Certificateholders will be to deliver the Class C Certificates and (ii) if the
purchaser(s) shall so request, each such Class C Certificateholder will comply

                  Section 5.01      Final Termination Date. The respective
obligations and responsibilities of the Company and the Trustee created hereby
and the Class C Trust created hereby shall terminate upon the distribution to
all Certificateholders of Class C 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 C
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 C Trust be classified for United States federal income
tax purposes as a grantor trust under Part 1E of Chapter 1J of Subtitle A of
the Internal 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 C Certificate, by its acceptance of its Class C
Certificate or a beneficial interest therein, agrees to treat the Class C Trust
as a grantor trust for all United States federal, state and local income tax
purposes. The Trustee shall not be authorized or empowered to do anything that
would cause the Class C Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust for such
tax purposes (including as subject to this restriction, acquiring any Aircraft
by bidding the Equipment Notes relating thereto or otherwise, or taking any
action with respect to any such Aircraft once acquired).

of November 16, 2000 (the "Basic Agreement"), as supplemented by Trust
Supplement No. 2000-1C thereto dated November 16, 2000 (collectively, the
"Agreement"), between the Trustee and Delta Air Lines, Inc., a corporation
incorporated under Delaware law (the "Company"), a summary of certain of the

By virtue of its acceptance hereof, the Certificateholder of this Certificate

the Intercreditor Agreement, including the

subordination provisions of Section 9.09 of the Intercreditor Agreement. The
property of the Trust includes or will include certain Equipment Notes and all
rights of the Trust and the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, to receive any
payments under the Intercreditor Agreement or the Liquidity Facility (the
"Trust Property"). Each issue of the Equipment Notes is or will be secured by,
among other things, a security interest in certain Aircraft owned by the
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 May 18 and November 18 (a "Regular
Distribution Date"), commencing on May 18, 2001, 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


                                      A-2

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,


                                      A-3

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.
