                                      A-2


is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the
Agreement. By virtue of its acceptance hereof, the holder of this Certificate
(the "Certificateholder" and, together with all other holders of Certificates
issued by the Trust, the "Certificateholders") assents to and agrees to be bound
by the provisions of the Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement. The property
of the Trust includes certain Equipment Notes and all rights of the Trust to
receive payments under the Intercreditor Agreement and the Liquidity Facility
(the "Trust Property"). Each issue of the Equipment Notes is secured by, among
other things, a security interest in an Aircraft leased to or owned by the
Company.

                  The Certificates represent Fractional Undivided Interests in
the Trust and the Trust Property and 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 May 1 and November 1 (a "Regular Distribution Date")
commencing May 1, 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 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 distribution 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 or the 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
distribution to such Certificateholder as provided in the 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, privileges, 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.

Certificate or a beneficial interest herein, agrees to treat the Trust as a
grantor trust for all U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes.

                  The Trustee, the Registrar, and any agent of the Trustee or
the Registrar may treat the person in whose name this Certificate is registered
as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Registrar,
nor 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

Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or of a plan
subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), have not been used to purchase this Certificate or an interest herein
or (ii) the purchase and holding of this Certificate or an interest herein are
exempt from the prohibited transaction restrictions of ERISA and the Code
pursuant to one or more prohibited transaction statutory or administrative
exemptions.

                   THE AGREEMENT AND THIS CERTIFICATE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE
OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT 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.
