                  Section 2.01. The Advances. The Liquidity Provider hereby

                                                                               8

                  Section 2.02. Making the Advances. (a) Interest Advances shall
be made in one or more Borrowings by delivery to the Liquidity Provider of one
or more written and completed Notices of Borrowing in substantially the form of
Annex I attached hereto, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, in an
amount not exceeding the Maximum Available Commitment at such time and shall be
used solely for the payment when due of interest on the Class C Certificates at
the Stated Interest Rate therefor in accordance with Section 3.6(a) of the
Intercreditor Agreement. Each Interest Advance made hereunder shall
automatically reduce the Maximum Available Commitment by the amount of such
Interest Advance (subject to reinstatement as provided in the next sentence).
Upon repayment to the Liquidity Provider in full of the amount of any Interest
Advance made pursuant to this Section 2.02(a), together with accrued interest
thereon (as provided herein), the Maximum Available Commitment shall be
reinstated by the amount of such repaid Interest Advance, but not to exceed the
Maximum Commitment; provided, however, that the Maximum Available Commitment
shall not be so reinstated at any time if (i) a Liquidity Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing and (ii) there is a Performing Note Deficiency.

                  (b) A Non-Extension Advance shall be made in a single
Borrowing if this Agreement is not extended in accordance with Section 3.6(d) of
the Intercreditor Agreement (unless a Replacement Liquidity Facility to replace
this Agreement shall have been delivered to the Borrower as contemplated by said
Section 3.6(d) within the time period specified in such Section) by delivery to
the Liquidity Provider of a written and completed Notice of Borrowing in
substantially the form of Annex II attached hereto, signed by a Responsible
Officer of the Borrower, in an amount equal to the Maximum Available Commitment
at such time, and shall be used to fund the Class C Cash Collateral Account in
accordance with said Section 3.6(d) and Section 3.6(f) of the Intercreditor
Agreement.

                  (c) A Downgrade Advance shall be made in a single Borrowing,
(i) upon a downgrading of the Guarantor's short-term unsecured debt rating
issued by either Rating Agency below the applicable Threshold Rating or (ii) if
the Guarantee Agreement ceases to be in full force and effect or becomes invalid
or unenforceable or the Guarantor denies its liability thereunder (any such
occurrence, a "Guarantee Event") (as provided for in Section 3.6(c) of the
Intercreditor Agreement), unless a Replacement Liquidity Facility to replace
this Agreement shall have been previously delivered to the Borrower in
accordance with said Section 3.6(c), by delivery to the Liquidity Provider of a
written and completed Notice of Borrowing in substantially the form of Annex III
attached hereto, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, in an amount
equal to the Maximum Available Commitment at such time, and shall be used to
fund the Class C Cash Collateral Account in accordance with said Section 3.6(c)
and Section 3.6(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement.

                  (d) A Final Advance shall be made in a single Borrowing upon
the receipt by the Borrower of a Termination Notice from the Liquidity Provider
pursuant to Section 6.01 hereof by delivery to the Liquidity Provider of a
written and completed Notice of Borrowing in substantially the form of Annex IV
attached hereto, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, in an amount
equal to the Maximum Available Commitment at such time, and shall be used to
fund the Class C Cash Collateral Account (in accordance with Section 3.6(i) of
the Intercreditor Agreement and Section 3.6(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement).

                                                                               9

                  (e) Each Borrowing shall be made on notice in writing (a
"Notice of Borrowing") in substantially the form required by Section 2.02(a),
2.02(b), 2.02(c) or 2.02(d), as the case may be, given by the Borrower to the
Liquidity Provider. If a Notice of Borrowing is delivered by the Borrower in
respect of any Borrowing no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on a
Business Day, upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section
4.02 with respect to a requested Borrowing, the Liquidity Provider shall make
available to the Borrower, in accordance with its payment instructions, the
amount of such Borrowing in U.S. dollars and immediately available funds, before
12:00 noon. (New York City time) on such Business Day or on such later Business
Day specified in such Notice of Borrowing. If a Notice of Borrowing is delivered
by the Borrower in respect of any Borrowing after 10:00 a.m. (New York City
time) on a Business Day, upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth
in Section 4.02 with respect to a requested Borrowing, the Liquidity Provider
shall make available to the Borrower, in accordance with its payment
instructions, the amount of such Borrowing in U.S. dollars and in immediately
available funds, before 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the first Business
Day next following the day of receipt of such Notice of Borrowing or on such
later Business Day specified by the Borrower in such Notice of Borrowing.
Payments of proceeds of a Borrowing shall be made by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the Borrower in accordance with such wire
transfer instructions as the Borrower shall furnish from time to time to the
Liquidity Provider for such purpose. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be
irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.

                  (f) Upon the making of any Advance requested pursuant to a
Notice of Borrowing, in accordance with the Borrower's payment instructions, the
Liquidity Provider shall be fully discharged of its obligation hereunder with
respect to such Notice of Borrowing, and the Liquidity Provider shall not
thereafter be obligated to make any further Advances hereunder in respect of
such Notice of Borrowing to the Borrower or to any other Person. If the
Liquidity Provider makes an Advance requested pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing
before 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the second Business Day after the date
of payment specified in said Section 2.02(e), the Liquidity Provider shall have
fully discharged its obligations hereunder with respect to such Advance and an
event of default shall not have occurred hereunder. Following the making of any
Advance pursuant to Section 2.02(b), (c) or (d) hereof to fund the Class C Cash
Collateral Account, the Liquidity Provider shall have no interest in or rights
to the Class C Cash Collateral Account, such Advance or any other amounts from
time to time on deposit in the Class C Cash Collateral Account; provided that
the foregoing shall not affect or impair the obligations of the Subordination
Agent to make the distributions contemplated by Section 3.6(e) or (f) of the
Intercreditor Agreement. By paying to the Borrower proceeds of Advances
requested by the Borrower in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement,
the Liquidity Provider makes no representation as to, and assumes no
responsibility for, the correctness or sufficiency for any purpose of the amount
of the Advances so made and requested.

                  Section 2.03. Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the
Liquidity Provider the fees set forth in the Fee Letter.

                  Section 2.04. Adjustments or Termination of the Maximum
Commitment.

                                                                              10

                  (a) Automatic Adjustments. Promptly following each date on
which the Required Amount is (1) reduced as a result of a reduction in the Pool
Balance of the Class C Certificates or otherwise, (2) increased as a result of
an increase in the Stated Interest Rate or (3) subsequent to such an increase
described in clause (2), reduced pursuant to the definition of "Stated Interest
Rate", the Maximum Commitment shall automatically be reduced or increased, as
the case may be, to an amount equal to the Required Amount (as calculated by the
Borrower). The Borrower shall give notice of any such automatic reduction or
increase, as the case may be, of the Maximum Commitment to the Liquidity
Provider within two Business Days thereof. The failure by the Borrower to
furnish any such notice shall not affect such automatic reduction or increase of
the Maximum Commitment.

                  (b) Termination. Upon the making of any Provider Advance or
Final Advance hereunder or the occurrence of the Termination Date, the
obligation of the Liquidity Provider to make further Advances hereunder shall
automatically and irrevocably terminate, and the Borrower shall not be entitled
to request any further Borrowing hereunder.

                  Section 2.05. Repayments of Interest Advances or the Final
Advance. Subject to Sections 2.06, 2.07 and 2.09 hereof, the Borrower hereby
agrees, without notice of an Advance or demand for repayment from the Liquidity
Provider (which notice and demand are hereby waived by the Borrower), to pay, or
to cause to be paid, to the Liquidity Provider on each date on which the
Liquidity Provider shall make an Interest Advance or the Final Advance, an
amount equal to (a) the amount of such Advance (any such Advance, until repaid,
is referred to herein as an "Unpaid Advance"), plus (b) interest on the amount
of each such Unpaid Advance as provided in Section 3.07 hereof; provided that if
(i) the Liquidity Provider shall make a Provider Advance at any time after
making one or more Interest Advances which shall not have been repaid in
accordance with this Section 2.05 or (ii) this Liquidity Facility shall become a
Downgraded Facility or Non-Extended Facility at any time when unreimbursed
Interest Advances have reduced the Maximum Available Commitment to zero, then
such Interest Advances shall cease to constitute Unpaid Advances and shall be
deemed to have been changed into an Applied Downgrade Advance or an Applied
Non-Extension Advance, as the case may be, for all purposes of this Agreement
(including, without limitation, for the purpose of determining when such
Interest Advance is required to be repaid to the Liquidity Provider in
accordance with Section 2.06 and for the purposes of Section 2.06(b)). The
Borrower and the Liquidity Provider agree that the repayment in full of each
Interest Advance and Final Advance on the date such Advance is made is intended
to be a contemporaneous exchange for new value given to the Borrower by the
Liquidity Provider.

                  Section 2.06. Repayments of Provider Advances. (a) Amounts
advanced hereunder in respect of a Provider Advance shall be deposited in the
Class C Cash Collateral Account, invested and withdrawn from the Class C Cash
Collateral Account as set forth in Sections 3.6(c), (d) and (f) of the
Intercreditor Agreement. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Liquidity Provider,
on each Regular Distribution Date, commencing on the first Regular Distribution
Date after the making of a Provider Advance, interest on the principal amount of
any such Provider Advance as provided in Section 3.07; provided, however, that
amounts in respect of a Provider Advance withdrawn from the Class C Cash
Collateral Account for the purpose of paying interest on the Class C
Certificates in accordance with Section 3.6(f) of the
<PAGE>   15
                                                                              11

Intercreditor Agreement (the amount of any such withdrawal being (y) in the case
of a Downgrade Advance, an "Applied Downgrade Advance" and (z) in the case of a
Non-Extension Advance, an "Applied Non-Extension Advance" and, together with an
Applied Downgrade Advance, an "Applied Provider Advance") shall thereafter
(subject to Section 2.06(b)) be treated as an Interest Advance under this
Agreement for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest
payable thereon; provided further, however, that if, following the making of a
Provider Advance, the Liquidity Provider delivers a Termination Notice to the
Borrower pursuant to Section 6.01 hereof, such Provider Advance shall thereafter
be treated as a Final Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining
the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon. Subject to Sections
2.07 and 2.09 hereof, immediately upon the withdrawal of any amounts from the
Class C Cash Collateral Account on account of a reduction in the Required
Amount, the Borrower shall repay to the Liquidity Provider a portion of the
Provider Advances in a principal amount equal to such reduction, plus interest
on the principal amount prepaid as provided in Section 3.07 hereof.

                  (b) At any time when an Applied Provider Advance (or any
portion thereof) is outstanding, upon the deposit in the Class C Cash Collateral
Account of any amount pursuant to clause "third" of Section 2.4(b) of the
Intercreditor Agreement, clause "third" of Section 3.2 of the Intercreditor
Agreement or clause "fourth" of Section 3.3 of the Intercreditor Agreement (any
such amount being a "Replenishment Amount") for the purpose of replenishing or
increasing the balance thereof up to the Required Amount at such time, (i) the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Applied Provider Advances (and of
Provider Advances treated as an Interest Advance for purposes of determining the
Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon) shall be automatically
reduced by the amount of such Replenishment Amount and (ii) the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of all Unapplied Provider Advances shall be
automatically increased by the amount of such Replenishment Amount.

                  (c) Upon the provision of a Replacement Liquidity Facility in
replacement of this Agreement in accordance with Section 3.6(e) of the
Intercreditor Agreement, amounts remaining on deposit in the Class C Cash
Collateral Account after giving effect to any Applied Provider Advance on the
date of such replacement shall be reimbursed to the Liquidity Provider, but only
to the extent such amounts are necessary to repay in full to the Liquidity
Provider all amounts owing to it hereunder.

                  Section 2.07. Payments to the Liquidity Provider Under the
Intercreditor Agreement. In order to provide for payment or repayment to the
Liquidity Provider of any amounts hereunder, the Intercreditor Agreement
provides that amounts available and referred to in Articles II and III of the
Intercreditor Agreement, to the extent payable to the Liquidity Provider
pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement (including, without
limitation, Section 3.6(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement), shall be paid to the
Liquidity Provider in accordance with the terms thereof. Amounts so paid to the
Liquidity Provider shall be applied by the Liquidity Provider to Liquidity
Obligations then due and payable in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement
or, if not provided for in the Intercreditor Agreement, then in such manner as
the Liquidity Provider shall deem appropriate.

                                                                              12

                  Section 2.08. Book Entries. The Liquidity Provider shall
maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing
the indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from Advances made from time to time
and the amounts of principal and interest payable hereunder and paid from time
to time in respect thereof; provided, however, that the failure by the Liquidity
Provider to maintain such account or accounts shall not affect the obligations
of the Borrower in respect of Advances.

                  Section 2.09. Payments from Available Funds Only. All payments
to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made only from the
amounts that constitute Scheduled Payments, Special Payments or payments under
Section 7.1 or 9.1, as the case may be, of the Participation Agreements and
Section 6 of the Note Purchase Agreement and only to the extent that the
Borrower shall have sufficient income or proceeds therefrom to enable the
Borrower to make payments in accordance with the terms hereof after giving
effect to the priority of payments provisions set forth in the Intercreditor
Agreement. The Liquidity Provider agrees that it will look solely to such
amounts to the extent available for distribution to it as provided in the
Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement and that the Borrower, in its
individual capacity, is not personally liable to it for any amounts payable or
liability under this Agreement except as expressly provided in this Agreement,
the Intercreditor Agreement or any Participation Agreement. Amounts on deposit
in the Class C Cash Collateral Account shall be available to the Borrower to
make payments under this Agreement only to the extent and for the purposes
expressly contemplated in Section 3.6(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement.

                  Section 2.10. Extension of the Expiry Date; Non-Extension
Advance. The Expiry Date shall be automatically extended, effective on the 25th
day prior to each Expiry Date (unless such Expiry Date is on or after the date
that is 15 days after the Final Legal Distribution Date for the Class C
Certificates), for a period of 364 days after such Expiry Date (unless the
obligations of the Liquidity Provider are earlier terminated in accordance with
the terms hereof), without the necessity of any act on the part of the Borrower
or the Liquidity Provider, unless the Liquidity Provider shall advise the
Borrower prior to such 25th day that it does not agree to such extension of such
Expiry Date, in which event (and if the Liquidity Provider shall not have been
replaced in accordance with Section 3.6(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement), the
Borrower shall be entitled on and after such 25th day (but prior to the then
effective Expiry Date) to request a Non-Extension Advance in accordance with
Section 2.02(b) hereof and Section 3.6(d) of the Intercreditor Agreement.


                                   ARTICLE III

                           OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER

                  Section 3.01. Increased Costs. The Borrower shall pay to the
Liquidity Provider from time to time such amounts as may be necessary to
compensate the Liquidity Provider for any increased costs incurred by the
Liquidity Provider which are reasonably attributable to its making or
maintaining any LIBOR Advances hereunder or its obligation to make any such
Advances hereunder, or any reduction in any amount receivable by the Liquidity

such Advances or such

                                                                              13

obligation (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being
herein called "Additional Costs"), resulting from any change after the date of
this Agreement in U.S. federal, state, municipal, or foreign laws or regulations
(including Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
applicable to banks generally), or the adoption or making after the date of this
Agreement of any interpretations, directives, or requirements applying to a
class of banks including the Liquidity Provider under any U.S. federal, state,
municipal, or any foreign laws or regulations (whether or not having the force
of law but of the type with which the Liquidity Provider is accustomed to
comply) by any court, central bank or monetary authority charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof in each case not publicly announced on
the date hereof (a "Regulatory Change"), which: (1) changes the basis of
taxation of any amounts payable to the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement
in respect of any such Advances (other than Excluded Taxes); or (2) imposes or
modifies any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirements
relating to any extensions of credit hereunder in respect of LIBOR Advances
(including any such Advances or any deposits referred to in the definition of
LIBOR Rate or related definitions), other than (i) costs which arise as a result
of the Liquidity Provider willfully contravening or exceeding any operating
limits or other restrictions imposed on it by any authority; or (ii) if the
increased costs would not have arisen but for any assignment to another
Liquidity Provider or an alteration in the lending office of the Liquidity
Provider. The Liquidity Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent
with applicable legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of
its Lending Office if making such change would avoid the need for, or reduce the
amount of, any amount payable under this Section that may thereafter accrue and
would not, in the reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Provider, be otherwise
disadvantageous to the Liquidity Provider.

                  The Liquidity Provider will notify the Borrower of any event
occurring after the date of this Agreement that will entitle the Liquidity
Provider to compensation pursuant to this Section 3.01 as promptly as
practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such
compensation, which notice shall describe in reasonable detail the calculation
of the amounts owed under this Section; provided, that if the Liquidity Provider
fails to give such notice within 30 days after it obtains such knowledge, the
Liquidity Provider shall, with respect to any costs resulting from such event,
only be entitled to payment under this Section 3.01 for costs incurred from and
after the date 30 days prior to the date the Liquidity Provider does give such
notice. Determinations by the Liquidity Provider for purposes of this Section
3.01 of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of making or
maintaining Advances or on amounts receivable by it in respect of Advances, and
of the additional amounts required to compensate the Liquidity Provider in
respect of any Additional Costs, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount
owed under this Section.

                  Notwithstanding the preceding two paragraphs, the Liquidity
Provider and the Subordination Agent agree that any permitted assignee or
participant of the initial Liquidity Provider which is not a bank shall not be
entitled to the benefits of the preceding two paragraphs (but without limiting
the provisions of Section 7.08 hereof).

                  The Liquidity Provider shall not be entitled to compensation
under this Section 3.01 if (1) it shall not be also seeking compensation (if it
should be so entitled) under other comparable contractual provisions in its
other agreements, (2) if its claim under this Section 3.01

                                                                              14

arises through circumstances peculiar to the Liquidity Provider and which do not
affect a similarly organized commercial banking institution in the same
jurisdiction generally, or (3) the Liquidity Provider is not the initial
liquidity provider and America West did not consent to the transfer of this
facility to the Liquidity Provider, for the amount, if any, payable under this
Section 3.01 resulting from events occurring prior to the date the Liquidity
Provider acquired its interests hereunder as shall exceed the amount payable
under this Section 3.01 that would have been due to the Liquidity Provider's
transferor had it continued to be the liquidity provider hereunder.

                  Section 3.02. Capital Adequacy. If (1) the adoption, after the
date hereof, of any applicable governmental law, rule or regulation regarding
capital adequacy and not publicly announced on the date hereof, (2) any change,
after the date hereof, in the interpretation or administration of any such law,
rule or regulation by any central bank or other governmental authority charged
with the interpretation or administration thereof and not publicly announced on
the date hereof or (3) compliance by the Liquidity Provider or any corporation
controlling the Liquidity Provider with any applicable guideline or request of
general applicability, issued after the date hereof and not publicly announced
on the date hereof, by any central bank or other governmental authority (whether
or not having the force of law but of the type with which the Liquidity Provider
is accustomed to comply) that constitutes a change of the nature described in
clause (2), has the effect of requiring an increase in the amount of capital
required to be maintained by the Liquidity Provider or any corporation
controlling the Liquidity Provider, and such increase is based upon the
Liquidity Provider's obligations hereunder and other similar obligations, the
Borrower shall pay to the Liquidity Provider from time to time such additional
amount or amounts as are necessary to compensate the Liquidity Provider for such
portion of such increase as shall be reasonably allocable to the Liquidity
Provider's obligations to the Borrower hereunder. The Liquidity Provider agrees
to use reasonable efforts (consistent with applicable legal and regulatory
restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if making such
change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any amount payable
under this Section that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable
judgment of the Liquidity Provider, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to
the Liquidity Provider.

                  The Liquidity Provider will notify the Borrower of any event
occurring after the date of this Agreement that will entitle the Liquidity
Provider to compensation pursuant to this Section 3.02 as promptly as
practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such
compensation, which notice shall describe in reasonable detail the calculation
of the amounts owed under this Section; provided that if the Liquidity Provider
fails to give such notice within 30 days after it obtains such knowledge, the
Liquidity Provider shall, with respect of any costs resulting from such event,
only be entitled to payment under this Section 3.02 for costs incurred from and
after the date 30 days prior to the date the Liquidity Provider does give such
notice. Determinations by the Liquidity Provider for purposes of this Section
3.02 of the effect of any increase in the amount of capital required to be
maintained by the Liquidity Provider and of the amount allocable to the
Liquidity Provider's obligations to the Borrower hereunder shall be prima facie
evidence of the amounts owed under this Section.

                  Notwithstanding the preceding two paragraphs, the Liquidity
Provider and the Subordination Agent agree that any permitted assignee or
participant of the initial Liquidity
<PAGE>   19
                                                                              15

Provider which is not a bank shall not be entitled to the benefits of the
preceding two paragraphs (but without limiting the provisions of Section 7.08
hereof).

                  The Liquidity Provider shall not be entitled to compensation
under this Section 3.02 if (1) it shall not be also seeking compensation (if it
should be so entitled) under other comparable contractual provisions in its
other agreements, (2) if its claim under this Section 3.02 arises through
circumstances peculiar to the Liquidity Provider and which do not affect a
similarly organized commercial banking institution in the same jurisdiction
generally, or (3) the Liquidity Provider is not the initial liquidity provider
and America West did not consent to the transfer of this facility to the
Liquidity Provider, for the amount, if any, payable under this Section 3.02
resulting from events occurring prior to the date the Liquidity Provider
acquired its interests hereunder as shall exceed the amount payable under this
Section 3.02 that would have been due to the Liquidity Provider's transferor had
it continued to be the liquidity provider hereunder.

                  Section 3.03. Payments Free of Deductions. All payments made
by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and
without reduction for or on account of, any present or future stamp or other
taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions or withholdings, of a similar nature
other than Excluded Taxes (collectively, "Non-Excluded Taxes" and, individually,
a "Non-Excluded Tax"). If any Non-Excluded Taxes are required to be withheld
from any amounts payable to the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement, the
Liquidity Provider shall notify the Borrower and America West thereof and from
and after such notice, the amounts so payable to the Liquidity Provider shall be
increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Liquidity Provider (after
payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) the amount it would have received had no such
deduction or withholding occurred. The Liquidity Provider agrees to use
reasonable efforts (consistent with its legal and regulatory restrictions) to
change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if making such change would avoid
the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may
thereafter accrue and shall otherwise take such reasonable steps as are open to
it to mitigate the effects of such circumstances provided that the Liquidity
Provider shall be under no obligation to take any such action if to do so would
have a material adverse effect on its business, operations or financial
condition or result in its rights, interests or position under this Agreement
being prejudiced or involved in any unlawful activity . From time to time upon
the reasonable request of the Borrower, the Liquidity Provider agrees to provide
to the Borrower two original Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, as
appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue
Service, certifying that the Liquidity Provider is exempt from or entitled to a
reduced rate of United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this
Agreement.

                  Section 3.04. Payments. The Borrower shall make or cause to be
made each payment to the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement so as to cause
the same to be received by the Liquidity Provider not later than 1:00 P.M. (New
York City time) on the day when due. The Borrower shall make all such payments
in lawful money of the United States of America, to the Liquidity Provider in
immediately available funds, by wire transfer to Citibank, N.A., New York, New
York, ABA#021000089, Account Name: Morgan Stanley Capital Services, Inc.,
Account #4072-4601, Reference: America West Airlines, Inc., 1999-1C.

                  Section 3.05. Computations. All computations of interest based
on the Base Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the
case may be, and all computations of interest based on the LIBOR Rate shall be
made on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of
days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the
period for which such interest is payable.

                  Section 3.06. Payment on Non-Business Days. Whenever any
payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a
Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and
no additional interest shall be due as a result (and if so made, shall be deemed
to have been made when due). If any payment in respect of interest on an Advance
is so deferred to the next succeeding Business Day, such deferral shall not
delay the commencement of the next Interest Period for such Advance (if such
Advance is a LIBOR Advance) or reduce the number of days for which interest will
be payable on such Advance on the next interest payment date for such Advance.

                  Section 3.07. Interest. (a) Subject to Section 2.09, the
Borrower shall pay, or shall cause to be paid, without duplication, interest on
(i) the unpaid principal amount of each Advance from and including the date of
such Advance (or, in the case of an Applied Provider Advance, from and including
the date on which the amount thereof was withdrawn from the Class C Cash
Collateral Account to pay interest on the Class C Certificates) to but excluding
the date such principal amount shall be paid in full (or, in the case of an
Applied Provider Advance, the date on which the Class C Cash Collateral Account
is fully replenished in respect of such Advance) and (ii) any other amount due
hereunder (whether fees, commissions, expenses or other amounts or, to the
extent permitted by law, installments of interest on Advances or any such other
amount) which is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration
or otherwise) from and including the due date thereof to but excluding the date
such amount is paid in full, in each such case, at a fluctuating interest rate
per annum for each day equal to the Applicable Liquidity Rate for such Advance
or such other amount as in effect for such day, but in no event at a rate per
annum greater than the maximum rate permitted by applicable law; provided,
however, that, if at any time the otherwise applicable interest rate as set
forth in this Section 3.07 shall exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable
law, then any subsequent reduction in such interest rate will not reduce the
rate of interest payable pursuant to this Section 3.07 below the maximum rate
permitted by applicable law until the total amount of interest accrued equals
the amount of interest that would have accrued if such otherwise applicable
interest rate as set forth in this Section 3.07 had at all times been in effect.

                  (b) Each Advance will be either a Base Rate Advance or a LIBOR
Advance as provided in this Section. Each such Advance will be a Base Rate
Advance for the period from the date of its borrowing to (but excluding) the
third Business Day following the Liquidity Provider's receipt of the Notice of
Borrowing for such Advance. Thereafter, such Advance shall be a LIBOR Advance.

                  (c) Each LIBOR Advance shall bear interest during each
Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate for such Interest
Period plus the Applicable Margin for such LIBOR Advance, payable in arrears on
the last day of such Interest Period and, in the event
<PAGE>   21
                                                                              17

of the payment of principal of such LIBOR Advance on a day other than such last
day, on the date of such payment (to the extent of interest accrued on the
amount of principal repaid).

                  (d) Each Base Rate Advance shall bear interest at a rate per
annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for such Base Rate
Advance, payable in arrears on each Regular Distribution Date and, in the event
of the payment of principal of such Base Rate Advance on a day other than a
Regular Distribution Date, on the date of such payment (to the extent of
interest accrued on the amount of principal repaid).

                  (e) Each amount not paid when due hereunder (whether fees,
commissions, expenses or other amounts or, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, installments of interest on Advances but excluding Advances) shall bear
interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 2% until paid.

                  (f) Each change in the Base Rate shall become effective
immediately. The rates of interest specified in this Section 3.07 with respect
to any Advance or other amount shall be referred to as the "Applicable Liquidity
Rate".

                  Section 3.08. Replacement of Borrower. From time to time and
subject to the successor Borrower's meeting the eligibility requirements set
forth in Section 6.9 of the Intercreditor Agreement applicable to the
Subordination Agent, upon the effective date and time specified in a written and
completed Notice of Replacement Subordination Agent in substantially the form of
Annex VI attached hereto (a "Notice of Replacement Subordination Agent")
delivered to the Liquidity Provider by the then Borrower, the successor Borrower
designated therein shall be substituted for as the Borrower for all purposes
hereunder.

                  Section 3.09. Funding Loss Indemnification. The Borrower shall
pay to the Liquidity Provider, upon the request of the Liquidity Provider, such
amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of the
Liquidity Provider) to compensate it for any loss incurred by it by reason of
the liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds acquired by the
Liquidity Provider to fund or maintain any LIBOR Advance (but excluding loss of
anticipated profits) incurred as a result of:

                  (1) Any repayment of a LIBOR Advance on a date other than the
         last day of the Interest Period for such Advance; or

                  (2) Any failure by the Borrower to borrow a LIBOR Advance on
         the date for borrowing specified in the relevant notice under Section
         2.02.

                  Section 3.10. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision
in this Agreement, if any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation not
publicly announced on the date hereof shall make it unlawful or impossible for
the Liquidity Provider (or its Lending Office) to maintain or fund its LIBOR
Advances without breaking such law, then upon notice to the Borrower by the
Liquidity Provider, the outstanding principal amount of the LIBOR Advances shall
be converted to Base Rate Advances to the extent necessary to cure such
illegality (a) immediately upon demand of the Liquidity Provider, if such change
or compliance with such
<PAGE>   22
                                                                              18

request, in the judgment of the Liquidity Provider, requires immediate
repayment; or (b) at the expiration of the last Interest Period to expire before
the effective date of any such change or request. The Liquidity Provider agrees
to use reasonable efforts (consistent with applicable legal and regulatory
restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if making such
change would avoid or cure the aforesaid illegality.

                  Provider shall have reasonably requested.

                  (b) The following statement shall be true on and as of the
         Effective Date: no event has occurred and is continuing, or would

                  Section 5.01. Affirmative Covenants of the Borrower. So long
as any Advance shall remain unpaid or the Liquidity Provider shall have any
Maximum Commitment hereunder or the Borrower shall have any obligation to pay
any amount to the Liquidity Provider hereunder, the Borrower will, unless the
Liquidity Provider shall otherwise consent in writing:

                  (a) Performance of This and Other Agreements. Punctually pay
         or cause to be paid all amounts payable by it under this Agreement and
         the other Operative Agreements and observe and perform in all material
         respects the conditions, covenants and requirements applicable to it
         contained in this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements.

                  (b) Reporting Requirements. Furnish to the Liquidity Provider
         with reasonable promptness, such other information and data with
         respect to the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements as
         from time to time may be reasonably requested by the Liquidity
         Provider; and permit the Liquidity Provider, upon reasonable notice, to
         inspect the Borrower's books and records with respect to such
         transactions and to meet with officers and employees of the Borrower to
         discuss such transactions.

                  (c) Certain Operative Agreements. Furnish to the Liquidity
         Provider with reasonable promptness, such Operative Agreements entered
         into after the date hereof as from time to time may be reasonably
         requested by the Liquidity Provider.

                  Section 5.02. Negative Covenants of the Borrower. So long as
any Advance shall remain unpaid or the Liquidity Provider shall have any Maximum
Commitment hereunder or the Borrower shall have any obligation to pay any amount
to the Liquidity Provider hereunder, the Borrower will not appoint or permit or
suffer to be appointed any successor Borrower without the prior written consent

                  Section 7.06. Liability of the Liquidity Provider. (a) Neither
the Liquidity Provider nor any of its officers, employees, directors or
affiliates shall be liable or responsible for: (i) the use which may be made of
the Advances or any acts or omissions of the Borrower or any beneficiary or
transferee in connection therewith; or (ii) the validity, sufficiency or
genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents
should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or
forged except as executed by the Liquidity Provider; provided, however, that the
Borrower shall have a claim against the Liquidity Provider, and the Liquidity
Provider shall be liable to the Borrower, to the extent of any damages suffered
by the Borrower which were the result of (A) the Liquidity Provider's willful
misconduct or negligence in determining whether documents presented hereunder
comply with the terms hereof, or (B) any breach by the Liquidity Provider of any
of the terms of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the Liquidity
Provider's failure to make lawful

                                                                              23

payment hereunder after the delivery to it by the Borrower of a Notice of
Borrowing strictly complying with the terms and conditions hereof.

                  (b) Neither the Liquidity Provider nor any of its officers,
employees, directors or affiliates shall be liable or responsible in any respect
for (i) any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or
delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with this
Agreement or any Notice of Borrowing delivered hereunder, or (ii) any action,
inaction or omission which may be taken by it in good faith, absent willful
misconduct or negligence (in which event the extent of the Liquidity Provider's
potential liability to the Borrower shall be limited as set forth in the
immediately preceding paragraph), in connection with this Agreement or any
Notice of Borrowing.

                  Section 7.07. Costs, Expenses and Taxes. The Borrower agrees
to pay, or cause to be paid (A) on the Effective Date and on such later date or
dates on which the Liquidity Provider shall make demand, all reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable
fees and expenses of outside counsel for the Liquidity Provider) of the
Liquidity Provider in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution,
delivery, filing and recording of this Agreement, any other Operative Agreement
and any other documents which may be delivered in connection with this Agreement
and (B) on demand, all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable
counsel fees and expenses) of the Liquidity Provider in connection with (i) the
enforcement of this Agreement or any other Operative Agreement, (ii) the
modification or amendment of, or supplement to, this Agreement or any other
Operative Agreement or such other documents which may be delivered in connection
herewith or therewith (whether or not the same shall become effective) other
than amendments requested by the Liquidity Provider or a transfer made by the
Liquidity Provider either voluntarily or as a result of the mitigation
provisions of Article III or a Non-Extension Drawing or a Downgrade Drawing or
(iii) any action or proceeding relating to any order, injunction, or other
process or decree restraining or seeking to restrain the Liquidity Provider from
paying any amount under this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement or any other

C Cash Collateral Accounts. In addition, the Borrower shall pay any and all
recording, stamp and other similar taxes and fees payable or determined to be

amendments requested by the Liquidity Provider or a transfer made by the
Liquidity Provider either voluntarily or as a result of the mitigation
provisions of Article III or a Non-Extension Drawing or a Downgrade Drawing, and
agrees to save the Liquidity Provider harmless from and against any and all
liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omission to
pay such taxes or fees.

                  Section 7.08. Binding Effect; Participations. (a) This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the
Liquidity Provider and their respective successors and assigns, except that
neither the Liquidity Provider (except as otherwise provided in this Section
7.08) nor (except as contemplated by Section 3.08) the Borrower shall have the
right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein
without the prior written consent of the other party, subject to the
requirements of Section 7.08(b). The Liquidity Provider may grant participations
herein or in any of its rights hereunder (including, without
<PAGE>   28
                                                                              24

limitation, funded participations and participations in rights to receive
interest payments hereunder) and under the other Operative Agreements to such
Persons (other than America West or any of its Affiliates) as the Liquidity
Provider may in its sole discretion select, subject to the requirements of
Section 7.08(b). No such participation by the Liquidity Provider, however, will
relieve the Liquidity Provider of its obligations hereunder. In connection with
any participation or any proposed participation, the Liquidity Provider may
disclose to the participant or the proposed participant any information that the
Borrower is required to deliver or to disclose to the Liquidity Provider
pursuant to this Agreement. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the
Liquidity Provider's source of funds may derive in part from its participants.
Accordingly, references in this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements to
determinations, reserve and capital adequacy requirements, increased costs,
reduced receipts, additional amounts due pursuant to Section 3.03 and the like
as they pertain to the Liquidity Provider shall be deemed also to include those
of each of its participants that are banks (subject, in each case, to the
maximum amount that would have been incurred by or attributable to the Liquidity
Provider directly if the initial Liquidity Provider, rather than the
participant, had held the interest participated and were a U.S. bank).

                  (b) If, pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Liquidity
Provider sells any participation in this Agreement to any bank or other entity
(each, a "Transferee"), then, concurrently with the effectiveness of such
participation, the Transferee shall (i) represent to the Liquidity Provider (for
the benefit of the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower) either (A) that it is
incorporated under the laws of the United States or a state thereof or (B) that
under applicable law and treaties, no taxes will be required to be withheld with
respect to any payments to be made to such Transferee in respect of this
Agreement, (ii) furnish to the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower either (x) a
statement that it is incorporated under the laws of the United States or a state
thereof or (y) if it is not so incorporated, two copies of a properly completed
United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, as
appropriate, or other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the
Internal Revenue Service certifying, in each case, such Transferee's entitlement
to a complete exemption from United States federal withholding tax in respect to
any and all payments to be made hereunder, and (iii) agree (for the benefit of
the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower) to provide the Liquidity Provider and
the Borrower a new Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, as appropriate, (A) on or before
the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete or (B) after the
occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously
delivered by it and prior to the immediately following due date of any payment
by the Borrower hereunder, certifying in the case of a Form W-8ECI or Form
W-8BEN that such Transferee is entitled to a complete exemption from United
States federal withholding tax on payments under this Agreement. Unless the
Borrower has received forms or other documents reasonably satisfactory to it
(and required by applicable law) indicating that payments hereunder are not
subject to United States federal withholding tax, the Borrower will withhold
taxes as required by law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate.

                  (c) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 7.08,
the Liquidity Provider may assign and pledge all or any portion of the Advances
owing to it to any Federal Reserve Bank or the United States Treasury as
collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve
Bank, provided that any payment in respect of such assigned Advances made by
<PAGE>   29
                                                                              25

the Borrower to the Liquidity Provider in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement shall satisfy the Borrower's obligations hereunder in respect of such
assigned Advance to the extent of such payment. No such assignment shall release
the Liquidity Provider from its obligations hereunder.

                  Section 7.09. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement
which is prohibited, unenforceable or not authorized in any jurisdiction shall,
as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition,
unenforceability or non-authorization without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof or affecting the validity, enforceability or legality of such
provision in any other jurisdiction.

                  Section 7.10. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED
BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Trial; Waiver of Immunity. (a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally:

                  (i) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or

         thereof, to the nonexclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the
         State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the
         Southern District of New York, and the appellate courts from any

                  (ii) consents that any such action or proceeding may be
         brought in such courts, and waives any objection that it may now or
         hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any
         such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an
         inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

                  (iii) agrees that service of process in any such action or
         proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or
         certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage
         prepaid, to each party hereto at its address set forth in Section 7.02
         hereof, or at such other address of which the Liquidity Provider shall
         have been notified pursuant thereto; and

                  (iv) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to
         effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall
         limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction.

                  (b) THE BORROWER AND THE LIQUIDITY PROVIDER EACH HEREBY AGREE
TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION
BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM
RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RELATIONSHIP THAT IS
BEING ESTABLISHED, including, without limitation, contract claims, tort claims,
breach of duty claims and all other common law and statutory claims. The
Borrower and the Liquidity Provider

each warrant and represent that it has reviewed this waiver with its legal
counsel, and that it knowingly and voluntarily waives its jury trial rights
following consultation with such legal counsel. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, AND
CANNOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO
ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS
AGREEMENT.

                  (c) The Liquidity Provider hereby waives any immunity it may
have from the jurisdiction of the courts of the United States or of any State
and waives any immunity any of its properties located in the United States may
have from attachment or execution upon a judgment entered by any such court
under the United States Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 or any similar
successor legislation.

                  Section 7.12. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be
executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on
separate counterparts, each of which counterparts, when so executed and
delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts,
taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement.

                  Section 7.13. Entirety. This Agreement, the Intercreditor
Agreement and the other Operative Agreements to which the Liquidity Provider is
a party constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to
the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings and agreements
of such parties.

undersigned borrower (the "Borrower"), hereby certifies to MORGAN STANLEY
CAPITAL SERVICES, INC. (the "Liquidity Provider"), with reference to the
Revolving Credit Agreement (1999-1C) dated as of September 21, 1999, between the

defined therein and not otherwise defined herein being used herein as therein
defined or referenced), that:

                  (1) The Borrower is the Subordination Agent under the
         Intercreditor Agreement.

                  (2) The Borrower is delivering this Notice of Borrowing for

         Class C Certificates which was payable on ____________, ____ (the
         "Distribution Date") in accordance with the terms and provisions of the
         Class C Trust Agreement and the Class C Certificates, which Advance is
         requested to be made on the date hereof.

         hereof, (v) does not include any amount of interest which was due and

         of accrued interest on the Deposits on such Distribution Date and (vi)
         has not been and is not the subject of a prior or contemporaneous
         Notice of Borrowing.

                 [MORGAN STANLEY DEAN WITTER & CO. LETTERHEAD]


                                                              September 21, 1999



America West Pass Through Trust 1999-1C


Ladies and Gentlemen:


     In consideration of each of the Revolving Credit Agreement (the
"Agreement") dated as of September 21, 1999 between Morgan Stanley Capital
Services Inc., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter "MSCS") and Wilmington Trust
Company as Subordination Agent, as agent and trustee for the America West Pass
Through Trust 1999-1C ("Counterparty"), Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co., a
Delaware corporation (hereinafter "MSDW"), hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally guarantees to Counterparty, with effect from the date of the
Agreement, the due and punctual payment of all amounts payable by MSCS under
the Agreement when the same shall become due and payable, whether on scheduled
payment dates, upon demand, upon declaration of termination or otherwise, in
accordance with the terms of the Agreement and giving effect to any applicable
grace period. Upon failure of MSCS punctually to pay any such amounts, and upon
written demand by Counterparty to MSDW at its address set forth in the
signature block of this Guarantee (or to such other address as MSDW may specify
in writing), MSDW agrees to pay or cause to be paid such amounts; provided that
delay by Counterparty in giving such demand shall in no event affect MSDW's
obligations under this Guarantee.

     MSDW hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional
and will not be discharged except by complete payment of the amounts payable
under the Agreement, irrespective of any claim as to the Agreement's validity,
regularity or enforceability or the lack of authority of MSCS to execute or
deliver the Agreement; or any change in or amendment to the Agreement; or any
waiver or consent by Counterparty with respect to any provisions thereof; or
the absence of any action to enforce the Agreement or the recovery of any
judgment against MSCS or of any action to enforce a judgment against MSCS
under the Agreement; or any similar circumstance which might otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor generally.
MSDW hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand on MSCS for payment or
otherwise (except as provided hereinabove), filing of claims, requirement of a
prior proceeding against MSCS and protest or notice, except as provided for in
the Agreement with respect to amounts payable by MSCS. If at any time payment
under the Agreement is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned by
Counterparty upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of MSCS or MSDW
or otherwise, MSDW's obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall
be reinstated upon such restoration or return being made by Counterparty.

     MSDW represents to Counterparty as of the date hereof, which
representations will be deemed to be repeated by MSDW on each date on which a
Transaction is entered into, that:

     (1)  it is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its incorporation and has full power and legal right to execute
and deliver this Guarantee and to perform the provisions of this Guarantee on
its part to be performed;

     (2)  its execution, delivery and performance of this Guarantee have been
and remain duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and do not
contravene any provision of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws or any
law, regulation or contractual restriction binding on it or its assets;

     (3)  all consents, authorizations, approvals and clearances (including,
without limitation, any necessary exchange control approval) and notifications,
reports and registrations requisite for its due execution, delivery and
performance of this Guarantee have been obtained from or, as the case may be,
filed with the relevant governmental authorities having jurisdiction and remain
in full force and effect and all conditions thereof have been duly complied
with and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental
authority having jurisdiction is required for such execution, delivery or
performance; and

     (4)  this Guarantee is its legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable
against it in accordance with its terms except as enforcement hereof may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar
laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights or by general equity
principles.

     By accepting this Guarantee and entering into the Agreement, Counterparty
agrees that MSDW shall be subrogated to all rights of Counterparty against MSCS
in respect of any amounts paid by MSDW pursuant to this Guarantee, provided
that MSDW shall be entitled to enforce or to receive any payment arising out of
or based upon such right of subrogation only to the extent that it has paid all
amounts payable by MSCS under the Agreement.

     This Guarantee shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined
herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Agreement.

SECTION 7.01 OF THE BYLAWS

         SECTION 7.01. CONTRACTS. Except as otherwise required by law, the
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or these Amended and Restated
Bylaws, any contracts or other instruments may be executed and delivered in the
name and on the behalf of the Corporation by such officer or officers of the
Corporation as the Board of Directors may from time to time direct. Such

determine. Subject to the control and direction of the Board of Directors, the

shall not relieve such officer of responsibility with respect to the exercise of
such delegated power.

DIRECTORS IN LIEU OF A MEETING, DATED AS OF MAY 31, 1997

                  RESOLVED FURTHER, that the Treasurer shall have charge and

         name of the Corporation in banks or other depositories. In addition,
         the Treasurer shall perform all other necessary acts and duties in
         connection with the financial affairs of the Corporation, shall
         generally perform all duties appertaining to the office of treasurer of
         a corporation and shall perform such other duties and have such other
         powers as may be prescribed by the Board, subject to the supervision of
         the Chief Financial Officer; and

                  RESOLVED FURTHER, that the Assistant Treasurer, if any, or, if
         there shall be more than one, the Assistant Treasurers, shall, under
         the supervision of the Treasurer, perform the duties and exercise the
         powers of an assistant treasurer and, in the absence or disability of
         the Treasurer, perform the duties and exercise the powers of the
         Treasurer. In addition, each Assistant Treasurer is authorized to enter
         into, execute, deliver and amend on behalf of the Corporation any and
         all letters of credit, uncommitted short-term credit obligations and
