NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

Section 1.                                          Financing of Aircraft.  (a)  The Company confirms that it has entered into the Aircraft Purchase Agreement with the Manufacturer pursuant to which the Company has

 

2



 

agreed to purchase, and the Manufacturer has agreed to deliver, the Aircraft in the months specified in Schedule I hereto, all on and subject to terms and conditions specified in the Aircraft Purchase Agreement.  The Company agrees to finance the Aircraft in the manner provided herein, all on and subject to the terms and conditions hereof and of the relevant Financing Agreements.

 

(b)                                 In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company agrees to give the parties hereto, the Depositary, the Policy Provider and each of the Rating Agencies not less than two Business Days’ prior written notice in the form of the notice set out in Exhibit A hereto (a “Funding Notice”) of the scheduled financing date (the “Scheduled Financing Date”) (or, in the case of a substitute Funding Notice under Section 1(e) hereof, one Business Day’s prior notice) in respect of each Aircraft under the Aircraft Purchase Agreement, which notice shall:

 

(i)                                     specify the Scheduled Financing Date of such Aircraft (which shall be a Business Day before the Cut–off Date and no later than 90 days after the Delivery Date of such Aircraft and, except as provided in Section 1(e) hereof, the date (the “Funding Date”) on which the financing therefor in the manner provided herein shall be consummated);

(iii)                               instruct the applicable Pass Through Trustee to enter into the Participation Agreement included in the Financing Agreements with respect to such Aircraft at such a time on or before the Funding Date specified in such Funding Notice and to perform its obligations thereunder; and

 

(iv)                              specify the aggregate principal amount of each series of Equipment Notes to be issued, and purchased by the Pass Through Trustees, in connection with the financing of such Aircraft scheduled to be delivered on such Funding Date.

 

(c)                                  Upon receipt of a Funding Notice, the Pass Through Trustees shall, and shall cause the Subordination Agent to, enter into and perform their obligations under the Participation Agreement and other instructions specified in such Funding Notice, provided that such Participation Agreement and the other Financing Agreements to be entered into pursuant to such Participation Agreement shall be in the forms thereof annexed hereto.  With respect to each Aircraft, the Company shall direct WTC (or such other person that meets the eligibility requirements to act as mortgagee under the Indenture) to execute as Loan Trustee the Financing Agreements relating to such Aircraft to which such Loan Trustee is intended to be a party, and the Company shall concurrently therewith execute such Financing Agreements to which the Company is intended to be a party and perform its respective obligations thereunder.  Upon the request of the Policy Provider or of either Rating Agency, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Policy Provider or such Rating Agency a true and complete copy of each Financing Agreement relating to the financing of each Aircraft together with a true and complete

set of the legal opinions delivered to the related Loan Trustee, Subordination Agent and Pass Through Trustee under the related Participation Agreement.

 

(d)                                 If after giving any Funding Notice, there shall be a delay in the financing of an Aircraft, or if on the Scheduled Financing Date of an Aircraft the financing thereof in the manner contemplated hereby shall not be consummated for whatever reason, the Company shall give the parties hereto and the Policy Provider prompt notice thereof.  Concurrently with the giving of such notice of postponement or subsequently, the Company shall give the parties hereto and the Policy Provider a substitute Funding Notice specifying the date to which such delivery and related financing shall have been re–scheduled (which shall be a Business Day before the Cut–off Date on which the Escrow Agents shall be entitled to withdraw one or more Deposits under each of the applicable Deposit Agreements to enable each applicable Pass Through Trustee to fund its purchase of the related Equipment Notes).  Upon receipt of any such notice of postponement, each applicable Pass Through Trustee shall comply with its obligations under Section 2.01 of each of the Pass Through Trust Agreements and thereafter the financing of the relevant Aircraft shall take place on the re–scheduled financing date therefor (all on and subject to the terms and conditions of the relevant Financing Agreements) unless further postponed as provided herein.

 

(e)                                  If the scheduled Delivery Date for any Aircraft is delayed for any reason (including the casualty loss thereof) more than 30 days beyond the last day of the month set forth opposite such Aircraft under the heading “Scheduled Delivery Months” in Schedule I hereto, the Company may identify for delivery a substitute aircraft therefor meeting the following conditions (a “Substitute Aircraft”):  (i) a Substitute Aircraft must be an Airbus A320–200 aircraft equipped with International Aero Engines model V2527-A5 engines, in each case manufactured after the date of this Agreement and (ii) the Company shall be obligated to obtain prior written consent of the Policy Provider and to obtain Rating Agency Confirmation in respect of the replacement of any Aircraft by Substitute Aircraft.  Upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth above with respect to a Substitute Aircraft, the Aircraft to be replaced shall cease to be subject to this Agreement and all rights and obligations of the parties hereto concerning such Aircraft shall cease, and such Substitute Aircraft shall become and thereafter be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as such Aircraft.

 

(f)                                    The Company shall have no liability for the failure of the Pass Through Trustees to purchase Equipment Notes with respect to any Aircraft or Substitute Aircraft, other than the Company’s obligation, if any, to pay the Deposit Break Amount pursuant to Section 4(a)(i) of this Agreement.

 

(g)                                 Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not have the right, and shall not be entitled, at any time to request the issuance of Equipment Notes of any series to any Pass Through Trustee in an aggregate principal amount in excess of the amount of the Deposits then available for withdrawal by the Escrow Agent under and in accordance with the provisions of the related Deposit Agreement.

(v)                                 On the Issuance Date, the Depositary’s long–term issuer credit rating shall be at least A from Standard & Poor’s and short-term unsecured debt rating shall be P–1 from Moody’s (the “Depository Threshold Rating”).  If the Depositary’s long–term issuer credit rating or short-term unsecured debt rating, as the case may be, shall at any time fall below A from Standard & Poor’s or P–1 from Moody’s (provided, that so long as HSH Nordbank is the Depositary, for Standard & Poor’s the “long-term issuer credit rating” shall refer to (x) on or prior to July 18, 2005, HSH Nordbank’s long-term issuer credit rating with the benefit of state guarantees and (y) after July 18, 2005, HSH Nordbank’s long-term issuer credit rating without the benefit of state guarantees unless Standard & Poor’s has notified the Subordination Agent that another rating would be applicable to HSH Nordbank’s obligations under the Deposit Agreements, in which case, such other applicable rating), as the case may be, the Company shall, within 45 days of such event occurring, cause the Depositary to be replaced with a depository bank (a “Replacement Depositary”) on the following terms and preconditions:

 

(A)                              the Replacement Depositary must be one that meets the Depositary Threshold Rating (unless the Company shall have obtained (i) written confirmation from each Rating Agency that such replacement will not cause a reduction of any rating then in effect for any Class of Certificates by such Rating Agency (without regard to any downgrading of any rating of the Depositary being replaced and without regard to the Policies) and (ii) the prior written consent of the Policy Provider) and the Company shall have obtained written confirmation from each Rating Agency that such replacement will not cause a reduction of any rating then in effect for any Class of Certificates by such Rating Agency (without regard to any downgrading of any rating of the Depositary being replaced and without regard to the Policies);

 

(B)                                the Company shall pay all fees, expenses and other amounts then owing to the replaced Depositary; and

 

(C)                                the Company shall cause the Escrow Agent and the Replacement Depositary to enter into a Replacement Deposit Agreement for each Class of Certificates and shall cause the Replacement Depositary to deliver to the Company, the Policy Provider and each Rating Agency legal opinions and other

closing documentation substantially similar in scope and substance as those that were delivered by the Depositary being replaced in connection with the execution and delivery of the Deposit Agreement being replaced.

 

Upon satisfaction of the foregoing conditions, the Company shall instruct each Pass Through Trustee, and each Pass Through Trustee agrees, to execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent a duly completed Withdrawal Certificate (as defined in the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreements) together with a Notice of Replacement Withdrawal (as defined in the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreements).

 

Each of the parties hereto agrees, at the Company’s request, to enter into any amendments to this Agreement, the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreements and any other Operative Agreements as may be necessary or desirable to give effect to the replacement of the Depositary with the Replacement Depositary and the replacement of the Deposit Agreements with the Replacement Deposit Agreements.

 

Upon the execution and delivery of the Replacement Deposit Agreements, the Replacement Depositary shall be deemed to be the Depositary with all of the rights and obligations of the Depositary hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements and the Replacement Deposit Agreements shall be deemed to be the Deposit Agreements hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements, except that the obligations of the replaced Depositary under the last two sentences of Section 2.4 of its Deposit Agreements shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the execution and delivery of the Replacement Deposit Agreements.

(c)                                  The Subordination Agent covenants with each of the other parties hereto that it will not agree or consent to any amendment or modification to any Liquidity Facility, the Policy Provider Agreement or the JetBlue Provisions (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) of the Intercreditor Agreement without the Company’s consent, if such amendment or modification would materially adversely affect the interests of the Company.

 

(d)                                 The Escrow Agent covenants with each of the other parties hereto that it will not agree or consent to any amendment or modification to (i) any Deposit Agreement or Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement without the Company’s consent if such amendment or modification would adversely affect the interests of the Company or (ii) the Deposit Agreement for the Class G-1Trust, Class G-2 Trust or the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement for the Class G-1 Trust or Class G-2 Trust without the Policy Provider’s consent, if such amendment or modification would adversely affect the interests of the Policy Provider.
