                 SECTION 2.1  Agreement to Terms of Subordination; Payments
from Monies Received Only.  (a)  Each Trustee hereby acknowledges and agrees
to the terms of subordination and distribution set forth in this Agreement in
respect of each Class of Certificates and agrees to enforce such provisions
and cause all payments in respect of the Equipment Notes and the Liquidity
Facilities and the Policy to be applied in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.  In addition, each Trustee hereby agrees to cause the Equipment
Notes purchased by the related Trust to be registered in the name of the
Subordination Agent or its nominee, as agent and trustee for such Trustee, to
be held in trust by the Subordination Agent solely for the purpose of
facilitating the enforcement of the subordination and other provisions of
this Agreement.

                 (b)  Each of the Trustees and the Subordination Agent hereby
agrees and, as provided in each Trust Agreement, each Certificateholder, by
its acceptance of a Certificate, each Liquidity Provider, by entering into
the Liquidity Facility to which it is a party, and the Policy Provider, by
entering into the Policy Provider Agreement, has agreed to look solely to
such amounts  to the extent available for distribution to it as provided in
this Agreement and to the relevant Deposits and that none of the Trustees,
Owner Trustees, Loan Trustees, Owner Participants nor the Subordination Agent
is personally liable to any of them for any amounts payable or any liability
under this Agreement, any Trust Agreement, any Liquidity Facility, the Policy
Provider Agreement or such Certificate, except (in the case of the
Subordination Agent) as expressly provided herein or (in the case of the
Trustees) as expressly provided in each Trust Agreement or (in the case of
the Owner Trustees and the Loan Trustees) as expressly provided in any
Operative Agreement.

                 SECTION 2.2  Trust Accounts.  (a)  Upon the execution of
this Agreement, the Subordination Agent shall establish and maintain in its

trust for the benefit of the Trustees, the Certificateholders, the Liquidity
Providers and the Policy Provider, (ii) as a sub-account in the Collection
Account, the Special Payments Account as an Eligible Deposit Account, bearing
a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held in
trust for the benefit of the Trustees, the Certificateholders, the Liquidity
Providers and the Policy Provider and (iii) the Policy Account as an Eligible
Deposit Account bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds
deposited therein are held in trust for the benefit of the Class G Trustee

hereunder.

                 (b)  Funds on deposit in the Trust Accounts shall be
invested and reinvested by the Subordination Agent in Eligible Investments
selected by the Subordination Agent if such investments are reasonably
available and have maturities no later than the earlier of (i) 90 days
following the date of such investment and (ii) the Business Day immediately
preceding the Regular Distribution Date or the date of the related
distribution pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof, as the case may be, next
following the date of such investment; provided, however, that following the
making of a Downgrade Drawing or a Non-Extension Drawing under any Liquidity

such amounts to be invested in Specified Investments which yield at least an
amount equal to the interest (excluding the Applicable Margin (as defined in
the applicable Liquidity Facility)) that is payable to such Liquidity
Provider in respect of such amounts pursuant to Section 3.7 of the relevant
Liquidity Facility (it being understood that it may not be feasible to obtain
such a yield).  Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any
Investment Earnings shall be deposited in the Collection Account when
received by the Subordination Agent and shall be applied by the Subordination
Agent in the same manner as the principal amount of such investment is to be
applied and any losses shall be charged against the principal amount

liable for any loss resulting from any investment, reinvestment or
liquidation required to be made under this Agreement other than by reason of
its willful misconduct or gross negligence or, with respect to the handling
or transfer of funds, ordinary negligence.  Eligible Investments and any
other investment required to be made hereunder shall be held to their
maturities except that any such investment may be sold (without regard to its
maturity) by the Subordination Agent without instructions whenever such sale
is necessary to make a distribution required under this Agreement.

and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Trust Accounts

otherwise provided herein with respect to Investment Earnings).  The Trust
Accounts shall be held in trust by the Subordination Agent under the sole
dominion and control of the Subordination Agent for the benefit of the
Trustees, the Certificateholders, the Liquidity Providers and the Policy
Provider, as the case may be.  If, at any time, any of the Trust Accounts

within 10 Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed 30 calendar
days, to which the Policy Provider and each Rating Agency may consent)
establish a new Collection Account, Special Payments Account, Policy Account
or Cash Collateral Account, as the case may be, as an Eligible Deposit
Account and shall transfer any cash and/or any investments to such new
Collection Account, Special Payments Account, Policy Account or Cash
Collateral Account, as the case may be.  So long as the Subordination Agent

Eligible Deposit Accounts.

Payments Account.  (a)  The Subordination Agent shall, upon receipt thereof,

Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to each Trustee, the Liquidity
Providers and the Policy Provider.  The Subordination Agent shall promptly
calculate the amount of the redemption or purchase of Equipment Notes or the
amount of any Overdue Scheduled Payment, as the case may be, comprising such
Special Payment under the applicable Indenture or Indentures and shall
promptly send to each Trustee and the Liquidity Provider a Written Notice of
such amount and the amount allocable to each Trust.  Such Written Notice
shall also set the distribution date for such Special Payment (a "Special
Distribution Date"), which, subject to Section 3.7, shall be a Business Day

Written Notice or (y) the date the Subordination Agent has received or
expects to receive such Special Payment.  Amounts on deposit in the Special

the redemption or purchase (including, without limitation, a purchase

                 SECTION 2.5  Designated Representatives.  (a)  With the
delivery of this Agreement, the Subordination Agent shall furnish to each
Liquidity Provider, the Policy Provider and each Trustee, and from time to
time thereafter may furnish to each Liquidity Provider, the Policy Provider

specimen signatures of the officers of the Subordination Agent and the

Provider and each Trustee receives a subsequent Subordination Agent
Incumbency Certificate, it shall be entitled to rely on the last
Subordination Agent Incumbency Certificate delivered to it hereunder.

                 (b)  With the delivery of this Agreement, each Trustee shall
furnish to the Subordination Agent, and from time to time thereafter may

Subordination Agent's request (which request shall not be made more than one
time in any 12-month period), a certificate (a "Trustee Incumbency
Certificate") of a Responsible Officer of such Trustee certifying as to the
incumbency and specimen signatures of the officers of such Trustee and the

                 (c)  With the delivery of this Agreement, each Liquidity

<PAGE>

Certificate") of any authorized signatory of such Liquidity Provider or
Policy Provider certifying as to the incumbency and specimen signatures of

give Written Notices on behalf of such Liquidity Provider or Policy Provider
hereunder.  Until the Subordination Agent receives a subsequent Provider
Incumbency Certificate, it shall be entitled to rely on the last Provider
Incumbency Certificate delivered to it hereunder.

                 SECTION 2.6  Controlling Party.  (a)  The Trustees, the
Liquidity Providers and the Policy Provider hereby agree that, with respect
to any Indenture at any given time, the Loan Trustee thereunder will be
directed (i) in taking, or refraining from taking, any action with respect to
such Indenture or the Equipment Notes issued thereunder, so long as no
Indenture Default has occurred and is continuing thereunder, by the holders
of at least a majority of the outstanding principal amount of such Equipment
Notes (provided that, for so long as the Subordination Agent is the
registered holder of the Equipment Notes, the Subordination Agent shall act
with respect to this clause (i) in accordance with the directions of the
Trustees representing holders of Certificates representing an undivided
interest in such principal amount of Equipment Notes) except as provided in
Section 9.1(b) hereof, and (ii) after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Indenture Default thereunder (which, in the case of an
Indenture pertaining to a Leased Aircraft, has not been cured by the
applicable Owner Trustee or the applicable Owner Participant, if applicable,
pursuant to Section 4.03 of such Indenture), in taking, or refraining from
taking, any action with respect to such Indenture or such Equipment Notes,
including exercising remedies thereunder (including accelerating the
Equipment Notes issued thereunder or foreclosing the Lien on the Aircraft
securing such Equipment Notes), by the Controlling Party.

                 (b)  Subject to subparagraph (c) below, the Person who shall
be the "Controlling Party" with respect to any Indenture shall be: (x) the
Policy Provider until payment of Final Distributions to the holders of Class
G Certificates and no obligations owing to the Policy Provider remain
outstanding or, if a Policy Provider Default has occurred and is continuing,
the Class G Trustee until payment of Final Distributions to the holders of
Class G Certificates; and thereafter,  (y) the Class C Trustee.  For purposes
of giving effect to the foregoing, the Trustees (other than the Controlling
Party) irrevocably agree (and the Certificateholders (other than the
Certificateholders represented by the Controlling Party) shall be deemed to
agree by virtue of their purchase of Certificates) that the Subordination
Agent, as record holder of the Equipment Notes, shall exercise its voting
rights in respect of the Equipment Notes as directed by the Controlling Party




<PAGE>

and any vote so exercised shall be binding upon the Trustees and all
Certificateholders.

                 The Subordination Agent shall give written notice to all of
the other parties to this Agreement promptly upon a change in the identity of
the Controlling Party.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that it shall not
exercise any of the rights of the Controlling Party at such time as it is not
the Controlling Party hereunder; provided, however, that nothing herein
contained shall prevent or prohibit any Non-Controlling Party from exercising
such rights as shall be specifically granted to such Non-Controlling Party
hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements.

                 (c)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time after 18
months from the earliest to occur of (i) the date on which the entire
Available Amount under any Liquidity Facility shall have been drawn (for any
reason other than a Downgrade Drawing or a Non-Extension Drawing) and any
amount remains unreimbursed, (ii) the date on which the entire amount of any
Downgrade Drawing or Non-Extension Drawing has been withdrawn from a Cash
Collateral Account to pay interest on the related Class of Certificates and
any amount remains unreimbursed and (iii) the date on which all Equipment
Notes shall have been Accelerated (provided that with respect to the period
prior to the Delivery Period Expiry Date, such Equipment Notes have an
aggregate outstanding principal balance in excess of $300,000,000), the
Liquidity Provider with the higher outstanding amount of unreimbursed
Liquidity Obligations (so long as such Liquidity Provider has not defaulted
in its obligation to make any advance under any Liquidity Facility, the
"Eligible Provider") shall have the right to elect, by Written Notice to the
Subordination Agent, the Policy Provider and each of the Trustees, to become
the Controlling Party hereunder with respect to any Indenture at any time
from and including the last day of such 18-month period, provided that if,
within 15 Business Days after its receipt of any such Written Notice from
such Liquidity Provider (which notice may be given on or after the fifteenth
Business Day prior to the end of such 18-month period) the Policy Provider
pays to each Liquidity Provider all outstanding drawings owing to such
Liquidity Provider in respect of its Liquidity Facility, and interest accrued
thereon to such date, the Policy Provider shall remain the Controlling Party
so long as no Policy Provider Default has occurred and is continuing (in
which case the Eligible Provider, if it so elects and if Liquidity
Obligations owing to it remain outstanding, or if it does not so elect or if
no Liquidity Obligations remain outstanding, the Class G Trustee, shall
become the Controlling Party).  In connection with the delivery of any such
endorsed Policy, the parties hereto agree to enter into an amendment to this
Agreement and the Subordination Agent agrees to enter into an amendment to
the Policy Provider Agreement, in each instance, to make such changes thereto
as may be necessary to give effect to the foregoing (any such amendment to
this Agreement to be subject to delivery to each of the Trustees and the
Subordination Agent of a Ratings Confirmation issued by each Rating Agency



<PAGE>

with respect thereto and each such amendment to be in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to each party thereto).  In addition, each Liquidity
Provider agrees to request the Policy Drawings permitted by such endorsed
Policy and that the proceeds thereof be applied to the Liquidity Obligations
owing to it.

                 (d)  The exercise of remedies by the Controlling Party under
this Agreement shall be expressly limited by Section 4.1(a)(ii) hereof.

                 (e)  The Controlling Party shall not be entitled to require
or obligate any Non-Controlling Party to provide funds necessary to exercise
any right or remedy hereunder.

         Liquidity Providers pari passu on the basis of the amount of



<PAGE>

         Liquidity Obligations owed to each Liquidity Provider, (ii) if the
         Class G Liquidity Provider has defaulted in its obligation to make
         any Interest Drawing in respect of the Class G Certificates, the
         aggregate amount of interest accrued on the portion of any Policy
         Drawing made to cover the shortfall attributable to such default by
         the Liquidity Provider at the rate provided in the "except" clause of
         the definition of "Policy Provider Obligations" and (iii) if the
         Policy Provider has elected to pay to each Liquidity Provider all
         outstanding drawings and interest owing to such Liquidity Provider
         under its Liquidity Facility pursuant to subsection 2.6(c) hereof,
         the amount of such payment made to the Liquidity Providers
         attributable to such interest accrued on such drawings, shall be
         distributed to the Liquidity Providers and the Policy Provider pari
         passu on the basis of the amounts owing to each;

                 fourth, such amount remaining as shall be required (A) if
         any Cash Collateral Account had been previously funded as provided in
         Section 3.6(f), unless (i) a Performing Note Deficiency exists and a
         Liquidity Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with
         respect to the relevant Liquidity Facility or (ii) a Final Drawing
         shall have occurred with respect to such Liquidity Facility, to fund
         such Cash Collateral Account up to its Required Amount (less the
         amount of any repayments of Interest Drawings under such Liquidity
         Facility while subclause (A)(i) above is applicable) shall be
         deposited in such Account, (B) if any Liquidity Facility shall become
         a Downgraded Facility or a Non-Extended Facility at a time when
         unreimbursed Interest Drawings under such Liquidity Facility have
         reduced the Available Amount thereunder to zero, unless (i) a
         Performing Note Deficiency exists and a Liquidity Event of Default
         shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the relevant
         Liquidity Facility or (ii) a Final Drawing shall have occurred with
         respect to such Liquidity Facility, to deposit into the related Cash
         Collateral Account an amount equal to such Accounts Required Amount
         (less the amount of any repayments of Interest Drawings under such
         Liquidity Facility while subclause (B)(i) above is applicable) shall
         be deposited in such Cash Collateral Account, and (C) after
         application of the amounts required pursuant to subclause (A) or
         subclause (B) of this clause "fourth", (x) to pay in full the
         outstanding amount of all Liquidity Obligations then due under such
         Liquidity Facility (other than amounts payable pursuant to clause
         "second" or "third" of this Section 3.3 and as determined after
         giving effect to payments made by the Policy Provider to the
         Liquidity Providers in respect of principal of drawings under the
         Liquidity Facilities) and (y) if the Policy Provider has elected to
         pay to each Liquidity Provider all outstanding drawings and interest
         owing to such Liquidity Provider under its Liquidity Facility
         pursuant to subsection 2.6(c) hereof, the principal amount of such



<PAGE>

         payment made to the Liquidity Providers, shall be distributed to such
         Liquidity Providers and the Policy Provider pari passu on the basis
         of the amounts of all such unreimbursed Liquidity Obligations and
         such payments under the Policy;

                 fifth, if, with respect to any particular Liquidity
         Facility, any amounts are to be distributed pursuant to either
         subclause (A) or (B) of clause "fourth" above, then the Liquidity
         Provider with respect to such Liquidity Facility shall be paid the
         excess of (x) the aggregate outstanding amount of unreimbursed
         advances (whether or not then due) under such Liquidity Facility over
         (y) the Required Amount for the relevant Class (less the amount of
         any repayments of Interest Drawings under such Liquidity Facility
         while subclause (A)(i) or (B)(i), as the case may be, of clause
         "fourth" above is applicable), pari passu on the basis of such
         amounts in respect of each Liquidity Provider;

                 sixth, such amount as shall be required to reimburse or pay
         (i) the Subordination Agent for any Tax (other than Taxes imposed on
         compensation paid hereunder), expense, fee, charge or other loss
         incurred by or any other amount payable to the Subordination Agent in
         connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (to the extent
         not previously reimbursed), shall be applied by the Subordination
         Agent in reimbursement of such amount, (ii) each Trustee for any Tax
         (other than Taxes imposed on compensation paid under the applicable
         Trust Agreement), expense, fee, charge, loss or any other amount
         payable to such Trustee under the applicable Trust Agreements (to the
         extent not previously reimbursed), shall be distributed to such
         Trustee and (iii) each Certificateholder for payments, if any, made
         by it pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof in respect of amounts described
         in clause (i) above, shall be distributed to the applicable Trustee
         for the account of such Certificateholder, in each such case, pari
         passu on the basis of all amounts described in clauses (i) through
         (iii) above;

                 seventh, such amount remaining as shall be required to pay
         in full Adjusted Expected Distributions on the Class G Certificates

                 eighth, such amount remaining as shall be required to pay
         the Policy Provider Obligations then due to the Policy Provider under
         the Policy Provider Agreement (other than amounts payable pursuant to
         clauses "first" through "fourth" above and other than any Excess
         Reimbursement Obligations) shall be paid to the Policy Provider;






<PAGE>

                 ninth, such amount remaining as shall be required to pay in
         full Adjusted Expected Distributions on the Class C Certificates
         shall be distributed to the Class C Trustee;

                 tenth, such amount remaining as shall be required to pay any
         Excess Reimbursement Obligations and any amounts due under the Policy
         Fee Letter to the Policy Provider;

                 eleventh, such amount remaining shall be retained in the
         Collection Account until the immediately succeeding Distribution Date
         or, if all Classes of Certificates shall have been paid in full,
         shall be distributed to the Owner Trustee to the extent that the
         amount received from the Loan Trustees and deposited in the
         Collection Account exceed the amounts described in clauses "first"
         through "tenth" above; and

                 twelfth, amount remaining shall be distributed to the
         Certificateholders of the related Trust.

                 SECTION 3.4  Other Payments.  Any payments received by the
Subordination Agent for which no provision as to the application thereof is
made in this Agreement shall be distributed by the Subordination Agent in the
order of priority specified in Section 3.3 hereof.

                 SECTION 3.5  Payments to the Trustees, the Liquidity
Providers and the Policy Provider.  Any amounts distributed hereunder to any
Liquidity Provider shall be paid to such Liquidity Provider by wire transfer
of funds to the address such Liquidity Provider shall provide to the
Subordination Agent.  The Subordination Agent shall provide a Written Notice
of any such transfer to the applicable Liquidity Provider, as the case may
be, at the time of such transfer.  Any amounts distributed hereunder by the
Subordination Agent to any Trustee which shall not be the same institution as
the Subordination Agent shall be paid to such Trustee by wire transfer of
funds to the address such Trustee shall provide to the Subordination Agent.

                 SECTION 3.6  Liquidity Facilities.  (a)  Interest Drawings.
If on any Distribution Date, after giving effect to the subordination
provisions of this Agreement, the Subordination Agent shall not have
sufficient funds for the payment of any amounts due and owing in respect of
accrued interest on the Class G Certificates or the Class C Certificates (at
the Stated Interest Rate for such Class of Certificates), then, prior to
10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such Distribution Date, the Subordination
Agent shall request a drawing (each such drawing, an "Interest Drawing")
under the Liquidity Facility with respect to such Class of Certificates (and
concurrently with the making of such request, the Subordination Agent shall
give notice to the Policy Provider of such insufficiency of funds) in an
amount equal to the lesser of (i) an amount sufficient to pay the amount of



<PAGE>

such accrued interest (at the Stated Interest Rate for such Class of
Certificates) or (ii) the Available Amount under such Liquidity Facility, and
shall pay such amount to the Trustee with respect to such Class of
Certificates in payment of such accrued interest.

                 (b)  Application of Interest Drawings.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) all payments
received by the Subordination Agent in respect of an Interest Drawing under
the Class G Liquidity Facility and all amounts withdrawn by the Subordination
Agent from the Class G Cash Collateral Account, and payable in each case to
the Class G Certificateholders, shall be promptly distributed to the Class G
Trustee and (ii) all payments received by the Subordination Agent in respect
of an Interest Drawing under the Class C Liquidity Facility and all amounts
withdrawn by the Subordination Agent from the Class C Cash Collateral
Account, and payable in each case to the Class C Certificateholders, shall be
promptly distributed to the Class C Trustee.

                 (c)  Downgrade Drawings. If at any time the short-term
unsecured debt rating of any Liquidity Provider issued by either Rating
Agency is lower than the applicable Threshold Rating, within 30 days after
receiving notice of such downgrade (but no later than the expiration date of
the Liquidity Facility issued by the downgraded Liquidity Provider (the
"Downgraded Facility")), such Liquidity Provider may arrange, or the
Subordination Agent (in consultation with Northwest), may arrange for a
Replacement Liquidity Provider to issue and deliver a Replacement Liquidity
Facility to the Subordination Agent.  If a Downgraded Facility has not been
replaced in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the Subordination
Agent shall, on such 30th day (or if such 30th day is not a Business Day, on
the next succeeding Business Day) (or, if earlier, the expiration date of
such Downgraded Facility), request a drawing in accordance with and to the
extent permitted by such Downgraded Facility (such drawing, a "Downgrade
Drawing") of all available and undrawn amounts thereunder.  Amounts drawn
pursuant to a Downgrade Drawing shall be maintained and invested as provided
in Section 3.6(f) hereof.  The Liquidity Provider may also arrange for a
Replacement Liquidity Provider to issue and deliver a Replacement Liquidity
Facility at any time after such Downgrade Drawing so long as such Downgrade
Drawing has not been reimbursed in full to the Liquidity Provider.

                 (d)  Non-Extension Drawings.  If any Liquidity Facility with
respect to any Class of Certificates is scheduled to expire on a date (the
"Stated Expiration Date") prior to the date that is 15 days after the Final
Legal Distribution Date for such Class of Certificates, the Subordination
Agent may, by notice to the Liquidity Provider (each such notice being an
"Extension Notice") given no later than the 40th day and no earlier than the
60th day prior to the then applicable Expiry Date, request an extension of
the Expiry Date to the earlier of (i) the date which is 15 days after the
Final Legal Distribution Date for such Class of Certificates and (ii) the



<PAGE>

date that is the day immediately preceding the 364th day occurring after the
last day of the Consent Period (as hereinafter defined).  Whether or not a
Liquidity Provider has received a request from the Subordination Agent, such
Liquidity Provider may, but shall not be obligated to, by a notice (a
"Consent Notice") to the Subordination Agent, given during the period
commencing on the date that is 60 days prior to the Expiry Date then in
effect and ending on the date that is 25 days prior to the Expiry Date then
in effect for such Liquidity Facility (such period, with respect to such
Liquidity Facility, the "Consent Period"), consent to such extension of the
Expiry Date, which consent may be given or withheld by the Liquidity Provider
in its absolute and sole discretion; provided, however, that such extension
shall not be effective with respect to the Liquidity Provider if by a notice
(a "Withdrawal Notice") to the Subordination Agent during the Consent Period
the Liquidity Provider revokes its Consent Notice.  If a Withdrawal Notice
has been given during the applicable Consent Period or if the Liquidity
Provider shall not have delivered a Consent Notice within the Consent Period
(and, in each case, if the Liquidity Provider shall not have been replaced in
accordance with Section 3.6(e) hereof), the Subordination Agent shall be
entitled on and after the date on which the Consent Period ends (but prior to
the then effective Expiry Date), in accordance with and to the extent
permitted by the terms of the expiring Liquidity Facility (a "Non-Extended
Facility") to request a drawing under such expiring Liquidity Facility (such
drawing, a "Non-Extension Drawing") of all available and undrawn amounts
thereunder.  Amounts drawn pursuant to any Non-Extension Drawing shall be
maintained and invested in accordance with Section 3.6(f) hereof.

                 (e)  Issuance of Replacement Liquidity Facility.  At any
time, the Subordination Agent may, at its option, in consultation with
Northwest, arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility to replace the
Liquidity Facility for any Class of Certificates; provided that, the initial
Liquidity Provider and the initial Replacement Liquidity Provider may not be
replaced with respect to any Liquidity Facility by the Subordination Agent or
Northwest prior to the fifth anniversary of the Closing unless there shall
have become due to the initial Liquidity Provider amounts pursuant to Section
3.1, 3.2 or 3.3 of the Liquidity Facilities or the Tax Letter and the
replacement of the initial Liquidity Provider would reduce or eliminate the
obligation to pay such amounts; provided further that (i) the initial
Liquidity Provider may arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Provider with
respect to any Liquidity Facility at any time (in which event Northwest shall
make commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate such replacement) and (ii)
the Liquidity Provider may arrange, or the Subordination Agent (in
consultation with Northwest) may arrange, for a Replacement Liquidity
Provider pursuant to paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 3.6.  In any such
consultation, the Subordination Agent shall accept the recommendations of
Northwest in the absence of a good faith reason not to do so.  No such
Replacement Liquidity Facility executed in connection therewith shall become
effective and no such Replacement Liquidity Facility shall be deemed a



<PAGE>

"Liquidity Facility" under the Operative Agreements, unless and until (i) the
conditions referred to in the immediately following paragraph shall have been
satisfied and (ii) if such Replacement Liquidity Facility shall materially
adversely affect the rights, remedies, interests or obligations of the Class
G Certificateholders or the Class C Certificateholders under any of the
Operative Agreements, the applicable Trustee shall have consented, in
writing, to the execution and issuance of such Replacement Liquidity
Facility.

                 In connection with the issuance of each Replacement
Liquidity Facility, the Subordination Agent shall (x) prior to the issuance
of such Replacement Liquidity Facility, obtain written confirmation from each
Rating Agency that such Replacement Liquidity Facility will not cause a
reduction of the rating then in effect for any Class of Certificates by such
Rating Agency (without regard to any downgrading of the ratings of any
Liquidity Provider being replaced pursuant to Section 3.6(c) hereof and
without regard to the Policy) and, in the case of the Class G Liquidity
Facility only, the written consent of the Policy Provider (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (y) pay all Liquidity
Obligations then owing to the replaced Liquidity Provider (which payment
shall be made first from available funds in the Cash Collateral Account as
described in clause (v) of Section 3.6(f) hereof and thereafter from any
other available source, including, without limitation, a drawing under the
Replacement Liquidity Facility, it being understood that no Replacement
Liquidity Facility shall become effective (other than insofar as necessary to
permit the repayment of amounts owed to the replaced Liquidity Provider)
until all amounts owed to the replaced Liquidity Provider have been paid) and
(z) cause the issuer of the Replacement Liquidity Facility to deliver the
Replacement Liquidity Facility to the Subordination Agent, together with a
legal opinion opining that such Replacement Liquidity Facility is an
enforceable obligation of such Replacement Liquidity Provider.  Upon
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 3.6(e), (i) the
replaced Liquidity Facility shall terminate and (ii) such Replacement
Liquidity Provider shall be deemed to be a Liquidity Provider with the rights
and obligations of a Liquidity Provider hereunder and under the other
Operative Agreements and such Replacement Liquidity Facility shall be deemed
to be a Liquidity Facility hereunder and under the other Operative
Agreements.

                 (f)  Cash Collateral Accounts; Withdrawals; Investments.  In
the event the Subordination Agent shall draw all available amounts under the
Class G Liquidity Facility or the Class C Liquidity Facility pursuant to
Section 3.6(c), 3.6(d) or 3.6(i), amounts so drawn shall be deposited by the
Subordination Agent in the Class G Cash Collateral Account or the Class C
Cash Collateral Account, respectively.  Amounts so deposited shall be
invested in Eligible Investments in accordance with Section 2.2(b) hereof.
Investment Earnings on amounts on deposit in the Cash Collateral Accounts



<PAGE>

shall be deposited in the Collection Account.  The Subordination Agent shall
deliver a written statement to the respective Liquidity Provider one day
prior to each Distribution Date setting forth the aggregate amount of
Investment Earnings held in the applicable Cash Collateral Accounts as of
such date.  In addition, from and after the date funds are so deposited, the
Subordination Agent shall make withdrawals from such account as follows:

                    (i)   on each Distribution Date, the Subordination Agent
         shall, to the extent it shall not have received funds to pay accrued
         and unpaid interest on the Class G Certificates (at the Stated
         Interest Rate for the Class G Certificates) from any other source,
         withdraw from the Class G Cash Collateral Account, and pay to the
         Class G Trustee an amount equal to the lesser of (x) an amount
         necessary to pay accrued and unpaid interest (at the Stated Interest
         Rate for the Class G Certificates) on such Class G Certificates and
         (y) the amount on deposit in the Class G Cash Collateral Account;

                    (ii)  on each Distribution Date, the Subordination Agent
         shall, to the extent it shall not have received funds to pay accrued
         and unpaid interest on the Class C Certificates (at the Stated
         Interest Rate for the Class C Certificates) from any other source,
         withdraw from the Class C Cash Collateral Account, and pay to the
         Class C Trustee an amount equal to the lesser of (x) an amount
         necessary to pay accrued and unpaid interest (at the Stated Interest
         Rate for the Class C Certificates) on such Class C Certificates and
         (y) the amount on deposit in the Class C Cash Collateral Account;

                   (iii)  on each date on which the Pool Balance of the Class
         G Trust shall have been reduced by payments made to the Class G
         Certificateholders pursuant to Section 2.4, 3.2 or 3.3 hereof or
         pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement for
         such Class, the Subordination Agent shall withdraw from the Class G
         Cash Collateral Account such amount as is necessary so that, after
         giving effect to the reduction of the Pool Balance on such date
         (including any such reduction resulting from a prior withdrawal of
         amounts on deposit in the Class G Cash Collateral Account on such
         date), the Required Amount (with respect to the Class G Liquidity
         Facility) will be on deposit in the Class G Cash Collateral Account
         and shall first, pay such amount to the Class G Liquidity Provider
         until the Liquidity Obligations (with respect to the Class G
         Certificates) shall have been paid in full, and second, deposit any
         remaining amount in the Collection Account;

                    (iv)  on each date on which the Pool Balance of the Class
         C Trust shall have been reduced by payments made of the Class C
         Certificateholders pursuant to Section 2.4, 3.2 or 3.3 hereof or
         pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement for



<PAGE>

         such Class, the Subordination Agent shall withdraw from the Class C
         Cash Collateral Account such amount as is necessary so that, after
         giving effect to the reduction of the Pool Balance on such date
         (including any such reduction resulting from a prior withdrawal of
         amounts on deposit in the Class C Cash Collateral Account on such
         date), the Required Amount (with respect to the Class C Liquidity
         Facility) will be on deposit in the Class C Cash Collateral Account
         and shall first, pay such amount to the Class C Liquidity Provider
         until the Liquidity Obligations (with respect to the Class C
         Certificates) shall have been paid in full, and second, deposit any
         remaining amount in the Collection Account;

                    (v)   if a Replacement Liquidity Facility for any Class of
         Certificates shall be delivered to the Subordination Agent following
         the date on which funds have been deposited into the Cash Collateral
         Account for such Class of Certificates, the Subordination Agent shall
         withdraw all amounts on deposit in such Cash Collateral Account and
         shall pay such amounts to each replaced Liquidity Provider pari passu
         until all Liquidity Obligations owed to such Person shall have been
         paid in full, and shall deposit any remaining amount in the
         Collection Account; and

                    (vi)  following the payment of Final Distributions with
         respect to any Class of Certificates, on the date on which the
         Subordination Agent shall have been notified by the Liquidity
         Provider for such Class of Certificates that the Liquidity
         Obligations owed to such Liquidity Provider have been paid in full,
         the Subordination Agent shall withdraw all amounts on deposit in the
         Cash Collateral Account in respect of such Class of Certificates and
         shall deposit such amount in the Collection Account.

                 (g)  Reinstatement.  With respect to any Interest Drawing
under the Liquidity Facility for any Trust, upon the reimbursement of the
applicable Liquidity Provider for all or any part of the amount of such
Interest Drawing, together with any accrued interest thereon, the Available
Amount of such Liquidity Facility shall be reinstated by an amount equal to
the amount so reimbursed to the applicable Liquidity Provider, but not to
exceed the Required Amount for such Liquidity Facility; provided, however,
that such Liquidity Facility shall not be so reinstated in part or in full at
any time if (x) both (i) a Triggering Event shall have occurred and (ii) a
Performing Note Deficiency exists or (y) a Final Drawing shall have occurred
and be continuing under such Liquidity Facility.  In the event that at any
time prior to both the occurrence of a Triggering Event and the existence of
a Performing Note Deficiency funds are withdrawn from any Cash Collateral
Account pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 3.6(f) hereof, then
funds received by the Subordination Agent prior to both the occurrence of a
Triggering Event and the existence of a Performing Note Deficiency shall be



<PAGE>

deposited in such Cash Collateral Account as provided in clause "third" of
Section 2.4(b), clause "third" of Section 3.2 or clause "fourth" of
Section 3.3, as applicable, and applied in accordance with Section 3.6(f)
hereof.

                 (h)  Reimbursement.  The amount of each drawing under the
Liquidity Facilities shall be due and payable, together with interest
thereon, on the dates and at the rates, respectively, provided in the
Liquidity Facilities.

                 (i)  Final Drawing.  If any action is required under a
Liquidity Facility to be taken by the Subordination Agent in order to make a
Final Drawing thereunder, the Subordination Agent shall not fail to take such
action.  Upon receipt of the proceeds of a Final Drawing under the related
Liquidity Facility, the Subordination Agent shall maintain and invest such
proceeds in accordance with Section 3.6(f) hereof.

                 (j)  Reduction of Stated Amount.  Promptly following each
date on which the Required Amount of the Liquidity Facility for a Class of
Certificates is reduced as a result of a distribution to the
Certificateholders of such Class of Certificates, the Subordination Agent
shall, if such Liquidity Facility provides for reductions of the Stated
Amount of such Liquidity Facility and if such reductions are not automatic,
request the Liquidity Provider for such Class of Certificates to reduce such
Stated Amount to an amount equal to the Required Amount with respect to such
Liquidity Facility (as calculated by the Subordination Agent after giving
effect to such payment).  Each such request shall be made in accordance with
the provisions of the applicable Liquidity Facility.

                 (k)  Relation to Subordination Provisions.  Interest
Drawings under the Liquidity Facilities and withdrawals from the Cash
Collateral Accounts, in each case, in respect of interest on the Certificates
of any Class, will be distributed to the Trustee for such Class of
Certificates, notwithstanding Sections 3.2, 3.3 and 3.6(h) hereof.

                 SECTION 3.7  The Policy.  (a) Interest Drawings.  If on any
Regular Distribution Date (other than the Final Legal Distribution Date)
after giving effect to the application of available funds in accordance with
the priorities specified in Section 2.4 and Article III, and taking into
account the application of any amounts received by the Escrow Agent in the
Class G Paying Agent Account in respect of accrued interest on the Class G
Deposits, any Drawing paid under the Class G Liquidity Facility in respect of
such interest and any withdrawal of funds from the Class G Cash Collateral
Account in respect of such interest, the Subordination Agent (or in the case
of the Escrow Receipts, the Paying Agent) does not then have sufficient funds
available for the payment of all amounts due and owing in respect of accrued
and unpaid interest on the Class G Certificates or any Deposit relating to



<PAGE>

the Escrow Receipts, in each case at the Stated Interest Rate for the Class G
Certificates on such Distribution Date ("Accrued Class G Interest"), then,
prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Distribution Date, the
Subordination Agent (i) shall deliver a Notice of Nonpayment, as provided in
the Policy to the Policy Provider or its fiscal agent, requesting a Policy
Drawing under the Policy (for payment into the Policy Account) in an amount
sufficient to enable the Subordination Agent to pay such Accrued Class G
Interest and (ii) shall pay such amount from the Policy Account to the Class
G Trustee or the Escrow Agent for the Class G Trust for deposit into the
Class G Paying Agent Account, as the case may be, in payment of such Accrued
Class G Interest on such Distribution Date.

                 (b)      Proceeds Deficiency Drawing.  If on any Special
Distribution Date (other than an Election Distribution Date or a Special
Distribution Date established pursuant to clause (ii) of the third paragraph
of Section 3.7(c)) established by the Subordination Agent by reason of its
receipt of a Special Payment (a "Disposition Payment") constituting the
proceeds of any Series G Equipment Note or related Trust Indenture Estate or
Collateral, as the case may be, there exists a shortfall in the amounts
available to the Subordination Agent (after giving effect to the application
of available funds in accordance with the priorities specified in Section 2.4
and Article III, and taking into account the application of any amounts
received by the Escrow Agent in the Class G Paying Agent Account in respect
of accrued interest on the Class G Deposits, any Drawing paid under the Class
G Liquidity Facility in respect of such interest, any withdrawal of funds in
the Class G Cash Collateral Account in respect of such interest and the
amount of such Special Payment) required to reduce the outstanding Pool
Balance of the Class G Certificates by an amount equal to the outstanding
principal amount of the applicable Series G Equipment Note (determined
immediately prior to the receipt of such Disposition Payment) plus accrued
and unpaid interest on the amount of such reduction accrued at the Stated
Interest Rate for the Class G Certificates for the period from the
immediately preceding Regular Distribution Date to such Special Distribution
Date, then, prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Special
Distribution Date, the Subordination Agent (x) shall deliver a Notice of
Nonpayment, as provided in the Policy (for payment into the Policy Account)
in an amount equal to the amount of such shortfall and (y) shall pay such
amount from the Policy Account to the Class G Trustee in payment of such
reduction in the outstanding Pool Balance of the Class G Certificates plus
such accrued and unpaid interest on such Special Distribution Date.

                 (c)      No Proceeds Drawing.  On the first Business Day that
is 18 months after the last date on which full payment was made on any Series
G Equipment Note (a "Defaulted Series G Equipment Note") as to which there
has subsequently been a failure to pay principal or that has subsequently
been accelerated, if the Subordination Agent has not theretofore made a
drawing under the Policy pursuant to Section 3.7(b), the Subordination Agent



<PAGE>

shall deliver a Notice of Nonpayment, as provided in the Policy, to the
Policy Provider or its fiscal agent, requesting a Policy Drawing under the
Policy (for payment into the Policy Account) in an amount equal to the then
outstanding principal amount of such Defaulted Series G Equipment Note plus
accrued and unpaid interest thereon from the immediately preceding Regular
Distribution Date.  The Subordination Agent shall promptly, but not less than
25 days prior to the such Business Day, send to the Class G Trustee and the
Class C Trustee, the Liquidity Provider for the Class G Liquidity Facility
and the Policy Provider a Written Notice establishing such Business Day as
the date for the distribution of the proceeds of such Policy Drawing, which
date shall constitute a Special Distribution Date.  No later than 1:00 p.m.
(New York City time) on the specified Special Distribution Date the
Subordination Agent shall make the specified Policy Drawing and upon its
receipt of the proceeds thereof pay the amount thereof from the Policy
Account to the Class G Trustee in reduction of the outstanding Pool Balance
of the Class G Certificates together with such accrued and unpaid interest
thereon.  For the avoidance of doubt, after the payment in full of such
amount under this Section 3.7(c), the Subordination Agent shall have no right
to make any further Policy Drawings under Section 3.7(c) in respect of such
Defaulted Series G Equipment Note except for a drawing under Section 3.7(e).

                 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Policy Provider has the
right at the end of any such 18-month period, so long as no Policy Provider
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to elect (the "Policy Provider
Election") instead to pay (a) on such Special Distribution Date an amount
equal to the scheduled principal and interest that came due on such Defaulted
Series G Equipment Note (without regard to the acceleration thereof) but was
not paid during such 18-month period (after giving effect to the application
of funds received from the Class G Liquidity Facility and the Class G Cash
Collateral Account, in each case attributable to such interest) and (b)
thereafter, on each Regular Distribution Date, an amount equal to the
scheduled principal and interest that were to become due on such Defaulted
Series G Equipment Note on the related payment date (without regard to any
acceleration thereof) until the establishment of an Election Distribution
Date or a Special Distribution Date.  Following a Policy Provider Election
with respect to a Defaulted Series G Equipment Note, on any Business Day
(which shall be a Special Distribution Date; each, an "Election Distribution
Date") elected by the Policy Provider upon 20 days' Written Notice to the
Subordination Agent and the Class G Trustee, the Policy Provider may,
notwithstanding the Policy Provider Election, request the Subordination Agent
to, and the Subordination Agent shall, make a Policy Drawing for an amount
equal to the then outstanding principal balance of such Defaulted Series G
Equipment Note (less any Policy Drawings previously paid by the Policy
Provider in respect of principal of such Defaulted Series G Equipment Note)
and accrued and unpaid interest on such amounts at the Stated Interest Rate
for the Class G Certificates from the previous Regular Distribution Date to
such Election Distribution Date.



<PAGE>

                 Further, following a Policy Provider Election with respect
to a Defaulted Series G Equipment Note, upon either (i) the occurrence and
continuance of a Policy Provider Default or (ii) the  receipt by the
Subordination Agent of a Special Payment constituting the Disposition Payment
in respect of such Defaulted Series G Equipment Note or related Trust
Indenture Estate or Collateral, as the case may be, then the Subordination
Agent shall on any Business Day (which shall be a Special Distribution Date)
elected by the Subordination Agent upon 20 days' Written Notice to the Class
G Trustee and the Policy Provider, make a Policy Drawing for an amount equal
to the then outstanding principal balance of such Defaulted Series G
Equipment Note (less any Policy Drawings previously paid by the Policy
Provider in respect of principal of such Equipment Note) and accrued and
unpaid interest on such amounts at the Stated Interest Rate for the Class G
Certificates from the immediately preceding Regular Distribution Date to such
Special Distribution Date. The Subordination Agent shall make each such
drawing referred to in this subparagraph (c) under the Policy (for payment
into the Policy Account) no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the
relevant Special Distribution Date and upon its receipt of the proceeds
thereof pay the amount thereof from the Policy Account to the Class G Trustee
in reduction of the outstanding Pool Balance of the Class G Certificates
together with such accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

                 In addition, regardless of whether or not the Policy
Provider makes a Policy Provider Election, the Policy Provider shall, at the
end of the first occurring 18-month period described in Section 3.7(c),
endorse the Policy (if not already endorsed to so provide) to provide for the
payment to the Class G Liquidity Provider and the Class C Liquidity Provider
of interest accruing on the outstanding drawings in respect of the Class G
Liquidity Facility and Class C Liquidity Facility from and after the end of
such 18-month period as and when such interest becomes due in accordance with
such Liquidity Facilities.

                 (d)      Final Policy Drawing.  If on the Final Legal
Distribution Date of the Class G Certificates after giving effect to the
application of available funds in accordance with the priorities specified in
Section 2.4 and Article III, and taking into account the application of any
amounts received by the Escrow Agent in the Class G Paying Agent Account in
respect of accrued interest on the Class G Deposits, any Drawing paid under
the Class G Liquidity Facility in respect of interest included in the Final
Distribution and any withdrawal of funds in the Class G Cash Collateral
Account in respect of interest included in the Final Distribution, the
Subordination Agent does not then have sufficient funds available on such
date for the payment in full of the Final Distribution (calculated as at such
date but excluding any accrued and unpaid premium) on the Class G
Certificates then, prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such date the
Subordination Agent shall:  (i) deliver a Notice of Nonpayment, as provided
in the Policy, to the Policy Provider or its fiscal agent, requesting a



<PAGE>

Policy Drawing under the Policy (for payment into the Policy Account) in an
amount equal to the minimum amount sufficient to enable the Subordination
Agent to pay the Final Distribution (calculated as at such date but excluding
any accrued and unpaid premium) on the Class G Certificates, and (ii) shall
pay such amount from the Policy Account to the Class G Trustee in payment of
such amount on such date.

                 If on the Final Withdrawal Date (as defined in the Escrow
and Paying Agent Agreement for the Class G Trust) the full amount of the
Class G Deposit has not been used to purchase the Class G Equipment Notes and
there is a shortfall in the amount available to the Paying Agent for the
payment in full of the unpaid principal amount of the Escrow Receipts then,
prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such date, the Subordination Agent
shall:  (i) deliver a Notice of Nonpayment, as provided in the Policy, to the
Policy Provider or its fiscal agent, requesting a Policy Drawing under the
Policy (for payment into the Policy Account) in an amount equal to the amount
of such shortfall and (ii) shall pay such amount from the Policy Account to
the Paying Agent for the Class G Trust in payment of such amount on such
date.

                 (e)      Avoidance Drawings.  If at any time the
Subordination Agent shall have actual knowledge of the issuance of any Final
Order, the Subordination Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to each
Trustee, the Liquidity Providers and the Policy Provider.  The Subordination
Agent shall thereupon calculate the relevant Avoided Payments resulting
therefrom and shall promptly:  (a) send to the Class G Trustee a Written
Notice of such amount and (b) deliver to the Policy Provider or its fiscal
agent, a Notice of Avoided Payment, together with a copy of the documentation
required by the Policy with respect thereto, requesting a Policy Drawing (for
payment to the receiver, conservator, debtor-in-possession or trustee in
bankruptcy and/or to the Subordination Agent for deposit into the Policy
Account) in an amount equal to the amount of relevant Avoided Payment.  Such
Written Notice shall also set the date for the distribution of the proceeds
of such Policy Drawing which date shall constitute a Special Distribution
Date and shall be the earlier of the third Business Day that immediately
precedes the expiration of the Policy and the Business Day that immediately
follows the 25th day after the date of such Written Notice.  No later than
1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the specified Special Distribution Date,
the Subordination Agent shall make the specified Policy Drawing and upon its
receipt of the proceeds thereof, pay the amount thereof from the Policy
Account to the Class G Trustee in reinstatement of the Avoided Payment.

                 (f)      Application of Policy Drawings.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (including, without
limitation, Sections 2.4, 3.2 and 3.3 hereof), all payments received by the
Subordination Agent in respect of a Policy Drawing shall be promptly paid
from the Policy Account to the Class G Trustee for distribution to the Class



<PAGE>

G Certificateholders or the holders of the Escrow Receipts, as the case may
be.

                 (g)      Reduction of Outstanding Pool Balance.  Promptly
following each date on which the Pool Balance of the Class G Certificates is
reduced as a result of a payment under this Agreement, the Subordination
Agent shall inform the Policy Provider of such reduction.  Anything contained
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) no Policy Drawing for payment in
respect of the Class G Certificates under clause (a) of this Section 3.7
shall be in excess of Accrued Class G Interest and (ii) no Policy Drawing
under clauses (b)-(d) of this Section 3.7 shall be for an amount in excess of
the outstanding Pool Balance of the Class G Certificates plus accrued and
unpaid interest thereon at the Stated Interest Rate for the Class G
Certificates.  Nothing contained in this Intercreditor Agreement shall be
deemed to alter or amend the liabilities, obligations, requirements or
procedures of the Policy Provider under the Policy and the Policy Provider
shall not be obligated to make payment except at the times and in the amounts
and under the circumstances expressly set forth in the Policy.

                 (h)      Resubmission of Notice for Payment. If the Policy
Provider at any time informs the Subordination Agent in accordance with the
Policy that a Notice of Nonpayment or Notice of Avoided Payment submitted by
the Subordination Agent does not satisfy the requirements of the Policy, the
Subordination Agent shall, as promptly as possible after being so informed,
submit to the Policy Provider an amended and revised Notice of Nonpayment or
Notice of Avoided Payment, as the case may be, and shall pay to the Class G
Trustee out of the Policy Account the amount received pursuant to such
amended or revised Notice of Nonpayment or Notice of Avoided Payment, as the
case may be, when received.

                 (i)      Subrogation.  The Policy Provider will be subrogated
to all of the rights of the holders of the Class G Certificates to payment on
the Class G Certificates to the extent of the payments made under the Policy
as set forth herein.


                                  ARTICLE IV

                             EXERCISE OF REMEDIES

                 SECTION 4.1  Directions from the Controlling Party.  (a)
(i)  Following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Indenture
Default under any Indenture, the Controlling Party shall direct the Loan
Trustee under such Indenture in the exercise of remedies available to the
holders of the Equipment Notes issued pursuant to such Indenture, including,
without limitation, the ability to vote all such Equipment Notes in favor of
declaring all of the unpaid principal amount of such Equipment Notes and



<PAGE>

accrued and unpaid interest thereon to be due and payable under, and in
accordance with, the provisions of such Indenture.  Subject to the Owner
Trustees  and the Owner Participants  rights, if any, set forth in the
Indentures with respect to Leased Aircraft to purchase the Equipment Notes,
if the Equipment Notes issued pursuant to any Indenture have been Accelerated
following an Indenture Default with respect thereto, the Controlling Party
may sell, assign, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver all
(but not less than all) of such Equipment Notes to any Person at public or
private sale, at any location at the option of the Controlling Party, all
upon such terms and conditions as it may reasonably deem advisable in
accordance with applicable law.

                    (ii)  Subject to the Owner Trustees' and the Owner
Participants' rights set forth in the Indentures with respect to Leased
Aircraft to purchase the Equipment Notes, and notwithstanding the foregoing,
so long as any Certificates remain Outstanding, during the period ending on
the date which is nine months after the earlier of (x) the Acceleration of
the Equipment Notes issued pursuant to any Indenture or (y) the occurrence of
a Northwest Bankruptcy Event, without the consent of each Trustee, (A) no
Aircraft subject to the Lien of such Indenture or such Equipment Notes may be
sold if the net proceeds from such sale would be less than the Minimum Sale
Price for such Aircraft or such Equipment Notes, and (B) with respect to any
Leased Aircraft, the amount and payment dates of rentals payable by Northwest
under the Lease for such Aircraft may not be adjusted, if, as a result of
such adjustment, the discounted present value of all such rentals would be
less than 75% of the discounted present value of the rentals payable by
Northwest under such Lease before giving effect to such adjustment, in each
case, using the weighted average interest rate of the Equipment Notes issued
pursuant to such Indenture as the discount rate.

                   (iii)  At the request of the Controlling Party, the
Subordination Agent may from time to time during the continuance of an
Indenture Default (and before the occurrence of a Triggering Event)
commission LTV Appraisals with respect to the related Aircraft.

                    (iv)  After a Triggering Event occurs and any Equipment
Note becomes a Non-Performing Equipment Note, the Subordination Agent shall
obtain LTV Appraisals for the Aircraft as soon as practicable and additional
LTV Appraisals on or prior to each anniversary of the date of such initial
LTV Appraisals; provided that, if the Controlling Party reasonably objects to
the appraised value of the Aircraft shown in any such LTV Appraisals, the
Controlling Party shall have the right to obtain or cause to be obtained at
its expense substitute LTV Appraisals (including any LTV Appraisals based
upon physical inspection of the Aircraft).

                 (b)  The Controlling Party shall take such actions as it may
reasonably deem most effectual to complete the sale or other disposition of



<PAGE>

such Aircraft or Equipment Notes.  In addition, in lieu of any sale,
assignment, contract to sell or other disposition, the Subordination Agent,
on behalf of the Controlling Party, may maintain possession of such Equipment
Notes and continue to apply monies received in respect of such Equipment
Notes in accordance with Article III hereof.  In addition, in lieu of such
sale, assignment, contract to sell or other disposition, or in lieu of such
maintenance of possession, the Controlling Party may instruct the Loan
Trustee under such Indenture to foreclose on the Lien on the related Aircraft
or to take any other remedial action permitted under such Indenture or
applicable law.

                 SECTION 4.2  Remedies Cumulative.  Each and every right,
power and remedy given to the Trustees, the Liquidity Providers, the Policy
Provider, the Controlling Party or the Subordination Agent specifically or
otherwise in this Agreement shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to
every other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or
hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and every right,
power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may,
subject always to the terms and conditions hereof, be exercised from time to
time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by any
Trustee, any Liquidity Provider, the Policy Provider, the Controlling Party
or the Subordination Agent, as appropriate, and the exercise or the beginning
of the exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver
of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right,
power or remedy.  No delay or omission by any Trustee, any Liquidity
Provider, the Policy Provider, the Controlling Party or the Subordination
Agent in the exercise of any right, remedy or power or in the pursuit of any
remedy shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a
waiver of any default or to be an acquiescence therein.

                 SECTION 4.3  Discontinuance of Proceedings.  In case any
party to this Agreement (including the Controlling Party in such capacity)
shall have instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy
under this Agreement by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such Proceedings
shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been
determined adversely to the Person instituting such Proceeding, then and in
every such case each such party shall, subject to any determination in such
proceedings, be restored to its former position and rights hereunder, and all
rights, remedies and powers of such party shall continue as if no such
Proceedings had been instituted.

                 SECTION 4.4  Right of Certificateholders to Receive Payments
Not to Be Impaired.  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding but subject to each Trust Agreement, the right of any
Certificateholder or Liquidity Provider or the Policy Provider, respectively,
to receive payments pursuant to Section 2.4, 3.2 or 3.3 hereof when due, or
to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the



<PAGE>

applicable Distribution Date, shall not be impaired or affected without the
consent of such Certificateholder, such Liquidity Provider or the Policy
Provider, respectively.

                 SECTION 4.5  Undertaking for Costs.  In any suit for the
enforcement of any right or remedy under this Agreement or in any suit
against any Controlling Party or the Subordination Agent for any action taken
or omitted by it as Controlling Party or Subordination Agent, as the case may
be, 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
and expenses, 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.  The provisions of this Section do not apply to a suit instituted
by the Subordination Agent, a Liquidity Provider, the Policy Provider or a
Trustee or a suit by Certificateholders holding more than 10% of the original
principal amount of any Class of Certificates.


                                   ARTICLE V

                      DUTIES OF THE SUBORDINATION AGENT;
                         AGREEMENTS OF TRUSTEES, ETC.

                 SECTION 5.1  Notice of Indenture Default or Triggering
Event.  (a)  In the event the Subordination Agent shall have actual knowledge
of the occurrence of an Indenture Default or a Triggering Event, as promptly
as practicable, and in any event within 10 days after obtaining knowledge
thereof, the Subordination Agent shall transmit by mail to the Rating
Agencies, the Liquidity Providers, the Policy Provider and the Trustees
notice of such Indenture Default or Triggering Event, unless such Indenture
Default or Triggering Event shall have been cured or waived.  For all
purposes of this Agreement, in the absence of actual knowledge on the part of
a Responsible Officer, the Subordination Agent shall not be deemed to have
knowledge of any Indenture Default or Triggering Event unless notified in
writing by one or more Trustees, one or more Liquidity Providers, the Policy
Provider or one or more Certificateholders.

                 (b)  Other Notices.  The Subordination Agent will furnish to
each Liquidity Provider, the Policy Provider and Trustee, promptly upon
receipt thereof, duplicates or copies of all reports, notices, requests,
demands, certificates, financial statements and other instruments furnished
to the Subordination Agent as registered holder of the Equipment Notes or
otherwise in its capacity as Subordination Agent to the extent the same shall
not have been otherwise directly distributed to such Liquidity Provider, the
Policy Provider or Trustee, as applicable, pursuant to the express provision
of any other Operative Agreement.



<PAGE>

                 SECTION 5.2  Indemnification.  The Subordination Agent shall
not be required to take any action or refrain from taking any action under
Section 5.1 (other than the first sentence thereof) or Article IV hereof
unless the Subordination Agent shall have been indemnified (to the extent and
in the manner reasonably satisfactory to the Subordination Agent) against any
liability, cost or expense (including counsel fees and expenses) which may be
incurred in connection therewith.  The Subordination Agent shall not be under
any obligation to take any action under this Agreement and nothing contained
in this Agreement shall require the Subordination Agent to expend or risk its
own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of
any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers
if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such
funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably
assured to it.  The Subordination Agent shall not be required to take any
action under Section 5.1 (other than the first sentence thereof) or Article
IV hereof, nor shall any other provision of this Agreement be deemed to
impose a duty on the Subordination Agent to take any action, if the
Subordination Agent shall have been advised by counsel that such action is
contrary to the terms hereof or is otherwise contrary to law.

                 SECTION 5.3  No Duties Except as Specified in Intercreditor
Agreement.  The Subordination Agent shall not have any duty or obligation to
take or refrain from taking any action under, or in connection with, this
Agreement, except as expressly provided by the terms of this Agreement; and
no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against
the Subordination Agent.  The Subordination Agent agrees that it will, in its
individual capacity and at its own cost and expense (but without any right of
indemnity in respect of any such cost or expense under Section 7.1 hereof)
promptly take such action as may be necessary to duly discharge all Liens on
any of the Trust Accounts or any monies deposited therein which result from
claims against it in its individual capacity not related to its activities
hereunder or from a breach of its obligations that constitute willful
misconduct or gross negligence hereunder or any other Operative Agreement.

                 SECTION 5.4  Notice from the Liquidity Providers and
Trustees.  If a Responsible Officer of any Liquidity Provider, the Policy
Provider or any Trustee has actual notice of an Indenture Default or a
Triggering Event, such Person shall promptly use its best efforts give notice
thereof to all other Liquidity Providers and Trustees and to the Policy
Provider and to the Subordination Agent, provided, however, that no such
Person shall have any liability hereunder as a result of its failure to
deliver any such notice.

                                  ARTICLE VI

                            THE SUBORDINATION AGENT

                 SECTION 6.1  Authorization; Acceptance of Trusts and Duties.
Each of the Class G Trustee and Class C Trustee hereby designates and
appoints the Subordination Agent as the agent and trustee of such Trustee
under the applicable Liquidity Facility and authorizes the Subordination
Agent to enter into the applicable Liquidity Facility as agent and trustee
for such Trustee.  Each of the Liquidity Providers, the Trustees and the
Policy Provider hereby designates and appoints the Subordination Agent as the
Subordination Agent under this Agreement.

                 The Subordination Agent hereby accepts the duties hereby
created and applicable to it as the Subordination Agent and agrees to perform
the same but only upon the terms of this Agreement and agrees to receive and
disburse all monies received by it in accordance with the terms hereof.  The
Subordination Agent shall not be answerable or accountable under any
circumstances, except (a) for its own willful misconduct or gross negligence
or, with respect to the handling or transfer of funds, ordinary negligence,
(b) as provided in Section 2.2 hereof and (c) for liabilities that may result
from the material inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of the
Subordination Agent made in its individual capacity in any Operative
Agreement.  The Subordination Agent shall not be liable for any error of
judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Subordination
Agent, unless it is proved that the Subordination Agent was negligent in
ascertaining the pertinent facts.

                 SECTION 6.2  Absence of Duties.  The Subordination Agent
shall have no duty to see to any recording or filing of this Agreement or any
other document, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing.

                 SECTION 6.3  No Representations or Warranties as to
Documents.  The Subordination Agent in its individual capacity does not make
nor shall be deemed to have made any representation or warranty as to the
validity, legality or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Operative
Agreement or as to the correctness of any statement contained in any thereof,
except for the representations and warranties of the Subordination Agent,
made in its individual capacity, under any Operative Agreement to which it is
a party.  The Certificateholders, the Trustees and the Liquidity Providers
make no representation or warranty hereunder whatsoever.

                 SECTION 6.4  No Segregation of Monies; No Interest.  Any
monies paid to or retained by the Subordination Agent pursuant to any
provision hereof and not then required to be distributed to any Trustee, the
Policy Provider or any Liquidity Provider as provided in Articles II and III



<PAGE>

hereof need not be segregated in any manner except to the extent required by
such Articles II and III and by law, and the Subordination Agent shall not
(except as otherwise provided in Section 2.2 hereof) be liable for any
interest thereon; provided, however, that any payments received or applied
hereunder by the Subordination Agent shall be accounted for by the
Subordination Agent so that any portion thereof paid or applied pursuant
hereto shall be identifiable as to the source thereof.

                 SECTION 6.5  Reliance; Agents; Advice of Counsel.  The
Subordination Agent shall not incur liability to anyone in acting upon any
signature, instrument, notice, resolution, request, consent, order,
certificate, report, opinion, bond or other document or paper believed by it
to be genuine and believed by it to be signed by the proper party or parties.
As to the Pool Balance of any Trust as of any date, the Subordination Agent
may for all purposes hereof rely on a certificate signed by any Responsible
Officer of the applicable Trustee, and such certificate shall constitute full
protection to the Subordination Agent for any action taken or omitted to be
taken by it in good faith in reliance thereon.  As to any fact or matter
relating to the Liquidity Providers, the Policy Provider or the Trustees the
manner of ascertainment of which is not specifically described herein, the
Subordination Agent may for all purposes hereof rely on a certificate, signed
by any Responsible Officer of the applicable Liquidity Provider or Trustee or
the Policy Provider, as the case may be, as to such fact or matter, and such
certificate shall constitute full protection to the Subordination Agent for
any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in reliance
thereon.  The Subordination Agent shall assume, and shall be fully protected
in assuming, that each of the Liquidity Providers, the Policy Provider and
each of the Trustees are authorized to enter into this Agreement and to take
all action to be taken by them pursuant to the provisions hereof, and shall
not inquire into the authorization of each of the Liquidity Providers and
each of the Trustees with respect thereto.  In the administration of the
trusts hereunder, the Subordination Agent may execute any of the trusts or
powers hereof and perform its powers and duties hereunder directly or through
agents or attorneys and may consult with counsel, accountants and other
skilled persons to be selected and retained by it, and the Subordination
Agent shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of any agent appointed
with due care or for anything done, suffered or omitted in good faith by it
in accordance with the advice or written opinion of any such counsel,
accountants or other skilled persons.

                 SECTION 6.6  Capacity in Which Acting.  The Subordination
Agent acts hereunder solely as agent and trustee herein and not in its
individual capacity, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Operative
Agreements.

                 SECTION 6.7  Compensation.  The Subordination Agent shall be
entitled to reasonable compensation, including expenses and disbursements,



<PAGE>

for all services rendered hereunder and shall have a priority claim to the
extent set forth in Article III hereof on all monies collected hereunder for
the payment of such compensation, to the extent that such compensation shall
not be paid by others.  The Subordination Agent agrees that it shall have no
right against any Trustee or Liquidity Provider or the Policy Provider for
any fee as compensation for its services as agent under this Agreement.  The
provisions of this Section 6.7 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement.

                 SECTION 6.8  May Become Certificateholder.  The institution
acting as Subordination Agent hereunder may become a Certificateholder and
have all rights and benefits of a Certificateholder to the same extent as if
it were not the institution acting as the Subordination Agent.

                 SECTION 6.9  Subordination Agent Required; Eligibility.
There shall at all times be a Subordination Agent hereunder which shall be a
corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States
of America or of any State or the District of Columbia having a combined
capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 (or the obligations of which,
whether now in existence or hereafter incurred, are fully and unconditionally
guaranteed by a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of
the United States, any State thereof or of the District of Columbia and
having a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000), if there is
such an institution willing and able to perform the duties of the
Subordination Agent hereunder upon reasonable or customary terms.  Such
corporation shall be a citizen of the United States and shall be authorized
under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or of the District
of Columbia to exercise corporate trust powers and shall be subject to
supervision or examination by federal, state or District of Columbia
authorities.  If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least
annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of any of the aforesaid
supervising or examining authorities, then, for the purposes of this Section
6.9, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to
be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of
condition so published.

                 In case at any time the Subordination Agent shall cease to
be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the
Subordination Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the
effect specified in Section 8.1.

                 SECTION 6.10  Money to Be Held in Trust.  All Equipment
Notes, monies and other property deposited with or held by the Subordination
Agent pursuant to this Agreement shall be held in trust for the benefit of
the parties entitled to such Equipment Notes, monies and other property.  All
such Equipment Notes, monies or other property shall be held in the Trust
Department of the institution acting as Subordination Agent hereunder.

                                 ARTICLE VIII

                         SUCCESSOR SUBORDINATION AGENT

                 SECTION 8.1  Replacement of Subordination Agent; Appointment
of Successor.  The Subordination Agent may resign at any time by so notifying
the Trustees and the Liquidity Providers.  The Liquidity Provider or the
Controlling Party may remove the Subordination Agent for cause by so
notifying the Subordination Agent and may appoint a successor Subordination
Agent.  The Controlling Party shall remove the Subordination Agent if:

                 (1)  the Subordination Agent fails to comply with Section
         6.9 hereof;

                 (2)  the Subordination Agent is adjudged bankrupt or
         insolvent;

                 (3)  a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the
         Subordination Agent or its property; or

                 (4)  the Subordination Agent otherwise becomes incapable of
         acting.

                 If the Subordination Agent resigns or is removed or if a
vacancy exists in the office of Subordination Agent for any reason (the
Subordination Agent in such event being referred to herein as the retiring
Subordination Agent), the Controlling Party in consultation with Northwest
shall promptly appoint a successor Subordination Agent.

                 Any corporation into which the Subordination Agent may be
merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the
Subordination Agent shall be a party, or any corporation to which
substantially all the corporate trust business of the Subordination Agent may
be transferred, shall, subject to the terms of Section 6.9 hereof, be the



<PAGE>

Subordination Agent hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements to
which the Subordination Agent is a party without further act, except that
such Person shall give prompt subsequent notice of such transaction to the
Liquidity Provider and each Trustee.

                 A successor Subordination Agent shall deliver a written
acceptance of its appointment as Subordination Agent hereunder to the
retiring Subordination Agent, upon which the resignation or removal of the
retiring Subordination Agent shall become effective, and the successor
Subordination Agent shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the
Subordination Agent under this Agreement.  The successor Subordination Agent
shall send a written notice of its succession to the Liquidity Providers, the
Policy Provider and the Trustees.  The retiring Subordination Agent shall
promptly transfer its rights under each of the Liquidity Facilities, the
Policy and all of the property held by it as Subordination Agent to the
successor Subordination Agent.

                 If a successor Subordination Agent does not take office
within 60 days after the retiring Subordination Agent resigns or is removed,
the retiring Subordination Agent or one or more of the Trustees may petition
any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Subordination Agent.

                 If the Subordination Agent fails to comply with Section 6.9
hereof (to the extent applicable), one or more of the Trustees or one or more
of the Liquidity Providers, the Policy Provider or Northwest may petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Subordination Agent
and the appointment of a successor Subordination Agent.

                 Notwithstanding the foregoing, no resignation or removal of
the Subordination Agent shall be effective unless and until a successor has
been appointed.  No appointment of a successor Subordination Agent shall be
effective unless and until the Rating Agencies shall have delivered a Ratings
Confirmation.



                                  ARTICLE IX

                          SUPPLEMENTS AND AMENDMENTS

                 SECTION 9.1  Amendments, Waivers, Etc.  (a) This Agreement
may not be supplemented, amended or modified without the consent of each
Trustee (acting, except in the case of any amendment pursuant to Section 9.5
hereof, with the consent of holders of Certificates of the related Class
evidencing interests in the related Trust aggregating not less than a
majority in interest in such Trust or as otherwise authorized pursuant to the



<PAGE>

relevant Trust Agreement), the Subordination Agent, the Policy Provider and
each Liquidity Provider; provided, however, that this Agreement may be
supplemented, amended or modified without the consent of any Trustee if such
supplement, amendment or modification cures an ambiguity or inconsistency or
does not materially adversely affect such Trustee or the holders of the
related Class of Certificates; provided further, however, that, if such
supplement, amendment or modification would (x) directly or indirectly modify
or supersede, or otherwise conflict with, Section 2.2(b), Section 3.6(e),
Section 3.6(f)(other than the last sentence thereof) (collectively, together
with this proviso and Section 9.1, the "Northwest Provisions") or (y)
otherwise adversely affect the interests of a potential Replacement Liquidity
Provider or of Northwest with respect to its ability to replace any Liquidity
Facility or with respect to its payment obligations under any Financing
Agreement, Leased Aircraft Indenture or Owned Aircraft Indenture, then such
supplement, amendment or modification shall not be effective without the
additional written consent of Northwest.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
without the consent of each Certificateholder, the Policy Provider and each
Liquidity Provider, no supplement, amendment or modification of this
Agreement may (i) reduce the percentage of the interest in any Trust
evidenced by the Certificates issued by such Trust necessary to consent to
modify or amend any provision of this Agreement or to waive compliance
therewith or (ii) modify Section 2.4, 3.2 or 3.3 hereof, relating to the
distribution of monies received by the Subordination Agent hereunder from the
Equipment Notes or pursuant to the Liquidity Facilities or the Policy.
Nothing contained in this Section shall require the consent of a Trustee at
any time following the payment of Final Distributions with respect to the
related Class of Certificates.

                 (b) In the event that the Subordination Agent, as the
registered holder of any Equipment Notes, receives a request for its consent
to any amendment, modification, consent or waiver under such Equipment Notes,
the Indenture pursuant to which such Equipment Notes were issued, or the
related Lease, Participation Agreement or other related document, (i) if no
Indenture Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to such
Indenture, the Subordination Agent shall request directions with respect to
each Series of such Equipment Notes from the Trustee of the Trust which holds
such Equipment Notes, except that so long as the Final Distribution on the
Class G Certificates has not been made or any Policy Provider Obligations
remain outstanding and no Policy Provider Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Subordination Agent shall request directions from the Policy
Provider rather than the Class G Trustee with respect to the Class G
Equipment Notes held in the Class G Trust, and shall vote or consent in
accordance with the directions of such Trustee or the Policy Provider and
(ii) if any Indenture Default (which, in the case of any Indenture pertaining
to a Leased Aircraft, has not been cured by the applicable Owner Trustee or
the applicable Owner Participant, if applicable, pursuant to Section 4.03 of
such Indenture) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to such



<PAGE>

Indenture, the Subordination Agent will exercise its voting rights as
directed by the Controlling Party, subject to Sections 4.1 and 4.4 hereof;
provided that no such amendment, modification or waiver shall, without the
consent of each Liquidity Provider, the Policy Provider and the Class G
Certificateholders, reduce the amount of rent, supplemental rent or
stipulated loss values payable by Northwest under any Lease or reduce the
amount of principal or interest payable by Northwest under any Equipment Note
issued under any Indenture in respect of an Owned Aircraft.

                 SECTION 9.2  Subordination Agent Protected.  If, in the
reasonable opinion of the institution acting as the Subordination Agent
hereunder, any document required to be executed pursuant to the terms of
Section 9.1 affects any right, duty, immunity or indemnity with respect to it
under this Agreement, any Liquidity Facility or the Policy, the Subordination
Agent may in its discretion decline to execute such document.

                 SECTION 9.3  Effect of Supplemental Agreements.  Upon the
execution of any amendment or supplement hereto pursuant to the provisions
hereof, this Agreement shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in
accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitations of rights,
obligations, duties and immunities under this Agreement of the parties hereto
and beneficiaries hereof shall thereafter be determined, exercised and
enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and
amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental
agreement shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of
this Agreement for any and all purposes.  In executing or accepting any
supplemental agreement permitted by this Article IX, the Subordination Agent
shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon,
an opinion of counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental
agreement is authorized or permitted by this Agreement.

                 SECTION 9.4  Notice to Rating Agencies and the Policy
Provider.  Promptly following its receipt of each amendment, consent,
modification, supplement or waiver contemplated by this Article IX, the
Subordination Agent shall send a copy thereof to each Rating Agency and the
Policy Provider.

                 SECTION 9.5  Addition of Class D Trustee. If with respect to
any Aircraft Class D Certificates are issued, this Agreement shall be amended
by written agreement of Northwest and the Subordination Agent to provide for
the subordination of such Class D Certificates to the Class G Certificates
and the Class C Certificates substantially in the same manner as the Class C
Certificates are subordinated hereunder to the Class G Certificates.  No such
amendment shall materially adversely affect any Trustee, any Liquidity
Provider or the Policy Provider.  The amendment to this Agreement to give
effect to the issuance of any Class D Certificates shall include, without
limitation:



<PAGE>

                 (i)  the Class D Trust Trustee shall be added as a party to
         this Agreement; and

                 (ii)  the definitions of "Cash Collateral Account,"
         "Certificate," "Class," "Equipment Notes," "Final Legal Distribution
         Date," "Liquidity Facilities," "Liquidity Provider," "LTV Ratio,"
         "Stated Interest Rate," "Trust," "Trust Agreement" and "Controlling
         Party" shall be revised, as appropriate, to reflect the issuance of
         the Class D Certificates (and the subordination thereof); and

                 (iii) the provisions of this Agreement governing payments
         with respect to Certificates and related notices, including, without
         limitation, Sections 2.4, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.6(e), shall be revised
         to provide for distributions on the Class D Certificates after
         payment of all relevant distributions on the Class C Certificates.

If with respect to any Aircraft, Series D Equipment Notes are issued to any
Person other than the Class D Trust, this Agreement shall be amended by
written agreement of Northwest and the Subordination Agent to (i) provide for
each holder of a Series D Equipment Note to be bound by the provisions of
Section 2.6(a) hereof so that the Controlling Party shall be entitled to
direct the Loan Trustee as provided therein (and such Series D Equipment
Notes shall make effective provision therefor so as to bind each holder
thereof to such provisions of Section 2.6(a) hereof) and (ii) to revise the
definitions of "Controlling Party" and "Equipment Notes", as appropriate, to
reflect the issuance of the Series D Equipment Notes (and the prior rights,
as against the holders of such Series D Equipment Notes, of the Policy
Provider, the Class G Trustee and the Class C Trustee to be such "Controlling
Party").  No such amendment shall materially adversely affect any Trustee,
any Liquidity Provider or the Policy Provider.

Liquidity Providers and all Policy Provider Obligations to the Policy
Provider and provided that there shall then be no other amounts due to the
Certificateholders, the Trustees, the Liquidity Providers, the Subordination
Agent and the Policy Provider hereunder or under the Trust Agreements, and
that the commitment of (i) the Liquidity Providers under the Liquidity
Facilities and (ii) the Policy Provider under the Policy shall have expired

agreements contained herein shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit




<PAGE>

of, each of the parties hereto and the successors and assigns of each, all as
herein provided.

                 SECTION 10.7  Headings.  The headings of the various
Articles and Sections herein and in the table of contents hereto are for
convenience of reference only and shall not define or limit any of the terms
or provisions hereof.

                 SECTION 10.8  Counterpart Form.  This Agreement may be
executed by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when
so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts
shall together constitute but one and the same agreement.

                 SECTION 10.9  Subordination.  (a)  As between the Liquidity
Providers and the Policy Provider, on the one hand, and the Trustees and the
Certificateholders, on the other hand, and as between and among the
Certificateholders of all Classes of Certificates, this Agreement shall be a
subordination agreement for purposes of Section 510 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code, as amended from time to time.

                 (b)  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, if
prior to the payment in full to the (i) Liquidity Providers of all Liquidity
Obligations then due and payable and (ii) Policy Provider of all Policy
Provider Obligations then due and payable, any party hereto shall have
received any payment or distribution in respect of Equipment Notes or any
other amount under the Indentures or other Operative Agreements which, had
the subordination provisions of this Agreement been properly applied to such
payment, distribution or other amount, would not have been distributed to
such Person, then such payment, distribution or other amount shall be
received and held in trust by such Person and paid over or delivered to the
Subordination Agent for application as provided herein.

                 (c)  If any Trustee, any Liquidity Provider, the
Subordination Agent or the Policy Provider receives any payment in respect of
any obligations owing hereunder (or, in the case of the Liquidity Providers
or the Policy Provider, in respect of the Liquidity Obligations or the Policy
Provider Obligations, as the case may be), which is subsequently invalidated,
declared preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee,
receiver or other party, then, to the extent of such payment, such
obligations (or, in the case of the Liquidity Providers or the Policy
Provider, such Liquidity Obligations or the Policy Provider Obligations, as
the case may be) intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in
full force and effect as if such payment had not been received.

                 (d)  The Trustees (on behalf of themselves and the holders
of Certificates), the Liquidity Providers, the Subordination Agent and the
Policy Provider confirm that the payment priorities specified in Sections



<PAGE>

2.4, 3.2 and 3.3 shall apply in all circumstances, notwithstanding the fact
that the obligations owed to the Trustees and the holders of Certificates are
secured by certain assets and the Liquidity Obligations and Policy Provider
Obligations may not be so secured.  The Trustees expressly agree (on behalf
of themselves and the holders of Certificates) not to assert priority over
the holders of Liquidity Obligations or Policy Provider Obligations due to
their status as secured creditors in any bankruptcy, insolvency or other
legal proceeding.

                 (e)  Each of the Trustees (on behalf of themselves and the
holders of Certificates), the Liquidity Providers, the Policy Provider and
the Subordination Agent may take any of the following actions without
impairing its rights under this Agreement:

                    (i)   obtain a lien on any property to secure any amounts
         owing to it hereunder, including, in the case of the Liquidity
         Providers and the Policy Provider, the Liquidity Obligations or the
         Policy Provider Obligations, as the case may be,

                    (ii)  obtain the primary or secondary obligation of any
         other obligor with respect to any amounts owing to it hereunder,
         including, in the case of the Liquidity Providers and the Policy
         Provider, any of the Liquidity Obligations or the Policy Provider
         Obligations, as the case may be,

                   (iii)  renew, extend, increase, alter or exchange any
         amounts owing to it hereunder, including, in the case of the
         Liquidity Providers and the Policy Provider, any of the Liquidity
         Obligations or the Policy Provider Obligations, as the case may be,
         or release or compromise any obligation of any obligor with respect
         thereto,

                    (iv)  refrain from exercising any right or remedy, or
         delay in exercising such right or remedy, which it may have, or

                    (v)   take any other action which might discharge a
         subordinated party or a surety under applicable law;

provided, however, that the taking of any such actions by any of the
Trustees, the Liquidity Providers, the Policy Provider or the Subordination
Agent shall not prejudice the rights or adversely affect the obligations of
any other party under this Agreement.

                 SECTION 10.10  Governing Law.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL IN ALL
RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND
PERFORMANCE.
