Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Supplemental Indentures
On June 9, 2009, JetBlue Airways Corporation (the "Company") completed its
previously reported offering of $115 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75%
Convertible Debentures due 2039, including $15 million aggregate principal
amount under an over-allotment option (the "Series A Convertible Debentures")
and $86.25 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% Convertible Debentures
due 2039, including $11.25 million aggregate principal amount under an
over-allotment option (the "Series B Convertible Debentures," and together with
the Series A Convertible Debentures, the "Debentures").
In connection with the issuance of the Debentures, on June 9, 2009, the Company
entered into a fourth supplemental indenture with Wilmington Trust Company (the
"Trustee") (the "Fourth Supplemental Indenture") to the indenture entered into
between the Company and the Trustee on March 16, 2005 (the "Base Indenture")
relating to the Series A Convertible Debentures. On the same date, the Company
also entered into a fifth supplemental indenture with the Trustee (the "Fifth
Supplemental Indenture," and, together with the Fourth Supplemental Indenture,
the "Supplemental Indentures;" "Indenture" shall mean the Base Indenture
together with the Fourth Supplemental Indenture or the Base Indenture together
with the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, or the Base Indenture together with both
the Fourth Supplemental Indenture and the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, as the
context may require) to the Base Indenture relating to the Series B Convertible
Debentures.
The Debentures are senior unsecured debt obligations of the Company. There is no
sinking fund for the Debentures. The Debentures mature on October 15, 2039 and
bear interest at a rate of 6.75% per annum. Interest on the Debentures is
payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year,
commencing October 15, 2009.
Holders may convert their Debentures, at their option, any time prior to the
close of business on the business day immediately preceding October 15, 2039.
The Series A Convertible Debentures are convertible into shares of the Company's
common stock at a conversion rate of 204.6036 shares per $1,000 principal amount
of Series A Convertible Debentures. The Series B Convertible Debentures are
convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion rate of
204.6036 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Series B Convertible Debentures.
In addition, if holders elect to convert their Debentures in connection with the
occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the Supplemental Indenture)
that occurs prior to October 15, 2014 (in the case of the Series A Convertible
Debentures) or October 15, 2016 (in the case of the Series B Convertible
Debentures), holders will be entitled to receive additional shares of common
stock upon conversion in some circumstances as described in the Supplemental
Indentures. A fundamental change generally will occur upon certain changes in
the ownership of the Company, as further described in the Supplemental
Indentures.
At any time on or after October 15, 2014 (in the case of the Series A
Convertible Debentures) and October 15, 2016 (in the case of the Series B
Convertible Debentures), the Company may redeem the Debentures for cash by
giving holders at least 30 days' notice. The Company may redeem the Debentures
either in whole or in part at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal
amount of the Debentures to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if
any, up to, but excluding, the redemption date.
Holders of the Debentures may require the Company to repurchase all or part of
the Debentures for cash on October 15, 2014, 2019, 2024, 2029 and 2034 (in the
case of the Series A Convertible Debentures) and on October 15, 2016, 2021,
2026, 2031 and 2036 (in the case of the Series B Convertible Debentures) at a
repurchase price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, up to, but excluding, the date of repurchase to the
holder from whom Debentures are repurchased.
Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Supplemental Indentures, the
Debentures are subject to repurchase for cash at the option of the holders of
all or any portion of the Debentures upon a designated event (as defined in the
Supplemental Indentures), at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal
amount of the Debentures, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. A designated
event will be deemed to have occurred upon a fundamental change or a termination
of trading. A termination of trading will be
deemed to have occurred if the Company's common stock is not listed for trading
on a U.S. securities exchange, as further described in the Supplemental
Indentures.
The Supplemental Indentures contain customary financial reporting requirements,
and also contain restrictions on mergers and asset sales. The Supplemental
Indentures also provide that upon certain events of default, including without
limitation failure to pay principal or interest, failure to deliver a notice of
designated event, failure to convert the Debentures when required, either the
trustee or the holders of 25% in aggregate principal amount of each series of
Debentures may declare the principal of such series of Debentures and any
accrued and unpaid interest through the date of such declaration immediately due
and payable. In the case of certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency relating
to the Company, the principal amount of the Debentures and accrued interest
automatically becomes due and payable.

Supplemental Indenture, the Series A Convertible Debentures and the Series B
Convertible Debentures is qualified in its entirety by reference to such
