shall be extended for an additional period equal to one (1) year beyond the
initial Term, or the extended Term, as the case may be, and specifying the final
Rent Payment Date and the expiry date of the Term as extended. Any such notice
given by the Lessee shall be irrevocable and shall be binding on the Lessee and
the Lessor, and, thereupon, the Term shall be extended to such expiry date
specified in the Lessee's notice, provided in each case that no Default of the
type described in Sections 17(a), (b), (c)(i) or (e) or Default of the type

paragraph (iii) or (iv) of the definition of Event of Loss shall extend beyond
the end of the Term as then in effect, and, in the case of an Event of Loss of
the type described in such paragraph (iv), if the Aircraft shall have been
registered by the Lessee in the United States in the name of the Lessor, as
owner, and the Lessee, as operator, and there shall be no restrictions on the
use of the Aircraft, then, in the event there shall have occurred and be
continuing no Default of the type described in Section 17(a), (b), (c)(i) or (e)
or Default of the type described in Section 17(c)(ii) or (d) (which, in the case
of Section 17(c)(ii) or (d), cannot be cured or the cure of which, if the same
are capable of being cured within the relevant period described in such Section
17(c)(ii) or (d), the Lessee is not diligently pursuing) or Event of Default or
other Event of Loss, the Lessee, at its option, by giving thirty (30) days'
notice prior to the


                                      -11-
<PAGE>

(1) year (unless the Lessor shall have given its prior written consent to any
other period) so long as it shall continue to perform its obligations under this
Lease including, without limitation, the payment of such Basic Rent as shall be
in effect on the last day of the initial Term or the Term as previously
extended. The provisions of Section 10(c) shall apply (i) in the case of an
Event of Loss arising out of paragraph (iii) of the definition thereof, and (ii)
in the case of Event of Loss arising out of paragraph (iv) of the definition
thereof, at the time that the prohibition shall no longer exist.

            SECTION 4. Representations, Warranties and Covenants. (a) The
Lessee's Representations and Warranties. The Lessee represents and warrants to
the Lessor as follows:

            (i) The Lessee is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing
      and in good standing under the laws of the Republic of Finland, has full
      power, legal right and authority (corporate and otherwise) to sell the
      Aircraft to the Lessor, to own and hold under lease its properties and to
      execute, deliver and perform and observe the provisions of this Lease and
      the other Operative Documents, and holds all licenses, certificates,
      approvals, consents and permits from the governmental authorities of the
      Republic of Finland and of any other governmental authorities to use and
      operate, maintain, repair, overhaul and test the Aircraft in accordance
      with this Lease and Applicable Law.

            (ii) The sale of the Aircraft by the Lessee to the Lessor and the
      execution, delivery and performance by the Lessee of this Lease and the
      other Operative Documents (A) have been duly authorized by all necessary
      corporate action on behalf of the Lessee, (B) do not require the consent
      or approval of the Lessee's stockholders or of any trustee or of the
      holders of any indebtedness or obligations of the Lessee (except such as
      have been obtained, or shall have been obtained, and shall be in full
      force and effect on the Delivery Date, certified copies of which shall
      have been furnished to the Lessor on or before the Delivery Date), (C) do
      not require any notice to or approval (including exchange control
      approval) or other action by or filing with any governmental authority or
      regulatory body and (D) do not contravene, or result in the creation of
      any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) under the Lessee's charter or
      by-laws, or any Applicable Law, or any judgment or order relating to the
      Lessee or any provision of, or constitute a default under, any indenture,
      mortgage, contract or other instrument to which the Lessee is a party or
      by which it or its properties is or are bound.

            (iii) This Lease is, and each other Operative Document, when
      executed and delivered shall constitute, the legal, valid and binding
      obligations of the Lessee enforceable against the Lessee in accordance
      with their respective terms. Without


                                      -12-
<PAGE>

      limitation of the foregoing, a court in Finland would recognize and give
      full force and effect to the Lessor's title to and ownership of the
      Aircraft, to the rights of the Lessor and the Owner Participants under
      this Lease and the other Operative Documents, and to the terms of Section
      23(b) hereof and of Article 12 of the Purchase Agreement and of the Bill
      of Sale providing that this Lease, the Purchase Agreement and the Bill of
      Sale, respectively, will be governed by the laws of the State of New York.
      Accordingly, to the extent that the remedies provided for in such Section
      18, such Article 12 and the Bill of Sale are enforceable under New York
      law, a court in Finland would give effect to the terms of such Section 18,
      such Article 12 and the Bill of Sale and enable the Lessor to exercise the
      same remedies against the Lessee (however designated) and with respect to
      the Aircraft if the Aircraft were then in Finland (including the right to
      repossess the Aircraft and to export the Aircraft from Finland).

            (iv) There is no pending or, to the best of the Lessee's knowledge,
      threatened action or proceeding affecting the Lessee before or by any
      court, tribunal, governmental agency or arbitrator which might materially
      adversely affect the financial condition or operations of the Lessee or
      the ability of the Lessee to consummate the transactions contemplated by,
      and perform its obligations under, this Lease or any other Operative
      Document.

            (v) The execution and delivery of this Lease and each other
      Operative Document and the performance of the transactions contemplated
      hereby and thereby constitute (for purposes of the Immunities Act and
      otherwise) commercial activities of the Lessee, and the Lessee is subject
      to private commercial law and to suit with respect thereto; the Lessee is
      not entitled to any immunity whether on grounds of sovereign immunity or
      otherwise, from set-off or from any legal proceedings in the United States
      (by virtue of the waiver of immunity contained herein) or Finland to
      enforce or collect upon this Lease or any other Operative Document or any
      other liability or obligation of the Lessee related to or arising out of
      the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including, without
      limitation, immunity from service of process, immunity from jurisdiction
      or judgment of any court or tribunal, immunity from execution of a
      judgment, and immunity of any of its property from attachment prior to any
      entry of judgment, or from attachment in aid of execution upon the
      judgment).

            (vi) Under present laws and tax treaty provisions:

                  (A) no taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges or withholdings
            will be imposed by Finland or any governmental subdivision or other
            taxing authority thereof or therein upon or with respect to payments
            of Rent or other amounts payable pursuant to this Lease or any other
            Operative Document, provided that:


                                      -13-
<PAGE>

                        (1) any of the Lessor or the Owner Participants is a
                  "resident" of the United States, as the term "resident" is
                  used in Article 4 of the Convention Between the United States
                  of America and the Republic of Finland for the Avoidance of
                  Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with
                  Respect to Taxes on Income and on Capital, signed on September
                  21, 1989 (the "Convention"), and

                        (2) neither the Lessor nor any Owner Participant has a
                  "permanent establishment" in Finland, as the term "permanent
                  establishment" is defined in Article 5 of the Convention, with
                  respect to which the transaction contemplated by the Operative
                  Documents or the income from such transaction is attributable;
                  and

                  (B) the operation of the Aircraft by the Lessee on flights to
            or from Finland will not result in the Lessor or any Owner
            Participant being subjected to any additional taxes, levies,
            imposts, duties, charges or withholdings imposed by Finland or any
            governmental subdivision or other taxing authority thereof or
            therein upon or with respect to the Lessor's or such Owner
            Participant's other income, activities or properties, subject to
            provisos (1) and (2) set forth in clause (A) above.

            (vii) The qualification at any time of the Lessor to do business
      under the laws of Finland or any political subdivision thereof does not
      constitute a condition to, and the failure to so qualify does not affect,
      the purchase by the Lessor of the Aircraft or the exercise by the Lessor
      of any right, privilege or remedy accorded it in, under or in connection
      with this Lease or any other Operative Document or the enforcement of such
      right, privilege or remedy; the purchase by the Lessor of the Aircraft or
      the performance by the Lessor of any action required under, or
      contemplated by, this Lease or any other Operative Document or the
      exercise of the remedies hereunder or thereunder (other than the operation
      or other use (other than merely leasing from a place of business outside
      of Finland) of the Aircraft by the Lessor) will not violate any
      now-existing Applicable Law of Finland or any political subdivision
      thereof or require any Finnish governmental filing, approval, consent, or
      recordation (except as set forth in paragraph (viii) below) or result in
      any tax liability (other than taxes required to be paid by the Lessee
      pursuant to Article 9 of the Purchase Agreement) to the Lessor pursuant to
      the now-existing Applicable Law of Finland or any political subdivision or
      taxing authority thereof or any now-existing rule or regulation of any
      federation or organization or similar entity of which Finland is a member.

            (viii) Except for the registration of the Aircraft in Finland in the
      name of the Lessor as owner with the CAA, (A) it is not necessary to
      ensure the legality, validity, enforceability or admissibility in evidence
      of this Lease or any other Operative Document in Finland that this Lease
      or any other Operative Document or any other


                                      -14-
<PAGE>

      document be filed or recorded with any court or other authority in Finland
      or that any stamp or similar tax be paid on or in respect of this Lease or
      any other Operative Document unless court action is taken, and (B) no
      further action by the Lessee in Finland (including the giving or recording
      of any document) is necessary in order to establish and perfect, in
      Finland, such title to and interest in the Aircraft as against the Lessee
      or any third parties as shall be conveyed by the Lessee to the Lessor on
      the Delivery Date.

            (ix) No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

      THE LESSEE HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGING AND AGREEING THAT, AS BETWEEN THE LESSEE,
      ON THE ONE HAND, AND THE LESSOR, EACH OWNER PARTICIPANT, THE TRUST
      COMPANY, THE OWNER TRUSTEE AND EACH INDEMNITEE, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE
      SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, ON THE OTHER HAND, ALL RISKS, OBLIGATIONS AND
      LIABILITIES WITH RESPECT TO ALL AND ANY OF THE FOREGOING AND ALL AND ANY
      OF THE MATTERS REFERRED TO IN THE LAST SENTENCE OF THIS PARAGRAPH (vii)
      ARE SOLELY THOSE OF THE LESSEE, except that on the Delivery Date, the
      Lessor will have received whatever title to the Aircraft was conveyed to
      it by the Lessee, free of Lessor Liens. The Lessor shall have no
      responsibility or liability to the Lessee or any other Person, regardless
      of any negligence (other than gross negligence or willful misconduct) of
      the Lessor, with respect to (i) any liability, loss or damage caused or
      alleged to be caused directly or indirectly by the Aircraft or any Part or
      any part of either thereof or by any inadequacy thereof or deficiency or
      defect therein or by any other circumstances in connection therewith, (ii)
      the condition, use, operation, performance, non-use,


                                      -17-
<PAGE>

      repair, maintenance or testing of the Aircraft or any Part or any part of
      either thereof or any of the other matters previously referred to in this
      paragraph (vii), or any risks relating to any thereof, (iii) any
      interruption of service, loss of business or anticipated profits or
      consequential damages, or (iv) the delivery, operations, servicing,
      maintenance, repair, replacement or improvement of the Aircraft or any
      Part or any part of either thereof.

            (viii) Trust Agreement. The Trust Agreement has been duly executed
      and delivered, constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the
      parties thereto, enforceable in accordance with its terms, and the Trust
      Agreement creates under the laws of the State of California for any Owner
      Participant the beneficial interest in the Trust Estate (as such term is
      defined in the Trust Agreement) it purports to create.

            (c) Lessee's Covenants.

            (i) The Lessee will not operate, service, repair, maintain, overhaul
      or test, or permit to be operated, serviced, repaired, maintained,
      overhauled or tested, the Aircraft in any country wherein any thereof
      would violate Applicable Law.

            (ii) The Lessee agrees that if the Republic of Finland shall cease
      to be, directly or indirectly, the owner of at least fifty and one-tenth
      percent (50.1%) of the issued and outstanding shares of the Lessee's
      capital stock entitled to vote the election of the Lessee's directors,
      then at any time after the occurrence and continuance of such event, the
      Lessee will give the Lessor prompt written notice after knowledge thereof
      by a Responsible Officer of the Lessee, and the Lessee will, upon the
      Lessor's written request, provide, within forty-five (45) Business Days
      after the Lessee's receipt of such request, security for the obligations
      of the Lessee under the Lease that qualifies as Collateral Security in the
      manner provided in paragraph (iii) of this Section 4(c). At any time
      during the Term when the Lessee is obligated to provide, or has provided,
      Collateral Security (as defined below), the Lessee may, in its sole
      discretion, purchase the Aircraft by paying the Lessor, and the Lessor
      shall be obliged to transfer the Aircraft to the Lessee "as-is where-is",
      free and clear of all Lessor Liens but otherwise without recourse or
      warranty (all as described in the first sentence of paragraph (vii) of
      Section 4(b) except that appropriate changes shall be made to the
      references to the parties and to accommodate a sale and purchase rather
      than a lease) upon receipt of an amount (the "Option Price") equal to the
      higher of (y) the Fair Market Sales Value or (z) the Stipulated Loss Value
      of the Aircraft, as of the date the Lessee makes such payment, which
      Stipulated Loss Value shall be that Stipulated Loss Value set forth
      opposite the Rent Payment Date corresponding to the date on which payment
      is made, or, if made on a Loss Payment Date which is other than a Rent
      Payment Date, as of the immediately succeeding Loss Payment Date provided,
      however, that if such payment date is other than a Rent Payment Date,
      there shall be


                                      -18-
<PAGE>

      deducted from the amount payable by the Lessee an amount equal to interest
      at the rate of 9.4% per annum (computed on the basis of a 365 day year and
      actual days elapsed) on the amount of Stipulated Loss Value as of such
      Loss Payment Date, computed on a daily basis, from and including the date
      such payment is made by the Lessee, to but not including such Loss Payment
      Date, as the case may be, and provided further that if such payment is
      made on a Rent Payment Date, the Lessee shall not pay the scheduled amount
      of Basic Rent otherwise due on such Rent Payment Date. The Lessor shall
      deliver a bill of sale for the Aircraft to the Lessee transferring to the
      Lessee title to the Aircraft on an "as-is where-is" basis, without
      recourse or warranty (all as described in the first sentence of paragraph
      (vii) of Section 4(b) except that appropriate changes shall be made to the
      references to the parties and to accommodate a sale and purchase rather
      than a lease) except that the Lessor shall warrant that the Aircraft is
      free and clear of all Lessor Liens. The Lessor shall cooperate reasonably
      with the Lessee, at the Lessee's sole cost and expense, in causing the
      Aircraft to be re-registered as the Lessee may require in connection with
      any such transfer of the Aircraft to the Lessee pursuant to this paragraph
      (iii). Upon payment of the Option Price this Lease and all Basic Rent, if
      any, to the date of receipt of such amount by the Lessor (prorated on a
      daily basis) and all accrued and unpaid Supplemental Rent to such date of
      receipt and the Lessee's obligation to pay Basic Rent accruing thereafter,
      shall terminate.

            (iii) (A) For purposes of Section 4(c)(ii) above, "Collateral
      Security" shall mean any one or more, at the Lessee's election, of (a)
      Dollar deposits in an interest-bearing account in the Lessee's name (the
      "Security Account") at a bank in Helsinki, Finland selected by the Lessee
      and reasonably satisfactory to the Lessor, (b) a guarantee of the Lessee's
      payment obligations under this Lease, issued by the Republic of Finland in
      favor of the Lessor, and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
      the Lessor, and (c) a letter of credit or letter of guarantee issued by a
      bank to the Lessor, securing the Lessee's payment obligations under this
      Lease, by a bank reasonably satisfactory to the Lessor and in form and
      substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lessor. When required, Collateral
      Security shall be provided in a cumulative amount equal to: 24.02% of the
      Stipulated Loss Value for Rent Payment Dates occurring in April 1992
      through July 1995; 24.20% of the Stipulated Loss Value for Rent Payment
      Dates occurring in October 1995 through January 1999; 21.70% of Stipulated
      Loss Value for Rent Payment Dates occurring in April 1999 through January
      2000 (if the Term is renewed as provided in Section 3(e)); and 19.20% of
      Stipulated Loss Value for Rent Payment Dates occurring in April 2000
      through January 2001 (if the Term is renewed as provided in Section 3(e)).

            (B) It shall be a term and condition of the Security Account, any
      such governmental guarantee and any such letter of credit or letter of
      guarantee, that, upon the certification by the Lessor to the Lessee, the
      bank or the issuer, as the case may


                                      -19-
<PAGE>

      be, that with respect to an Event of Default (other than any Event of
      Default described below in paragraph (C) of this Section 4(c)(iii) in
      paragraph (e) of Section 17), if (1) such Event of Default has occurred
      and is continuing unremedied after expiry of all grace and cure periods
      under this Lease, (2) the Lessor has declared in writing to the Lessee
      that this Lease is in default and the Lessor has commenced to exercise one
      or more of the remedies available to it under Section 18 of this Lease and
      (3) a period of at least thirty (30) consecutive days has elapsed after
      such written declaration to the Lessee by the Lessor, then the Lessor
      shall be entitled to claim such amounts of Collateral Security as it
      certifies are overdue and unpaid to it by the Lessee under this Lease.

            (C) It shall also be a term and condition of the Security Account,
      any such governmental guarantee and any such letter of credit or letter of
      guarantee, that, upon the certification by the Lessor to the Lessee, the
      bank or the issuer, as the case may be, with respect to any Event of
      Default described in paragraph (e) of Section 17, if (1) such Event of
      Default has occurred and is continuing unremedied after expiry of all the
      grace and cure periods provided for such Event of Default under this Lease
      and (2) a period of at least ninety (90) consecutive days has elapsed
      after such expiry, then the Lessor shall be entitled to claim such amounts
      of Collateral Security as it certifies are overdue and unpaid to it by the
      Lessee under this Lease.

            (D) All such amounts from the Collateral Security paid to the Lessor
      shall be applied by the Lessor in accordance with the terms of Section 18
      of this Lease and any excess shall be paid by the Lessor to the Lessee. So
      long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon request
      of the Lessee, all amounts of interest, if any, standing to the credit of
      the Security Account shall be paid to the Lessee quarterly on the first
      Business Day next succeeding the date on which each quarterly payment of
      Basic Rent has been received by the Lessor.

            (E) All amounts standing to the credit of the Security Account,
      including interest thereon, shall be paid to the Lessee, and all other
      items of Collateral Security shall be terminated immediately upon, as the
      case may be, (1) the indefeasible payment of the Option Price of the
      Aircraft and all other amounts required to be paid pursuant to paragraph
      (ii) of Section 4(c), (2) at such time as the Republic of Finland owns at
      least fifty and one-tenth percent (50.1%) of the Lessee's issued and
      outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote the election of
      directors, or (3) at such time as this Lease has been terminated and all
      Rent then due and payable has been paid.

            (iv) The Lessee's agent for service of process designated pursuant
      to the requirements of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended, is
      Finnair, General Manager North America presently located at Finnair
      Executive Office, 10 East 40th


                                      -20-
<PAGE>

      St., New York, N.Y. 10016 and the Lessee shall provide prompt written
      notice to the Lessor of any change in the name or address of such agent.
      The Lessee, further, shall notify the Lessor promptly if the Lessee shall
      cease to be a "foreign air carrier" within the meaning of the Federal
      Aviation Act of 1958, as amended, and thereupon shall specify whether or
      not the Lessee maintains an office in the United States of America, its
      territories or possessions of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and, the
      address or addresses, if any, of such office therein located.

            (v) The Lessee shall not (without the prior written consent of the
      Lessor) consolidate with any Person or merge into or convey, transfer or
      lease all or substantially all its assets to any Person unless upon any
      such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease the new or
      surviving entity, if not the Lessee, shall expressly or by operation of
      law assume all the obligations of the Lessee under this Agreement and the
      other Operative Documents.

            (vi) The Lessee, upon reasonable request, shall promptly furnish to
      the Lessor such information as may be reasonably required by the Lessor to
      enable the Lessor to file any reports required to be filed by the Lessor
      or the Owner Participants with any governmental authority because of the
      Lessor's ownership or leasing of the Aircraft or the Owner Participants'
      direct or indirect ownership of a beneficial interest in any part of the
      Lessor's Estate.

            (d) Lessor's Covenants. (i) The Lessor agrees that it will, at its
      own cost and expense, promptly take such action as may be necessary to
      duly discharge any Lessor Lien on the Aircraft.

            (ii) The Lessor agrees that, so long as no Event of Default shall
      have occurred and be continuing, the Lessor will not take any action or
      cause to be taken any action or fail to prevent any action arising by,
      through or under it, which causes interference with the Lessee's peaceful
      and quiet use, operation and possession of the Aircraft in accordance with
      the terms of this Lease.

            (iii) The Lessor agrees that it shall and hereby does indemnify and
      hold harmless the Lessee and its permitted assigns against any and all
      claims, losses, liabilities and damages (including attorney fees and
      disbursements) incurred in connection with any breach of the covenants of
      this Section 4(d), provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity and
      agreement to hold harmless shall be coextensive in scope with, and shall
      in no way expand, waive or limit, such covenants or agreements or any
      rights, remedies or defenses which are or would be available in connection
      therewith.

            (iv) Effective upon the execution and delivery of the Lease
      Supplement on the Delivery Date but only as long as no Event of Default
      shall have occurred and be


                                      -21-
<PAGE>

      continuing, the Lessor does hereby authorize the Lessee, on behalf of and
      to the exclusion of the Lessor, for the duration of the Term, to exercise
      in the Lessee's own name all existing warranties, service life policies
      and patent indemnities of manufacturers and maintenance and overhaul
      agencies of and for the Aircraft and Parts, if any, and upon the request,
      and at the cost, of the Lessee, the Lessor shall use its reasonable
      efforts to give the Lessee aid and assistance in enforcing the rights of
      the Lessee arising under such warranties, service life policies and patent
      indemnities.

            SECTION 5. Return of the Aircraft. (a) On the last Business Day of
the Term (or such earlier date as this Lease may be terminated pursuant to
Section 18 hereof) (the "Redelivery Date") all of the terms of this Section 5
shall apply and the Lessee at its expense will return the Aircraft to the Lessor
by delivering the same, at the Lessee's own risk and expense, to the Lessee's
maintenance facilities at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport, Finland (the "Redelivery
Location"), fully equipped with all Engines installed thereon. In the event that
any engine not an Engine shall be delivered with the returned Airframe as set
forth herein in connection with the termination of the Lease, all engines then
installed on the Airframe shall be of the same or another manufacturer of the
same or an improved model and suitable for use on the Airframe but all of the
same make and model and the Lessee, concurrently with such delivery, will, at
its own expense and at no cost or expense to the Lessor, furnish the Lessor with
a full warranty bill of sale from the Lessee, in form and substance satisfactory
to the Lessor, with respect to such engine, and with an opinion of the Lessee's
in house counsel to the effect that, upon such return, the Lessor will acquire
good and marketable title to such engine free and clear of all rights of third
parties under pooling, interchange, overhaul, repair and other arrangements and
all other Liens (other than Lessor Liens), and the Lessee shall take such other
action as the Lessor shall reasonably request, and thereupon the Lessor shall
transfer to the Lessee, "as-is", "where-is", free and clear of all Lessor Liens,
but otherwise without recourse or warranty (all as described in the first
sentence of paragraph (vi) of Section 4(b), except that appropriate changes
shall be made to the references to the parties and to accommodate a sale and
purchase rather than a lease), its title, if any, to such Engine not installed
on the Airframe at the time of its return. The Lessor shall, subject to the
terms and on the conditions of this Section 5, accept return of the Aircraft
from the Lessee by executing and delivering to the Lessee a Redelivery Receipt
of Aircraft and Engines, substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, not
later than 3:30 p.m. local time on the Redelivery Date. At the Lessor's
direction, the Lessee will (1) store the Aircraft out-of-doors at the Redelivery
Location or out-of-doors at another location in Europe utilized for the storage
and maintenance of the Lessee's aircraft, selected by the Lessee, in each case,
at the Lessor's risk and the Lessee's expense for a period not to exceed ninety
(90) days; or (2) on the Redelivery Date or at the end of the storage period
referred to in the preceding clause (1), ferry the Aircraft at the Lessee's sole
expense (including the cost of insurance of the type and in the amounts required
during the Term under Section 11 hereof) to any airport in Europe selected by
the Lessor, or to any other location selected by the


                                      -22-
<PAGE>

Lessor at the Lessor's sole risk and expense, provided, however, that the
Aircraft remains registered in Finland at all times during which it is under the
Lessee's operational control. During such storage period, the Lessee will,
during normal business hours, permit authorized representatives of the Lessor,
each Owner Participant and any prospective purchaser or user of the Aircraft or
any part thereof to inspect the same at all reasonable times and in any event
without interfering with the Lessee's normal operations, it being understood and
agreed that all such inspections shall be at the Lessor's risk and the Lessee
shall have no obligation or liability whatsoever in any way relating to any such
inspection other than the obligation to permit inspection of the Aircraft as
provided in this sentence. Upon such return, and at the Lessee's sole expense:

            (i) the Aircraft (A) shall, at the election of the Lessee, be
      registered in the Republic of Finland, except that the Aircraft shall be
      registered in Finland or the United States if and as so elected by the
      Lessee at any time in accordance with Section 6(c), (assuming the Lessor,
      or its designee, is then, or its designee by a transfer may then be,
      eligible to be the registered owner of the Aircraft); (B) shall be in
      compliance with the provisions of Section 6 hereof; (C) shall be in as
      good condition as when delivered to the Lessee hereunder, ordinary
      operating wear and tear excepted, or, in the case of any such engines
      owned by the Lessee or in substitution or replacement of the original
      Engines, assuming that such Engine or Engines have the remaining useful
      life required in Section 5(a)(vi), shall have a value, utility and useful
      life at least equal to, and shall be in as good operating condition as
      required by, the terms and provisions hereof with respect to the Engines;
      (D) shall be clean by international commercial passenger airline operating
      standards; (B) shall, except as otherwise provided herein or as otherwise
      agreed by the Lessor, be in the same configuration as when the Aircraft
      was originally delivered to the Lessee hereunder; and (F) shall be free
      and clear of all Liens other than Lessor Liens;

            (ii) the Aircraft shall (A) have a currently effective airworthiness
      certificate and, at the Lessor's request, an airworthiness certificate for
      export to the United States or to any member country of the OECD
      designated by the Lessor (or to any other location as may be designated by
      the Lessor and which is reasonably acceptable to the Lessee) issued by the
      CAA or the equivalent aviation authority of the Applicable Jurisdiction,
      as the case may be; (B) be duly certified as airworthy by the CAA or the
      equivalent aviation authority of the Applicable Jurisdiction, as the case
      may be; (C) be in compliance with all airworthiness directives and
      mandatory requirements of the CAA or the equivalent aviation authority of
      the Applicable Jurisdiction, as the case may be, and all applicable
      environmental, noise, air pollution and other similar standards of Finland
      and the International Civil Aviation Organization, in each case in
      existence on the date of such return and requiring terminating compliance
      within six (6) months (or the equivalent number of hours or cycles) of the
      Redelivery Date then applicable to the Airframe and each Engine, without
      regard to any waivers or


                                      -23-
<PAGE>

      exemptions delaying compliance with such directives or requirements
      applicable solely to the Lessee's use of the Aircraft but not applicable
      or available generally to any one or more other European operators; (D)
      have all components and systems operational; (E) have no deferred
      maintenance or inspection items, or placards and be free of corrosion in
      accordance with the limits of the Approved Maintenance Program; and (F) be
      configured and equipped as delivered for passenger use under regulations
      of the CAA or the equivalent aviation authority of the Applicable
      Jurisdiction, as the case may be;

            (iii) the Airframe and each such Engine shall be in such condition
      as shall be required to meet (A) all manufacturer's mandatory service
      bulletins; and (B) all applicable airworthiness directives of the CAA or
      the equivalent aviation authority of the Applicable Jurisdiction, as the
      case may be and the Applicable Law thereof;

            (iv) the special exterior markings of the Lessee and any sublessee
      on the Airframe shall have been removed, or caused to have been removed,
      by the Lessee and shall be painted over in a good and workmanlike manner;

            (v) the Airframe shall have been maintained by the Lessee in
      accordance with the Approved Maintenance Program with respect thereto and
      (A) shall have not more than twenty (20) hours since having had a C Check
      and any portion of a D Check applicable to such C Check, with no deferred
      items under the Approved Maintenance Program; and (B) shall not have less
      than four (4) years remaining until the next scheduled D Check, or its
      equivalent, provided that in the event that (1) the Aircraft shall, on the
      Redelivery Date, have more than four (4) years or its equivalent remaining
      until the next D Check, the Lessor shall pay to the Lessee an amount equal
      to Five Hundred Twenty-Five Dollars ($525.00) (adjusted as provided in
      clause (3) of this subparagraph (v)) for each day or its equivalent by
      which the period remaining until the next D Check exceeds four (4) years
      or its equivalent except that the Lessor may offset such payment
      obligation against any payment obligation of the Lessee under the
      Operative Documents then due and unpaid; or (2) the Aircraft shall, on the
      Redelivery Date, have less than four (4) years or its equivalent, but more
      than two (2) years or its equivalent, remaining until the next D Check,
      the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor an amount equal to Five Hundred
      Twenty-Five Dollars ($525.00) (adjusted as provided in clause (3) of this
      subparagraph (v)) for each day or its equivalent by which the period
      remaining until the next D Check is less than four (4) years or its
      equivalent; and provided, further, that (3) all payments made pursuant to
      this subparagraph (v) will be adjusted by reference to the Finnish Labor
      Index (limited to the maximum inflation adjustment of five percent (5%)
      per annum) applied on an annual basis for each year and fraction thereof
      from the Delivery Date to the Redelivery Date;


                                      -24-

            (vi) each Engine shall be "on condition" with "condition
      monitoring", and shall have a remaining life of at least 4,000 hours or
      4,000 cycles, whichever is more limiting, to removal of the most limiting
      life-limited part or known scheduled repair visit under the Approved
      Maintenance Program;

            (vii) the Engines will have each undergone full hot and cold section
      boroscope and isotope inspections in the presence of the Lessor's
      representative at the Redelivery Location immediately prior to such
      redelivery and after the Aircraft has been removed from service, and if
      any Engine shall not have been certified to be within the then-recommended
      manufacturer's maintenance manual limits and the limits of the Approved
      Maintenance Program for further operation, then the Lessee shall promptly
      cause such Engines to comply with such limits. The Lessee shall deliver to
      the Lessor, at no expense to the Lessor, all "no-charge kits" which have
      been offered to the Lessee by the manufacturer throughout the Term and
      which have not been installed on the Aircraft prior to redelivery to the
      Lessor; in addition, the Lessor may purchase from the Lessee at the
      Lessee's cost any service bulletin kits purchased by the Lessee for the
      Aircraft;

            (viii) the nose landing gear shall have no less than 8,250 cycles or
      48 months, whichever is more limiting, remaining until the next scheduled
      overhaul or shop visit under the Approved Maintenance Program and the main
      landing gear shall have on average no less than 10,000 cycles or 48
      months, whichever is the more limiting, remaining until the next scheduled
      overhaul or shop visit under the Approved Maintenance Program; and

            (ix) the Auxiliary Power Unit shall, on the Redelivery Date, have at
      least 2,400 cycles remaining until the next scheduled hot section
      inspection or overhaul under the Approved Maintenance Program.

            (b) On a date mutually agreed to by the Lessor and the Lessee at
least four (4) days prior to the Redelivery Date, a ground inspection of the
Aircraft shall be conducted, provided that any such inspection will not
interfere with the Lessee's normal operation of the Aircraft. The Lessee will
make the Aircraft and its Records (including historic and the most current
engine performance monitoring data) available for such inspection at the
Redelivery Location. At such inspection, the Aircraft will be inspected by
either, as the Lessor shall elect, an employee or agent of any Owner Participant
qualified to conduct such an inspection or an independent inspector, appointed
by the Lessor, who will perform such tests as are customary and reasonable upon
the return of used aircraft of the type leased hereunder, as are consistent with
the Approved Maintenance Program and as may be necessary or advisable to
determine whether the Aircraft complies with the terms of this Section 5(a); the
Lessor will promptly notify the Lessee of the results of such inspection and
will deliver a written report thereof in the event of any discrepancies for
receipt by the Lessee not later than two


                                      -25-
<PAGE>

(2) days prior to the Redelivery Date. Representatives of the Lessee and the
Lessor will be present at such inspection. Unless the parties otherwise agree in
writing, the inspector shall remain at the Redelivery Location until the Lessor
has accepted redelivery of the Aircraft. In addition, prior to or upon the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, the Lessee will conduct, at the
request of the Lessor and at the Lessor's sole expense, a sixty (60) minute test
flight for the purpose of verification of the operational conditions set forth
herein of the Aircraft, its equipment and systems and will permit not more than
three (3) individuals designated as observers by the Lessor to be on board such
Aircraft during such flight. All reasonable requests of the Lessor's
representatives shall be carried out by the Lessee's flight crew during any such
flight, provided that such requests do not endanger the Aircraft and can be
performed during the sixty (60) minute test flight. If as a result of such
inspection and test flight, the Aircraft is found not to comply with the terms
of this Section 5(a), the Lessee, at its expense, will forthwith take or cause
to be taken such action as may be required for such compliance and for
compliance with any of the other terms of this Section 5. The Lessor shall
compensate the Lessee for all fuel on board the Aircraft (at the price
applicable to such fuel on the Redelivery Date, including any applicable
into-plane charges) after completion of any test flight and the termination of
the Lease, but all other fluids and the like remaining on board shall, without
charge, together with such remaining fuel, become the property of the Lessor
upon the Lessee's receipt of payment for fuel and into-plane charges, as
aforesaid, and the Lessor's execution and delivery of the Redelivery Receipt.

            (c) The Lessee will, from the date hereof until the expiration of
the Term, cooperate fully with the Lessor in permitting prospective purchasers
or lessees of the Aircraft to inspect the Aircraft and its records, provided
that any such inspection will not interfere with the Lessee's normal operation
of the Aircraft.

            (d) Upon return of the Aircraft on the Redelivery Date to the Lessor
under this Section 5, the Lessee shall deliver all logs, manuals, certificates,
engineering and modification orders and data, records and data, and inspection,
modification, overhaul, repair and maintenance records and reports, and all
airworthiness directives of the CAA and other applicable authorities required to
be maintained with respect thereto by the CAA or otherwise under the Applicable
Laws of any Applicable Jurisdiction, and if any thereof shall not be in English,
English translations thereof but only to the extent required for registration of
the Aircraft with the FAA and copies (and, if and when permitted by the laws of
Finland, the United States and any other Applicable Jurisdiction, originals) of
any existing logs, manuals and records and data required by the FAA to permit
registration of the Aircraft under FAR 121, and operation of the Aircraft in,
the United States (collectively, together with such English translations, if
any, "Records").

            (e) Effective upon the Lessor's acceptance of return of the Aircraft
on the Redelivery Date, the Lessee does hereby re-assign to the Lessor all
existing warranties, service life policies and patent indemnities, which by
their terms do not prohibit assignment


                                      -26-
<PAGE>

by the Lessee, of manufacturers and maintenance and overhaul agencies of and for
the Aircraft and the Parts, if any, which were acquired by the Lessee during the
Term and upon the request of the Lessor, from time to time after the Redelivery
Date, the Lessee shall use its reasonable efforts to give the Lessor aid and
assistance in enforcing the rights of the Lessee arising under each thereof,
provided that the Lessor shall indemnify the Lessee for all costs and expenses
incurred by the Lessee in connection with such aid and assistance rendered. The
parties' respective obligations under this paragraph (e) shall survive
termination of this Lease.

            (f) In the event of a dispute arising with respect to the condition
of the Aircraft on the Redelivery Date, the parties shall obtain an appraisal by
an internationally recognized independent appraiser mutually agreed to by the
Lessor and Lessee.

            (g) The Lessor may assign its rights under Section in accordance
with the terms and subject to the conditions and provisions thereof to any
Person who leases or purchases the Aircraft from the Lessor at or after the end
of the Term.

            SECTION 6. Maintenance. Operation, Etc. (a) Registration.
Maintenance and Operation. The Lessee, at its own cost and expense, will at all
times during the Term: (i) cause the Aircraft to be in compliance with all CAA
regulations applicable to McDonnell Douglas MD 82 aircraft, certificated for
interstate and overseas operation under Finnish Applicable Law or such other
Applicable Law of such other Applicable Jurisdiction, as the case may be, and to
be and remain duly registered with the CAA in accordance with the Act in the
name of the Lessor as owner; (ii) maintain, operate, service, repair, overhaul
and test the Airframe and each Engine (including but not limited to all program
monitoring, program reliability and program reporting requirements under the
Approved Maintenance Program and the Act), so as to keep the same in as good
operating condition as when originally leased hereunder, ordinary wear and tear
excepted, in the same manner and with the same care as used by the Lessee with
similar aircraft operated by the Lessee, and in such condition as may be
necessary to enable the airworthiness certificate of the Aircraft to be
maintained in good standing at all times under the Act, Finnish Applicable Law
or such other Applicable Law of such other Applicable Jurisdiction as the case
may be, and in accordance with all manufacturers' mandatory service bulletins
with respect thereto, (iii) maintain all records, logs, manuals, manufacturer's
service bulletins, CAA and FAA airworthiness directives, engineering and
modification orders, and other Records and data required by Finnish Applicable
Law or such other Applicable Law of such other Applicable Jurisdiction as the
case may be, to be maintained in respect of the Airframe and each Engine; (iv)
perform all obligations required to be performed by it under the terms of all
applicable warranties, service life policies and patent indemnities of the
manufacturer or supplier of the Aircraft or any Part thereof, in respect of the
Aircraft or any part thereof. The Lessee shall comply with all (i) applicable
requirements of Finnish Applicable Law or such other Applicable Law of such
Applicable Jurisdiction, as the case may be, and all other applicable
environmental,


                                      -27-
<PAGE>

noise, air pollution and other similar standards of Finland or such other
Applicable Jurisdiction, as the case may be, and the International Civil
Aviation Organization in effect from time to time to the extent that such
standards are required to be complied with (without regard to any exemption
waiving or delaying compliance therewith applicable solely to the Lessee's use
of the Aircraft but not applicable or available generally to any one or more
other European operators) and (ii) the Lessee, at its own expense, forthwith
upon the delivery thereof hereunder, shall cause the Aircraft to be duly
registered (provided the Lessor or its designee is eligible to be the registered
owner of the Aircraft) and at all times thereafter to remain duly registered in
compliance (provided the Lessor or its designee is eligible to be the registered
owner of the Aircraft) with all Finnish registration and airworthiness
requirements or those of any other Applicable Jurisdiction, as the case may be.
The Lessee agrees that the Airframe and each Engine will not be maintained,
serviced, repaired, overhauled, tested, used or operated: (A) in violation of
any law or any rule, regulation or order of any government or governmental
authority having jurisdiction (domestic or foreign) or other Applicable Law or
in violation of the airworthiness certificates of the Aircraft; (B) in any area
excluded from coverage by, or in any manner or for any purpose inconsistent with
the terms of, any insurance required by the terms of Section 11 hereof; or (C)
in any recognized or threatened area of hostilities unless fully covered to the
Lessor's satisfaction by war risk insurance.

            (b) Mandatory Service Items. All airworthiness directives of the CAA
and all manufacturer's mandatory service bulletins requiring inspections,
repair, replacement or CAA-required terminating action during the Term, or, in
the case of airworthiness directives requiring terminating action, within six
(6) months of the Redelivery Date, with respect to the Airframe and each Engine,
shall be complied with by the Lessee at the Lessee's expense.

            (c) Re-registration. The Lessee may from time to time require the
Lessor, upon reasonable prior notice and at the Lessee's sole expense, to
re-register the Aircraft in Finland or the United States, as the case may be, in
the name of the Lessor, as owner, and of the Lessee, as lessee, if each is then
in compliance with all applicable registration requirements. During the period
the Aircraft is registered in the United States, all references in this Lease to
the "CAA" and to "Finnish Applicable Law", shall be deemed to refer to the FAA
and United States Applicable Law. The Lessor shall cooperate in connection with
any re-registration permitted under this paragraph (c).

            SECTION 7. Liens. The Lessee will not, directly or indirectly,
create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien upon or with respect to the
Aircraft, the Airframe or any Engine or any other portion of the Lessor's
Estate, except for the rights of the Lessor and the Lessee hereunder and
Permitted Liens.

            SECTION 8. [Intentionally omitted.]


                                      -28-
<PAGE>

            SECTION 9. Possession. (a) The Lessee will not, without the prior
written consent of the Lessor (such consent not to be unreasonably delayed or
withheld), assign any of its rights or obligations under this Lease or sublease
or otherwise in any manner deliver, transfer or relinquish possession or control
of, or transfer any estate, right, title or interest in or to, the Airframe or
any Engine or Part (whether through pooling or interchange agreements or
otherwise) or install any Engine, or permit any Engine to be installed, on any
airframe other than the Airframe or permit any Part to be installed on an
airframe or engine other than the Airframe or an Engine, provided that, so long
as no Default relating to an Event of Default under Section 17(e) and no Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lessee may, without the
prior written consent of the Lessor:

            (i) deliver temporary possession and control of the Airframe or any
      Engine or Part to the manufacturer thereof for testing, service,
      maintenance, overhaul or repair or, to the extent permitted by Section 12
      hereof, for modifications or additions;

            (ii) install an Engine on an airframe owned by the Lessee free and
      clear of all Liens except Permitted Liens;

            (iii) install an Engine on an airframe leased to the Lessee or owned
      by the Lessee and subject to a security agreement under which the Lessee
      is the debtor, provided that such airframe is free and clear of all Liens
      except the rights in and to the Airframe of the parties to such lease or
      security agreement and except Permitted Liens, and provided further, that
      if the Lessor's title to any such Engine shall be divested under any such
      agreement or arrangement, such divestiture shall be deemed to be an Event
      of Loss with respect to such Engine and the Lessee shall comply with
      Section 10(b) in respect thereof;

            (iv) in the ordinary course of testing, servicing, maintenance,
      repair or overhaul, remove any Part from the Airframe or any Engine,
      provided that the Lessee replaces such Part as promptly as possible with a
      Part which has a value and utility at least equal to the Part being
      replaced (assuming it to be in the condition and state required by this
      Lease) and is owned by the Lessee free and clear of all Liens except
      Permitted Liens; and any such replacement Part shall thereby become
      subject to this Lease without necessity of further act; provided, however,
      that any Part removed from the Airframe or any Engine for such purpose
      shall remain subject to this Lease until replaced by a replacement Part as
      provided in this clause (iv);

            (v) enter into a Wet Lease for the Airframe and the Engines or
      engines then installed thereon or for any Engine installed on any other
      airframe owned (in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this
      Section 9) or operated by the Lessee (or any permitted sublessee pursuant
      to subclause (vi) hereof) with any third party,


                                      -29-
<PAGE>

      provided, however, that the term of such Wet Lease shall not extend beyond
      the end of the Term;

            (vi) sublease the Airframe, any Engine or engines then installed on
      the Airframe (x) to any Affiliate of the Lessee with respect to which,
      were it the "Lessee" under this Lease, there shall have occurred and be
      continuing no Default or Event of Default of the type described in Section
      17(e) hereof, (y) upon prior notice to the Lessor, to any air carrier with
      respect to which, were it the "Lessee" under this Lease, there shall have
      occurred and be continuing no Default or Event of Default of the type
      described in Section 17(e) hereof, and which carrier is based in any
      member nation of the OECD, the Republic of Singapore, the Republic of
      South Korea, or the Kingdom of Thailand, or (z) to any other air carrier
      with respect to which, were it the "Lessee" under this Lease, there shall
      have occurred and be continuing no Default or Event of Default of the
      nature described in Section 17(e) hereof, in each case, on the date the
      sublease is entered into, which carrier has been approved in advance in
      writing by the Lessor, which approval the Lessor shall not unreasonably
      withhold or delay, provided that (A) such sublease shall provide that the
      sublessee will not transfer possession of or any other rights to the
      subleased property other than to the Lessee or the Lessor; (B) such
      sublease shall, by its terms, be made expressly subject and subordinate to
      all of the terms of this Lease, including, without limitation, the rights
      of any permitted assignee of the Lessor under Section 20 hereof and the
      right of the Lessor to enforce all of the remedies under Section 18 hereof
      upon the declaration of this Lease to be in default upon the occurrence of
      any Event of Default and to terminate all rights of the sublessee to
      possession of the subleased property irrespective of such sublessee not
      being in default; (C) the term of such sublease shall not extend beyond
      the end of the Term as then in effect; (D) such sublease shall contain
      provisions for the operation, maintenance and insurance of the Airframe or
      such Engine, as the case may be, which are substantially the same as such
      provisions of this Lease; and (E) the Lessee shall provide the Lessor with
      written notice of any sublease having a term greater than sixty (60) days
      within thirty (30) days after such sublease shall become effective and,
      promptly after the request of the Lessor, the Lessee shall provide a copy
      thereof to the Lessor, certified as true by the Lessee (provided that the
      Lessee may redact financial terms from such copy); and

            (vii) in accordance with this Lease (including, without limitation,
      Section 12) subject any Engine or Part to normal pooling agreements or
      arrangements in each case customary in the airline industry and entered
      into by the Lessee in the ordinary course of its business with one or more
      air carriers.

            (b) No pooling agreement, sublease or other relinquishment of
possession of the Airframe or any Engine shall in any way discharge or diminish
any of the Lessee's obligations to the Lessor hereunder or constitute a waiver
of the Lessor's rights or remedies


                                      -30-
<PAGE>

hereunder. Without limiting the preceding sentence and notwithstanding Section
9(a), the rights of any sublessee or other recipient of possession of the
Aircraft, however characterized, pursuant to any arrangement permitted by
Section 9(a) shall be subject and subordinate to, and any sublease permitted by
clause (vi) thereof shall be made expressly subject and subordinate to, all the
terms and provisions of this Lease, including, without limitation, the Lessor's
right to repossession and to avoid such sublease upon such repossession or an
Event of Default hereunder, and the Lessee shall remain primarily liable
hereunder for the performance and observance of all the terms and provisions of
this Lease and the other Operative Documents to the same extent as if such
transfer or sublease had not occurred, and all the terms and provisions of this
Lease and the other Operative Documents shall remain in full force and effect
notwithstanding such transfer or sublease.

            (c) In connection with any sublease permitted under this Section 9,
so long as no Event of Default and no Default which would become an Event of
Default of the type described in Section 17(e) has occurred and is continuing,
the Lessee may from time to time prior to the Redelivery Date require the
Lessor, upon reasonable prior notice and at the Lessee's sole expense, to
re-register the Aircraft in a jurisdiction other than Finland or the United
States, as the case may be, which shall be a nation described in clause (y) of
Section 9(a)(vi) (such other jurisdiction, the "Other Jurisdiction"), provided
that the Lessee shall deliver to the Lessor at the time of such registration an
opinion of counsel (which counsel may be counsel to the sublessee) with respect
to such Other Jurisdiction to the effect that (a) the Lessor's rights to
repossession under this Lease and the sublease to be entered into pursuant to
this Section 9 are valid, binding and enforceable and this Lease is valid and
enforceable (subject to customary exceptions) under the laws of such Other
Jurisdiction, (b) it is not necessary for the Lessor, or any Owner Participant,
as a result of such sublease or change in registration, to register or qualify
to do business in such Other Jurisdiction, (c) the ownership interest of the
Lessor in the Aircraft has been preserved under the laws of such Other
Jurisdiction and, to the extent required thereunder, such ownership interest has
been duly registered under such laws, and (d) such registration will not result
in the imposition by such Other Jurisdiction of any Taxes on the Lessor, any
Owner Participant, the Aircraft (or any part thereof) or otherwise in connection
with the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other Operative Document for
which the Lessee is not required to indemnify the Lessor (provided that in lieu
of the opinion referred to in this clause (d), the Lessee may indemnify the
Lessor (in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Lessor) for any Taxes imposed
by such Other Jurisdiction in connection with or relating to the transactions
contemplated by the Operative Documents which would not have been imposed but
for such registration). In addition, it shall be a condition to such
registration that (i) the aircraft and engine maintenance program under the laws
of such Other Jurisdiction shall be substantially similar to that required by
the FAA or the CAA, and (ii) such registration shall not otherwise adversely
affect the interests of the Lessor in the Aircraft. During the period the
Aircraft is registered in such Other Jurisdiction, all references in this Lease
to the "CAA" shall be deemed to refer to the equivalent aviation authority of
such Other Jurisdiction, and all


                                      -31-
<PAGE>

references to "Finnish Applicable Law", shall be deemed to refer to the
Applicable Law of such Other Jurisdiction. The Lessor shall reasonably cooperate
at the Lessee's request and expense in connection with any re-registration
permitted under this paragraph (c).

            SECTION 10. Event of Loss; Requisition for Use. (a) If an Event of
Loss shall occur with respect to the Airframe, the Lessee will within ten (10)
days after actual knowledge by a Responsible Officer of the Lessee (and in any
event within twenty (20) days) of the occurrence of such Event of Loss) notify
the Lessor thereof in writing and will pay to the Lessor, in Dollars and in
immediately available funds, not later than the earlier of one hundred twenty
(120) days after the date of the occurrence of such Event of Loss or five (5)
Business Days after the date of the Lessee's receipt of insurance proceeds, an
amount equal to the corresponding Stipulated Loss Value of the Aircraft for the
Loss Payment Date on which such payment is made (if payment is made on a Loss
Payment Date) or on the immediately succeeding Loss Payment Date set forth in
Schedule I to the Lease Supplement (if payment is made on a date other than a
Loss Payment Date); provided, however, that if the date such payment is made by
the Lessee is not a Loss Payment Date, there shall be deducted from the
Stipulated Loss Value amount payable by the Lessee an amount equal to the
interest at a rate of 9.4% per annum on such Stipulated Loss Value (computed on
the basis of a 365 day year and actual days elapsed) from and including the date
such payment is made by the Lessee, to but not including the Loss Payment Date
immediately following the date such payment is made by the Lessee; and provided
further, that if such payment is made on a Rent Payment Date, the Lessee shall
not pay the scheduled amount of Basic Rent otherwise due on such Rent Payment
Date. The Lessee will pay in full when due, but without duplication, the Basic
Rent for the Aircraft payable on each Rent Payment Date occurring prior to such
Loss Payment Date. In addition to the foregoing amounts, the Lessee shall pay to
the Lessor any Supplemental Rent then due and unpaid and required to be paid on
or prior to the date on which payment in full of such Stipulated Loss Value and
Basic Rent is required under this Section 10(a) to be paid to the Lessor. In
addition, if any such payment of Stipulated Loss Value and Rent is not paid in
full when due in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10(a), the
Lessee shall pay on demand interest on such unpaid amount at the Overdue Payment
Rate from and including the due date to but excluding the date on which payment
in full is received by the Lessor. Upon payment in full by the Lessee of all
amounts referred to above in this Section 10(a) and all other amounts, if any,
due and payable by the Lessee hereunder, (i) the Lessee shall have no further
obligation to pay Basic Rent due in respect of periods (or parts thereof)
commencing thereafter, (ii) this Lease shall terminate and (iii) upon request of
the insurers of the Aircraft, the Lessor will transfer to such insurers "as-is
where-is" title to the Airframe and each Engine, without any recourse,
representation or warranty (all as described in the first sentence of paragraph
(vi) of Section 4(b), except that appropriate changes shall be made to the
references to the parties and to accommodate a sale and purchase rather than a
lease), except that the Airframe and Engines are free and clear of Lessor Liens.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, such transfer shall not in any way affect or
limit the obligations or liabilities of the Lessee hereunder or


                                      -32-
<PAGE>

under any Operative Document not specifically discharged by such payment of
Stipulated Loss Value and Rent.

            (b) If an Event of Loss shall occur with respect to an Engine under
circumstances in which there has not occurred an Event of Loss with respect to
the Airframe, the Lessee will within twenty (20) days after a Responsible
Officer of the Lessee has actual knowledge (and, in any event, within sixty (60)
days) of the occurrence of such Event of Loss notify the Lessor thereof in
writing and will, not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the
occurrence of such Event of Loss, at its sole cost and expense, duly convey to
the Lessor (or cause to be conveyed to the Lessor), as replacement for such
Engine, title to another engine of the same or an improved make and model which
shall be owned by the Lessee free of all Liens other than Permitted Liens and
shall, in the opinion of the Lessor, have a value and utility at least equal to,
and in as good operating condition as, such Engine immediately prior to such
Event of Loss, assuming compliance by the Lessee with all of the terms of this
Lease with respect to such Engine. Prior to or at the time of such conveyance,
at the Lessee's sole expense the Lessee and the Lessor will enter into a
supplement to this Lease for purposes of subjecting such replacement engine to
this Lease and the Lessee, at the Lessee's sole expense will (i) cause to be
delivered to the Lessor evidence that the Lessor has acquired full warranty
title to such replacement engine free and clear of all Liens except Permitted
Liens and that such replacement engine is duly subjected to this Lease, such
supplement to this Lease and all other documents and instruments required to
effect or evidence the foregoing (including the bill of sale) to be in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lessor and the Lessee; and (ii) cause
to be delivered to the Lessor evidence satisfactory to the Lessor as to the due
compliance by the Lessee with the insurance provisions of Section 11 hereof with
respect to such replacement engine; and (iii) furnish to the Lessor an opinion
of the Lessee's counsel to the effect that, upon such conveyance, the Lessor
will acquire good and marketable title free and clear of all Liens, other than
Permitted Liens, to such replacement engine and that it will be leased hereunder
to the same extent as the Engine replaced thereby, and as to the validity,
binding effect and enforceability of such supplement to this Lease and other
documents and instruments. Upon compliance by the Lessee with the foregoing
terms of this subsection (b) within the 120-period referred to above, the Lessor
will (A) upon request by the insurers of such Engine transfer title to such
insurers of the Engine so replaced "as-is, where-is" without any recourse,
representation or warranty (all as described in the first sentence of paragraph
(vi) of Section 4(b), except that appropriate changes shall be made to the
references to the parties and to accommodate a sale and purchase rather than a
lease), except that such Engine is free and clear of any Lessor Liens and (B)
execute and deliver to the Lessee a partial release, in recordable form,
releasing such Engine from this Lease. Such replacement engine shall thereupon
constitute an "Engine" for all purposes hereof. No such termination of this
Lease with respect to any Engine as contemplated by this Section 10(b) shall
result in any reduction of Rent.

            (c) In the event of the requisition for use by the Finnish
Government or the government of any other Applicable Jurisdiction (including any
governmental authority, agency or instrumentality, including any court, thereof)
of the Airframe or any Engine during the Term, the Lessee shall promptly notify
the Lessor of such requisition and all the Lessee's obligations under this Lease
with respect to the Airframe or such Engine shall continue to the same extent as
if such requisition had not occurred; provided, however, that if the Airframe or
such Engine shall not be returned by the Finnish Government or such other
government prior to the end of the Term and the Lessee has given notice and
extended the Term in accordance with and as provided in Section 3(f), the Lessee
shall be obligated to return the Airframe or such Engine to the Lessor pursuant
to, and in all other respects to comply with the provisions of, Section 5
promptly upon its return by the Finnish Government or such other government. All
payments received by the Lessor or the Lessee from the Finnish Government or
such other government for the use of the Airframe or such Engine during the Term
shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Lessee unless an Event of Default or
Default shall have occurred and be continuing in which event such amounts shall
be paid over to or retained by the Lessor as security for the obligations of the
Lessee under this Lease and applied against the Lessee's obligations hereunder,
and upon the terms and conditions of Section 24(b)(ii) all such amounts and any
gain thereon from Permitted Investments required to be made pursuant to Section
24(b)(ii) shall be paid over by the Lessor to the Lessee; and all payments
received by the Lessor or the Lessee from the Finnish Government or such other
government for use of the Airframe or such Engine after the Term shall be paid
over to, or retained by, the Lessor.

            (d) At any time during the Term so long as no Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, the Lessee may, in its discretion, upon prior
reasonable notice to the Lessor, terminate this Lease with respect to any
Engine. In such event and on or before the date of such termination, the Lessee
shall replace such Engine hereunder by complying with the terms of Section 10(b)
hereof to the same extent as if an Event of Loss had occurred with respect to
such Engine, and the Lessor shall concomitantly therewith, as provided in
Sections 10(b) and 12, transfer all of its rights and interest in and to such
Engine to the Lessee as provided therein, and thereupon such replacement engine
shall constitute an "Engine" for all purposes hereof. Upon compliance by the
Lessee with the foregoing terms of this paragraph (d), the Lessor will execute
and deliver to the Lessee a partial release, in recordable form, releasing such
Engine from this Lease. No termination of this Lease with respect of any Engine
as contemplated by this Section 11(d) shall result in any reduction of Rent.

            SECTION 11. Insurance. (a) The Lessee at its expense shall carry
public liability (including, without limitation, contractual, bodily damage and
property damage liability and passenger products and completed operations
liability and also war risk and allied perils liability in accordance with
Lloyds of London aviation clause AVN.52 or its equivalent) and property damage
insurance, payable in Dollars, with respect to the Airframe


                                      -34-
<PAGE>

and the Engines (i) in an amount at least equal to the greater of that normally
carried, from time to time, by the Lessee with respect to similar aircraft
owned, leased or operated by it, or that carried, from time to time, with
respect to similar aircraft by major commercial air carriers flying routes
substantially similar to those flown by the Lessee but in no event less than
U.S. $500,000,000 per occurrence, and (ii) with commercial insurers of
internationally recognized standing.

            (b) The Lessee at its expense shall maintain in effect with insurers
of internationally recognized standing, and payable in Dollars all-risk aircraft
hull insurance for flight, taxiing and ground covering the Airframe and Engine
and any other engines on the Aircraft, and all-risk coverage with respect to any
Engine while removed from the Airframe, which is of the type and in
substantially the amount usually carried by corporations engaged in the same or
similar business and similarly situated as the Lessee (but specifically
including war risk, governmental confiscation (including the government of the
Applicable Jurisdiction), appropriation, and hijacking insurance (political and
non-political risks), except cover in respect of any hostile detonation of any
weapon of war employing atomic or nuclear fission, fusion or other radioactive
force or matter), provided that such insurance in respect of the Aircraft shall
at any time not be less than the Stipulated Loss Value for the Aircraft as of
the date of determination. The Lessee may self-insure, by way of deductible or
premium adjustment provisions in insurance policies, the risks required to be
insured against pursuant to this subsection (b), provided that such
self-insurance shall not apply in the case of a total loss or constructive or
arranged total loss of the Airframe and, in the case of any other loss, shall
not exceed U.S. $3,000,000 with respect to the Airframe and the Engines or
engines then installed thereon. Any policies of insurance required pursuant to
this subsection (b) shall provide that any loss in excess of U.S. $3,000,000
payable with respect to the Airframe and the Engines or engines installed
thereon or with respect to an Engine while on the ground shall be payable and
paid to the Lessor.

            (c) Any policies of insurance required pursuant to either subsection
(a) or subsection (b) above shall: (i) be amended to name the Lessor and the
other Additional Insureds as additional insureds warranted no operational
interest, but without the Lessor or the other Additional Insureds being liable
for premiums in respect of such insurance (other than by way of set-off as
mentioned in (vi) below), and in the case of each policy required pursuant to
subsection (b) above, shall name the Lessor and the other Additional Insureds as
loss payees; (ii) provide that, in respect of the interest of the Lessor and the
other Additional Insureds, in such policies, the insurance shall not be
invalidated by any action or inaction of the Lessee or any other Person (other
than the Additional Insureds, each for their respective interests) and shall
insure the interest of the Lessor and the other Additional Insureds, regardless
of any breach or violation by the Lessee or any other Person (other than the
Additional Insureds, each for their respective interests) of any warranty,
declaration or condition contained in such policies; (iii) provide that if such
insurance is cancelled for any reason whatsoever, or if any material change is
made in the coverage (including the scope


                                      -35-
<PAGE>

thereof) which affects the interest of the Lessor or the other Additional
Insureds, or if such insurance is allowed to lapse for nonpayment of premium,
such cancellation, change or lapse shall not be effective as to the Lessor or
the other Additional Insureds for thirty (30) days (seven (7) days or such
lesser period as may be customarily available in the case of any war risk and
allied perils coverage) after the giving of notice to the Lessor or such
Additional Insured, as the case may be, of written notice from such insurers to
the addresses provided hereunder to the Lessee of such cancellation, change or
lapse; (iv) provide that as against the Lessor and the other Additional
Insureds, the insurers shall waive, to the fullest extent permitted by
Applicable Law, all rights of subrogation; (v) provide, in the case of liability
insurance policies (A) that all of the provisions thereof shall operate in the
same manner as if there were a separate policy covering each insured (provided
that such policies shall not operate to increase the insurer's limit of
liability as set forth in such policies), and (B) that the insurance shall be
primary and without right of contribution from any other insurance which may be
available to the Lessor or any Additional Insured; (vi) shall waive any right of
the insurers to set-off, counterclaim or any other deduction, whether by
attachment or otherwise, against the interests of the Additional Insureds (other
than in respect of unpaid premiums in respect of the Airframe and the Engines or
engines installed thereon or with respect to an Engine which is on the ground);
and (vii) shall contain with respect to hull all risks and hull war risks
insurance a 50/50 clause per AVN. 103 or its equivalent. In the event that the
Lessee shall fail to maintain insurance as provided in this Section 11, the
Lessor may at its sole option provide such insurance and, in such event, the
Lessee shall, upon demand, reimburse the Lessor, as Supplemental Rent, for the
reasonable market cost thereof, without waiver of any other rights or remedies
the Lessor may have hereunder or under any other Operative Document.

            (d) (i) On or before the Delivery Date, and thereafter at the time
of each renewal (but no less than annually), the Lessee, at its expense, will
furnish to the Lessor and each other Additional Insured insurance certificates
with respect to the Aircraft signed by a firm of independent aircraft insurance
brokers reasonably acceptable to the Lessor, describing in reasonable detail the
insurance then carried and maintained on or with respect to the Aircraft and
noting any geographical limits to the coverage provided thereby. The Lessee will
cause such firm (i) to dispatch the said insurance certificates to the Lessor
and each other Additional Insured no later than fourteen (14) days after the
renewal date of the relevant insurance policies, and (ii) to advise the Lessor
and each other Additional Insured in writing promptly of any default in the
payment of any premium and of any other act or omission on the part of the
Lessee, of which such firm has knowledge and which might invalidate or render
unenforceable, in whole or in part, any insurance on the Aircraft. The Lessee
will, and will also cause such firm to, advise the Lessor in writing as promptly
as practicable after a Responsible Officer of the Lessee or such firm, as the
case may be, acquires knowledge that an interruption or reduction of any
insurance carried and maintained on the Aircraft pursuant hereto will occur.


                                      -36-
<PAGE>

                  (ii) The Lessee covenants and agrees that it shall provide all
such notices and take all such actions as shall be necessary or advisable to
prevent, and the Lessee shall not suffer to occur, the invalidation of any
insurance benefit which may otherwise be available to any additional insured but
for any action or inaction of any additional insureds that occurs or is a breach
or violation of the insurance policy or any warranty, declaration or condition
contained therein of which the Additional Insured has no actual knowledge or
that results from any action or inaction of the Lessee (including, without
limitation, the filing of any claims and the giving of appropriate notices so as
to prevent any such invalidation).

                  (iii) The Lessee covenants and agrees that it will pay to the
Lessor, or to whomever the same shall have experienced the set-off, as
Supplemental Rent, promptly upon any set-off described in Sections 11(c) and
11(d), an amount equal to the amount of any set-off pursuant to such Sections.

            (e) All insurance payments received by the Lessor or the Lessee from
insurance referred to in Section 11(b) and paid as the result of the occurrence
of an Event of Loss with respect to the Airframe or an Engine (as well as any
requisition or other payments received by the Lessor or the Lessee as the result
of any such Event of Loss) shall be, if received by the Lessee, immediately paid
to the Lessor and shall be held and applied by the Lessor as follows:

            (i) if such payment is received as the result of an Event of Loss
      referred to in Section 10(a), such payment shall be applied in reduction
      of the Lessee's obligation to make payment pursuant to Section 10(a) (and
      any excess shall be paid to the Lessee) or, if the Lessee shall have
      already made payment in full pursuant to said Section 10(a), all of such
      payment shall be paid to the Lessee, provided that no Event of Default or
      Default which would become an Event of Default of the type described in
      Section 17(a), (b) or (e) shall have occurred and then be continuing; and

            (ii) if such payment is received as the result of an Event of Loss
      referred to in Section 10(b), such payment shall be paid to the Lessee
      upon compliance by the Lessee with all of the terms of said subsection (b)
      provided that no Event of Default or Default which would become an Event
      of Default of the type described in Section 17(a), (b) or (e) shall have
      occurred and then be continuing.

            (f) All insurance payments received by the Lessor or the Lessee from
insurance referred to in Section 11(b) and paid other than as the result of an
Event of Loss with respect to the Airframe or an Engine shall be paid over to
the Lessee (i) upon the completion of repairs satisfactory to the Lessor and,
(ii) upon the Lessee's delivery of a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the
Lessee describing necessary repairs and specifying the amount of funds required
for making such repairs, and thereupon such funds shall be promptly applied by
the Lessee to the extent necessary to repair the damage to the Airframe


                                      -37-
<PAGE>

or such Engine, provided that the Lessee will make such payment to the Lessor,
and the Lessor shall not be required to make any such payment to the Lessee, if
an Event of Default or Default of the type referred to in Section 17(a), (b) or
(e) has occurred and is continuing. Any amount which would be payable to the
Lessee or any sublessee under any parallel provision pursuant to this subsection
(f) or Section 11(e) if a Default of the type described in such sections or an
Event of Default had not occurred and was not continuing shall be held by the
Lessor as security for the obligations of the Lessee under the Lease and applied
against the Lessee's obligations as and when due. If such Event of Default and
no such Default shall be cured and no other Event of Default and no such Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, such amount shall be paid to the Lessee
to the extent not previously applied in accordance with the terms hereof.

            (g) The Lessor and each Owner Participant and each Affiliate of any
thereof may at its own expense carry insurance with respect to the Lessor's
interest in the Aircraft and the Lessor's Estate, provided, however, that such
insurance does not prevent the Lessee from carrying, or otherwise adversely
affect the coverage of, the insurance required by this Section 11, or adversely
affect such insurance or the coverage of any other insurance carried by the
Lessee with respect to its interest in the Aircraft. Any insurance payments
received with respect to any such insurance (including any residual value
insurance) shall be retained by the Lessor or such other Person, to the absolute
exclusion of the Lessee, without reducing or otherwise affecting the Lessee's
obligations or liabilities hereunder or under any other Operative Document.

            SECTION 12. Replacement and Pooling; Modifications and Additions.
(a) The Lessee, at its own cost and expense, will promptly replace or cause to
be replaced all Parts which may from time to time become worn out, lost, stolen,
destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or permanently rendered
unfit for use for any reason whatsoever, except as otherwise provided by the
provisions of this Section 12. All replacement Parts shall be free and clear of
all Liens (except Permitted Liens), shall be in as good an operating condition
as, and shall have the value and utility at least equal to, the Parts replaced
(assuming the same to be in the condition and state required by this Lease). All
Parts, at any time removed from the Airframe or any Engine, shall remain the
property of the Lessor, no matter where located, until such time as such Parts
shall be replaced by Parts which meet the requirements for replacement Parts
specified above. Immediately upon any replacement Part becoming incorporated or
installed in or attached to the Airframe or any Engine, without further act,
title shall vest in and such replacement Part shall become the property of the
Lessor, and shall become subject to this Agreement and be deemed a Part for all
purposes hereof to the same extent as the Parts originally incorporated or
installed in or attached to the Airframe or such Engine.

            (b) Any Part replacing a Part removed from the Airframe or any
Engine pursuant to a pooling or similar arrangement in accordance with Section 9
shall be


                                      -38-
<PAGE>

incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or such Engine in
accordance with Section 12(a) as promptly as possible after the removal of such
removed Part. In addition, any replacement Part when incorporated or installed
in or attached to the Airframe or any Engine in accordance with Section 12(a)
may be owned by a third Person subject to such a normal pooling arrangement
permitted by this Lease, provided that the Lessee, at its own expense, as
promptly thereafter as possible, but in any event not more than 180 days
thereafter, either (i) obtains and, by operation of Section 12(a) conveys to
Lessor, title to such replacement Part to vest in the Lessor in accordance with
Section 12(a) free and clear of all Liens (except Permitted Liens), or (ii)
replaces or procures the replacement of such replacement Part by the
incorporation or installation in or attachment to such Airframe or Engine of a
further replacement Part free and clear of all Liens (except Permitted Liens)
and by causing title to such further replacement Part to vest in the Lessor in
accordance with Section 12(a) and such further replacement Part shall forthwith
be deemed part of the Airframe or Engine to the same extent as the Part
originally incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or such
Engine and become subject to this Lease.

            (c) The Lessee, at its expense, will make such modifications in and
additions to the Airframe and each Engine as may be required from time to time
in order to meet the standards of Applicable Law and in order for the Lessee to
comply fully with the terms of this Lease, including Sections 5 and 6 hereof. In
addition, so long as no Event of Default or Default which would become an Event
of Default of the type described in Section 17(e) shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Lessee, at its expense, may from time to time make such
modifications in and additions to the Airframe or any Engine as the Lessee may
deem desirable in the proper conduct of its business; provided, however, that no
such modification or addition shall diminish the value or utility of the
Airframe or such Engine, or impair the airworthiness or operating condition
thereof, below the value, utility, airworthiness and condition thereof
immediately prior to such modification or addition assuming the Airframe and
such Engine were in the condition and repair state required by this Lease. Title
to all Parts incorporated or installed in or attached or added to the Airframe
or an Engine, as the result of such modification or addition shall, without
further act, vest in the Lessor. Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of this
Section 12, so long as no Event of Default or Default which would become an
Event of Default of the type described in Section 17(e) shall have occurred and
be continuing, the Lessee may remove any Part, provided that (i) such Part is in
addition to, and not in replacement of or substitution for, any Part originally
incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or an Engine at the
time originally leased by the Lessor or any Part in replacement of, or
substitution for, any such Part, (ii) such Part is not required to be
incorporated or installed in or attached or added to such Airframe or an Engine,
pursuant to the terms of this Lease, and (iii) such Part can be removed from the
Airframe or such Engine without causing material damage to the Airframe or such
Engine and without diminishing or impairing the value, utility, condition or
airworthiness required to be maintained by the terms of this Lease which the
Airframe and such Engine would have had at such time had such modification or
addition not occurred.


                                      -39-
<PAGE>

Upon the removal by the Lessee of any Part as provided in the immediately
preceding sentence, title thereto shall, without further act, vest in the Lessee
and such Part shall no longer be deemed part of the Airframe or the Engine from
which it was removed. Any Part not removed by the Lessee prior to the return of
the Aircraft to the Lessor hereunder shall remain the property of the Lessor.

            SECTION 13. Insignia. On or prior to the Delivery Date, the Lessee
agrees to affix and maintain in the cockpit of the Airframe, in a prominent
position on the door, a metal nameplate bearing the following inscription:
"TRUST COMPANY FOR USL, INC., OWNER TRUSTEE/LESSOR". The Lessee further agrees
not to affix, or suffer to be affixed, to or allow the name of any Person to be
affixed to or placed on the Airframe or any Part any indicia of ownership
thereof by any person other than the Lessor.

            SECTION 14. Inspection/Information. (a) The Lessee will permit the
Lessor, at the Lessor's sole cost and expense (except if incurred in the
Lessor's exercise of remedies under Section 18), by its officers or agents to
inspect the Aircraft or any Parts or any part thereof and the Lessee's documents
and records relating thereto, and at such reasonable times during normal
business hours (or at any other time acceptable to the Lessee) as the Lessor may
from time to time request, provided, however, that such inspections shall not
interfere with the Lessee's normal operation of the Aircraft. The Lessor shall
have no duty to make any such inspection and shall not incur any liability or
obligation by reason of making or not making any such inspection. The Lessee
shall provide the Lessor (i) as soon as available and in any event within (x)
one hundred eighty (180) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Lessee, a
copy of the published annual report to its shareholders (in the English language
for the financial part) for such year for the Lessee, and (y) ninety (90) days
after the end of each second fiscal quarter of the Lessee, a copy of the
Lessee's published interim report to shareholders, and (ii) such other
information respecting the Lessee's financial conditions (to the extent made
available to the Lessee's shareholders and senior lenders) or operations or the
maintenance status of the Aircraft as the Lessor may from time to time
reasonably request.

            (b) The Lessee agrees to provide to the Lessor not less than thirty
(30) days after the end of each fiscal quarter, a detailed report specifying the
actual number of hours/cycles utilized on the Airframe and each Engine during
the preceding fiscal quarter, the location of the Airframe and each Engine as of
the end of such quarter, any unscheduled maintenance work at or exceeding the
level of a C Check performed thereon during such quarter and any other such
information relating to the Airframe and Engines as the Lessor may reasonably
request.

            (c) The Lessee will give notice of an Event of Default or a Default
which would become an Event of Default of the type described in Section 17(e)
when a Responsible Officer of the Lessee has actual knowledge thereof.


                                      -40-
<PAGE>

            SECTION 15. The Lessor's Right to Perform for the Lessee. If the
Lessee fails to pay any Rent hereunder or fails to perform or comply with any of
its other agreements contained herein, the Lessor may, on behalf of the Lessee,
make such payment or perform or comply with such agreement, and the amount of
such payment and the amount of the reasonable costs and expenses incurred in
connection with such payment, performance or compliance, as the case may be
(together with an amount that is the equivalent of interest thereon at the
Overdue Payment Rate), shall be payable by the Lessee on demand as Supplemental
Rent (not as interest).

            SECTION 16. Further Assurances. The Lessee at its expense will
promptly and duly execute and deliver such documents and assurances and take
such action as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Lessor may from time to
time reasonably request, in order to more effectively carry out the intent and
purpose of this Lease and the other Operative Documents and to establish and
protect the Lessor's title to the Aircraft and its rights and remedies created
or intended to be created under this Lease and the other Operative Documents,
including, without limitation, the execution, delivery and filing of Uniform
Commercial Code financing and continuation statements with respect to this
Lease, in form and substance satisfactory to the Lessor, in such jurisdictions
as the Lessor may reasonably request.

            SECTION 17. Events of Default. The following events shall constitute
Events of Default (whether any such event shall be voluntary or involuntary or
arise by operation of law or pursuant to or in compliance with any judgment,
decree, order, rule or regulation of any court or any administrative or
governmental body):

            (a) The Lessee shall fail to make any payment of Basic Rent or
      Stipulated Loss Value within seven (7) days after the earlier of (i)
      written notice to the Lessee and (ii) actual knowledge by a Responsible
      Officer of the Lessee that such payment shall not have been paid when due;
      or

            (b) The Lessee shall fail to make any other payment of Rent of any
      kind when due and such failure shall continue unremedied for a period of
      fifteen (15) days after the earlier of (i) written notice to the Lessee
      and (ii) actual knowledge by a Responsible Officer of the Lessee that such
      payment shall not have been paid when due; or

            (c)(i) The Lessee shall fail to carry and maintain insurance in
      accordance with Section 11 hereof, or the Lessee shall operate the
      Aircraft at a time when insurance required by the provisions of Section 11
      shall not be in effect; or

            (ii) The Lessee shall fail in any material respect to perform or
      observe any other covenant or agreement to be performed or observed by it
      under this Lease or


                                      -41-
<PAGE>

      under any other Operative Document (other than such as are the subject of
      Section 17(c)(i)) and such failure to perform or observe such other
      covenant or agreement shall continue unremedied for a period of thirty
      (30) days after written notice thereof to the Lessee by the Lessor, except
      if such failure is curable and the Lessee is diligently proceeding to cure
      such failure for a period not longer than ninety (90) days after such
      notice; or

            (d) Any representation or warranty made by the Lessee in this Lease
      or in any other Operative Document or in any document or certificate
      furnished by the Lessee in connection herewith or therewith shall have
      been incorrect in any material respect at the time made and such
      incorrectness materially adversely affects the rights of the Lessor under
      the Operative Documents and the Lessor has given written notice thereof to
      the Lessee, or, if such incorrectness is curable and the Lessee is
      diligently proceeding to cure same, such incorrectness shall continue for
      a period not longer than forty-five (45) days after the earlier of (i)
      such notice and (ii) actual knowledge of such incorrectness by a
      Responsible Officer of the Lessee; or

            (e) The Lessee shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts
      generally, or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of
      creditors; or any proceeding or petition (voluntary or involuntary) shall
      be instituted or commenced by or against the Lessee under the laws of any
      country, now or hereafter in effect, seeking to adjudicate it a bankrupt
      or insolvent, or seeking liquidation, winding up, reorganization,
      arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief or composition of it or its
      debts under any law of any country relating to bankruptcy, insolvency,
      moratorium or reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking the entry of
      an order, judgment or decree for relief or the appointment of a receiver,
      trustee, or other similar official for it or for any substantial part of
      its property and either such proceeding (in the case of an involuntary
      proceeding only) shall remain undismissed or unstayed for a period of
      ninety (90) days, or the Lessee shall take any corporate action to
      authorize any of the actions set forth above in this subsection (e), or if
      any competent court shall by final decision have declared the Lessee "en
      disastre", bankrupt or insolvent or if, under the provisions of the
      Applicable Law of Finland, any Finnish court of competent jurisdiction
      shall assume jurisdiction, custody or control of the Lessee or of any
      substantial part of its property and such jurisdiction, custody or control
      shall remain in force unrelinquished or unstayed for a period of ninety
      (90) days.

            SECTION 18. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default
and at any time thereafter so long as the same shall be continuing, the Lessor
may, at its option, declare in writing to the Lessee that this Lease is in

remedied all outstanding Events of Default, the Lessor may do one or more of the
following with respect to the Airframe or any Engine, as the Lessor in


                                      -42-
<PAGE>

its sole discretion shall elect, to the extent permitted by, and subject to
compliance with any mandatory requirements of, Applicable Law then in effect:

            (a) cause the Lessee, upon the written demand of the Lessor and at
      the Lessee's expense, to return promptly, and the Lessee hereby agrees
      that it shall return promptly, such of the Airframe and the Engines as the
      Lessor may so demand to the Lessor or such Person as the Lessor may
      designate pursuant to Applicable Law in the manner and condition required
      by, and otherwise in accordance with all the provisions of, Section 5 as
      if the Airframe or such Engine were being returned at the end of the Term,
      or the Lessor or the Lessor's agent, at its option, may, but shall be
      under no obligation to, enter upon the premises where all or any part of
      the Airframe or any Engine is located and take immediate possession of and
      remove the same by summary proceedings or otherwise, all without liability
      accruing to the Lessor or the Lessor's agent for or by reason of such
      entry or taking of possession, removal or storage whether for the
      restoration of damage to property caused by any such action or otherwise;

            (b) sell all or part of the Airframe or any Engine at public or
      private sale, as the Lessor may determine, or otherwise dispose of, hold,
      use, operate, lease to others or keep idle the Airframe or any Engine as
      the Lessor may determine, all free and clear of any rights or claims of
      the Lessee and without any duty to account to the Lessee with respect to
      such action or inaction or for any proceeds with respect thereto;

            (c) whether or not the Lessor shall have exercised, or shall
      thereafter at any time exercise, any of its rights under Section 18(a) or
      (b) above with respect to all or part of the Airframe or any Engine, the
      Lessor, by written notice to the Lessee specifying a payment date not
      earlier than ten (10) days from the date of such notice, may cause the
      Lessee to pay to the Lessor, and the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor, on
      the payment date specified in such notice, as liquidated damages for loss
      of a bargain and not as a penalty (in lieu of the scheduled Basic Rent for
      the Aircraft otherwise due on Rent Payment Dates occurring on and after
      the payment date specified for payment in such notice), any unpaid Basic
      Rent for the Aircraft due (or which would have been due in the absence of
      the termination of this Lease) prior to the payment date specified in such
      notice, any accrued, due and unpaid Supplemental Rent to and including
      such payment date, plus whichever of the following amounts the Lessor, in
      its sole discretion, shall specify in such notice (together with interest
      on all amounts payable by the Lessee under this subsection (c) at the
      Overdue Payment Rate from such specified payment date until the date of
      actual payment): (i) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the
      Stipulated Loss Value for the Airframe or such Engine (computed as of the
      Loss Payment Date immediately succeeding the date specified in such
      notice), over the aggregate Fair Market Rental Value of the Airframe or
      such


                                      -43-
<PAGE>

      Engine for a period equal to the remainder of the Term (or what would have
      been the remainder of the Term in the absence of the termination of this
      Lease) after discounting such aggregate Fair Market Rental Value quarterly
      (effective on the dates which would have been Rent Payment Dates in the
      absence of the termination of this Lease) to present worth as of the
      payment date specified in such notice at the rate per annum equal to the
      Overdue Payment Rate; or (ii) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of
      the Stipulated Loss Value for the Airframe or such Engine (computed as of
      the Loss Payment Date immediately succeeding the date specified in such
      notice), over the Fair Market Sales Value of the Airframe or such Engine,
      as of the payment date specified in such notice; provided, however, that
      if such payment is not made on a Loss Payment Date, there shall be
      deducted from the amount payable by the Lessee under this subsection (c)
      an amount equal to interest at the rate of 9.4% per annum (computed on the
      basis of a 365 day year and actual days elapsed) on the Stipulated Loss
      Value payable by the Lessee, from and including the date such payment is
      due under this subsection (c), to but not including the Loss Payment Date
      immediately following the date of such payment;

            (d) in the event the Lessor shall have sold the Airframe or any
      Engine, the Lessor, in lieu of exercising its rights under Section 18(c)
      with respect to the Airframe or such Engine, may, if it shall so elect,
      require the Lessee to pay to the Lessor, and the Lessee shall pay to the
      Lessor, on the date of such sale, as liquidated damages for loss of a
      bargain and all other losses to the Lessor and not as a penalty, all
      unpaid Basic Rent for the Aircraft due (or which would have been due in
      the absence of the termination of this Lease) on each Rent Payment Date
      occurring prior to the date of such sale, plus any Supplemental Rent that
      is accrued, due and unpaid to the date of such sale plus the amount of any
      deficiency between the net proceeds of such sale and the Stipulated Loss
      Value of the Airframe or such Engine (computed as of the Loss Payment Date
      occurring on (if payment is made on a Loss Payment Date) or immediately
      following (if payment is made on a date other than a Loss Payment Date)
      the date of such sale), together with interest at the Overdue Payment Rate
      on all amounts payable by the Lessee under this subsection (d) from the
      date of such sale until the date of actual payment; provided, however,
      that if payment in respect of such sale is made on a date which is not a
      Loss Payment Date, there shall be deducted from the amount payable by the
      Lessee pursuant to this subdivision (d) an amount equal to interest at
      9.4% per annum (computed on the basis of a 365 day year and actual days
      elapsed) on the Stipulated Loss Value payable by the Lessee, from and
      including the date of such sale, to but not including the Loss Payment
      Date immediately following the date of such sale; and/or

            (e) the Lessor may rescind this Lease or may exercise any other
      right or remedy which may be available to it under Applicable Law, or to
      proceed by


                                      -44-
<PAGE>

      appropriate court action to enforce the terms hereof or to recover damages
      permitted by Applicable Law for breach hereof.

            In addition, the Lessee shall be liable, except as otherwise
provided above, for any and all unpaid Rent due hereunder before, after or
during the exercise of any of the foregoing remedies and for all legal fees and
other costs and expenses incurred by reason of the occurrence of any Event of
Default or the exercise of remedies with respect thereto, including all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with any retaking of the
Airframe or any Engine or in placing the Airframe or any Engine in the condition
and airworthiness required by Section 5. At any sale of the Airframe or any
Engine pursuant to this Section 18, the Owner Participant, the Lessor or the
Lessee, or any Affiliate of any thereof, may bid for and purchase such property.
Except as otherwise expressly provided above, no remedy referred to in this
Section 18 is intended to be exclusive, but each shall be cumulative and in
addition to any other remedy referred to above or otherwise available to the
Lessor at law or in equity; and the exercise or beginning of exercise by the
Lessor of any one or more of such remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous
or later exercise by the Lessor of any or all of such other remedies. No express
or implied waiver by the Lessor of any Event of Default or Default shall in any
way be, or be construed to be, a waiver of any future or subsequent Event of
Default or Default. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Lessee hereby
waives any rights now or hereafter conferred by statute or otherwise which may
require the Lessor to sell, lease or otherwise use or keep idle the Airframe or
any Engine in mitigation of the Lessor's damages except as set forth in this
Section or which may otherwise limit or modify any of the Lessor's rights or
remedies under this Section 18.

            For the purpose of this Section 18, the "Stipulated Loss Value" as
of any date for the Airframe or any Engine means a portion of the Stipulated
Loss Value of such Aircraft, computed as of such date, which bears the same
ratio to such Stipulated Loss Value of the Aircraft as the original cost to the
Lessor of the Airframe or such Engine (as the case may be), as reasonably
computed by the Lessor, bears to the original cost to the Lessor of the
Aircraft.

            SECTION 19. Expenses.

            (a) Each party shall pay all costs and expenses (including legal
fees and expenses of counsel) it has incurred in connection with the
preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification and amendment of
this Lease, any other Operative Document and the other documents to be delivered
hereunder or thereunder, as the case may be, except as otherwise provided below
in this Section 19, provided that in no event shall the Lessee pay any costs or
fees or any amounts of any nature whatsoever relating to the Owner Trustee or
any successor trustee or co-trustee under the Trust Agreement or administration
of the Trust Estate.


                                      -45-
<PAGE>

            (b) The Lessor shall pay all the costs of any mortgage taxes or
security filings incurred in connection with any financings or refinancing of
the Aircraft, except as otherwise provided below in clause (d).

            (c) In connection with any financing or re-financing of the Aircraft
occurring after the Delivery Date, the Lessor shall pay on demand all reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses
of counsel) incurred by the Lessee in connection with any such financing or
re-financing, except as otherwise provided below in clause (d).

            (d) In connection with the amendment or modification to the Lease,
or registration or deregistration of the Aircraft, in each case requested by the
Lessee after the Delivery Date, or any amendment or modification to the Lease
required in connection with an Event of Loss with respect to an Engine or a
substitution of engines by the Lessee pursuant to Section 10(b) or 10(d),
respectively, and in each other instance under this Lease or any other Operative
Document where it is expressly stated that costs or expenses are to be borne by
the Lessee, the Lessee shall pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs
and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses of counsel) incurred
by the Lessor, including but not limited to, any reasonable costs incurred by
the Lessor in connection with such registration or deregistration, or such Event
of Loss or engine substitution under or pursuant to any financing or refinancing
arrangement then in place.

            (e) Any party may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, seek
payment by the other party of all its costs and expenses (including legal fees
and expenses of counsel) incurred in connection with any legal suit, action,
proceeding or arbitration arising out of or relating to this Lease or any of the
Operative Documents, provided that in any such legal suit, action or proceeding
or arbitration in which final judgment has been entered, the party against whom
such judgment has been entered shall pay all such costs and expenses (including
legal fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the prevailing party.

            SECTION 20. Assignment; Owner Trustee. Except as otherwise provided
in Section 13 of the Purchase Agreement or as the parties may otherwise agree in
writing, the Lessor agrees that it will not, at any time after the execution and
delivery of this Lease and prior to the expiry of the Term, assign or convey its
right, title and interest in and to this Lease or the Aircraft without the
written prior consent of the Lessee.

            SECTION 21. Notices. All notices required under the terms and
provisions hereof shall be in writing or by telecommunication, in the English
language, and any such notice shall become effective when received by the other
party, by hand, by registered mail with proper postage for airmail prepaid, or,
if in the form of a telegram, telex or telecopy, upon confirmation of receipt
thereof, in each case addressed (i) if to the Lessee:

or to such other address as the Lessor shall from time to time designate in
writing to the Lessee.

            SECTION 22. Net Lease. No Set-Off. Counterclaim. Etc. All Rent shall
be paid by the Lessee in the manner provided in Section 3(b). This Lease is a
net lease, and the Lessee will pay all costs, charges, fees and expenses
associated with the use, non-use, possession, control, operation, maintenance
and repair of the Aircraft and the Parts, except as expressly provided herein.
The Lessee's obligation to pay all Rent payable hereunder shall be absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without
limitation, (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right
which the Lessee may have against the Lessor, any Owner Participant, the
manufacturer of the Airframe or of any Engine or of any Part or any other Person
for any reason whatsoever (whether in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby or in connection with any unrelated transaction), (ii) any
defect in the title, airworthiness, eligibility for registration under
Applicable Law, condition, design, operation, merchantability, or fitness for
use of, any other matter referred to in the first sentence of paragraph (vii) of
Section 4(b), or any damage to or loss or destruction of, or any Lien upon, the
Airframe or any Engine, or any interruption or cessation in the use or
possession thereof by the Lessee for any reason whatsoever, including by reason
of governmental authority or action, (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy,
reorganization, "en disastre", moratorium or similar proceedings by or against
the Lessee, the Lessor or any other Person, (iv) the invalidity or
unenforceability of any of the Operative Documents, (v) any restriction on the
exchange of any currency into any other


                                      -47-
<PAGE>

currency, including, without limitation, an exchange of Finnish Marks into
Dollars, or on the transfer of funds to the United States or from Finland, (vi)
the Lessee at any time having immunity from suit or execution on the grounds of
sovereignty, enforceability of judgment or otherwise, (vii) any other
circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of
the foregoing. If for any reason whatsoever this Lease shall be terminated as to
the Airframe or any Engine in whole or in part by operation of Applicable Law,
or otherwise, except as specifically provided herein, the Lessee nonetheless
agrees to pay to the Lessor an amount equal to each Basic Rent payment for the
Aircraft at the time such payment would have become due and payable in
accordance with the terms hereof had this Lease not been so terminated in whole
or in part. The Lessee hereby waives, and hereby agrees to waive at any future
time at the request of the Lessor, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law,
any and all rights which it may now have or which at any time hereafter may be
conferred upon it, by statute or otherwise, to terminate, cancel, quit or
surrender this Lease except in accordance with the express terms hereof and all
rights of "set-off', notice and demand. Each payment of Rent made by or on
behalf of the Lessee to the Lessor shall be final as to the Lessee and the
Lessor. The Lessee will not seek to recover all or any part of any such payment
of Rent made to the Lessor or any Indemnitee for any reason whatsoever and, to
the extent permitted by Applicable Law, waives all rights to any such recovery
and right to seek the same. The Lessor shall not be required to reimburse any
portion of any payment of any Basic Rent by reason of any early termination of
this Lease. Nothing in this Section 22 shall be construed to preclude the Lessee
or the Lessor from bringing any suit at law or in equity against any Person
which it would otherwise be entitled for breach of any representation, warranty,
covenant or duty hereunder.

            SECTION 23. Jurisdiction; Governing Law.

            (a) Each of the Lessor and the Lessee hereby irrevocably agrees
that, to the extent that it or any of its assets has or hereafter may acquire or
become entitled to any right of immunity, as against the other party hereto or
its respective successors and assigns, whether characterized as sovereign
immunity or otherwise, from any legal proceedings, action or suit, from set-off
or counterclaim, from the jurisdiction of any competent court, from service of
process, from attachment prior to judgment, from attachment in aid of execution,
or from execution prior to judgment, or other legal process, whether in the
United States of America or the Republic of Finland or any other jurisdiction,
but only to the extent required to enforce or collect upon this Lease or any
other Operative Document or any other liability or obligation of it related to
or arising from the transactions contemplated by this Lease or any other
Operative Document, including, without limitation, immunity from service of
process, immunity from jurisdiction or judgment of any court or tribunal,
immunity from execution of a judgment, and immunity of any of its property from
attachment prior to any entry of judgment or from attachment in aid of execution
upon a judgment, it hereby expressly and irrevocably and unconditionally waives
and agrees not to plead or claim any such immunity but only with respect to its
obligations or liabilities or any


                                      -48-
<PAGE>

other matter under or arising out of or in connection with this Lease or any
other Operative Document or the subject matter hereof or thereof. Such agreement
and waiver shall be irrevocable and not subject to withdrawal in any and all
jurisdictions, including, without limitation, under the Foreign Sovereign
Immunities Act of 1976 of the United States.

            (b) Each of the Lessor and the Lessee irrevocably agrees that any
legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating solely to this Lease
or any other Operative Document, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby
or thereby or any document referred to herein or therein, may be instituted in
the State or Federal courts in the County of New York, State of New York, and it
hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection
which it may have now or hereafter to the laying of the venue or the
jurisdiction or the convenience of the forum of any such legal suit, action or
proceeding and irrevocably submits generally and unconditionally to the
non-exclusive jurisdiction of any such court but only in any such suit, action
or proceeding. In the case of the said courts, the Lessee hereby designates,
appoints and empowers Finnair, General Manager North America Finnair Executive
Office, or any successor thereof, currently located at 10 East 40th Street, New
York, New York 10016, as its authorized agent to accept, receive and acknowledge
for and on behalf of it and its property service of any and all process which
may be served but only in any action, suit or proceeding of the nature referred
to above in the County of New York, State of New York. Each of the Lessor and
the Lessee further agrees that such service of process may be made personally or
by mailing or delivering a copy of the summons and complaint or other legal
process in any such legal suit, action or proceeding to it in care of such agent
at the aforesaid address, and, in the case of the Lessor, at the address set
forth in Section 21, and such agent is hereby authorized to accept, receive and
acknowledge the same for and on behalf of it and to admit service with respect
thereto. Upon such service of process being made on such agent or the Lessor as
aforesaid, a copy of the summons and complaint or other legal process served
shall be mailed by the plaintiff to the Lessee or the Lessor, as the case may
be, registered mail, return receipt requested, at its address specified in
Section 21 hereof (as the same may be changed from time to time pursuant to said
Section 21). Such service upon such agent shall be deemed to be personal service
on the Lessee and shall be legal and binding upon it for all purposes
notwithstanding any failure to mail copies of such legal process to it, or any
failure on the part of it to receive the same, and shall be deemed completed
upon the delivery thereof to such agent whether or not such agent shall give
notice thereof to it or upon the earliest other date permitted by Applicable Law
(including, without limitation, the Immunities Act). Each of the Lessor and the
Lessee further irrevocably agrees to the service of process of any of the
aforementioned courts but only in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature
referred to above by the mailing of the copies thereof by certified air mail,
postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to it at its address specified in
Section 21 hereof (as the same may be changed from time to time pursuant to
Section 21 hereof), such service to be effective upon the date of receipt
indicated on the postal receipt returned from it.


                                      -49-
<PAGE>

            (c) The Lessee agrees that it will at all times continuously
maintain an agent or an office to receive service of process in the County of
New York, State of New York on behalf of itself and its property with respect to
the parties to this Lease and any other Operative Document, and, in the event
that for any reason the agent mentioned above or such office shall not serve as
agent for it to receive service of process in the County of New York, State of
New York on its behalf, it shall promptly appoint a successor satisfactory to
the Lessee and the Lessor so to serve, advise the Lessee and deliver to the
Lessee evidence thereof.

            (d) Subject to any rights pursuant to Section 23(e), final judgment
against the Lessee or the Lessor in any suit shall be conclusive in any court
proceeding, and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment,
a certified or true copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and
of the amount of any indebtedness or liability of the Lessee or the Lessor, as
the case may be, therein described.

            (e) Notwithstanding subsection (b) in this Section 23, and in
addition to any of its rights to otherwise pursue remedies under or in respect
of this Lease, each of the Lessor and the Lessee shall have the right, at its
option, under all circumstances, to institute binding arbitration, and that if
such arbitration is so elected, with respect to any matter governed by this
Lease or any other Operative Document or in respect of any of the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby, or the breach, termination or invalidity thereof
or in connection therewith, and any dispute, controversy and claim relating
thereto, shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the Rules of the
Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce, with the place of
arbitration in Stockholm, Sweden, and each party hereby irrevocably agrees that,
if either party shall elect to pursue such arbitration, the other party hereto
shall submit thereto and will be bound thereby. The Arbitral Panel shall be
composed of three (3) arbitrators. The language to be used in the arbitral
proceedings shall be English. This agreement shall be governed by the internal
laws of the State of New York (without regard to conflicts of laws principles).

            (f) THIS LEASE HAS BEEN NEGOTIATED AND DELIVERED IN THE STATE OF NEW
YORK AND SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH,
THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICT OF
LAWS RULE WHICH MIGHT RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER
JURISDICTION), INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE.

            SECTION 24. Miscellaneous. (a) Any provision of this Lease which is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating or rendering unenforceable the remaining provisions hereof, and any
such prohibitions or unenforceability


                                      -50-
<PAGE>

in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision
in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each of
the Lessor and the Lessee hereby waives any provision of Applicable Law which
renders any provision hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect. No term
or provision of this Lease may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated
orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which
the enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. This
Lease shall constitute an agreement of lease, and nothing herein shall be
construed as conveying to the Lessee any right, title or interest in the
Aircraft except as a lessee only.

            (b)(i) This Lease constitutes an international transaction in which
the specification of Dollars and the payment at the designated place of payment
is of the essence, and Dollars shall be the currency of account in all events,
including for all payments of Rent and any other amount payable hereunder or
under any other Operative Document. The payment obligations of the Lessee under
this Lease shall not be discharged by an amount paid in another currency or in
another place, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent that
the amount so paid on prompt conversion to Dollars (as quoted in New York, New
York) and transfer to the designated place of payment under normal banking
procedures does not yield the amount of Dollars due hereunder. If any expense
required to be reimbursed pursuant to this Agreement or any other Operative
Document is originally incurred in a currency other than Dollars, the Lessee or
the Lessor, as the case may be, shall nonetheless make reimbursement of that
expense in Dollars, in an amount equal to the amount in Dollars that would have
been required for the Person that incurred that expense to have purchased, in
accordance with normal banking procedures, at New York, New York the sum paid in
such other currency (after any premium and costs of exchange) on the date of
payment of such expenses. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the
obligation of the Lessee or the Lessor, as the case may be, in respect of any
amount due under this Agreement or any other Operative Document shall,
notwithstanding any payment in any other currency (whether pursuant to a
judgment or otherwise), be discharged only to the extent of the amount in
Dollars that the Person entitled to receive that payment may, in accordance with
normal banking procedures, purchase and transfer to, New York, New York with the
sum paid in that other currency (after any premium and costs of exchange) on the
Business Day immediately following the day on which that Person receives that
payment. If the amount in Dollars that may be so purchased for any reason falls
short of the amount originally due, the Lessee or the Lessor, as the case may
be, shall pay and indemnify for such additional amounts, in Dollars, as may be
necessary to compensate for the shortfall. Any obligation of the Lessee or the

in Section 4(c)(iii) hereof) paid to or retained by the Lessor which are
required to be paid to the Lessee or applied for the benefit of the Lessee
(including, without limitation, amounts payable to the Lessee under Sections 10
and 11), but which the Lessor or any Person acting by or through the Lessor is
entitled to hold under the terms hereof pending the occurrence of some event or
the performance of some act (including, without limitation, the remedying of a
Default or an Event of Default), shall, until paid to the Lessee or applied as
provided herein, be invested by the Lessor from time to time at the direction,
risk and expense of the Lessee in Permitted Investments (defined below). There
shall be promptly remitted to the Lessee any gain (including interest received)
realized as the result of any such investment (net of any fees, commissions and
other expenses, if any, incurred in connection with such investment) unless an
Event of Default, or any Default described in paragraph (e) of Section 17, shall
have occurred and be continuing, in which case such gains shall be held subject
to the preceding sentence. The Lessee will promptly pay to the Lessor, on
demand, as collateral security for its obligations hereunder, the amount of any
loss realized as the result of any such investment (together with any fees,
commissions and other expenses, if any, incurred in connection with such
investment).

and warranties, shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of, and may be

Lessee and its successors and, to the extent permitted hereby, assigns. The
obligations of the Lessee under Sections 8 and 19 of this Lease are expressly
made for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnitee entitled
thereto, without declaring this Lease to be in default or taking action in
respect of such declaration under Section 17 hereof.

            (d) The section and subsection headings in and the table of contents
to this Lease are for convenience of reference only and shall not modify,
define, expand or limit any of the terms or provisions hereof, and all
references herein to numbered sections, unless otherwise indicated, are to

            (e) In the event of a discrepancy between the terms of this Lease
and any of the other Operative Documents, the terms of this Lease shall govern.

            (f) This Lease 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
instrument.

possession and use thereof by the Lessee.

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY
CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS

      equivalent of such horsepower).

            2. The Lessee hereby confirms its agreement to pay to the Lessor

            5. The parties confirm that the purchase price paid by the Lessor to
the Lessee for the Aircraft under the Purchase Agreement is U.S. $16,800,000;
and the Lessee confirms that it has received payment in full of such purchase

            6. The Lessee hereby confirms to the Lessor that (i) the Lessee has
accepted the Aircraft for all purposes hereof and of the Lease as being
airworthy, in accordance with specifications, in good working order and repair
and without defect or inherent vice in title, condition, design, operation or

Dear Sirs:

I am assistant Secretary and in-house Counsel of Finnair Oy, a corporation
organized under the laws of the Republic of Finland (the "Lessee"). As such, I
am familiar with the sale, purchase and lease of one McDonnell Douglas MD82
Aircraft bearing Finnish Registration mark OH-LMO pursuant to (i) the Aircraft
Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 30 1992 (the "Purchase Agreement"), among
the Lessee, as the Seller, United States Leasing International, Inc. as an Owner
Participant, Airlease Ltd., A California limited partnership, as an Owner
Participant and Trust Company for USL, Inc., and (ii) the Lease Agreement dated
as of April 30, 1992 (the "Lease") between the Lessee and Trust Company for USL,
Inc., not in its individual capacity except as expressly provided, but solely as
owner Trustee under the Trust Agreement dated as of April 30, 1992 (the "Trust
Agreement") with United States Leasing International, Inc. and Airlease, Ltd., A
California Limited Partnership, as Owner Participants, as Lessor. Terms defined
in the Lease and not otherwise defined herein are used in this opinion with the
meanings defined in the Lease.

In connection with the foregoing, I have examined originals or photostatic or
certified copies of all such corporate records, certificates, affidavits and of
all such other documents as I have deemed relevant and necessary as the basis of
my opinions hereinafter set forth. I have personal knowledge that Lessee
originally acquired the Aircraft from McDonnell Douglas.

For the purposes of the opinions expressed below, I have assumed (i) the
authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals (ii) the conformity
to the originals of all documents submitted as certified or photostatic copies
and

<PAGE>

the authenticity of the originals, (iii) the legal capacity of natural persons,
and (iv) the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents by all
parties and the validity and binding effect thereof (other than the
authorization, execution and delivery of the documents by the Lessee and the
validity and binding effect thereof upon the Lessee).

As to certain factual matters, I have relied upon representations included in
the Purchase Agreement and the Lease, upon certificates of certain officers of
the Lessee and upon certificates of public officials.

Based upon the foregoing and such other information and documents as I have
considered necessary for the purposes hereof, I am of the opinion that:

1. The Lessee has been duly incorporated and is validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the Republic of Finland, with the corporate power and
authority to own, sell and lease its properties and conduct its business, as the
same is presently being conducted and to own, operate and sell the Aircraft.

2. The Lessee has full corporate power and authority to enter into and carry out
the terms of the Operative Documents.

3. Each of the Operative Documents has been authorized by all necessary
corporate and shareholder action and has been duly executed and delivered by the
Lessee. The Operative Documents constitute valid and legally binding obligations
of the Lessee, enforceable against the Lessee in accordance with their terms.

Without limiting the foregoing, a court in Finland would recognize and give full
force and effect to the Lessor's title to and ownership of the Aircraft, to the
rights of the Lessor and the Owner Participants under the Lease and other
Operative Documents, and to the terms of Section 23(f) of the Lease, Article 12
of the Purchase Agreement and the Bill of Sale providing that the Lease, the
Purchase Agreement and the Bill of Sale, respectively, will be governed by the
laws of the State of New York subject to the proviso in paragraph 12 hereof. To
the extent that the remedies provided for in Section 18 of the Lease are
enforceable under New York law, a court in Finland would give effect to the
terms thereof and enable the lessor and the Owner Participants to exercise the
same remedies against the Lessee (however designated) and with respect to the
Aircraft if the Aircraft were then in Finland (including the right to repossess
the Aircraft and to export the Aircraft from Finland).

4. The execution and delivery of the Operative Documents by the Lessee, and the
performance by the Lessee under the Operative Documents will not, (a) violate
the Articles of Association of the Lessee or Lessee's Extract from the Finnish
Trade Register, or (b) result in a breach of, or

<PAGE>

constitute a default under, or result in creation of any Lien upon any of the
property of Lessee, any judgment, decree or order binding on the Lessee, or its
respective properties, or any material indenture, mortgage, contract or other
instrument to which either the Lessee is a party or by which it is bound, (c)
require any stockholder approval or approval of any trustee or holders of any
debt or other obligations of Lessee (except such as has been duly obtained), or
(d) contravene any provision of any law, governmental rule, regulation or order
binding on the Lessee.

5. No consent, approval, notice to, authorization or order, or other action of
any court or governmental agency or body or official is required for the
execution, delivery and performance (including without limitation, any foreign
exchange control or any entity regulating exchange control) by the Lessee of any
of the Operative Documents.

6. To the best of my knowledge after due inquiry, there is no action, suit,
proceeding or investigation pending or threatened before or by any court,
administrative agency, arbitrator or governmental body against, or which
directly relates to, the Lessee which concerns any of the Operative Documents or
the Aircraft or which, if adversely determined could adversely affect the
financial condition of the Lessee or compliance by the Lessee with any of the
Operative Documents.

7. Pursuant to Bill of Sale and Purchase Agreement the Lessee has conveyed to
the Lessor good and marketable title to the Aircraft, free and clear of all
liens other than Permitted Liens.

8. The execution and delivery of the Operative Documents and the performance of
the transactions contemplated therein constitute commercial activities of the
Lessee, and the Lessee is subject to private commercial law and to suit with
respect thereto, and the Lessee is not entitled to any immunity whether on
grounds of sovereign immunity or otherwise, from set-off or from any legal
proceedings in Finland or any other liability or obligations of the Lessee
related to or arising from the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

9. No taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges or withholdings will be imposed by
Finland or any governmental subdivision or other taxing authority with respect
to any payments of amounts due under the Operative Documents provided that (1)
the Lessor is a "resident" of the United States, as such term is defined in
Article 4 of the Convention Between the United States of America and the
Republic of Finland for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of
Fiscal Evasion with Respect to Taxes on Income and on Capital (the
"Convention"); and (2) the Lessor does not have a "permanent establishment" in
Finland, as such term is defined in Article 5 of the Convention, with respect to
the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents or the income from such
transactions is attributable. The operation of the Aircraft

<PAGE>

by the Lessee on flights to or from Finland will not result in the Lessor being
subjected to any additional taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges or
withholdings imposed by Finland or any other governmental subdivision or other
taxing authority thereof or therein upon or with respect to the Lessor's other
income, activities or properties, subject to provisos (1) and (2) set forth
above.

10. The qualification at any time of the Lessor to do business under the laws of
Finland or any political subdivision thereof or any federation or organization
of similar entity of which Finland is a member does not constitute a condition
to, and the failure to so qualify does not affect, the purchase by the Lessor of
the Aircraft, the leasing of the Aircraft to and by the Lessee or the exercise
by the Lessor of any right, privilege or remedy accorded it in, under or in
connection with the Operative Documents or the enforcement of such right,
privilege or remedy; the purchase by the Lessor of the Aircraft, the leasing of
the Aircraft to and by the Lessee or the performance by the Lessor of any action
required under, or contemplated by, any of the Operative Documents (other than
the operation or other use (other than merely leasing from a business outside of
Finland) of the Aircraft by the Lessor) will not violate any now-existing
Applicable law of Finland or any political subdivision thereof or any federation
or organization or similar entity of which Finland is a member or result in any
tax liability (other than taxes required to be paid by the Lessee pursuant to
Section 8 of the Lease) to the Lessor pursuant to the now-existing Applicable
law of Finland or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or any
now existing rule or regulation of any federation or organization or similar
entity of which Finland is a member.

11. Except for the registration of the Aircraft in Finland in the name of the
Lessor as owner with the CAA, it is not necessary to ensure the legality,
validity, enforceability or admissibility in evidence of any of the Operative
Documents in Finland, that the Operative Documents or any other document be
filed or recorded with any court or other authority in Finland or that any stamp
or similar tax be paid on or in respect of any of the Operative Documents unless
court action is taken.

With respect to registration of the Aircraft with the Civil Aviation
Administration in Finland in the name of the Lessor, as owner, and the Lessee,
as operator, none of the Operative Documents other than the Bill Of Sale, and no
document other than a power of attorney, incumbency certificate and certified
corporate documents of the Lessor, need be filed, recorded or registered with
any court, public office or other governmental authority in Finland or any
political subdivision thereof. The delivery of the Bill of Sale to the Lessor,
title to the Aircraft solely vested in the Lessor as against all third parties
and the Lessee's title will be recognized by all applicable governmental
agencies, instrumentalities and courts in Finland.

<PAGE>

12. The choice of New York law and the Lessee's submission to the jurisdiction
of certain courts in New York set forth in Section 23 of the Lease are valid,
legally binding and enforceable obligations of the Lessee, provided that, a
court in Finland could refuse to enforce such obligations if it determined that
such obligations were to conflict with, or violate, any law, decree, or the
public policy of Finland; however, I know of no such law, decree or public
policy that would conflict with such obligation as of the date hereof.

13. An arbitral award properly obtained by any of the parties to the Aircraft
Purchase Agreement to the Lease Agreement pursuant to Section    of the Aircraft
Purchase Agreement or to Section    of the Lease Agreement will in the Republic
of Finland be subject to and enforceable under the Convention on the Recognition
and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards made in New York in 1958 and to the
procedural rules existent in the Republic of Finland.

My opinion is subject to the qualifications that (i) the enforcement of the
Operative Documents may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium and
other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally; and (ii) the
fact the some of the remedial provisions of the instruments referred to herein
may be limited or rendered unenforceable (but, nevertheless, on my opinion the
laws involved and the instruments referred to contain reasonable remedies for
the realization of the benefits of the security intended to be afforded by the
instruments) or by the laws of other countries where enforcement may be sought.
No opinion is expressed as to the availability of specific or equitable remedies
as such for the enforcement of any of the Operative Documents.

I do not purport to express an opinion on any laws other than those of the
Republic of Finland. This opinion is furnished to you pursuant to Section
4(a)(ix) of the Purchase Agreement for your sole benefit, and no other person or
entity shall be entitled to rely on this opinion without my express written
consent. This opinion may not be published or reproduced in any manner or
distributed or circulated to any person or entity without my express written
consent. This opinion is limited to the matters stated herein, and no opinion is
implied or may be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated herein.

Very truly yours,


Kai Soveri
In-House Counsel

                               GUARANTY AGREEMENT

            This GUARANTY AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), dated as of April 30,
1992, by UNITED STATES LEASING INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Delaware corporation (the
"Guarantor"), for the benefit of FINNAIR OY, a Finnish corporation (the
"Beneficiary") (this "Agreement").

                                   WITNESSETH:

            WHEREAS, a Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as the
same may be supplemented, amended or otherwise modified from time to time, the
"Purchase Agreement"), has been or shall be entered into among the Beneficiary,
as Seller, Trust Company for USL, Inc. (the "Trust Company"), not in its
individual capacity, except as otherwise expressly provided therein, but solely
as Owner Trustee under a Trust Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as the

Participant, and United States Leasing International, Inc., in its capacity as
the Owner Participant (each an "Owner Participant" and collectively the "Owner
Participants"), relating to the sale and purchase of the McDonnell Douglas MD82
Aircraft therein described, upon the terms and conditions therein set forth; and

            WHEREAS, the Owner Trustee, as Lessor, and the Beneficiary, as
Lessee, shall enter or have entered into a Lease Agreement, dated as of the date
hereof (as the same may be supplemented, amended or otherwise modified from time
to time, the "Lease"), relating to the Aircraft; and

            WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the obligations of the

the Trust Company.

            NOW, THEREFORE, in order to induce the Beneficiary to enter into the

<PAGE>

            SECTION 1. Definitions. Except as otherwise defined herein, all

the Lease.

            SECTION 2. Guaranty.

            (a) The Guarantor hereby unconditionally (except as hereinafter set
forth) and irrevocably guarantees as primary obligor and not merely as surety,
without offset or deduction, to the Beneficiary

            (i) the performance by the Trust Company, in its individual
      capacity, of all its obligations undertaken in its individual capacity,
      whether direct or indirect, actual or contingent, now or hereinafter
      incurred, under the Purchase Agreement and the Lease, except such

      time after the earlier to occur of (A) the time, if ever, that the Trust

      or Article XIV of the Trust Agreement, all or a portion of the Trust
      Company's or the Owner Trustee's right, title and interest in and to the

      ever, that an Owner Participant shall have (1) assigned or transferred to
      one or more eligible transferees (but excluding any such assignment or
      transfer by way of security), in accordance with, and to the extent
      permitted by, Article 13 of the Purchase Agreement, all or a portion of
      such Owner Participant's right, title and interest in and to the Trust
      Estate, and (2) delivered or caused to be delivered to the Beneficiary a
      guaranty, in form and substance substantially identical to this Agreement
      (except as to the portion of the obligations so guaranteed), by each of
      such transferees or by an entity meeting the qualifications of such
      Article 13 guaranteeing the obligations of the Trust Company, and (C) the
      termination of the Lease; and

            (ii) the performance by the Owner Trustee, in its capacities as the
      Buyer and the Lessor, and not in its individual capacity, of all its
      obligations undertaken in such capacities (except to the extent that such
      obligation or the event or circumstance giving rise to the same is
      attributable to an Owner Participant), whether direct or indirect, actual
      or contingent, now or hereinafter incurred, under the Purchase Agreement
      and the Lease, except such obligations of the Owner Trustee in either of

      excluding any such assignment or transfer by way of security), in
      accordance with, and to the extent permitted by, Article 13 of the
      Purchase Agreement, all or a portion of such Owner Participant's right,
      title and interest in and to the Trust Estate, and (2) delivered or caused
      to be delivered to the


                                      -2-
<PAGE>

      Beneficiary a guaranty, in form and substance substantially identical to
      this Agreement (except as to the portion of the obligations so
      guaranteed), by each of such assignees or transferees or by an entity
      meeting the qualifications of such Article 13 guaranteeing the obligations
      of the Owner Trustee; and (B) the termination of the Lease.

            To the extent that the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder have
been assumed or guaranteed by a subsequent Owner Participant or other qualified
Person in accordance with either Section 2(a)(i) or 2(a)(ii), the obligations of
the Guarantor hereunder shall be relieved and discharged to the extent of the
obligations so assumed or guaranteed by such subsequent Owner Participant or
other qualified Person.

            (b) THE GUARANTY PURSUANT TO SECTION 2(a) HEREOF IS A GUARANTY OF
PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE AND NOT OF COLLECTION AND IS IRREVOCABLE, ABSOLUTE,
UNCONDITIONAL AND CONTINUING AND THE GUARANTOR WANES ANY RIGHT TO REQUIRE THAT
ANY ACTION AGAINST THE TRUST COMPANY, THE OWNER TRUSTEE OR ANY OTHER PERSON BE
TAKEN OR ADJUSTED PRIOR TO DEMAND BEING MADE ON OR ACTION BEING TAKEN AGAINST
THE GUARANTOR.

            (c) The Guarantor hereby agrees that, to the extent of its guaranty
pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof, in the event the Trust Company or the Owner
Trustee fails to perform any guaranteed obligation for any reason (including,
without limitation, the liquidation, dissolution, receivership, insolvency,
bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization,
arrangement, composition or readjustment of, or other similar proceedings
affecting the status, existence, assets or obligations of, the Trust Company or
the Owner Trustee or the disaffirmance with respect to the Trust Company or the
Owner Trustee of the Purchase Agreement or the Lease in any such proceeding) as
promptly as practicable, but in any event not later than 5 Business Days after
the date on which such guaranteed obligation is required to be performed, the
Guarantor shall perform or cause such guaranteed obligation to be performed on
first demand as promptly as practicable, but in any event not later than 5
Business Days following the Guarantor's receipt of notice from the Beneficiary
(a copy of such notice to be sent to the Lessor to the extent the Beneficiary is
not stayed or prevented from doing so by operation of law) stating that such
guaranteed obligation was not performed when required.

            SECTION 3. General Provisions Relating to this Agreement.

            (a) The obligations of the Guarantor under this Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect until each and all of such obligations shall
have been fully discharged in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof.


                                      -3-
<PAGE>

            (b) This Agreement and the liability of the Guarantor hereunder, to
the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall not be affected by and
shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of: (i) the legality,
validity, regularity, genuineness or enforceability, in whole or in part, of any
document or agreement, including, without limitation, the Trust Agreement, the
Operative Documents or any of them, or of any assignment (other than as
contemplated by Section 2(a) hereof), amendment, modification, waiver or
termination of the Trust Agreement; (ii) the transfer, assignment, subletting or
mortgaging or the purported transfer, assignment, subletting or mortgaging of
all or any part of the interest of any Person in the Aircraft; (iii) any failure
of title with respect to the Aircraft; (iv) any merger or consolidation of any
Person into or with any other Person or any sale, lease or transfer of any of
the assets of any Person to any other Person; (v) an assignment or any change in
the ownership of any partnership interest or shares of capital stock other than
transfer permitted by Article 13 of the Purchase Agreement or by the Trust
Agreement; or (vi) any other occurrence or circumstance that might otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable defense or discharge of the liabilities of a
guarantor or surety or that might otherwise limit recourse against the Guarantor
as a guarantor, including, without limitation, any defense arising out of any
laws of the Republic of Finland or of the United States or any State thereof
that would either exempt, modify or delay the due or punctual performance of the
obligations of the Guarantor hereunder.

            (c) The obligations of the Guarantor set forth herein constitute the
full recourse obligations of the Guarantor enforceable against it to the full
extent of all its assets and properties.

            (d) The obligations and liabilities of the Guarantor hereunder shall
not be impaired, diminished, abated or otherwise affected (i) by any setoff,
defense or counterclaim that the Trust Company, the Owner Trustee or the
Guarantor or any other Person may have or claim to have, at any time or from
time to time (other than full payment or performance of the guaranteed
obligations), or (ii) by the commencement by or against the Trust Company, the
Owner Trustee or the Guarantor or any other Person of any proceedings under any
bankruptcy or insolvency law or laws relating to fraudulent conveyance, the
relief of debtors, readjustment of indebtedness, reorganizations, arrangements,
compositions or extension or other similar laws.

            (e) Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, no act or
omission of any kind or at any time on the part of the Owner Trustee, any
beneficiary under the Trust Agreement, the Lessee, or any other Person in
respect of any matter whatsoever including, without limitation, any omission in
performance of their respective obligations under any document or agreement,
including, without limitation, the Trust Agreement or any of the Operative
Documents, shall in any way affect or impair the guaranty hereunder, save for an
express written waiver, release or discharge or the like or variation of its
terms, which shall


                                      -4-
<PAGE>

be effective only with respect to the Person granting the same, or performance
by any thereof of the terms of any Operative Document.

            (f) The guaranty hereunder shall continue to be effective or be
reinstated, as the case may be, if, at any time, payment, or any part thereof,
of any of the obligations hereunder, under the Trust Agreement or under any of
the Operative Documents is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned
by the Beneficiary upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the
Trust Company, the Owner Trustee or otherwise, all as though such payment had
not been made.

            SECTION 4. Guarantor's Waivers, Representations and Warranties.

            (a) Successive Transactions. This is a continuing guaranty and all
rights, powers and remedies hereunder shall apply to all the obligations of the
Trust Company and the Owner Trustee to the Beneficiary guaranteed by the
Guarantor pursuant to Section 2(a), including those arising under successive
transactions, which shall either continue the Guarantor's obligations hereunder,
or increase or decrease them, and notwithstanding the dissolution, liquidation
or bankruptcy of the Trust Company, the Owner Trustee or the Guarantor or any
other Person, or any other event or proceeding affecting the Trust Company, the
Owner Trustee or the Guarantor or any other Person.

            (b) Obligations Joint And Several; Separate Actions; Waiver of
Statute of Limitations. The obligations hereunder are joint and several and
independent of the obligations of the Trust Company and the Owner Trustee and a
separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Guarantor
whether action is brought against the Trust Company, the Owner Trustee or any
other Person, or whether the Trust Company, the Owner Trustee or any other
Person is joined in any such action or actions. The Guarantor acknowledges that
there are no conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Guaranty, and
that this Guaranty is in full force and effect and is binding on the Guarantor
as of the date written below, regardless of whether the Beneficiary obtains
collateral or any guaranties from others or take any other action contemplated
by the Guarantor. The Guarantor waives the benefit of any statute of limitations
affecting the Guarantor's liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof except
to the extent that a statute of limitations shall affect the obligations of the
Trust Company or the Owner Trustee, and the Guarantor agrees that any payment or
performance of any obligation of the Trust Company or the Owner Trustee or other
act which shall toll any state of limitations applicable thereto shall similarly
operate to toll such statute of limitations applicable to the Guarantor's
liability hereunder.

            (c) Authorizations To Beneficiary. The Guarantor hereby authorizes
the Beneficiary without notice to or demand on the Guarantor and without
affecting the Guarantor's liability hereunder, from time to time, to the extent
permitted by and in


                                      -5-
<PAGE>

accordance with the terms and provisions of the Operative Documents, to: (i)
alter, compromise, renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time for
payment or performance of, or otherwise change the terms of the obligations
guaranteed hereunder or any part thereof, including increase or decrease of any
amount due or which may become due or is the rate of interest thereon; (ii) take
and hold security for the payment of this Guaranty or the obligations guaranteed
hereunder or any portion thereof, and exchange, enforce, waive and release any
such security; (iii) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale
thereof, including, without limitation, a non-judicial sale permitted by the
terms of the controlling agreement, as the Beneficiary in its discretion may
determine; and (iv) release (without increasing the several obligations of any
other party) or substitute any one or more of the endorsers or any other
guarantors of the obligations guaranteed hereunder. The Beneficiary may not
assign this Guaranty in whole or in part without the prior written consent of
the Guarantor. The Guarantor agrees to provide to the Beneficiary upon request
copies of the Guarantor's financial statements and a copy of any reports made
available to shareholders by sending the same to such party's address as set
forth in Section 5(g) hereof.

            (d) Guarantor's Waivers. The Guarantor waives any right to require
the Beneficiary to: (i) make any claim or demand or proceed against any Person,
including without limitation, the Trust Company, the Owner Trustee or any other
guarantor of the guaranteed obligations; (ii) make any claim or demand or
proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Trust Company, the Owner
Trustee or any other guarantor of the guaranteed obligations or any other
Person; (iii) pursue any other remedy in the Beneficiary's power; (iv) give
notice of any default by the Trust Company or the Owner Trustee or to give
notice of any matters affecting the Trust Company or the Owner Trustee (except
to the extent provided in Section 2(c)); or (v) make any presentations or
demands for performance, or give any notices of non-performance, protests,
notices of protest or notices of dishonor in connection with any obligations or
evidences of indebtedness held by the Beneficiary as security, in connection
with any other obligations or evidences of indebtedness which constitute in
whole or in part the obligations guaranteed hereunder, or in connection with the
creation of new or additional obligations. The Guarantor waives notice of
acceptance of this Agreement by any Beneficiary.

            The Guarantor waives to the fullest extent possible under Applicable
Law any defense based upon or arising by reason of: (i) any disability or other
defense (other than of payment or performance) of the Trust Company or the Owner
Trustee or any other Person; (ii) the cessation or limitation from any cause
whatsoever, other than final payment in full or performance, of all obligations
of the Trust Company or the Owner Trustee guaranteed hereunder or of any other
Person; (iii) any lack of authority of any officer, director, partner, agent or
any other Person acting or purporting to act on behalf of the Trust Company or
the Owner Trustee, or any defect in the creation or existence of the Trust, the
Trust Estate, the Trust Company or the Owner Trustee; (iv) the use by the Trust
Company of the Aircraft or


                                      -6-
<PAGE>

of the proceeds therefrom; (v) any act or omission by any Owner Participant
which, directly or indirectly, results in or aids the discharge of the Trust
Company or the Owner Trustee or any of its obligations guaranteed hereunder by
operation of law or otherwise (other than of payment or performance); (vi) any
act or omission of the Beneficiary which impairs any collateral for the
obligations of the Trust Company or the Owner Trustee guaranteed hereunder
including, without limitation, surrender, release, failure to perfect, or delay
in perfection of, any security interest for such indebtedness, and the exchange,
substitution, dealing with or taking additional collateral, or abstaining from
taking advantage of or realizing upon any security interest or guaranty; (vii)
any errors and omissions in connection with the administration by the Trust
Company or the Owner Trustee guaranteed hereunder; or (viii) any modification of
the Trust Agreement, in any form whatsoever, of the obligations of the Trust
Company or the Owner Trustee guaranteed under Section 2(a), including any
modification made after any attempted revocation hereof to any obligations
incurred prior to any such attempted revocation, and including, without
limitation, the renewal, extension, acceleration or other change in time for
payment or performance of such obligations, or other change in the terms of the
obligations of the Trust Company or the Owner Trustee guaranteed under Section
2(a) or any part thereof, including any increase or decrease in the amount of
payment due or which may become due, or increase or decrease of the rate of
interest thereon. Until all obligations of the Trust Company and the Owner
Trustee guaranteed under Section 2(a) shall have been finally performed and paid
in full, the Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation, and the Guarantor
waives any defense the Guarantor may have based upon any election of remedies by
the Beneficiary which impairs or destroys the Guarantor's subrogation rights or
the Guarantor's right to proceed against the Trust Company or the Owner Trustee
for reimbursement. Until all obligations of the Trust Company and the Owner
Trustee guaranteed hereunder shall have been finally performed and paid in full,
the Guarantor, for the benefit of the Beneficiary, further waives any right, and
agrees it shall not take any action, to enforce any remedy which the Beneficiary
now has or may hereafter have against the Trust Company, the Trust Estate, any
Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee, and waives, and agrees it shall refrain
from seeking, any benefit of, or any right to participate in, any security
whatsoever now or hereafter held by the Beneficiary.

            (e) Other Representations and Warranties. The Guarantor hereby
further represents and covenants to the Beneficiary as follows:

            (i) The Guarantor is a corporation duly organized and validly
      existing pursuant to the laws of the State of Delaware and has the
      corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted
      and to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement.

            (ii) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement have
      been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the
      Guarantor, do not require any approval or other action of any stockholder
      of the Guarantor or any


                                      -7-
<PAGE>

      approval or consent of any trustee or holders of any indebtedness or
      obligations of the Guarantor (or that any such approval or consent as is
      required has been obtained), and neither the execution and delivery of
      this Agreement by the Guarantor nor the performance by the Guarantor of
      its obligations hereunder contravenes any material Applicable Law, or
      contravenes or results in any breach of, or constitutes any default under,
      any material term of any indenture, mortgage, chattel mortgage, deed of
      trust, conditional sales contract, bank loan or credit agreement, or any
      material term of any other agreement or instrument, corporate charter,
      by-law or permit issued by any governmental authority under Applicable Law
      to which the Guarantor is a party or by which the Guarantor or its
      properties may be bound.

            (iii) Neither the execution and delivery by the Guarantor of this
      Agreement nor the performance by the Guarantor of the obligations
      undertaken hereunder requires the consent or approval of, or the giving of
      notice to, or the registration with, or the taking of any other action in
      respect of, any governmental authority under Applicable Law.

            (iv) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the
      Guarantor and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the
      Guarantor enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms,
      except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
      insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the
      enforcement of creditors' rights and remedies generally, and by general
      principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is
      considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

            SECTION 5. Miscellaneous.

            (a) Amendment of Trust Agreement and the Operative Documents. Each
of the Trust Company, the Owner Trustee and the Beneficiary may, in their
discretion, as permitted by and in accordance with the terms and provisions of
the Operative Documents to which it is a party, agree to amendments of the Trust
Agreement and the Operative Documents, give or withhold consents, approvals or
waivers and exercise or refrain from exercising their respective rights under
the Trust Agreement and the Operative Documents.

            (b) Binding Effect. This Agreement and every part hereof shall be
binding upon the Guarantor and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to
the benefit of and shall be directly enforceable by, the Beneficiary and its
successors and assigns.

            (c) Waivers; Cumulative Effect. A waiver by the Beneficiary of any
right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to
any right or remedy which the Beneficiary would otherwise have had on any future
occasion with regard to any subsequent breach. Neither a failure to exercise,
nor any delay in exercising, on the part of


                                      -8-
<PAGE>

the Beneficiary, any right, power or privilege it may have hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
right, power or privilege hereunder nor any course of dealing preclude any other
or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or
privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and may be
exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights and
remedies provided by Applicable Law.

            (d) Amendments; Waivers. None of the terms or provisions of this
Agreement may be amended, waived, altered, modified or terminated except as
contemplated hereby and except by an instrument in writing signed by a written
consent of the Beneficiary and the Guarantor. The invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the
validity, legality or enforceability of any other provisions of this Agreement.

            (e) Section Headings; Table of Contents. The section headings in and
the table of contents to this Agreement are for convenience of reference only
and shall neither be deemed to be part of this Agreement nor modify, define,
expand or limit any of the terms or provisions hereof.

            (f) Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or any provisions in the Trust
Agreement or any Operative Document, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

            (g) Notices. All communications, notices, consents and waivers

            (j) Jurisdiction; Governing Law.
