with any provision of Section 6.01(a) of the Basic Agreement, replaces the
provisions of Section 6.01(a) of the Basic Agreement. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary set forth herein or in any Operative Agreement, the provisions
of this Section 4.01 may not be amended in any manner without the consent of
each Class A-1 Certificateholder, Class A-2 Certificateholder, Class B
Certificateholder, Class C Certificateholder or Class D Certificateholder (other

thereby.

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

            Section 5.01 Final Termination Date. The respective obligations and
responsibilities of the Company and the Trustee created hereby and the Class A-2
Trust created hereby shall terminate upon the distribution to all
Certificateholders of Class A-2 Certificates and the Trustee of all amounts
required to be distributed to them pursuant to this Agreement and the
disposition of all property held as part of the Trust Property; provided,
however, that in no event shall the Trust created hereby continue beyond the
expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of
Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr., the father of John F. Kennedy, former President of the
United States, living on the date of this Trust Supplement.

            Section 5.02 Basic Agreement Ratified. Except and so far as herein
expressly provided, all of the provisions, terms and conditions of the Basic
Agreement are in all respects ratified and confirmed; and the Basic Agreement
and this Trust Supplement shall be taken, read and construed as one and the same
instrument.

            Section 5.03 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN DELIVERED IN THE
STATE OF NEW YORK AND THIS AGREEMENT AND THE CLASS A-2 CERTIFICATES SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK,
INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, AND THE
OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL
BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

            Section 5.04 Counterparts. This Trust Supplement may be executed in
any number of counterparts (and each of the parties shall not be required to
execute the same counterpart). Each counterpart of this Trust Supplement
including a signature page or pages executed by each of the parties hereto shall
be an original counterpart of this Trust Supplement, but all of such
counterparts together shall constitute one instrument.

            Section 5.05 Intention of Parties. The parties hereto intend that
the Class A-2 Trust be classified for United States federal income tax purposes

Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and not as a trust or association taxable as a
corporation or as a partnership. Each Certificateholder of a Class A-2
Certificate, by its acceptance of its Class A-2 Certificate or a beneficial
interest therein, agrees to treat the Class A-2 Trust as a grantor trust for all

*     This legend to appear on Book-Entry Certificates to be deposited with The
      Depository Trust Company.

            The Certificates represent Fractional Undivided Interests in the
Trust and the Trust Property, and will have no rights, benefits or interest in
respect of any other separate trust established pursuant to the terms of the
Basic Agreement for any other series of certificates issued pursuant thereto.

            Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and the
Intercreditor Agreement, from funds then available to the Trustee, there will be
distributed on each March 18 and September 18 (a "Regular Distribution Date"),
commencing on March 18, 2002, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered at the close of business on the 15th day preceding the Regular
Distribution Date, an amount in respect of the Scheduled Payments on the
Equipment Notes due on such Regular Distribution Date, the receipt of which has
been confirmed by the Trustee, equal to the product of the percentage interest
in the Trust evidenced by this Certificate and an amount equal to the sum of
such Scheduled Payments. Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the
Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, in the event that Special Payments on
the Equipment Notes are received by the Trustee, from funds then available to
the Trustee, there shall be distributed on the applicable Special Distribution
Date, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of
business on the 15th day preceding the Special Distribution Date, an amount in
respect of such Special Payments on the Equipment Notes, the receipt of which
has been confirmed by the Trustee, equal to the product of the percentage
interest in the Trust evidenced by this Certificate and an amount equal to the
sum of such Special Payments so received. If a Regular Distribution Date or
Special Distribution Date is not a Business Day, distribution shall be made on
the immediately following Business Day with the same force and effect as if made
on such Regular Distribution Date or Special Distribution Date and no interest
shall accrue during the intervening period. The Trustee shall mail notice of
each Special Payment and the Special Distribution Date therefor to the
Certificateholder of this Certificate.

            Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Trustee by
check mailed to the Person entitled thereto, without the presentation or
surrender of this Certificate or the making of any notation hereon, except that
with respect to Certificates registered on the Record Date in the name of a
Clearing Agency (or its nominee), such distributions shall be made by wire
transfer. Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement and notwithstanding the
above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after notice
mailed by the Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon
presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency of the
Trustee specified in such notice.

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

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

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

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

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

            The Company, the Trustee, the Registrar and any Paying Agent shall
deem and treat the person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the
owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Company, the Trustee, the
Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

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

            Any Person acquiring or accepting this Certificate or an interest
herein will, by such acquisition or acceptance, be deemed to represent and
warrant to the Company, the Loan Trustees and the Trustee that either: (i) no
assets of an employee benefit plan subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or of an employee benefit
plan or an individual retirement account subject to Section 4975 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or any trust established under
such plan or account, have been used to purchase this Certificate or an interest
herein or (ii) the purchase and holding of this Certificate or interest herein
by such Person are exempt from the prohibited transaction restrictions of ERISA
and the Code pursuant to one or more prohibited transaction statutory or
administrative exemptions.

            THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING ALL
MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS
AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES AND CERTIFICATEHOLDERS HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER
SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

            Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by
the Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any
benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
