ARTICLE 6.   Excusable Delay.

             6.1  General.  Boeing  will not be liable for or be deemed to be in
default under this Agreement on account of any delay in delivery of any Aircraft
or other performance  hereunder arising out of causes such as: acts of God; war,
armed  hostilities,  riots,  fires,  floods,  earthquakes or serious  accidents;
governmental  acts  or  failures  to  act  affecting  materials,  facilities  or
Aircraft; strikes or labor troubles causing cessation,  slowdown or interruption
of work;  damage  to an  Aircraft;  failure  of or delay in  transportation;  or
inability,  after due and  timely  diligence,  to  procure  materials,  systems,
accessories, equipment or parts; or arising out of any other cause to the extent
it is beyond Boeing's control or not occasioned by Boeing's fault or negligence.
A delay resulting from such causes is referred to as an "Excusable Delay".

             6.2 Excusable Delay of 12 Months.

             6.2.1  Anticipated  Delay.  If  Boeing  concludes,   based  on  its
appraisal  of  the  facts  and  normal  scheduling  procedures,  that  due to an
Excusable  Delay,  delivery of an Aircraft  will be delayed  more than 12 months
beyond the month in which delivery is scheduled,  Boeing will promptly so notify
Buyer in writing and either party may then terminate this Agreement with respect
to such  Aircraft  by giving  written  notice to the other  within 15 days after
receipt  by Buyer of  Boeing's  notice.  Failure  of a party  to  terminate  the
purchase of an  Aircraft  for an  Excusable  Delay  pursuant  to this  paragraph
results in a waiver of that  party's  right to  terminate  the  purchase of such
Aircraft for any delay in delivery caused by such Excusable Delay.

             6.2.2 Actual Delay. If, due to an Excusable  Delay,  delivery of an
Aircraft is delayed for more than 12 months  beyond the month in which  delivery
is scheduled,  and such right to terminate  has not been waived under  paragraph
6.2.1,  either party may terminate  this Agreement with respect to such Aircraft
by giving  written  notice to the other within 15 days after the  expiration  of
such 12-month period.

             6.3 Aircraft  Damaged  Beyond  Repair.  If,  prior to delivery,  an
Aircraft is destroyed or damaged beyond economic repair due to any cause, Boeing
will promptly  notify Buyer in writing and either party may then  terminate this
Agreement  with respect to such  Aircraft.  If Boeing does not so terminate this
Agreement with respect to such  Aircraft,  such notice will specify the earliest
date

reasonably possible,  consistent with Boeing's other contractual commitments and
production  capabilities,  by which Boeing will deliver a  replacement  for such
Aircraft.  This Agreement will thereupon  terminate as to such Aircraft,  unless
Buyer gives  Boeing  written  notice,  within 30 days after  receipt of Boeing's
notice, that Buyer desires the proposed replacement for such Aircraft.

             6.4 Agreement Revision.  If an Aircraft is delayed, or destroyed or
damaged beyond economic repair, and this Agreement is not terminated pursuant to
this Article, this Agreement will be appropriately revised.

             6.5 Agreement Termination.

             6.5.1 Termination under this Article will discharge all obligations
and  liabilities  of Boeing  and Buyer  hereunder  with  respect  to  terminated
Aircraft and all related undelivered items and services, except that Boeing will
return  to  Buyer,  without  interest,  all  advance  payments  related  to such
Aircraft,

             6.5.2 If either party  terminates this Agreement as to any Aircraft
pursuant to this  Article,  Boeing may,  upon written  notice to Buyer within 30
days after such termination,  purchase from Buyer any Buyer Furnished  Equipment
related to such Aircraft,  at the invoice prices paid, or contracted to be paid,
by Buyer.

             6.6  Exclusive  Rights.  The  termination  rights set forth in this
Article  are in  substitution  for any and all other  rights of  termination  or
contract  lapse or any other  claim  arising  by  operation  of law by virtue of
delays in performance covered by this Article.

ARTICLE 7.   Changes to the Detail Specification.

             7.1 Development Changes. Boeing may, at its own expense and without
Buyer's consent, incorporate Development Changes in the Detail Specification and
the  Aircraft  prior to  delivery to Buyer.  Development  Changes are defined as
changes to the basic specification for Model 737-300 aircraft that do not affect
the Aircraft  Purchase Price or adversely affect Aircraft  delivery,  guaranteed
weight,  guaranteed  performance or compliance  with the  interchangeability  or
replaceability  requirements  set forth in the Detail  Specification.  If Boeing
makes changes  pursuant to this paragraph,  Boeing will promptly notify Buyer of
such changes.

             7.2  Change  Orders.   The  Detail   Specification  and  associated
provisions of this Agreement may be amended by mutual  agreement by Change Order
or other  written  agreement  executed  by the  parties,  which  will  state the
particular  changes to be made and any effect on  design,  performance,  weight,
balance, time of delivery, Aircraft Basic Price and Advance Payment Base Price.

this Agreement, and

             8.1.1.2 a  Standard  Airworthiness  Certificate  for each  Aircraft
issued pursuant to Part 21 of the Federal  Aviation  Regulations,  which will be
provided to Buyer with delivery of the Aircraft.

             8.1.2 Boeing will not be obligated to obtain any other certificates
or approvals for the Aircraft.

             8.1.3 If the use of either FAA certificate is discontinued prior to
delivery of an  Aircraft,  references  in this  Agreement  to such  discontinued
certificate will be deemed references to its superseding FAA certificate. If the
FAA does not issue a superseding  certificate,  Boeing's only  obligation  under
this paragraph will be to comply with the Detail Specification.

             8.2 FAA Manufacturer Changes.

             8.2.1  If  the  FAA,  or  any  other  governmental   agency  having
jurisdiction,  requires  any  change  to  the  Aircraft,  data  relating  to the
Aircraft,   or  testing  of  the  Aircraft  in  order  to  obtain  the  Standard
Airworthiness  Certificate  (Manufacturer Change), such Manufacturer Change will
be made prior to delivery of such Aircraft.

             8.2.2  If prior to  Aircraft  delivery  a  Manufacturer  Change  is
required to be incorporated in an Aircraft, it will be incorporated at no charge
to Buyer,  unless the requirement is promulgated  subsequent to the date of this
Agreement, in which case Buyer will pay Boeing's

charge only for Aircraft scheduled for delivery to Buyer 18 months or more after
the date of this Agreement.

             8.3 FAA Operator Changes.

             8.3.1  Boeing  will  deliver  each  Aircraft  with the  changes  in
equipment   incorporated  (or,  at  Boeing's  sole  discretion,   with  suitable
provisions for the  incorporation of such equipment) that is required by Federal
Aviation  Regulations  which  (i)  are  generally  applicable  with  respect  to
transport  category  aircraft to be used in United States certified air carriage
and (ii) have to be  complied  with on or before  the date of  delivery  of such
Aircraft (Operator Changes).

             8.3.2 If Operator  Changes are  incorporated in an Aircraft,  Buyer
will pay Boeing's charge applicable to such Aircraft.

             8.4 Delays;  Changes to this Agreement.  If delivery of an Aircraft
is delayed  due to the  incorporation  of a  Manufacturer  Change or an Operator
Change,  the delivery of the Aircraft will be  appropriately  revised to reflect
such delay. This Agreement will also be revised to reflect  appropriate  changes
in the  Aircraft  Price,  design,  performance,  weight and  balance  due to the
incorporation of a Manufacturer Change or an Operator Change.

ARTICLE 9.   Representatives, Inspection,
             Flights and Test Data.

             9.1 Office Space at Boeing. From a date 12 months prior to delivery
of the first Aircraft, and until the delivery of the last Aircraft,  Boeing will
furnish,  without additional  charge,  suitable office space and equipment in or
conveniently  located near its plant in Seattle for the  accommodation  of up to
three (3) personnel of Buyer.

             9.2 Inspection by Buyer.  Designated  representatives  of Buyer may
inspect the manufacturing of the Aircraft at all reasonable times.  However,  if
access  to any  part of  Boeing's  plant  is  restricted  by the  United  States
Government,  Boeing will be allowed a reasonable  time to arrange for inspection
elsewhere.  All inspections by Buyer's  representatives  will be performed so as
not to hinder manufacture or performance by Boeing.

             9.3 Aircraft Flight. Prior to delivery, each Aircraft will be flown
by Boeing  for such  periods  as may be  required  to  demonstrate  to Buyer the
function  of  the  Aircraft  and  its  equipment  in  accordance  with  Boeing's
production flight test procedures.  The aggregate  duration of such flights will
be not less than 1-1/2 hours or more than 4 hours.  Five persons  designated  by
Buyer may participate in such flights as observers.

             9.4  Test  Data.   Boeing  will  furnish  to  Buyer,   as  soon  as
practicable,  flight test data  obtained  on an  aircraft of the type  purchased
hereunder,  certified  as correct by Boeing,  to  evidence  compliance  with any
performance  guarantees set forth in this Agreement.  Any Performance  Guarantee
will  be  deemed  to  be  met  if  reasonable  engineering  interpretations  and
calculations  based on such flight test data establish that the Aircraft  would,
if actually flown, comply with such guarantee.

             9.5 Special Aircraft Test Requirements. Boeing may use the Aircraft
for flight and ground tests prior to delivery to Buyer, without reduction in the
Aircraft Purchase Price, if such tests are deemed necessary by Boeing to:

             9.5.1  obtain  or  maintain  the  Type   Certificate   or  Standard
Airworthiness Certificate for the Aircraft; or

             9.5.2 evaluate aircraft improvement changes that may be offered for
production or retrofit incorporation in any aircraft.

             9.6  Indemnity.  Boeing will  indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and
Buyer's  observers from and against all claims and liabilities,  including costs
and expenses  (including  attorneys'  fees) incident  thereto,  for injury to or
death of any person or  persons,  including  employees  of Boeing but  excluding
employees,  officers  or  agents  of  Buyer,  or for  loss of or  damage  to any
property,  arising out of or in  connection  with the  operation of the Aircraft
during all demonstration and test flights conducted under the provisions of this
Article, whether or not arising in tort or occasioned in whole or in part by the
negligence  of Buyer or any of Buyer's  observers,  whether  active,  passive or
imputed.

             10.2  Transfer  by Buyer at  Delivery.  Buyer  may,  and at Buyer's
request  Boeing  will,  take any action  reasonably  required for the purpose of
causing an Aircraft, at time of delivery, to be subjected to an equipment trust,
conditional  sale, lien or other  arrangement for the financing by Buyer of such
Aircraft.  No action taken by either party pursuant to this paragraph,  however,
will require  Boeing to divest itself of title to or possession of such Aircraft
until delivery and payment therefor pursuant to this Agreement.

             10.3 Sale by Buyer After Delivery.  If,  following  delivery of any
Aircraft, Buyer sells such Aircraft (including any sale for financing purposes),

Boeing's  receipt  of  such  purchaser's  express  written  agreement,  in  form
satisfactory to Boeing,  to be bound by and to comply with all applicable terms,
conditions and limitations of this Agreement.

             10.4 Lease by Buyer After Delivery.  If, following  delivery of any
Aircraft,  Buyer  leases such  Aircraft,  Buyer will not assign to the lessee of
such Aircraft any rights under this  Agreement  without  Boeing's  prior written
consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

             10.5 No Increase in Boeing  Liability.  No action taken by Buyer or
Boeing  relating  to the  assignment,  resale or lease of any  Aircraft  or this
Agreement will subject Boeing to any liability  beyond that in this Agreement or
modify in any way Boeing's obligations under this Agreement.

             10.6  Exculpatory  or  Indemnity  Clause in  Post-Delivery  Sale or
Lease.  If,  following  delivery  of an  Aircraft,  Buyer  sells or leases  such
Aircraft and obtains from the  transferee  an  exculpatory  or indemnity  clause
protecting Buyer, Buyer will include the same protection for Boeing.
