execute, deliver, authenticate, issue and sell Applicable Certificates in
authorized denominations equaling in the aggregate the amount set forth, with
respect to the Applicable Trust, in Schedule I to the Placement Agreement
evidencing the entire ownership interest in the Applicable Trust, which amount
equals the maximum aggregate principal amount of Equipment Notes which may be
purchased by the Trustee pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement. Except as

Trustee shall not execute, authenticate or deliver Applicable Certificates in

of all or a portion of the Deposit on the Applicable Delivery Date in accordance
with and to the extent permitted by the terms of the Escrow Agreement and the

Trustee shall (as and when specified in such Delivery Notice), subject to the
conditions set forth in Section 2 of the Note Purchase Agreement, enter into and
perform its obligations under the Participation Agreement specified in such
Delivery Notice (the "Applicable Participation Agreement") and cause such
certificates, documents and legal opinions relating to the Trustee to be duly
delivered as required by the Applicable Participation Agreement. If at any time
prior to the Applicable Delivery Date, the Trustee receives a notice of
postponement pursuant to Section 1(e) or 1(f) of the Note Purchase Agreement,
then the Trustee shall give the Depositary (with a copy to the Escrow Agent) a
notice of cancellation of such Notice of Purchase Withdrawal relating to such
Deposit on such Applicable Delivery Date. Upon satisfaction of the conditions
specified in the Note Purchase Agreement and the Applicable Participation
Agreement, the Trustee shall purchase the applicable Equipment Notes with the
proceeds of the withdrawals of all or a portion of the Deposit made on the
Applicable Delivery Date in accordance with the terms of the Deposit Agreement
and the Escrow Agreement. The purchase price of such Equipment Notes shall equal
the principal amount of such Equipment Notes. Amounts withdrawn from such

not applied on the Applicable Delivery Date to the purchase price of the
Equipment Notes, shall be re-deposited by the Trustee with the Depositary on the
Applicable Delivery Date in accordance with the terms of the Deposit Agreement.

                  (d) Initial Certificates offered and sold to Institutional

                  (e) The Exchange Certificates shall be issued in the form of

Certificates. Such Global Exchange Certificates shall be in registered form and
be registered in the name of DTC and deposited with the Trustee, at its
Corporate Trust Office, as custodian for DTC. The aggregate principal amount of
any Global Exchange Certificate may from time to time be increased or decreased
by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as custodian for DTC for such
Global Exchange Certificate, which adjustments shall be conclusive as to the
aggregate principal amount of any such Global Exchange Certificate. Subject to
clause (i) and (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 8.01(e), the terms
hereof applicable to U.S. Global Certificates and/or Global Certificates shall
apply to the Global Exchange Certificates, mutatis mutandis;

         SECURITIES ACT AND (4) AGREES THAT IT WILL DELIVER TO EACH PERSON TO
         WHOM THIS CERTIFICATE IS TRANSFERRED A NOTICE SUBSTANTIALLY TO THE
         EFFECT OF THIS LEGEND. IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSFER OF THIS

         TRANSFERS OF THIS GLOBAL CERTIFICATE SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS IN
         WHOLE, BUT NOT IN PART, TO NOMINEES OF DTC OR TO A SUCCESSOR THEREOF OR
         SUCH SUCCESSOR'S NOMINEE AND TRANSFERS OF PORTIONS OF THIS GLOBAL
         CERTIFICATE SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
         RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN SECTIONS 8.04 AND 8.05 OF THE TRUST
         SUPPLEMENT TO THE PASS THROUGH TRUST AGREEMENT REFERRED TO HEREIN.

                  Section 8.03. TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE. An Applicable
Certificateholder may transfer an Applicable Certificate by written application
to the Registrar stating the name of the proposed transferee and otherwise
complying with the terms of this Agreement, including providing a written
certificate or other evidence of compliance with any restrictions on transfer.
No such transfer shall be effected until, and such transferee shall succeed to
the rights of an Applicable Certificateholder only upon, final acceptance and
registration of the transfer by the Registrar in the Register. Prior to the
registration of any transfer by an Applicable Certificateholder as provided
herein, the Trustee shall treat the person in whose name the Applicable
Certificate is registered as the owner thereof for all purposes, and the Trustee
shall not be affected by notice to the contrary. Furthermore, DTC shall, by
acceptance of a Global Certificate, agree that transfers of beneficial interests
in such Global Certificate may be effected only through a book-entry system
maintained by DTC (or its agent), and that ownership of a beneficial interest in
the Certificate shall be required to be reflected in a book entry. When
Applicable Certificates are presented to the Registrar with a request to
register the transfer or to exchange them for an equal face amount of Applicable
Certificates of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the
transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such
transactions are met. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges in
accordance with the terms, conditions and restrictions hereof, the Trustee shall
execute and authenticate Applicable Certificates at the Registrar's request.

                  Section 8.04. BOOK-ENTRY PROVISIONS FOR U.S. GLOBAL
CERTIFICATE AND OFFSHORE GLOBAL CERTIFICATES. (a) Members of, or participants
in, DTC ("Agent Members") shall have no rights under this Agreement with respect
to any Global Certificate held on their behalf by DTC, or the Trustee as its
custodian, and DTC may be treated by the Trustee and any agent of the Trustee as
the absolute owner of such Global Certificate for all purposes whatsoever.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Trustee or any
agent of the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or
other authorization furnished by DTC or shall impair, as between DTC and its
Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of
the rights of a holder of any Applicable Certificate. Upon the issuance of any
Global Certificate, the Registrar or its duly appointed agent shall record a
nominee of DTC as the registered holder of such Global Certificate.

                  (b) Transfers of any Global Certificate shall be limited to
transfers of such Global Certificate or Offshore Global Certificate in whole,
but not in part, to nominees of DTC, its successor or such successor's nominees.
Beneficial interests in the U.S. Global Certificate and any Offshore Global
Certificate may be transferred in accordance with the rules and procedures of
DTC and the provisions of Section 8.05. Beneficial interests in the U.S. Global
Certificate or an Offshore Global Certificate shall be delivered to all
beneficial owners in the form of U.S. Physical Certificates or Offshore Physical
Certificates, as the case may be, if (i) DTC notifies the Trustee that it is
unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the U.S. Global Certificate or
such Offshore Global Certificate, as the case may be, and a successor depositary
is not appointed by the Trustee within 90 days of such notice or (ii) an Event
of Default has occurred and Applicable Certificateholders with fractional
undivided interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest in the
Applicable Trust advise the Trustee, the Company and DTC through Agent Members
in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through DTC (or a
successor thereto) is no longer in the Applicable Certificateholders' best
interests.

                                      -23-


                  (c) Any beneficial interest in one of the Global Certificates
that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in
the other Global Certificate will, upon such transfer, cease to be an interest
in such Global Certificate and become an interest in the other Global
Certificate and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer
restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in
such other Global Certificate for as long as it remains such an interest.

                  (d) In connection with the transfer of the entire U.S. Global
Certificate or an entire Offshore Global Certificate to the beneficial owners
thereof pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 8.04, such U.S. Global
Certificate or Offshore Global Certificate, as the case may be, shall be deemed
to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Trustee shall
execute, authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by DTC in
exchange for its beneficial interest in such U.S. Global Certificate or Offshore
Global Certificate, as the case may be, an equal aggregate principal amount of
U.S. Physical Certificates or Offshore Physical Certificates, as the case may
be, of authorized denominations.

                  (e) Any U.S. Physical Certificate delivered in exchange for an
interest in the U.S. Global Certificate pursuant to paragraph (b) of this
Section 8.04 shall, except as otherwise provided by paragraph (f) of Section
8.05, bear the Private Placement Legend.

                  (f) Any Offshore Physical Certificate delivered in exchange
for an interest in an Offshore Global Certificate pursuant to paragraph (b) of
this Section shall, except as otherwise provided by paragraph (f) of Section
8.05, bear the applicable legend regarding transfer restrictions set forth in
Section 8.02(a).

                  (g) The registered holder of the U.S. Global Certificate or
any Offshore Global Certificate may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any
Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through
Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this
Agreement or the Applicable Certificates.

                  Section 8.05. SPECIAL TRANSFER PROVISIONS. Unless and until
(i) an Initial Certificate is sold under an effective Shelf Registration
Statement, or (ii) an Initial Certificate is exchanged for an Exchange
Certificate pursuant to an effective Exchange Offer Registration Statement, in
each case pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the following
provisions shall apply to such Initial Certificates:

                  (a) TRANSFERS TO NON-QIB INSTITUTIONAL ACCREDITED INVESTORS.
The following provisions shall apply with respect to the registration of any
proposed transfer of an Applicable Certificate to any Institutional Accredited
Investor which is not a QIB (excluding transfers to or by Non-U.S. Persons):

                    (i)    The Registrar shall register the transfer of any
                           Applicable Certificate, whether or not such
                           Applicable Certificate bears the Private Placement
                           Legend, if (x) the requested transfer is after the
                           time period referred to in Rule 144(k) under the
                           Securities Act as in effect with respect to such
                           transfer or (y) the proposed transferee has delivered
                           to the Registrar a letter substantially in the form
                           of Exhibit D hereto and the aggregate principal
                           amount of the Applicable Certificates being
                           transferred is at least $100,000.

                   (ii)    If the proposed transferor is an Agent Member holding
                           a beneficial interest in the U.S. Global Certificate,
                           upon receipt by the Registrar of (x) the documents,
                           if any, required by paragraph (i) and (y)
                           instructions given in accordance with DTC's and the
                           Registrar's procedures, the Registrar shall reflect
                           on its books and records the date of the transfer and
                           a decrease in the principal amount of such U.S.

replacement of Applicable Certificates not bearing the Private Placement Legend,
the Registrar shall deliver Applicable Certificates that do not bear the Private
Placement Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Applicable
Certificates bearing the Private Placement Legend, the Registrar shall deliver
only Applicable Certificates that bear the Private Placement Legend unless
either (i) the circumstances contemplated by paragraph (a)(i)(x) or (e)(ii) of
this Section 8.05 exist or (ii) there is delivered to the Registrar an Opinion
of Counsel to the effect that neither such legend nor the related restrictions
on transfer are required in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of
the Securities Act.

                  (f) GENERAL. By its acceptance of any Applicable Certificate
bearing the Private Placement Legend, each Holder of such an Applicable
Certificate acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Applicable
Certificate set forth in this Agreement and agrees that it will transfer such
Applicable Certificate only as provided in this Agreement. The Registrar shall
not register a transfer of any Applicable Certificate unless such transfer
complies with the restrictions on transfer of such Applicable Certificate set
forth in this Agreement. In connection with any transfer of Applicable
Certificates, each Applicable Certificateholder agrees by its acceptance of the
Applicable Certificates to furnish the Registrar or the Trustee such
certifications, legal opinions or other information as either of them may
reasonably require to confirm that such transfer is being made pursuant to an
exemption from, or a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements
of the Securities Act; provided that the Registrar shall not be required to
determine the sufficiency of any such certifications, legal opinions or other
information.

                  Until such time as no Applicable Certificates remain
Outstanding, the Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other
written communications received pursuant to Section 8.04 or this Section 8.05.
The Trustee, if not the Registrar at such time, shall have the right to inspect
and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at
any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable written notice to the
Registrar.

herein expressly provided, all of the provisions, terms and conditions of the

Agreement and this Trust Supplement shall be taken, read and construed as one
and the same instrument. All replacements of provisions of, and other
modifications of the Basic Agreement set forth in this Trust Supplement are
solely with respect to the Applicable Trust.

original, but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same
instrument.

that the Applicable Trust be classified for U.S. federal income tax purposes as
a grantor trust under Subpart E, Part I of Subchapter J of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, and not as a trust or association taxable as a

therein, agrees to treat the Applicable Trust as a grantor trust for all U.S.

                            [REVERSE OF CERTIFICATE]

                  The Certificates do not represent a direct obligation of, or
an obligation guaranteed by, or an interest in, the Company or the Trustee or
any of their affiliates. The Certificates are limited in right of payment, all
as more specifically set forth on the face hereof and in the Agreement. All
payments or distributions made to Certificateholders under the Agreement shall
be made only from the Trust Property and only to the extent that the Trustee
shall have sufficient income or proceeds from the Trust Property to make such
payments in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Each Certificateholder
of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will look solely
to the income and proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent available for
distribution to such Certificateholder as provided in the Agreement. This
Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made to
the Agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits,
obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby. A copy of the Agreement may
be examined during normal business hours at the principal office of the Trustee,
and at such other places, if any, designated by the Trustee, by any
Certificateholder upon request.

                  The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Company and the rights of the Certificateholders under the
Agreement at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the
Certificateholders holding Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided
Interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest in the Trust. Any
such consent by the Certificateholder of this Certificate shall be conclusive
and binding on such Certificateholder and upon all future Certificateholders of
this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in
certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Certificateholders of
any of the Certificates.

                  As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable
in the Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer
at the offices or agencies maintained by the Trustee in its capacity as
Registrar, or by any successor Registrar, in the Borough of Manhattan, the City
of New York, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in
form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Registrar duly executed by the
Certificateholder hereof or such Certificateholder's attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized denominations
evidencing the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest in the Trust will be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

                  The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates
without coupons in minimum denominations of [$100,000](a) [$1,000](b) Fractional
Undivided Interest and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof [except
that one Certificate may be in a denomination of less than $100,000]*. As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest in the
Trust, as requested by the Certificateholder surrendering the same.

                  No service charge will be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange, but the Trustee shall require payment by the Holder of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection
therewith.

                  The Trustee, the Registrar, and any agent of the Trustee or
the Registrar may treat the person in whose name this Certificate is registered

nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

                  The obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement
and the Trust created thereby shall terminate upon the distribution to
Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to
the Agreement and the disposition of all property held as part of the Trust
Property.

Dear Sirs:

                  In connection with our proposed purchase of $_______________

               (2) We understand that the Certificates have not been registered
         under the Securities Act, and that the Certificates may not be offered
         or sold except as permitted in the following sentence. We agree, on our
         own behalf and on behalf of any accounts for which we are acting as

         account or for one or more accounts (each of which is an institutional
         "accredited investor") as to each of which we exercise sole investment
         discretion.
