of fact and questions of law as we have considered appropriate for purposes of this letter, except where a specified fact confirmation procedure is stated to have been performed (in which case we have with your consent performed the stated procedure). We have examined, among other things, the following:

The documents described in subsections (a) – (d) above are referred to herein collectively as the “Operative Documents.” As used in this letter, the “NY UCC” shall mean the Uniform Commercial Code as now in effect in the State of New York. As used in this letter, “Applicable UCC” shall mean the NY UCC and/or the Delaware UCC (as defined below), as applicable.

Except as otherwise stated herein, as to factual matters, we have, with your consent, relied upon the foregoing, and upon oral and written statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company and others, including the representations and warranties of the Company in the Operative Documents, and the translations of documents not originally in the English language. We have not independently verified such factual matters.

In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, including any endorsements, the legal capacity and competency of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as facsimile, electronic, certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies.

We are opining as to the effect on the subject transaction only of the (a) federal laws of the United States, (b) the internal laws of the State of New York, in numbered paragraph 6 of this letter, the Delaware UCC (as defined below), and (c) in numbered paragraphs 1, 2(i), 2(iii), 3 and 4 of this letter, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”). We express no opinion with respect to the applicability to the opinions expressed herein, or the effect thereon, of the laws of any other jurisdiction or, in the case of Delaware, any other laws, or as to any matters of municipal law or the laws of any local agencies within any state. With your permission, we have based our opinions set forth in numbered paragraph 6 of this letter exclusively upon our review of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Delaware as set forth in the webpage http://delcode.delaware.gov/ without regard to judicial interpretations thereof or any regulations promulgated thereunder or any other laws of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware UCC”).

Except as otherwise stated herein, our opinions herein are based upon our consideration of only those statutes, rules and regulations which, in our experience, are normally applicable to borrowers in secured financings. We express no opinion as to any state or federal laws or regulations applicable to the subject transactions because of the legal or regulatory status of any parties to the Operative Documents or the legal or regulatory status of any of their affiliates. Various issues pertaining to regulatory matters with respect to the Company are addressed in the opinion letters of Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP, separately provided to you. We express no opinion with respect to those matters herein, and to the extent elements of those opinions are necessary to the conclusions expressed herein, we have, with your consent, assumed such matters. We express no opinion as to the Federal Aviation Act (the “Act”) or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or, except as provided in numbered paragraph 7 below, the Cape Town Convention (as defined in the Cape Town Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment and the related Protocol to the Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment on Matters Specific to Aircraft Equipment, as in effect in the United States; collectively, the “Convention”).

Subject to the foregoing and the other matters set forth herein, as of the date hereof:

Except as expressly set forth in numbered paragraphs 5 and 6, we do not express any opinion with respect to the creation, validity, attachment, perfection or priority of any security interest or lien or the effectiveness of any sale or other conveyance or transfer of real or personal property. The opinions above do not include any opinions with respect to compliance with laws relating to permissible rates of interest.

We express no opinion or confirmation as to federal or state securities laws, tax laws, antitrust or trade regulation laws, insolvency or fraudulent transfer laws, antifraud laws, fiduciary duty requirements, federal aviation laws (including Title 49, United States Code, “Transportation,” and any laws relating to the particular nature of any Aircraft other than, with respect to numbered paragraph 7 only, the Convention and, with respect to numbered paragraph 8 only, Section 1110 of the federal Bankruptcy Code) or regulations, pension or employee benefit laws, usury laws, environmental laws, margin regulations, laws and regulations relating to commodities trading, futures and swaps, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority rules, National Futures Association rules, or the rules of any stock exchange, clearing organization, designated contract market or other regulated entity for trading, processing, clearing or reporting transactions in securities, commodities, futures or swaps, export control, foreign assets control, sanctions, anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism laws and regulations (without limiting other laws, regulations or rules excluded by customary practice).

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the opinions expressed above are also subject to our assumption that any conditions to the effectiveness of the Operative Documents have been satisfied or waived.

Our opinions expressed herein with respect to the Operative Documents address only the express terms of such documents (excluding any provisions incorporating any document or agreement, or the provisions of any other document or agreement, that is not an Operative Document, by reference) and not any other document or agreement, or the provisions of such other document or agreement, incorporated therein or made a part thereof by reference.

The opinions set forth above are also subject to (i) the unenforceability of contractual provisions waiving or varying the rules listed in Section 9-602 of the Applicable UCC and (ii) the unenforceability under certain circumstances of contractual provisions respecting self-help or summary remedies without notice of or opportunity for hearing or correction.

Insofar as our opinions require interpretation of the Specified Agreements, with your consent, (i) we have assumed that all courts of competent jurisdiction would enforce such agreements in accordance with their plain meaning, (ii) we express no opinion with respect to a breach or default under any Specified Agreement that would occur only upon the happening of a contingency, and (iii) we express no opinion with respect to any matters which require the performance of a mathematical calculation or the making of a financial or accounting determination.

Our opinion in numbered paragraph 5 of this letter is limited to Article 9 of the NY UCC and our opinion in numbered paragraph 6 above is limited to Article 9 of the Delaware UCC, and therefore those opinion paragraphs, among other things, do not address collateral of a type not subject to, or excluded from the coverage of, Article 9 of the NY UCC or Article 9 of the Delaware UCC, as applicable.

Our opinion in numbered paragraph 7 above is limited to the Convention and is also subject to the following additional exceptions, qualifications and limitations:

With your consent, except to the extent that we have expressly opined as to such matters with respect to the Company herein, we have assumed that (a) the Operative Documents (other than the Equipment Notes) have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto, (b) the Operative Documents constitute legally valid and binding obligations of the parties thereto, enforceable against each of them in accordance with their respective terms, (c) each Airframe is an “aircraft” as defined in Section 40102 of the Act and that the Engines are “aircraft engines” as defined in Section 40102 of the Act, (d) the Company is an “air carrier” within the meaning of Title 49 operating under a certificate issued pursuant to Chapter 447 of the Act for aircraft capable of carrying 10 or more individuals or 6,000 pounds or more of cargo, is a “citizen of the United States” as such term is defined in Section 40102 of the Act and holds all authority, necessary licenses and certificates under the Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder necessary for the conduct of its business and to perform its obligations under the Operative Documents to which it is a party and (e) the status of the Operative Documents as legally valid and binding obligations of the parties is not affected by any (i) breaches of, or defaults under, agreements or instruments, (ii) violations of statutes, rules, regulations or court or governmental orders, or (iii) failures to obtain required consents, approvals or authorizations from, or make required registrations, declarations or filings with, governmental authorities.

This letter is furnished only to you and is solely for your benefit in connection with the transactions referenced in the first paragraph of this letter. This letter may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose, or furnished to, assigned to, quoted to or relied upon by any other person or entity for any purpose, without our prior written consent, which may be granted or withheld in our sole discretion. In addition, we hereby consent to your furnishing a copy of this letter: (i) to governmental regulatory agencies having jurisdiction over any person permitted to rely on this letter, (ii) to attorneys as needed in connection with any legal action arising out of the transactions contemplated by each Indenture to which a person permitted to rely on this letter is a party, and (iii) as required by any order of, or in connection with any proceeding of, any court or governmental authority; provided, however, that no such person shall be entitled to rely on this letter.

We have acted as counsel to Wilmington Trust Company, a Delaware trust company (“WTC”), in connection with the Indenture and Security Agreement ([ ]), dated as of [ ], 201[ ] (the “Indenture”), among WTC as Loan Trustee (the “Loan Trustee”), and American Airlines, Inc. (the “Owner”). Pursuant to the Participation Agreement ([ ]), dated as of [ ], 201[ ] (the “Participation Agreement”), among the Owner and WTC, in its individual capacity as set forth therein, as Loan Trustee, as Subordination Agent under the Intercreditor Agreement (as defined in the Participation Agreement) and as Pass Through Trustee (as defined in the Participation Agreement), financing is being provided for one [Boeing] [Embraer] Model [ ] aircraft bearing manufacturer’s serial number [ ]. This opinion is furnished pursuant to Section 3.01(h) of the Participation Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined are used as defined in the Indenture, except that reference herein to any document shall mean such document as in effect on the date hereof.

(b) The Participation Agreement (the documents referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b) above being collectively referred to as the “Loan Trustee Documents”); and

We have also examined originals or copies of such other documents and such corporate records, certificates and other statements of governmental officials and corporate officers and other representatives of the corporations or entities referred to herein as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion. Moreover, as to certain facts material to the opinions expressed herein, we have relied upon representations and warranties contained in the documents referred to in this paragraph.

Based upon the foregoing and upon an examination of such questions of law as we have considered necessary or appropriate, and subject to the assumptions, exceptions and qualifications set forth below, we advise you that, in our opinion:

1. WTC has been duly incorporated and is validly existing in good standing as a trust company under the laws of the State of Delaware, is a “citizen of the United States” within the meaning of Section 40102(a)(15) of Title 49 of the United States Code, as amended, and has full power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Loan Trustee Documents and to authenticate the Equipment Notes.

2. The Loan Trustee, the Subordination Agent, the Pass Through Trustee or WTC, as the case may be, has duly authorized, executed and delivered each Loan Trustee Document to which it is a party, and each such document constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Loan Trustee, the Subordination Agent, the Pass Through Trustee or WTC, as the case may be, enforceable against the Loan Trustee, the Subordination Agent, the Pass Through Trustee or WTC, as the case may be, in accordance with its terms.

3. The execution, delivery and performance by the Loan Trustee, Subordination Agent, Pass Through Trustee or WTC, as the case may be, of the Loan Trustee Documents to which it is a party, the authentication by the Loan Trustee of the Equipment Notes and the consummation by the Loan Trustee, the Subordination Agent, the Pass Through Trustee or WTC, as the case may be, of any of the transactions contemplated thereby are not in violation of the charter or by-laws of WTC, of any law, governmental rule or regulation of the State of Delaware or the United States governing the trust powers of WTC or, to our knowledge, any indenture, mortgage, bank credit agreement, note or bond purchase agreement, long-term lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which WTC is a party or by which it is bound or, to our knowledge, any judgment or order applicable to WTC.

4. None of the execution and delivery by the Loan Trustee, the Subordination Agent, the Pass Through Trustee or WTC, as the case may be, of the Loan Trustee Documents to which it is a party, the authentication of the Equipment Notes or the consummation of any of the transactions by the Loan Trustee, the Subordination Agent, the Pass Through Trustee or WTC, as the case may be, contemplated thereby, requires the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the registration with or the taking of any other action in respect of any governmental authority or agency of the State of Delaware or the United States governing the trust powers of WTC or under any Delaware law.

5. No taxes, fees or other charges (other than taxes payable by WTC on or measured by any compensation received by WTC for its services as Loan Trustee, Subordination Agent or Pass Through Trustee) are required to be paid by the Subordination Agent, the Pass Through Trustee or the Loan Trustee or the trust created by the Indenture under the laws of the State of Delaware, or any political subdivision thereof, in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of the Loan Trustee Documents to which the Loan Trustee, the Subordination Agent or the Pass Through Trustee is party and the Equipment Notes, which taxes, fees or other charges would not be required to be paid if WTC were not a Delaware trust company and did not perform its obligations as Loan Trustee under the Indenture in the State of Delaware.

6. The Equipment Notes have been duly and validly authenticated by the Loan Trustee in accordance with the Indenture.

7. To our knowledge, there are no proceedings pending or threatened against or affecting the Loan Trustee, the Subordination Agent, the Pass Through Trustee or WTC in any court or before any governmental authority, agency, arbitration board or tribunal which, if adversely determined, individually or in the aggregate, would materially and adversely affect the property included in the Collateral or the right, power and authority of the Loan Trustee, the Subordination Agent, the Pass Through Trustee or WTC, as the case may be, to enter into or perform its obligations under the Loan Trustee Documents to which it is party.

The foregoing opinions are subject to the following assumptions, exceptions and qualifications:

A. We are admitted to practice law in the State of Delaware and we do not hold ourselves out as being experts on the law of any other jurisdiction. The foregoing opinions are limited to the laws of the State of Delaware (and its political subdivisions to the extent set forth in paragraph 5 above and the federal laws of the United States of America governing the trust powers of WTC, except that we express no opinion with respect to (i) federal securities laws, including the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, (ii) Part A of Subtitle VII of Title 49 of the United States Code, as amended (except with respect to the opinion set forth in paragraph 1 above concerning the citizenship of WTC), (iii) the Federal Communications Act of 1934, as amended, (iv) state securities or blue sky laws, or (v) laws, rules and regulations applicable to the particular nature of the equipment acquired by the Owner. Insofar as the foregoing opinions relate to the validity and enforceability of the Loan Trustee Documents expressed to be governed by the laws of the State of New York, we have assumed that each such document is legal, valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with its terms under such laws (as to which we express no opinion).

B. The foregoing opinions regarding enforceability are subject to (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization, receivership, fraudulent conveyance and similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of the rights and remedies of creditors generally, and (ii) principles of equity (regardless of whether considered and applied in a proceeding in equity or at law).

C. We have assumed that each of the parties to the Loan Trustee Documents and the Equipment Notes (except the Loan Trustee, the Subordination Agent, the Pass Through Trustee or WTC, as the case may be) has full power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform each such document and that each such document has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each such party.

D. We have assumed that all signatures (other than signatures of officers of WTC) on documents examined by us are genuine, that all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic and that all documents submitted to us as copies conform with the originals, which facts we have not independently verified.

E. We have assumed that the Participation Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are not within the prohibitions of Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

F. No opinion is expressed as to the creation, attachment, perfection or priority of any mortgage or security interests or as to the nature or validity of title to any part of the property included in the Collateral.

G. The opinion set forth in paragraph 1 above concerning the citizenship of WTC is based upon an affidavit of WTC made by one of its Vice Presidents, the facts set forth in which we have not independently verified.

H. In basing the opinions set forth herein on “our knowledge,” the words “our knowledge” signify that no information has come to the attention of the attorneys in the firm who are directly involved in the representation of WTC in this transaction that would give us actual knowledge that any such opinions are not accurate. Except as otherwise stated herein, we have undertaken no independent investigation or verification of such matters.

This opinion may be relied upon by you in connection with the matters set forth herein. This opinion may also be relied upon by any transferee of a Noteholder, subject to the understanding that the opinions expressed herein are rendered as of the date hereof and only with respect to the laws, rules and regulations in effect as of such date. Otherwise, without our prior written consent, this opinion may not be relied upon by any other person or entity for any purpose.

Wilmington Trust Company, individually, as Loan Trustee, as Subordination Agent, as Paying Agent and as Pass Through Trustee

Acting as special legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by the instruments described below, this opinion is furnished to you with respect to (i) the registration of interests with the International Registry (the “IR”) created pursuant to, and according to the provisions of, the Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment (the “Convention”), the Protocol to the Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment on Matters Specific to Aircraft Equipment (the “Protocol”), both signed in Cape Town, South Africa on November 16, 2001, together with the Regulations for the International Registry (the “Regulations”), the International Registry Procedures (the “Procedures”), and all other rules, amendments, supplements, and revisions thereto (collectively, the “CTT”), all as in effect on this date in the United States of America, as a Contracting State, and (ii) the recordation of instruments and the registration of airframes with the Federal Aviation Administration (the “FAA”) under the requirements of Title 49 of the United States Code (the “Transportation Code”).

Terms capitalized herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given in the CTT.

On , 20 at .M., C._.T., we examined and filed with the FAA the Indenture and Security Agreement (N ) dated as of between American Airlines, Inc. (the “Owner”) and Wilmington Trust Company as loan trustee (the “Loan Trustee”), with Indenture Supplement (N ) No. 1 dated between the Owner and the Loan Trustee attached thereto, covering the Airframe and the Engines (collectively, the “Indenture”).

The interest created by the Indenture is referred to herein as the “CTT Security Interest”.

Based upon our examination of the foregoing instruments and such records of the FAA and the IR as we deemed necessary to render this opinion, it is our opinion that:

In the event the CTT Security Interest is not subject to the CTT, then the interests created thereby are governed by the Transportation Code or applicable law.

This opinion is subject to certain comments, limitations and assumptions as listed in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Wilmington Trust Company, individually, as Loan Trustee, as Subordination Agent, as Paying Agent and as Pass Through Trustee

Reference is made to (i) Purchase Agreement No. [ ], dated as of [ ] (as amended, modified and supplemented, the “Purchase Agreement”), between THE BOEING COMPANY, a Delaware corporation (the “Manufacturer”), and AMERICAN AIRLINES, INC., a Delaware corporation (“American”), and (ii) the Boeing [ ] aircraft bearing Manufacturer’s serial number [ ] and U.S. Registration No. [ ] (the “Aircraft”). The Manufacturer hereby acknowledges notice of and consents to the assignment (the “Warranty Assignment”) by American to Wilmington Trust Company, as Loan Trustee (the “Loan Trustee”), for the security and benefit of the Loan Trustee, the other Indenture Indemnitees, the Related Indenture Indemnitees and the Noteholders, under that certain Indenture and Security Agreement ([Reg. No.]), dated as of [ ], 201[7][8] (the “Indenture”; capitalized terms used herein without definition have the meanings specified therefor in the Indenture), between American and the Loan Trustee, of all right and interest of American in, to and under Parts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 of the Product Assurance Document (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement), but only to the extent that the same relate to continuing rights of American in respect of any warranty or indemnity, express or implied, pursuant to the Product Assurance Document with respect to the Airframe (the “Warranty Rights”). The Manufacturer hereby confirms that:

(i) all obligations of the Manufacturer contained in the Warranty Rights, together with all rights, powers, privileges, options and other benefits of American under the same with respect to such warranties or indemnities, shall, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, inure to the benefit of the Loan Trustee under the Indenture to the extent provided therein to the same extent as if the Loan Trustee had originally been named the “Customer” in the Product Assurance Document; and

(ii) except as otherwise provided herein, the Loan Trustee shall not be liable, by virtue of the Warranty Assignment, for any of the obligations or duties of the Customer under the Purchase Agreement, nor shall the Warranty Assignment give rise to any duties or obligations whatsoever on the part of the Loan Trustee owing to the Manufacturer or to make any payment or to make any inquiry as to the sufficiency of any payment received by it or to present or file any claim or to take any other action to collect or enforce any claim for any payment assigned hereunder.

Anything contained herein, in the Indenture or in any other document to the contrary notwithstanding, the Manufacturer’s consent and agreements hereunder are expressly conditioned on the following: (i) American shall at all times remain liable to the Manufacturer under the Purchase Agreement to perform all the duties and obligations

of the “Customer” thereunder to the same extent as if this Manufacturer’s Consent had not been executed; (ii) until the receipt from the Loan Trustee of written notice addressed to the Manufacturer’s Vice President, Contracts, Boeing Commercial Airplanes, at P.O. Box 3707, MC 21-34, Seattle, Washington 98124, that an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) has been declared and is continuing, the Manufacturer shall perform its duties and obligations under Parts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 of the Product Assurance Document with respect to the Aircraft exclusively at the direction of American, and after the receipt of such notice, the Manufacturer shall make any and all payments which it may be required thereafter to make under the Purchase Agreement in respect of the Aircraft (to the extent that the right to receive such payments has been assigned under the Indenture), directly to the Loan Trustee at its address at Wilmington Trust Company, 1100 North Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19890, attention: Corporate Capital Market Services, unless and until the Manufacturer shall have received from the Loan Trustee notice addressed as aforesaid, that no Event of Default is continuing, whereupon the Manufacturer will make all such payments which the Manufacturer may be required to make thereafter in respect of the Aircraft under the Purchase Agreement to American; (iii) the exercise by the Loan Trustee of any of the rights assigned hereunder shall not release American from any of its duties or obligations to the Manufacturer under the Purchase Agreement except to the extent that such exercise by the Loan Trustee shall constitute performance of such duties and obligations; and (iv) without in any way releasing American from any of its duties or obligations under the Purchase Agreement, the Loan Trustee agrees for the benefit of the Manufacturer that, insofar as the provisions of the Purchase Agreement relate to the Aircraft, in exercising any rights under the Warranty Rights, or in making any claim with respect to the Aircraft thereunder or any other things delivered or to be delivered pursuant thereto, the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, the disclaimer and release and exclusion of consequential and other damages provisions in Article 11 of Exhibit C, Part 2 of the AGTA (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and the insurance and indemnity provisions in Article 8.2 of the AGTA (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), shall apply to, and be binding upon, the Loan Trustee to the same extent as American. Nothing contained herein or in the Indenture shall subject the Manufacturer to any liability to which it would not otherwise be subject under the Purchase Agreement or modify in any respect the contract rights of the Manufacturer thereunder.

The Manufacturer hereby represents and warrants that (A) the Manufacturer is a corporation duly organized and existing in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement and this Manufacturer’s Consent; (B) the making and performance of the Purchase Agreement and this Manufacturer’s Consent have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Manufacturer, do not require any stockholder approval and do not contravene the Manufacturer’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws or any indenture, credit agreement or other contractual agreement to which the Manufacturer is a party or by

which it is bound; (C) the making and performance of this Manufacturer’s Consent do not contravene any law binding on the Manufacturer; and (D) the Purchase Agreement as of the date thereof and at all times thereafter to and including the date of this Manufacturer’s Consent and this Manufacturer’s Consent constitutes a binding obligation of the Manufacturer enforceable against the Manufacturer in accordance with its terms, subject, in each case, to (i) the limitation of applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

We have been requested by American Airlines, Inc., a company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Company”), to act as U.S. Department of Transportation (“Department of Transportation”) and Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) regulatory counsel with respect to, and to render this opinion letter in connection with, the transactions contemplated by the Participation Agreement ([•]) dated as of [•], 2017 (the “Participation Agreement”), among the Company and Wilmington Trust Company, a Delaware trust company (“WTC”), in its individual capacity as set forth therein and in its capacity as Loan Trustee, Subordination Agent under the Intercreditor Agreement and as Pass Through Trustee under the Pass Through Trust Agreements. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings given those terms in the Participation Agreement. This letter is being furnished to you pursuant to Section 3.01(g)(ii) of the Participation Agreement.

We have examined such public records and certificates and have made such other investigations as we have deemed necessary in connection with the opinions set forth below. We have not examined or reviewed, and express no opinion as to, any of the documents and instruments to be executed and delivered by the Company or any other party to the transaction, or related documents.

In preparing this opinion letter, we have relied without any independent verification upon information contained in certificates obtained from governmental authorities and factual information we have obtained from such other sources as we have deemed reasonable. We have assumed without investigation that there has been no relevant change or development between the dates as of which the information cited in the preceding sentence was given and the date of this opinion letter and that the information upon which we have relied is accurate and does not omit disclosures necessary to prevent such information from being misleading.

In our examination, we have assumed, with your permission and without independent investigation: (i) that United States citizens, as defined by 49 U.S.C. 40102(a)(15), own or control at least seventy-five percent of the voting interest of the Company, that the president and at least two-thirds of the board of directors and other managing officers of the Company are citizens of the United States, and that the Company is under the actual control of citizens of the United States; (ii) that the Company has in effect insurance coverage as required under 14 C.F.R. 205; and (iii) that the Company has not undergone any substantial changes in ownership, management or operations without complying with the notification requirements of the Department of Transportation and the FAA.

We have made such examination of federal laws of the United States as we deemed relevant for purposes of this opinion letter, but have made no review of, and express no opinion concerning, the laws of any other state or jurisdiction other than the United States. We have assumed that all relevant federal statutes, rules and regulations are valid and constitutional.

The terms “known to us” and “knowledge” and “aware”, whenever such terms are used in this opinion letter with respect to our firm, mean the actual knowledge on the date hereof by the Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP lawyers who have had significant involvement with the representation of the Company.

Subject to the assumptions, qualifications, exclusions and other limitations identified in this opinion letter, we are of the opinion that:

The opinion in paragraph two with respect to the validity of the air carrier operating certificate (the “Certificate”) of the Company is based solely on our review of the Certificate, which is available publicly from the FAA. We have no actual knowledge of any threatened or pending investigation or proceeding that might result in revocation of the Certificate.

This opinion letter speaks as of the time of its delivery on the date it bears. We do not assume any obligation to provide you with any subsequent opinion or advice by reason of any fact about which we did not have actual knowledge at that time, by reason of any change subsequent to that time in any law covered by any of our opinions, or for any other reason. This opinion letter is limited to the matters expressly stated herein and no opinion or other statement may be inferred or implied beyond the matters expressly stated herein. This opinion letter may be relied upon by you only in connection with the transaction identified in this opinion letter, and may not be relied upon, quoted or referred to or used by you or any other person for any other purpose whatsoever, except with our prior written consent in each instance, except that this opinion letter may be disclosed (i) to bank examiners and other governmental regulatory authorities should they so request in connection with their normal examinations, and to their independent auditors and attorneys, (ii) pursuant to orders or legal process of any court or governmental agency, and (iii) to attorneys as needed in connection with any legal action arising out of transactions contemplated by each Indenture to which a person permitted to rely on this letter is a party.

Wilmington Trust Company, individually, as Loan Trustee, as Subordination Agent, as Paying Agent and as Pass Through Trustee

We have acted as special Delaware counsel for American Airlines, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the matters set forth herein. At your request, this opinion is being furnished to you.

For purposes of giving the opinions hereinafter set forth, our examination of documents has been limited to the examination of originals or copies of the documents listed on Schedule B attached hereto.

For purposes of this opinion, we have not reviewed any documents other than the documents referenced above. In particular, we have not reviewed any document (other than the documents referenced above) that is referred to in or incorporated by reference in any document reviewed by us. We have assumed that there exists no provision in any document that we have not reviewed that is inconsistent with the opinions stated herein. We have conducted no independent factual investigation of our own but rather have relied solely upon the foregoing documents, the statements and information set forth therein and the additional matters recited or assumed herein, all of which we have assumed to be true, complete and accurate in all material respects.

With respect to all documents examined by us, we have assumed that (i) all signatures on documents examined by us are genuine, (ii) all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic, and (iii) all documents submitted to us as copies conform with the originals of those documents.

For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed (i) that each of the parties to the documents examined by us has been duly organized, formed or created, as the case may be, and is validly existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction governing its organization, formation or creation, (ii) the legal capacity of natural persons who are signatories to the documents examined by us, (iii) that each of the parties to the documents examined by us has the power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, such documents, (iv) that each of the parties to the documents examined by us has duly authorized, executed and delivered such documents, and (v) that each of the documents examined by us constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the parties thereto, and is enforceable against the parties thereto, in accordance with its terms.

This opinion is limited to the laws of the State of Delaware (excluding the insurance, securities and blue sky laws of the State of Delaware), and we have not considered and express no opinion on the laws of any other jurisdiction, including federal laws (including federal bankruptcy law) and rules and regulations relating thereto. Our opinions are rendered only with respect to Delaware laws and rules, regulations and orders thereunder that are currently in effect.

Based upon the foregoing, and upon our examination of such questions of law and statutes of the State of Delaware as we have considered necessary or appropriate, and subject to the assumptions, qualifications, limitations and exceptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Financing Statement is in an appropriate form for filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (Uniform Commercial Code Section) (the “Division”).

2. To the extent that Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Delaware on the date hereof (the “Delaware UCC”) is applicable (without regard to conflict of laws principles), upon the filing of the Financing Statement with the Division, the Loan Trustee will have a perfected security interest in the Company’s rights in that portion of the Collateral (as defined in the Indenture) described in the Financing Statement in which a security interest may be perfected by the filing of a UCC financing statement with the Division (the “Filing Collateral”) and the proceeds thereof (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(64) of the Delaware UCC).

The opinions expressed above are subject to the following additional assumptions, qualifications, limitations and exceptions:

A. We have assumed that the Company has sufficient rights in the Collateral and has received sufficient value and consideration in connection with the security interest granted under such Indenture for the security interest of the Loan Trustee to attach, and we express no opinion as to the nature or extent of the Company’s rights in, or title to, any portion of the Collateral.

B. We note that the Indenture is expressed to be governed by the laws of the State of New York. Accordingly, we have assumed that the security interests in the collateral identified in the Indenture and the proceeds (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(64) of the Delaware UCC) thereof have been duly created and have attached (as to which we express no opinion).

C. The opinions set forth above are limited to Article 9 of the Delaware UCC, and therefore such opinions do not address (i) laws of jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware, and of the State of Delaware except for Article 9 of the Delaware UCC, (ii) collateral of a type not subject to Article 9 of the Delaware UCC, or (iii) Sections 9-301 through 9-307 of the Delaware UCC, which law governs perfection of the security interests granted in the collateral covered by this opinion.

D. We note that further filings under the Delaware UCC may be necessary to preserve and maintain (to the extent established and perfected by the filing of the Financing Statement as described herein) the security interests of the Loan Trustee in the Filing Collateral, including, without limitation, the following:

(i) appropriate continuation filings to be made within the period of six months prior to the expiration of five year anniversary dates from the date of the original filing of the Financing Statement;

(ii) filings required with respect to proceeds of collateral under Section 9-315(d) of the Delaware UCC;

(iii) filings required within four months of the change of name, identity or structure made by or with respect to the Company, to the extent set forth in Sections 9-507 and 9-508 of the Delaware UCC;

(iv) filings required within four months of a change by the Company of its location to another jurisdiction, to the extent set forth in Sections 9-301 and 9-316 of the Delaware UCC; and

(v) filings required within one year after the transfer of collateral to a Person that becomes a debtor and is located in another jurisdiction, to the extent set forth in Section 9-316 of the Delaware UCC.

E. Further, we note that the effectiveness of the Financing Statement may terminate and additional filings may be required if the secured party changes its name or the address of the secured party as shown on the Financing Statement ceases to be an address from which information concerning the secured party’s security interest can be obtained, unless a new appropriate financing statement or amendment indicating the new name or address of the secured party from which information concerning the secured party’s security interest can be obtained, is properly filed upon the effectiveness of such change in name or address.

F. We do not express any opinion as to the perfection or priority of any security interest in any portion of the Filing Collateral in which a security interest cannot be perfected by the filing of a financing statement with the Division. In addition, no opinion is expressed herein concerning (i) any collateral other than the Filing Collateral and the proceeds (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(64) of the Delaware UCC) thereof, (ii) any portion of the Filing Collateral that constitutes a “commercial tort claim” (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(13) of the Delaware UCC), (iii) any consumer transaction, or (iv) any security interest in goods covered by a certificate of title statute. Further, we do not express any opinion as to the perfection or priority of any security interest in proceeds (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(64) of the Delaware

There shall be maintained an Equipment Note Register for the purpose of registering transfers and exchanges of Equipment Notes at the Corporate Trust Office of the Loan Trustee, or at the office of any successor trustee, in the manner provided in Section 2.07 of the Indenture.

The principal amount and interest and other amounts due hereunder shall be payable in Dollars in immediately available funds at the Corporate Trust Office of the Loan Trustee, or as otherwise provided in the Indenture. The Company shall not have any responsibility for the distribution of any such payment to the Noteholder of this Equipment Note. Each such payment shall be made on the date such payment is due and without any presentment or surrender of this Equipment Note, except that in the case of any final payment with respect to this Equipment Note, this Equipment Note shall be surrendered to the Loan Trustee for cancellation.

The holder hereof, by its acceptance of this Equipment Note, agrees that, except as provided in the Indenture, including the subordination provisions referred to below, each payment of an installment of principal amount, interest and Make-Whole Amount, if any, received by it hereunder shall be applied: first, to the payment of accrued interest on this Equipment Note (as well as any interest on (i) any overdue principal amount, and (ii) to the extent permitted by law, any overdue Make-Whole Amount, if any, any overdue interest and any other overdue amounts hereunder) to the date of such payment; second, to the payment of Make-Whole Amount, if any, with respect to this Equipment Note; third, to the payment of the principal amount of this Equipment Note (or portion thereof) then due hereunder, if any; and fourth, the balance, if any, remaining thereafter to the payment of installments of the principal amount of this Equipment Note (or portion thereof) remaining unpaid in the inverse order of their maturity.

This Equipment Note is one of the Equipment Notes referred to in the Indenture which have been or are to be issued by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Indenture. The Collateral is held by the Loan Trustee as security, in part, for the Equipment Notes. The provisions of this Equipment Note are subject to the Indenture, the Related Indentures, the Participation Agreement, the other Operative Documents and the Pass Through Documents. Reference is hereby made to the Indenture, the Related Indentures, the Participation Agreement, the other Operative Documents and the Pass Through Documents for a complete statement of the rights and obligations of the holder of, and the nature and extent of the security for, this Equipment Note (including as a “Related Equipment Note” under each Related Indenture) and the rights and obligations

of the holders of, and the nature and extent of the security for, any other Equipment Notes executed and delivered under the Indenture, to all of which terms and conditions in the Indenture, the Related Indentures, the Participation Agreement, the other Operative Documents and the Pass Through Documents each holder hereof agrees by its acceptance of this Equipment Note.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Equipment Note is exchangeable for an equal aggregate principal amount of Equipment Notes of the same Series of different authorized denominations, as requested by the holder surrendering the same. Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Equipment Note, the Company and the Loan Trustee shall deem and treat the Person in whose name this Equipment Note is registered on the Equipment Note Register as the absolute owner and holder hereof for the purpose of receiving all amounts payable with respect to this Equipment Note and for all purposes, and neither the Company nor the Loan Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

This Equipment Note is subject to redemption as provided in Section 2.10, Section 2.11 and Section 2.12 of the Indenture but not otherwise. In addition, this Equipment Note may be accelerated as provided in Section 4.02 of the Indenture.

This Equipment Note is subject to certain restrictions set forth in Section 4.01(a)(ii) and Section 4.01(a)(iii) of the Intercreditor Agreement, as further specified in Section 2.07 of the Indenture, to all of which terms and conditions in the Intercreditor Agreement each holder hereof agrees by its acceptance of this Equipment Note.

The holder hereof, by its acceptance of this Equipment Note, agrees that no payment or distribution shall be made on or in respect of the Secured Obligations (as defined in the Indenture) or the Secured Obligations (as defined in any Related Indenture) owed to such holder, including, without limitation, any payment or distribution of cash, property or securities after the occurrence of any of the events referred to in Section 4.01(f) of the Indenture or after the commencement of any proceedings of the type referred to in Section 4.01(g), Section 4.01(h) or Section 4.01(i) of the Indenture, except, in each case, as expressly provided in Article III of the Indenture or Article III of the applicable Related Indenture, as appropriate.

The indebtedness evidenced by this Equipment Note is[,]⁶ [(i) to the extent and in the manner provided in the Indenture, subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the Secured Obligations in respect of [Series AA Equipment

Notes]⁷ [Series AA Equipment Notes and Series A Equipment Notes]⁸[ Series AA Equipment Notes, Series A Equipment Notes and Series B Equipment Notes]⁹, and certain other Secured Obligations, and (ii)]¹⁰ to the extent and in the manner provided in each Related Indenture, subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full under such Related Indenture of the “Secured Obligations” in respect of the “Equipment Notes” issued under such Related Indenture, and this Equipment Note is issued subject to such provisions. The Noteholder of this Equipment Note, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the Loan Trustee or the Related Loan Trustee under the applicable Related Indenture, as appropriate, on such Noteholder’s behalf to take any action necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in this Indenture or the applicable Related Indenture and (c) appoints the Loan Trustee or the Related Loan Trustee under the applicable Related Indenture, as appropriate, as such Noteholder’s attorney-in-fact for such purpose.

Without limiting the foregoing, the Noteholder of this Equipment Note, by accepting the same, agrees that if such Noteholder, in its capacity as a Noteholder, shall receive any payment or distribution on any Secured Obligation in respect of this Equipment Note that it is not entitled to receive under Section 2.13 or Article III of the Indenture, it shall hold any amount so received in trust for the Loan Trustee and forthwith turn over such amount to the Loan Trustee in the form received to be applied as provided in Article III of the Indenture.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by or on behalf of the Loan Trustee by manual signature, this Equipment Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

THIS EQUIPMENT NOTE 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.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Equipment Note to be executed in its corporate name by its officer thereunto duly authorized on the date hereof.

This is one of the Equipment Notes referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

Section 2.02. Issuance and Terms of Equipment Notes. The Equipment Notes shall be dated the date of issuance thereof, shall be issued in (a) separate Series consisting of Series AA Equipment Notes, Series A Equipment Notes, Series B Equipment Notes and Additional Series Equipment Notes (if issued) (if more than one series of Additional Series Equipment Notes are so issued whether at the same or different times, each such

series shall have a different designation such as, for example, “Series C” and “Series D”) and (b) the maturities and original principal amounts and shall bear interest at the applicable Debt Rates specified in Schedule I hereto (as, in the case of any Equipment Notes issued after the Closing Date, such Schedule I may be amended in connection with such issuance). On the date of original issuance thereof, each Series AA Equipment Note, Series A Equipment Note, Series B Equipment Note and Additional Series Equipment Note (if issued) shall be issued to the Subordination Agent on behalf of each of the Pass Through Trustees for the applicable Pass Through Trust created under the Pass Through Trust Agreements referred to in Schedule II. Subject to compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 4(a)(v) of the Note Purchase Agreement, Section 2.02 of the Participation Agreement and Section 8.01(d) of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Company shall have the option to issue Additional Series Equipment Notes at any time and from time to time. In addition, if all of the Series A Equipment Notes, Series B Equipment Notes or any Series of Additional Equipment Notes (in each case, whether issued on or after the Closing Date) shall have been redeemed pursuant to Section 2.11(b) or repaid in full, the Company shall, subject to compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 4(a)(v) of the Note Purchase Agreement, Section 2.02 of the Participation Agreement and Section 8.01(c) of the Intercreditor Agreement, have the option to issue new Series A Equipment Notes, Series B Equipment Notes or Additional Series Equipment Notes with the same Series designation as, but with terms that may be the same as or different from those of, the redeemed or repaid Series A Equipment Notes, Series B Equipment Notes or Additional Series Equipment Notes. Without limitation of the foregoing, new Series A Equipment Notes, new Series B Equipment Notes and, if any Additional Series Equipment Notes shall have been issued hereunder, new Additional Series Equipment Notes may be issued pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.11(b). The Equipment Notes shall be issued in registered form only. The Equipment Notes shall be issued in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof, except that one Equipment Note of each Series may be in an amount that is not an integral multiple of $1,000.

Each Equipment Note shall bear interest at the Debt Rate specified for such Series calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days comprised of twelve 30-day months, payable in arrears on each Payment Date on the unpaid principal amount thereof from time to time outstanding from the most recent Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or, if no interest has been so paid or provided for, from the date of issuance of such Equipment Note) until such principal amount is paid in full, as further provided in the form of Equipment Note set forth in Section 2.01. The principal amount of each Series AA Equipment Note, each Series A Equipment Note, each Series B Equipment Note and each Additional Series Equipment Note (if issued) shall be payable in installments or in a single payment on the Payment Dates set forth in Schedule I to such Equipment Note, each such installment, if any, to be in an amount computed by

multiplying the original principal amount of such Equipment Note by the corresponding percentage set forth in Schedule I hereto (as, in the case of any Equipment Notes issued after the Closing Date, such Schedule I may be amended in connection with such issuance) applicable to such Series, the applicable portion of which shall be attached as Schedule I to such Equipment Note, opposite the Payment Date on which such installment is due. Each Additional Series Equipment Note, if issued, shall be payable in installments or in a single payment as set forth in an amendment to this Indenture, and if payable in installments, such installments shall be calculated as set forth in the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final payment made under each Equipment Note shall be in an amount sufficient to discharge in full the unpaid principal amount and all accrued and unpaid interest on, and any other amounts due under, such Equipment Note. Each Equipment Note shall bear interest, payable on demand, at the Past Due Rate (and not at the Debt Rate) (calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days comprised of twelve 30-day months) on any principal amount and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) Make-Whole Amount, if any, interest and any other amounts payable thereunder not paid when due for any period during which the same shall be overdue, in each case for the period the same is overdue. Amounts shall be overdue under an Equipment Note if not paid in the manner provided therein or in this Indenture when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any date on which a payment hereunder or under any Equipment Note becomes due and payable is not a Business Day, then such payment shall not be made on such scheduled date but shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such scheduled date, and if such payment is made on such next succeeding Business Day, no interest shall accrue on the amount of such payment from and after such scheduled date.

The Equipment Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Company by the manual or facsimile signature of one of its authorized officers. Equipment Notes bearing the signatures of individuals who were at the time of execution the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Equipment Notes or did not hold such offices at the respective dates of such Equipment Notes. No Equipment Note shall be secured by or entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purposes unless there appears on such Equipment Note a certificate of authentication in the form provided herein executed by the Loan Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers, and such certificate upon any Equipment Notes shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Equipment Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 2.03. Method of Payment. The principal amount of, interest on, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and, except to the extent expressly provided herein, all other amounts due under each Equipment Note or otherwise payable hereunder shall be

payable by the Company in Dollars by wire transfer of immediately available funds not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the due date of payment to the Loan Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office for distribution among the Noteholders in the manner provided herein, and payment of such amount by the Company to the Loan Trustee shall be deemed to satisfy the Company’s obligation to make such payment. The Company shall not have any responsibility for the distribution of such payment to any Noteholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision in any Equipment Note to the contrary, the Loan Trustee will use reasonable efforts to pay or cause to be paid, if so directed in writing by any Noteholder (with a copy to the Company), all amounts paid by the Company hereunder and under such Noteholder’s Equipment Note or Equipment Notes to such Noteholder or a nominee therefor (including all amounts distributed pursuant to Article III) by transferring, or causing to be transferred, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in Dollars, prior to 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the due date of payment, to an account maintained by such Noteholder with a bank located in the continental United States the amount to be distributed to such Noteholder, for credit to the account of such Noteholder maintained at such bank; provided that, in the event the Equipment Notes are not held by the Subordination Agent on behalf of the Pass Through Trustees, the Loan Trustee shall, unless instructed by the Company to use another method, pay such amounts by check mailed to the Noteholder’s address as it appears on the Equipment Note Register. If, after its receipt of funds at the place and prior to the time specified above in the immediately preceding sentence, the Loan Trustee shall fail (other than as a result of a failure of the Noteholder to provide it with wire transfer instructions) to make any such payment required to be paid by wire transfer as provided in the immediately preceding sentence on the Business Day it receives such funds, the Loan Trustee, in its individual capacity and not as trustee, agrees to compensate such Noteholders for loss of use of funds at the Federal Funds Rate until such payment is made and the Loan Trustee shall be entitled to any interest earned on such funds until such payment is made. Any payment made hereunder shall be made without any presentment or surrender of any Equipment Note, except that, in the case of the final payment in respect of any Equipment Note, such Equipment Note shall be surrendered to the Loan Trustee for cancellation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture to the contrary, the Loan Trustee shall not be required to make, or cause to be made, wire transfers as aforesaid prior to the first Business Day on which it is practicable for the Loan Trustee to do so in view of the time of day when the funds to be so transferred were received by it if such funds were received after 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at the place of payment, in which case the Loan Trustee shall make such required payment on the next succeeding Business Day. So long as any signatory to the Participation Agreement or nominee thereof shall be a registered Noteholder, all payments to it shall be made to the account of such Noteholder specified in Schedule I to the Participation Agreement, or otherwise in the manner provided in or pursuant to the Participation Agreement, unless it shall have specified some other account or manner of payment by notice to the Loan Trustee consistent with this Section 2.03.

Section 2.04. Withholding Taxes. The Loan Trustee shall exclude and withhold at the appropriate rate from each payment of principal amount of, interest on, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and other amounts due hereunder or under each Equipment Note (which exclusion and withholding shall constitute payment of such amounts payable hereunder or in respect of such Equipment Notes, as applicable) any and all withholding taxes applicable thereto as required by law. The Loan Trustee agrees to act as such withholding agent and, in connection therewith, whenever any present or future taxes or similar charges are required to be withheld with respect to any amounts payable hereunder or in respect of the Equipment Notes, to withhold such amounts (which withholding shall constitute payment of such amounts payable hereunder or in respect of such Equipment Notes, as applicable) and timely pay the same to the appropriate authority in the name of and on behalf of the Noteholders, that it will file any necessary withholding tax returns or statements when due, and that as promptly as possible after the payment thereof it will deliver to each Noteholder (with a copy to the Company) appropriate documentation showing the payment thereof, together with such additional documentary evidence as any such Noteholder may reasonably request from time to time. The Loan Trustee agrees to file any other information reports as it may be required to file under United States law.

Section 2.05. Application of Payments. Subject always to Section 2.13 and except as otherwise provided in Article III, in the case of each Equipment Note, each payment of an installment of principal amount, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest paid thereon shall be applied:

first, to the payment of accrued interest on such Equipment Note (as well as any interest on (i) any overdue principal amount, and (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, any overdue Make-Whole Amount, if any, any overdue interest and any other overdue amounts thereunder) to the date of such payment;

second, to the payment of Make-Whole Amount, if any, with respect to such Equipment Note;

third, to the payment of the principal amount of such Equipment Note (or portion thereof) then due thereunder, if any; and

fourth, the balance, if any, remaining thereafter to the payment of installments of the principal amount of such Equipment Note (or portion thereof) remaining unpaid in the inverse order of their maturity.

Section 2.06. Termination of Interest in Collateral. No Noteholder or Indenture Indemnitee shall, as such, have any further interest in, or other right with respect to, the Collateral when and if the principal amount of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest (including, to the extent permitted by applicable law, post-petition interest and interest on any overdue amounts) due on and all other amounts due under all Equipment Notes held by such Noteholder and all other sums then due and payable to such Noteholder or Indenture Indemnitee, as the case may be, hereunder (including, without limitation, under Section 2.14) and under the Participation Agreement by the Company (the “Secured Obligations”) have been paid in full.

Subject to Section 10.01 hereof, no Related Indenture Indemnitee shall, as such, have any further interest in, or other right with respect to, the Collateral when and if all Related Secured Obligations have been paid in full.

Section 2.07. Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Equipment Notes. The Loan Trustee shall keep a register or registers (the “Equipment Note Register”) in which the Loan Trustee shall provide for the registration of Equipment Notes and the registration of transfers of Equipment Notes. No such transfer shall be given effect unless and until registration hereunder shall have occurred. The Equipment Note Register shall be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Loan Trustee. The Loan Trustee is hereby appointed “Equipment Note Registrar” for the purpose of registering Equipment Notes and transfers of Equipment Notes as herein provided. A holder of any Equipment Note intending to exchange or transfer such Equipment Note shall surrender such Equipment Note to the Loan Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office, together with a written request from the registered holder thereof for the issuance of a new Equipment Note of the same Series, specifying, in the case of a surrender for transfer, the name and address of the new holder or holders. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Equipment Note and subject to satisfaction of Section 2.09, the Company shall execute, and the Loan Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Equipment Notes of an equal aggregate principal amount and of the same Series. At the option of the Noteholder, Equipment Notes may be exchanged for other Equipment Notes of the same Series of any authorized denominations of an equal aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Equipment Notes to be exchanged to the Loan Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office. Whenever any Equipment Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Loan Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Equipment Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. All Equipment Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Equipment Notes (whether under this Section 2.07 or under Section 2.08 or otherwise under this Indenture) shall be the valid obligations of the Company evidencing the same respective obligations, and entitled to the same security and benefits under this Indenture, as the Equipment Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. Every Equipment Note presented or surrendered for

registration of transfer shall (if so required by the Company or the Loan Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Loan Trustee, duly executed by the Noteholder or such Noteholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and the Company and the Loan Trustee shall require evidence satisfactory to it as to the compliance of any such transfer with the Securities Act and the securities laws of any applicable state or jurisdiction. The Loan Trustee shall make a notation on each new Equipment Note of the amount of all payments of principal amount previously made on the old Equipment Note or Equipment Notes with respect to which such new Equipment Note is issued and the date to which interest on such old Equipment Note or Equipment Notes has been paid. Principal, interest and all other amounts shall be deemed to have been paid on such new Equipment Note to the date on which such amounts shall have been paid on such old Equipment Note. The Company shall not be required to exchange any surrendered Equipment Notes as provided above (a) during the ten-day period preceding the due date of any payment on such Equipment Note or (b) that has been called for redemption. The Company and the Loan Trustee shall in all cases deem and treat the Person in whose name any Equipment Note shall have been issued and registered on the Equipment Note Register as the absolute owner and the Noteholder of such Equipment Note for the purpose of receiving payment of all amounts payable with respect to such Equipment Note and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Loan Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. The Loan Trustee will promptly notify the Company of each registration of a transfer of an Equipment Note. Any such transferee of an Equipment Note, by its acceptance of an Equipment Note, agrees to the provisions of the Indenture, the Related Indentures, the Participation Agreement, the other Operative Documents and the Pass Through Documents applicable to the Noteholders or, in the case of each Related Indenture, Related Noteholders, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any such transferee of an Equipment Note, by its acceptance of an Equipment Note: (i) agrees to the applicable provisions of Section 6.01, Section 7.10 and Section 7.11 of the Participation Agreement, and shall be deemed to have represented, warranted and covenanted to the parties to the Participation Agreement as to the matters represented, warranted and covenanted by the Noteholders, including the Pass Through Trustees, in the Participation Agreement and (ii) agrees to the restrictions set forth in Section 4.01(a)(ii) and Section 4.01(a)(iii) of the Intercreditor Agreement, and shall be deemed to have covenanted to the parties to the Intercreditor Agreement not to give any direction to, or otherwise authorize, the Loan Trustee to take any action that would violate Section 4.01(a)(ii) or Section 4.01(a)(iii) of the Intercreditor Agreement. Subject to compliance by the Noteholder and its transferee (if any) of the requirements set forth in this Section 2.07 and in Section 2.09, the Loan Trustee and the Company shall use all reasonable efforts to issue new Equipment Notes upon transfer or exchange within ten Business Days of the date an Equipment Note is surrendered for transfer or exchange.

Section 2.08. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Equipment Notes. If any Equipment Note becomes mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company shall, upon the written request of the holder of such Equipment Note and subject to satisfaction of this Section 2.08 and of Section 2.09, execute and the Loan Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in replacement thereof a new Equipment Note of the same Series, payable in the same principal amount, dated the same date and captioned as issued in connection with the Aircraft. If the Equipment Note being replaced has become mutilated, such Equipment Note shall be surrendered to the Loan Trustee, and a photocopy thereof shall be furnished to the Company. If the Equipment Note being replaced has been destroyed, lost or stolen, the holder of such Equipment Note shall furnish to the Company and the Loan Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save the Company and the Loan Trustee harmless and evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Loan Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft of such Equipment Note and of the ownership thereof.

Section 2.09. Payment of Expenses on Transfer; Cancellation. (a) No service charge shall be made to a Noteholder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Equipment Notes, but the Loan Trustee, as Equipment Note Registrar, may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any Tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Equipment Notes.

(b) The Loan Trustee shall cancel all Equipment Notes surrendered for replacement, redemption, transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation, shall keep a copy of such cancelled Equipment Notes, and shall send the original canceled Equipment Notes marked “cancelled” to the Company.

Section 2.10. Mandatory Redemption of Equipment Notes. The Company shall redeem the Equipment Notes in whole in connection with an Event of Loss in respect of the Airframe or the Airframe and the Engines installed thereon (unless the Company shall have performed the option set forth in Section 7.05(a)(i) with respect thereto) on or before the Loss Payment Date at a redemption price equal to 100% of the unpaid principal amount thereof, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon to (but excluding) the date of redemption, but without any Make-Whole Amount, and all other Secured Obligations owed or then due and payable to the Noteholders.

Section 2.11. Voluntary Redemption of Equipment Notes.

(b) All of the Series A Equipment Notes, all of the Series B Equipment Notes or all of any series of Additional Series Equipment Notes (or any combination of the foregoing) may be redeemed by the Company upon at least 15 days’ revocable prior written notice to the Loan Trustee and the Noteholders of each Series to be redeemed, and such Series of Equipment Notes being redeemed pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) shall be redeemed in whole at a redemption price equal to 100% of the unpaid principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to (but excluding) the date of redemption and all other Secured Obligations owed or then due and payable to the Noteholders of such Series, plus Make-Whole Amount, if any; provided that:

(i) no redemption shall be permitted under this Section 2.11(b) unless, simultaneously with such redemption, the Related Series A Equipment Notes (in the case of redemption hereunder of Series A Equipment Notes), the Related Series B Equipment Notes (in the case of redemption hereunder of Series B Equipment Notes) or the Related Additional Series Equipment Notes in respect of the Additional Series Equipment Notes being redeemed (in the case of redemption hereunder of any series of Additional Series Equipment Notes), as the case may be, shall also be redeemed; and

(ii) if, simultaneously with such redemption, new Series A Equipment Notes (in the case of redemption hereunder of Series A Equipment Notes), new Series B Equipment Notes (in the case of redemption hereunder of Series B Equipment Notes) or a new series of Additional Series Equipment Notes of the same series designation as the Additional Series Equipment Notes being redeemed (in the case of redemption hereunder of a series of Additional Series Equipment Notes), which, in any such case, may have terms that may be the same as or different from those of the redeemed Equipment Notes, are being issued, such new Equipment Notes shall be issued in accordance with Section 2.02 of the Participation Agreement, Section 4(a)(v) of the Note Purchase Agreement and Section 8.01(c) of the Intercreditor Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.11(a) or (b), so long as the Company or any of its Affiliates beneficially owns 100% of the Pass Through Certificates issued by any Pass Through Trustee, the redemption price shall not include, and no Noteholder shall have any right to otherwise claim, any Make-Whole Amount with respect to the Series of Equipment Notes issued to the Subordination Agent for the benefit of such Pass Through Trustee.

Section 2.12. Redemptions; Notice of Redemptions; Repurchases. (a) No redemption of any Equipment Note may be made except to the extent and in the manner expressly permitted by this Indenture. The Company may at any time repurchase any of the Equipment Notes not held by the Subordination Agent at any price and may hold or resell such Equipment Notes or surrender such Equipment Notes to the Loan Trustee for cancellation.

(b) Notice of redemption with respect to the Equipment Notes shall be given by the Loan Trustee by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 15 nor more than 60 days prior to the applicable redemption date, to each Noteholder of such Equipment Notes to be redeemed, at such Noteholder’s address appearing in the Equipment Note Register; provided that such notice shall be revocable by written notice from the Company to the Loan Trustee given no later than three days prior to the redemption date. All such notices of redemption shall state: (1) the redemption date, (2) the applicable basis for determining the redemption price, (3) that on the redemption date, the redemption price will become due and payable upon each such Equipment Note, and that, if any such Equipment Notes are then outstanding, interest on such Equipment Notes shall cease to accrue on and after such redemption date and (4) the place or places where such Equipment Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price.

(c) On or before the redemption date, the Company (or any person on behalf of the Company) shall, to the extent an amount equal to the redemption price for the Equipment Notes to be redeemed on the redemption date shall not then be held in the Collateral, deposit or cause to be deposited with the Loan Trustee by 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the redemption date in immediately available funds the redemption price of the Equipment Notes to be redeemed.

(d) Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid (and not revoked as permitted by this Section 2.12), the Equipment Notes to be redeemed shall, on the redemption date, become due and payable at the Corporate Trust Office of the Loan Trustee, and from and after such redemption date (unless there shall be a default in the deposit of the redemption price pursuant to Section 2.12(c)) any such Equipment Notes then outstanding shall cease to bear interest.

The Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, (i) any amounts to be held by the Loan Trustee pursuant to subclause (xi) of clause “third” of Section 3.03 and any investment earnings thereon or other Permitted Investments in which such amounts are invested will be credited to an Eligible Account (the “Securities Account”) for which it is a “securities intermediary” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(14) of the NY UCC) and the Loan Trustee is the “entitlement holder” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(7) of the NY UCC) of the “security entitlement” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(17) of the NY UCC) with respect to each “financial asset” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(9) of the NY UCC) credited to such Eligible Account, (ii) all such amounts, Permitted Investments and all other property acquired with cash credited to the Securities Account will be credited to the Securities Account, (iii) all items of property (whether cash, investment property, Permitted Investments, other investments, securities, instruments or other property) credited to the Securities Account will be treated as a “financial asset” under Article 8 of the NY UCC, (iv) its “securities intermediary’s jurisdiction” (as defined in Section 8-110(e) of the NY UCC) with respect to the Securities Account is the State of New York, and (v) all securities, instruments and other property in order or registered form and credited to the Securities Account shall be payable to or to the order of, or registered in the name of, the Securities Intermediary or shall be indorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank, and in no case whatsoever shall any financial asset credited to the Securities Account be registered in the name of the Company, payable to or to the order of the Company or specially indorsed to the Company except to the extent the foregoing have been specially indorsed by the Company to the Securities Intermediary or in blank. The Loan Trustee agrees that it will hold (and will indicate clearly in its books and records that it holds) its “security entitlements” to the “financial assets” credited to the Securities Account in trust for the benefit of the Noteholders, each Indenture Indemnitee and each Related Indenture Indemnitee as set forth in this Indenture. The Company acknowledges that, by reason of the Loan Trustee being the “entitlement holder” in respect of the Securities Account as provided above, the Loan Trustee shall have the sole right and discretion, subject only to the terms of this Indenture, to give all “entitlement orders” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the NY UCC) with respect to the Securities Account and any and all

financial assets and other property credited thereto to the exclusion of the Company. If any Person asserts any Lien (including, without limitation, any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process) against the Securities Account or any financial asset carried therein, WTC will promptly notify the Loan Trustee and the Company thereof.

Section 4.01. Events of Default. Subject to the proviso at the end of this Section 4.01, each of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default” whether such event shall be voluntary or involuntary or shall come about or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to or in compliance with any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body and each such Event of Default shall be deemed to exist and continue so long as, but only as long as, it shall not have been remedied or explicitly waived:

(a) the Company shall fail to make any payment within 15 days after the same shall have become due of principal amount of, interest on, or Make-Whole Amount, if any, with respect to, any Equipment Note;

(b) the Company shall fail to make payment when the same shall become due of any amount (other than amounts referred to in Section 4.01(a)) due hereunder, under any Equipment Note or under any other Operative Document, and such failure shall continue unremedied for 30 days after the receipt by the Company of written notice thereof from the Loan Trustee or any Noteholder;

(c) the Company shall fail to carry and maintain (or cause to be maintained) insurance or indemnity on or with respect to the Aircraft in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.06; provided that no such failure to carry and maintain insurance shall constitute an Event of Default until the earlier of (i) the date such failure shall have continued unremedied for a period of 30 days after receipt by the Loan Trustee of the notice of cancellation or lapse referred to in Section 7.06 or (ii) the date such insurance is not in effect as to the Loan Trustee;

(d) the Company shall fail to perform or observe any other covenant, condition or agreement to be performed or observed by it under any Operative Document, and such failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 60 days after receipt by the Company of written notice thereof from the Loan Trustee or any Noteholder; provided that, if such failure is capable of being remedied, no such failure shall constitute an Event of Default for a period of one year after such notice is received by the Company so long as the Company is diligently proceeding to remedy such failure;

(e) any representation or warranty made by the Company in any Operative Document shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect at the time made, and such incorrectness shall continue to be material to the transactions contemplated hereby and shall continue unremedied for a period of 60 days after receipt by the Company of written notice thereof from the Loan Trustee or any Noteholder; provided that, if such incorrectness is capable of being remedied, no such incorrectness shall constitute an Event of Default for a period of one year after such notice is received by the Company so long as the Company is diligently proceeding to remedy such incorrectness;

(f) the Company shall consent to the appointment of or the taking of possession by a receiver, trustee or liquidator of itself or of a substantial part of its property, shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they come due or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors;

(h) an order, judgment or decree shall be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction appointing, without the consent of the Company, a receiver, trustee or liquidator of the Company or sequestering any substantial part of its property, or granting any other relief in respect of the Company as a debtor under any bankruptcy laws or insolvency laws (as in effect at such time), and any such order, judgment or decree of appointment or sequestration shall remain in force undismissed, unstayed or unvacated for a period of 90 days after the date of entry thereof;

(i) a petition against the Company as a debtor in a case under the federal bankruptcy laws or other insolvency laws (as in effect at such time) is filed and not withdrawn or dismissed within 90 days thereafter, or if, under the provisions of any law providing for reorganization or winding-up of corporations that may apply to the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction assumes jurisdiction, custody or control of the Company or of any substantial part of its property and such jurisdiction, custody or control shall remain in force unrelinquished, unstayed or unterminated for a period of 90 days; or

(j) an “Event of Default” (as defined in any Related Indenture) shall have occurred and be continuing;

provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.01, any failure of the Company to perform or observe any covenant, condition or agreement shall not constitute an Event of Default if such failure arises by reason of an event referred to in the definition of “Event of Loss” so long as the Company is continuing to comply with all of the terms of Section 7.05.

Section 4.02. Remedies. (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and so long as the same shall continue unremedied, then and in every such case the Loan Trustee may, and upon the written instructions of a Majority in Interest of Noteholders, the Loan Trustee shall, do one or more of the following to the extent permitted by, and subject to compliance with the requirements of, applicable law then in effect (provided that during any period the Airframe or any Engine is subject to the CRAF Program and is in possession of or being operated under the direction of the United States government or an agency or instrumentality of the United States, the Loan Trustee shall not, on account of any Event of Default, be entitled to exercise or pursue any of the powers, rights or remedies described in this Section 4.02 in such manner as to limit the Company’s control under this Indenture (or any Permitted Lessee’s control under any Lease) of the Airframe, any Engines installed thereon or any such Engine, unless at least 60 days’ (or such lesser period as may then be applicable under the CRAF Program of the United States government) prior written notice of default hereunder shall have been given by the Loan Trustee by registered or certified mail to the Company (and any such Permitted Lessee) with a copy addressed to the Contracting Office Representative or other appropriate person for the Air Mobility Command of the United States Air Force under any contract with the Company or such Permitted Lessee relating to the Aircraft):

(i) declare by written notice to the Company all the Equipment Notes to be due and payable, whereupon the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Equipment Notes then outstanding, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts due thereunder (but for the avoidance of doubt, without Make-Whole Amount), shall immediately become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice, all of which are hereby waived; provided that if an Event of Default referred to in Section 4.01(f),

Section 4.01(g), Section 4.01(h) or Section 4.01(i) shall have occurred and be continuing, then and in every such case the unpaid principal amount of the Equipment Notes then outstanding, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts due thereunder (but for the avoidance of doubt, without Make-Whole Amount), shall immediately and without further act become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or notice, all of which are hereby waived; and, following such declaration or deemed declaration:

(ii) (A) cause the Company, upon the written demand of the Loan Trustee, at the Company’s expense, to deliver promptly, and the Company shall deliver promptly, all or such part of the Airframe or any Engine as the Loan Trustee may so demand to the Loan Trustee or its order, or, if the Company shall have failed to so deliver the Airframe or any Engine after such demand, the Loan Trustee, at its option, may enter upon the premises where all or any part of the Airframe or any Engine are located and take immediate possession of and remove the same together with any engine which is not an Engine but which is installed on the Airframe, subject to all of the rights of the owner, lessor, lienor or secured party of such engine; provided that the Airframe with an engine (which is not an Engine) installed thereon may be flown or returned only to a location within the continental United States, and such engine shall be held at the expense of the Company for the account of any such owner, lessor, lienor, secured party or, if such engine is owned by the Company, may at the option of the Company with the consent of the Loan Trustee (which will not be unreasonably withheld) or at the option of the Loan Trustee with the consent of the Company (which will not be unreasonably withheld), be exchanged with the Company for an Engine in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.05(b); (B) sell all or any part of the Airframe and any Engine at public or private sale, whether or not the Loan Trustee shall at the time have possession thereof, as the Loan Trustee may determine, or otherwise dispose of, hold, use, operate, lease to others or keep idle all or any part of the Airframe or such Engine as the Loan Trustee, in its sole discretion, determines, all free and clear of any rights or claims of the Company, and the proceeds of such sale or disposition shall be applied as set forth in Section 3.03; or (C) exercise any other remedy of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York (whether or not in effect in the jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought); provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in any other Operative Document, (i) as permitted by Article 15 of the Cape Town Convention, the provisions of Chapter III of the Cape Town Convention are hereby excluded and made inapplicable to this Indenture and the other Operative Documents, except for those provisions of such Chapter III that cannot be derogated from; and (ii) as permitted by Article IV(3) of the Aircraft Protocol, the provisions of Chapter II of

the Aircraft Protocol are hereby excluded and made inapplicable to this Indenture and the other Operative Documents, except for (x) Article XVI of the Aircraft Protocol and (y) those provisions of such Chapter II that cannot be derogated from. In furtherance of the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that the exercise of remedies hereunder and the other Operative Documents is subject to other applicable law, including without limitation, the NY UCC and the Bankruptcy Code, and that nothing herein derogates from the rights of the Company or the Loan Trustee under or pursuant to such other applicable law, including without limitation, the NY UCC or the Bankruptcy Code.

Upon every such taking of possession of Collateral under this Section 4.02, the Loan Trustee may, from time to time, at the expense of the Collateral, make all such expenditures for maintenance, insurance, repairs, alterations, additions and improvements to and of the Collateral as it deems necessary to cause the Collateral to be in such condition as required by the provisions of this Indenture. In each such case, the Loan Trustee may maintain, use, operate, store, insure, lease, control, manage or dispose of the Collateral and may exercise all rights and powers of the Company relating to the Collateral as the Loan Trustee reasonably deems best, including the right to enter into any and all such agreements with respect to the maintenance, use, operation, storage, insurance, leasing, control, management or disposition of the Collateral or any part thereof as the Loan Trustee may reasonably determine; and the Loan Trustee shall be entitled to collect and receive directly all tolls, rents, revenues, issues, income, products and profits of the Collateral and every part thereof, without prejudice, however, to the rights of the Loan Trustee under any provision of this Indenture to collect and receive all cash held by, or required to be deposited with, the Loan Trustee hereunder. Such tolls, rents, revenues, issues, income, products and profits shall be applied to pay the expenses of the use, operation, storage, insurance, leasing, control, management or disposition of the Collateral, and of all maintenance, repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and improvements, and to make all payments that the Loan Trustee is required or elects to make, if any, for Taxes, insurance or other proper charges assessed against or otherwise imposed upon the Collateral or any part thereof, and all other payments which the Loan Trustee is required or expressly authorized to make under any provision of this Indenture, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of the Loan Trustee, and shall otherwise be applied in accordance with Article III.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Equipment Notes shall either have been accelerated pursuant to this Section 4.02 or have become due at maturity and the Loan Trustee shall be entitled to exercise rights hereunder, at the request of the Loan Trustee, the Company shall promptly execute and deliver to the Loan Trustee such instruments of title and other documents as the Loan Trustee reasonably deems necessary or advisable to enable the Loan Trustee or an agent or representative designated by the Loan Trustee, at such time or times and place or places as the Loan

Trustee may specify, to obtain possession of all or any part of the Collateral to which the Loan Trustee shall at the time be entitled hereunder. If the Company shall for any reason fail to execute and deliver such instruments and documents after such request by the Loan Trustee, the Loan Trustee may seek a judgment conferring on the Loan Trustee the right to immediate possession and requiring the Company to execute and deliver such instruments and documents to the Loan Trustee, to the entry of which judgment the Company hereby specifically consents to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so. All actual and reasonable expenses of obtaining such judgment or of pursuing, searching for and taking such property shall, until paid, be secured by the Lien of this Indenture.

(b) The Loan Trustee shall give the Company at least 30 days’ prior written notice of any public sale or of the date on or after which any private sale will be held, which notice the Company hereby agrees to the extent permitted by applicable law is reasonable notice. Any Noteholder or Noteholders shall be entitled to bid for and become the purchaser of any Collateral offered for sale pursuant to this Section 4.02 and to credit against the purchase price bid at such sale by such Noteholders all or any part of the unpaid amounts owing to such Noteholders under the Operative Documents and secured by the Lien of this Indenture (but only to the extent that such purchase price would have been paid to such Noteholders pursuant to Article III if such purchase price were paid in cash and the foregoing provision of this Section 4.02(b) were not given effect). The Loan Trustee may exercise such right without possession or production of the Equipment Notes or proof of ownership thereof, and as a representative of the Noteholders may exercise such right without notice to the Noteholders as party to any suit or proceeding relating to the foreclosure of any Collateral. The Company shall also be entitled to bid for and become the purchaser of any Collateral offered for sale pursuant to this Section 4.02.

(c) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company irrevocably appoints, while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Loan Trustee the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the Company (which appointment is coupled with an interest) in its name and stead and on its behalf, for the purpose of effectuating any sale, assignment, transfer or delivery for the enforcement of the Lien of this Indenture, whether pursuant to foreclosure or power of sale, or otherwise, to execute and deliver all such bills of sale, assignments and other instruments as may be necessary or appropriate, with full power of substitution, the Company hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney or any substitute shall do by virtue hereof in accordance with applicable law; provided that if so requested by the Loan Trustee or any purchaser, the Company shall ratify and confirm any such sale, assignment, transfer or delivery, by executing and delivering to the Loan Trustee or such purchaser all bills of sale, assignments, releases and other proper instruments to effect such ratification and confirmation as may reasonably be designated in any such request.

(d) At any time after the Loan Trustee has declared the unpaid principal amount of all Equipment Notes then outstanding to be due and payable, or all Equipment Notes shall have become due and payable as provided in the proviso to Section 4.02(a)(i), and, in either case, prior to the sale of any part of the Collateral pursuant to this Article IV, a Majority in Interest of Noteholders, by written notice to the Company and the Loan Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration, whether made by the Loan Trustee on its own accord or as directed or deemed declaration, and its consequences if: (i) there has been paid to or deposited with the Loan Trustee an amount sufficient to pay all overdue installments of principal amount of, and interest on, the Equipment Notes, and all other amounts owing under the Operative Documents, that have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and (ii) all other Events of Default, other than nonpayment of principal amount or interest on the Equipment Notes that have become due solely because of such acceleration, have been either cured or waived; provided that no such rescission or annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

(e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein, (i) so long as the Pass Through Trustee under any Pass Through Trust Agreement or the Subordination Agent on its behalf is a Noteholder, the Loan Trustee will not be authorized or empowered to acquire title to any Collateral or take any action with respect to any Collateral so acquired by it if such acquisition or action would cause any Pass Through Trust to fail to qualify as a “grantor trust” for federal income tax purposes, and (ii) the Loan Trustee will not take any action that would violate Section 4.01(a)(ii) or Section 4.01(a)(iii) of the Intercreditor Agreement.

Section 4.03. Remedies Cumulative. To the extent permitted under applicable law, each and every right, power and remedy specifically given to the Loan Trustee herein or otherwise in this Indenture shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy specifically given herein or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically given herein or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Loan Trustee, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy. No delay or omission by the Loan Trustee in the exercise of any right, remedy or power or in the pursuance of any remedy shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any default on the part of the Company or to be an acquiescence therein.

Section 4.04. Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case the Loan Trustee shall have instituted any proceedings to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Indenture by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Loan Trustee, then and in every such case the Company and the Loan Trustee shall, subject to any determination in such proceedings, be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Loan Trustee shall continue as if no such proceedings had been undertaken (but otherwise without prejudice).

Section 4.05. Waiver of Past Defaults. Upon written instruction from a Majority in Interest of Noteholders, the Loan Trustee shall waive any past default hereunder and its consequences, and upon any such waiver such default shall cease to exist and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture and the other Operative Documents, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon; provided that in the absence of written instructions from each of the affected Noteholders, the Loan Trustee shall not waive any default (i) in the payment of the principal amount, Make-Whole Amount, if any, or interest due under any Equipment Note then outstanding (other than with the consent of the holder thereof), or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which, under Article IX, cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each such affected Noteholder.

Section 4.06. Noteholders May Not Bring Suit Except Under Certain Conditions. A Noteholder of any Series shall not have the right to institute any suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity or otherwise with respect to this Indenture for the appointment of a receiver or for the enforcement of any other remedy under this Indenture, unless:

(1) such Noteholder previously shall have given written notice to the Loan Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;

(2) a Majority in Interest of Noteholders shall have requested the Loan Trustee in writing to institute such action, suit or proceeding and shall have offered to the Loan Trustee indemnity as provided in Section 5.03;

(3) the Loan Trustee shall have refused or neglected to institute any such action, suit or proceeding for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity; and

(4) no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Loan Trustee during such 60-day period by a Majority in Interest of Noteholders.

Except to the extent provided in the Intercreditor Agreement or in any Indenture Supplement, it is understood and intended that no one or more of the Noteholders of any Series shall have any right in any manner whatsoever hereunder or under the Indenture Supplement or under the Equipment Notes of such Series to (i) surrender, impair, waive, affect, disturb or prejudice any Collateral, or the Lien of the Indenture on any Collateral, or the rights of the Noteholders of such Series, (ii) obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference with respect to any other such Noteholder of such Series or (iii) enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner provided in this Indenture and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all the Noteholders of such Series subject to the provisions of this Indenture.

Section 4.07. Appointment of a Receiver. To the extent permitted by applicable law, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and the Equipment Notes either shall have been accelerated pursuant to Section 4.02 or have become due at maturity, the Loan Trustee shall, as a matter of right, be entitled to the appointment of a receiver (who may be the Loan Trustee or any successor or nominee thereof) for all or any part of the Collateral, whether such receivership be incidental to a proposed sale of the Collateral or the taking of possession thereof or otherwise, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company hereby consents to the appointment of such a receiver and will not oppose any such appointment. Any receiver appointed for all or any part of the Collateral shall be entitled to exercise all the rights and powers of the Loan Trustee with respect to the Collateral.

Section 5.01. Notice of Event of Default. If the Loan Trustee shall have knowledge of an Event of Default or of a default arising from a failure by the Company to pay when due any payment of principal amount, interest, or Make-Whole Amount, if any, due and payable under any Equipment Note, the Loan Trustee shall promptly give notice thereof to the Company, each Liquidity Provider and each Noteholder by telegram, cable, facsimile or telephone (to be promptly confirmed in writing). Subject to the terms of Section 4.02, Section 4.05, Section 5.02 and Section 5.03, the Loan Trustee shall take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such default or Event of Default (including with respect to the exercise of any rights or remedies hereunder) as the Loan Trustee shall be instructed in writing by a Majority in Interest of Noteholders. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.03, if the Loan Trustee shall not have received instructions as above provided within 20 Business Days after giving notice of such default or Event of Default to the Noteholders, the Loan Trustee may, subject to instructions thereafter received pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 5.01, take such action, or refrain from taking such action with respect to such default or Event

of Default as it shall reasonably determine to be advisable and in the best interests of the Noteholders, but shall be under no duty to take or refrain from taking any action. The Loan Trustee shall use the same degree of care and skill in connection therewith as a prudent person would use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs. The Loan Trustee may not sell the Airframe or any Engine without the consent of a Majority in Interest of Noteholders.

For all purposes of this Indenture, in the absence of actual knowledge, the Loan Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a default or an Event of Default unless notified in writing by the Company or one or more Noteholders; and “actual knowledge” (as used in the foregoing clause) of the Loan Trustee shall mean actual knowledge of an officer in the Corporate Trust Office of the Loan Trustee; provided that the Loan Trustee shall be deemed to have actual knowledge of (i) the failure of the Company to pay any principal amount of, or interest on, the Equipment Notes directly to the Loan Trustee when the same shall become due or (ii) the failure of the Company to maintain insurance as required under Section 7.06 if the Loan Trustee receives written notice thereof from an insurer or insurance broker.

Section 5.02. Action upon Instructions; Certain Rights and Limitations. Subject to the terms of Article IV and this Article V, upon the written instructions at any time of a Majority in Interest of Noteholders, the Loan Trustee shall promptly (i) give such notice, direction, consent, waiver or approval or exercise such right, remedy or power hereunder in respect of all or any part of the Collateral or (ii) take such other action permitted hereunder, in each case, as is specified in such instructions.

The Loan Trustee will cooperate with the Company in connection with the recording, filing, re-recording and refiling of the Indenture and any supplements to it and any financing statements or other documents as are necessary to maintain the perfection hereof or otherwise protect the security interests created hereby. The Loan Trustee shall furnish to the Company upon request such information and copies of such documents as the Loan Trustee may have and as are necessary for the Company to perform its duties under Article II hereof.

Section 5.03. Indemnification. The Loan Trustee shall not be required to take any action or refrain from taking any action under Section 5.01 (other than the first sentence thereof) or Section 5.02 or Article IV unless it shall have received indemnification against any risks incurred in connection therewith in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to it, including, without limitation, adequate advances against costs that may be actually incurred by it in connection therewith. The Loan Trustee shall not be required to take any action under Section 5.01 (other than the first sentence thereof) or Section 5.02 or Article IV, nor shall any other provision of any Operative Document be deemed to impose a duty on the Loan Trustee to take any action, if the Loan Trustee shall have been advised by outside counsel that such action is contrary to the terms hereof or is otherwise contrary to law.

Section 5.04. No Duties Except as Specified in Indenture or Instructions. The Loan Trustee shall not have any duty or obligation to manage, control, lease, use, sell, operate, store, dispose of or otherwise deal with the Aircraft or any other part of the Collateral, or to otherwise take or refrain from taking any action under, or in connection with, this Indenture, except as expressly provided by the terms of this Indenture or the Participation Agreement or as expressly provided in written instructions received pursuant to the terms of Section 5.01 or Section 5.02; and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Loan Trustee.

Section 5.05. No Action Except under Indenture or Instructions. The Loan Trustee agrees that it will not manage, control, use, sell, lease, operate, store, dispose of or otherwise deal with the Aircraft or any other part of the Collateral except in accordance with the powers granted to, or the authority conferred upon, the Loan Trustee pursuant to this Indenture and in accordance with the express terms hereof.

Section 5.06. Investment of Amounts Held by the Loan Trustee. Any monies (including for the purpose of this Section 5.06 any amounts held by the Loan Trustee pursuant to Section 3.02, Section 3.03 or Section 3.07 or pursuant to any provision of any other Operative Document providing for amounts to be held by the Loan Trustee which are not distributed pursuant to the other provisions of Article III, or any cash received by the Loan Trustee pursuant to Section 7.05(c) or Section 7.06(d) or otherwise, or Permitted Investments purchased by the use of such cash pursuant to this Section 5.06 or any cash constituting the proceeds of the maturity, sale or other disposition of any such Permitted Investments) held by the Loan Trustee hereunder as part of the Collateral, until paid out by the Loan Trustee as herein provided, (i) subject to clause (ii) below and Section 3.07, may be carried by the Loan Trustee on deposit with itself or on deposit to its account with any bank, trust company or national banking association incorporated or doing business under the laws of the United States or one of the states thereof having combined capital and surplus and retained earnings of at least $100,000,000, and the Loan Trustee shall not have any liability for interest upon any such monies except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Company, or (ii) at any time and from time to time, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at the request of the Company, shall be invested and reinvested in Permitted Investments as specified in such request (if such investments are reasonably available for purchase) and sold, in any case at such prices, including accrued interest or its equivalent, as are set forth in such request, and, as provided in Section 3.07, such Permitted Investments shall be held by the Loan Trustee in trust as part of the Collateral until so sold; provided that the Company shall upon demand pay to the Loan Trustee the amount of any loss realized upon maturity, sale or other disposition of any such Permitted Investment and, so long as no Event of Default

or Payment Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company shall be entitled to receive from the Loan Trustee, and the Loan Trustee shall promptly pay to the Company, any profit, income, interest, dividend or gain realized upon maturity, sale or other disposition of any Permitted Investment. All Permitted Investments held by the Loan Trustee pursuant to this Section 5.06 shall be held pursuant to Section 3.07. If an Event of Default or Payment Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any net income, profit, interest, dividend or gain realized upon maturity, sale or other disposition of any Permitted Investment shall be held as part of the Collateral and shall be applied by the Loan Trustee at the same time, on the same conditions and in the same manner as the amounts in respect of which such income, profit, interest, dividend or gain was realized are required to be distributed in accordance with the provisions hereof pursuant to which such amounts were required to be held. Subject to Section 3.03, at such time as there shall not be continuing any such Event of Default or Payment Default, such income, profit, interest, dividend or gain shall be paid to the Company. In addition, subject to Section 3.03, if any moneys or investments are held by the Loan Trustee solely because an Event of Default or Payment Default has occurred and is continuing, at such time as there shall not be continuing any such Event of Default or Payment Default, such moneys and investments shall be paid to the Company. The Loan Trustee shall not be responsible for any losses on any investments or sales of Permitted Investments made pursuant to the procedure specified in this Section 5.06 other than by reason of its willful misconduct or negligence.

Section 6.01. Acceptance of Trusts and Duties. WTC accepts the trusts and duties hereby created and applicable to it and agrees to perform such duties, but only upon the terms of this Indenture and agrees to receive, handle and disburse all monies received by it as Loan Trustee constituting part of the Collateral in accordance with the terms hereof. WTC shall have no liability hereunder except (a) for its own willful misconduct or negligence, (b) as provided in the fourth sentence of Section 2.03 and the last sentence of Section 5.06, (c) for liabilities that may result from the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of WTC in the Participation Agreement or expressly made hereunder and (d) as otherwise expressly provided in the Operative Documents.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Loan Trustee shall also be accountable in its capacity as Securities Intermediary with respect to the Security Account, as set forth in Section 3.07.

Section 6.02. Absence of Certain Duties.

As to any fact or matter the manner of ascertainment of which is not specifically described herein, the Loan Trustee may for all purposes hereof rely on a certificate, signed by a duly authorized officer of the Company, as to such fact or matter, and such certificate shall constitute full protection to the Loan Trustee for any action

Section 6.06. Instructions from Noteholders. In the administration of the trusts created hereunder, the Loan Trustee shall have the right to seek instructions from a Majority in Interest of Noteholders should any provision of this Indenture appear to conflict with any other provision herein or any other Operative Document or Pass Through Document or should the Loan Trustee’s duties or obligations hereunder be unclear, and the Loan Trustee shall incur no liability in refraining from acting until it receives such instructions.

(v) install, or permit any Permitted Lessee to install, an Engine on an airframe owned by the Company (or any Permitted Lessee) free and clear of all Liens, except (A) Permitted Liens and Liens that apply only to the engines (other than Engines), appliances, parts, instruments, appurtenances, accessories, furnishings and other equipment (other than Parts) installed on such airframe (but not to the airframe as an entirety) and (B) the rights of third parties under interchange agreements or pooling or similar arrangements that would be permitted under clause (i) above;

(vi) install, or permit any Permitted Lessee to install, an Engine on an airframe leased, purchased or owned by the Company (or any Permitted Lessee) subject to a lease, conditional sale and/or other security agreement; provided that (A) such airframe is free and clear of all Liens except (1) the rights of the parties to the lease or any conditional sale or security agreement covering such airframe, or their successors and assigns, and (2) Liens of the type permitted by clause (v) of this Section 7.02(a) and (B) either (1) the Company shall have obtained from the lessor, conditional vendor or secured party of such airframe a written agreement (which may be a copy of the lease, conditional sale or other security agreement covering such airframe), in form and substance satisfactory to the Loan Trustee (it being understood that an agreement from such lessor, conditional vendor or secured party substantially in the form of the penultimate paragraph of this Section 7.02(a) shall be deemed to be satisfactory to the Loan Trustee), whereby such lessor, conditional vendor or secured party expressly agrees that neither it nor its successors or assigns will acquire or claim any right, title or interest in such Engine by reason of such Engine being installed on such airframe at any time while such Engine is subject to the Lien of this Indenture or (2) such lease, conditional sale or other security agreement provides that such Engine shall not become subject to the Lien of such lease, conditional sale or other security agreement at any time while such Engine is subject to the Lien of this Indenture, notwithstanding the installation thereof on such airframe;

(vii) install, or permit any Permitted Lessee to install, an Engine on an airframe owned by the Company (or any Permitted Lessee), leased to the Company (or any Permitted Lessee) or purchased by the Company (or any Permitted Lessee) subject to a conditional sale or other security agreement under circumstances where neither clause (v) nor clause (vi) of this Section 7.02(a) is applicable; provided that such installation shall be deemed an Event of Loss with respect to such Engine, and the Company shall comply with Section 7.05(b) in respect thereof, if such installation shall adversely affect the Loan Trustee’s security interest in such Engine, the Loan Trustee not intending hereby to waive any right or interest it may have to or in such Engine under applicable law until compliance by the Company with Section 7.05(b);

(viii) lease such Engine or the Airframe and Engines to any United States air carrier as to which there is in force a certificate issued pursuant to the Transportation Code (49 U.S.C. §§41101-41112) or successor provision that gives like authority, or to any manufacturer of airframes or engines (or an Affiliate thereof acting under an unconditional guarantee of such manufacturer), so long as such manufacturer and, if applicable, such Affiliate is domiciled in the United States); provided that no Event of Default shall exist at the time any such lease is entered into; and

(ix) lease such Engine or the Airframe and Engines to (A) any foreign air carrier that is at the inception of the lease based in and a domiciliary of a country listed in Exhibit B hereto, (B) any foreign manufacturer of airframes or engines (or a foreign Affiliate of a United States or foreign manufacturer of airframes or engines acting under an unconditional guarantee of such manufacturer), so long as such foreign manufacturer or (if applicable) foreign Affiliate is domiciled in a country indicated with an asterisk on Exhibit B hereto, or (C) any foreign air carrier consented to in writing by the Loan Trustee with the consent of a Majority in Interest of Noteholders; provided that (x) in the case of a lease to, or guarantee by, any entity pursuant to this Section 7.02(a)(ix), (1) other than a foreign carrier principally based in Taiwan, the United States maintains diplomatic relations with the country in which such entity is based and domiciled at the time such lease is entered into, (2) no Event of Default exists at the time such lease is entered into and (3) such entity is not then subject to any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or similar proceeding and shall not have substantially all of its property in the possession of any liquidator, trustee, receiver or similar person, and (y) in the case of a lease to any foreign manufacturer or foreign Affiliate under clause (B) above, the re-registration conditions set forth in Section 7.02(e) shall be satisfied notwithstanding anything to the contrary in such clause (B);

provided that the rights of any lessee or other transferee who receives possession of the Aircraft, the Airframe or any Engine by reason of a transfer permitted by this Section 7.02(a) (other than the transfer of an Engine which is deemed an Event of Loss) shall be subject and subordinate to, and any permitted lease shall be made expressly subject and subordinate to, all the terms of this Indenture, including the Loan Trustee’s rights to repossess pursuant to Section 4.02 and to avoid such lease upon such repossession, and the Company shall remain primarily liable hereunder for the performance and observance of all of the terms and conditions of this Indenture to the same extent as if such lease or transfer had not occurred, any such lease shall include appropriate provisions for the maintenance and insurance of the Aircraft, the Airframe or such Engine, and no lease or transfer of possession otherwise in compliance with this Section shall (x) result in any registration or re-registration of the Aircraft except to the extent permitted in Section 7.02(e) or the maintenance, operation or use thereof that does not comply with Section 7.02(b) and Section 7.02(c) or (y) permit any action not permitted to be taken by the Company with respect to the Aircraft hereunder. The Company shall promptly notify the Loan Trustee and the Rating Agencies of the existence of any such lease with a term in excess of one year.

The Loan Trustee, and each Noteholder by acceptance of an Equipment Note, and each Related Noteholder by acceptance of a Related Equipment Note, agrees, for the benefit of the Company (and any Permitted Lessee) and for the benefit of the lessor, conditional vendor or secured party of any airframe or engine leased to the Company (or any Permitted Lessee) or leased to or purchased or owned by the Company (or any Permitted Lessee) subject to a conditional sale or other security agreement, that the Loan Trustee and the Noteholders will not acquire or claim, as against the Company (or any Permitted Lessee) or such lessor, conditional vendor or secured party, any right, title or interest in (A) any engine or engines owned by the Company (or any Permitted Lessee) or the lessor under such lease or subject to a security interest in favor of the secured party under any conditional sale or other security agreement as the result of such engine or engines being installed on the Airframe at any time while such engine or engines are subject to such lease or conditional sale or other security agreement or (B) any airframe owned by the Company (or any Permitted Lessee) or the lessor under such lease or subject to a security interest in favor of the secured party under any conditional sale or other security agreement as the result of any Engine being installed on such airframe at any time while such airframe is subject to such lease or conditional sale or other security agreement.

The Loan Trustee acknowledges that any “wet lease” or other similar arrangement under which the Company maintains operational control of the Aircraft shall not constitute a delivery, transfer or relinquishment of possession for purposes of this Section 7.02(a).

(b) Operation and Use. The Company agrees that the Aircraft will not be maintained, used, serviced, repaired, overhauled or operated in violation of any law, rule or regulation of any government of any country having jurisdiction over the Aircraft or in violation of any airworthiness certificate, license or registration relating to the Aircraft issued by any such government, except (i) immaterial or non-recurring violations with respect to which corrective measures are taken promptly by the Company or the Permitted Lessee, as the case may be, or (ii) to the extent the Company or the Permitted Lessee is contesting in good faith the validity or application of any such law, rule or regulation or airworthiness certificate, license or registration in any manner that does not involve any material risk of sale, forfeiture or loss of the Aircraft or impair the Lien of this Indenture; provided that the Company shall not be in default under, or required to take any action set forth in, this sentence if it is not possible for it to comply with the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States (or other than any jurisdiction in which the Aircraft is then registered) because of a conflict with the applicable laws of the United States (or such jurisdiction in which the Aircraft is then registered). The Company shall

also have the right to operate the Aircraft without having on board the original registration certificate or airworthiness certificate in the event that either or both such certificates disappear from the Aircraft, but only to the extent permitted by Exemption No. 5318 of the regulations of the FAA or other similar exemption. The Company will not operate the Aircraft, or permit the Aircraft to be operated or located, (i) in any area excluded from coverage by any insurance required by the terms of Section 7.06 or (ii) in any war zone or recognized or, in the Company’s judgment, threatened areas of hostilities unless covered by war risk insurance in accordance with Section 7.06, unless in the case of either clause (i) or (ii), (x) governmental indemnification complying with Section 7.06(a) and Section 7.06(b) has been provided or (y) the Aircraft is only temporarily located in such area as a result of an isolated occurrence or isolated series of occurrences attributable to a hijacking, medical emergency, equipment malfunction, weather conditions, navigational error or other similar unforeseen circumstances or any other circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the Company and the Company (or any Permitted Lessee) is using its good faith efforts to remove the Aircraft from such area as promptly as practicable.

(c) Maintenance. The Company shall maintain, service, repair and overhaul the Aircraft (or cause the same to be done) in accordance with a maintenance program for [Boeing 737-800]¹² [Boeing 737 MAX 8]¹³ [Boeing 787-9]¹⁴ aircraft approved by the FAA or, if the Aircraft is not registered in the United States, (1) the EASA or the JAA, (2) the central aviation authority of Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Spain, Switzerland or the United Kingdom, or (3) the central aviation authority of any country with aircraft maintenance standards that are substantially similar to those of the United States or any of the foregoing authorities or countries, (i) so as to keep the Aircraft in as good operating condition as on the Closing Date, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and in such condition as may be necessary to enable the airworthiness certification of the Aircraft to be maintained in good standing at all times (other than (v) during temporary periods of storage, during maintenance, testing or modification permitted hereunder, (w) during periods of grounding by applicable governmental authorities, (x) during periods when the FAA or such other aviation authority has revoked or suspended the airworthiness certificates for aircraft of the same manufacturer and model as the Aircraft, (y) with respect to minor or nonrecurring violations with respect to

which corrective measures are taken upon discovery thereof and (z) to the extent the Company or Permitted Lessee is promptly contesting in good faith the validity or application of any law or requirement relating to any such certification in any reasonable manner which does not create a material risk of sale, loss or forfeiture of the Aircraft, the Airframe or any Engine or the interest of the Loan Trustee therein or any material risk of criminal liability or material civil penalty against the Loan Trustee) under the Transportation Code, during such periods in which the Aircraft is registered under the laws of the United States, or, if the Aircraft is registered under the laws of any other jurisdiction, the applicable laws of such jurisdiction and (ii) using the same standards as the Company or, in the case of a lease permitted pursuant to Section 7.02(a), the applicable Permitted Lessee uses with respect to similar aircraft operated by the Company or such Permitted Lessee, as the case may be, in similar circumstances (in any case, without limitation of the Company’s obligations under the preceding clause (i)). The Company shall maintain or cause to be maintained all records, logs and other documents required to be maintained in respect of the Aircraft by appropriate authorities in the jurisdiction in which the Aircraft is registered.

(d) Identification of Loan Trustee’s Interest. If not prevented by applicable law or regulations or by any government, the Company agrees to affix as promptly as practicable after the Closing Date and thereafter to maintain in the cockpit of the Aircraft, in a clearly visible location, and on each Engine, a nameplate bearing the inscription “MORTGAGED TO WILMINGTON TRUST COMPANY, AS LOAN TRUSTEE” (such nameplate to be replaced, if necessary, with a nameplate reflecting the name of any successor Loan Trustee). Such placards may be removed temporarily, if necessary, in the course of maintenance of the Airframe or Engines. If any such nameplate is damaged beyond repair or becomes illegible, the Company shall promptly replace it with a nameplate complying with the requirements of this Section.

(e) Registration. The Company shall cause the Aircraft to remain duly registered, under the laws of the United States, in the name of the Company except as otherwise required by the Transportation Code; provided that the Loan Trustee shall, at the Company’s expense, execute and deliver all such documents as the Company may reasonably request for the purpose of continuing such registration. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Company, at its own expense, may cause or allow the Aircraft to be duly registered under the laws of any foreign jurisdiction in which a Permitted Lessee could be principally based, in the name of the Company or of any nominee of the Company, or, if required by applicable law, in the name of any other Person (and, following any such foreign registration, may cause the Aircraft to be re-registered under the laws of the United States); provided that in the case of jurisdictions other than those approved by the Loan Trustee with the consent of a Majority in Interest of Noteholders (i) if such jurisdiction is at the time of registration listed on Exhibit B, the Loan Trustee shall have received at the time of such registration an opinion of counsel to the Company

to the effect that (A) this Indenture and the Loan Trustee’s right to repossession thereunder is valid and enforceable under the laws of such country, (B) after giving effect to such change in registration, the Lien of this Indenture shall continue as a valid Lien and shall be duly perfected in the new jurisdiction of registration and that all filing, recording or other action necessary to perfect and protect the Lien of this Indenture has been accomplished (or if such opinion cannot be given at such time, (x) the opinion shall detail what filing, recording or other action is necessary and (y) the Loan Trustee shall have received a certificate from a Responsible Officer of the Company that all possible preparations to accomplish such filing, recording and other action shall have been done, and such filing, recording and other action shall be accomplished and a supplemental opinion to that effect shall be promptly delivered to the Loan Trustee subsequent to the effective date of such change in registration), (C) the obligations of the Company under this Indenture shall remain valid, binding and (subject to customary bankruptcy and equitable remedies exceptions and to other exceptions customary in foreign opinions generally) enforceable under the laws of such jurisdiction (or the laws of the jurisdiction to which the laws of such jurisdiction would refer as the applicable governing law) and (D) all approvals or consents of any government in such jurisdiction having jurisdiction required for such change in registration shall have been duly obtained and shall be in full force and effect, and (ii) if such jurisdiction is at the time of registration not listed on Exhibit B, the Loan Trustee shall have received (in addition to the opinions set forth in clause (i) above) at the time of such registration an opinion of counsel to the Company to the effect that (A) the terms of this Indenture are legal, valid, binding and enforceable in such jurisdiction (subject to exceptions customary in such jurisdiction, provided that, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally, and to general principles of equity, any applicable laws limiting the remedies provided in Section 4.02 do not in the opinion of such counsel make the remedies provided in Section 4.02 inadequate for the practical realization of the rights and benefits provided thereby), (B) that it is not necessary for the Loan Trustee to register or qualify to do business in such jurisdiction, (C) that there is no tort liability of the lender of an aircraft not in possession thereof under the laws of such jurisdiction other than tort liability that might have been imposed on such lender under the laws of the United States or any state thereof (it being understood that such opinion shall be waived if insurance reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee is provided, at the Company’s expense, to cover such risk) and (D) (unless the Company shall have agreed to provide insurance covering the risk of requisition of use or title of the Aircraft by the government of such jurisdiction so long as the Aircraft is registered under the laws of such jurisdiction) that the laws of such jurisdiction require fair compensation by the government of such jurisdiction payable in currency freely convertible into Dollars for the loss of use or title of the Aircraft in the event of requisition by such government of such use or title. The Loan Trustee will cooperate with the Company in effecting such foreign registration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to any such change in the country of registry of the Aircraft, the following conditions shall be met (or waived as provided in Section 6.01(b) of the Participation Agreement):

(i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the effective date of the change in registration; provided that it shall not be necessary to comply with this condition if the change in registration results in the registration of the Aircraft under the laws of the United States or if a Majority in Interest of Noteholders consents to such change in registration;

(ii) the Loan Trustee shall have received evidence of compliance with the insurance provisions contained herein after giving effect to such change in registration; and

(iii) the Company shall have paid or made provision reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee for the payment of all reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of the Loan Trustee and the Noteholders in connection with such change in registration.

The Company shall (i) take such actions as may be required to be taken by the Company so that any International Interest arising in relation to this Indenture, the Aircraft, any Replacement Aircraft, any Engine or Replacement Engine may be duly registered (and any such registration may be assigned, amended, extended or discharged) at the International Registry, and (ii) obtain from the International Registry all approvals as may be required duly and timely to perform the Company’s obligations under this Indenture with respect to the registration of any such International Interest. The Loan Trustee shall take all actions necessary with respect to the International Registry to consent to the Company’s initiation of any registrations required under this Indenture to enable the Company to complete such registrations, including, without limitation, appointing Daugherty, Fowler, Peregrin, Haught & Jenson, a Professional Corporation or another firm of qualified FAA counsel, as its “professional user entity” (as defined in the Cape Town Treaty) to consent to any registrations on the International Registry with respect to the Airframe or any Engine.

Section 7.03. Inspection . At all reasonable times, but upon at least 15 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Company, the Loan Trustee or its authorized representative may, subject to the other conditions of this Section 7.03(a), inspect the Aircraft and may inspect the books and records of the Company required to be maintained by the FAA or the government of another jurisdiction in which the Aircraft is then registered relating to the maintenance of the Aircraft; provided that (i) the Loan Trustee or its representative shall be fully insured at no cost to the Company in a manner satisfactory to the Company with respect to any risks incurred in connection with any such inspection or shall provide to the Company a written release satisfactory to the

Company with respect to such risks, (ii) any such inspection shall be subject to the safety, security and workplace rules applicable at the location where such inspection is conducted and any applicable governmental rules or regulations, (iii) any such inspection of the Aircraft shall be a visual, walk-around inspection of the interior and exterior of the Aircraft and shall not include opening any panels, bays or the like without the Company’s express consent, which consent the Company may in its sole discretion withhold, and (iv) no exercise of such inspection right shall interfere with the use, operation or maintenance of the Aircraft by, or the business of, the Company and the Company shall not be required to undertake or incur any additional liabilities in connection therewith. All information obtained in connection with any such inspection of the Aircraft and of such books and records shall be Confidential Information and shall be treated by the Loan Trustee and its representatives in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.16. Any inspection pursuant to this Section 7.03(a) shall be at the sole risk (including, without limitation, any risk of personal injury or death) and expense of the Loan Trustee (or its representative), as the case may be, making such inspection. Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, all inspections by the Loan Trustee and its representatives provided for under this Section 7.03(a) shall be limited to one inspection of any kind contemplated by this Section 7.03(a) during any calendar year.

Section 7.04. Replacement and Pooling of Parts; Alterations, Modifications and Additions; Airframe and Engine Substitutions . (a) Replacement of Parts. The Company, at its own expense, shall, or shall cause a Permitted Lessee to, at its own expense, promptly replace all Parts that may from time to time be incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or any Engine and that may from time to time become worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or rendered permanently unfit for use for any reason whatsoever, except as otherwise provided in Section 7.04(c) or if the Airframe or an Engine to which a Part relates has suffered an Event of Loss. In addition, the Company, at its own expense, may, or may permit a Permitted Lessee at its own expense to, remove (or cause to be removed) in the ordinary course of maintenance, service, repair, overhaul or testing, any Parts, whether or not worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or rendered permanently unfit for use; provided that the Company, except as otherwise provided in Section 7.04(c), at its own expense, will, or will cause a Permitted Lessee at its own expense to, replace such Parts as promptly as practicable. All replacement Parts shall be free and clear of all Liens (except for Permitted Liens and except in the case of replacement property temporarily installed on an emergency basis) and shall have a value and utility at least equal to the Parts replaced, assuming such replaced Parts were in the condition and repair required to be maintained by the terms hereof. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.04(c), all Parts at any time removed from the Airframe or any Engine shall remain subject to the Lien of this Indenture no matter where located until such time as such Parts shall be replaced by parts that have been incorporated or installed

in or attached to the Airframe or such Engine and that meet the requirements for replacement Parts specified above. Immediately upon any replacement Part becoming incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or any Engine as above provided (except in the case of replacement property temporarily installed on an emergency basis), without further act, (i) the replaced Part shall thereupon be free and clear of all rights of the Loan Trustee and of the Lien of this Indenture and shall no longer be deemed a Part hereunder and (ii) such replacement Part shall become subject to the Lien of this Indenture and be deemed a Part of the Airframe or such Engine for all purposes to the same extent as the Parts originally incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or such Engine. Upon request of the Company from time to time, the Loan Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Company an appropriate instrument confirming the release of any such replaced Part from the Lien of this Indenture.

(b) Pooling of Parts. Any Part removed from the Airframe or any Engine as provided in Section 7.04(a) may be subjected by the Company or a Person permitted to be in possession of the Aircraft to a pooling arrangement customary in the airline industry entered into in the ordinary course of the Company’s or such Person’s business; provided that the part replacing such removed Part shall be incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or such Engine in accordance with Section 7.04(a) as promptly as practicable after the removal of such removed Part. In addition, any replacement Part when incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or any Engine may be owned by any third party subject to such a pooling arrangement; provided that the Company, at its expense, as promptly thereafter as practicable, either (i) causes title to such replacement Part to vest in the Company free and clear of all Liens (except Permitted Liens), or (ii) replaces such replacement Part by incorporating or installing in or attaching to the Airframe or such Engine a further replacement Part in the manner contemplated by Section 7.04(a).

(c) Alterations, Modifications and Additions. The Company will, or will cause a Permitted Lessee to, make (or cause to be made) such alterations and modifications in and additions to the Airframe and the Engines as may be required from time to time to meet the applicable requirements of the FAA or any applicable government of any other jurisdiction in which the Aircraft may then be registered, except for (i) immaterial and non-recurring violations with respect to which corrective measures are being taken promptly by Company or a Permitted Lessee and (ii) any law, rule, regulation or order the validity or application of which is being contested in good faith by the Company or any Permitted Lessee in any reasonable manner which does not materially adversely affect the Loan Trustee’s interest in the Aircraft, does not impair the Loan Trustee’s security interest or International Interest in the Aircraft and does not involve any material risk of sale, forfeiture or loss of the Aircraft. In addition, the Company, at its own expense, may, or may permit a Permitted Lessee at its own expense to, from time to time add further parts or accessories and make or cause to be made such

alterations and modifications in and additions to the Airframe or any Engine as the Company or such Permitted Lessee may deem desirable in the proper conduct of its business, including, without limitation, removal (without replacement) of Parts, provided that no such alteration, modification or addition shall materially diminish the value or utility of the Airframe or such Engine below its value or utility, immediately prior to such alteration, modification or addition, assuming that the Airframe or such Engine was then in the condition required to be maintained by the terms of this Indenture, except that the value (but not the utility) of the Airframe or any Engine may be reduced by the value of any such Parts that shall have been removed that the Company or such Permitted Lessee deems obsolete or no longer suitable or appropriate for use on the Airframe or any Engine. For the avoidance of doubt, Company may make alterations in the passenger configuration of the Aircraft and such alterations shall not be subject to the immediately preceding sentence. All Parts incorporated or installed in or attached or added to the Airframe or any Engine as the result of such alteration, modification or addition shall be free and clear of any Liens, other than Permitted Liens, and shall, without further act, be subject to the Lien of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company or any Permitted Lessee may, at any time, remove any Part from the Airframe or any Engine if such Part: (i) is in addition to, and not in replacement of or substitution for, any Part originally incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or such Engine at the time of delivery thereof to the Company or such Permitted Lessee or any Part in replacement of, or substitution for, any such Part, (ii) is not required to be incorporated or installed in or attached or added to the Airframe or such Engine pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 7.04(c) or Section 7.02(d) and (iii) can be removed from the Airframe or such Engine without materially diminishing the value or utility required to be maintained by the terms of this Indenture that the Airframe or such Engine would have had had such Part never been installed on the Airframe or such Engine. Upon the removal by the Company of any Part as permitted by this Section 7.04(c), such removed Part shall, without further act, be free and clear of all rights and interests of the Loan Trustee and the Lien of this Indenture and shall no longer be deemed a Part hereunder. Upon request of the Company from time to time, the Loan Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Company an appropriate instrument confirming the release of any such removed Part from the Lien of this Indenture. Parts of the type permitted to be removed by this Section 7.04(c) may be leased from or financed by third parties other than the Loan Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, Company may, at any time, install or permit to be installed in the Aircraft Passenger Convenience Equipment owned by Company or any Permitted Lessee or by third parties and leased or otherwise furnished to Company in the ordinary course of business (including pursuant to a conditional sale contract, a license or otherwise), and Company may remove (and not replace) or permit to be removed (and not replaced) the same, and Loan Trustee shall not acquire a Lien thereon by virtue of such installation or otherwise, and the rights of the owners therein shall not constitute a default under this Indenture, it being acknowledged and agreed, however, that in no event shall the installation of any such Passenger Convenience Equipment impair or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Loan Trustee hereunder and under applicable law.

(d) Substitution of Engines. The Company shall have the right at its option at any time, on at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Loan Trustee, to substitute a Replacement Engine for any Engine. In such event, and prior to the date of such substitution, the Company shall replace such Engine hereunder by complying with the terms of Section 7.05(b) to the same extent as if an Event of Loss had occurred with respect to such Engine.

(e) Substitution of Airframe. The Company shall have the right at its option at any time, on at least 10 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Loan Trustee, to substitute a Substitute Airframe, free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens), for the Airframe so long as (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of substitution, (ii) the Substitute Airframe has a date of manufacture no earlier than one year prior to the date of manufacture of the Airframe subject to the Lien of this Indenture on the Closing Date (each such date of manufacture, in each case, to be deemed to be the date of original delivery of the applicable airframe to a customer by the Manufacturer) and (iii) the Substitute Airframe has a MCMV (as defined below) at least equal to the MCMV of the Airframe being replaced by the Substitute Airframe (assuming that the Airframe had been maintained in accordance with the Indenture), in each case as determined by a desktop appraisal dated as of a date within the 60-day period prior to the substitution performed by an Appraiser selected by the Company. “MCMV” is the “current market value” (as defined by the International Society of Transport Aircraft Trading or any successor organization) adjusted for the maintenance status of the Substitute Airframe and the Airframe being replaced by the Substitute Airframe, as applicable, such maintenance status to be based upon maintenance data provided by the Company to the applicable Appraiser with respect to the Substitute Airframe and such Airframe as of the same date within the 60-day period prior to the substitution for both the Substitute Airframe and such Airframe.

Prior to or at the time of any substitution under this Section 7.04(e), the Company will (A) cause an Indenture Supplement covering such Substitute Airframe to be delivered to the Loan Trustee for execution and, upon such execution, to be filed for recordation pursuant to the Transportation Code or the applicable laws of any other jurisdiction in which the Aircraft may then be registered, (B) cause the sale of such Substitute Airframe to the Company (if occurring after February 28, 2006 and if the seller of such Substitute Airframe is “situated in” a country that has ratified the Cape Town Convention) and the International Interest created pursuant to the Indenture Supplement in favor of the Loan Trustee with respect to such Substitute Airframe to be registered on the International Registry as a sale or an International Interest, respectively; provided that

if the seller of such Substitute Airframe is not situated in a country that has ratified the Cape Town Convention, the Company will use its reasonable efforts to cause the seller to register the contract of sale on the International Registry, (C) cause a financing statement or statements with respect to such Substitute Airframe or other requisite documents or instruments to be filed in such place or places as necessary in order to perfect the Loan Trustee’s interest therein in the United States, or in any other jurisdiction in which the Aircraft may then be registered, (D) furnish the Loan Trustee with an opinion of counsel to the Company (which may be external counsel or the Company’s General Counsel, Deputy General Counsel or Associate General Counsel or such other internal counsel of the Company as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee) addressed to the Loan Trustee to the effect that upon such substitution, such Substitute Airframe will be subject to the Lien of this Indenture and addressing the matters set forth in clauses (A), (B) and (C), (E) furnish the Loan Trustee with evidence of compliance with the insurance provisions of Section 7.06 with respect to such Substitute Airframe, (F) furnish the Loan Trustee with a copy of the original bill of sale respecting such Substitute Airframe and (G) furnish the Loan Trustee with an opinion of counsel to the Company (which may be external counsel or the Company’s General Counsel, Deputy General Counsel or Associate General Counsel or such other internal counsel of the Company as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee) to the effect that the Loan Trustee will be entitled to the benefits of Section 1110 with respect to the Substitute Airframe; provided that (i) such opinion need not be delivered to the extent that the benefits of Section 1110 were not, by reason of a change in law or governmental or judicial interpretation thereof, available to the Loan Trustee with respect to the Aircraft immediately prior to such substitution and (ii) such opinion may contain qualifications and assumptions of the tenor contained in the opinion of counsel to the Company delivered pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Participation Agreement on the Closing Date and such other qualifications and assumptions as shall at the time be customary in opinions rendered in comparable circumstances.

In the case of the Substitute Airframe subjected to the Lien of this Indenture under this Section 7.04(e), promptly upon the recordation of the Indenture Supplement covering such Substitute Airframe pursuant to the Transportation Code (or pursuant to the applicable law of such other jurisdiction in which such Substitute Airframe is registered), the Company will cause to be delivered to the Loan Trustee a favorable opinion of aviation law counsel to the Company (which may be external aviation law counsel or the Company’s General Counsel, Deputy General Counsel or Associate General Counsel or such other internal counsel of the Company as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee) addressed to the Loan Trustee as to the due registration of such Replacement Aircraft and the due recordation of such Indenture Supplement or such other requisite documents or instruments, the registration with the International Registry of the sale of such Substitute Airframe to the Company (if occurring after February 28,

2006 and if the seller of such Substitute Airframe is “situated in” a country that has ratified the Cape Town Convention) and of the International Interests created pursuant to the Indenture Supplement with respect to such Substitute Airframe and the validity and perfection of the security interest in the Substitute Aircraft granted to the Loan Trustee under this Indenture.

(f) For all purposes hereof, upon the attachment of the Lien of this Indenture thereto, the Substitute Airframe shall become part of the Collateral and shall be deemed an “Airframe” as defined herein. Upon compliance with clauses (A) through (G) of the second preceding paragraph, the Loan Trustee shall (x) execute and deliver to the Company an appropriate instrument releasing the replaced Airframe, all proceeds (including, without limitation, insurance proceeds, if any), the Warranty Rights in respect of such replaced Airframe and all rights relating to the foregoing, from the Lien of this Indenture, and will take such actions as may be required to be taken by the Loan Trustee to cancel or release any International Interest of the Loan Trustee registered with the International Registry in relation to such replaced Airframe and (y) provide a notice to the Noteholders setting forth (1) the date of the substitution which shall be the date of filing of the Indenture Supplement described in clause (A) of the second preceding paragraph, (2) the model of the Substitute Airframe, (3) the manufacturer serial numbers of the Substitute Airframe and Airframe replaced by the Substitute Airframe, and (4) the registration numbers of the Replacement Aircraft of which the Substitute Airframe is a part and the Aircraft of which the Airframe replaced by the Substitute Airframe is part.

Section 7.05. Loss, Destruction or Requisition . (a) Event of Loss with Respect to the Airframe. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Loss with respect to the Airframe or the Airframe and the Engines then installed thereon, the Company shall as promptly as practicable (and, in any event, within 15 days after such occurrence) give the Loan Trustee written notice of such Event of Loss, and, within 90 days after such Event of Loss, the Company shall give the Loan Trustee written notice of its election to perform one of the following options (it being agreed that if the Company shall not have given such notice of election within such 90-day period, the Company shall be deemed to have elected to perform the option set forth in the following clause (ii)). The Company may elect either to:

(i) on or before the Loss Payment Date (as defined below), substitute, as replacement for the Airframe or Airframe and Engines with respect to which an Event of Loss has occurred, a Replacement Airframe (together with a number of Replacement Engines equal to the number of Engines, if any, with respect to which the Event of Loss occurred), such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines to be owned by the Company free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens); provided that if the Company shall not perform its obligation to effect such substitution under this clause (i) on or prior to the Loss Payment Date, then the Company shall on the Loss Payment Date redeem the Equipment Notes in full in accordance with Section 2.10; or

(ii) on or before the Loss Payment Date, redeem the Equipment Notes in full in accordance with Section 2.10. The Company shall give the Loan Trustee 20 days prior written notice if it elects to redeem the Equipment Notes on any day prior to the Loss Payment Date.

The “Loss Payment Date” with respect to an Event of Loss means the Business Day next succeeding the 120th day following the date of occurrence of such Event of Loss.

If the Company elects to substitute a Replacement Airframe (or a Replacement Airframe and one or more Replacement Engines, as the case may be) the Company shall, at its sole expense, not later than the Loss Payment Date, (A) cause an Indenture Supplement for such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, to be delivered to the Loan Trustee for execution and, upon such execution, to be filed for recordation pursuant to the Transportation Code or the applicable laws of such other jurisdiction in which the Aircraft may then be registered, (B) cause the sale of such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, to the Company (if occurring after February 28, 2006 and if the seller of such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, is “situated in” a country that has ratified the Cape Town Convention) and the International Interest created pursuant to the Indenture Supplement in favor of the Loan Trustee with respect to such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, each to be registered on the International Registry as a sale or an International Interest, respectively; provided that if the seller of such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, is not situated in a country that has ratified the Cape Town Convention, the Company will use its reasonable efforts to cause the seller to register the contract of sale on the International Registry, (C) cause a financing statement or statements with respect to the Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, or other requisite documents or instruments to be filed in such place or places as necessary in order to perfect the Loan Trustee’s interest therein in the United States, or in any other jurisdiction in which the Aircraft may then be registered, (D) furnish the Loan Trustee with an opinion of counsel to the Company (which may be external counsel or the Company’s General Counsel, Deputy General Counsel or Associate General Counsel or such other internal counsel of the Company as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee) addressed to the Loan Trustee to the effect that upon such replacement, such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, will be subject to the Lien of this Indenture and addressing the matters set forth in clauses (A), (B) and (C), (E) furnish the Loan Trustee with a certificate of an independent aircraft engineer or appraiser, certifying that the Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, have a value and utility (without regard to hours or cycles) at least equal to the Airframe

and Engines, if any, so replaced, assuming the Airframe and such Engines were in the condition and repair required by the terms hereof immediately prior to the occurrence of such Event of Loss, (F) furnish the Loan Trustee with evidence of compliance with the insurance provisions of Section 7.06 with respect to such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, (G) furnish the Loan Trustee with a copy of the original bill of sale respecting such Replacement Airframe and a copy of the original bill of sale or, if the bill of sale is unavailable, other evidence of ownership reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee (which may be a copy of an invoice or purchase order) respecting such Replacement Engines, if any, and (H) furnish the Loan Trustee with an opinion of counsel to the Company (which may be external counsel or the Company’s General Counsel, Deputy General Counsel or Associate General Counsel or such other internal counsel of the Company as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee) to the effect that the Loan Trustee will be entitled to the benefits of Section 1110 with respect to the Replacement Airframe; provided that (i) such opinion need not be delivered to the extent that the benefits of Section 1110 were not, by reason of a change in law or governmental or judicial interpretation thereof, available to the Loan Trustee with respect to the Aircraft immediately prior to such substitution and (ii) such opinion may contain qualifications and assumptions of the tenor contained in the opinion of counsel to the Company delivered pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Participation Agreement on the Closing Date and such other qualifications and assumptions as shall at the time be customary in opinions rendered in comparable circumstances.

In the case of each Replacement Airframe or Replacement Airframe and one or more Replacement Engines subjected to the Lien of this Indenture under this Section 7.05(a), promptly upon the recordation of the Indenture Supplement covering such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, pursuant to the Transportation Code (or pursuant to the applicable law of such other jurisdiction in which such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, are registered), the Company will cause to be delivered to the Loan Trustee a favorable opinion of counsel to the Company (which may be external counsel or the Company’s General Counsel, Deputy General Counsel or Associate General Counsel or such other internal counsel of the Company as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee) addressed to the Loan Trustee as to the due registration of such Replacement Aircraft and the due recordation of such Indenture Supplement or such other requisite documents or instruments, the registration with the International Registry of the sale of such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, to the Company (if occurring after February 28, 2006 and if the seller of such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, is “situated in” a country that has ratified the Cape Town Convention) and of the International Interests created pursuant to the Indenture Supplement with respect to such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, and the validity and perfection of the security interest in the Replacement Aircraft granted to the Loan Trustee under this Indenture.

For all purposes hereof, upon the attachment of the Lien of this Indenture thereto, the Replacement Aircraft and Replacement Engines, if any, shall become part of the Collateral, the Replacement Airframe shall be deemed an “Airframe” as defined herein, and each such Replacement Engine shall be deemed an “Engine” as defined herein. Upon compliance with clauses (A) through (H) of the second preceding paragraph, the Loan Trustee shall (x) execute and deliver to the Company an appropriate instrument releasing such replaced Airframe and Engines (if any) installed thereon at the time such Event of Loss occurred, all proceeds (including, without limitation, insurance proceeds), the Warranty Rights in respect of such replaced Airframe and Engines (if any) and all rights relating to the foregoing, from the Lien of this Indenture and assigning to the Company all claims against third Persons for damage to or loss of the Airframe and Engines arising from the Event of Loss, and will take such actions as may be required to be taken by the Loan Trustee to cancel or release any International Interest of the Loan Trustee registered with the International Registry in relation to the Airframe and Engines, if any, with respect to which such Event of Loss occurred, and (y) provide a notice to the Noteholders setting forth (1) the date of the replacement which shall be the date of filing of the Indenture Supplement described in clause (A) of the second preceding paragraph, (2) the model of the Replacement Airframe, (3) the manufacturer serial numbers of the Replacement Airframe and Airframe replaced by the Replacement Airframe, and (4) the registration numbers of the Replacement Aircraft of which the Replacement Airframe is part and the Aircraft of which the Airframe replaced by the Replacement Airframe is part.

In the event that, after an Event of Loss, the Company performs the option set forth in clause (ii) of the first paragraph of this Section 7.05(a), the Loan Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Company an appropriate instrument releasing the Aircraft, all proceeds (including, without limitation, insurance proceeds), the Warranty Rights in respect of the Aircraft and all rights relating to the foregoing from the Lien of this Indenture and assigning to the Company all claims against third Persons for damage to or loss of the Aircraft arising from the Event of Loss, and will take such actions as may be required to be taken by the Loan Trustee to cancel or release any International Interest of the Loan Trustee registered with the International Registry in relation to the Airframe and Engines, if any, with respect to which such Event of Loss occurred.

(b) Event of Loss with Respect to an Engine. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Loss with respect to an Engine under circumstances in which there has not occurred an Event of Loss with respect to the Airframe, the Company shall give the Loan Trustee prompt written notice thereof within 15 days after the Company has determined that an Event of Loss has occurred with respect to such Engine and shall, within 120 days after the occurrence of such Event of Loss, cause to be subjected to the Lien of this Indenture, as replacement for the Engine with respect to which such Event of Loss occurred, a Replacement Engine free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens).

Prior to or at the time of any replacement under this Section 7.05(b), the Company will (i) cause an Indenture Supplement covering such Replacement Engine to be delivered to the Loan Trustee for execution and, upon such execution, to be filed for recordation pursuant to the Transportation Code or the applicable laws of any other jurisdiction in which the Aircraft may be registered, (ii) furnish the Loan Trustee with a copy of the original bill of sale or, if the bill of sale is unavailable, other evidence of ownership reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee (which may be a copy of an invoice or purchase order) respecting such Replacement Engine, (iii) cause the sale of such Replacement Engine to the Company (if occurring after February 28, 2006 and if the seller of such Replacement Engine is “situated in” a country that has ratified the Cape Town Convention) and the International Interest created pursuant to the Indenture Supplement in favor of the Loan Trustee with respect to such Replacement Engine, to be registered on the International Registry as a sale or an International Interest; provided that if the seller of such Replacement Engine is not situated in a country that has ratified the Cape Town Convention, the Company will use its reasonable efforts to cause the seller to register the contract of sale on the International Registry, (iv) cause a financing statement or statements with respect to such Replacement Engine or other requisite documents or instruments to be filed in such place or places as necessary in order to perfect the Loan Trustee’s interest therein in the United States, or in such other jurisdiction in which the Engine may then be registered, (v) furnish the Loan Trustee with an opinion of counsel to the Company (which may be external counsel or the Company’s General Counsel, Deputy General Counsel or Associate General Counsel or such other internal counsel of the Company as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee) addressed to the Loan Trustee to the effect that, upon such replacement, the Replacement Engine will be subject to the Lien of this Indenture, (vi) furnish the Loan Trustee with a certificate of an aircraft engineer or appraiser (who may be an employee of the Company) certifying that such Replacement Engine has a value and utility (without regard to hours or cycles) at least equal to the Engine so replaced assuming such Engine was in the condition and repair required by the terms hereof immediately prior to the occurrence of such Event of Loss and (vii) furnish the Loan Trustee with evidence of compliance with the insurance provisions of Section 7.06 with respect to such Replacement Engine. In the case of each Replacement Engine subjected to the Lien of this Indenture under this Section 7.05(b), promptly upon the recordation of the Indenture Supplement covering such Replacement Engine pursuant to the Transportation Code (or pursuant to the applicable law of such other jurisdiction in which the Aircraft is registered), the Company will cause to be delivered to the Loan Trustee an opinion of counsel to the Company (which may be external counsel or the Company’s General Counsel, Deputy General Counsel or

Associate General Counsel or such other internal counsel of the Company as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee) addressed to the Loan Trustee as to the due recordation of such Indenture Supplement or such other requisite documents or instruments, the registration with the International Registry of the sale of such Replacement Engine to Company (if occurring after February 28, 2006 and if the seller of such Replacement Engine is “situated in” a country that has ratified the Cape Town Convention) and of the International Interest created pursuant to the Indenture Supplement with respect to such Replacement Engine, and the validity and perfection of the security interest in the Replacement Engine granted to the Loan Trustee under this Indenture.

(c) Application of Payments for Event of Loss from Requisition of Title or Use. Any payments (other than insurance proceeds the application of which is provided for in Section 7.06) received at any time by the Company or by the Loan Trustee from any government or other Person with respect to an Event of Loss to the Airframe or any Engine, will be applied as follows:

(i) if such payments are received with respect to the Airframe or the Airframe and the Engines installed on the Airframe that has been or is being replaced by the Company pursuant to Section 7.05(a), such payments shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Loan Trustee and upon completion of such replacement shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Company;

In the event of the requisition for use by any government, including, without limitation, pursuant to the CRAF Program, of the Airframe and the Engines or engines installed on the Airframe that does not constitute an Event of Loss, the Company shall promptly notify the Loan Trustee and all of the Company’s rights and obligations under this Indenture with respect to the Airframe and such Engines shall continue to the same extent as if such requisition had not occurred; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s obligations other than payment obligations shall only continue to the extent feasible. All payments received by the Company or the Loan Trustee from such government for such use of the Airframe and Engines or engines shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Company.

(e) Requisition for Use by the Government of an Engine Not Installed on the Airframe. In the event of the requisition for use by any government of any Engine not then installed on the Airframe, the Company will replace such Engine by complying with the terms of Section 7.05(b) to the same extent as if an Event of Loss had occurred with respect to such Engine. Upon such replacement, any payments received by the Company or the Loan Trustee from such government with respect to such requisition shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Company.

Any amount referred to in Section 7.05 that is payable to or retainable by the Company shall not be paid to or retained by the Company if at the time of such payment or retention an Event of Default or Payment Default shall have occurred and be continuing, but shall be held by or paid over to the Loan Trustee as security for the obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Participation Agreement. Subject to Section 3.03, at such time as there shall not be continuing any such Event of Default or Payment Default, such amount shall be paid to the Company.

(i) Except as provided in clause (ii) of this subsection (a), and subject to the rights of the Company to establish and maintain self-insurance in the manner and to the extent specified in Section 7.06(c), the Company will carry, or cause to be carried, at no expense to the Loan Trustee, aircraft liability insurance (including, but not limited to, bodily injury, personal injury and property damage liability, exclusive of manufacturer’s product liability insurance) and contractual liability insurance with respect to the Aircraft (A) in amounts that are not less than the aircraft liability insurance applicable to similar aircraft and engines in the Company’s fleet on which the Company carries insurance (or, in the case of a lease to a Permitted Lessee, in such Permitted Lessee’s fleet on which such Permitted Lessee carries insurance); provided that such liability insurance (including self-insurance specified in Section 7.06(c)) shall not be less than the amount certified in the insurance report delivered to the Loan Trustee and each Liquidity Provider on the Closing Date, (B) of the type usually carried by corporations engaged in the same or similar business, similarly situated with the Company or such Permitted Lessee, as the case may be, and owning or operating similar aircraft and engines and covering risks of the kind customarily insured against by the Company or such Permitted Lessee, as the case may be, and (C) that is maintained in effect with insurers of recognized responsibility; provided that the Company will carry, or cause to be carried, at no expense to the Loan Trustee, aircraft liability war risk and allied perils insurance if and to the extent the same is maintained by the Company or such Permitted Lessee, as the case may be, with respect to other aircraft operated by the Company or such Permitted Lessee, as the case may be, on the same or similar routes. Any policies of insurance carried in accordance with this Section 7.06(a) and any policies taken out in substitution or replacement for any of such policies shall (A) name the Loan Trustee, the Subordination Agent, each Pass Through Trustee and each Liquidity Provider as their Interests (as defined below in this Section 7.06) may appear, as additional insureds (the “Specified Persons”), (B) subject to the conditions of clause (C) below, provide that, in respect of the interests of the Specified Persons in such policies, the insurance shall not be invalidated by any action or inaction of the Company (or any Permitted Lessee) and shall insure the Specified Persons’ Interests as they appear, regardless of any breach or violation of any warranty, declaration or condition contained in such policies by the Company (or any Permitted Lessee), (C) provide that, except to the extent not provided for by the war risk and allied perils insurance provider, if such insurance is canceled for any reason whatever, or if any change is made in the policy that materially reduces the amount of insurance or the coverage certified in the

insurance report delivered on the Closing Date to the Loan Trustee and each Liquidity Provider, or if such insurance is allowed to lapse for nonpayment of premium, such cancellation, change or lapse shall not be effective as to any Specified Person for 30 days (seven days, or such other period as is customarily available in the industry, in the case of any war risk or allied perils coverage) after receipt by such Specified Person of written notice from such insurers of such cancellation, change or lapse, (D) provide that the Specified Persons shall have no obligation or liability for premiums, commissions, assessments or calls in connection with such insurance, (E) provide that the insurers shall waive any rights of (1) set-off, counterclaim or any other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, in respect of any liability of the Specified Persons to the extent of any moneys due to the Specified Persons and (2) subrogation against the Specified Persons to the extent that the Company has waived its rights by its agreements to indemnify the Specified Persons pursuant to the Operative Documents, (F) be primary without right of contribution from any other insurance that may be carried by each Specified Person with respect to its Interests as such in the Aircraft and (G) expressly provide that all of the provisions thereof, except the limits of liability, shall operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy covering each insured. “Interests” as used in this Section 7.06(a) and in Section 7.06(b) with respect to any Person means the interests of such Person in the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents. In the case of a lease or contract with any government in respect of the Aircraft or any Engine, or in the case of any requisition for use of the Aircraft or any Engine by any government, a valid agreement by such government to indemnify the Company, or an insurance policy issued by such government, against any of the risks that the Company is required hereunder to insure against shall be considered adequate insurance for purposes of this Section 7.06(a) to the extent of the risks (and in the amounts) that are the subject of such indemnification or insurance. To the extent that the war risk and allied perils insurance provider does not provide for provision of direct notice to each Specified Person of cancellation, change or lapse in the insurance required hereunder, the Company hereby agrees that upon receipt of notice of any thereof from such insurance provider it shall give each Specified Person immediate notice of each cancellation or lapse of, or material change to, such insurance.

(ii) During any period that the Airframe or an Engine, as the case may be, is on the ground and not in operation, the Company may carry or cause to be carried as to such non-operating Airframe or Engine, in lieu of the insurance required by clause (i) above, and subject to self-insurance to the extent permitted by Section 7.06(c), insurance otherwise conforming with the provisions of said clause (i) except that: (A) the amounts of coverage shall not be required to

exceed the amounts of airline liability insurance from time to time applicable to airframes or engines owned or leased by the Company (or, in the case of a lease to a Permitted Lessee, such Permitted Lessee) of the same type as such non-operating Airframe or Engine and that are on the ground and not in operation and (B) the scope of the risks covered and the type of insurance shall be the same as from time to time shall be applicable to airframes or engines owned or leased by the Company (or such Permitted Lessee) of the same type as such non-operating Airframe or Engine and that are on the ground and not in operation.

(i) Except as provided in clause (ii) of this subsection (b), and subject to the rights of the Company to establish and maintain self-insurance in the manner and to the extent specified in Section 7.06(c), the Company shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, in effect with insurers of recognized responsibility, at no expense to the Loan Trustee, all-risk aircraft hull insurance covering the Aircraft and all-risk coverage with respect to any Engines or Parts while removed from the Aircraft (including, without limitation, war risk and allied perils insurance if and to the extent the same is maintained by the Company (or, in the case of a lease to a Permitted Lessee, such Permitted Lessee) with respect to other aircraft operated by the Company or such Permitted Lessee, as the case may be, on the same or similar routes) that is of the type usually carried by corporations engaged in the same or similar business and similarly situated with the Company or such Permitted Lessee, as the case may be; provided that (A) such insurance (including the permitted self-insurance) shall at all times while the Aircraft is subject to this Indenture be for an amount not less than 110% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Equipment Notes from time to time and (B) such insurance need not cover an Engine while attached to an airframe not owned, leased or operated by the Company, provided that such Engine is covered by a separate policy of insurance. Any policies carried in accordance with this Section 7.06(b) and any policies taken out in substitution or replacement for any such policies shall (A) provide that (I) any insurance proceeds up to an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Equipment Notes, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon, plus an amount equal to the interest that would accrue on the outstanding principal amount of the Equipment Notes at the Debt Rate in effect on the date of payment of such insurance proceeds to the Loan Trustee (as provided for in this sentence) during the period commencing on the day following the date of such payment to the Loan Trustee and ending on the Loss Payment Date (the sum of such three amounts being the “Loan Amount”), payable for any loss or damage constituting an Event of Loss with respect to the Aircraft, and (II) any insurance proceeds in excess of the amount set forth on Exhibit C up to the amount of the Loan Amount for any loss

or damage to the Aircraft (or Engines) not constituting an Event of Loss with respect to the Aircraft, shall be paid to the Loan Trustee as long as this Indenture shall not have been discharged, and that all other amounts shall be payable to the Company, unless the insurer shall have received notice that an Event of Default exists, in which case all insurance proceeds for any loss or damage to the Aircraft (or Engines) up to the amount of the Loan Amount shall be payable to the Loan Trustee, (B) subject to the conditions of clause (C) below, provide that, in respect of the interests of the Specified Persons in such policies, the insurance shall not be invalidated by any action or inaction of the Company (or any Permitted Lessee) and shall insure the Specified Persons’ Interests as they appear, regardless of any breach or violation of any warranty, declaration or condition contained in such policies by the Company (or any Permitted Lessee), (C) provide that, except to the extent not provided by the war risk and allied perils insurance provider, if such insurance is canceled for any reason whatsoever, or if any change is made in the policy that materially reduces the amount of insurance or the coverage certified in the insurance report delivered on the Closing Date to the Loan Trustee and each Liquidity Provider, or if such insurance is allowed to lapse for nonpayment of premium, such cancellation, change or lapse shall not be effective as to the Specified Persons for 30 days (seven days, or such other period as is customarily available in the industry, in the case of war risk or allied perils coverage) after receipt by the Specified Persons of written notice from such insurers of such cancellation, change or lapse, (D) provide that the Specified Persons shall have no obligation or liability for premiums, commissions, assessments or calls in connection with such insurance, (E) provide that the insurers shall waive rights of (1) set-off, counterclaim or any other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, in respect of any liability of the Specified Persons to the extent of any moneys due to the Specified Persons and (2) subrogation against the Specified Persons to the extent the Company has waived its rights by its agreement to indemnify the Specified Persons pursuant to the Operative Documents, and (F) be primary without right of contribution from any other insurance that may be carried by any Specified Person with respect to its Interests as such in the Aircraft. In the case of a lease or contract with any government in respect of the Aircraft or any Engine, or in the case of any requisition for use of the Aircraft or any Engine by any government, a valid agreement by such government to indemnify the Company, or an insurance policy issued by such government, against any risks which the Company is required hereunder to insure against shall be considered adequate insurance for purposes of this Section 7.06(b) to the extent of the risks (and in the amounts) that are the subject of such indemnification or insurance. To the extent that the war risk and allied perils insurance provider does not provide for provision of direct notice to each Specified Person of cancellation, change or lapse in the insurance required hereunder, the Company hereby agrees that upon receipt of notice of any thereof from such insurance provider it shall give each Specified Person immediate notice of each cancellation or lapse of, or material change to, such insurance.

(ii) During any period that the Airframe or an Engine is on the ground and not in operation, the Company may carry or cause to be carried as to such non-operating Airframe or Engine, in lieu of the insurance required by clause (i) above, and subject to self-insurance to the extent permitted by Section 7.06(c), insurance otherwise conforming with the provisions of said clause (i) except that the scope of the risks covered and the type of insurance shall be the same as from time to time applicable to airframes or engines owned or leased by the Company (or, if a lease is then in effect, by the Permitted Lessee) of the same type as such non-operating Airframe or Engine and that are on the ground and not in operation; provided that, subject to self-insurance to the extent permitted by Section 7.06(c), the Company (or such Permitted Lessee) shall maintain insurance against risk of loss or damage to such non-operating Airframe in an amount at least equal to 110% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Equipment Notes during such period that such Airframe is on the ground and not in operation.

(c) Self-Insurance. The Company may from time-to-time self-insure, by way of deductible, self-insured retention, premium adjustment or franchise or otherwise (including, with respect to insurance maintained pursuant to Section 7.06(a) or Section 7.06(b), insuring for a maximum amount that is less than the amounts set forth in Section 7.06(a) and Section 7.06(b)), the risks required to be insured against pursuant to Section 7.06(a) and Section 7.06(b), but in no case shall the self-insurance with respect to all of the aircraft and engines in the Company’s fleet (including, without limitation, the Aircraft) exceed for any 12-month policy year 1% of the average aggregate insurable value (for the preceding policy year) of all aircraft (including, without limitation, the Aircraft) on which the Company carries insurance, unless an insurance broker of national standing shall certify that the standard among all other major United States airlines is a higher level of self-insurance, in which case the Company may self-insure the Aircraft to such higher level. In addition to the foregoing right to self-insure, the Company may self-insure to the extent of (1) any deductible per occurrence that, in the case of the Aircraft, is not in excess of the amount customarily allowed as a deductible in the industry or is required to facilitate claims handling or (2) any applicable mandatory minimum per aircraft (or if applicable per annum or other period) hull or liability insurance deductibles imposed by the aircraft or hull liability insurers.

(d) Application of Insurance Payments. All losses will be adjusted by the Company with the insurers. As between the Loan Trustee and the Company it is agreed that all insurance payments received under policies required to be maintained by the Company hereunder, exclusive of any payments received in excess of the Loan Amount, as the result of the occurrence of an Event of Loss with respect to the Airframe or an Engine will be applied as follows:

(i) if such payments are received with respect to the Airframe or the Airframe and any Engines installed on the Airframe that has been or is being replaced by the Company pursuant to Section 7.05(a), such payments shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Loan Trustee and upon completion of such replacement shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Company;

(ii) if such payments are received with respect to the Airframe or the Airframe and any Engines installed on the Airframe that has not been and will not be replaced as contemplated by Section 7.05(a), so much of such payments remaining after reimbursement of the Loan Trustee for its costs and expenses as shall not exceed the amounts required to be paid by the Company pursuant to Section 2.10 hereof shall be applied (A) in reduction of the Company’s obligation to pay such amounts, if not already paid by the Company, or, if already paid by the Company, shall be applied to reimburse the Company for its payment of such amounts and (B) the balance, if any, of such payment remaining thereafter will be paid over to, or retained by, the Company or its designee; and

(iii) if such payments are received with respect to an Engine with regard to which an Event of Loss contemplated by Section 7.05(b) has occurred, so much of such payments remaining after reimbursement of the Loan Trustee for its costs and expenses shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Company or its designee; provided that the Company shall have fully performed its obligations under Section 7.05(b) with respect to the Event of Loss for which such payments are made.

In all events, (x) the insurance payment of any property damage or loss with respect to property other than the Airframe or any Engine received under policies maintained by the Company, and (y) the insurance payment for any loss or damage to the Aircraft in excess of the Loan Amount, shall be paid to the Company or its designee.

The insurance payments for any loss or damage to the Airframe or an Engine not constituting an Event of Loss with respect to the Airframe or such Engine will be applied in payment (or to reimburse the Company) for repairs or for replacement property in accordance with the terms of Section 7.02 and Section 7.04, and any balance remaining after compliance with such Sections with respect to such loss or damage shall be paid to the Company or its designee. Any amount referred to in the preceding sentence or in clause (i) or (iii) of the second preceding paragraph that is payable to the Company or its designee shall not be paid to the Company (or, if it has been previously paid directly to the Company, shall not be retained by the Company) if at the time of such payment an

Event of Default or Payment Default shall have occurred and be continuing, but shall be paid to and, subject to Section 5.06, held by the Loan Trustee as security for the obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Participation Agreement, and at such time as there shall not be continuing any such Event of Default or Payment Default, such amount shall be paid to the Company or its designee.

(e) Reports, Etc. On or before the Closing Date and annually upon renewal of the Company’s insurance coverage, the Company will furnish to the Loan Trustee and each Liquidity Provider a report signed by a firm of independent aircraft insurance brokers appointed by the Company (which firm may be in the regular employ of the Company), stating the opinion of such firm that the commercial hull and liability insurance then carried and maintained on the Aircraft complies with the terms hereof; provided that all information contained in such report shall be Confidential Information and shall be treated by the Loan Trustee, each Liquidity Provider and each of their affiliates and officers, directors, agents and employees in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.16. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such firm to agree to advise the Loan Trustee and each Liquidity Provider in writing of any act or omission on the part of the Company of which such firm has knowledge that might invalidate or render unenforceable, in whole or in part, any insurance on the Aircraft. The Company will also use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such firm to advise the Loan Trustee and each Liquidity Provider in writing as promptly as practicable after such firm acquires knowledge that an interruption of any insurance carried and maintained on the Aircraft pursuant to this Section 7.06 will occur. Such information may only be provided to other Persons in accordance with Section 10.16.

(f) Salvage Rights. All salvage rights to the Airframe and each Engine shall remain with the Company’s insurers at all times, and any insurance policies of the Loan Trustee insuring the Airframe or any Engine shall provide for a release to the Company of any and all salvage rights in and to the Airframe or any Engine.

(g) Right to Pay Premium. In the event of cancellation of any insurance required to be maintained hereunder due to the nonpayment of premiums, the Loan Trustee shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to pay any such premium in respect to the Aircraft that is due in respect of the coverage pursuant to this Indenture and to maintain such coverage, as the Loan Trustee may require, until the scheduled expiry date of such insurance and, in such event, the Company shall, upon demand, reimburse the Loan Trustee for amounts so paid by it.

(h) Insurance for Own Account. Nothing in this Section 7.06 shall limit or prohibit (i) the Company from maintaining the policies of insurance required pursuant to this Section 7.06 with higher limits than those specified herein or (ii) the Loan Trustee or the Company from obtaining insurance for its own account, and at its sole expense, with

respect to the Airframe or any Engine (and any proceeds payable under such insurance shall be payable as provided in the insurance policy relating thereto); provided that no such insurance may be obtained which would limit or otherwise adversely affect the coverage or amounts payable under, or increase the premiums for, any insurance required to be maintained pursuant to this Section 7.06 or any other insurance maintained by the Company (or any Permitted Lessee) with respect to the Aircraft or any other aircraft in the Company’s (or such Permitted Lessee’s) fleet.

Section 8.01. Resignation or Removal; Appointment of Successor. (a) The resignation or removal of the Loan Trustee and the appointment of a successor Loan Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Loan Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 8.01. The Loan Trustee or any successor thereto must resign if at any time it ceases to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.01(c) and may resign at any time without cause by giving at least 60 days’ prior written notice to the Company and each Noteholder. In addition, either the Company (so long as no Event of Default or Payment Default shall have occurred and be continuing) or a Majority in Interest of Noteholders (but only with the consent of the Company so long as no Event of Default or Payment Default shall have occurred and be continuing), may at any time remove the Loan Trustee without cause by an instrument in writing delivered to the Loan Trustee and each Noteholder, and, in case of a removal by a Majority in Interest of Noteholders, to the Company. In the case of the resignation or removal of the Loan Trustee, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Loan Trustee. If a successor Loan Trustee shall not have been appointed within 60 days after such notice of resignation or removal, the Loan Trustee, the Company or any Noteholder may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Loan Trustee to act until such time, if any, as a successor shall have been appointed as above provided. The successor Loan Trustee so appointed by such court shall immediately and without further act be superseded by any successor Loan Trustee appointed as above provided.

(b) Any successor Loan Trustee, however appointed, shall execute and deliver to the predecessor Loan Trustee and the Company an instrument accepting such appointment and assuming the obligations of the Loan Trustee arising from and after the time of such appointment, and thereupon such successor Loan Trustee, without further act, shall become vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers and duties of the predecessor Loan Trustee hereunder in the trust hereunder applicable to it with like effect as if originally named the Loan Trustee herein; but nevertheless upon the written request of such successor Loan Trustee, such predecessor Loan Trustee shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Loan Trustee all the estates, properties,

rights and powers of such predecessor Loan Trustee, and such predecessor Loan Trustee shall duly assign, transfer, deliver and pay over to such successor Loan Trustee all monies or other property and all other books and records, or true, correct and complete copies thereof, then held by such predecessor Loan Trustee hereunder.

(c) This Indenture shall at all times have a Loan Trustee, however appointed, that is a Citizen of the United States (without the use of a voting trust) and a bank or trust company having a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 (or a combined capital and surplus in excess of $5,000,000 and the obligations of which, whether now in existence or hereafter incurred, are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or any state or territory thereof or the District of Columbia and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000) or a corporation with a net worth of at least $100,000,000, if there be such an institution willing, able and legally qualified to perform the duties of the Loan Trustee hereunder upon reasonable or customary terms. If such bank, trust company or corporation publishes reports of conditions at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of federal, state, territorial or District of Columbia supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.01(c) the combined capital and surplus of such bank, trust company or corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of conditions so published. In case at any time the Loan Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.01(c), the Loan Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.01(a).

(d) Any corporation, bank, trust company or other financial institution into which the Loan Trustee 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 Loan Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation, bank, trust company or other financial institution to which substantially all the corporate trust business of the Loan Trustee may be transferred, shall, subject to the terms of Section 8.01(c), be a successor Loan Trustee under this Indenture without further act.

Section 8.02. Appointment of Additional and Separate Trustees. (a) Whenever (i) the Loan Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable in order to conform to any law of any jurisdiction in which all or any part of the Collateral shall be situated or to make any claim or bring any suit with respect to or in connection with the Collateral, any Operative Document or any of the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents, (ii) the Loan Trustee shall be advised by counsel satisfactory to it that it is necessary or prudent in the interests of the Noteholders (and the Loan Trustee shall so advise the Company) or (iii) the Loan Trustee shall have been requested to do so by a Majority in Interest of Noteholders, then in any such case, the Loan Trustee and, upon the written request of the

Loan Trustee, the Company, shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto and such other instruments as may from time to time be necessary or advisable either (1) to constitute one or more banks or trust companies or corporations meeting the requirements of Section 8.01(c) and approved by the Loan Trustee, either to act jointly with the Loan Trustee as additional trustee or trustees of all or any part of the Collateral or to act as separate trustee or trustees of all or any part of the Collateral, in each case with such rights, powers, duties and obligations consistent with this Indenture as may be provided in such supplemental indenture or other instruments as the Loan Trustee or a Majority in Interest of Noteholders may deem necessary or advisable, or (2) to clarify, add to or subtract from the rights, powers, duties and obligations theretofore granted any such additional or separate trustee, subject in each case to the remaining provisions of this Section 8.02. If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no additional or supplemental trustee shall be appointed without the Company’s consent. If the Company shall not have taken any action requested of it under this Section 8.02(a) that is required by its terms within 15 days of a written request from the Loan Trustee to do so, or if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Loan Trustee may act under the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.02(a) without the concurrence of the Company, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company hereby irrevocably appoints (which appointment is coupled with an interest) the Loan Trustee as its agent and attorney-in-fact to act for it under the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.02(a). The Loan Trustee may, in such capacity, execute, deliver and perform any such supplemental indenture, or any such instrument, as may be required for the appointment of any such additional or separate trustee or for the clarification of, addition to or subtraction from the rights, powers, duties or obligations theretofore granted to any such additional or separate trustee, subject in each case to the remaining provisions of this Section 8.02. In case any additional or separate trustee appointed under this Section 8.02(a) shall become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the assets, property, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of such additional or separate trustee shall revert to the Loan Trustee until a successor additional or separate trustee is appointed as provided in this Section 8.02(a).

(b) No additional or separate trustee shall be entitled to exercise any of the rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred upon the Loan Trustee in respect of the custody, investment and payment of monies and all monies received by any such additional or separate trustee from or constituting part of the Collateral or otherwise payable under any Operative Documents to the Loan Trustee shall be promptly paid over by it to the Loan Trustee. All other rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon any additional or separate trustee shall be exercised or performed by the Loan Trustee and such additional or separate trustee jointly except to the extent that applicable law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed renders the Loan Trustee incompetent or unqualified to perform such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to all or part of the

Collateral in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such additional or separate trustee. No additional or separate trustee shall take any discretionary action except on the instructions of the Loan Trustee or a Majority in Interest of Noteholders. No trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder, except that the Loan Trustee shall be liable for the consequences of its lack of reasonable care in selecting, and the Loan Trustee’s own actions in acting with, any additional or separate trustee. Each additional or separate trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 8.02 shall be subject to, and shall have the benefit of Article IV, Article V, Article VI, Article VIII, Article IX and Article X hereof insofar as they apply to the Loan Trustee. The powers of any additional or separate trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 8.02 shall not in any case exceed those of the Loan Trustee hereunder.

(c) If at any time the Loan Trustee shall deem it no longer necessary or desirable for an additional or separate trustee to be appointed hereunder or in the event that the Loan Trustee shall have been requested to do so in writing by a Majority in Interest of Noteholders, the Loan Trustee and, upon the written request of the Loan Trustee, the Company, shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto and all other instruments and agreements necessary or advisable to remove any additional or separate trustee. The Loan Trustee may act on behalf of the Company under this Section 8.02(c) when and to the extent it could so act under Section 8.02(a) hereof. In any case, the Company may remove an additional or separate trustee in the manner set forth in Section 8.01.

Section 9.01. Amendments to this Indenture without Consent of Holders. At any time after the date hereof, the Company may and the Loan Trustee shall, at the Company’s request, enter into one or more agreements supplemental hereto and to amend the Equipment Notes, without notice to or consent of any Noteholder, Indenture Indemnitee or Related Indenture Indemnitee for any of the following purposes: (i) to evidence the succession of another Person to the Company and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Company contained in any Operative Documents pursuant to Section 6.02(e) of the Participation Agreement; (ii) to cure any defect or inconsistency herein or in the Equipment Notes, or to make any change not inconsistent with the provisions hereof (provided that such change does not adversely affect the interests of any Noteholder, any Indenture Indemnitee or any Related Indenture Indemnitee in its capacity solely as Noteholder, Indenture Indemnitee or Related Indenture Indemnitee, as the case may be); (iii) to cure any ambiguity or correct any mistake; (iv) to evidence the succession of a new trustee hereunder pursuant hereto or the removal of the trustee hereunder or to provide for or facilitate the appointment of an
