               THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into as of the
               11th day of August, 1997, by and between AIRCRAFT NO.
               1, L.L.C., (hereinafter referred to as "Lessor") and
               ALOHA AIRLINES, INC., a Delaware corporation
               (hereinafter referred to as "Lessee" ).

                                  WITNESSETH:

         WHEREAS, Lessor is the owner of the aircraft described in Exhibit A.
The aircraft, together with the engines, parts and equipment installed thereon,
including any replacements or substitutions therefor and (where the context
permits) the Records furnished herewith and required to be maintained hereunder,
are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Aircraft"; and

         WHEREAS, Lessee desires to hire and take from Lessor for OPERATION AND
Lessor is willing to lease to Lessee the Aircraft under the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth;

         NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and of the
mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the receipt and sufficiency
of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.       LEASE AND TERM, NET LEASE

         A. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Lessor agrees to and
does hereby lease to Lessee and Lessee agrees to and does hereby hire and take
from Lessor the Aircraft for a term commencing on the Delivery Date and ending
ninety-six (96) months after the Basic Lease Term Commencement Date (the
"Expiration Date"). The Term shall consist of (i) the Interim Term (which means
the period commencing on the Delivery Date of the Aircraft and ending on the.
date immediately prior to the Basic Lease Term Commencement Date), (ii) the
Basic Lease Term (the ninety-six (96) month period referenced above), and (iii)
if actually entered into, any Renewal Term, as hereinafter defined. The Basic

executed by Lessor and Lessee ("Delivery"). Lessor will furnish Lessee with 72
hours notice of intended delivery. Lessor and Lessee anticipate that the
Delivery Date will be on or before August 31, 1998 provided, however that Lessor
will have no responsibility or liability for any delay in delivering the
Aircraft or failure to deliver the Aircraft for reasons other than willful
default of Lessor, including but not limited to, the failure of the current
lessee, Transportes Aeros Portugueses, S.A. ("TAP"), to redeliver the Aircraft
to Lessor at the time and in the condition required by Lessor's lease with TAP.
The delivery to and acceptance of the Aircraft by Lessee will be confirmed by
execution of a lease supplement in the form of Exhibit I hereto. The Aircraft
shall be used by Lessee for the carriage of passengers, mail and freight in its
operations as an air carrier certified by the Federal Aviation Administration
("FAA") and for no other purposes whatsoever except for flight crew training;
provided however, any training or check flights

                                        2

<PAGE>

performed with the Aircraft shall not exceed the average training/check flights
performed in other aircraft in Lessee's fleet. In no event shall the Aircraft be
operated in any area excluded from coverage by any insurance policy required to
be in effect with respect to the Aircraft under Section 12 hereof

         B. At Delivery the Aircraft will be equipped with two (2) Pratt and
Whitney model JT8D-9A engines each of which has 750 or more rated take off
horsepower, or the equivalent thereof (individually, an "Engine" and
collectively the "Engines"), and with the major components as described in
Exhibit A. Lessor will perform at its expense all necessary conversions from
metric to US measurements for manuals, supplements and any other documents, in
order for the Aircraft to be operated. Lessor will retain all parts removed from
the Aircraft as a result of such conversion.

         C. Lessor shall deliver and Lessee shall accept the Aircraft on the
Delivery Date in the following condition:

            a. The Aircraft will have a U.S. Certificate of Airworthiness, a
fresh TAP "C" Check (Lessee shall be entitled to observe and will be notified by
Lessor of the performance of the C Check), TCAS and windshear installed, Hexcel
Interiors 737-200 QC Quikbin Interior Kit, and having all Airworthiness
Directives ("ADs") requiring compliance by the FAA complied with.

            b. The Aircraft will be painted in Lessee's livery. Lessee shall
supply the paint and the Pounce Pattern.

            c. The Aircraft will have at least 3,000 hours remaining on the
Airframe's structural inspection.

            d. Intentionally Omitted.

            e. The APU, landing gear and time controlled components shall be in
a condition as delivered by TAP to Lessor.

            f. The Lessor will perform the work set forth in Exhibit J on the
Aircraft prior to delivery to Lessee (the "Additional Bill of Work"). Lessee
will reimburse Lessor for the Additional Bill of Work by means of Supplemental
Rental.

            g. The Aircraft otherwise shall be delivered to Lessee in an "AS IS,
WHERE IS". condition over International Waters near Air New Zealand's
maintenance facility located in Christchurch Base, New Zealand (or another
location as agreed by the parties, if required to reduce tax liability).

            h. All SI inspection items required to be performed through 22,400
flight hours will be performed (compliance without sampling) prior to delivery
and no individual SI items will fall due within the next 4000 flight hours.

                                        3

<PAGE>

            i. All Engineering Orders that have been applied to the Aircraft and
maintenance records required for issuance of the U.S. Certificate of
Airworthiness and U.S. Registration will have been translated into English.
These will include AD'S, major repairs and major alterations.

            j. The Aircraft will be delivered without seats or galleys.

            k. The Aircraft will have no maintenance deferrals, all non-routine
maintenance items discovered during the TAP C check will have been performed,
(upon completion of such C check, the Aircraft will have no required maintenance
items in a deferred status, including but not limited to, any structural
repairs, corrosion, skin replacement requirements, or crack propagation).

            l. All AD's will either be terminated or cleared for inspection
for a minimum of eighteen (18) months from the delivery date except for those
inspections required more frequently than every eighteen months in which case
that AD will be cleared for inspection for the applicable maximum period between
inspections.

         D. Provided Lessee is not in default hereunder, Lessee may extend the
term of the lease for a one (1) year period ("Renewal Term") following
expiration of the Basic Lease Term stated in Section 1.A. hereof. Lessee shall
notify Lessor of its desire to extend said term not less than one hundred eighty
(180) days prior to expiration. of the Basic Lease Term. Base Rental and
Variable Rental, as hereinafter defined, during the Renewal Term will be at the
greater of the then Fair Market Rental Value as hereinafter defined or the Base
Rental rates. Fair Market Rental Value means the amount agreed by Lessor and
Lessee as the price at which an aircraft of the type, age and condition of the
Aircraft could be leased in an orderly transaction under prevailing market
conditions between a willing Lessee and a willing Lessor on the date of such
determination. If Lessor and Lessee are unable to agree on such amount then the
Lessor and Lessee shall each select an independent appraiser skilled in
evaluating aircraft, who shall jointly make the determination of such amount. If
Lessor's and Lessee's appraisers are unable to agree on the Fair Market Rental
Value of the Aircraft, then such appraisers shall select a third appraiser who
shall make the determination. The determination of the independent appraiser(s)
shall be binding and conclusive on Lessor and Lessee. In all cases, Lessor and
Lessee shall bear the cost of the appraiser selected by them and shall share
equally in the cost of retaining the third independent appraiser, if required,
to make such determination.

         E. The Lease is net to Lessor. Lessee will pay all Base Rental,
Variable Rental, Supplemental Rental, costs, charges, fees and expenses in
connection with the delivery of Hexcel Interiors 737-200 QC Quikbin Interior
Kit, use, possession and operation of the Aircraft, including maintenance,
insurance, state and local taxes (except for taxes with respect to which Lessee
is not obligated to indemnify Lessor under Section 9), and risk of loss or other
casualty. Such obligations of Lessee will be absolute and unconditional under
any and all circumstances and regardless of other events, including any of the
following:

                                        4

<PAGE>

            (a) Any right of set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other
fight (including any right of reimbursement) which Lessee may have against
Lessor, or any other person for any reason whatsoever, including any claim
Lessee may have for the foregoing.

            (b) Unavailability or interruption in use of the Aircraft for any
reason, including a requisition thereof or any prohibition or interference with
or other restriction against Lessee's use, operation or possession of the
Aircraft (whether by Law, as hereinafter defined, or otherwise); any defect in
airworthiness, merchantability, fitness for any purpose, condition, design,
specification or operation of any kind or nature of the Aircraft; the
ineligibility of the Aircraft for any particular use or trade or for
registration or documentation under the Laws of any jurisdiction; or Total Loss
of the Aircraft; however, Lessee's obligation to pay Base Rental in the event of
Total Loss of the Aircraft shall terminate upon Lessor's receipt of the Agreed
Value of the. Aircraft in accordance with Article I I hereof

            (c) Insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
readjustment of debt, dissolution, liquidation, receivership, administration or
similar proceedings by or against Lessor, Lessee or any other person.

            (d) Invalidity or unenforceability or lack of due authorization of
or other defect in this Lease.

            (e) Failure or delay on the part of any party to perform its
obligations under

 this Lease.

            (f) Other cause which but for this provision would or might have the
effect of terminating or in any other way affecting any obligation of Lessee
hereunder.

         F. Nothing in the foregoing Section 1E is intended as a waiver of any
rights of Lessee to bring a separate action for default by Lessor of any of its
obligations hereunder.

2.       DELIVERY AND RETURN OF AIRCRAFT

         A. The Aircraft, together with all pertinent log books, flight manuals
and other documents as described in Exhibit B, attached hereto and made a part
hereof (the "Records"), shall be delivered by Lessor to Lessee on the Delivery
Date of this lease over International Waters near Christchurch Base, New
Zealand or at such other location as is determined pursuant to Section 1.C.g.
(hereinafter referred to as the "Delivery Point").

            (a) Upon request by Lessee, Lessor will provide Lessee with a
demonstration flight of at least one hour, but less than two hours, duration,
prior to delivery of the Aircraft. If a demonstration flight is required prior
to delivery, it will be performed by and under the control of Lessor, with
Lessee's flight crew and/or other authorized personnel (not to exceed 3) on
board as observers if desired by Lessee. Lessor's captain will be the pilot in
command and will have the authority to cancel or terminate any flight at his
discretion short of one hour's duration without

                                        5

<PAGE>

incurring any liability for Lessor. If any such flight is canceled or terminated
short of one hour's duration, it will be rescheduled at a mutually agreeable
time.

            (b) Lessor will bear the costs of the demonstration Right including
but not limited to costs of crew, special insurance for such flight, fuel and
take off and landing rights.

            (c) The demonstration flight will be for the sole purpose of
demonstrating to the Lessee the satisfactory operation of the Aircraft and its
equipment and systems. The demonstration flight will be conducted in accordance
with mutually acceptable procedures. Lessor will at its expense correct
Discrepancies (conditions exceeding manufacturer's specifications) revealed
during the demonstration flight.

            (d) The Engines shall undergo a video borescope inspection and power
assurance run at or immediately prior to time of the demonstration flight
performed at Lessor's expense with Lessee as an observer. Any Discrepancies
found not to be in compliance with the manufacturer's maintenance manual shall
be corrected at Lessor's expense.

         B. Upon expiration or termination of this Lease, Lessee will redeliver
the Aircraft at a mutually agreeable location in the continental United States
(the "Redelivery Location"). Subject to Section 6, upon redelivery of the
Aircraft, the Aircraft shall be in an airworthy condition in accordance with FAA
standards, without any maintenance deferrals, with a valid FAA certificate of
airworthiness in effect with respect thereto, in conformance with Federal
Aviation Regulations ("FAR") Part 121, and otherwise with the same equipment and
in the same condition and configuration as when delivered to Lessee, except for
reasonable wear and tear due to ordinary use. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, upon return the Aircraft will not be in compliance with FAR Part
36 and ICAO 16 Chapter 3. In addition, the Aircraft upon completion of the
redelivery acceptance inspection (i) will be free and clear of all Liens, as
hereinafter defined, which result from Lessee's actions or inactions, (ii) will
be fresh from a full "C" check performed by Lessee, under Lessee's FAA approved
maintenance and structural programs including CPCP and all required non-routine
maintenance items discovered during such "C" check, without any deferrals will
have been performed, (upon completion of the "C" check, the Aircraft shall have
no required maintenance items in a deferred status, including but not limited to
any structural repairs, corrosion, skin replacement requirements, or crack
propagation discovered prior to or during the "C" check in accordance with
Lessee's Maintenance Program, and FAA Requirements), (iii) will have the same
paint scheme as when delivered to Lessee, except that Lessee's logo will be
removed, and (iv) will meet the conditions listed in Exhibit C. Upon Redelivery,
all AD's will either be terminated or cleared for inspection for a minimum of
eighteen (18) months from the redelivery date except for those inspections
required more frequently than every eighteen (18) months, in which case that AD
will be cleared for inspection for the applicable maximum period between
inspections. If the Aircraft is not returned in the condition required under
this Agreement upon expiration or termination of this Lease, unless lost,
destroyed or so damaged as to constitute a constructive total loss for insurance
purposes, the provisions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and
effect with respect to the rights of Lessor and the obligations of Lessee,
including, without limitation, Lessee's obligation to pay rental at 150% of the
monthly rate and other charges set forth in Section 19 and

                                        6

<PAGE>

to maintain insurance as set forth herein, without prejudice to any other rights
or remedies of Lessor.

         C. At least fourteen (14) days prior to redelivery of the Aircraft,
Lessee, at its expense, will make the Aircraft available to Lessor for
inspection and at least twenty-one (21) days prior to such redelivery, Lessee
will make the Records available to Lessor for inspection ("Final Inspection") to
permit Lessor to verify that the condition of the Aircraft and Records complies
with the terms hereof. The period allowed for the Final Inspection shall be of
such duration as to permit the conduct by Lessor of the following:

            (a) Inspection of Records;

            (b) Inspection of the Aircraft, Engines (including a full video
engine borescope inspection) and Parts;

            (c) A test flight of at least one hour but not more than two hours
(at Lessor's option, the first hour of the redelivery flight will constitute the
test flight) duration. The test flight will be performed by and under the
control of Lessee, with up to three of Lessor's authorized personnel on board as
observers. Lessee will bear the cost of the test flight including but not
limited to costs of crew, insurance, fuel, takeoff and landing rights. Lessee
will at its expense correct Discrepancies revealed during the test flight.

            (d) The Engines shall undergo a video borescope inspection and power
assurance run at or before time of the redelivery test flight performed at
Lessee's expense with Lessor as an observer. Any Discrepancies found not to be
in compliance with the manufacturer's maintenance manual shall be corrected at
Lessee's expense.

         If the condition of the Aircraft upon such Final Inspection does not
conform to the terms hereof, Lessee at its own expense will bring the Aircraft
into compliance. To the extent the time for such rectification extends beyond
the expiration date of the Lease, the term hereof shall be deemed automatically
extended, except that Lessee will pay monthly rental at 150% of the Base Rental
and 150% of the Variable Rental and the provisions hereof shall remain in force
until such rectification has been accomplished, unless Lessor terminates the
Lease in writing at its sole option.

         D. Each transfer of possession of the Aircraft between the parties
shall be accompanied by the delivery to the transferring party of a receipt in
the form of Exhibit D attached hereto, executed by an authorized representative
of the receiving party.

         E. Redelivery of the Aircraft under this Agreement will occur upon
physical redelivery of the Aircraft to Lessor at the Redelivery Location upon
execution and delivery by Lessor to Lessee of an aircraft redelivery receipt in
the form of Exhibit D. Lessor shall sign and deliver such receipt to Lessee upon
tender of delivery of the Aircraft to Lessor at the Redelivery Location in
compliance with all of the terms and conditions hereof.

                                        7

         F. Lessee will ensure that at return of the Aircraft any and all
airport, navigation and other charges, including but not limited to Eurocontrol
charges, which give rise or may if unpaid give rise to any lien, claim, charge
or encumbrance, right of detention, right of sale or other security interest in
relation to the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part, whether incurred in respect of
the Aircraft or any other aircraft operated by Lessee, have been paid and
discharged in full (whether or not due) and will at Lessor's request produce
evidence thereof satisfactory to Lessor.

3.       CHARGES

         See Exhibit H.

4.       LIMITED WARRANTY; DISCLAIMER

         A. Lessor warrants that it will have good title to the Aircraft, free
and clear of all liens and encumbrances other than the lien of Lessor's Lender,
at the time of delivery to Lessee.

         B. THE AIRCRAFT IS LEASED TO AND ACCEPTED BY LESSEE IN "AS IS"
CONDITION AND WITH ALL FAULTS. LESSOR MAKES NO WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER WITH

SIGNED BY LESSEE'S AND LESSOR'S DULY AUTHORIZED OFFICER OR REPRESENTATIVE.

         D. Lessor will assign to Lessee any assignable warranties of overhaul
agencies performing any predelivery work for Lessor on the Aircraft and/or
Engines. In the event that Lessor contracts for performance of work on the
Aircraft or Engines prior to delivery, Lessor will use good faith efforts to
obtain industry standard warranties for that work and to assign such warranties
to Lessee.

5.       SET-OFF; ABATEMENT

withholding equals the amounts called for under this Lease. "Law" means any (i)
statute, decree, constitution, regulation, order or any directive of any
government entity, (ii) treaty, pact, compact or other agreement to which any
government entity is a signatory or party and (iii) judicial or administrative

of its obligations hereunder.

6.       OPERATION, MAINTENANCE, REGISTRATION, AND RECORDS

         A. Lessee shall conduct all flight operations of the Aircraft only with
properly qualified and properly certified flight crews and in accordance with
(i) the manufacturers recommended operating procedures and manuals and
instructions in effect from time to time, (ii) applicable rules, regulations and
requirements of the government of the United States of America, including
specifically, the FAA, and (iii) the applicable rules, regulations and
requirements of any other jurisdiction in which the Aircraft may be operated.

         B. During the Term, Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, will service,
repair, overhaul and maintain the Aircraft in accordance with applicable
requirements of all U.S. governmental agencies including the FAA. In addition,
Lessee will (i) keep the Aircraft in as good operating condition as when
delivered to Lessee, reasonable wear and tear from ordinary use excepted, (ii)
keep the Aircraft in such condition as may be necessary to enable the
airworthiness certification for the Aircraft to be maintained in good standing
at all times under the laws of the United States, and (iii) maintain the
Aircraft in at least the same manner as Lessee maintains, services, repairs or
overhauls similar aircraft operated by Lessee without in any way discriminating
against the Aircraft, whether by reason of its leased status or otherwise;
provided however, that nothing in the foregoing shall be deemed to expand
Lessee's obligations or return of the Aircraft beyond the return provisions
expressly set forth herein. The Aircraft shall be maintained in accordance with
Lessee's FAA approved maintenance program. Such maintenance will include without
limitation all scheduled and unscheduled overhaul and maintenance, including
line maintenance, and replacement of components, parts, and Engines as may be
required. In addition, Lessee will replace or repair any loss or damage to the
Aircraft, regardless of cause. Lessee will fully comply, at its sole cost and
expense, with all instructions and Airworthiness Directives of the FAA falling
due during the Term ("AD") and will comply at its sole cost and expense with all
Alert Service Bulletins (service bulletins issued by the manufacturer requiring
compliance) falling due during the Term, all in accordance with the terms
thereof in the same manner as Lessee complies with such AD's and Alert Service
Bulletins on similar aircraft operated by

                                        9


<PAGE>

Lessee without in any way discriminating against the Aircraft, whether by reason
of its leased status or otherwise.

         C. Lessee, at its own cost and expense, will promptly replace or cause
to be replaced all Parts which may from time to time become unserviceable, lost,
stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or permanently
rendered unfit for use for any reason whatsoever. All replacement Parts shall be
owned by Lessee free and clear of all Liens, except replacement Parts
temporarily installed on an emergency basis (Lessee will notify Lessor of any
such emergency replacement involving a Lien or Liens in excess of Ten Thousand
Dollars ($10,000.00)), and shall be in as good operating condition as, and shall
have a value and utility at least equal to, and be in a modification status and
part number equal or greater than, the Parts replaced assuming such replaced
Parts were in the condition and repair required to be maintained by the terms
hereof. All Parts at any time removed from the Aircraft 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 Aircraft or any Engine,
without further act, except replacement Parts temporarily installed on an
emergency basis, (i) such replacement Part shall become the property of Lessor
and shall become subject to this Lease 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 Aircraft or such Engine, and (ii) the replaced Part shall no
longer be the property of Lessor and shall no longer be deemed a Part hereunder
and provided Lessee is not in default, title to such removed Part shall transfer
to Lessee free and clear of Liens, except for Liens created by or through
Lessee. "Parts" means all appliances, parts, instruments, appurtenances,
accessories, furnishings and other equipment of whatever nature other than
complete Engine or Engines, which are from time to time incorporated or
installed in or attached to the Aircraft or any Engine. Lessee, at its own
expense, may from time to time make such alterations and modifications in and
additions to the Aircraft or any Engine as Lessee may deem desirable in the
proper conduct of its business, including removal of parts which Lessee deems to
be obsolete or no longer suitable or appropriate for use on the Aircraft or such
Engine ("Obsolete Parts"); provided that no such alteration, modification,
removal or addition impairs the condition or airworthiness of the Aircraft or
such Engine, or diminishes the value, utility or remaining useful life of the
Aircraft or such Engine below the value, utility or remaining useful life
thereof immediately prior to such alteration, modification, removal or addition
assuming the Aircraft or such Engine was then in the condition required to be
maintained by the terms of this Lease. All Parts incorporated or installed in or
attached or added to the Aircraft or an Engine as the result of such or addition
(except those parts which Lessee has leased from others and which may be removed
by Lessee pursuant to the next sentence) (the "Additional Parts") shall, without
further act, become the property of Lessor. Notwithstanding the foregoing
sentence, Lessee may, at any time during the Term, so long as no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, remove or suffer to be removed
any Additional Part, provided that such Additional Part (i) is in addition to,
and not in replacement of or substitution for, any Part originally incorporated
or installed in or attached to such Aircraft or any Engine at the time of
delivery thereof hereunder or any Part in replacement of or substitution for any
such Part, (ii) is not required to be incorporated or installed in or attached
or added to the Aircraft or any Engine pursuant to the terms of Section 6 hereof
and (iii) can be removed from

                                       10


<PAGE>

the Aircraft or such Engine without impairing airworthiness or diminishing the
value, utility or remaining useful life of the Aircraft or such Engine which the
Aircraft or such engine would have had at such time had such alteration,
modification or addition not occurred. Upon the removal thereof as provided
above, such Additional Part shall no longer be deemed the property of Lessor or
part of the Aircraft or Engine from which it was removed. Any Additional Part
not removed as above provided prior to the return of the Aircraft or Engine to
Lessor hereunder shall remain the property of Lessor. Notwithstanding the above,
Lessee shall be permitted to install leased galleys and seats (the "Special
Equipment") on the Aircraft. Lessor agrees that it will claim no interest in the
Special Equipment.

         D. Lessor will cause the Aircraft to be registered in the name of
Lessor under regulations of the United States throughout the Term. Lessee will
assist Lessor in maintaining such registration during the Term. Lessee shall at
its own expense and responsibility cause this Agreement or appropriate
financing statements, so far as permitted by applicable law or regulation, to be
kept filed and recorded at all times during the Term, in such office or offices
for the registration of aircraft in the United States and in such other offices
as may be necessary, or as Lessor may reasonably request, to protect and
preserve Lessor's rights hereunder, and shall on request furnish to Lessor an
opinion of counsel or other evidence satisfactory to Lessor of such filing and
recording.

         E. (i) Lessee will maintain complete and accurate records, logs and
other materials required to be maintained in respect of the Aircraft by the FAA
and will provide them to Lessor on reasonable request. In addition, the Records
will include, but not be limited to, records of accomplishment of AD's, service
bulletins, and any modifications. In addition, all overhaul/maintenance Records
for the airframe, engines, APU and components required by Lessor will be
maintained and supplied by Lessee. All such Records shall be the property of
Lessor and will be deemed Records at the time generated. Lessee will report
hours and cycles of operation, and location of operation, to Lessor upon
request. If the Lessee is required pursuant to the terms hereof to pay Variable
Rent at the time a D Check is being performed on the Aircraft, Lessee will
obtain Lessor's prior written approval, which approval will not be unreasonably
withheld, of the "D" Check Vendor if Lessor has notified Lessee of such
requirement.

            (ii) Upon redelivery of the Aircraft to Lessor, Lessee will return
all Records delivered to Lessee by Lessor as well as all Records generated by
Lessee. See Exhibit E; provided, however, Lessee shall not be responsible for
records and documentation with respect to the Aircraft (as the Aircraft was
delivered to Lessee) prior to the commencement of this Lease unless such records
were delivered to Lessee by Lessor. Lessee's obligation is to redeliver
originals of all such Records.

            (iii) With respect to any Part installed by the Lessee during the
Lease and not removed prior to the return of the Aircraft, the Records returned
to Lessor will include:

                  (a) Part number, description, and serial number (if Part is
serialized); and

                                       11

<PAGE>

                  (b) Historical records, including but not limited to (i)
serviceability status of the Part at installation, (ii) for a time-controlled
Part, total time and cycles, time and cycles since overhaul as may be
applicable, and total time and cycles of the Aircraft or engine at the time of
Part installation, (iii) for a life-limited Part, documentation tracing usage of
the Part since new and all appropriate on-off logs, and (iv) past history,
modification status and overhaul records for components.

7.       MODIFICATION OF THE AIRCRAFT

         A. Except as provided in Section 6C and modifications relating to
seats, and galleys, Lessee shall not make any optional modifications to the
Aircraft, including but not limited to additions, alterations or improvements
without Lessor's prior written consent.

         B. Upon termination of this Lease Agreement, Lessee shall return the
Aircraft to Lessor in its original configuration as delivered to Lessee, or as
otherwise agreed in writing between Lessor and Lessee.

8.       INSPECTION AND RECORDS

         A. While the Aircraft is leased to Lessee, Lessor shall have the right
to inspect the Aircraft and the required maintenance records at any reasonable
time and on reasonable notice (except in the case of an Event of Default where
no notice is required) so as not to delay Lessee's flights or unreasonably
interfere with Lessee's or any permitted Sublessee's operations, including
periods during which the Aircraft is undergoing maintenance. Subject to the
preceding sentence, such inspection shall not restrict Lessor from opening any
panels, bays, doors, etc., which are normally opened during such maintenance.
Upon request, Lessee will advise Lessor of the maintenance schedule of the
Aircraft for the following year and Lessor shall be entitled to have a
representative present at the location of any "C" check or "D" check at all
times during which the work is being performed.

         B. Lessee agrees to furnish Lessor information in such form as Lessor
may reasonably request regarding Lessee's use and operation of the Aircraft
during the term of this Lease as may be necessary to permit Lessor to maintain
its records in accordance with the requirements of all applicable United States
governmental agencies.

9.       TAXES

         A. All payments to be made by Lessee under the Lease shall be paid
without deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies,
imposts, value added type charges or taxes, customs, duties, charges, currency
surcharges, fees, assessments, deductions or withholdings of any nature
(collectively, together with interest and penalties thereon, called "Taxes")
imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any country or any political
subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, or by any group or
organization of which such country at the time of payment may be a member,
unless Lessee is compelled by law to make

                                       12

<PAGE>

payment after deducting any of such Taxes, in which event Lessee shall pay to
Lessor such additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure that Lessor
receives an amount in U.S. Dollars equal to the full amount which it would have
received had payment not been made subject to any such taxes. Lessee shall pay
or cause to be paid, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Lessor from and
against, any and all Taxes imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed
against Lessee or Lessor by any country or political subdivision or taxing
authority thereof or therein, if and to the extent that such Taxes are payable
as a result of this Lease Agreement, the work performed as set forth in Exhibit
J, the delivery and installation of Hexcel Interiors 737-200 QC Quikbin Interior
Kits, or the possession, use, operation or repair of the Aircraft.
Notwithstanding the provisions of the above paragraph, Lessee's obligations
under this Section 9 in respect of Taxes shall not include:

            (i) Taxes on, based on, or measured by, net income of Lessor, or
United States federal value added or consumption type charges or taxes imposed
on Lessor, imposed by the United States of America or any United States federal,
state or local political subdivision or taxing authority;

            (ii) Taxes imposed in a taxing jurisdiction (other than by the
United States federal government or by the jurisdiction in which Lessor is
incorporated in or maintains its principal place of business) for a tax period
during which neither the Aircraft nor any part thereof has been located or
operated in that taxing jurisdiction.

            (iii) Any Taxes imposed as a result of a sale, transfer of title,
mortgaging, pledging, financing, voluntary transfer of other voluntary
disposition by Lessor of the Aircraft or part thereof or interest therein, or
any interest in the Rent or part thereof or any interest in the Lease or part
thereof, unless such sale, transfer, mortgage, pledge or disposition occurs by
reason of the exercise of Lessor's remedies under this Lease upon an Event of
Default, provided however, that Lessor shall comply with any reasonable request
as Lessee shall make concerning the appropriate jurisdiction in which such sale,
transfer or disposition shall be made (with Lessee bearing any costs associated
therewith) unless Lessor determines (and advises Lessee) that such compliance
with Lessee's request would generate an adverse consequence to Lessor.

            (iv) Any penalties or interest caused solely by the negligence or
willful misconduct of Lessor in connection with its obligations under this
Section 9.

            (v) Any Taxes caused solely by a failure by Lessor to furnish in a
timely manner notice or information which Lessor is required to furnish to
Lessee by the terms of this Section;

            (vi) Taxes relating to the Aircraft or any part thereof, or interest
therein, for any taxable period or portion thereof, relating to events occurring
prior to commencement of the Term of this Lease with the exception of work
performed as set forth in Exhibit J and delivery and installation of Hexcel
Interiors 737-200 QC Quikbin Interior Kit or after the expiration of the Term of
this Lease and the redelivery of the Aircraft in accordance with this Lease;

                                       13

<PAGE>

            (vii) Taxes based on or measured by the value or principal amount
of any loan or promissory note (or security therefore) entered into by Lessor
or anyone claiming an interest in the Aircraft or any portion thereof through
Lessor.

         B. In the event any report or return is required to be made with
respect to any obligation of the Lessee, under or arising out of this Section 9
(including but not limited to personal property tax returns), the Lessee shall
(a) to the extent required or permitted by law, make and file in its own name
such return, statement or report, and (b) in the case of any other such return,
statement or report required to be made in the name of Lessor advise Lessor of
such fact and prepare such return, statement or report for filing by Lessor or,
where such return, statement or report shall be required to reflect items in
addition to any obligation of the Lessee under or arising out of this Section 9,
provide Lessor with information sufficient to permit such return, statement or
report to be properly made with respect to any obligation of the Lessee under or
arising out of this Section 9. Lessee shall indemnify and hold Lessor harmless
from and against any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
interest, claims, actions, suits and costs arising out of any late or inadequate
payment of any such Taxes, or any failure to file, or insufficiency or
inaccuracy in any such return, statement, report or information, except to the
extent that the same is attributable to Lessor's failure to timely and properly
file returns which have been timely prepared by Lessee and delivered to Lessor.
If actual notice is given by any taxing authority to Lessor that a report or
return is required to be filed with respect to any such Taxes referred to in
this Section 9, Lessor shall promptly notify Lessee of such required report or
return. Lessor agrees to respond to any reasonable request of Lessee for
information within the control of Lessor with respect to the filing of any such
report or return, but Lessee agrees to pay any reasonable costs, fees or other
charges of independent counsel or independent accountants incurred by Lessor in
connection with such response or request.

         C. If claim is made against Lessor for any Taxes with respect to which
Lessee has an obligation under this Section 9, Lessor shall promptly notify the
Lessee. If reasonably requested by the Lessee in writing and provided no Event
of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, Lessor, at the sole expense of
the Lessee, shall in good faith and diligently contest (and not settle without
Lessee's written consent) or shall permit the Lessee, if desired by the Lessee,
to contest in the name of the Lessee the validity, applicability or amount of
such Taxes. Lessee may contest, or require that Lessor contest, by (a) resisting
payment thereof if practicable, (b) not paying the same except under protest
with funds advanced by Lessee on an interest-free basis, if protest is necessary
and proper, and (c) if payments be made, using reasonable efforts to obtain a
refund thereof in appropriate administrative and judicial proceedings; provided,
however, that, in each such instance, the Lessor shall not be required to
undertake any contest unless:

            (i) Lessee shall have provided Lessor with an opinion of legal
counsel reasonably acceptable to Lessor to the effect that a reasonable basis
exists to contest such claim (provided, however, that no such opinion shall be
necessary in order to contest such claim in meetings with auditors, revenue
agents, or in other informal meetings with staff members of the applicable tax
authority) and, prior to the commencement of any appeal of an adverse judicial
decision, with an opinion of such tax counsel to the effect that a reasonable
basis exists to appeal

                                       14


<PAGE>

such adverse judicial decision (which opinions shall be obtained at Lessee's
sole cost and expense);

            (ii) Such proceedings do not involve any material risk or danger of
the sale, forfeiture or loss of the Aircraft or any part thereof or interest
therein or the imposition of criminal penalties or sanctions against Lessor or
the creation of any Lien other than a Lien for taxes not yet due or being
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, and for payment of which
such reserves if any, as are required to be provided under generally accepted
accounting principals have been made unless Lessee has provided to Lessor a bond
or other security reasonably satisfactory to Lessor (provided that in the case
of criminal penalties or sanctions such bond or other security shall be
satisfactory to Lessor in its sole discretion) to protect against such risk or
danger;

            (iii) in the event that the subject matter of the contest is of a
continuing nature and has previously been decided adversely pursuant to the
contest provisions of this Section 9 by the highest court to which an appeal
could be taken (other than the U.S. Supreme Court), there has been a change in
the law (including, without limitation, amendments to statutes or regulations,
administrative rulings and court decisions) after such claim shall have been so
previously decided and Lessor shall have received an opinion of independent tax
counsel selected by the Lessee and reasonably acceptable to Lessor, which
opinion shall be obtained at the Lessee's sole expense, to the effect that, as a
result of such change, it is more likely than not that the position which Lessor
or the Lessee, as the case may be, had asserted in such previous contest would
prevail;

            (iv) No Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

            (v) Prior to the commencement of any contest undertaken by the
Lessee or any contest undertaken by Lessor with respect to which Lessor is
required to follow the direction of the Lessee, the Lessee shall have delivered
to Lessor a written acknowledgment of its obligation to indemnify fully Lessor
to the extent that the contest is not successful;

            (vi) If such contest is to be initiated by the payment of, and the
claiming of a refund for, such Taxes, Lessee shall have advanced to Lessor
sufficient funds (on an interest-free basis) to make such payments, provided,
however, that Lessee shall indemnify Lessor for any adverse tax consequences
resulting from such advance.

         Lessee shall not be deemed to be in default under any of the above
indemnification provisions of this Section 9 so long as Lessee shall diligently
prosecute a contest in conformity with the requirements of this Section 9C, or
in the case where the Lessor shall be prosecuting such contest pursuant to this
Section 9C, Lessee has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Section 9C
with respect to such contest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a claim is made
against Lessor which, if successful, would result in the imposition of Taxes
under circumstances which would require the Lessee to indemnify Lessor, Lessor
shall be released from its responsibility to contest such claim, or part
thereof, if it agrees in writing with Lessee not to seek indemnification from
Lessee in respect of the claim, or such part thereof to be contested. In the

                                       15

<PAGE>

event Lessor fails diligently to contest, or refuses to permit the Lessee to
contest, a claim or part thereof which Lessor has the obligation to contest or
to permit Lessee to contest under this Section 9, then Lessee shall not be
obligated to indemnify Lessor for such claim or such part thereof and Lessor
shall refund to Lessee any amounts paid or advanced by Lessee in connection with
such Taxes that were the sub ject of such claim (plus interest from the date
payment is due at the rate established for refunds by the taxing authority
imposing such taxes).

         D. If Lessor shall obtain a refund of all or any part of such tax, fee
or other charge paid by Lessee, Lessor shall pay the Lessee the amount of such
refund less the amount of any Taxes payable by Lessor in respect of the receipt
of such refund; provided that such amount shall not be payable (x) before such
time as the Lessee shall have made all payments or indemnities then due to
Lessor under the Lease, or (y) while any Event of Default is outstanding and
continues unremedied. If in addition to such refund, Lessor shall receive an
amount representing attorneys fees, interest or other amount with respect to
such refund, the Lessee shall be paid that proportion of such amounts which is
fairly attributable to Taxes paid by the Lessee prior to the receipt of such
refund.

10.      INDEMNITY

         A. LESSEE HEREBY RELEASES AND AGREES TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND SAVE
HARMLESS LESSOR, AND ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AGENTS, MEMBERS AND EMPLOYEES
(COLLECTIVELY THE "INDEMNITEES"), FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES, DAMAGES, LOSSES,
EXPENSES, DEMANDS, CLAIMS, SUITS OR JUDGMENTS, INCLUDING ALL REASONABLE
ATTORNEYS' FEES, COSTS AND EXPENSES IN CONNECTION THEREWITH OR INCIDENT THERETO,
FOR THE DEATH OF OR INJURIES TO ANY PERSONS WHOMSOEVER (EXCLUDING EMPLOYEES OF
THE INDEMNITEES IN THEIR CAPACITY AS EMPLOYEES), AND FOR THE LOSS OF, DAMAGE TO
OR DESTRUCTION OF OR DELAY IN DELIVERY OF ANY PROPERTY WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING
PROPERTY OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR THAT OF THEIR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AGENTS,
MEMBERS AND EMPLOYEES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE AIRCRAFT, IN ANY MANNER
ARISING OUT OF POSSESSION, USE, MAINTENANCE, REPAIR OR OPERATION OF THE AIRCRAFT
DURING THE TERM HEREOF, (REGARDLESS OF NEGLIGENCE ON THE PART OF ANY INDEMNITEE,
WHETHER ACTIVE, PASSIVE OR OTHERWISE), PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT LESSEE'S
INDEMNITY OBLIGATION HEREUNDER SHALL NOT BE APPLICABLE TO ANY DEATH, INJURY,
LOSS, DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION TO THE EXTENT CAUSED BY (1) THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR
WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF AN INDEMNITEE OR (2) BY ANY INDEPENDENT ACT OF NEGLIGENCE
ON THE PART OF ANY INDEMNITEE NOT RELATED TO THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT.

         Lessee shall be entitled, at its sole cost and expense, acting through
counsel reasonably acceptable to the respective Indemnitee, (i) in any judicial
or administrative proceeding that involves solely a claim for which payment or
indemnity is sought under this Section 10, to assume responsibility for and
control thereof, (ii) in any judicial or administrative proceeding

                                       16

<PAGE>

involving a claim for which payment or indemnity is sought under this Section
10, and other claims related to the transactions contemplated by this Lease, to
assume responsibility for the control of such claim for which payment or
indemnity is sought under this Section 10, to the extent that the same may be
and is severed from such other claim, and (iii) in any other case, to be
consulted by such Indemnitee with respect to judicial proceedings subject to the
control of such Indemnitee. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the
contrary, Lessee shall not be entitled to assume responsibility for and control
of any such judicial or administrative proceedings (1) while an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, or (2) if such proceedings will involve
the sale, forfeiture or loss of, or the creation of any Lien on the Aircraft. An
Indemnitee may participate at its own expense and with its own counsel in any
judicial proceeding controlled by Lessee pursuant to the preceding provisions of
this Section 10.

         An Indemnitee shall supply Lessee with such information reasonably
requested by Lessee as is necessary or advisable for Lessee to control or
participate in any proceeding to the extent permitted by this Section 10. Lessee
shall not enter into a settlement or other compromise with respect to any claim
without the prior written consent of any Indemnitees affected thereby, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed provided that Lessee is
solely responsible for any recoveries or awards pursuant to such settlement or
other compromise.

         B. Lessee shall be liable for and shall indemnify and save harmless
Lessor from any amounts payable by Lessor to any third party as a result of any
breach by Lessee of the terms and conditions of use of the Aircraft set forth in
this Agreement, together with any costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in
connection therewith.

         C. The indemnities contained in this Section 10 will continue in full
force and effect notwithstanding the expiration or other termination of this
Agreement or the letting of the Aircraft hereunder.

11.      LOSS OF OR DAMAGE TO AIRCRAFT; AGREED VALUE

         A. Except to the extent that any loss or damage is caused by the
willful misconduct of Lessor, Lessee shall be liable to Lessor for, and shall
indemnify and save Lessor harmless from, any loss of or damage to the Aircraft
(including Engines, Parts, assemblies and components) occurring while leased to
Lessee hereunder or while in the possession, custody or control of Lessee and
arising from any cause whatsoever.

         B. Total Loss with respect to the Aircraft, or any Engine means any of
the following with respect to such property: (i) the loss of such property or of
the use thereof due to the destruction of or damage to such property which
renders repair uneconomic or which renders such property permanently unfit for
the uses permitted in Section 1A above for any reason whatsoever; (ii) any
damage to such property which results in an insurance settlement with respect to
such property on the basis of a total loss, or a constructive total loss; (iii)
the theft or disappearance of such property, or the confiscation, condemnation,
or seizure of, or requisition of title to, or loss of such property by any
governmental authority which shall have resulted in the loss of title or
possession of such property by Lessee for a period in excess of sixty (60) days.

                                       17


<PAGE>

         C. Lessor and Lessee hereby agree and fix the Agreed Value of the
Aircraft (together with all assorted equipment installed therein) to be
$11,000,000. The Agreed Value will decrease by 5% on each annual anniversary of
the Delivery Date. In the event the Aircraft shall become a Total Loss, Lessee
shall immediately notify Lessor thereof and Lessee shall within sixty (60) days
of such loss pay to Lessor in cash the Agreed Value of the Aircraft less any
hull insurance proceeds paid to Lessor in accordance with Section 12.B. below,
and Lessee shall further continue to pay Lessor the Base Rental for each day
between the day the Aircraft is lost or damaged as provided above and the day
Lessor receives the full Agreed Value for the Aircraft.

         D. Upon the Total Loss of an Engine not then installed in the Aircraft,
or a Total Loss of an Engine installed in the Aircraft not involving a Total
Loss of the Aircraft, Lessee shall give Lessor prompt written notice thereof and
Lessee shall replace such Engine within a reasonable time period but not to
exceed thirty (30) days of such Total Loss by duly conveying or causing to be
conveyed to Lessor as a replacement for such Engine, good and marketable title
to another engine reasonably acceptable to Lessor, which engine shall be free
and clear of all liens and encumbrances, shall have a value and utility at least
equal to and be in as good operating condition, as the Engine which sustained
the Total Loss, assuming such Engine was in the condition required to be
maintained hereunder. Such replacement engine, after reasonable approval and
acceptance by Lessor, shall be deemed an "Engine" as defined herein. Provided
Lessee is not in default hereunder, Lessor will then convey to Lessee title,
free and clear of all Liens, except for Liens created by or through Lessee, to
the Engine that sustained the Total Loss. Lessee's obligation to pay the Base
Rental, Variable Rental, Supplemental Rental, and other charges shall continue
in full force and effect, but Lessee shall be entitled to be reimbursed by
Lessor by the amount of insurance proceeds, if any, received by Lessor on
account of the insurance required to be carried by Lessee with respect to such
replaced Engine.

12.      INSURANCE

         Lessee will, at its own expense, procure and maintain in full force and
effect during the term of this Agreement (covering the Aircraft and the Engines
anywhere in the world where Lessee operates), a policy or policies of insurance,
with a responsible insurance company or companies active in the airline
industry, of the types and in the minimum amounts set forth below:

         A. (i) Comprehensive Airline Insurance in an amount which will produce
single limit per occurrence coverage of at least Three Hundred Million Dollars
($300,000,000), provided that if Lessee carries a higher liability limit fleet
wide, then Lessee will furnish such higher limits hereunder.

            (ii) Lessee shall cause the aforesaid insurance policies to be duly
and properly endorsed by Lessee's insurance underwriters:

                  (a) To name Lessor and its directors, officers, agents,
members and employees as additional insureds thereunder;

                                       18

<PAGE>

                  (b) To provide said insurance shall be primary insurance and
any other insurance policy or policies of Lessor shall be excess insurance;

                  (c) To cover the contractual liability assumed by Lessee under
this Agreement including, but not limited to, any liabilities and indemnities
assumed by Lessee under any supplements to this Lease hereafter executed by
Lessor and Lessee, however, such coverage is only to the extent of coverage
afforded under the policies;

                  (d) The policies will contain cross liability and severability
of interest clauses.

         B. (i) Aircraft Hull Insurance -- All-Risk, in the amount designated in
Section 11.C., as the Agreed Value of the Aircraft.

            (ii) Lessee shall cause said Aircraft hull insurance policy to be
duly and properly endorsed by Lessee's insurance underwriters:

                  (a) To provide that all physical damage losses with respect to
the Aircraft will be adjusted with Lessee (subject to the approval of Lessor).
In the event of a Total Loss of the Aircraft, Lessor is named as sole loss payee
for all insurance proceeds up to the Agreed Value. With respect to damage or
loss not constituting a Total Loss of the Aircraft, the Lessor is named as sole
loss payee in respect of all insurance proceeds where such insurance proceeds
exceed US $500,000.00. Said proceeds will be applied by Lessor toward payment of
repairs of damage claimed unless Lessor waives this provision and permits
payment of insurance proceeds directly to Lessee or the facility effecting
repairs. Such insurance proceeds which are not in excess of US $500,000.00 shall
be payable solely to Lessee; provided that upon receipt by Insurers and the
insurance broker of written notice from Lessor that a Default or an Event of
Default on the part of Lessee has occurred and is continuing, all payments up to
the Agreed Value will be made to Lessor. In all cases, any insurance proceeds,
as a result of policies carried by Lessee, in excess of the Agreed Value will be
payable solely to Lessee.

                  (b) To waive any and all rights to subrogation that insurers
may or could have against Lessor and its directors, officers, agents and
employees by virtue of such insurance policy, regardless of any negligence
(whether active, passive or otherwise) on the part of Lessor its directors,
officers, agents or employees in connection with the leasing of the Aircraft
hereunder or in the performance of this Lease, but such waiver of rights of
subrogation shall only be to the same extent Lessee has waived its rights of
recovery against or agreed to indemnify Lessor, its directors, officers, agents
and employees elsewhere in this Lease.

            (iii) All Risk Property Insurance (including in-transit coverage on
any Engine covering any damage which may occur while in Lessee's care, custody
or control but not then attached to an aircraft) on a replacement value basis
during all periods from their delivery to Lessee by Lessor until their
redelivery to Lessor by Lessee.

                                       19

<PAGE>

         C. Lessee shall cause the aforesaid insurance policies to be duly and
properly endorsed by Lessee's insurance underwriters to provide that Lessor be
given not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice in the event that
either Lessee or Lessee's insurance underwriters desire to amend, materially
change the policies in a manner adverse to Lessor, cancel or terminate said
policy or policies or any part or parts thereof, except war risk coverages, in
which case notice of cancellation shall not be less then seven (7) days or such
lesser period as may be customary in the industry from time to time.

         D. Lessee shall, with respect to any losses payable in connection with
the Aircraft, Engines or any of its Parts, cause its insurers promptly to adjust
the same with Lessee, subject to Lessor's approval and shall be payable directly
to Lessor; provided, however: (i) final decision with respect to any adjusted
claim shall be made solely by Lessor, and (ii) the insurance proceeds of any
adjusted claim will be applied by Lessor toward payment of repairs of damage
claimed.

         E. Lessee shall furnish Lessor with acceptable certificates of
insurance evidencing the coverage and endorsements as required herein. Such
certificates shall be delivered to Lessor not less than five days prior to the
delivery of the Aircraft. Renewal certificates shall be provided to Lessor not
less than 10 days prior to any policy expiration.

         F. All policies shall contain a "Breach of Warranty" clause in behalf
of Lessor.

         G. All insurance coverages listed in Section 12B above will include war
risk, hijack, terrorism and confiscation coverage in the amounts listed therein.

         H. Lessee will not operate the Aircraft or any Engine in an area or on
any route excluded from coverage by any insurance required under this Section
12.

         I. Lessor and Lessee shall each be permitted to carry insurance with
coverage limits which are in addition to/excess over what is required by
Sections 12A, 12B and 12G, provided such insurance does not adversely affect
and/or prejudice the insurance required by those sections.

13.      COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS

         Lessee agrees that the Aircraft leased hereunder shall not be used in
any manner which shall violate any law or regulation of any government or
governmental agency having jurisdiction and that any fine, penalty, or
forfeiture resulting from any such violation shall be the sole responsibility of
Lessee and Lessee agrees to indemnify and save Lessor harmless from all
liability therefor. Lessee agrees that it shall procure and maintain at its own
expense all certificates, permits and licenses, as may be required, and shall
give all notices required in connection with such possession, operation or use.
Lessee shall furnish Lessor with such documentary evidence of the procurement of
such certificates, permits and licenses as may be requested by Lessor. Lessee
agrees that while the Aircraft is leased hereunder, the Aircraft shall be
retained by Lessee in its possession, custody and control, unless otherwise

14.      TITLE TO AIRCRAFT

         A. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, title to the
Aircraft, including Engines, accessories and other equipment of every nature
which are physically attached to or in operation on the Aircraft and title to
any other engines and personal property furnished or supplied by Lessor to
Lessee hereunder shall be and remain in Lessor's name at all times. Lessee
shall have no right, title or interest in the Aircraft except as provided in
this Lease. Lessee shall not directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or
suffer to exist any Lien (any mortgage, pledge, lien, charge, encumbrance,
lease, exercise of rights, security interest or claim) on or with respect to
the Aircraft or any Engine, title thereto or any interest therein, except (i)
the respective rights of Lessor and Lessee as herein provided; (ii) Lessor's
Liens (Liens arising as a result of (a) claims against Lessor not related to
the transactions contemplated by this Lease; (b) acts of Lessor, not
contemplated and expressly permitted under this Lease; or (b) taxes imposed
against Lessor which are not indemnified against by Lessee pursuant to
Article 9) with respect to the Aircraft or any Engine; (iii) Liens for Taxes
either not yet due or being contested in accordance with Section 9 hereof and
so long as adequate reserves are maintained with respect to such Liens; and
(iv) inchoate materialmen's, mechanics', workmen's, repairmen's, employees'
or other like Liens arising in the ordinary course of business, which either
are not delinquent or are begin contested in good faith by Lessee, so long as
the Aircraft or such Engine is not in danger of being lost, sold,
confiscated, forfeited or seized as a result of any such Lien provided,
however, that Lessee has established cash reserves in an amount necessary to
discharge any such Lien. Lessee shall promptly, at its own expense, take such
action as may be necessary to duly discharge any Lien (except for the Liens
referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 14) if the same shall
arise at any time with respect to the Aircraft or any Engine. Lessee shall
promptly pay and discharge when due, or make adequate provision (by way of
security or otherwise) for, or procure that the same are paid and discharged,
all debts, claims, liabilities or obligations whatsoever created by it or any
other Person, or arising as a result of any matter concerning it or any other
Person, which may give rise to any Lien on the Aircraft or any Engine,
including, without limitation, any landing fee, air navigation or similar
charges. Lessee agrees to indemnify and save Lessor harmless from and against
all damages suffered by Lessor including costs and expenses incident thereto,
as the result of Lessee's failure to perform the undertaking herein in this
paragraph provided for.

         B. Lessee shall attach a permanent placard, to be furnished by Lessor,
to the forward side of the cockpit and cabin door adjacent to the Certificate of
Aircraft Registration in the interior of the Aircraft indicating that the
Aircraft is being operated by Lessee in accordance with a Lease Agreement
between Lessee and Lessor and Lessee shall not remove same nor permit it to be
removed and shall immediately replace such placard if it should become lost,
illegible, damaged or destroyed. The placard shall state:

                "Aircraft Serial No. 23051 is owned by Aircraft No.
                1, L.L.C. ("Lessor") subject to a mortgage in favor
                of Barnett Bank, N.A. It is being operated by Aloha
                Airlines, Inc., pursuant to a Lease Agreement between
                Lessor and Aloha Airlines, Inc., as Lessee.

                ILLINOIS 60191"

         C. Lessee shall also cause a placard, to be furnished by Lessor, to be
attached to each Engine at all times during the Lease Term and until redelivery
to Lessor pursuant to the Lease, as follows:

                "This Engine is owned by Aircraft No. 1, L.L.C, 1100
                N. Wood Dale Road, Wood Dale, Illinois 60191, subject
                to a mortgage in favor of Barnett Bank, N.A."

15.      ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLEASE, POSSESSION AND USE

         A. Lessee shall neither assign this Agreement in whole or in part nor
sublease the Aircraft or transfer the custody or possession thereof to any third
party, except with the prior written consent of Lessor; provided, however,
Lessee may sublease the Aircraft to a commercial air carrier from the list
attached as Exhibit G or such other commercial air carrier as is approved in
writing by Lessor, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld (a "Permitted
Sublessee"); provided further, that at any time during the Term Lessor may, by
notice to Lessee, notify Lessee that any entity on said Exhibit G no longer
constitutes a Permitted Sublessee (which determination shall be made on a
reasonable basis by the Lessor) whereupon such entity shall no longer constitute
a Permitted Sublessee, provided that Lessor may not remove an entity from such
list during a lease to such Permitted Sublessee.

         The following conditions must be met in connection with any such
sublease:

         (i) the sublease agreement is assigned to Lessor as security on or
before its effective date pursuant to documentation in form and content
reasonably acceptable to Lessor;

         (ii) all rent payable by the sublessee under such sublease agreement
shall be payable directly by the sublessee to Lessor, provided that so long as
no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, Lessor shall pay
to Lessee out of each payment received from sublessee, the excess of the
sublease rental over the amounts due hereunder.

         Further, with respect to any such sublease:

         (a) the term of such sublease (including without limitation, any option
of the sublessee to renew or extend the sublease) shall not extend beyond the
Term;

         (b) the rights of the sublessee shall be subject and subordinate to all
the terms of this Lease, including without limitation the right of repossession
pursuant to Section 17 and to avoid such sublessee's right to possession upon
such repossession;

         (c) the Lessee shall remain primarily liable hereunder for the
performance of all the terms of this Lease to the same extent as if any such
sublease had not occurred;

                                       22

<PAGE>

         (d) any sublease permitted by Section 15.A. shall provide that (i) the
Aircraft, Airframe or Engine may not be operated or used other than as provided
in Sections 6 and 15 hereof, (ii) Lessor may avoid or terminate such sublease
following an Event of Default hereunder, and (iii) to the extent not
accomplished by an assignment of sublease, upon an Event of Default such
sublease shall automatically be deemed assigned to Lessor until such time as the
event of default has been cured;

         (e) no sublease of the Aircraft or any Engine shall in any way destroy
or diminish any of Lessor's rights hereunder and such rights shall continue as
if such sublease or transfer has not occurred;

         (f) with respect to any sublease permitted by Section 15.A., at least
ten (10) Business Days prior to such sublease becoming effective Lessee shall
furnish a copy of such sublease to Lessor for Lessor's review to determine that
the sublease is in compliance with the provisions hereof. Lessee shall reimburse
Lessor for Lessor's out-of-pocket costs and legal fees in connection with its
review of such document;

         (g) any sublease permitted by Section 15.A. shall expressly provide (x)
that such sublessee will not transfer possession or control of the Aircraft,
Airframe or Engine to anyone other than Lessee or Lessor, except to the extent
permitted pursuant to Section 15B of this Lease, and (y) that all rights of the
sublessee are subject and subordinate to all the terms of this Lease including,
without limitation, in each instance, Lessor's rights to repossession pursuant
to Section 17 and Lessor's rights to avoid such sublessee's right to possession
upon such repossession;

         (h) such sublease shall include appropriate provisions (whether by
requiring such obligations to be performed by the sublessee, Lessee, or both)
for the operation, maintenance and insurance of the Aircraft and the Engines
subleased thereby which are comparable to, or more restrictive than, the
provisions of this Lease; provided the foregoing conditions are met, sublessee
will be permitted to operate the Aircraft under the maintenance program of the
sublessee and in accordance with applicable laws governing sublessee's
operations and, provided, that Lessor and Lessor's lender have received an
opinion of counsel satisfactory to Lessor and Lessor's lender with respect to
title and perfection of security interests, sublessee will be permitted to
operate the Aircraft on the registry and with a certificate of airworthiness
where the sublessee is located; and

         (i) any such sublease shall expressly prohibit any assignment or
further sublease of the Aircraft, the Airframe or any Engine and any of the
rights under such sublease.

         B. Lessee shall not transfer possession of the Aircraft to any person
provided that, so long as no Event of Default or event which could constitute an
Event of Default (as defined herein), but for the lapse of time or the giving of
notice or both, shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessee may, without the
prior written consent of Lessor:

                                       23

<PAGE>

            (i) subject any Engine to, in each case, agreements (customary in
the airline industry and entered into in the ordinary course of its business)
with an FAA certified licensed engine overhaul agency, provided that: (a) no
such agreement or arrangement results in or requires the transfer of title to
such Engine; or (b) if Lessor's title to such Engine shall be divested under any
such agreement or arrangement, such divestiture shall be deemed to be a Total
Loss with respect to such Engine and Lessee shall comply with Section 11 hereof
in respect thereof;

            (ii) deliver possession of the Aircraft, the Airframe (Airframe
shall mean (i) the aircraft described on Exhibit A, but not including any Engine
installed thereon, and (ii) any and all Parts so long as the same shall be
incorporated or installed on or attached to the Airframe, or so long as title
thereto shall remain vested in Lessor in accordance with the terms of Section 6,
after removal from the Airframe) or any Engine or any Part to the manufacturer
thereof for testing or other similar purposes or to any organization for
service, repair, maintenance, testing or overhaul work on such Aircraft,
Airframe or Engine or any Part thereof or for alterations or modifications in or
additions to such Aircraft, Airframe or Engine to the extent required or
permitted by the terms of Sections 6 and 7 hereof;

            (iii) install an Engine on an airframe (other than the Airframe)
owned by Lessee during the term hereof free and clear of all Liens except: (a)
those Liens of the type permitted under Section 14 hereof and those which apply
only to the engines (other than Engines), appliances, parts, instruments,
appurtenances, accessories, furnishings and other equipment (other than Parts)
installed on such airframe (but not to the airframe as an entirety; and (b) the
rights of United States participants under normal interchange agreements which
are customary in the airline industry and do not contemplate, permit, result in
or require the transfer of title to the Airframe, Engines or Parts installed
thereon;

            (iv) install an Engine on an airframe leased to Lessee or owned by
Lessee subject to a conditional sale or other security agreement, provided that:
(a) such airframe is free and clear of all Liens except the right of the parties
to the lease or conditional sale or other security agreement covering such
airframe and except Liens of the type permitted by Section 14 hereof which
insofar as they relate to such Engine are subordinate to the rights of the
Lessor hereunder, and the Lien of any mortgage which either by its terms does
not apply to the Engine or which effectively provides that each Engine leased to
Lessee hereby shall not become subject to the Lien thereof or to any rights of
any party thereunder other than Lessee (with respect to Lessee's rights
expressly granted hereunder), notwithstanding the installation of such Engine on
any airframe subject to the Lien of such mortgage, unless and until Lessee shall
become the owner of such Engine and Lessor shall have no further interest
therein, all pursuant to the express terms of this Lease; and (b) there shall be
in effect a written agreement of the lessor or secured party of such airframe
(which may be the lease or conditional sale or other security agreement covering
such airframe) substantially similar in effect to the agreement of Lessor in
Section D below whereby such lessor or secured party effectively and expressly
agrees that neither it nor its successors or assigns will acquire or claim any
right, title or interest in any Engine or any Part thereof by reason of such
Engine being installed on such airframe at any time while such Engine is subject
to this Lease or owned by Lessor, and a copy of such agreement shall be provided
to

                                       24

<PAGE>

Lessor upon written request of Lessor. In the event Lessee installs on the
Airframe an engine that is leased by Lessee from a lessor, or is owned by Lessee
subject to a conditional sale agreement or other security agreement held by a
secured party, Lessor hereby agrees for the benefit of such lessor or secured
party that Lessor will not acquire or claim, as against such lessor or secured
party, any right, title or interest in any such engine as the result of such
engine being installed on the Airframe at any time while such engine is subject
to such lease or conditional sale or other security agreement and owned by such
lessor or subject to a security interest in favor of such secured party;

            (v) subject (i) any Engine or Part to normal interchange agreements
or other similar agreement customary in the airline industry and entered into by
Lessee in the ordinary course of its business and (ii) any Engine or Part to
short-term pooling or borrowing, reciprocal leasing or other arrangement
customarily entered into by major U.S. air carriers and entered into by Lessee
in the ordinary course of its business; provided that no transfer of the
registration of the Aircraft shall be effected in connection therewith and
Lessor's title to and interest in the Aircraft, such Engine or Part shall not be
divested or impaired and that if Lessor's title or interest shall be divested or
impaired, such event shall be deemed to be a Total Loss with respect thereto;
and further provided that the foregoing shall be subject to approval by Lessor
of the air carriers who participate with Lessee in such interchange, pooling or
other similar agreements; and

            (vi) transfer possession of the Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine to
the United States Government pursuant to a contract not extending beyond the
Term of this Lease or to the Civil Reserve Air Fleet Program or any similar or
substitute programs so long as Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor upon
transferring possession of the Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine pursuant to such
program or contract.

         C. With respect to any transfer pursuant to Section 15 A or 15 B:

            (i) the rights of any transferee that received possession by reason
of a transfer permitted by Section 15B shall be subject and subordinate to all
the terms of this Lease, including but not limited to, Lessor's rights to
repossession pursuant to Section 17 and to terminate and avoid such transfer
upon such repossession and to require such transferee forthwith to deliver the
item which is subject to such transfer upon repossession;

            (ii) Lessee shall remain primarily liable hereunder for the
performance of all of the terms of this Lease to the same extent as if such
transfer had not occurred; and

            (iii) no relinquishment of possession pursuant to the terms of
Section 15B shall in any way discharge or diminish any of Lessee's obligations
to Lessor hereunder.

         D. In the event Lessee shall have received from the lessor or secured
party of any airframe leased to Lessee or owned by Lessee or subject to a
conditional sale or other security agreement, a written agreement complying with
Section 15 B iv hereof (which agreement may be contained in the lease,
conditional sale agreement or security agreement relating to such airframe), and
such lease or conditional sale or other security agreement covering such
airframe

                                       25


<PAGE>

also covers an engine or engines owned by the lessor under such lease or subject
to a security interest in favor of the secured party under such conditional sale
or other security agreement, Lessor hereby agrees for the benefit of such lessor
or secured party that Lessor will not acquire or claim, as against such lessor
or secured party, any right, title or interest in any such engine as the result
of such engine being installed on the Airframe at any time while such engine is
subject to such lease or conditional sale or other security agreement and owned
by such lessor or subject to a security interest in favor of such secured party.
Lessor also hereby agrees for the benefit of the mortgagee under any mortgage
complying with clause (a) of Section 15 B iv hereof, relating to installation of
an Engine on airframe leased to Lessee, that Lessor will not acquire or claim,
as against such mortgagee, any right, title or interest in any engine subject to
the lien of such mortgage as the result of such engine being installed on the
Airframe at any time while such engine is subject to the lien of such mortgage.

         E. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event of any
sublease hereunder, Lessee shall be obligated to return the Aircraft to Lessor
in the condition required hereunder as if the sublease had not occurred.

that the same be remedied, provided that if such default cannot be cured within
fifteen (15) days that Lessee has been exercising due diligence to effect such
cure; then such cure must be effected within thirty (30) days;

         D. If Lessee shall become insolvent or go into liquidation or cease
paying its debts as they mature or make an assignment for the benefit of

whatsoever, and said order or process shall not be set aside, withdrawn, vacated
or cease to be effective within ten (10) Business Days of its effective date.

         H. Lessee shall default in the payment of any unsecured obligation for
the payment of borrowed money which has a principal amount of $1,000,000 or more
or any secured obligation for the payment of borrowed money, for the deferred
purchase price of property or for the payment of rent under any aircraft lease
or other agreement when the same becomes due if such non payment results in an
acceleration of such indebtedness;

         I. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing under that
certain Lease Agreement between Aircraft No. 2, L.L.C. and Lessee of even date
herewith in respect of aircraft with manufacturer's serial number 23045.

17.      REMEDIES

         Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter
so long as the same shall be continuing, Lessor may, at its option, declare by

disposal thereof by Lessor), all without trespass or liability accruing to
Lessor for or by reason of such entry or taking of possession or removing
whether for the restoration of damage to property caused by such action or
otherwise;

         B. Whether or not Lessor shall have exercised, or shall thereafter at
any time exercise, any of its rights under paragraph (a) above with respect to
the Aircraft, Lessor by written notice to Lessee specifying a payment date not
earlier than five (5) days from the date of such notice, may demand that the
Lessee pay to Lessor, and Lessee shall pay Lessor, in addition to such other
remedies, as liquidated damages for loss of a bargain and not as a penalty, an
amount equal to any Base Rental, Variable Rental, Supplemental Rental and other
charges unpaid as of the date of such notice, plus an amount equal to the entire
remaining Base Rental for the duration of the unexpired period remaining of the
initial stated term of the Agreement, plus any extension exercised discounted to
present value at nine percent (9%) per annum, it being acknowledged and agreed
that actual damages under such circumstances would be difficult or impossible to
determine.

         C. Lessor may terminate this Agreement, and/or may exercise any other
right or remedy which may be available to it under applicable law or proceed by
appropriate court action to enforce the terms hereof or to recover damages for
breach hereof. In addition, Lessee shall be liable, for any and all amounts due
hereunder, including all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by reason of the
occurrence of any Event of Default and the exercise of Lessor's remedies with
respect thereto, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys fees and
costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in connection with the return of the
Aircraft or any Engine in accordance with the terms hereof, or in placing such
Aircraft or Engine in the condition and airworthiness required hereby.

18.      EXCUSABLE DELAY

         Lessor shall use reasonable efforts to deliver the Aircraft and to
perform its obligations in a timely manner; provided, however, Lessor shall not
be responsible nor deemed to be in default on account of delays in the
performance of this Agreement or for delays or failure in delivering the
Aircraft to Lessee due to causes beyond Lessor's control, including, but not
limited to, failure of TAP to timely deliver the Aircraft to Lessor in the
condition required under the TAP Lease, war, insurrections, strikes or labor
disputes, inability or failure of suppliers to deliver parts or materials,
riots, fires, floods, explosions, earthquakes, serious accidents, any act of
government, acts of God or the public enemy, failure of transportation,
cancellation of schedules, or labor troubles causing cessation, slowdown or
interruption of work, actions or inactions of Lessee; provided, however, Lessee
shall not be required to accept delivery of the Aircraft if the excusable delay
extends beyond October 15, 1998, except if such excusable delay was caused by
Lessee.

this Agreement shall continue until the Aircraft is redelivered or repossessed
by Lessor and the Aircraft is put into the condition required hereunder. Base
Rental and Variable Rental will accrue and be paid by Lessee from and after a

         C. To the extent permitted by law, Lessee hereby agrees, in accordance
with Section 1110 of Title 11 of the United States Code, or any superseding

other analogous part of any superseding statutes, as amended from time to time.

         D. The Lessor represents and warrants to the Lessee that:

            (ii) The Lessor has the power to enter into and perform, and has
taken all necessary action to authorize the entry into, performance and delivery
of, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

binding obligation, enforceable against Lessor in accordance with its terms.

            (iv) The entry into and performance by the Lessor of, and the
transactions contemplated by, this Agreement do not and will not:

                  (a) conflict with any laws binding on the Lessor;

                  (b) conflict with the constitutional documents of the Lessor;
or

                  (c) conflict with any document which is binding upon the
Lessor or any of its assets.

            (v) So far as concerns the obligations of the Lessor, all
authorizations, consents, registrations and notifications required under the

25.      ASSIGNMENT AND COOPERATION WITH LESSOR'S LENDER

         A. Subject to Lessee's rights pursuant to the Lease, Lessor may grant
security interests over the Aircraft and the benefit of this Lease to Lessor's
lender as security for Lessor's obligations to Lessor's lender in connection
with Lessor's financing of the Aircraft. Lessor shall also have the right, at
its sole cost and expense, to assign or sell any interest of Lessor in the
Aircraft or this Lease and/or the proceeds thereof, subject to the rights of
Lessee hereunder.

         B. On request by Lessor or Lessor's lender, Lessee will sign and
execute all such documents as Lessor or Lessor's lender may reasonably require
to confirm Lessee's obligations under this Lease. Lessee undertakes to provide
all other reasonable assistance and cooperation to Lessor and Lessor's lender in
connection with the perfection and maintenance of such security interest,
including (without limitation) the effecting of all necessary filings and
registrations at Lessor's sole cost and expense.

         C. Wherever the term "Lessor" is used in this Lease in relation to any
of the provisions relating to disclaimer, title and registration, operational
interest, indemnity and insurance, the term "Lessor" will be deemed to include
any Lessor's lender notified to Lessee by Lessor.

         D. Any such sale or transfer will not expand Lessee's obligations
hereunder.

26.      ENTIRE AGREEMENT

         This Lease and the Exhibits and Appendices attached hereto, and made a
part hereof, embody the entire agreement and understanding of the parties and,
as of its effective date, terminate and supersede all prior or independent
agreements and understandings between the parties covering the same subject
matter. No amendment to this Lease shall be binding on either party unless
confirmed in writing and signed by the duly authorized officers or
representatives of both parties.

27.      MISCELLANEOUS

         A. This Lease may be executed in counterparts. Such counterpart
documents, when taken together, will constitute one and the same instrument. A
facsimile signature on any counterpart will be deemed an original for all
purposes.

         B. Any reference to the payment of money will refer to U.S. Dollars.

         C. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
hereunder, Lessee shall have the peaceful and quiet enjoyment of the Aircraft
free from all claims or interference of Lessor or anyone claiming by, through or
under Lessor, except as otherwise provided herein.

         D. If any legal action or other proceeding is brought in connection
with any provisions in this Lease, the prevailing party will be entitled to
recover reasonable attorneys' fees

                                       34

<PAGE>

and other costs incurred in such action or proceedings. The prevailing party
will also, to the extent permissible by Law, be entitled to receive pre- and
post-judgment Interest.

         E. The rights of the parties hereunder are cumulative, not exclusive,
may be exercised as often as each party considers appropriate and are in
addition to its rights under general Law. The rights of one party against the
other party are not capable of being waived or amended except by an express
waiver or amendment in writing. Any failure to exercise or any delay in
exercising any of such rights will not operate as a waiver or amendment of that
or any other such right; any defective or partial exercise of any such rights
will not preclude any other or further exercise of that or any other such right;
and no act or course of conduct or negotiation on a party's part or on its
behalf will in any way preclude such party from exercising any such right or
constitute a suspension or any amendment of any such right.

         F. Each party agrees from time to time to do and perform such other and
further acts and execute and deliver any and all such other instruments as may
be required by Law or reasonably requested by the other party to establish,
maintain or protect the rights and remedies of the requesting party or to carry
out and effect the intent and purpose of this Lease.

         G. The Lease Agreement dated as of August 11, 1997 between Lessee and
Fleet National Bank, a national banking association, not in its individual
capacity, but solely as Trustee for the benefit of Aircraft No. 1, L.L.C. shall
be null and void upon execution hereof by the parties.

28.      BROKERS/FINDERS

         Lessor and Lessee each represent to the other that there are and will
be no third parties involved as brokers or finders with respect to this Lease
and each party indemnifies the other from liability for fees, commissions or
other intermediary's claims arising as a result of actions of the indemnifying
party.

29.      SECURITY DEPOSIT; LETTER OF CREDIT

         A. Security Deposit

            (a) Prior to delivery of the Aircraft to Lessee, Lessee shall pay
Lessor a security deposit of $500,000 (the "Security Deposit") as follows:
$250,000 upon execution hereof and $125,000 on April 1, 1998, and $125,000 upon
delivery of the Aircraft to Lessee. The initial $250,000 security deposit can be
accomplished by appropriately amending the Letter of Credit dated May 7, 1997
issued by First Hawaiian Bank with respect to the Aircraft. The Security Deposit
shall constitute additional security for performance by Lessee of its
obligations under this Agreement, and the following provisions shall apply:

                  (i) if an Event of Default occurs and for as long as it
continues, the Lessor (or, if a mortgage shall be in effect, the Lessor's
lender) may (but shall not be obligated to) apply all or any portion of the
Security Deposit in or towards satisfaction of any sums due

                                       35

<PAGE>

and payable to the Lessor under this Agreement or to compensate the Lessor or,
if applicable, the Lessor's lender for any sums which it may, in its discretion,
advance or expend as a result of any such Event of Default. Notwithstanding any
such use or application by the Lessor or the Lessor's lender, the Lessee shall
remain in default under this Agreement until the full amount owed by the Lessee,
including interest accrued thereon pursuant to Exhibit H, Paragraph H, shall
have been paid to the Lessor. If the Lessor or, if applicable, the Lessor's
lender so uses or applies all or any portion of the Security Deposit, the Lessee
shall immediately, on demand of the Lessor or Lessor's lender] replenish the
Security Deposit in an amount equal to the amount so used or applied within five
(5) Business Days after Lessor's or Lessor's lender's demand therefor.

            (b) Provided Lessee is not then in default hereunder, the first
$250,000 of the Security Deposit shall be reduced by $62,500 on each anniversary
of the Delivery Date.

            (c) If Lessor fails to tender delivery of the Aircraft by October
15, 1998, other than by reason of default of Lessee or delay caused by Lessee,
then Lessor will return the Security Deposit to Lessee.

                  (ii) Lessor or, if applicable, Lessor's lender may commingle
the Security Deposit with its general funds, and any interest earned on the
Security Deposit will be for Lessor's or Lender's account.

                  (iii) The Security Deposit shall be returned to the Lessee
within five (5) Business Days of (1) redelivery of the Aircraft to the Lessor in
the condition required by Section 2 and Exhibit C to this Agreement, (2) receipt
by the Lessor of the Agreed Value following a Total Loss and all other amounts
due under Section 11 C or at such later time as the Lessor is satisfied that the
Lessee has irrevocably paid to the Lessor all amounts which are at the time
outstanding under this Agreement; provided always that the Lessor shall not be
obliged to return the Security Deposit if, at the relevant time, a Default shall
have occurred and be continuing.

         B. Letter of Credit. The Lessee shall be entitled, instead of paying
the Security Deposit in cash in accordance with sub-clause A above, to provide
the Lessor with Letters of Credit in the amounts of the cash Security Deposit.
In the event that the Lessee elects to provide the Letters of Credit, the
following provisions shall apply:

            (i) Lessee shall cause the Letters of Credit to be renewed or
replaced by the issuing bank not later than ten (10) Business Days before the
expiration of such Letter of Credit, and shall cause the Letters of Credit to
remain in effect, as renewed, until ninety (90) days after the scheduled
Expiration Date.

            (ii) If an Event of Default occurs and for as long as it continues,
the Lessor or, so long as a mortgage shall remain in effect, the Lessor's lender
may (but shall not be obliged to) call on the Letter of Credit and use or apply
the proceeds in or towards satisfaction of any sums due and payable to the
Lessor under this Agreement or to compensate the Lessor or lender for any sums
which it may, in its discretion, advance or expend as a result of any such Event
of

                                       36


<PAGE>

Default. Notwithstanding any such use or application by the Lessor or the
lender, the Lessee shall remain in default under this Agreement until the full
amount owed by the Lessee, including interest accrued thereon pursuant to
Exhibit H, Section H, shall have been paid to the Lessor and the Lessor's
lender. If the Lessor or, if applicable, the Lessor's lender so uses or applies
all or any portion of the amount available under the Letters of Credit, the
Lessee shall immediately, on demand of the Lessor or the lender, procure the
issue of a new Letter of Credit acceptable to the Lessor and the lender for an
amount equal to the amount so used or applied, or shall pay to the Lessor an
amount in cash equal to the amount so used or applied to be held pursuant to
this Section 29.

            (iii) The Letters of Credit shall be returned to the Lessee within
five (5) Business Days of

                  (a) redelivery of the Aircraft to the Lessor in the condition
required by Section 2 and Exhibit C to this Agreement;

                  (b) receipt by the lessor of the Agreed Value following a
Total Loss and all other amounts due under Section 11C; or

in either case, at such later time as the Lessor is satisfied that the Lessee
has irrevocably paid to the Lessor all amounts which are at that time
outstanding under this Agreement; provided always that the Lessor shall not be
obliged to return the Letter of Credit if, at the relevant time, a Default shall
have occurred and be continuing.

                  (c) Lessor's failure to deliver the Aircraft by October 15,
1998 other than by reason of default of Lessee or delay caused by Lessee.

30.      NO PURCHASE OPTION; NO HUSH KIT FINANCING

         Lessee shall have no option to purchase the Aircraft. Lessor shall have
no obligations with respect to HUSH KITS (those parts that are required to be
affixed to the Engines and Airframe in order that the Aircraft complies with all
requirements of US FAR Part 36, Stage III and ICAO Annex 16, Chapter 3),
including but not limited to financing thereof.

31.      AUTHORIZATION, LESSEE'S CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

         A. Upon execution hereof, Lessor will deliver to Lessee:

            (a) a copy of resolutions of the board of directors of the Lessor
approving the terms of, and the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement,
resolving that it enter into this Agreement, and authorizing a specified person
or persons to execute this Agreement and deliver the Aircraft on its behalf,

            (b) a certificate of a duly authorized officer of the Lessor;

                              REDELIVERY CONDITIONS

1.   ENGINE CONDITION AT REDELIVERY

          Upon return of the Aircraft to Lessor under this Lease, each Engine
          (or replacement engine, as the case may be) shall have remaining as
          many hours or cycles on the Engine's most limiting disk (with no
          single Engine having fewer than 3,000 hours or cycles (whichever is
          more limiting)) until its next Scheduled Engine Shop Visit as when the
          Aircraft was delivered to Lessee. In the event an Engine upon such
          return (or replacement Engine) shall have less hours or cycles
          remaining on its most limiting disk than on delivery, Lessee shall pay
          lessor for the difference at the Adjusted L.L.P. rate at redelivery
          (i.e. the payment shall equal the Adjusted LLP rate at redelivery
          times the excess of the hours/cycles at Delivery over the hours/cycles
          at redelivery); provided, however, in the event one Engine (or
          replacement Engine) upon such return shall have more hours or cycles
          on its most limiting disk than on Delivery, such excess times the
          Adjusted LLP Rate at Redelivery shall be applied as a credit against
          amounts owed by Lessee pursuant to the preceding phrase; provided
          further, that the foregoing credit shall be applicable only if each
          Engine (or replacement engine) has at least 3,000 hours/cycles
          remaining as set forth in the first sentence above. The foregoing
          calculation shall be made as to the Engine condition at delivery prior
          to any build up of the Engine condition by Lessee. In addition, upon
          return of the Aircraft to Lessor, Lessee will pay Lessor with respect
          to each Engine, an amount equal to the Adjusted Engine Shop Rate at
          redelivery times the excess, if any, of the number of flight hours
          elapsed on each such Engine since its last Engine Shop Visit at
          Redelivery over the number of flight hours elapsed on such Engine
          since its last Engine Shop Visit at Delivery. In the event an Engine
          (or replacement Engine) upon such Redelivery shall have fewer flight
          hours elapsed since its last Engine Shop Visit than at Delivery, the
          excess amount multiplied by the Adjusted Engine Shop Rate at
          Redelivery shall be applied as a credit against the amount owed by
          Lessee for the other Engine, pursuant to the preceding phrase. The
          foregoing credit is applicable only if each Engine (or replacement
          engine) is returned with at least 3,000 hours/cycles remaining until
          its next Scheduled Engine Shop Visit. Lessor shall have no obligation
          for betterment of the Engines upon redelivery. The foregoing
          calculation shall be made with reference to the Engine condition at
          delivery prior to any build up of the Engine condition by Lessee.

          If Lessee is unable to return an Engine at the expiration or earlier
          termination of this Lease, because of damage, overhaul or repair,
          Lessee shall replace such Engine prior to such expiration or earlier
          termination by duly conveying or causing to be conveyed to Lessor as a
          replacement for such Engine, good and marketable title to another
          engine acceptable to Lessor, which Engine shall be free and clear of
          all liens and encumbrances, shall have a value and utility at least
          equal to and be in

                                       42

<PAGE>

          as good operating condition as the Engine replaced, assuming such
          Engine was in the condition required to be maintained hereunder.
          Lessee shall have no right to substitute an engine for an Engine upon
          return of the aircraft except for damage thereto. Provided, however,
          Lessee may substitute an engine for an Engine if the Engine at
          redelivery has twenty percent (20%) or more hours/cycles remaining
          until its next Scheduled Engine Shop Visit at redelivery than on
          delivery. The substitute engine will be free and clear of all liens
          and encumbrances, shall have a value and utility at least equal to and
          be in as good operating condition as the Engine replaced, assuming
          such Engine was in the condition required hereunder. All financial
          adjustments will be made with respect to the substitute engine.

2.   AIRCRAFT CONDITION AT REDELIVERY

          The number of hours remaining until the next scheduled TAP heavy "C"
          check (C-7) at delivery is the "Beginning Hours". The number of hours
          remaining until the next scheduled Aloha check that is the equivalent
          of the TAP heavy C check at redelivery is the "Ending Hours". At
          Redelivery, the Aircraft shall have been maintained in accordance with
          Section 6 of the Lease with the same care and consideration for the
          technical condition of the Aircraft as if it were to have been kept in
          continued regular service by Lessee. At redelivery, Lessee will pay
          Lessor an amount equal to the excess of the Beginning Hours over the
          Ending Hours times the Adjusted Airframe Rate. The foregoing
          calculation shall be made as to the Beginning Hours prior to any
          predelivery work performed by or at Lessee's expense and any Exhibit J
          maintenance performed. The foregoing calculation is premised on the
          Lessee continuing its current maintenance program with "Block" checks
          at current intervals. If Lessee changes its maintenance program such
          that the intervals for major maintenance ("D" checks) changes or is
          modified then Lessor and Lessee will negotiate appropriate changes to
          the foregoing financial adjustment and/or the return condition of the
          Aircraft, it being the intent of the parties that the Aircraft be
          redelivered to Lessor in the same status as when delivered to Lessee,
          or if not so redelivered, that the financial adjustment is intended to
          compensate Lessor so that it can place the Aircraft in such condition.
          Under no circumstances will the Lessor be obligated to the Lessee for
          betterment of Aircraft condition.

          -    All cabin emergency equipment in serviceable condition (i.e.
               megaphones, fire extinguishers, portable oxygen cylinders, etc.)

          -    All outstanding AD's and mandatory orders affecting such model of
               aircraft issued by manufacturer which require compliance during
               the term of the lease shall have been accomplished

          -    All Time Controlled Parts will have at least the same
               hours/cycles, or calendar time (whichever is the more limiting
               factor) remaining to operate until the Time Controlled Parts'
               next scheduled overhaul in accordance with the Lessee's
               Maintenance Program and manufacturer's recommendations as at
               Delivery.

                                       43

<PAGE>

          -    If the Lessor's inspection prior to return of the Aircraft
               uncovers a Time Controlled Part which has less hours, cycles or
               calendar time remaining (whichever is the more limiting factor)
               Lessee shall make payments in accordance with the terms of this
               Exhibit. The Lessee shall make a payment to the lessor by the
               amount in which the value assigned to each Time Controlled Part
               which has less hours/cycles/calendar time remaining at redelivery
               exceeds the value assigned to such Time Controlled Parts as at
               Delivery. The value assigned to each Time Controlled Part for the
               purposes of the payment referred to herein shall be the product
               obtained by multiplying (i) the Part Overhaul Price per hour, day
               or cycle (whichever is the more limiting factor) calculated as
               set forth in this Exhibit, times (ii) the difference between (a)
               the number of hours, calendar time or cycle (whichever is the
               more limiting factor) consumed since the last Overhaul at
               Redelivery and (b) the number of hours, calendar time or cycles
               (whichever is the more limiting factor) since the last overhaul
               at Delivery. The only Time Controlled Parts which shall be taken
               into consideration for the purposes of the calculation of the
               payment referred to herein are those Time Controlled Parts which
               have a manufacturer's new list price of USD $1000 or more. Time
               Controlled Part means any Part (other than an Engine, landing
               gear, APU or airframe) which has a useful life measured in
               accordance with the applicable Manufacturer's guidelines and
               recommendations, the FARs or the Lessee's Maintenance Program by
               hours, cycles or calendar time (whichever is the more limiting
               factor). The foregoing calculation shall be made with reference
               to the hours/cycles/calendar time status at delivery prior to any
               predelivery work performed by or at Lessee's expense and any
               Exhibit J maintenance performed.

          -    Calculation of Part Overhaul Price.

         (i) The Part Overhaul Price per hour, cycles or calendar time
(whichever is the more limiting factor) will be the quotient obtained by
dividing (x) the expected cost of the next Overhaul by (y) the full allotment of
hours, cycles or calendar time (whichever is the more limiting factor) between
Overhauls as approved by the Lessee's Maintenance Program.

         (ii) If the Lessee and the Lessor are unable to agree on the expected
cost of the next Time Controlled Part Overhaul, such costs will be established
by taking the average of the price quotes submitted by two (2) reputable
FAA-approved overhaul facilities, one selected by the Lessor and the other by
the Lessee.

         (iii) The foregoing calculation shall be made with reference to the
hours/cycles/calendar time status at delivery prior to any predelivery work
performed by or at Lessee's expense and Exhibit J maintenance performed.

3.       LANDING GEAR AND APU

         A. The Borrower holds legal and record title to a certain Boeing
737-282C aircraft bearing manufacturer's serial number 23051 and FAA
Registration Number N826AL (the "Airframe") and its two Pratt & Whitney JT8D-17A
jet engines bearing manufacturer's serial numbers P709446D and P709447B
(collectively, the "Engines"; the Airframe and the Engines, together with all
avionics, appliances, radio and radar devices, accessories, and equipment
installed on the Airframe, being hereinafter referred to as the "Aircraft").

         B. Lessee is the lessee of the Aircraft pursuant to an Aircraft Lease
Agreement dated as of August 11, 1997 as supplemented and amended from time to
time (hereinafter the "Lease") with the Borrower, as lessor.

         C. The Lender has advanced to the Borrower a term loan (the "Loan")
pursuant to a Term Loan Agreement dated as of May 30, 1997 between the Borrower
and the Lender (the "Loan Agreement").

         D. As security for Borrower's obligation to repay the Loan, Borrower
has granted to the Lender a (i) first priority lien and security interest
(hereinafter the "Aircraft Lien") in the Aircraft (including a separate lien and
security interest in each Engine) pursuant to an Aircraft Security Agreement of
even date herewith between the Lender and the Borrower (the "Aircraft Security
Agreement"), and (ii) an assignment of all of Borrower's rights and interest in,
to and under the Lease and all rents, proceeds and other payments due
thereunder.

         E. The Lender, as a condition of making the Term Loan, has required
that the Lessee enter into this Agreement.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the
mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter contained, the parties hereto hereby
agree as follows:

         1. Lender agrees that during the term of the Lease and any extended
term thereof, so long as no Event of Default (as defined in the Lease) as to the
Lessee has occurred or is

continuing and the Lessee is not in default hereunder: (i) Lessee's possession
of and right to use the Aircraft shall not be disturbed, (ii) Lessee's rights
and privileges under the Lease shall not be diminished or interfered with by the
Lender upon any proceeding to foreclose the Aircraft Lien, and (iii) Lender will
not join Lessee as a party defendant in any proceeding to foreclose the Aircraft
Lien for the purpose of terminating the Lease or for any other purpose;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Lender shall be entitled to join Lessee as a nominal
party thereto if required under applicable law in order to effect such
foreclosure of the Aircraft Lien and will reimburse Lessee for all reasonable
legal fees incurred by Lessee by reason of being so joined.

         2. Lessee acknowledges the assignment of the Lease from the Borrower to
the Lender as security for the Loan. Lessee agrees that upon its receipt of
notice from the Lender that an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan
Agreement) has occurred and is continuing, and regardless of any contrary
notice, demand or instruction from the Borrower or anyone on Borrower's behalf,
Lessee will cease making payments of rent and other payments under the Lease to
the Borrower and will thereafter make all payments of rent and other payments
under the Lease directly to the Lender, until such time, if ever, that Lender
notifies Lessee to resume making such payments to the Borrower. By its signature
at the end of this Agreement, the Borrower consents to the foregoing provision
and agrees that Lessee's payment in accordance therewith shall constitute
compliance with the rent and other payment provisions of the Lease.

         3. In the event that, by reason of the foreclosure of the Aircraft Lien
for any reason, Lender succeeds to the interest of the lessor under the Lease,
then upon receipt of notice from Lender that it has succeeded to the rights of
the lessor under the Lease and Lender's written agreement to comply with all of
the Lessor's obligations under the Lease which arise after the date of such
succession, Lessee hereby agrees to recognize Lender as Lessee's lessor under
the Lease and to execute a written agreement of attornment if so requested;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that nothing herein shall deprive Lessee from any right of
offset against payment of rent under the Lease which Lessee may have pursuant to
the terms of the Lease whether such right arises prior to or after Lender's
succession as lessor under the Lease and further provided that nothing herein
shall expand Lessee's obligations under the Lease beyond such obligations had
Borrower remained the lessor pursuant to the Lease.

         4. Lender agrees that if the Aircraft or any part of the Aircraft is
damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty or by the exercise of any right
of eminent domain, the proceeds of any insurance or partial condemnation awards
thereon which are paid to the Lender pursuant to the Lease shall be promptly
made available for the purpose of repair or restoration as provided in the
Lease.

                                       -2-


<PAGE>


         5. The term "Lender" shall be deemed to mean the holder of the Aircraft
Lien from time to time or as the same may be renewed, amended, modified or
extended.

         6. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
no assignment of its rights hereunder shall be effective as to Lessee unless
Lender delivers to Lessee an agreement executed by Lender's assignee agreeing to
be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement applicable to Lender.

         7. Lessee certifies that there are no defaults on the part of the
lessor under the Lease which are known to Lessee, that the Lease, together with
that certain letter agreement dated August 22, 1997 between Borrower and Lessee,
are a complete statement of the agreement of the parties thereto with respect to
the leasing of the Aircraft, that the Lease is in full force and effect and that
all conditions to the effectiveness or continuing effectiveness thereof required
to be satisfied at the date hereof have been satisfied.

         8. Lessee and Borrower agree that Lender shall not be required to make
any investigation as to the existence or nonexistence of a default by Lessee or
Borrower under the Lease and shall not be obligated to notify Lessee or Borrower
of the existence thereof.

         9. All notices, consents and other communications permitted or required
by this Agreement to be given by a party hereto shall be in writing and, to be
effective hereunder, shall be hand delivered or sent by certified or registered
first class mail, return receipt requested, and addressed to the party to whom
directed at such party's address first above written or to such other address as
such party shall specify in a written notice to the other parties hereto.

         10. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in
accordance with, the laws of the State of New York in effect from time to time.
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts and each such counterpart taken
together shall constitute one and the same document.

                                       -3-

     1.   Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Assignment shall
have the respective meanings set forth in the Term Note. In the event of a
conflict between the terms of this Assignment and the Term Note, the terms of
the Term Note or this Assignment which provide the Assignee with the greatest
rights and remedies shall be controlling.

     2.   In order to secure the due and punctual performance by Assignor of
each and every obligation of Assignor under, and compliance by Assignor with
each and every provision of, the Term Note and the other Loan Documents,
Assignor hereby irrevocably assigns, transfers and sets over to Assignee, all
of Assignor's estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand in, to and
under the Lease and all payments due or to become due thereunder and damages
and other moneys from time to time payable to or receivable by Assignor
thereunder (said sums being herein called the "Moneys").

     3.   Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2 hereof, unless and
until an Event of Default shall have occurred, and thereafter provided that
Assignor has remedied all Events of Default, Assignor shall be entitled to
exercise all of the Assignor's rights under the Lease, except (a) the right,
if any, to assign or grant a security interest in any such right, including
the right to receive Moneys, to any Person other than Assignee, (b) to the
extent that such exercise would violate any provision of the Lease, and (c)
as otherwise provided herein. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and
for as long as the same shall be continuing, all rights and interest of the
Assignor in, to and under the Lease and the proceeds thereof, including,
without limitation, all rights to receive Moneys thereunder, shall be
exercisable solely by and shall inure solely and exclusively to the benefit
of Assignee. Accordingly, upon such occurrence of an Event of Default for as
long as the same shall be continuing in addition to any right or remedy
Assignee may have under the Term Note, the Aircraft Security Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, Assignee shall have the all rights, but shall not
be obligated, to enforce the Lease as if Assignee were a party thereto.

make any inquiry as to the sufficiency of any payment received by it or to
present or file any claim or to take any action to collect or enforce any

Assignor under the Lease and to have the Lessee deem and treat Assignee as
