the trust created by the Trust Agreement so long as the Trust Indenture remains

Agreement of First Security to resign as Owner Trustee in accordance with the
provisions of the Trust Agreement.

      WTC shall indemnify (on an after-tax basis) and hold harmless Lessee,

provide to Mortgagee necessary certificates or forms to substantiate the right
to exemption from such withholding tax.

      7.5   COVENANTS OF NOTE HOLDERS

            7.5.2 TRANSFER; COMPLIANCE

      (a) Such Note Holder will (i) not transfer any Equipment Note or interest
therein in violation of the Securities Act or applicable state or foreign
securities Law; PROVIDED, that the foregoing provisions of this section shall

and comply with the obligations specified to be imposed on it (as a Note Holder)
under each of the Trust Indenture and the form of Equipment Note set forth in

            (i) a written representation and covenant that either (a) no portion
      of the funds it uses to purchase, acquire and hold such Equipment Note or
      interest directly or indirectly constitutes, or may be deemed under the
      Code or ERISA or any rulings, regulations or court decisions thereunder to
      constitute, the assets of any Plan or (b) the transfer, and subsequent
      holding, of such Equipment Note or interest shall not involve or give rise
      to a transaction that constitutes a prohibited transaction within the
      meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975(c)(1) of the Code
      involving Lessee, Owner Participant, a Pass Through Trustee, the
      Subordination Agent or the proposed transferee (other than a transaction
      that is exempted from the prohibitions of such sections by applicable
      provisions of ERISA or the Code or administrative exemptions or
      regulations issued thereunder); and

            (ii) a written covenant that it will not transfer any Equipment Note
      or any interest in, or represented by, any Equipment Note unless the
      subsequent transferee also makes the representation described in clause

      7.6   AGREEMENTS

            7.6.1 OWNER TRUSTEE IS OWNER FOR ALL PURPOSES

      Lessee, the Owner Participant and Owner Trustee agree that for all
purposes, after the Closing, Owner Trustee will be the owner of the Aircraft
(except that Owner Participant will be the owner for income tax purposes) and
Lessee will be the lessee thereof. No transfer, by operation of Law or
otherwise, of the beneficial interest of Owner Participant in and to the Trust
Estate shall operate to transfer legal title to any part of the Trust Estate to
any transferee thereof.


<PAGE>

            7.6.2 COMMENCEMENT OF BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS

      Lessee, each Participant, each Note Holder, First Security, Owner Trustee,
WTC and Mortgagee agree for the benefit of each of the others that it will not
commence or join in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code to commence a case
under Section 303 of the Bankruptcy Code against the Trust Estate. Nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to preclude any Participant, any Note Holder,
First Security, Owner Trustee, WTC or Mortgagee from filing any claim against
the Trust Estate in any case commenced against the Trust Estate.

            7.6.3 CERTAIN BANKRUPTCY MATTERS

      If (a) all or any part of the Trust Estate becomes the property of, or
Owner Trustee or Owner Participant becomes, a debtor subject to the
reorganization provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, (b) pursuant to such
reorganization provisions, including Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code,
First Security or Owner Participant is required, by reason of First Security or
Owner Participant being held to have recourse liability to any Note Holder or
Mortgagee directly or indirectly (other than the recourse liability of First
Security or Owner Participant under this Agreement, the Trust Indenture or by
separate agreement), to make payment on account of any amount payable as
principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, interest or other amounts on the Equipment
Notes, and (c) any Note Holder or Mortgagee actually receives any Excess Amount,
as defined below, which reflects any payment by First Security or Owner
Participant on account of (b) above, then such Note Holder or Mortgagee, as the
case may be, shall promptly refund to First Security or Owner Participant
(whichever shall have made such payment) such Excess Amount.

      For purposes of this Section 7.6.3, "Excess Amount" means the amount by
which such payment exceeds the amount that would have been received by a Note
Holder or Mortgagee if First Security or Owner Participant had not become
subject to the recourse liability referred to in clause (b) above. Nothing
contained in this Section 7.6.3 shall prevent a Note Holder or Mortgagee from
enforcing any personal recourse obligation (and retaining the proceeds thereof)
of First Security or Owner Participant under this Agreement (other than as
referred to in clause (b) above) or the Trust Indenture (and any exhibits or
annexes thereto) or from retaining any amount paid by Owner Participant under
Sections 2.13 or 4.03 of the Trust Indenture.


<PAGE>

            7.6.4 QUIET ENJOYMENT; SALE BY OWNER TRUSTEE BINDING

      (a) Owner Participant, each Applicable Pass Through Trustee, Subordination
Agent, each Note Holder, Owner Trustee and Mortgagee agrees as to itself with
Lessee that, so long as no Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, such Person shall not (and shall not permit any Affiliate or other
Person claiming by, through or under it to) interfere with Lessee's rights in
accordance with the Lease to the quiet enjoyment, possession and use of the
Aircraft during the Term.

      (b) Any assignment, sale, transfer or other conveyance of the Aircraft by
Owner Trustee made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Lease shall
bind Owner Participant and shall be effective to transfer or convey all right,
title and interest of Owner Trustee and Owner Participant in and to the
Aircraft. No purchaser or other grantee shall be required to inquire as to the
authorization, necessity, expediency or regularity of such assignment, sale,
transfer or conveyance, or as to the application of any sale or other proceeds
with respect thereto by Owner Trustee, as regards Owner Participant.

            7.6.5 RELEASE OF LIEN OF TRUST INDENTURE

      Each of Lessee, Lessor and Mortgagee agrees that in each instance referred
to in the Lease in which a transfer of any property is required to be made by
Lessor to Lessee or any other Person (other than Mortgagee), Mortgagee shall,
upon request of Lessor and compliance with the applicable provisions of the
Lease and the Trust Indenture, including payment of all amounts then due and
payable to each Liquidity Provider as Supplemental Rent, promptly execute (at
Lessee's cost and expense) such instruments as Lessor or Lessee may reasonably
request to evidence the release of the Lien of the Trust Indenture with respect
to such property.

            7.6.6 NON-RECOURSE

      Loan Participant and Mortgagee agree that (a) obligations of Owner Trustee
under the Trust Indenture or any other Operative Agreement and with respect to
the Equipment Notes shall be non-recourse to Owner Participant and to First
Security and (b) they will look solely to the income and proceeds from the Trust
Estate and the Trust Indenture Estate to the extent available for distribution
to Note Holder or Mortgagee as provided in the Trust Indenture and that neither
Owner Participant nor First Security will be personally liable to Loan

<PAGE>

Participant or Mortgagee for any amounts payable by Owner Trustee under the
Trust Indenture or any other Operative Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
foregoing is not intended nor shall it be construed to limit any recourse
liability of Owner Participant or First Security to the extent that such
liability is expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any of the Operative
Agreements or arises by reason of the breach of any representation or warranty
or covenant given by such Person (in the case of First Security, in its
individual capacity).

            7.6.7 OTHER DOCUMENTS; AMENDMENT

      (a) Each of the Owner Participant and the Owner Trustee hereby (A) agrees
with Lessee, the Loan Participants and the Mortgagee not to amend, supplement or
otherwise modify any provision of the Trust Agreement in a manner that could
adversely affect such party without the prior written consent of such party.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the Lease has not been terminated or
expired, each Participant, the Mortgagee and the Owner Trustee hereby agree for
the benefit of Lessee that without the consent of Lessee they will not amend,
supplement or otherwise modify (i) Article III, Article IX or Section 2.05 of
the Trust Indenture, (ii) any provision of any Operative Agreement that will
affect the stated principal amount of or premium or interest on the Equipment
Notes or (iii) any other provision of the Trust Indenture or Equipment Notes in
a manner that could adversely affect Lessee. Mortgagee and Owner Trustee agree
to promptly furnish to Lessee copies of any supplement, amendment, waiver or
modification of any of the Operative Agreements to which Lessee is not a party.
Each Loan Participant agrees that it will not take any action in respect of the
Trust Indenture Estate except through the Mortgagee pursuant to the Trust
Indenture or as otherwise permitted by Trust Indenture.

      (b) Owner Trustee agrees to join with Lessee to the extent that action on
its part is necessary or appropriate (i) to cause the following to be duly
accomplished in accordance with applicable United States federal Law by the time
the Aircraft is delivered under this Agreement and the Lease: (A) the
application for registration of the Aircraft in the name of Owner Trustee and
(B) all related action necessary in order for Lessee to have temporary or
permanent authority to operate the Aircraft as contemplated by the Lease and
(ii) forthwith upon delivery of the Aircraft under this Agreement and the Lease,
to cause all necessary documents to be duly filed for recording in accordance
with applicable United States federal Law.


<PAGE>

            7.6.8 CONSENTS

      Each Participant, each Applicable Pass Through Trustee, Subordination
Agent, Owner Trustee and Mortgagee covenants and agrees, for the benefit of
Lessee, that it shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any consent or
approval requested of it or of Owner Trustee or Mortgagee under the terms of any
of the Operative Agreements which by its terms is not to be unreasonably
withheld.

            7.6.9 INSURANCE

      Each of Owner Participant, the Pass Through Trustees, the Subordination
Agent and the Owner Trustee agrees not to obtain or maintain insurance for its
own account as permitted by Section 11.2 of the Lease if such insurance would

obtained or maintained by Lessee pursuant to Section 11 and Annex D of the
Lease.

            7.6.10 EXTENT OF INTEREST OF NOTE HOLDERS

      A Note Holder shall not, as such, have any further interest in, or other
right with respect to, the Trust Estate or the Trust Indenture Estate when and
if the principal and Make-Whole Amount, if any, of and interest on the Equipment
Note held by such Note Holder, and all other sums, then due and payable to such
Note Holder hereunder and under any other Operative Agreement, shall have been
paid in full.

            7.6.11 FOREIGN REGISTRATION

      Each Participant, Owner Trustee and Mortgagee hereby agree, for the
benefit of Lessee but subject to the provisions of Section 7.1.2 of the Lease:

Aircraft to be registered in a country other than the United States subject to
compliance with the following:

            (i)   each of the following requirements is satisfied:

            (A)   such registration shall be made only after the Tax Attribute
                  Period, unless Lessee prepays on a lump sum basis any
                  liability due under the Tax Indemnity Agreement as a result of
                  such registration based upon the assumption that such
                  registration

<PAGE>

                  would continue for the remainder of the term of the Permitted
                  Sublease described in clause (C) below;

            (B)   no Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be
                  continuing at the time of such registration;

            (C)   such proposed change of registration is made in connection
                  with a Permitted Sublease to a Permitted Air Carrier;

            (D)   such country is a country with which the United States then
                  maintains normal diplomatic relations or, if Taiwan, the
                  United States then maintains diplomatic relations at least as
                  good as those in effect on the Delivery Date;

            (ii) the Owner Trustee and Mortgagee shall have received an opinion
      of counsel (subject to customary exceptions) reasonably satisfactory to
      the Owner Participant addressed to each such party as to the effect that:

                  (A) such country would recognize the Owner Trustee's ownership
            interest in the Aircraft;

                  (B) the obligations of Lessee, and the rights and remedies of
            Owner Trustee, under the Lease are valid, binding and enforceable
            under the laws of such jurisdiction (or the laws of the jurisdiction
            to which the laws of such jurisdiction would refer as the applicable
            governing law);

                  (C) after giving effect to such change in registration, the
            Lien of the Trust Indenture on the Owner Trustee's right, title and
            interest in and to the Aircraft and the Lease shall continue as a
            valid and duly perfected first priority security interest and all
            filing, recording or other action necessary to protect the same
            shall have been accomplished (or, if such opinion cannot be given at
            the time of such proposed change in registration because such change
            in registration is not yet effective, (1) the opinion shall detail
            what filing, recording or other action is necessary and (2) the
            Owner Trustee and the Mortgagee shall have received a certificate
            from Lessee that all possible preparations to accomplish such
            filing, recording and other action shall have been done, and such
            filing,

<PAGE>

            recording and other action shall be accomplished and a supplemental
            opinion to that effect shall be delivered to the Owner Trustee and
            the Mortgagee on or prior to the effective date of such change in
            registration;

                  (D) it is not necessary, solely as a consequence of such
            change in registration and without giving effect to any other
            activity of the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant or the
            Mortgagee (or any Affiliate thereof), as the case may be, for the
            Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant or the Mortgagee to qualify to
            do business in such jurisdiction as a result of such reregistration
            in order to exercise any rights or remedies with respect to the
            Aircraft pursuant to the Lease;

                  (E) there is no tort liability of the owner or lessor of an
            aircraft not in possession thereof under the laws of such
            jurisdiction (it being agreed that, in the event such latter opinion
            cannot be given in a form satisfactory to the Owner Participant,
            such opinion shall be waived if insurance reasonably satisfactory to
            the Owner Participant is provided to cover such risk); and

                  (F) unless Lessee shall have agreed to provide insurance
            covering the risk of requisition of use of the Aircraft by the
            government of such country (so long as the Aircraft is registered
            under the laws of such country), the laws of such country require
            fair compensation by the government of such country payable in
            currency freely convertible into Dollars and freely removable from
            such country (without license or permit, unless Lessee prior to such
            proposed reregistration has obtained such license or permit) for the
            taking or requisition by such government of such use;

      (b) In addition, as a condition precedent to any change in registration
Lessee shall have given to Lessor and Mortgagee assurances reasonably
satisfactory to each of them:

            (i)   to the effect that the provisions of Section 11 of the Lease
                  have been complied with after giving effect to such change of
                  registration;

            (ii)  of the payment by Lessee of all reasonable out-of-pocket
                  expenses of Lessor, each Participant and Mortgagee in
                  connection with such

<PAGE>

                  change of registry, including, without limitation (1) the
                  reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to Lessee, Lessor
                  and Mortgagee, (2) any filing or recording fees, Taxes or
                  similar payments incurred in connection with the change of
                  registration of the Aircraft and the creation and perfection
                  of the security interest therein in favor of Mortgagee for the
                  benefit of Note Holders, and (3) all costs and expenses
                  incurred in connection with any filings necessary to continue
                  in the United States the perfection of the security interest
                  in the Aircraft and the Lease in favor of Mortgagee for the
                  benefit of Note Holders; and

            (iii) to the effect that the tax and other indemnities in favor of
                  each person named as an indemnitee under any other Operative
                  Agreement afford each such person substantially the same
                  protection as provided prior to such change of registration
                  (or Lessee shall have agreed upon additional indemnities that,
                  together with such original indemnities, in the reasonable
                  judgment of Lessor and Mortgagee, afford such protection).

            7.6.12 OTHER COMMERCIAL RELATIONS UNAFFECTED

      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any Operative
Agreement:

      (a) Except as set forth in the Purchase Agreement Assignment, nothing
contained in the Operative Agreements shall constitute or be deemed to be a
waiver by Lessee of any rights, remedies or claims it may have against Airframe
Manufacturer or Engine Manufacturer or any subcontractor or supplier of either;
and the Operative Agreements do not and shall not be construed or deemed to
create any rights, waivers, immunities or indemnities in favor of Airframe
Manufacturer, Engine Manufacturer or any subcontractor or supplier of either
with respect to any such rights, remedies or claims of Lessee; and

      (b) None of Airframe Manufacturer, by its execution and delivery of the
Consent and Agreement, and Engine Manufacturer, by its execution and delivery of
the Engine Consent and Agreement, shall be deemed to have waived any rights,
remedies or claims which Airframe Manufacturer or Engine Manufacturer (or any
subcontractor or supplier of either), as the case may be, may have against

<PAGE>

Lessee; and the Operative Agreements do not and shall not be construed or deemed
to create any rights, waivers, immunities or indemnities in favor of Lessee with
respect to any such rights, remedies or claims of Airframe Manufacturer or
Engine Manufacturer (or any subcontractor or supplier of either).

            7.6.13 INTEREST IN CERTAIN ENGINES

      Each Participant, Owner Trustee, and Mortgagee agree, for the benefit of
each of the lessor, conditional seller, mortgagee or secured party of any
airframe or engine leased to, or purchased by, Lessee or any Permitted Sublessee
subject to a lease, conditional sale, trust indenture or other security
agreement that it will not acquire or claim, as against such lessor, conditional
seller, mortgagee or secured party, any right, title or interest in any engine
as the result of such engine being installed on the Airframe at any time while
such engine is subject to such lease, conditional sale, trust indenture or other
security agreement and owned by such lessor or conditional seller or subject to
a trust indenture or security interest in favor of such mortgagee or secured
party.

      (o) For any Lessor Lien attributable to such Indemnitee or any related

employer of such Indemnitee, a director, officer, employee, agent, or servant of

<PAGE>

such Indemnitee or any such Affiliate or a successor or permitted assignee of
any of the foregoing.

            9.1.3 SEPARATE AGREEMENT

      This Agreement constitutes a separate agreement with respect to each
Indemnitee and is enforceable directly by each such Indemnitee.

            9.1.4 NOTICE

      If a claim for any Expense that an Indemnitee shall be indemnified against
under this Section 9.1 is made, such Indemnitee shall give prompt written notice
thereof to Lessee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of any Indemnitee
to notify Lessee as provided in this Section 9.1.4, or in Section 9.1.5, shall
not release Lessee from any of its obligations to indemnify such Indemnitee
hereunder, except to the extent that such failure results in an additional
Expense to Lessee (in which event Lessee shall not be responsible for such
additional expense) or materially impairs Lessee's ability to contest such
claim.

            9.1.5 NOTICE OF PROCEEDINGS; DEFENSE OF CLAIMS; LIMITATIONS

      (a) In case any action, suit or proceeding shall be brought against any
Indemnitee for which Lessee is responsible under this Section 9.1, such
Indemnitee shall notify Lessee of the commencement thereof and Lessee may, at
its expense, participate in and to the extent that it shall wish (subject to the
provisions of the following paragraph), assume and control the defense thereof
and, subject to Section 9.1.5(c), settle or compromise the same.

      (b) Lessee or its insurer(s) shall have the right, at its or their
expense, to investigate or, if Lessee or its insurer(s) shall agree not to
dispute liability to the Indemnitee giving notice of such action, suit or
proceeding under this Section 9.1.5 for indemnification hereunder or under any
insurance policies pursuant to which coverage is sought, control the defense of,
any action, suit or proceeding, relating to any Expense for which
indemnification is sought pursuant to this Section 9.1, and each Indemnitee
shall cooperate with Lessee or its insurer(s) with respect thereto; PROVIDED,
that Lessee shall not be entitled to control the defense of any such action,
suit, proceeding or compromise any such Expense during the continuance of any
Lease Event of Default arising under Section 14.1 of the Lease. In connection

<PAGE>

with any such action, suit or proceeding being controlled by Lessee, such
Indemnitee shall have the right to participate therein, at its sole cost and
expense, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lessee; PROVIDED, that such
Indemnitee's participation does not, in the reasonable opinion of the
independent counsel appointed by the Lessee or its insurers to conduct such
proceedings, interfere with the defense of such case.

      (c) In no event shall any Indemnitee enter into a settlement or other
compromise with respect to any Expense without the prior written consent of
Lessee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless such
Indemnitee waives its right to be indemnified with respect to such Expense under
this Section 9.1.

      (d) In the case of any Expense indemnified by the Lessee hereunder which
is covered by a policy of insurance maintained by Lessee pursuant to Section 11
of the Lease, at Lessee's expense, each Indemnitee agrees to cooperate with the
insurers in the exercise of their rights to investigate, defend or compromise
such Expense as may be required to retain the benefits of such insurance with
respect to such Expense.

      (e) If an Indemnitee is not a party to this Agreement, Lessee may require
such Indemnitee to agree in writing to the terms of this Section 9 and Section
15.8 prior to making any payment to such Indemnitee under this Section 9.

      (f) Nothing herein shall be deemed to be an assumption by Lessee of
obligations of Owner Trustee with respect to, or a guarantee by Lessee of, any
amounts payable by Owner Trustee upon Equipment Notes or a guarantee of any
residual value of the Aircraft.

      (g) Nothing contained in this Section 9.1.5 shall be deemed to require an
Indemnitee to contest any Expense or to assume responsibility for or control of
any judicial proceeding with respect thereto.

            9.1.6 INFORMATION

      Lessee will provide the relevant Indemnitee with such information not
within the control of such Indemnitee, as is in Lessee's control or is
reasonably available to Lessee, which such Indemnitee may reasonably request and
will otherwise cooperate with such Indemnitee so as to enable such Indemnitee to
fulfill its obligations under Section 9.1.5. The Indemnitee shall supply Lessee

<PAGE>

with such information not within the control of Lessee, as is in such
Indemnitee's control or is reasonably available to such Indemnitee, which Lessee
may reasonably request to control or participate in any proceeding to the extent
permitted by Section 9.1.5.

            9.1.7 EFFECT OF OTHER INDEMNITIES; SUBROGATION; FURTHER ASSURANCES

      Upon the payment in full by Lessee of any indemnity provided for under
this Agreement, Lessee, without any further action and to the full extent
permitted by Law, will be subrogated to all rights and remedies of the person
indemnified (other than with respect to any of such Indemnitee's insurance
policies or in connection with any indemnity claim such Indemnitee may have
under Section 5.03 or Article VII of the Trust Indenture or Section 5.3 or 7 of
the Trust Agreement) in respect of the matter as to which such indemnity was
paid. Each Indemnitee will give such further assurances or agreements and
cooperate with Lessee to permit Lessee to pursue such claims, if any, to the
extent reasonably requested by Lessee and at Lessee's expense.

            9.1.8 REFUNDS

      If an Indemnitee receives any refund, in whole or in part, with respect to
any Expense paid by Lessee hereunder, it will promptly pay the amount refunded
(but not an amount in excess of the amount Lessee or any of its insurers has
paid in respect of such Expense) over to Lessee unless a Lease Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case such amounts shall be paid
over to Owner Trustee (or, so long as the Trust Indenture shall not have been
discharged, to Mortgagee) to hold as security for Lessee's obligations under the
Lessee Operative Agreements or, if requested by Lessee, applied to satisfy such
obligations.

      9.2 EXPENSES

            9.2.1 INVOICES AND PAYMENT

      Each of the Owner Trustee, Mortgagee, the Owner Participant, Lessee, the
Applicable Pass Through Trustees, and the Subordination Agent shall promptly
submit to Lessee for its prompt approval (which shall not be unreasonably
withheld) copies of invoices in reasonable detail of the Transaction Expenses
for which it is responsible for providing information as they are received (but

<PAGE>

in no event later than the 90th day after the Delivery Date). If so submitted
and approved, the Owner Participant agrees promptly, but in any event no later
than the 105th day after the Delivery Date, to pay (but not in excess of 1% of
Lessor's Cost) Transaction Expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee at
its sole option shall have the right to pay directly any and all Transaction
Expenses. Lessee shall be obligated to pay directly any and all Transaction
Expenses which are in excess of 1% of Lessor's Cost. If Owner Participant shall
fail to pay any Transaction Expense that it is obligated to pay hereunder,
Lessee shall pay such Transaction Expense. Any such payment by Lessee shall not
affect Owner Participant's obligations or Lessee's rights against Owner
Participant for its failure to make any such payment.

            9.2.2 PAYMENT OF OTHER EXPENSES

      Lessee shall pay (i) the ongoing fees and expenses of Owner Trustee and
Mortgagee, and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including
the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by any Participant
attributable to (A) any transfer of title to the Aircraft or any Engine
contemplated by Section 4.5 of the Lease or (B) any waiver, amendment or
modification of any Operative Agreement to the extent requested by Lessee.

            9.2.3 PAYMENTS IF TRANSACTIONS DO NOT CLOSE

      In the event that the transaction contemplated by this Agreement fails to
close as a result of the Owner Participant's failure to comply with its
obligations under this Agreement or any breach of a representation or warranty
of Owner Participant made in or pursuant to any Operative Agreement,
notwithstanding any other rights and remedies that the parties hereto shall have
against Owner Participant, the Owner Participant will be responsible for all of
its fees and expenses, including but not limited to the fees, expenses and
disbursements of its special counsel and the fees of the Appraiser referred to
in Section 5.1.2(xv).


      9.3 GENERAL TAX INDEMNITY

            9.3.1 GENERAL

      Except as provided in Section 9.3.2, Lessee agrees that each payment of
Rent paid by Lessee pursuant to the Lease, and any other payment or indemnity
paid by Lessee to a Tax Indemnitee under any Operative Agreement, shall be free

<PAGE>

of all withholdings or deductions with respect to Taxes of any nature (other
than U.S. federal, state or local withholding taxes on, based on or measured by
gross or net income), and in the event that Lessee shall be required by
applicable law to make any such withholding or deduction for any such payment
(x) Lessee shall make all such withholdings or deductions, (y) the amount
payable by Lessee shall be increased so that after making all required
withholdings or deductions such Tax Indemnitee receives the same amount that it
would have received had no such withholdings or deductions been made, and (z)
Lessee shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Taxing
Authority in accordance with applicable law. Lessee further agrees that, in the
event it is required to withhold from any payment of Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss
Value (and amounts determined by reference thereto), and amounts payable upon
exercise of Lessee's purchase option pursuant to Section 17.3 of the Lease, any
Tax imposed upon Owner Participant or Owner Trustee (including any withholding
Tax based on income or receipts of Owner Participant or Owner Trustee) and such
Tax is excluded from indemnification pursuant to Section 9.3.2, Lessee shall pay
such additional amount, if any, required so that the total amount paid by Lessee
(after making all required withholdings) is equal to (assuming timely payment of
the Equipment Notes prior to the relevant Payment Date) the aggregate principal
amount of scheduled installments due on the Equipment Notes outstanding on the
relevant Payment Date, together with accrued and unpaid interest, due on the
Equipment Notes; Owner Participant or Owner Trustee, as the case may be, shall
reimburse Lessee for any such additional amounts within two Business Days after
demand therefor. Except as provided in Section 9.3.2 and whether or not any of
the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, Lessee shall pay,
indemnify, protect, defend and hold each Tax Indemnitee harmless from all Taxes
imposed by any Taxing Authority that may from time to time be imposed on or
asserted against any Tax Indemnitee or the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine or
any Part or any interest in any of the foregoing (whether or not indemnified
against by any other Person), upon or with respect to the Operative Agreements
or the transactions or payments contemplated thereby, including but not limited
to any Tax imposed upon or with respect to (x) the Aircraft, the Airframe, any
Engine, any Part, any Operative Agreement (including without limitation any
Equipment Notes) or any data or any other thing delivered or to be delivered
under an Operative Agreement, (y) the purchase, manufacture, acceptance,
rejection, sale, transfer of title, return, ownership, mortgaging, delivery,
transport, charter, rental, lease, re-lease, sublease, assignment, possession,

<PAGE>

prepossession, presence, use, condition, storage, preparation, maintenance,
modification, alteration, improvement, operation, registration, transfer or
change of registration, reregistration, repair, replacement, overhaul, location,
control, the imposition of any Lien (other than a Lessor Lien), financing,
refinancing requested by the Lessee, abandonment or other disposition of the
Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine, any Part, any data or any other thing
delivered or to be delivered under an Operative Agreement or (z) rent, interest,
fees or any other income, proceeds, receipts or earnings, whether actual or
deemed, arising upon, in connection with, or in respect of, any of the Operative
Agreements (including the property or income or other proceeds with respect to
property held as part of the Trust Estate) or the transactions contemplated
thereby.

or more of the net present value of the payment as computed by such Tax
Indemnitee, in which case the costs shall be paid by such Tax Indemnitee.

      (c) Each Tax Indemnitee shall provide Lessee with such certifications,
information and documentation as shall be in such Tax Indemnitee's possession
and as shall be reasonably requested by Lessee to minimize any indemnity payment
pursuant to this Section 9.3; provided, that notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, no Tax Indemnitee shall be required to provide Lessee
with any Tax returns.

      (d) Each Tax Indemnitee shall promptly forward to Lessee any written
notice, bill or advice received by it from any Taxing Authority concerning any
Tax for which it seeks indemnification under this Section 9.3. Lessee shall pay
any amount for which it is liable pursuant to this Section 9.3 directly to the
appropriate Taxing Authority if legally permissible or upon demand of a Tax
Indemnitee, to such Tax Indemnitee within 30 days of such demand (or, if a
contest occurs in accordance with Section 9.3.4, within 30 days after a Final
Determination (as defined below)), but in no event more than one Business Day
prior to the date the Tax to which such amount payable hereunder relates is due.
If requested by a Tax Indemnitee in writing, Lessee shall furnish to the
appropriate Tax Indemnitee the original or a certified copy of a receipt for
Lessee's payment of any Tax paid by Lessee or such other evidence of payment of
such Tax as is acceptable to such Tax Indemnitee. Lessee shall also furnish
promptly upon written request such data as any Tax Indemnitee may reasonably
require to enable such Tax Indemnitee to comply with the requirements of any
taxing jurisdiction unless such data is not reasonably available to Lessee or,
unless such data is specifically requested by a Taxing Authority, is not
customarily furnished by domestic air carriers under similar circumstances. For
purposes of this Section 9.3, a "Final Determination" shall mean (i) a decision,
judgment, decree or other order by any court of competent jurisdiction that
occurs pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.3.4, which decision, judgment,
decree or other order has become final and unappealable, (ii) a closing
agreement or settlement agreement entered into in accordance with Section 9.3.4
that has become binding and is not subject to further review or appeal (absent
fraud, misrepresentation, etc.), or (iii) the termination of administrative

<PAGE>

proceedings and the expiration of the time for instituting a claim in a court
proceeding.

      (e) If any Tax Indemnitee shall actually realize a tax savings by reason
of any Tax paid or indemnified by Lessee pursuant to this Section 9.3 (whether
such tax savings shall be by means of a foreign tax credit, depreciation or cost
recovery deduction or otherwise) and such savings is not otherwise taken into
account in computing such payment or indemnity such Tax Indemnitee shall pay to
Lessee an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of such tax savings, plus
any additional tax savings recognized as the result of any payment made pursuant
to this sentence, when, as, if, and to the extent, realized or (ii) the amount
of all payments pursuant to this Section 9.3 by Lessee to such Tax Indemnitee
(less any payments previously made by such Tax Indemnitee to Lessee pursuant to
this Section 9.3.3 (e)) (and the excess, if any, of the amount described in
clause (i) over the amount described in clause (ii) shall be carried forward and
applied to reduce pro tanto any subsequent obligations of Lessee to make
payments to such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 9.3); provided, that
such Tax Indemnitee shall not be required to make any payment pursuant to this
sentence so long as a Lease Event of Default of a monetary nature has occurred
and is continuing. If a tax benefit is later disallowed or denied, the
disallowance or denial shall be treated as a Tax indemnifiable under Section
9.3.1 without regard to the provisions of Section 9.3.2 (other than Section
9.3.2 (f)). Each such Tax Indemnitee shall in good faith use reasonable efforts
in filing its tax returns and in dealing with Taxing Authorities to seek and
claim any such tax benefit.

            9.3.4 CONTEST

      (a) If a written claim is made against a Tax Indemnitee for Taxes with
respect to which Lessee could be liable for payment or indemnity hereunder, or
if a Tax Indemnitee makes a determination that a Tax is due for which Lessee
could have an indemnity obligation hereunder, such Tax Indemnitee shall promptly
give Lessee notice in writing of such claim (provided, that failure to so notify
Lessee shall not relieve Lessee of its indemnity obligations hereunder unless
such failure to notify effectively forecloses Lessee's rights to require a
contest of such claim) and shall take no action with respect to such claim
without the prior written consent of Lessee for 30 days following the receipt of
such notice by Lessee; provided, that, in the case of a claim made against a Tax
Indemnitee, if such Tax Indemnitee shall be required by law to take action prior
to the end of such 30-day period, such Tax Indemnitee shall, in such notice to

<PAGE>

Lessee, so inform Lessee, and such Tax Indemnitee shall take no action for as
long as it is legally able to do so (it being understood that a Tax Indemnitee
shall be entitled to pay the Tax claimed and sue for a refund prior to the end
of such 30-day period if (i)(A) the failure to so pay the Tax would result in
substantial penalties (unless immediately reimbursed by Lessee) and the act of
paying the Tax would not materially prejudice the right to contest or (B) the
failure to so pay would result in criminal penalties and (ii) such Tax
Indemnitee shall take any action so required in connection with so paying the
Tax in a manner that is the least prejudicial to the pursuit of the contest). In
addition, such Tax Indemnitee shall (provided, that Lessee shall have agreed to
keep such information confidential other than to the extent necessary in order
to contest the claim) furnish Lessee with copies of any requests for information
from any Taxing Authority relating to such Taxes with respect to which Lessee
may be required to indemnify hereunder. If requested by Lessee in writing within
30 days after its receipt of such notice, such Tax Indemnitee shall, at the
expense of Lessee (including, without limitation, all reasonable costs, expenses
and reasonable attorneys' and accountants' fees and disbursements), in good
faith contest (or, if permitted by applicable law, allow Lessee to contest)
through appropriate administrative and judicial proceedings the validity,
applicability or amount of such Taxes by (I) resisting payment thereof, (II) not
paying the same except under protest if protest is necessary and proper or (III)
if the payment is made, using reasonable efforts to obtain a refund thereof in
an appropriate administrative and/or judicial proceeding. If requested to do so
by Lessee, the Tax Indemnitee shall appeal any adverse administrative or
judicial decision, except that the Tax Indemnitee shall not be required to
pursue any appeals to the United States Supreme Court. If and to the extent the
Tax Indemnitee is able to separate the contested issue or issues from other
issues arising in the same administrative or judicial proceeding that are
unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements without,
in the good faith judgment of such Tax Indemnitee, adversely affecting such Tax
Indemnitee, such Tax Indemnitee shall permit Lessee to control the conduct of
any such proceeding and shall provide to Lessee (at Lessee's cost and expense)
with such information or data that is in such Tax Indemnitee's control or
possession that is reasonably necessary to conduct such contest. In the case of
a contest controlled by a Tax Indemnitee, such Tax Indemnitee shall consult with
Lessee in good faith regarding the manner of contesting such claim and shall
keep Lessee reasonably informed regarding the progress of such contest. A Tax

<PAGE>

Indemnitee shall not fail to take any action expressly required by this Section
9.3.4 (including, without limitation, any action regarding any appeal of an
adverse determination with respect to any claim) or settle or compromise any
claim without the prior written consent of the Lessee (except as contemplated by
Section 9.3.4(b) or (c)).

      (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a Tax Indemnitee be
required to pursue any contest (or to permit Lessee to pursue any contest)
unless (i) Lessee shall have agreed to pay such Tax Indemnitee on demand all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such Tax Indemnitee in connection with
contesting such Taxes, including, without limitation, all reasonable out of
pocket costs and expenses and reasonable attorneys' and accountants' fees and
disbursements, (ii) if such contest shall involve the payment of the claim,
Lessee shall advance the amount thereof (to the extent indemnified hereunder)
plus interest, penalties and additions to tax with respect thereto that are
required to be paid prior to the commencement of such contest on an
interest-free after-Tax basis to such Tax Indemnitee (and such Tax Indemnitee
shall promptly pay to the Lessee any net realized tax benefits resulting from
such advance including any tax benefits resulting from making such payment),
(iii) such Tax Indemnitee shall have reasonably determined that the action to be
taken will not result in any material risk of forfeiture, sale or loss of the
Aircraft (unless Lessee shall have made provisions to protect the interests of
any such Tax Indemnitee in a manner reasonably satisfactory to such Tax
Indemnitee) (provided, that such Tax Indemnitee agrees to notify Lessee in
writing promptly after it becomes aware of any such risk), (iv) no Lease Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing unless Lessee has provided
security for its obligations hereunder by advancing to such Tax Indemnitee
before proceeding or continuing with such contest, the amount of the Tax being
contested, plus any interest and penalties and an amount estimated in good faith
by such Tax Indemnitee for expenses, and (v) prior to commencing any judicial
action controlled by Lessee, Lessee shall have acknowledged its liability for
such claim hereunder, provided that Lessee shall not be bound by its
acknowledgment if the Final Determination articulates conclusions of law and
fact that demonstrate that Lessee has no liability for the contested amounts
hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Tax Indemnitee shall release,
waive, compromise or settle any claim which may be indemnifiable by Lessee
pursuant to this Section 9.3 without the written permission of Lessee, Lessee's
obligation to indemnify such Tax Indemnitee with respect to such claim (and all

<PAGE>

directly related claims and claims based on the outcome of such claim) shall
terminate, subject to Section 9.3.4(c), and subject to Section 9.3.4(c), such
Tax Indemnitee shall repay to Lessee any amount previously paid or advanced to
such Tax Indemnitee with respect to such claim, plus interest at the rate that
would have been payable by the relevant Taxing Authority with respect to a
refund of such Tax.

      (c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 9.3, a Tax
Indemnitee will not be required to contest the imposition of any Tax and shall
be permitted to settle or compromise any claim without Lessee's consent if such
Tax Indemnitee (i) shall waive its right to indemnity under this Section 9.3
with respect to such Tax (and any directly related claim and any claim the
outcome of which is determined based upon the outcome of such claim), (ii) shall
pay to Lessee any amount previously paid or advanced by Lessee pursuant to this
Section 9.3 with respect to such Tax, plus interest at the rate that would have
been payable by the relevant Taxing Authority with respect to a refund of such
Tax, and (iii) shall agree to discuss with Lessee the views or positions of any
relevant Taxing Authority with respect to the imposition of such Tax.

            9.3.5 REFUND

      If any Tax Indemnitee shall receive a refund of, or be entitled to a
credit against other liability for, all or any part of any Taxes paid,
reimbursed or advanced by Lessee, such Tax Indemnitee shall pay to Lessee within
30 days of such receipt an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the amount of such
refund or credit plus any net tax benefit (taking into account any Taxes
incurred by such Tax Indemnitee by reason of the receipt of such refund or
realization of such credit) actually realized by such Tax Indemnitee as a result
of any payment by such Tax Indemnitee made pursuant to this sentence (including
this clause (a)) and (b) such tax payment, reimbursement or advance by Lessee to
such Tax Indemnitee theretofore made pursuant to this Section 9.3 (and the
excess, if any, of the amount described in clause (a) over the amount described
in clause (b) shall be carried forward and applied to reduce pro tanto any
subsequent obligation of Lessee to make payments to such Tax Indemnitee pursuant
to this Section 9.3). If, in addition to such refund or credit, such Tax
Indemnitee shall receive (or be credited with) an amount representing interest
on the amount of such refund or credit, such Tax Indemnitee shall pay to Lessee
within 30 days of such receipt or realization of such credit that proportion of
such interest that shall be fairly attributable to Taxes paid, reimbursed or

<PAGE>

advanced by Lessee prior to the receipt of such refund or realization of such
credit.

            9.3.6 TAX FILING

      If any report, return or statement is required to be filed with respect to
any Tax which is subject to indemnification under this Section 9.3, Lessee shall
timely file the same (except for any such report, return or statement which a
Tax Indemnitee has timely notified the Lessee in writing that such Tax
Indemnitee intends to file, or for which such Tax Indemnitee is required by law
to file, in its own name); provided, that the relevant Tax Indemnitee shall
furnish Lessee with any information in such Tax Indemnitee's possession or
control that is reasonably necessary to file any such return, report or
statement and is reasonably requested in writing by Lessee (it being understood
that the Tax Indemnitee shall not be required to furnish copies of its actual
tax returns, although it may be required to furnish relevant information
contained therein). Lessee shall either file such report, return or statement
and send a copy of such report, return or statement to such Tax Indemnitee, and
Owner Trustee if the Tax Indemnitee is not Owner Trustee, or, where Lessee is
not permitted to file such report, return or statement, it shall notify such Tax
Indemnitee of such requirement and prepare and deliver such report, return or
statement to such Tax Indemnitee in a manner satisfactory to such Tax Indemnitee
within a reasonable time prior to the time such report, return or statement is
to be filed.

            9.3.7 FORMS

      Each Tax Indemnitee agrees to furnish from time to time to Lessee or
Mortgagee or to such other person as Lessee or Mortgagee may designate, at
Lessee's or Mortgagee's request, such duly executed and properly completed forms
as may be necessary or appropriate in order to claim any reduction of or
exemption from any withholding or other Tax imposed by any Taxing Authority, if
(x) such reduction or exemption is available to such Tax Indemnitee and (y)
Lessee has provided such Tax Indemnitee with any information necessary to
complete such form not otherwise reasonably available to such Tax Indemnitee.

            9.3.8 NON-PARTIES

      If a Tax Indemnitee is not a party to this Agreement, Lessee may require
the Tax Indemnitee to agree in writing, in a form reasonably acceptable to

<PAGE>

Lessee, to the terms of this Section 9.3 and Section 15.8 prior to making any
payment to such Tax Indemnitee under this Section 9.3.

            9.3.9 SUBROGATION

      Upon payment of any Tax by Lessee pursuant to this Section 9.3 to or on
behalf of a Tax Indemnitee, Lessee, without any further action, shall be
subrogated to any claims that such Tax Indemnitee may have relating thereto.
Such Tax Indemnitee shall cooperate with Lessee (to the extent such cooperation
does not result in any unreimbursed cost, expense or liability to such Tax
Indemnitee) to permit Lessee to pursue such claims.

            9.3.10 FOREIGN TAX ON LOAN PAYMENTS

      If an Owner Participant is incorporated or organized, or maintains a place
of business or conducts activities in, a country other than the United States or
in a territory, possession or commonwealth of the United States (within the
meaning of the tax law of that foreign jurisdiction) and if as a result thereof
any foreign Taxes (including withholding Taxes) are imposed on the Pass Through
Trustees, Pass Through Trusts, or Note Holders, then Owner Participant shall
reimburse Lessee for any payments Lessee is required to make to or on behalf of
any Pass Through Trustee, Pass Through Trust, or Note Holder under this Section
9.3 as a result of the imposition of such Taxes. The amount payable by Owner
Participant to Lessee shall be an amount which, after taking into account any
such Taxes, any Tax imposed upon the receipt or accrual by Lessee of such
payment by Owner Participant and any tax benefits or tax savings realized by
Lessee with respect to the payment of such withholding Tax or the payment
hereunder, shall equal the amount of Lessee's payment to or on behalf of such
Pass Through Trustee, or Note Holder.

      9.4 PAYMENTS

      Any payments made pursuant to Section 9.1 or 9.3 shall be due on the 60th
day after demand therefor and shall be made directly to the relevant Indemnitee
or Tax Indemnitee or to Lessee, in immediately available funds at such bank or
to such account as specified by such Indemnitee or Tax Indemnitee or Lessee, as
the case may be, in written directives to the payor, or, if no such direction
shall have been given, by check of the payor payable to the order of, and mailed
to, such Indemnitee or Tax Indemnitee or Lessee, as the case may be, by
certified mail, postage prepaid, at its address as set forth in this Agreement.


<PAGE>

      9.5 INTEREST

      If any amount, payable by Lessee, any Indemnitee or any Tax Indemnitee
under Section 9.1 or 9.3 is not paid when due, the person obligated to make such
payment shall pay on demand, to the extent permitted by Law, to the person
entitled thereto, interest on any such amount for the period from and including
the due date for such amount to but excluding the date the same is paid, at the
Payment Due Rate. Such interest shall be paid in the same manner as the unpaid
amount in respect of which such interest is due.

      9.6 BENEFIT OF INDEMNITIES

      The obligations of Lessee in respect of all indemnities, obligations,
adjustments and payments in Section 9.1 or 9.3 are expressly made for the
benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the Indemnitee or Tax Indemnitee
entitled thereto, without declaring the Lease to be in default or taking other
action thereunder, and notwithstanding any provision of the Trust Indenture.

      order to hold an interest in the Trust Estate such that the Aircraft can

Agreements.

      10.2 EFFECT OF TRANSFER

      Upon any Transfer in accordance with Section 10.1.1, 10.1.2 or 10.1.3

SECTION 11. REFUNDING AND CERTAIN OTHER MATTERS

      11.1 REFUNDING GENERALLY

      Subject to Sections 11.2 and 11.4, in the event that at any time Lessee
shall have given written notice to Owner Participant, Owner Trustee, and
Mortgagee that Lessee is requesting a voluntary redemption of all, but not less
than all, of the outstanding Equipment Notes (in compliance with the provisions
of Sections 2.11 and 2.12 of the Trust Indenture) by Owner Trustee as part of a
refunding transaction, Owner Participant agrees to negotiate in good faith and
promptly conclude an agreement with Lessee as to the terms of such refunding
transaction (including the terms of any debt to be issued in connection with

set forth in the Refunding Certificate or the determination pursuant to such
verification procedures of the Refunding Information, the appropriate parties
will take the actions specified in Sections 11.1.2 through 11.1.7 below.

            11.1.2 FINANCING AGREEMENTS

      The appropriate parties will enter into appropriate documentation (which

at least 30 days' revocable prior written notice of the proposed date of the
optional redemption.

Owner Trustee will amend the Lease, as contemplated by Section 3.2.1(b) of the
Lease, to provide that (a) Basic Rent in respect of the period from and after
the Refunding Date shall be as provided in the Refunding Information and (b)
amounts payable in respect of Stipulated Loss Value and Termination Value, from
and after the Refunding Date shall be as provided in the Refunding Information.

            11.1.4 SECURITY AGREEMENTS

      Owner Trustee will enter into an agreement to provide for the securing
thereunder of the New Debt in like manner as the Equipment Notes and will enter

            11.1.5 EXPENSES

      Whether or not such refunding transaction is consummated, Lessee shall pay
or reimburse all of the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of all parties to such

placement fees and the reasonable fees and expenses of such parties' counsel and
any related loan or commitment fees.


<PAGE>

            11.1.6 MAKE WHOLE AMOUNT

under Section 2.11 of the Trust Indenture.

            11.1.7 RETURN OF EQUIPMENT NOTES

      Subject to compliance by Owner Trustee and Lessee with all applicable
terms and conditions for voluntary prepayment under the Trust Indenture and this
Agreement, each Note Holder will transfer to Owner Trustee the Equipment Notes

receipt by such Note Holder of the then-outstanding principal amount of such
Equipment Notes, accrued and unpaid interest and Make-Whole Amount, if any,
thereon, together with payment in full of all other amounts then payable to such
Note Holder and Mortgagee hereunder or under the Trust Indenture.

      11.2 LIMITATIONS ON OBLIGATION TO REFUND

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner Participant shall have no obligation
to proceed with any refunding transaction as contemplated by this Section 11:

      (a) If such transaction would have, or creates a material risk of, an
adverse tax consequence to Owner Participant unless Lessee agrees to indemnify
Owner Participant against such adverse tax consequence;

      (b) Unless Lessee indemnifies Owner Participant for any liability,
obligation (other than the obligation to pay principal and interest and related

      11.3 EXECUTION OF CERTAIN DOCUMENTS

      Lessee, Owner Participant, Owner Trustee and Mortgagee each agree to

transaction where the New Debt is sold in a public offering under the Securities
Act or a private placement intended for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the
Securities Act, in which case the holders of the New Debt shall be subject to
the restrictions relating to ERISA substantially the same as those applicable to

Certificates.

SECTION 13. CHANGE OF CITIZENSHIP

      13.1 GENERALLY

      Without prejudice to the representations, warranties or covenants
regarding the status of any party hereto as a Citizen of the United States:

      (a) Each of Lessee, First Security, WTC and Mortgagee agrees that it will,
immediately upon obtaining knowledge of any facts that would cast doubt upon its
continuing status as a Citizen of the United States and promptly upon public
disclosure of negotiations in respect of any transaction which would or might
adversely affect such status, notify in writing all parties hereto of all
relevant matters in connection therewith; and

      (b) Owner Participant agrees that, in the event its status is to change or
has changed as a Citizen of the United States, or it makes public disclosure of
circumstances as a result of which it believes that such status is likely to
change, it will notify all the other parties to this Participation Agreement of
(i) such change in status promptly after obtaining Actual Knowledge thereof or
(ii) such belief as soon as practicable after such public disclosure but in any
event within ten Business Days after such public disclosure.

      13.2 OWNER PARTICIPANT

      Owner Participant agrees, solely for the benefit of Lessee and the Note
Holders that if, during such time as the Aircraft is registered in the United
States, (a) it shall not be a Citizen of the United States and (b) the Aircraft
shall be, or would therefore become, ineligible for registration in the name of
Owner Trustee under the Act and regulations then applicable thereunder (without
giving consideration to Section 47.9 of the FAA Regulations or any other
provision that may restrict Lessee's use or operation of the Aircraft), then
Owner Participant shall as soon as is reasonably practicable, but in any event
within 30 days after obtaining Actual Knowledge of such ineligibility and of
such loss of citizenship, (y) effect voting trust or other similar arrangements
(in which case any provisions contained in the Operative Agreements restricting
Owner Participant's or Owner Trustee's ability to amend the Trust Agreement
shall not apply to the extent necessary to permit the use of such a voting trust
or other similar arrangement) or take any other action as may be necessary to
prevent any deregistration or maintain the United States registration of the

<PAGE>

Aircraft or (z) transfer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement all its
right, title and interest in and to this Agreement, the Trust Estate and the
Trust Agreement in accordance with Section 10.1.

      13.3 OWNER TRUSTEE

      Upon First Security giving any notice in accordance with Section 13.1(a),
Owner Trustee shall, subject to Section 9.1.1 of the Trust Agreement, resign as
Owner Trustee. Upon its receipt of such notice, Owner Participant shall as
promptly as practicable appoint a Citizen of the United States as successor
Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 9.1 of the Trust Agreement.

      13.4 MORTGAGEE

      Upon WTC giving any notice in accordance with Section 13.1(a), Mortgagee
shall (if and so long as such citizenship is necessary under the Act as in
effect at such time or, if it is not necessary, if and so long as Mortgagee's
citizenship could have any adverse effect on Lessee, any Participant or any Note
Holder), subject to Section 8.02 of the Trust Indenture, resign as Mortgagee
promptly upon its ceasing to be such a citizen.

SECTION 14. CONCERNING OWNER TRUSTEE

      It is understood and agreed that, except as otherwise expressly provided
herein or in the Trust Agreement or the Trust Indenture, Owner Trustee is
entering into this Agreement solely in its capacity as trustee as provided in
the Trust Agreement and not in its individual capacity and in no case whatsoever
will it be liable or accountable in its individual capacity for any of the
statements, representations, warranties, agreements or obligations of Owner
Trustee hereunder, or for any loss in respect thereof, as to all of which the
parties agree to look solely to the Trust Estate; PROVIDED, that nothing in this
Section 14 shall be deemed to limit in scope or substance the personal liability
of First Security (a) to Owner Participant as expressly set forth in the Trust
Agreement, (b) in respect of the representations, warranties and agreements of
First Security expressly made as such herein or in any other Operative Agreement
to which it is a party, and (c) for the consequences of its own gross
negligence, willful misconduct, and, in receiving, handling or remitting of
funds only, its willful misconduct or simple negligence as a trustee.

SECTION 15. MISCELLANEOUS

      15.1 AMENDMENTS

terminate or otherwise vary and is signed by the party against which the
enforcement of the amendment, supplement, waiver, modification, discharge,
termination or variance is sought. Each such amendment, supplement, waiver,
modification, discharge, termination or variance shall be effective only in the

an agreement, document or instrument in writing and signed by the party against
which enforcement of the same is sought.

      15.2 SEVERABILITY

      If any provision hereof shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
any respect in any jurisdiction, then, to the extent permitted by Law, (a) all
other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect in such
jurisdiction and (b) such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not
affect the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other
jurisdiction. If, however, any Law pursuant to which such provisions are held
invalid, illegal or unenforceable may be waived, such Law is hereby waived by
the parties hereto to the full extent permitted, to the end that this Agreement
shall be deemed to be a valid and binding agreement in all respects, enforceable
in accordance with its terms.

previously or hereafter furnished to any party hereto, may be reproduced by such
party by any photographic, photostatic, microfilm, micro-card, miniature

evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding
(whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such
reproduction was made by such party in the regular course of business) and any
enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction likewise is
admissible in evidence.

any party hereto in exercising, any of its respective rights, powers, remedies
or privileges under this Agreement or provided at Law, in equity or otherwise
shall impair, prejudice or constitute a waiver of any such right, power, remedy
or privilege or be construed as a waiver of any breach hereof or default
hereunder or as an acquiescence therein nor shall any single or partial exercise
of any such right, power, remedy or privilege preclude any other or further
exercise thereof by it or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or
privilege by it. No notice to or demand on any party hereto in any case shall,
unless otherwise required under this Agreement, entitle such party to any other
or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a
waiver of the rights of any party hereto to any other or further action in any
circumstances without notice or demand.
