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 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 and each of the Rating Agencies not less than two Business Days’ prior notice substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (a “Closing Notice”) of the scheduled closing date (the “Scheduled Closing Date”) (or, in the case of a substitute Closing Notice under Section 1(e) hereof, one Business Days’ prior notice) in respect of the financing of the Aircraft under this Agreement, which notice shall:

(i) specify the Scheduled Closing Date of the Aircraft (which shall be a Business Day before the Cut-off Date and the date (the “Funding Date”) on which the financing therefor in the manner provided herein shall be consummated);

(ii) instruct the Pass Through Trustees to enter into the Participation Agreements included in the Financing Agreements with respect to each relevant Aircraft at such a time on or before the Funding Date specified in such Closing Notice and to perform its obligations thereunder;

(iii) instruct the Pass Through Trustees to instruct the relevant Escrow Agent to provide a Notice of Purchase Withdrawal to the Depositary with respect to the Equipment Notes to be issued to the Pass Through Trustees in connection with the financing of the relevant Aircraft; and

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

(c) Upon receipt of a Closing Notice, the Pass Through Trustees shall, and shall cause the Subordination Agent to, enter into and perform their respective obligations under the Participation Agreements specified in such Closing Notice, provided that such Participation Agreements and the Indentures to be entered into pursuant to such Participation Agreements shall be in the forms thereof annexed hereto. With respect to each Aircraft to be refinanced on a Closing Date, the Company shall cause WTC (or such other person that meets the eligibility requirements to act as loan trustee under the relevant Indentures) 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 either Rating Agency, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to 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 closing documentation (including legal opinions) delivered to the related Loan Trustee, Subordination Agent and Pass Through Trustees under the related Participation Agreement.

(d) The Company agrees that all Equipment Notes issued pursuant to any Indenture shall initially be registered in the name of the Subordination Agent on behalf of the relevant Pass Through Trustee (or, in the case of any Additional Series Equipment Notes, on behalf of the Additional Pass Through Trustee with respect to the corresponding Additional Certificates).

(e) If after giving any Closing Notice, there shall be a delay in the refinancing of the Encumbered Aircraft, or if on the Scheduled Closing Date of the Encumbered Aircraft or Unencumbered Aircraft referred to therein the financing thereof in the manner contemplated hereby shall not be consummated for whatever reason, the Company shall give the parties hereto and the Depositary prompt notice thereof. Concurrently with the giving of such notice of postponement or subsequently, the Company shall give the parties hereto and the Depositary a substitute Closing Notice specifying the date to which the financing of such Aircraft 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 5.01 of each of the Trust Supplements and thereafter the financing of such Aircraft, as specified in such substitute Closing Notice, shall take place on the re-scheduled Closing Date therefor (all on and subject to the terms and conditions of the relevant Financing Agreements) unless further postponed as provided herein.

(f) The Company shall have no liability for the failure of the Pass Through Trustees to purchase Equipment Notes with respect to any Aircraft it is obligated to purchase hereunder.

(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.

Section 2. Conditions Precedent. The obligation of the Pass Through Trustees to enter into, and to cause the Subordination Agent to enter into, any Participation Agreement as directed pursuant to a Closing Notice and to perform its obligations thereunder is subject to no Triggering Event having occurred. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligation of each Pass Through Trustee to purchase Equipment Notes shall terminate on the Cut-off Date.

Each of the parties hereto agrees, at the Company’s request and expense, 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 Deposit Agreements resulting from the delivery of any Withdrawal Notice delivered thereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the execution and delivery of the Replacement Deposit Agreements.

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