ARTICLE II
 
The Securities
 
Section 2.01.        Form, Dating and Terms.  Certain provisions relating to the Securities are set forth in the Appendix attached hereto (the "Appendix"), which is hereby incorporated in, and expressly made a part of, the Indenture.  The Securities and the Trustee's certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A, which is hereby incorporated in, and expressly made a part of, this Indenture.  The Securities may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule, agreements to which NAC 29 or any Guarantor is subject, if any, or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to NAC 29).  Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.  The Securities shall be in minimum denominations of $1.00 and integral multiples of $1.00 thereof.  The terms and provisions contained in the Securities shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and each of NAC 29, NAC DAC and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agrees to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.  However, to the extent any provision of any Security conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling.
 
The aggregate principal amount of Securities that may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is limited to $[•] and NAC 29 may not "re-open" this Indenture to issue additional Securities after the Issue Date, in each case, except for Securities issued upon registration of transfer of, or exchange for, or in lieu of other Securities pursuant to Sections 2.06, 2.08, 2.10, 3.06, or 9.05 or pursuant to Sections 2.3 or 2.4 of the Appendix.
 
Section 2.02.        Execution and Authentication.  An Officer of NAC 29 shall sign the Securities for NAC 29 by manual, facsimile or other electronic signature.
 
If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security, the Security shall be valid nevertheless.
 
A Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Security.  The manual signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture.
 
The Trustee shall, upon the written direction of NAC 29, authenticate and make available for delivery Securities, as set forth in Section 2.2 of the Appendix.
 
The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to NAC 29 to authenticate the Securities.  Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument signed by a Trust Officer, a copy of which shall be furnished to NAC 29.  Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so.  Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent.  An authenticating agent has the same rights as any Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and demands.
 
- 45 -

Section 2.03.       Registrar and Paying Agent.  NAC 29 shall maintain an office or agency where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange for other Securities (the "Registrar") and an office or agency where Securities may be presented for payment (the "Paying Agent").  The Registrar shall keep a register (the "Security Register") of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange.  NAC 29 may have one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents.  The term "Registrar" includes any co-registrar; and the term "Paying Agent" includes any additional paying agent.  Where required in order to ensure no withholding tax arises on payments of interest on the Securities, NAC 29 shall ensure that the appointed Paying Agent is not in Ireland for the purposes of Section 64 TCA.
 
NAC 29 shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar, Paying Agent or co-registrar not a party to this Indenture, which shall incorporate the terms of the TIA.  The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent.  NAC 29 shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any such agent.  If NAC 29 fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.07.  NAC 29 or any Wholly-Owned Subsidiary incorporated or organized within the United States of America may act as Paying Agent, Registrar, co-registrar or transfer agent.
 
NAC 29 initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent in connection with the Securities and the Trustee accepts such appointment as the initial Registrar and Paying Agent.
 
NAC 29 may remove any Registrar or Paying Agent upon written notice to such Registrar or Paying Agent and to the Trustee; provided, however, that no such removal shall become effective until (i) if applicable, acceptance of an appointment by a successor as evidenced by an appropriate agreement entered into by NAC 29 and such successor Registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may be, and delivered to the Trustee or (ii) notification to the Trustee that the Trustee shall serve as Registrar or Paying Agent until the appointment of a successor in accordance with clause (i) above.  The Registrar or Paying Agent may resign at any time upon written notice to NAC 29 and the Trustee, in which case the Trustee shall serve as Registrar or Paying Agent until the appointment of a successor; provided, however, that the Trustee may resign as Paying Agent or Registrar only if the Trustee also resigns as Trustee in accordance with Section 7.08.
 
With respect to any Global Securities, the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee shall be the office of agency where such Global Securities may be presented or surrendered for payment or for registration of transfer or exchange, or where successor Securities may be delivered in exchange therefor; provided, however, that any such presentation, surrender or delivery effected pursuant to the Applicable Procedures shall be deemed to have been effected at such office or agency in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.
 
- 46 -

Whenever any Security is held by a Holder that, or the beneficial owner of the Security, is not a "United States person" within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, then it is the intention of NAC 29 and such Holder, or the beneficial owner of the Security, that (x) all interest accrued and paid on such Security will be eligible to qualify for exemption from United States withholding tax (excluding United States withholding tax imposed by FATCA) as "portfolio interest" because such Security is an obligation which is in "registered form" within the meaning of Sections 871(h)(2)(B) and 881(c)(2)(B) of the Code (or any successor provision thereto) and the applicable Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and (y) as such, to the extent the requirements relating to the "portfolio interest" exemption are satisfied, all interest accrued and paid on this Security will be exempt from United States information reporting under Sections 6041 and 6049 of the Code and United States backup withholding under Section 3406 of the Code.  NAC 29 (or its agents), on the one hand, and the applicable Holder, or the beneficial owner of the Security, on the other, shall reasonably cooperate with one another, and execute and file such forms or other documents, or do or refrain from doing such other acts, as may be required, to secure exemption from United States withholding tax (including FATCA), information reporting, and backup withholding, as applicable.  In furtherance of the foregoing, any Holder, transferee or assignee Holder, or the beneficial owner of the Security, may from time to time provide (x) any applicable U.S. Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") Form W-9, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI or W-8IMY (with any applicable attachments) or applicable successor form, and (y) to the extent such Holder, transferee or assignee Holder, or the beneficial owner of the Security, as applicable, is not a United States person and is claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of "portfolio interest," a certificate reasonably satisfactory to NAC 29 to the effect that such Holder, transferee or assignee Holder, or the beneficial owner of the Security, as applicable, is not (i) a "10-percent shareholder" of NAC 29 within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, (ii) a "controlled foreign corporation" related to NAC 29 as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C), or (iii) a "bank" extending credit to NAC 29 in the ordinary course of its trade or business as described in Section 881(c)(3)(A).  NAC 29 shall take into account such documentation in good faith.
 
Section 2.04.        Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.  Prior to each due date of the principal and interest or premium on any Security, NAC 29 shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or if NAC 29 or a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary is acting as Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto) a sum sufficient to pay such principal and interest and premium, when so becoming due.  NAC 29 shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders, the Trustee and the Security Agent all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or cash interest on the Securities and shall notify the Trustee of any default by NAC 29 in making any such payment.  If NAC 29 or any other member of the NAC Group acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund.  NAC 29 at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by the Paying Agent.  Upon complying with this Section, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee.  Upon any Event of Default specified in paragraphs (i), (j) and (k) of Section 6.01, the Trustee shall automatically serve as the Paying Agent for the Securities.
 
Section 2.05.       Securityholder Lists.  The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a).  If the Trustee is not the Registrar, NAC 29 shall furnish, or cause the Registrar to furnish, to the Trustee, in writing at least five (5) Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders and NAC 29 shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a).
 
- 47 -

Section 2.06.       Transfer and Exchange.  The Securities shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Security for registration of transfer in compliance with the Appendix.  When a Security is presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if the requirements of this Indenture and Section 8-401(a) of the Uniform Commercial Code are met.  When Securities are presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of other denominations, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements are met.  To permit registration of transfers and exchanges for other Securities, NAC 29 shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at NAC 29's request.  NAC 29 may require the Holders to make a payment of a sum sufficient to pay all Taxes, assessments or other governmental charges in connection with any transfer or exchange pursuant to this Section (other than any such transfer Taxes, assessments or similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges not involving any transfer pursuant to Sections 2.06, 2.08, 2.10, 3.06 and 9.05 of this Indenture or Sections 2.3 or 2.4 of the Appendix).  NAC 29 shall not be required to make and the Registrar need not register transfers or exchanges of (a) Securities selected for redemption (except, in the case of Securities to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed) or (b) any Securities for a period of 15 days before a selection of Securities to be redeemed or 15 days before an Interest Payment Date.
 
Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Security, NAC 29, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar or any co-registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name a Security is registered as the absolute owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security is overdue, and none of NAC 29, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar or any co-registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
 
Any holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Security shall, by acceptance of such beneficial interest, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Security may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by (a) the holder of such Global Security (or its agent) or (b) any holder of a beneficial interest in such Global Security, and that ownership of a beneficial interest in such Global Security shall be required to be reflected in a book entry.
 
All Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange for other Securities pursuant to the terms of this Indenture shall evidence the same debt and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.
 
Section 2.07.        [Intentionally Blank].
 
Section 2.08.        Replacement Securities.  If a mutilated Security is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, NAC 29 shall issue and the Trustee, upon NAC 29's written instruction, shall authenticate a replacement Security if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met and the Holder (a) satisfies NAC 29 and the Trustee within a reasonable time after such Holder has notice of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking and the Registrar does not register a transfer prior to receiving such notification, (b) makes such request to NAC 29 and the Trustee prior to the Security being acquired by a protected purchaser as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code and (c) satisfies any other reasonable requirements of NAC 29, NAC DAC and the Trustee.  If required by the Trustee or NAC 29, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of NAC 29 to protect NAC 29, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and any co-registrar and in the judgment of the Trustee to protect the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and any of the Trustee's agents from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced.  NAC 29 and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Security (including without limitation attorneys' fees and disbursements in replacing such Security).  Every replacement Security is an additional Obligation of NAC 29.
 
- 48 -

The provisions of this Section 2.08 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Securities.
 
Section 2.09.        Outstanding Securities.  Securities outstanding at any time are all Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section as not outstanding.  Subject to Section 13.06, a Security does not cease to be outstanding because NAC 29 or an Affiliate of NAC 29 holds the Security.
 
If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and NAC 29 receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Security is held by a protected purchaser (as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code).
 
If the Paying Agent segregates and holds in trust, in accordance with this Indenture, on a redemption date or repurchase date or maturity date money sufficient to pay all principal and interest payable on that date with respect to the Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or repurchased or maturing, as the case may be, then on and after that date such Securities (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.
 
Section 2.10.        Temporary Securities.  In the event that Definitive Securities are to be issued under the terms of this Indenture, until such Definitive Securities are ready for delivery, NAC 29 may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities.  Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of Definitive Securities but may have variations that NAC 29 considers appropriate for temporary Securities.  Without unreasonable delay, NAC 29 shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Securities and make them available for delivery in exchange for temporary Securities upon surrender of such temporary Securities at the office or agency of NAC 29, without charge to the Holder.  Until such exchange, temporary Securities shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as Definitive Securities.
 
Section 2.11.        Cancellation.  NAC 29 at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation.  The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange for other Securities or payment.  The Trustee and no one else shall cancel and destroy (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act) all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange for other Securities, payment or cancellation in accordance with the Trustee's customary procedures and, upon written request, deliver a certificate of such cancellation to NAC 29.  NAC 29 may not issue new Securities to replace Securities it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.  The Trustee shall not authenticate Securities in place of cancelled Securities other than pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.
 
- 49 -

Section 2.12.        Defaulted Interest.  If NAC 29 defaults in a payment of interest or any other amount on the Securities, NAC 29 shall pay defaulted interest at the Default Rate.  NAC 29 may pay the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date.  NAC 29 shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date, which shall be not less than 15 days prior to the proposed payment date, and at least 5 days prior to such special record date, shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to each affected Holder and the Trustee a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.
 
Section 2.13.       CUSIP Numbers, ISINs, etc.  NAC 29 in issuing the Securities may use "CUSIP" numbers and ISINs (in each case if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use "CUSIP" numbers and ISINs in notices as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such notice shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.  NAC 29 shall advise the Trustee in writing of any change in any "CUSIP" numbers or ISINs applicable to the Securities.
 
Section 2.14.       Calculation of Specified Percentage of Securities.  Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, with respect to any matter requiring consent, waiver, approval or other action of the Holders of a specified percentage of the principal amount of all the Securities, such percentage shall be calculated, on the relevant date of determination, by dividing (a) the principal amount, as of such date of determination, of the Securities, the Holders of which have so consented by (b) the aggregate principal amount, as of such date of determination, of the Securities then outstanding, in each case, as determined in accordance with Section 2.09 and Section 13.06 of this Indenture.  Any such calculation made pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be made by NAC 29 and delivered to the Trustee in an Officer's Certificate.
 
Section 2.15.        Withholding.
 
(a)           All payments whatsoever under this Indenture and the Securities will be made by NAC 29 free and clear of, and without liability for withholding or deduction for or on account of, any present or future Taxes of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of any jurisdiction, unless the withholding or deduction of such Tax is compelled by law.
 
(a)          If any deduction or withholding for any Tax shall at any time be required in respect of any amounts to be paid by NAC 29 under this Indenture or the Securities, NAC 29, will pay to the relevant tax authority the full amount required to be withheld, deducted or otherwise paid before penalties attach thereto or interest accrues thereon and pay to each Holder of a Security such additional amounts (each an "Additional Payment") as may be necessary in order that the net amounts paid to such Holder pursuant to the terms of this Indenture or the Securities after such deduction, withholding or payment (including any required deduction or withholding of Tax on or with respect to such additional amount), shall be not less than the amounts then due and payable to such Holder under the terms of this Indenture or the Securities before the assessment of such Tax, provided that no payment of any additional amounts shall be required to be made for or on account of:
 
(i)        any Tax that would not have been imposed but for the existence of any present or former connection between such Holder (or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member of, shareholder of, or possessor of a power over, such Holder, if such holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation or any Person other than the holder to whom the Securities or any amount payable thereon is attributable for the purposes of such Tax) and the jurisdiction imposing such Tax, other than the mere holding of the relevant Securities or the receipt of payments thereunder or in respect thereof or the exercise of remedies in respect thereof, including such Holder (or such other Person described in the above parenthetical) being or having been a citizen or resident thereof, or being or having been present or engaged in trade or business therein or having or having had an establishment, office, fixed base or branch therein, provided that the exclusion in this subclause (i) shall not apply with respect to a Tax that would not have been imposed but for NAC 29 after the date of this Indenture, opening an office in, moving an office to, reincorporating in, or changing the jurisdiction from or through which payments on account of this Indenture or the Securities are made to, the jurisdiction imposing the relevant Tax;
 
- 50 -

(ii)         any Tax that would not have been imposed but for the delay or failure by such Holder in filing any forms that are required to be filed by such holder to avoid or reduce such Taxes (including for such purpose any extensions, re-filing's or renewals of filings that may from time to time be required in the relevant jurisdiction);
 
(iii)        for any Tax imposed by, or deducted or withheld pursuant to, FATCA; or
 
(iv)         any combination of clauses (i), (ii), and (iii) above.
 
ARTICLE III
 
Redemption
 
Section 3.01.        Notices to Trustee.  If NAC 29 elects to redeem Securities pursuant to Section 3.07 or Section 3.12 hereof, or is required to redeem Securities pursuant to the mandatory redemption provisions of Section 3.08, Section 3.09 or Section 3.10 hereof, NAC 29 shall notify the Trustee in writing at least two (2) Business Days (or such shorter period as the Trustee may agree) prior to the date on which notice is to be sent to the Holders pursuant to Section 3.03, of the redemption date, the principal amount of Securities to be redeemed and the Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption will occur.
 
Section 3.02.       Selection of Securities To Be Redeemed.  If fewer than all the Securities are to be redeemed pursuant to the notice sent pursuant to Section 3.03, the Trustee shall select the Securities for redemption in compliance with the requirements of the principal securities exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed, as certified to the Trustee by NAC 29, and in compliance with the requirements of the Depository, or if the Securities are not so listed or such exchange prescribes no method of selection and the Securities are not held through the Depository or the Depository prescribes no method of selection, the Trustee shall select on a pro rata basis, subject to adjustments so that no Security in an unauthorized denomination remains outstanding after such redemption.  The Trustee shall make the selection from outstanding Securities not previously called for redemption.  Securities and portions of them the Trustee selects shall be in principal amounts of $1.00 or whole multiples of $1.00.  Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities called for redemption.  The Trustee shall notify NAC 29 promptly of the Securities or portions of Securities to be redeemed.
 
- 51 -

Section 3.03.      Notice of Redemption.  If NAC 29 elects to redeem Securities pursuant to Section 3.07 or Section 3.12 hereof, or is required to redeem Securities pursuant to the mandatory redemption provisions of Section 3.08, Section 3.09 or Section 3.10 hereof, NAC 29 shall send a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed (with a copy to the Trustee) at least 5 Business Days (but not more than 60 days) before the redemption date for any such redemption, and shall upload such notice of redemption to the VDR on the same date that such notice is so sent.  Such notice shall be sent to such Holder's registered address (with a copy to the Trustee), or otherwise in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of the Depository.
 
The notice shall identify the Securities to be redeemed and shall state:
 
(1)          the redemption date;
 
(2)          the redemption price;
 
(3)          the name and address of the Paying Agent;
 
(4)          that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;
 
(5)        if fewer than all the outstanding Securities are to be redeemed, the identification and principal amounts of the particular Securities to be redeemed and the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be outstanding after such partial redemption, and that on and after the redemption date, upon surrender of any Security to be redeemed only in part, a new Security in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof shall be issued;
 
(6)         that unless NAC 29 defaults in making such redemption payment, on the redemption date, the redemption price will become due and payable upon each Security of portion thereof to be redeemed and that interest on the Securities (or portion thereof) called for redemption will cease to accrue on and after the redemption date and the only remaining right of the Holders of such Securities on and after the redemption date is to receive payment of the redemption price upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the Securities redeemed;
 
(7)          the "CUSIP" number printed on the Securities being redeemed; and
 
(8)          that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the "CUSIP" number, listed in such notice or printed on the Securities.
 
At NAC 29's request made in an Officer’s Certificate and delivered at least two (2) Business Days in the case of Global Securities and five (5) Business Days in the case of definitive Securities prior to the date on which notices of redemption are to be sent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Trustee), the Trustee shall deliver the notice of redemption to the Holders in NAC 29's name and at NAC 29's expense.  In such event, NAC 29 shall provide the Trustee with the information required by this Section.
 
- 52 -

Section 3.04.       Effect of Notice of Redemption.  Once a notice of redemption is sent pursuant to Section 3.03, Securities called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price stated in the notice and from and after such redemption date (unless NAC 29 defaults in the payment of the redemption price and accrued and unpaid interest), such Securities will cease to bear interest.  Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the redemption price stated in the notice, plus accrued interest to but not including the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the related Interest Payment Date), and such Securities shall be cancelled by the Trustee.  Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice to any Holder shall not affect the validity of the notice to any other Holder.
 
Section 3.05.       Deposit of Redemption Price.  Prior to 11:00 A.M. New York City time on the redemption date, NAC 29 shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if NAC 29 or any other member of the NAC Group is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed on that date other than Securities or portions of Securities called for redemption which have been delivered by NAC 29 to the Trustee for cancellation.
 
Section 3.06.        Securities Redeemed in Part.  Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in part, NAC 29 shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder (at NAC 29's expense) a new Security equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered.

   (a)          If (A) any NAC 29 Aircraft AOE, NAC 29 Aircraft Asset or NAC 29 Disposal Component (or any of their related parts) is the subject of a Final Disposition, or (B) (unless the relevant NAC 29 Aircraft Asset is On-Lease and the relevant Lease Obligor is required to, and does, transfer beneficial title to a member of the NAC 29 Group of a substitute aircraft or engine that meets the requirements of the Lease, and which will itself become a "NAC 29 Aircraft Asset" following that transfer), any NAC 29 Aircraft Asset suffers a Total Loss, then the Net Sale Proceeds or Total Loss Proceeds (as applicable) (the "Relevant Proceeds"), will be paid to the Proceeds Account and then applied as follows:
 
(i)          subject to paragraphs (ii) and (iii) below, an amount equal to the Notes Proportion of 50% of the Relevant MAMV for the relevant NAC 29 Aircraft Asset or NAC 29 Disposal Component (or, in the case of a Final Disposition of an NAC 29 Aircraft AOE, all of the NAC 29 Aircraft Assets owned by that NAC 29 Aircraft AOE) will (in each case) be applied to the redemption of Securities with principal outstanding equal to such amount within 30 Business Days after the date of receipt of the Relevant Proceeds;
 
- 53 -

(ii)          in the case of any Part-Out Sale in respect of a NAC 29 Aircraft Asset or a NAC 29 Disposal Component, the Notes Proportion of the Net Sale Proceeds of any such Part-Out Sale will be applied to the redemption of Securities with principal outstanding equal to such amount within 30 Business Days after the date of receipt, until such time as the principal amounts of the Securities redeemed pursuant to this paragraph (ii) for that NAC 29 Aircraft Asset or (as applicable) NAC 29 Disposal Component is equal to the Notes Proportion of 50% of the Relevant MAMV for that NAC 29 Aircraft Asset or (as applicable) NAC 29 Disposal Component; or

(A)          if , following receipt of all Relevant Proceeds for any NAC 29 Aircraft AOE, NAC 29 Aircraft Asset or NAC 29 Disposal Component (as applicable) (the "Final Receipt Date"), the Required Redemption Amount exceeds the actual aggregate Relevant Proceeds received for that NAC 29 Aircraft AOE, NAC 29 Aircraft Asset or NAC 29 Disposal Component (as applicable) (which (x) in the case of any Part-Out Sale, will be calculated once (in the good faith opinion of the Servicer) all Part-Out Sales for that NAC 29 Aircraft Asset or NAC 29 Disposal Component have been completed, or (y) in the case of any Permitted Finance Lease, will be calculated once all amounts due under the Permitted Finance Lease have been paid in full and title to the relevant NAC 29 Aircraft Asset or NAC 29 Disposal Component has been transferred to the finance lessee thereunder), then NAC 29 will be required to redeem Securities with a principal outstanding that is equal to such shortfall amount (a "Shortfall Redemption"), using Cash within 30 Business Days after the Final Receipt Date.  For the avoidance of doubt, NAC 29 will not be entitled to fund any Shortfall Redemption from amounts standing to the credit of the Proceeds Account and only free and unrestricted Cash from within the NAC Group may be used for such purpose;
 
(B)          without prejudice to the obligation to ensure that all Relevant Proceeds are paid into the Proceeds Account, if the aggregate outstanding Required Redemption Amount (including the amount of any Shortfall Redemption) and Excess Proceeds Redemption Amounts are less than the Notes Proportion of $5,000,000, then NAC 29 will not be required to redeem the requisite Securities until the earlier of the next Interest Payment Date and the date falling 10 Business Days after the date on which the aggregate outstanding Required Redemption Amount (including the amount of any Shortfall Redemption) and Excess Proceeds Redemption Amounts do exceed the Notes Proportion of $5,000,000; and
 
- 54 -

(C)          in the case of any Final Disposition where the consideration is anticipated to be received other than in cash (including if it is anticipated to be received in the form of shares in any Permitted Joint Venture or Permitted NAC 29 Joint Venture), no member of the NAC 29 Group will enter into any such Final Disposition until it is agreed (as between NAC 29 and the Security Agent acting on the instructions of the Majority Pari Passu Creditors) how such consideration should be treated for the purposes of determination of the Required Redemption Amount related to that Final Disposition.
 
  (b)         Any portion of the Relevant Proceeds received for any NAC 29 Aircraft AOE, NAC 29 Aircraft Asset or NAC 29 Disposal Component (as applicable) that are not required to be applied towards the redemption and prepayment described in paragraph (a) above (the "Excess Proceeds") will be retained in the Proceeds Account until such time as they are applied in accordance with Section 4.09, provided that if any Excess Proceeds have not been applied in that manner within 365 days of receipt, then an amount equal to the Notes Proportion of such Excess Proceeds (the "Excess Proceeds Redemption Amount") will instead be applied at that time to redeem Securities with principal outstanding equal to such amount, provided that if the aggregate outstanding Required Redemption Amount (including the amount of any Shortfall Redemption) and Excess Proceeds Redemption Amounts are less than the Notes Proportion of $5,000,000, then NAC 29 will not be required to redeem such Securities until the earlier of the next Interest Payment Date and the date falling ten Business Days after the date on which the aggregate outstanding Required Redemption Amount (including the amount of any Shortfall Redemption) and Excess Proceeds Redemption do exceed the Notes Proportion of $5,000,000, it being acknowledged that during any interim period such Excess Proceeds will no longer be available for application in accordance with Section 4.09.  Any payment from the Proceeds Account in accordance with Section 4.09 will be deemed to have used those Excess Proceeds that were paid into the Proceeds Account the least recently.
 
(c)         NAC 29 will apply an amount equal to the Notes Proportion of any GrowthCo (NAC 29) Note Redemption Amount to the redemption of the Securities with principal outstanding equal to such amount within 30 Business Days after the date of receipt and such amount shall be treated on the same basis as any Required Redemption Amount (including, for the avoidance of doubt, subject to the carve out in paragraph (a)(iii)(B) of this Section 3.08).
 
(d)         All redemptions pursuant to this Section 3.08 shall be made in accordance with the procedures of Section 3.01 through Section 3.06 at a redemption price of 100% (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount on the redemption date) plus interest accrued but unpaid to but excluding the redemption date with respect to the principal amount of the Securities being so redeemed.

(b)         All redemptions pursuant to this Section 3.09 shall be made in accordance with the procedures of Section 3.01 through Section 3.06 at a redemption price of 100% (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount outstanding on the redemption date) plus interest accrued but unpaid to but excluding the redemption date with respect to the principal amount of the Securities being so redeemed.

(ii)         none of the proposed Lease Obligors have commenced insolvency, bankruptcy, examinership, administration or similar proceedings in any jurisdiction that are continuing, unless the Servicer is satisfied (acting in accordance with Leasing Company Practice) that for any Lease Obligor that is the subject of Chapter 11 proceedings under the US Bankruptcy Code the rights of the lessor against the Lease Obligor under that Lease would have priority status as an administrative claim (or equivalent) under such proceedings;
 
(iii)        the proposed Lease complies with the core lease criteria set forth in Exhibit D; and
 
(iv)        such re-leasing would (A) not result in any member of the NAC Group being in breach of any Sanctions or of any law applicable to it, (B) not be reasonably expected to result in any Holder, any holder of any beneficial interest in a Global Security, the Trustee or the Security Agent being in breach of Sanctions, and (C) not result in any Default occurring.

Section 6.02.        Acceleration.  (a) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(i), (j) or (k) with respect to NAC 29) occurs and is continuing, upon receipt by the Trustee of written direction from the Security Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Pari Passu Creditors), the Trustee and/or any Holder will be entitled, by written notice to NAC 29, to declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Securities to be due and payable.  Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately.  If (i) an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(i), (j) or (k) with respect to NAC 29 occurs, or (ii) any Pari Passu Debt Acceleration Event occurs, the principal of and interest on all the Securities shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders.  The Trustee will, if so instructed by  Security Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Pari Passu Creditors), by notice to NAC 29, rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree.  No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
 
- 73 -

(b)         Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default under Section 6.01(g) has occurred and is continuing, such Event of Default and any consequential acceleration (to the extent not in violation of any applicable law or in conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction) shall be automatically rescinded if (i) the Financial Indebtedness that is the subject of such Event of Default under Section 6.01(g) has been repaid or (ii) if the default relating to such Financial Indebtedness is waived by the holders of such Financial Indebtedness or cured, and if such Financial Indebtedness has been accelerated, then the holders thereof have rescinded their declaration of acceleration with respect thereto, and (iii) any other existing Events of Default, except non-payment of principal, premium or interest on the Securities that became due solely because of the acceleration of the Securities, have been cured and waived.
 
(c)        If the Securities are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to their Stated Maturity, in each case, in respect of any Event of Default, the amount of principal of, accrued and unpaid interest and premium on the Securities that becomes due and payable shall equal 100% of the principal amount of the Securities plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.
 
Section 6.03.      Other Remedies.  Subject always to the Intercreditor Agreement and Section 6.04(c), if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and subject to the Trustee's receipt of written direction from the Security Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Pari Passu Creditors), the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of or interest and premium on the Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities, this Indenture and the other Note Documents.
 
The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding.  A delay or omission by the Trustee, any Holder or any holder of any beneficial interest in a Global Security in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default.  No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy.  To the extent required by law, all available remedies are cumulative.
 
Section 6.04.        Control by Majority Pari Passu Creditors.

(b)        However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or would involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction.

Section 6.07.      Collection Suit by Trustee.  Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, if an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against NAC 29 for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on any unpaid interest to the extent lawful) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.07, and against NAC DAC for any amounts owed by it under the terms of the ICA Guarantee.

Section 6.08.        Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.  The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to NAC 29, NAC DAC, its creditors or its property and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and each of its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Trustee, as applicable, under Section 7.07.
 
No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, compromise, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.
 
Section 6.09.      Priorities.  If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article VI, it shall, if required by the Intercreditor Agreement, distribute such money or property to the Security Agent for further application in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement.  If the Trustee receives money or property after application in the manner provided for in the Intercreditor Agreement, such money or property shall be paid out as follows:
 
(a)          FIRST: to the Trustee for amounts due to it under Section 7.07 hereof;
 
(b)         SECOND: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities for principal of, or premium, if any, and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities for principal of, or premium, if any, and interest, respectively; and
 
(c)         THIRD: to NAC 29, or to the extent the Trustee collects any amount from any Guarantor, to such Guarantor.

Section 6.10.       Undertaking for Costs.  In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant.  This Section does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.06 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities.

Section 6.11.        Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.  NAC 29 (to the extent it may lawfully do so) shall not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and NAC 29 (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

- 78 -

(g)        In no event shall the Trustee be liable to any Person for special, punitive, indirect, consequential or incidental loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, lost profits), even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

Section 7.03.      Individual Rights of Trustee.  The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with NAC 29 or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee or Security Agent.  Any Paying Agent, Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights.  However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as Trustee (if this Indenture has been qualified under the TIA) or resign.  The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof.
 
Section 7.04.        Trustee's Disclaimer.  The Trustee shall not be (A) responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Securities or any other Note Documents, (B) accountable for NAC 29's use of its proceeds from the Securities or any money paid to NAC 29 or upon NAC 29's direction under any provision of this Indenture, (C) responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, (D) responsible for any statement or recital in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Securities or in the Securities other than the Trustee's certificate of authentication, (E) responsible for the validity, enforceability or perfection of the security interests expressed to be created pursuant to or under the Note Documents and (F) responsible for the contents of, access to, completeness of or otherwise any matters with respect to the VDR.
 
Section 7.05.       Notice of Defaults.  If a Default occurs and is continuing of which the Trustee has received written notice, the Trustee shall send to each Holder notice of the Default within the later of (a) 90 days after it occurs or (b) 30 days after the Trustee obtaining knowledge thereof.  Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, except in the case of a Default involving the payment of principal of or interest or premium on any Security (including payments pursuant to the mandatory redemption provisions of such Security, if any), the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as the Trustee in good faith determines that withholding the notice is not opposed to the interests of the Holders.
 
- 80 -

Section 7.06.        TIA and Listings.  Within 60 days after each May 1 beginning with May 1, 2023, and for so long as Securities remain outstanding, the Trustee shall deliver to each Holder a brief report dated as of May 1 in accordance with, and to the extent required under, TIA § 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA § 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted).  During the same time period specified above, the Trustee also shall comply with TIA § 313(b), which section relates to the release or substitution of certain property from the Lien of this Indenture and advances made by the Trustee.  The Trustee will also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA § 313(c).
 
If this Indenture has been qualified under the TIA, a copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be filed with the SEC and each stock exchange (if any) on which the Securities are listed in accordance with TIA § 313(d).  NAC 29 agrees to notify promptly the Trustee whenever the Securities become listed on any stock exchange and of any delisting thereof.
 
Section 7.07.       Compensation and Indemnity.  NAC 29 shall pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Indenture and the Securities as NAC 29 and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing.  The Trustee's compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust.  NAC 29 shall promptly reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services.  Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee's agents, counsel, accountants and experts.  NAC 29 and NAC DAC shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Trustee and its respective officers, directors, employees and agents against any and all loss, liability or expense (including attorneys' fees) incurred by any of them in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder or under the other Note Documents, including any fees, costs and expenses incurred in enforcing this Indenture (including this Section 7.07).  The Trustee shall notify NAC 29 promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity.  Failure by the Trustee to so notify NAC 29 shall not relieve NAC 29 of its obligations hereunder.  NAC 29 shall defend the claim and the Trustee may have separate counsel and NAC 29 shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel.  NAC 29 need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee's own willful misconduct or gross negligence.
 
To secure (x) the payment obligations of NAC DAC and NAC 29 under this Section 7.07, and (y) the obligations of NAC DAC, NAC 29 and each other NAC 29 Obligor owing to the Trustee and the Security Agent (and their agents) under or in connection with this Indenture and the other Note Documents, the Trustee shall have a lien ranking prior to the Securities and ranking prior to the Lien of the Security Agent on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Securities, and the Trustee shall apply all such moneys and proceeds of such property, pro rata, toward the discharge of such obligations, up to, in the case of the obligations owed to the Security Agent and its agents, the Notes Pro Rata Share of such obligations owed to the Security Agent and its agents.
 
NAC 29's payment obligations pursuant to this Section shall survive the discharge of this Indenture and the resignation and removal of the Trustee hereunder.  When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.01(i), (j) or (k) with respect to NAC 29, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Law.
 
The Trustee will comply with the provisions of TIA § 313(b)(2) to the extent applicable.
 
- 81 -

Section 7.08.       Replacement of Trustee.  The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying NAC 29.  The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee in writing with 30 days' prior written notice and may appoint a successor Trustee.  NAC 29 shall remove the Trustee if:

(2)          the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;
 
(3)          a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property;

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to NAC 29 and NAC DAC.  Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture.  The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders.  The retiring Trustee will, upon payment of all amounts due to it under this Indenture, promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07.
 
If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or the Holders of 10% in principal amount of the Securities may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
 
If the Trustee, after written request by a Holder of at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10, subject to TIA § 315(e), such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.
 
Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section, NAC 29's obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.
 
Section 7.09.       Successor Trustee by Merger.  If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee and shall have all of the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture.
 
- 82 -

In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture and any of the Securities shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Securities so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases any such certificate shall have the full force of a certificate of the Trustee as provided for by the Securities or this Indenture (as applicable).
 
Section 7.10.        Eligibility; Disqualification.  There will at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $100.0 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.
 
This Indenture will always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA § 310(a)(1), (2) and (5).  The Trustee is subject to TIA § 310(b).
 
Section 7.11.        Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.  The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b).  A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated.
 
Section 7.12.       Direction to Trustee to Sign Intercreditor Agreement.  By its acceptance of any Security or any beneficial interest in a Global Security, each Holder and holder of any beneficial interest in a Global Security will be deemed for all purposes to have authorized and directed the Trustee to execute, deliver and perform its obligations as “Creditor Representative” for the Securities under the Intercreditor Agreement , binding such Holder and holders to the terms thereof (including without limitation the indemnities provided therein).  Whether or not expressly provided therein, in entering into and performing any obligations under the Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee shall have the benefit of all of the rights, privileges, immunities and indemnities provided to it under this Indenture.

Discharge of Indenture; Defeasance
 
Section 8.01.        Discharge of Liability on Securities; Defeasance.  (a) This Indenture and the other Note Documents (insofar as related to this Indenture and the Securities) shall, subject to Section 8.01(c), cease to be of further effect (and for the purposes of determining whether, under the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, if any Collateral should be released from the Liens, the Securities will be treated as having been repaid in full) when both (x) either (i) NAC 29 delivers to the Trustee all outstanding Securities (other than Securities replaced pursuant to Section 2.08) for cancellation or (ii) all outstanding Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (1) have become due and payable, whether at maturity or on a redemption date as a result of the mailing of a notice of redemption pursuant to Article III hereof or (2) will become due and payable within one year at the Stated Maturity or within 60 days as the result of the giving of any irrevocable and unconditional notice of redemption pursuant to Article III hereof, and, in the case of clause (ii), NAC 29 irrevocably deposits with the Trustee cash in U.S. dollars or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof, in amounts sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption all outstanding Securities, including interest and premium, if any, thereon to maturity or such redemption date (other than Securities replaced pursuant to Section 2.08), and (y) NAC 29 pays all other sums payable hereunder by NAC 29.  The Trustee and Security Agent shall acknowledge satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture (subject to Section 8.01(c)) and the other Note Documents (insofar as related to this Indenture and the Securities) on demand of NAC 29 and upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate and an  Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent to the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture and release of Liens have been satisfied.
 
- 83 -

(b)         Subject to Sections 8.01(c) and 8.02, NAC 29 at any time may terminate (1) all its obligations under the Securities and this Indenture ("legal defeasance option") or (2) its obligations under Article IV (other than  Section 4.01) and the operation of Section 6.01 (other than paragraphs (a) or (b) thereof) ("covenant defeasance option").  NAC 29 may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option.
 
If NAC 29 exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the Securities may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default with respect thereto.  If NAC 29 exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the Securities may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default other than those specified in Sections 6.01(a) and (b).  If NAC 29 exercises its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option, (i) each Guarantor, if any, shall be released from all its obligations with respect to its ICA Guarantee and (ii) NAC DAC shall be released from all its obligations with respect to its ICA Guarantee, in each case except to the extent necessary to guarantee any of NAC 29's continuing obligations pursuant to Section 8.01(c); and (iii) for the purposes of determining whether, under the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral should be released from the Liens, the Securities will be treated as having been repaid in full).
 
Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein, and satisfaction of the other covenants or obligations under the other Note Documents (insofar as related to the Securities and this Indenture), and upon request of NAC 29, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of those obligations that NAC 29 terminates and the Collateral shall be released as to the Notes Obligations.
 
(c)         Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, NAC 29's obligations in Sections 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.08, 2.09, 7.07 and 7.08 and in this Article VIII shall survive until the Securities have been paid in full.  Thereafter, NAC 29's obligations in Sections 7.07, 8.04 and 8.05 shall survive.
 
- 84 -

Section 8.02.        Conditions to Defeasance.  NAC 29 may exercise its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option only if:
 
(1)         NAC 29 irrevocably deposits with the Trustee cash in U.S. dollars or U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof for the payment of principal of and interest on the Securities to maturity or redemption, as the case may be;
 
(2)         NAC 29 delivers to the Trustee a certificate from a recognized firm of independent accountants expressing their opinion that the payments of principal and interest and premium when due and without reinvestment on the deposited U.S. Government Obligations plus any deposited money without investment will provide cash at such times and in such amounts as will be sufficient to pay principal and interest and premium when due on all the Securities to maturity or redemption, as the case may be;
 
(3)         123 days pass after the deposit is made and during the 123-day period no Default specified in paragraphs (i), (j) or (k) of Section 6.01 (with respect to NAC 29 only) occurs which is continuing at the end of the period;
 
(4)          the deposit does not constitute a default under any other agreement binding on NAC 29;

(5)        to make any amendment to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of Securities; provided, however, that (a) compliance with this Indenture as so amended would not result in Securities being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any other applicable securities law and (b) such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer Securities;

Upon the written request of NAC 29 accompanied by a resolution of the Board of Directors of NAC 29 authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture or any amendment or supplement to any Shared Security Document, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.06 hereof, the Trustee shall join with NAC 29 and NAC DAC in the execution of (and (in the case of any Shared Security Document) shall direct (in writing) the Security Agent to execute) such amended or supplemental indenture or such Shared Security Document amendment or supplement authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture, unless such amended or supplemented indenture or such Shared Security Document amendment or supplement affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into (or, in the case of any Shared Security Document, so direct) such amended or supplemental indenture or such Shared Security Document amendment or supplement.
 
After an amendment under this Section becomes effective, NAC 29 shall send to Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment and upload such notice to the VDR on the same date that such notice is so sent.  The failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section.
 
- 87 -

Section 9.02.        All other amendments governed by the Intercreditor Agreement.
 
Without prejudice to Section 9.01, (i) any amendment, modification, variation or other change made to, (ii) any consent, approvals, waivers or similar given in respect of, and (iii) any instructions given to the Trustee pursuant to, this Indenture and/or any other Note Document shall be governed by Clause 24 (Common Instructing Group – Pari Passu Creditors) of the Intercreditor Agreement.
 
Upon the written request of NAC 29 and NAC DAC accompanied by a resolution of the Board of Directors of NAC 29 and a resolution of the Board of Directors of NAC DAC authorizing the execution of any supplemental indenture entered into to effect any such amendment, supplement or waiver permitted under the terms of this Section, and upon receipt by the Trustee (and the Security Agent to the extent applicable) of the documents described in Section 9.06, the Trustee (and the Security Agent to the extent applicable) shall join with NAC 29 and NAC DAC in the execution of such supplemental indenture or supplement or amendment to the Note Documents.  After an amendment under this Section becomes effective, NAC 29 shall send to Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment.  The failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section.
 
Section 9.03.        Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.  Subject to Section 13.06, every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Securities shall be set forth in a supplemental indenture hereto that complies with the TIA as then in effect if this Indenture shall then be qualified under the TIA.
 
Section 9.04.      Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers.  A consent to an amendment or a waiver by a Holder of a Security shall be a continuing consent and shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Security or portion of the Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder's Security, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Security.  However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to such Holder's Security or portion of the Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment or waiver becomes effective.  After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder.  An amendment or waiver becomes effective upon the execution of such amendment or waiver by the Trustee and/or the Security Agent (as applicable).
 
NAC 29 may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture.  If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date.  No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date unless consent from the Holders of the principal amount of Securities required hereunder for such amendment or waiver to be effective also shall have been given and not revoked within such 120-day period.  After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it will bind every Holder, unless it makes a change described in Clause 24.2 (All Pari Passu Creditor matters) of the Intercreditor Agreement, in which case, the amendment or waiver will bind only each Holder of a Security who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same Financial Indebtedness as the consenting Holder's Security.
 
- 88 -

Section 9.05.        Notation on or Exchange of Securities.  If an amendment changes the terms of a Security, the Trustee may require the Holder to deliver it to the Trustee.  The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Security regarding the changed terms and return it to the Holder.  Alternatively, if NAC 29 or the Trustee so determines, NAC 29 in exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security that reflects the changed terms.  Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Security shall not affect the validity of such amendment.
 
Section 9.06.        Trustee To Sign Amendments.
 
(a)        The Trustee shall sign (or, in the case of any Shared Security Document, the Trustee shall direct the Security Agent to sign) any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment, supplement or waiver does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee or the Security Agent as applicable.  If an amendment, supplement or waiver adversely affects the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee or Security Agent, the Trustee or the Security Agent, as applicable, may but need not sign (or, in the case of any Shared Security Document, the Trustee, may, but need not, direct the Security Agent to sign) such amendment, supplement or waiver.  In signing (or so directing the Security Agent to sign) any amendment, supplement or waiver, each of the Trustee and the Security Agent shall be entitled to receive indemnity satisfactory to it and to receive, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, evidence of the actual or deemed consent, direction or waiver or other action of Holders and an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and any other relevant Note Documents. In case of any consent, direction or waiver or other action of any Holders deemed to have been given pursuant to Clause 25.6 (Excluded Pari Passu Participations) of the Intercreditor Agreement, evidence of the same shall be in the form of an Officer’s Certificate of NAC 29, upon which the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely without investigation or liability, certifying that notice was given to the relevant Holders in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Intercreditor Agreement and that relevant Holders were afforded the requisite notice period and no objection from such Holders were received.
 
(b)         Tabulation of votes of Holders will be conducted in accordance with Section 2.14 and Section 9.07.
 
Section 9.07.        Acts of Holders.
 
(a)         Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to NAC 29.  Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments.  Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 7.01) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and NAC 29, if made in the manner provided in this Section 9.07.
 
- 89 -

Without limiting the generality of this Section, unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, (i) a Holder, including a Depository or its nominee that is a Holder of a Global Security, may give, make or take, by an agent or agents duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in or pursuant to this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders, and a Depository or its nominee that is a Holder of a Global Security may duly appoint in writing as its agent or agents members of, or participants in, such Depository holding interests in such Global Security in the records of such Depository; and (ii) with respect to any Global Security the Depository for which is The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), any consent or other action given, made or taken by an "agent member" of DTC by electronic means in accordance with the Automated Tender Offer Procedures system or other customary procedures of, and pursuant to authorization by, DTC shall be deemed to constitute the "Act" of the Holder of such Global Security, and such Act shall be deemed to have been delivered to NAC 29 and the Trustee upon the delivery by DTC of an "agent's message" or other notice of such consent or other action having been so given, made or taken in accordance with the customary procedures of DTC.
 
(b)         The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof.  Where such execution is by a Person acting in a capacity other than such Person's individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of the authority of the Person executing the same.  The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.
 
(c)          The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Register.
 
(d)         If in relation to (i) a request for consent, approval, release or waiver or agreement to any amendment in relation to any of the terms of this Indenture or any other Note Document, (ii) a request to approve any other action under this Indenture or any other Note Document, or (iii) a request to provide any confirmation or notification under this Indenture or any other Note Document, any Holder fails to respond to that request within 10 Business Days of that request being made, then (A) in the case of sub-paragraphs (i) and (ii) above, that Holder shall be deemed to give that consent, approval, release or waiver or agreement to any amendment (applicable), vote in favour of the proposal or approve that action (as applicable) or (B) in the case of paragraph (iii) above, that confirmation or notification shall be deemed to have been given, save where NAC 29 and the Trustee have agreed to a longer time period, provided that this paragraph (d) shall not apply in relation to any of the matters referred to in Clause 24.2 (All Pari Passu Creditor matters) of the Intercreditor Agreement.

NAC 29, NAC DAC or the Trustee by written notice to the other may designate additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or communications.
 
Any notice or communication mailed to a Holder shall be delivered pursuant to the Applicable Procedures (in the case of a Global Security) or mailed, to the Holder at the Holder's address as it appears on the registration books of the Registrar (if a Definitive Security) and shall be sufficiently given if so delivered or mailed within the time prescribed.  Any notice or communication will also be so mailed or delivered electronically to any Person described in TIA § 313(c), to the extent required by the TIA.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture to the contrary, so long as the Securities are evidenced by Global Securities, any notice to the Holders shall be sufficient if given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of the Depository within the time prescribed.
 
Failure to deliver a notice or communication to a Holder or any defect in it shall not affect its sufficiency with respect to other Holders.  If a notice or communication is mailed in the manner provided above, it is duly given, whether or not the addressee receives it.
 
Any notice or communication to NAC 29 or NAC DAC shall be deemed given or made as of the date so delivered if personally delivered or if delivered electronically, in PDF format; when receipt is acknowledged, if telecopied; and seven calendar days after mailing if sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid (except that a notice of change of address shall not be deemed to have been given until actually received by the addressee).  Any notice or communication to the Trustee shall only be deemed delivered upon receipt.
 
If a notice or communication is sent in the manner provided above, it is duly given, whether or not the addressee receives it, except that notices to the Trustee shall be effective only upon receipt.
 
- 102 -

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or the Securities, where this Indenture or any Security provides for notice of any event (including any notice of redemption or purchase) to a Holder of a Global Security (whether by mail or otherwise), such notice shall be sufficiently given if given to the Depository pursuant to its Applicable Procedures, not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice.
 
Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice.  Waivers of notice by Holders shall be delivered to the Trustee, but such delivery shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.
 
Section 13.03.      Communication by Holders with Other Holders.  Holders may communicate pursuant to TIA § 312(b) with other Holders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or the Securities.  NAC 29, NAC DAC, the Trustee, the Registrar and anyone else shall have the protection of TIA § 312(c).
 
Section 13.04.      Certificate and Opinion as to Conditions Precedent.  Upon any request or application by NAC 29 or NAC DAC to the Trustee to take or refrain from taking any action under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or any other Note Document, NAC 29 or NAC DAC shall furnish to the Trustee:

Section 13.05.     Statements Required in Certificate or Opinion.  Each certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a covenant or condition provided for in this Indenture (other than a certificate provided pursuant to TIA § 314(a)(4)) must comply with the provisions of TIA § 314(e) and shall include:
 
(1)          a statement that the individual making such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition;

(3)         a statement that, in the opinion of such individual, he has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and
 
(4)          a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of such individual, such covenant or condition has been complied with.
 
- 103 -

In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.
 
Any certificate or opinion of an officer of any Person may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous.  Any such certificate or opinion of, or representation by, counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of NAC 29 or any Guarantor stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of NAC 29 or NAC DAC unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.
 
Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.
 
Section 13.06.     When Securities Disregarded.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or any other Note Document, TIA § 315(d)(3) and TIA § 316(a) (including the last sentence thereof) are hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture and the other Note Documents for all purposes.  In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities have concurred in any direction, waiver, consent or approval or other action of Holders, Securities owned by NAC 29, NAC DAC or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with NAC 29 or NAC DAC shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver, consent approval or other action of Holders, only Securities which the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.  Securities so owned that have been pledged in good faith shall not be so disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee's right to deliver any such direction, waiver, consent, approval or other action of Holders with respect to the Securities and that the pledgee is not NAC 29, NAC DAC or any Subsidiary of NAC 29.  Also, subject to the foregoing, only Securities outstanding at the time shall be considered in any such determination.
 
Section 13.07.     Rules by Trustee, Paying Agent and Registrar.  The Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by or a meeting of Holders.  The Registrar and the Paying Agent may make reasonable rules for their functions.
 
Section 13.08.      Legal Holidays.  If a payment date is a Legal Holiday, payment shall be made on the next succeeding day that is not a Legal Holiday, and no interest shall accrue on such payment for the intervening period.  If a regular record date is a Legal Holiday, the record date shall not be affected.

(i)
If the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one Global Security to a beneficial interest in another Global Security, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Security to which such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interest to be so transferred, and the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a corresponding decrease in the principal amount of the Global Security from which such interest is being transferred.

1.
Interest
 
NAC Aviation 29 Designated Activity Company, a designated activity company incorporated and existing under the laws of Ireland with registered number 599680 (such company, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called "NAC 29") promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at the rate per annum shown above.  NAC 29 shall pay interest semi-annually in arrears on June 30 and December 31 of each year, commencing [December 31], 2022.  Interest on the Securities shall accrue from the Issue Date.  Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.  NAC 29 shall pay interest on overdue principal at the Default Rate, and it will pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful.
 
Interest on the Securities will accrue at the annual rate set forth above and will be payable solely in cash.

Method of Payment
 
NAC 29 shall pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered holders of Securities at the close of business on the June 15 and December 15 (whether or not a Legal Holiday) immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date even if Securities are cancelled after the record date and on or before the Interest Payment Date.  Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments.  NAC 29 will pay principal, premium and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.  If a payment date is a Legal Holiday, payment shall be made on the next succeeding day that is not a Legal Holiday, and no interest shall accrue on that payment for the intervening period.  Payments in respect of the Securities represented by a Global Security (including principal, premium and interest) will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Depository. Subject to the succeeding sentences, NAC 29 will make all payments in respect of a certificated Security (including principal, premium and interest) by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States.  Each Holder shall give written notice (and otherwise comply with the Trustee and Paying Agent’s procedures) to the Trustee or the Paying Agent designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its sole and absolute discretion). If no such account has been so designated, any such payment may be made by check mailed to such Holder’s address as set forth in the register of Holders.

4.
Indenture
 
NAC 29 originally issued the Securities under the Indenture dated as of [May] [•], 2022 (the "Indenture"), among NAC 29, Nordic Aviation Capital Designated Activity Company and the Trustee.  The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture.  Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture.  To the extent any provision of any Security conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling.  The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture.  The Securities are entitled to the benefits of the Shared Security Documents, subject to the terms of the Note Documents, including the Intercreditor Agreement.
 
The Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of NAC 29 and its Subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness; engage in transactions with affiliates; create liens on assets; transfer or sell assets; guarantee indebtedness; and consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of its assets and the assets of its Subsidiaries.  These covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications.
 
5.
Redemption or Repurchase
 
NAC 29 may, at its option, redeem all or, from time to time any portion, of the Securities in an amount not less than $1,000,000 multiplied by the Notes Proportion in the case of a partial redemption, at the redemption prices set forth below (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount outstanding on the redemption date) plus accrued but unpaid interest to but excluding the redemption date with respect to the principal amount of the Securities being so redeemed:
 
 
Period
 
Redemption Price
       
 
Prior to the date falling twelve months after the Plan Effective Date

101%
       
 
On or after the date falling twenty-four months after the Plan Effective Date
 
100%
       
 
In addition, NAC 29 (i) is obliged to redeem the Securities in whole or part in circumstances set out in Section 3.08 (Redemption following a Final Disposition or Total Loss), Section 3.09 (Redemption upon a Shared Transaction Security Defect) and Section 3.10 (Redemption upon a Lessee Sanctions Event) of the Indenture, (ii) may, at its election, redeem the Security in full in the circumstances set out in Section 3.07 (Redemption for Tax Reasons) of the Indenture and (iii) may be required to repurchase certain Securities in circumstances set out in Section 3.11 (Repurchase upon a Change of Control of NAC DAC) of the Indenture, in each case at par plus accrued but unpaid interest to but excluding the date of redemption or repurchase (as applicable).
 
- 121 -

NAC 29 will not be required to pay any make-whole payment, prepayment premium or any similar early payment compensation in relation to any redemption or repurchase (other than pursuant to this paragraph 5).
 
6.
Notice of Redemption
 
NAC 29 shall send a notice of redemption pursuant to paragraph 5 to each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed at such Holder's registered address at least 5 Business Days (but not more than 60 days) before a date for redemption of Securities.  If money sufficient to pay the principal of and accrued interest on all Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with the Paying Agent on or before the redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, on and after such date interest ceases to accrue on such Securities (or such portions thereof) called for redemption.
 
7.
Guarantees; Security
 
The payment by NAC 29 of the principal of, and premium and interest on, the Securities is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior basis by each of the Guarantors to the extent set forth in the Indenture and the Intercreditor Agreement.  The Securities and ICA Guarantees will be secured by the Collateral (subject only to Permitted NAC 29 Liens) as provided in the Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Shared Security Documents.  The Intercreditor Agreement sets out the priority of payments from proceeds of the Collateral, however, in summary, the Holders benefit from such security on a second-priority basis, ranking junior to the lenders under the Super Senior Credit Facility and on an equal and ratable basis with the other holders of the Aggregate Senior Debt.  This statement is subject to important exceptions and qualifications, which are detailed in the Intercreditor Agreement.

The Indenture and the Intercreditor Agreement contain provisions which provide for the deemed consent of any Holders in the event that such Holder does not respond to a request for consent with ten (10) Business Days.
 
Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, NAC 29, NAC DAC, the Trustee and the Security Agent, if applicable, may amend any of the Indenture, the Securities or the other Note Documents without notice to or consent of any Holder to (a) cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency, (b) to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities, (c) to provide for any ICA Guarantee or to confirm and evidence the release, termination or discharge of any ICA Guarantee, (d) comply with any requirements of the SEC in connection with qualifying the Indenture under the TIA, (e) to make any amendment to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of Securities, (f) to comply with the requirements of any securities depository with respect to the Securities, (g) to evidence and provide for the acceptance and appointment under this Indenture of a successor Trustee and (h) to evidence the succession of another Person to NAC DAC and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of NAC DAC contained herein and in the Intercreditor Agreement.
 
- 123 -

TIA § 316(a) is expressly excluded from the Indenture and the other Note Documents for all purposes.  In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities have concurred in any direction, waiver, consent, approval or other action of Holders, Securities owned by NAC 29 or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with NAC 29 shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding; provided that for purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in making a determination whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Securities have concurred in any direction, waiver, consent, approval or other action of Holders, only Securities which a Trust Officer actually knows to be held by the NAC 29 or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with NAC 29 shall not be considered outstanding.
 
14.
Defaults and Remedies
 
The Events of Default relating to the Securities are set forth in the Indenture.  If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will declare all the Securities to be due and payable immediately if it is instructed to do so by Security Agent, acting on the instructions of a Majority Pari Passu Creditors (as defined in paragraph 13).  Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency are Events of Default which will result in the Securities being due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of such Events of Default.
 
Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture and the Intercreditor Agreement.  The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Securities unless it receives indemnity or security satisfactory to it.  Subject to certain limitations, the Majority Pari Passu Creditors may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power.
 
15.
Trustee Dealings with NAC 29
 
Subject to certain limitations set forth in the Indenture and the TIA, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by NAC 29 or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with NAC 29 or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, as the case may be.
 
16.
No Recourse Against Others
 
A director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder (other than any NAC 29 Obligor), as such, of NAC 29 or any Guarantor shall not have any liability for any obligations of NAC 29 under the Securities, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Indenture or any other Note Document or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation.  By accepting a Security, each Holder waives and releases all such claims and liability.  The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities.

EXHIBIT C
 
INSURANCES
 
PART A
AVIATION INSURANCES
 
1.
Insurance Requirements
 
1.1
Obligation to Insure
 
NAC 29 will procure that the Servicer effects and maintains (or causes to be effected and maintained) appropriate insurances in accordance with Leasing Company Practice in respect of each NAC 29 Aircraft Asset, including insurance for (i) loss or damage to the NAC 29 Aircraft Assets and each part thereof, and (ii) any liability for injury to or death of persons and damage to or the destruction of public or private property arising out of or in connection with the operation, storage, maintenance or use of (in each case to the extent available) the NAC 29 Aircraft Assets and of any other part thereof not belonging to the member of the NAC 29 Group but from time to time installed on the airframe.
 
Subject to paragraph 1.2 below, the Servicer will, in accordance with Leasing Company Practice, maintain or cause to be maintained the following specific insurances with respect to each NAC 29 Aircraft Asset:
 

(a)
All Risks Hull Insurance - All risks hull insurance policy on an agreed value basis for an amount determined in accordance with Leasing Company Practice, but in any event at least equal to 110% of the relevant Allocable Amount for that NAC 29 Aircraft Asset;
 

(b)
Hull War Risk Insurance - Hull war risk and allied perils insurance, including hijacking, (excluding, however, confiscation by government of registry or country of domicile to the extent coverage of such risk is not generally available to the operator of the relevant NAC 29 Aircraft Asset in the relevant insurance market at a commercially reasonable cost or is not customarily obtained by operators in such jurisdiction at such time) where the custom in the industry is to carry war risk for aircraft operating on routes or kept in locations similar to the relevant NAC 29 Aircraft Asset on an agreed value basis;
 

(c)
Legal Liability Insurance – to the extent reasonably available in the international insurance market and consistent with Leasing Company Practice, third party legal liability insurance, including passenger, baggage, cargo and mail (including war and allied perils consistent with AVN52E), bodily injury and property damage in amounts and on terms and conditions which are customary in international lease transactions involving similar aircraft;
 

(d)
Aircraft Spares Insurance – Insurance for the engines and the parts (including war and allied perils) while not installed on the airframe, for their replacement cost or on an agreed value basis; and
 
- 133 -


(e)
Third party engines – If a third party engine is installed on the relevant NAC 29 Aircraft Asset, either (i) the hull insurance coverage on such NAC 29 Aircraft Asset shall automatically increase to such higher amount as is necessary in order to satisfy the requirements of this Part A of this Exhibit C and the amount required by the third party engine owner or (ii) separate additional insurance on such engine must attach in order to satisfy separately any requirements to such third party engine owner,
 
provided that the Servicer will not be under any obligation to procure that the Security Agent or any Holder is named on the Issue Date as a contract party, loss payee or additional insured on any insurance certificate for any NAC 29 Aircraft Asset in accordance with the terms and conditions of airline finance/lease contract endorsement AVN67B, or any replacement, successor or alternative endorsement thereto ("AVN67B"), nor as the addressee of any broker's letter of undertaking for any NAC 29 Aircraft Asset, nor that any Note Documents be added as a "Contract" on any insurance certificates for any NAC 29 Aircraft Asset in accordance with AVN67B, provided however that upon any post-Plan Effective Date renewal of the insurances for a NAC 29 Aircraft Asset, the entry into of any replacement lease for a NAC 29 Aircraft Asset, and/or upon the lease for a NAC 29 Aircraft Asset being amended or extended, the Servicer will use all reasonable endeavours to procure that (i) the Security Agent (for and on behalf of itself and the Holders) is named as a "Contract Party" in accordance with the terms and conditions of AVN67B and (to the extent any relevant brokers agree to do so following reasonable efforts by the Servicer to secure their agreement) the sole loss payee in respect of the hull insurances referred to in paragraph (a) above and the hull war risk and allied perils insurance referred to in paragraph (b) above and an addressee to the relevant broker letter of undertaking, (ii) the Security Agreement for the relevant NAC 29 Aircraft Asset is named as a "Contract" in accordance with the terms and conditions of AVN67B in respect of the hull insurances referred to in paragraph (a) above and the hull war risk and allied perils insurance referred to in paragraph (b) above, and (iii) the Security Agent and each Holder (referred to generically rather than individually) is named as an "Additional Insured" under the legal liability insurances referred to in paragraph (c) above.
 
1.2
Variations on Specific Insurance Requirements
 
In certain circumstances, it will be customary for certain of the insurances described in paragraph 1.1 above to not be carried for one or more of the NAC 29 Aircraft Asset.  For example, when a NAC 29 Aircraft Asset is not on lease to a passenger air carrier or is in storage, is being repaired or maintained, is being parted out (including where the airframe for that NAC 29 Aircraft Asset has been the subject of a Final Disposition and the relevant NAC 29 Aircraft Asset constitutes only engines), ferry or ground rather than passenger flight coverage for the relevant NAC 29 Aircraft Asset shall be applicable and lower insurance limits may apply to reflect that the relevant NAC 29 Aircraft Asset is not being operated.  Similarly, indemnities may be provided by a governmental authority in lieu of particular insurances.  The Servicer will determine the necessary coverage for the NAC 29 Aircraft Asset in such situations consistent with Leasing Company Practice with respect to similar aircraft.
 
- 134 -

1.3
Currency
 
All insurances and reinsurances effected pursuant to this Part A of this Exhibit C shall be payable in US dollars, save that, in the case of the insurances referred to in paragraph 1.1(c), if another denomination is (a) required by the law of the state of registration of the relevant NAC 29 Aircraft Asset, (b) the normal practice of airlines in the relevant country that operate aircraft leased from lessors located outside such country, or (c) otherwise accepted in accordance with Leasing Company Practice, proceeds under such insurances and reinsurances shall be payable in such other currency.
 
1.4
Specific Terms of Insurances
 
The Servicer will procure that the NAC 29 Aircraft Asset are insured and the applicable insurance policies endorsed either (i) in a manner consistent with AVN67B, AVN67C or, in each case, a successor London market endorsement, as it may be amended or revised or its equivalent or (ii) in such manner as the Servicer (acting in according with Leasing Company Practice) considers to be customary in the airline industry for aircraft of the same type as the relevant NAC 29 Aircraft Asset and that are utilised by operators in the same country and whose operational network and credit status is similar to the type of business as the relevant Lease Obligor or operator (if any) and at the time commonly available in the insurance market.  In all cases, the Servicer will set the standards, review and manage the insurances on the NAC 29 Aircraft Asset consistent with Leasing Company Practice with respect to similar aircraft.
 
1.5
Insurance Brokers and Insurers
 
In reviewing and accepting the insurance brokers (if any) and reinsurance brokers (if any) and insurers and reinsurers (if any) providing coverage with respect to the NAC 29 Aircraft Asset, the Servicer will utilise standards consistent with Leasing Company Practice with respect to similar aircraft.  Subject to paragraph 1.7 below, it is recognised that airlines in certain countries are required to utilise brokers (and sometimes even no brokers) or carry insurance with local insurance brokers and insurers.  If requested by the Security Agent but without any obligation to disclose the contents of its contingent policy, the Servicer will provide the Security Agent with evidence that the insurances described in this Exhibit C are in full force and effect.
 
1.6
Deductibles and Self-Insurance
 
With respect to the type of aircraft concerned, the nationality and creditworthiness of the airline operator, the airline operator's use and operation thereof and to the scope of and the amount covered by the insurances carried by the operator of the relevant NAC 29 Aircraft Asset, the Servicer will apply standards consistent with Leasing Company Practice with respect to similar aircraft in reviewing and accepting the amount of any insurance deductibles, whether the operator of the relevant NAC 29 Aircraft Asset may self-insure any of the risks covered by the insurances and the scope and terms of reinsurance, if any, including a cut-through and assignment clause.
 
- 135 -

1.7
Reinsurance
 
If the insurances are not effected in the leading international insurance markets, the Servicer shall procure that they (or a portion thereof) are reinsured in accordance with Leasing Company Practice with reinsurers in the leading international insurance markets who are of recognised standing.  Any reinsurance will be on the same terms as the relevant primary insurance.
 
1.8
Renewals
 
The Servicer will monitor the insurances on the NAC 29 Aircraft Asset and their expiration dates and will ensure that any insurances in respect of any NAC 29 Aircraft Asset not subject to a Lease are promptly renewed prior to the relevant expiration date.
 
1.9
Failure to Insure
 
If the Servicer fails to procure that the NAC 29 Aircraft Asset is insured in accordance with this Exhibit C the Security Agent may (but is not obliged to) pay outstanding premiums or effect alternative insurance in respect of the NAC 29 Aircraft Asset and any cost incurred by the Security Agent in the exercise of this right will be reimbursed by the relevant member of the NAC 29 Group on demand.
 
2.
Application of insurance proceeds
 
The Intercreditor Agreement will set out the basis on which any insurance proceeds of the NAC 29 Aircraft Asset will be applied.
 
- 136 -

3.
Failure to Insure
