 (e)                In the event that during the effectiveness of this
Agreement, Debtor shall be required or permitted to permanently replace an
unsatisfactory item of Collateral, Debtor may do so provided that, in addition
to any other requirements provided for in this Agreement and subject to the
terms of the Loan Documents and Indenture Documents regarding the disposition,
maintenance, or sale of the Debtor's assets: 

        (i)                  The Collateral Agent is not divested of its
security interest in and Lien upon any unsatisfactory item and that no such
unsatisfactory item shall be or become subject to the Lien of any Person, unless
and until such item is replaced by an item of the type and condition required by
this Agreement, title to which is validly vested in Debtor, free and clear of
any Liens, of any kind or nature, of any Person other than the Collateral Agent,
and if requested by the Collateral Agent, the Debtor executes and delivers a
Supplement covering such replacement item; 

        (ii)                Debtor's title to every replacement item shall
immediately be and become subject to the first priority security interest and
Lien of the Collateral Agent, either by virtue of this Agreement or any
Supplement delivered pursuant hereto, and each of the provisions of this
Agreement, and each such replacement item shall remain so encumbered and so
subject unless it is, in turn, replaced by a substitute item in the manner
permitted herein; 

        (iii)               The Collateral Agent's Lien on an unsatisfactory
item shall be subject to release by the Collateral Agent only if (A) such
unsatisfactory item is replaced in accordance with the requirements of this
Agreement and (B) the replacement item satisfies the requirements of this
Agreement, including the terms and conditions of subsections (i) and (ii)
hereinabove. 

(f)                 In the event that any Engine, Propeller, or Part is
installed upon an Airframe, and is not in substitution for or in replacement of
an existing item, such additional item shall be considered as an accession to
the Airframe, and, if requested by the Collateral Agent, the Debtor shall
execute and deliver a Supplement covering such additional item. 

(g)                Until the Security Interest Termination Date, cause to be
affixed at all times to each Engine and Propeller in a conspicuous, safe
location and cause to be displayed at all times in the cockpit of each Airframe
adjacent to the certificate of airworthiness displayed therein, a metal
nameplate in form satisfactory to the Collateral Agent bearing substantially the
following inscription (or such other subscription which the Collateral Agent
shall approve): "MORTGAGED TO WACHOVIA BANK, N.A., AS COLLATERAL AGENT." 

3.3              Insurance. 

(a)                Debtor will at all times, at its own cost and expense,
maintain, or cause to be maintained, a policy or policies of insurance with
respect to the Collateral, in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.08 of
the Credit Agreement. 

(b)               Debtor shall not use or permit the Collateral to be used in
any manner or for any purpose excepted from or contrary to the requirements of
any insurance policy or policies required to be carried and maintained under the
Credit Agreement or for any purpose excepted or exempted from or contrary to
said insurance policies, and do any other act or permit anything to be done
which could reasonably be expected to invalidate or limit any such insurance
policy or policies. 

3.4              Chief Executive Office. Debtor represents that its chief
executive office is located at the address indicated on its Information
Disclosure Certificate and agrees that such chief executive office will not be
changed until (a) it shall have given to the Collateral Agent not less than 30
days' prior written notice of its intention to do so, clearly describing such
new location and providing such other information in connection therewith as the
Collateral Agent may request, and (ii) with respect to such new location, it
shall have taken all action, satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, to maintain
the first priority security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral
intended to be granted hereby, at all times fully perfected and in full force
and effect. 

3.5              Further Representations, Warranties, and Covenants. Debtor
further represents, warrants, and covenants with the Collateral Agent as follows
(without limiting any representation, warranty, or covenant relating to any of
the following contained in any Loan Document or Indenture Document): 

(a)                Debtor shall pay, or cause to be paid, when due all taxes,
assessments, charges (including license and registration fees and all taxes,
levies, imposts, duties, charges or withholdings of any nature whatsoever,
together with any penalties, fines or interest thereon) imposed upon Debtor by
any federal, state or local government or taxing authority upon or with respect
to the Collateral or any portion thereof, or upon the purchase, ownership,
delivery, leasing, possession, use, operation, return or other disposition
thereof, or upon the rentals, receipts or earnings arising therefrom, or upon or
with respect to this Agreement, or any of the other agreements relating hereto,
excepting from such requirements any taxes or charges which are based on, or
measured by, the net income of the Collateral Agent; 

(b)               Debtor shall, on demand by the Collateral Agent, and at
Debtor's sole cost and expense, cause the Collateral (including the logs, books,
manuals, and records comprising the Collateral) to be exhibited to the
Collateral Agent (or persons designated by the Collateral Agent) for purposes of
inspection and copying; 

(c)                Except as may otherwise be permitted under the Loan Document
and the Indenture Documents, Debtor is the registered owner of the Airframes and
owner of the Engines, the Propellers, and the Parts, and will be the registered
owner of any Airframes and owner of the Engines, Propellers, and Parts listed on
any Supplement from time to time delivered hereunder, pursuant to proper
registration under the Act, as amended, as required for each such item of
Collateral, and Debtor qualifies in all respects as a "citizen" of the United
States as defined in the Act. 

(d)               Debtor shall keep accurate and complete logs, manuals, books,
and records relating to the Collateral, and provide, at Debtor's sole cost and
expense, the Collateral Agent with copies of reports and information relating to
the Collateral as the Collateral Agent may require from time to time; 

(e)                Debtor shall not sell or otherwise dispose of or transfer the
Collateral, or any right or interest of Debtor therein, except as permitted, and
on the terms set forth, herein and in the Credit Agreement. Debtor shall not
locate any of the Collateral constituting Parts at any location other than at a
Designated Location, unless (i) such Part shall have been installed on or
incorporated into an Airframe, Engine, or Propeller and (ii) the Collateral
Agent shall continue to have a first priority, perfected Lien in such Part as so
installed or incorporated. 

(f)                 Debtor shall not suffer or permit any Lien other than
Permitted Encumbrances to attach to or exist relative to the Collateral, whether
voluntarily or involuntarily, and whether by issuance of judicial process, levy
or otherwise, until the Security Interest Termination Date. 

(g)                Debtor shall promptly give the Collateral Agent notice of any
Default or Event of Default or event which, after notice or lapse of time or
both, would constitute an Event of Default hereunder; 

(h)                Debtor shall indemnify each of the Secured Parties and their
respective agents, representatives, officers, directors, and employees and hold
each of them harmless from and against all liabilities, claims and/or demands
arising from any cause whatsoever, including the doctrine of strict liability,
in connection with this Agreement or such Person's rights herein or in the
Collateral and/or the use, sale, operation or possession of the Collateral. 

(i)                  Debtor certifies that it is an air carrier certified under
49 U.S.C. Sec. 44705 and that the Parts are maintained by or on behalf of the
Debtor at the Designated Locations.

4.                  EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES 

4.1              Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the
following events shall constitute an "Event of Default" under this Agreement: 

(a)                The occurrence of any "Event of Default" under the Credit
Agreement, the pertinent provisions of which are attached hereto as Exhibit A; 

(b)               Debtor shall fail to perform, keep, or observe any of the
Secured Obligations; 

(c)                If any representation, statement, report, or certificate made
or delivered by Debtor, or any of its officers, employees or agents, to the
Collateral Agent is not true and correct when made; 

(d)               If there is a material impairment of the value of, or the loss
of the priority of the Collateral Agent's security interests in, the
Collateral; 

(e)                If all or any of the Collateral is attached, seized,
subjected to a writ or distress warrant, or are levied upon, or comes into the
possession of any Judicial Officer or Assignee; or 

(f)                 If a judgment or other claim becomes a Lien upon all or any
of the Collateral.

4.2              Remedies Upon Default. If an Event of Default shall occur and
be continuing, the Collateral Agent may (or, if directed to do so in writing by
the Required Lenders, shall) without notice of any kind to Debtor to the extent
permitted by law, carry out or enforce the actions or remedies provided in this
Section 4 or elsewhere in this Agreement or otherwise available to a secured
party under the UCC or other applicable Uniform Commercial Code as in effect at
the time in any applicable jurisdiction.

4.3              Possession of Aircraft. The Collateral Agent may, without
notice, take possession of all or any part of the Collateral and may exclude
Debtor, and all persons claiming under the Debtor, wholly or partly therefrom.
At the request of the Collateral Agent, Debtor shall promptly deliver or cause
to be delivered to the Collateral Agent or whosoever the Collateral Agent shall
designate, at such time or times and place or places as the Collateral Agent may
specify, and fly or cause to be flown to such airport or airports in the United
States as the Collateral Agent may specify, without risk or expense to the
Collateral Agent or any Secured Creditor, all or any part of the Collateral. In
addition, Debtor will provide, without cost or expense to the Collateral Agent,
storage facilities for such Collateral. If Debtor shall for any reason fail to
deliver such Collateral or any part thereof after demand by the Collateral
Agent, the Collateral Agent may, without being responsible for loss or damage,
(i) obtain a judgment conferring on the Collateral Agent the right to immediate
possession or requiring Debtor to deliver immediate possession of all or part of
such Collateral to the Collateral Agent, to the entry of which judgment Debtor
hereby specifically consents, or (ii) with or, to the fullest extent provided by
law, without such judgment, pursue all or part of such Collateral wherever it
may be found and may enter any of the premises of Debtor where such Collateral
may be and search for such Collateral and take possession of and remove the
same. Debtor agrees to pay to the Collateral Agent, upon demand, all expenses
incurred in taking any such action; and all such expenses shall, until paid, be
secured by the Lien of this Agreement. Upon every such taking of possession, the
Collateral Agent may, from time to time, make all such reasonable expenditures
for maintenance, insurance, repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and
improvements to and of the Collateral, as it may deem proper.

4.4              Receiver. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled, as a matter
of right as against Debtor, without notice or demand and without regard to the
adequacy of the security for the Secured Obligations by virtue of this Agreement
or any other collateral or to the solvency of Debtor, upon the commencement of
judicial proceedings by it to enforce any right under this Agreement, to the
appointment of a receiver of all or any part of the Collateral and of the
Proceeds.

4.5              Sale and Suits for Enforcement.  

(a)                The Collateral Agent, with or without taking possession of
the Collateral may, without notice,

        (i)                  to the extent permitted by law, sell at one or more
sales, as an entirety or in separate lots or parcels, all or any part of the
Collateral, at public or private sale, at such place or places and at such time
or times and upon such terms, including terms of credit (which may include the
retention of title by the Collateral Agent to the property so sold), as the
Collateral Agent may determine, whether or not such Collateral shall be at the
place of sale; and

        (ii)                proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the
rights of the Secured Creditors under this Agreement by suit, whether for
specific performance of any covenant herein contained or in aid of the exercise
of any power herein granted or for the foreclosure of this Agreement and the
sale of the Collateral under the judgment or decree of a court of competent
jurisdiction or for the enforcement of any other right. 

(b)               At any public sale of the Collateral or any part thereof the
Collateral Agent pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) above, the Collateral Agent may
consider and accept bids requiring the extension of credit to the bidder and may
determine in its sole discretion the highest bidder at such sale, whether or not
the bid of such bidder shall be solely for cash or shall require the extension
of credit. 

(c)                Subject to the requirements of any law or order of court
applicable thereto, notice of any sale under paragraph (a)(i) above shall
contain a brief description of the property to be sold, shall state, in the case
of a public sale, the time when and the place where the same is to be made and
shall briefly describe any terms or conditions of sale, or shall state, if the
sale is not to be public, the price to be received for the property to be sold
and if such price is not to be paid entirely in cash shall briefly describe the
terms and conditions of sale. Any such notice of public sale shall be
sufficiently given if published once in each of any two successive weeks in a
daily newspaper published in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York. 

(d)               The Collateral Agent, to the extent permitted by law, may from
time to time adjourn any sale under paragraph (a)(i) above by announcement at
the time and place appointed for such sale or for any adjournment thereof; and
without further notice or publication, except as may be required by law, such
sale may be made at the time and place to which the same shall have been so
adjourned. 

(e)                Upon the completion of any sale under paragraph (a)(i) above,
full title and right of possession to the Collateral so sold shall (subject to
any retention of title by the Collateral Agent as part of the terms of such
sale) pass to the accepted purchaser forthwith upon the completion of such sale,
and Debtor shall deliver, in accordance with the instructions of the Collateral
Agent (including flying any Collateral or causing the same to be flown to such
airports in the United States as the Collateral Agent may specify), such
Collateral so sold. If Debtor shall for any reason fail to deliver such
Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall have all of the rights granted by Section
4.03 hereof. The Collateral Agent is hereby irrevocably appointed the true and
lawful attorney of Debtor, in its name and stead, to make all necessary
conveyances of the Collateral so sold. Nevertheless, if so requested by the
Collateral Agent or by any purchaser, Debtor shall confirm any such sale or
conveyance by executing and delivering all proper instruments of conveyance or
releases as may be designated in any such request.

4.6              Waiver. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, DEBTOR
HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NOTICE AND JUDICIAL
HEARING IN CONNECTION WITH THE COLLATERAL AGENT'S TAKING POSSESSION OR THE
COLLATERAL AGENT'S DISPOSITION OF ANY OF THE COLLATERAL, INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, ANY AND ALL PRIOR NOTICE AND HEARING FOR ANY PREJUDGMENT REMEDY OR
REMEDIES AND ANY SUCH RIGHT WHICH THE ASSIGNOR WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE UNDER THE
CONSTITUTION OR ANY STATUTE OF THE UNITED STATES OR OF ANY STATE, and Debtor
hereby further waives, to the extent permitted by law:

(i)                  all damages occasioned by such taking of possession except
any damages which are the direct result of the Collateral Agent's gross
negligence or willful misconduct;

(ii)                all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of
sale or other requirements with respect to the enforcement of the Collateral
Agent's rights hereunder; and

(iii)               all rights of redemption, appraisement, valuation, stay,
extension, moratorium, or redemption law now or hereafter in force under any
applicable law in order to prevent or delay the enforcement of this Agreement or
the absolute sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof, and Debtor, for
itself and all who may claim under it, insofar as it or they now or hereafter
lawfully may, hereby waives the benefit of all such laws.

Any sale of, or the grant of options to purchase, or any other realization upon,
any Collateral shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and
demand, either at law or in equity, of Debtor therein and thereto, and shall be
a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against the Debtor and against any and
all Persons claiming or attempting to claim the Collateral so sold, optioned or
realized upon, or any part thereof, from, through and under Debtor.

4.7              Application of Proceeds.  

(a)                The Proceeds actually collected by the Collateral Agent as a
result of the exercise of any of the rights, powers and remedies of the
Collateral Agent herein granted, shall be applied as follows:

        (i)                  First, to the payment or reimbursement of all
Collateral Agent Expenses, to the extent such costs and expenses have not been
indefeasibly paid or reimbursed by Debtor or some other Person on behalf of
Debtor;

        (ii)                Second, subject to Section 4.7(b) and until all
Secured Obligations owed to the Secured Creditors have been fully, finally, and
indefeasibly paid or performed, each Lender's Commitment has been terminated,
and the Letter of Facility Obligations have been reduced to zero, on a pari
passu basis without any preference or priority to the Noteholders or the
Lenders, to the Trustee, in an amount equal to the Noteholders' Percentage of
such Proceeds, and to the Administrative Agent, in an amount equal to the
Lenders' Percentage of such Proceeds, for distribution by the Trustee under the
Indenture Documents and by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents;

        (iii)               Finally, to the Debtor or such other Person or
Persons as shall be lawfully entitled thereto. 

(b)               The amount of any Proceeds distributed to the Administrative
Agent on account of any Outstanding Letter of Credit Exposure shall be held by
the Administrative Agent and deposited by the Administrative Agent in a special
interest bearing account (the "Letter of Credit Reserve Account") under the sole
dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, and shall be applied and
distributed to the appropriate Issuer of the applicable Letter of Credit if and
to the extent that such Letter of Credit is honored. If such Letter of Credit is
not drawn upon, or is not fully drawn upon, the balance of the funds in the
Letter of Credit Reserve Account attributable to such Letter of Credit shall be
distributed to the Secured Creditors pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 4.7(a)
hereof. 

(c)                Notwithstanding Section 4.7(a),

        (i)                  if any payment by the Collateral Agent to a Secured
Creditor pursuant to Section 4.7(a) would cause any amount recovered by the
Collateral Agent from or in respect of the Collateral to be invalidated,
declared fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid,
returned or restored to a trustee, receiver, or any other Person under any
bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, or liquidation statute, state or federal
law, common law or equitable cause (an "Avoided Payment"), such Secured Creditor
shall not participate in the distribution of any portion of the Avoided Payment;
instead the Avoided Payment shall be distributable to the Trustee and
Administrative Agent pro rata in accordance with Section 4.7(a)(ii), for the
benefit of the remaining Secured Creditors as to whom no such repayment, return
or restoration would be applicable;

        (ii)                the Collateral Agent may condition a payment to the
Trustee or the Administrative Agent on behalf of a Secured Creditor pursuant to
Section 4.7(a) on the specific condition that, in the event such amount is
subsequently determined to be an Avoided Payment, such Secured Creditor will be
required, upon written demand, to return promptly to the Collateral Agent all or
its ratable part, as the case may be, of the Avoided Payment (and any interest
thereon to the extent the same is required to be paid in respect of the return
or restoration of the Avoided Payment), for distribution pro rata in accordance
with Section 4.7(a)(ii) to the remaining Secured Creditors as to whom no such
repayment, return or restoration would be applicable, or to the applicable
obligor, as the case may be; and

        (iii)               the Collateral Agent, in making any payments to the
Trustee and the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Creditors under
Section 4.7(a), may require the Secured Creditors to agree that if any amounts
are not distributed to a particular Secured Creditor pursuant to clause (i)
above or are returned by a Secured Creditor under clause (ii) above, the Secured
Creditors will make such adjustments or arrangements among themselves, whether
by purchasing undivided interests in the Secured Obligations or otherwise, in
order to equitably adjust for any non-pro rata distribution under clause (i)
above and/or the return of all or part of any payment or amount under clause
(ii) above, and to give effect to the intended equal and ratable benefits of
this Agreement as security for the Secured Obligations. 

(d)               All payments required to be made to (i) the Lenders hereunder
shall be made to the Administrative Agent on behalf of and for the account of
the respective Lenders, and (ii) the Noteholders hereunder shall be made to the
Trustee on behalf of and for the account of the Noteholders. 

(e)                For purposes of applying payments received in accordance with
this Section 4.7, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon (i) the
Administrative Agent for a determination (which the Administrative Agent agrees
to provide upon request by the Collateral Agent) of the outstanding Facility
Principal Obligations, and (ii) the Trustee for determinations of the
outstanding Indenture Principal Obligations owed to the Noteholders. 

(f)                 It is understood and agreed that Debtor shall remain liable
to the extent of any deficiency between (i) the amount of the proceeds of the
Collateral applied pursuant to Section 4.7(a) and (ii) the aggregate outstanding
amount of the Secured Obligations.

4.8              Right of Set-off. Debtor agrees that the Collateral Agent may
exercise a right of set‑off with respect to any amounts owed to the Collateral
Agent in the same manner as if the amounts owed were unsecured hereby.

4.9              Exercise of Remedies. Each right, power and remedy herein
granted the Collateral Agent is cumulative and in addition to every other right,
power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing under or
by virtue of the provisions of any other agreement between Debtor and the
Collateral Agent or in equity, at law or by virtue of statute or otherwise. No
failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy held
by the Collateral Agent hereunder or otherwise, shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or
remedy held hereunder or otherwise, preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

4.10          Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case the Collateral Agent shall
have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this
Agreement by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall
have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined
adversely to the Collateral Agent, then and in every such case Debtor, the
Collateral Agent and each holder of any of the Secured Obligations shall be
restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the
Collateral subject to the security interest created under this Agreement, and
all rights, remedies and powers of the Collateral Agent shall continue as if no
such proceeding had been instituted.

4.11          Collateral Agent to Act on Behalf of Secured Creditors. No Secured
Creditor shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this
Agreement or to realize upon the security to be granted hereby, it being
understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised only by the
Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, by itself or upon
instructions from the Required Lenders, and the Secured Creditors agree by their
acceptance of any of the benefits or Proceeds hereof that this Agreement may be
enforced on their behalf only by the action of the Collateral Agent, acting in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

4.12          Separate Actions. A separate action or actions may be brought and
prosecuted against the Debtor whether or not action is brought against either of
the Borrowers or any guarantor of any of the Secured Obligations, and whether or
not any other guarantor or either of the Borrowers be joined in any such action
or actions.

4.13          Termination. Upon the Security Interest Termination Date, the
security interest and Lien of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral shall
thereupon terminate. In any such case, the Collateral Agent shall, upon the
request of Debtor, execute and deliver to Debtor proper instruments
acknowledging the termination of the security interest and Liens. 

5.                  MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
