            WHEREAS, the Company has obtained commitments from the
Manufacturer pursuant to the Aircraft Purchase Agreements for the delivery of
the 32 aircraft listed in Schedule I hereto (together with any aircraft
substituted therefor in accordance with an Aircraft Purchase Agreement prior

Pass Through Trustee will fund its purchase of Equipment Notes with the

            NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and
the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto agree as follows:

            SECTION 1.  FINANCING OF NEW AIRCRAFT.  (a)  The Company confirms
that it has entered into the Aircraft Purchase Agreements with the
Manufacturer pursuant to which the Company has agreed to purchase, and the
Manufacturer has agreed to deliver, the Eligible Aircraft in the months
specified in Schedule I hereto, all on and subject to terms and conditions
specified in the applicable Aircraft Purchase Agreement.  The Company agrees
to finance the New Aircraft in the manner provided herein, all on and subject
to the terms and conditions hereof and of the relevant Financing Agreements.

            (b)   In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company agrees to give
the parties hereto, the Depositary and each of the Rating Agencies not less
than two Business Days' prior notice substantially in the form of Exhibit B
hereto (a "DELIVERY NOTICE") of the scheduled delivery date (the "SCHEDULED
DELIVERY DATE") (or, in the case of a substitute Delivery Notice under

<PAGE>

Section 1(e) or (f) hereof, one Business Day's prior notice) in respect of
each New Aircraft under the applicable Aircraft Purchase Agreement, which
notice shall:

            (i)  specify whether the Company has elected to treat such New
Aircraft as a Leased Aircraft or an Owned Aircraft;

            (ii)  specify the Scheduled Delivery Date of such New Aircraft
(which shall be a Business Day before the Cut-off Date and, except as
provided in Section 1(f) hereof, the date (the "FUNDING DATE") on which the
financing therefor in the manner provided herein shall be consummated);

            (iii)  instruct each Pass Through Trustee being requested to
purchase Equipment Notes pursuant to such Delivery Notice (the "APPLICABLE
PASS THROUGH TRUSTEES") to instruct the relevant Escrow Agent to provide a
Notice of Purchase Withdrawal to the Depositary with respect to the Equipment
Notes to be issued in connection with the financing of such New Aircraft
(except in the case of any such financing on the Issuance Date);

            (iv)  instruct each Applicable Pass Through Trustee to enter into
the Participation Agreement included in the Financing Agreements with respect
to such Aircraft in such form and at such a time on or before the Funding
Date specified in such Delivery Notice and to perform its obligations
thereunder;

            (v)  specify the aggregate principal amount of each series of
Equipment Notes, if any, to be issued, and purchased by the Applicable Pass
Through Trustees, in connection with the financing of such New Aircraft
scheduled to be delivered on such Funding Date (which shall in all respects
comply with the Mandatory Economic Terms); and

            (vi)  if such New Aircraft is to be a Leased Aircraft, certify
that the related Owner Participant (A) is not an Affiliate of the Company and
(B) based on the representations of such Owner Participant, is either (1) a
Qualified Owner Participant or (2) any other person the obligations of which
under the Owner Participant Agreements (as defined in the applicable
Participation Agreement) are guaranteed by a Qualified Owner Participant.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Issuance Date coincides with
the Scheduled Delivery Date of any Aircraft to be financed pursuant to the
terms hereof, the Delivery Notice therefor may be delivered to the parties
hereto on such Scheduled Delivery Date.

<PAGE>

            (c)   Upon receipt of a Delivery Notice, the Applicable Pass
Through Trustees shall, and shall cause the Subordination Agent to, enter
into and perform their obligations under the Participation Agreement
specified in such Delivery Notice, PROVIDED that such Participation Agreement
and the other Lease Financing Agreements or Owner Financing Agreements to be
entered into pursuant to such Participation Agreement shall be in the forms
thereof annexed hereto in all material respects with such changes therein as
shall have been requested by the related Owner Participant (in the case of
Lease Financing Agreements) or by the initial purchasers of the Series D
Equipment Notes or Class D Pass Through Certificates, agreed to by the
Company and, if modified in any material respect, as to which Rating Agency
Confirmation shall have been obtained from each Rating Agency by the Company
(to be delivered by the Company to the Applicable Pass Through Trustees on or
before the relevant Funding Date, it being understood that if Rating Agency
Confirmation shall have been received with respect to any Financing
Agreements and such Financing Agreements are utilized for subsequent New
Aircraft (or Substitute Aircraft) without material modifications, no
additional Rating Agency Confirmation shall be required); PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that the relevant Financing Agreements as executed and delivered shall not
vary the Mandatory Economic Terms and shall contain the Mandatory Document
Terms.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if The Boeing Company or General
Electric Company, or any of their respective Affiliates, is the Owner
Participant with respect to any Leased Aircraft, the Leased Aircraft
Participation Agreement to be entered into pursuant to the Delivery Notice
with respect to such Leased Aircraft may be modified, if agreed to by the
Company, from the form annexed hereto (A) to add a Section 16 thereto
substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto and (B) in the case of The
Boeing Company or any of its Affiliates, Section 6.2 may be changed as set
forth in Exhibit E hereto, and such Leased Aircraft Participation Agreement,
as so modified, shall be deemed (1) to be substantially in the form thereof
annexed hereto and (2) by virtue of such modification not to be inconsistent
with the Mandatory Document Terms, (ii) if any Financing Agreement annexed
hereto shall not have been reviewed by either Rating Agency prior to the
Issuance Date, then, prior to the use thereof in connection with the
financing of any Aircraft hereunder, the Company shall obtain from each
Rating Agency a confirmation that the use of such Financing Agreement would
not result in (A) a reduction of the rating for any Class of Certificates
below the then current rating for such Class of Certificates or (B) a
withdrawal or suspension of the rating of any Class of Certificates, and

<PAGE>

(iii) an Indenture may be modified to the extent required pursuant to Section
4(a)(vi) of this Agreement. The Company shall pay the reasonable costs and
expenses of the Rating Agencies in connection with obtaining any such Rating
Agency Confirmation.  With respect to each New Aircraft, the Company shall
cause WTC (or such other person that meets the eligibility requirements to
act as loan trustee under the Leased Aircraft Indenture, Owned Aircraft
Indenture or Special Indenture) to execute as Loan Trustee the Financing
Agreements relating to such Aircraft to which such Loan Trustee is intended
to be a party, and shall concurrently therewith execute such Financing
Agreements to which the Company is intended to be a party and perform its
respective obligations thereunder.  Upon the request of either Rating Agency,
the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to each Rating Agency a
true and complete copy of each Financing Agreement relating to the financing
of each New Aircraft together with a true and complete set of the closing
documentation (including legal opinions) delivered to the related Loan
Trustee, Subordination Agent and Pass Through Trustee under the related
Participation Agreement.

            (d)   [Intentionally omitted.]

            (e)   If after giving any Delivery Notice, there shall be a delay
in the delivery of the Eligible Aircraft referred to therein, or if on the
Scheduled Delivery Date of the Eligible Aircraft the financing thereof in the
manner contemplated hereby shall not be consummated for whatever reason, the
Company shall give the parties hereto prompt notice thereof.  Concurrently
with the giving of such notice of postponement or subsequently, the Company
shall give the parties hereto a substitute Delivery Notice specifying the
date to which delivery and related financing of such Eligible Aircraft or of
another Eligible Aircraft of the same type in lieu thereof shall have been
re-scheduled (which shall be a Business Day before the Cut-off Date on which
the Escrow Agents shall be entitled to withdraw one or more Deposits under
each of the applicable Deposit Agreements to enable each Applicable Pass
Through Trustee to fund its purchase of the related Equipment Notes).  Upon
receipt of any such notice of postponement, each Applicable Pass Through
Trustee shall comply with its obligations under Section 5.01 of each of the
Trust Supplements and thereafter the financing of such Eligible Aircraft, as
specified in such substitute Delivery Notice, shall take place on the
re-scheduled Delivery Date therefor (all on and subject to the terms and

<PAGE>

conditions of the relevant Financing Agreements or other financing agreements
in the case of a Special Structure) unless further postponed as provided
herein.

            (f)   Anything in this Section 1 to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Company shall have the right at any time on or before the Scheduled
Delivery Date of any New Aircraft, and subsequent to its giving a Delivery
Notice therefor, to postpone the Scheduled Delivery Date of such New Aircraft
so as to enable the Company to change its election to treat such New Aircraft
as a Leased Aircraft or an Owned Aircraft by written notice of such
postponement to the other parties hereto.  The Company shall subsequently
give the parties hereto a substitute Delivery Notice complying with the
provisions of Section 1(b) hereof and specifying the new Funding Date for
such postponed New Aircraft (which shall be a Business Day occurring before
the Cut-off Date and on which the Escrow Agents shall be entitled to withdraw
Deposits under each of the applicable Deposit Agreements sufficient to enable
each Applicable Pass Through Trustee to fund its purchase of the related
Equipment Notes).  In addition, the Company shall have the further right,
anything in this Section 1 to the contrary notwithstanding, to accept
delivery of a New Aircraft under the applicable Aircraft Purchase Agreement
on the Delivery Date thereof by utilization of bridge financing of such New
Aircraft and promptly thereafter give the parties hereto a Delivery Notice
specifying a Funding Date not later than 30 days after the Delivery Date of
such New Aircraft and no later than the Cut-off Date and otherwise complying
with the provisions of Section 1(b) hereof.  All other terms and conditions
of this Note Purchase Agreement shall apply to the financing of any such New
Aircraft on the re-scheduled Funding Date therefor except (i) the
re-scheduled Funding Date shall be deemed the Delivery Date of such New
Aircraft for all purposes of this Section 1 and (ii) the related Financing
Agreements shall be amended to reflect the original delivery of such New
Aircraft to the Company.

            (g)   If the Scheduled Delivery Date for any Eligible Aircraft is
delayed (a) more than 30 days beyond the last day of the month set forth
opposite such Eligible Aircraft under the heading "Scheduled Delivery Months"
in Schedule I hereto or (b) beyond February 1, 2002, the Company may identify
for delivery a substitute aircraft therefor meeting the following conditions
(a "SUBSTITUTE AIRCRAFT"):  (i) a Substitute Aircraft must be a Boeing
737-800, 737-900, 767-200 or 767-400 aircraft manufactured after the date of

<PAGE>

this Agreement, (ii) one or more Substitute Aircraft of the same or different
types may be substituted for one or more Eligible Aircraft of the same or
different types so long as after giving effect thereto such substitution does
not vary the Mandatory Economic Terms and (iii) the Company shall be
obligated to obtain Rating Agency Confirmation in respect of the replacement
of any Eligible Aircraft by Substitute Aircraft.  Upon the satisfaction of
the conditions set forth above with respect to a Substitute Aircraft, the
Eligible Aircraft to be replaced shall cease to be subject to this Agreement
and all rights and obligations of the parties hereto concerning such Eligible
Aircraft shall cease, and such Substitute Aircraft shall become and
thereafter be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the
same extent as such Eligible Aircraft.

            (h)   The Company shall have no liability for the failure of the
Pass Through Trustees to purchase Equipment Notes with respect to any New
Aircraft or Substitute Aircraft.

            (i)   The parties agree that if, in connection with the delivery
of a New Aircraft or Substitute Aircraft, any Owner Participant who is to be
a party to any Lease Financing Agreement shall not be a "Citizen of the
United States" within the meaning of Section 40102(a)(15) of the Act, then
the applicable Lease Financing Agreements shall be modified, consistent with
the Mandatory Document Terms, to require such Owner Participant to enter into
a voting trust, voting powers or similar arrangement satisfactory to the
Company that (A) enables such New Aircraft or Substitute Aircraft to be
registered in the United States and (B) complies with the FAA regulations
issued under the Act applicable thereto.

            (j)   Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Company shall not have the right, and shall not be entitled, at any time to
request the issuance of Equipment Notes of any series to any Pass Through
Trustee in an aggregate principal amount in excess of the amount of the
Deposits then available for withdrawal by the Escrow Agent under and in
accordance with the provisions of the related Deposit Agreement.

            SECTION 2.  CONDITIONS PRECEDENT.  The obligation of the Pass
Through Trustees to enter into, and to cause the Subordination Agent to enter
into, any Participation Agreement as directed pursuant to a Delivery Notice
and to perform its obligations thereunder is subject to satisfaction of the
following conditions:

<PAGE>

            (a)   no Triggering Event shall have occurred;

            (b)   the Company shall have delivered a certificate to each such
Pass Through Trustee and the Liquidity Provider stating that (i) such
Participation Agreement and the other Financing Agreements to be entered into
pursuant to such Participation Agreement do not vary the Mandatory Economic
Terms and contain the Mandatory Document Terms, and (ii) any substantive
modification of such Financing Agreements from the forms of Financing
Agreements attached to this Agreement do not materially and adversely affect
the Certificateholders, and such certification shall be true and correct.

            Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligation
of each Pass Through Trustee to purchase Equipment Notes shall terminate on
the Cut-off Date.

            SECTION 3.  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.  (a)  The Company
represents and warrants that:

                  (i)  the Company is duly incorporated, validly existing and

            SECTION 4.  COVENANTS.  (a)  The Company covenants with each of
the other parties hereto that:

            (i)  [Intentionally omitted];

            (ii)  subject to Section 4(a)(iv) of this Agreement, the Company
shall at all times maintain its corporate existence and shall not wind up,
liquidate or dissolve or take any action, or fail to take any action, that
would have the effect of any of the foregoing;

            (iii)  the Company shall at all times remain a U.S. Air Carrier
(as defined in the Financing Agreements) and shall at all times be otherwise
certificated and registered to the extent necessary to entitle (i) in the
case of Leased Aircraft, the Owner Trustee (and the Loan Trustee as assignee
of the Owner Trustee's rights under each Lease) to the rights afforded to
lessors of aircraft equipment under Section 1110 and (ii) in the case of
Owned Aircraft, the Loan Trustee to the rights afforded to secured parties of
aircraft equipment under Section 1110;

            (iv)  Section 13.2.1 of each Lease is hereby incorporated by
reference herein;

            (v)  the Company agrees to provide written notice to each of the
parties hereto of the occurrence of the Cut-off Date no later than one

right, title and interest to the Trust Property (as defined in each Pass
Through Trust Agreement) to the trustee of the Related Trust (as defined in
each Pass Through Trust Agreement) in accordance with Section 7.01 of each of
the Trust Supplements; and

            (vi)  the Company shall not issue Series D Equipment Notes

(ii) a withdrawal or suspension of the rating of any Class of Certificates.
If Series D Equipment Notes are initially issued to other than the pass

to this Agreement.

            (b)   WTC, in its individual capacity, covenants with each of the
other parties to this Agreement 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" as defined in Section 40102(a)(15) of the Act
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.
Upon WTC giving any such notice, WTC shall, subject to Section 8.02 of any
Indenture then entered into, resign as Loan Trustee in respect of such
Indenture.

            SECTION 5.  NOTICES.  Unless otherwise specifically provided
herein, all notices required or permitted by the terms of this Agreement
shall be in English and in writing, and any such notice shall become
effective upon being delivered personally or, if promptly confirmed by mail,
when dispatched by facsimile or other written telecommunication, addressed to

Liquidity Facility minus Investment Earnings while such Downgrade Advance
shall be outstanding, (B) the amount equal to interest on any Non-Extension
Advance (other than any Applied Non-Extension Advance) payable under Section

pursuant to clause (A) or (B)), (ii) all compensation and reimbursement of
expenses, disbursements and advances payable by the Company under the Pass

expenses and disbursements payable to the Subordination Agent under the

incurred by the Subordination Agent in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the Intercreditor Agreement and (iv) in the event the Company
requests any amendment to any Operative Agreement, all reasonable fees and

The terms "Trust Indenture Form," "Lease Form" and "Participation Agreement
Form" shall have the respective meanings specified in Schedule VI to the Note

      Lease or to eliminate any of the obligations secured thereby or
      otherwise modify in any material adverse respect as regards the
      interests of the Note Holders, the Subordination Agent, the Liquidity
      Providers or the Mortgagee the provisions of Article II or III or
      Section 4.02, 4.03, 4.04, 5.02, 5.06, 9.01(b), 10.04, 10.11 or 10.12 of

      the legal opinions to be provided to such Persons thereunder
      (recognizing that the lawyers rendering such opinions may be changed)
      or of the provisions of Section 7.6.11(a)(ii) of the Participation
      Agreement Form as regards the rights of the Mortgagee thereunder or

            (a)   Assignor shall at all times remain liable (i) to
      Manufacturer under the Purchase Agreement to perform all the duties and
      obligations of the "Buyer" thereunder and (ii) to Engine Manufacturer
      under the General Terms Agreement to perform all the duties and
      obligations of the "Airline" thereunder, in each case to the same
      extent as if this Assignment had not been executed,

            (b)   the exercise by Assignee of any of the rights assigned
      hereunder shall not release Assignor from any of its duties or
      obligations to Manufacturer under the Purchase Agreement or to Engine
      Manufacturer under the General Terms Agreement except to the extent
      that such exercise by Assignee shall constitute performance of such
      duties and obligations, and

            (c)   except as provided in the next sentence, none of Assignee,
      Mortgagee or any Participant shall have any obligation or liability
      under the Purchase Agreement or the General Terms Agreement by reason
      of, or arising out of, this Assignment or be obligated to perform any
      of the obligations or duties of Assignor under the Purchase Agreement
      or the General Terms Agreement or to make any payment thereunder or to

<PAGE>

      make any inquiry as to the sufficiency of any payment received by any
      of them or to present or file any claim or to take any other action to
      collect or enforce any claim for any payment assigned hereunder.

Anything contained in this Assignment, the Consent and Agreement or the Engine
Consent and Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, but without in any way
releasing Assignor from any of its duties or obligations under the Purchase
Agreement, the General Terms Agreement or this Assignment, Assignee and
Mortgagee confirm for the benefit of Manufacturer and Engine Manufacturer,
respectively, that, insofar as the provisions of the Purchase Agreement or the
Engine Warranties relate to the Aircraft or the Engines, as the case may be, in
exercising any rights under the Purchase Agreement or the Engine Warranties, or
in making any claim with respect to the Aircraft or other goods and services
delivered or to be delivered pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or the Engine
Warranties, the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement and the Engine
Warranties including, without limitation, the Disclaimer and Release and
Exclusion of Liabilities provisions of Article 12, including without limitation
Exhibit B (the "Product Assurance Document") and Exhibit C (the "Customer
Support Document") of the Purchase Agreement shall apply to, and be binding
upon, Assignee and Mortgagee to the same extent as Assignor.

            Section 5. PRESERVATION OF RIGHTS. Nothing contained in this
Assignment shall in any way diminish or limit the provisions of Assignor's
indemnity in Section 9 of the Participation Agreement with respect to any
liability of Assignee to Manufacturer in any way relating to or arising out of
the Purchase Agreement. Nothing contained in this Assignment shall subject
Manufacturer or Engine Manufacturer to any obligation or liability to which it
would not otherwise be subject under the Purchase Agreement or under the General
Terms Agreement, as the case may be, or modify in any respect the contract
rights of Manufacturer or Engine Manufacturer thereunder, except as may be
provided in the Consent and Agreement and the Engine Consent and Agreement, or
require Manufacturer to divest itself of title to or possession of the Aircraft
or other goods and services until delivery thereof and payment therefor as
provided in the Purchase Agreement or subject Manufacturer or Engine
Manufacturer to any multiple or duplicative liability or obligation under the
Purchase Agreement or the General Terms Agreement, as the case may be. No
further assignment of the Engine Warranties, including without limitation

<PAGE>

assignments for security purposes (other than under the Trust Indenture), are
permitted without the express written consent of Engine Manufacturer.

            Section 6. APPOINTMENT OF ATTORNEY. Effective at any time when a
Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (i) unless
Assignee and Mortgagee (so long as the Lien of the Trust Indenture has not been
discharged), in their sole discretion, shall notify Manufacturer or Engine
Manufacturer, as the case may be, to the contrary, the authorization given to
Assignor under Section 3 hereof to enforce such rights and claims shall
henceforth cease to be effective and Assignee and its successors and permitted
assigns shall, to the exclusion of Assignor, be entitled to assert and enforce
such rights and claims as substitute party plaintiff or otherwise, and Assignor
shall, at the request of Assignee or its successors or permitted assigns and at
Assignor's expense, cooperate with and take such action as is reasonably
necessary to enable Assignee and its successors and permitted assigns to enforce
such rights and claims, and (ii) Assignor does hereby constitute Assignee, its
successors and permitted assigns, Assignor's true and lawful attorney,
irrevocably, with full power (in the name of Assignor or otherwise) to ask,
require, demand, receive, compound and give acquittance for any and all monies
and claims for monies due and to become due under, or arising out of, the
Purchase Agreement in respect of the Aircraft or the Engine Warranties in
respect of the Engines, as the case may be, to the extent that the same have
been assigned by this Assignment and, for such period as Assignee may exercise
rights with respect thereto under this Assignment, to endorse any checks or
other instruments or orders in connection therewith and to file any claims or
take any action or institute (or, if previously commenced, assume control of)
any proceeding and to obtain any recovery in connection therewith which Assignee
may deem to be necessary or advisable in the premises.

            Section 7. OTHER ACTION. Assignor agrees that, at Assignor's sole
cost and expense, at any time and from time to time, upon the written request of
Assignee or, so long as the Lien of the Trust Indenture has not been discharged,
Mortgagee, Assignor will promptly and duly execute and deliver any and all such
further instruments and documents and take such further action as Assignee or,
so long as the Lien of the Trust Indenture has not been discharged, Mortgagee,
may reasonably request in order to obtain the full benefits of this Assignment
and of the rights and powers herein granted.

            Section 8. ASSIGNOR'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Assignor does
hereby represent and warrant that the Purchase Agreement and the General Terms

<PAGE>

Agreement are in full force and effect as to Assignor and are enforceable
against Assignor in accordance with their respective terms. Assignor does hereby
further represent and warrant that Assignor has, with the authorized execution
of the Consent and Agreement and the Engine Consent and Agreement, (i) received
all necessary consents to the assignment and transfer contemplated herein
(including without limitation the assignment and transfer contemplated herein of
Assignor's rights under the Purchase Agreement and the General Terms Agreement)
and (ii) assuming that the Consent and Agreement and the Engine Consent and
Agreement are in full force and effect, such consents are in full force and
effect and Assignor further represents and warrants that Assignor has not
assigned (except as assigned hereby) or pledged (except pursuant to the 737
Purchase Agreement Assignment dated as of November 27, 1996 between Lessee and
Manufacturer, the Lien of which will have been released at or prior to the
delivery of this Agreement), and hereby covenants that it will not during the
Term assign (except as assigned hereby) or pledge so long as this Assignment
shall remain in effect, the whole or any part of the rights hereby assigned or
any of its rights with respect to the Aircraft under the Purchase Agreement or
with respect to the Engines under the General Terms Agreement not assigned
hereby to anyone other than Assignee.

            Section 9. PAYMENTS. Notwithstanding this Assignment and anything
herein to the contrary, all amounts that Manufacturer or Engine Manufacturer is
obligated to pay to Assignor under the Purchase Agreement with respect to the
Aircraft or under the General Terms Agreement with respect to the Engines,
including, without limitation, resulting from the enforcement of any warranty,
covenant, representation, indemnity or product support agreement thereunder or
the enforcement or exercise of any right or power thereunder or hereunder (in
the case of Manufacturer, a "Manufacturer Payment," and in the case of Engine
Manufacturer, an "Engine Manufacturer Payment") (excluding, however, from
Manufacturer Payments and Engine Manufacturer Payments any amounts Manufacturer
is obligated to pay to Assignor with respect to the rights reserved to Assignor
in Section 2 hereof), will be payable and applicable as follows: all
Manufacturer Payments and Engine Manufacturer Payments shall be paid to Assignor

<PAGE>

unless and until Manufacturer or Engine Manufacturer, as the case may be, shall
have received written notice as set forth in Section 3 hereof from Assignee or
Mortgagee that a Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
whereupon Manufacturer or Engine Manufacturer, as the case may be, will, until
Manufacturer or Engine Manufacturer, as the case may be, shall have received
written notice from Assignee or Mortgagee that all Lease Events of Default have
been cured or waived, make any and all such payments directly to Assignee (or,
so long as the Trust Indenture has not been discharged and Manufacturer or
Engine Manufacturer, as the case may be, shall have received notice thereof, to
Mortgagee). Any amounts received by Assignee pursuant to the immediately
preceding sentence shall, to the extent not theretofore applied in satisfaction
of sums owing to Assignee in accordance with the terms of the Operative
Agreements, be held and invested as provided in Section 4.4 of the Lease.

            Section 10. ASSIGNEE'S AGREEMENT. Assignee agrees that, during the
Term, except as otherwise contemplated by Section 2 hereof and unless a Lease
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, it will not enter into
any agreement that would amend, modify, supplement, rescind, cancel or terminate
the Purchase Agreement or the General Terms Agreement in respect of the Aircraft
or the Engines without the prior written consent of Assignor.

            Section 11. EXECUTION; COUNTERPARTS, ETC. This Assignment is
executed by Assignor and Assignee concurrently with the execution and delivery
of the Lease. This Assignment may be executed by the parties hereto in separate

and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute one and the same
instrument. The section headings in this Assignment are for convenience of
reference only and shall not modify, define, expand or limit any of the terms or

(iii) (except as to clauses (C) and (E) and (F) of Section 8 of the
Participation Agreement) or (iv) of the preceding sentence, Assignee shall

<PAGE>

instruct the entity to which such information is disclosed to treat such

in the Purchase Agreement and including Exhibit C to the AGTA and excluding the
other Exhibits and Letter Agreements hereto), but excluding all other exhibits
and letter and supplemental agreements, to the extent that such Purchase
Agreement and such Exhibits relate to the Aircraft, as such Purchase Agreement
may hereafter be amended, supplemented and modified to the extent permitted by
the terms of this Assignment.

            Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the
respective meanings set forth or incorporated by reference, and shall be
construed and interpreted in the manner described, in the Participation
Agreement.

            Section 2. ASSIGNMENT. Assignor does hereby sell, assign, transfer
and set over unto Assignee and its successors and permitted assigns all of
Assignor's rights and interests in and to the Purchase Agreement, as and only to
the extent that the same relates to the Aircraft, and in and to the General
Terms Agreement, as and only to the extent that the Engine Warranties contained
therein relate to the Engines, except to the extent reserved below, including
without limitation in such assignment (a) all claims for damages in respect of
the Aircraft and the Engines arising as a result of any default by Manufacturer
under the Purchase Agreement or Engine Manufacturer or any other vendor or
supplier of other parts or equipment installed on or in the Aircraft, including
without limitation all warranty service life policies, aircraft performance
guarantees and indemnity provisions contained in the Purchase Agreement and the
Engine Warranties, and all claims arising thereunder, in respect of the Aircraft
and the Engines, (b) any and all rights of Assignor to compel performance of the
terms of the Purchase Agreement in respect of the Aircraft and the Engine
Warranties in respect of the Engines and (c) the right to purchase and take
title to the Aircraft pursuant to the Purchase Agreement; reserving to Assignor,
however, with respect to the Aircraft and each Engine, (i) all rights to receive
any credits due to Assignor with respect to the purchase price of the Aircraft
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and of the Engines pursuant to the General
Terms Agreement, (ii) all of Assignor's rights and interests in or arising out
of any payments or deposits made relating to the Aircraft or to be made by
Assignor or amounts credited or to be credited or paid or to be paid by the
Manufacturer to the Assignor in respect of the Aircraft and (iii) so long and
only so long as the Aircraft and each Engine shall be subject to the Lease and
no Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing thereunder, the
rights (A) to demand, accept and retain all rights in and to all property (other
than the Aircraft), data and services that Manufacturer or Engine Manufacturer
is obligated to provide or does provide pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or

<PAGE>

the General Terms Agreement, as the case may be, and (B) to obtain services,
training, data and demonstration and test flights pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement or the General Terms Agreement, as the case may be.

            Assignee hereby accepts such assignment subject to the terms hereof.
Assignor has furnished a true copy of the Purchase Agreement and a true copy of
the General Terms Agreement to Assignee and has specifically directed Assignee's
attention to Section 12 of Part 2, Section 5 of Part 3, Section 6 of Part 5 and
Section 3 of Part 6 of Exhibit C to the AGTA.

            Section 3. EXERCISE OF RIGHTS OF "CUSTOMER" UNDER PURCHASE AGREEMENT
AND OF "AIRLINE" UNDER GENERAL TERMS AGREEMENT. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if and so long as no Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, Assignee authorizes Assignor, to the exclusion of Assignee, during
the Term, to exercise in Assignor's name all rights and powers of the "Customer"
in respect of the Aircraft under the Purchase Agreement and of the "Airline" in
respect of each Engine under the General Terms Agreement, and of Assignee in
respect of a default by any vendor or supplier of parts and equipment (as
specified in clause (a) of Section 2 above) and to retain any recovery or
benefit resulting from the enforcement of any warranty or indemnity under the
Purchase Agreement or the General Terms Agreement in respect of the Aircraft or
each Engine, as the case may be, except that Assignor may not enter into any
change order or other amendment, modification or supplement to the Purchase
Agreement without the written consent or countersignature of Assignee if such
change order, amendment, modification or supplement would (i) result in any
rescission, cancellation or termination of the Purchase Agreement in respect of

<PAGE>

the Aircraft or (ii) materially diminish the rights assigned hereunder to
Assignee. Assignee agrees that, as between Assignee and Manufacturer or Engine
Manufacturer, as the case may be (and without affecting Assignor's duties or
obligations under the Participation Agreement or the Lease), neither
Manufacturer nor Engine Manufacturer, as the case may be, shall be deemed to
have knowledge of any Lease Default, Lease Event of Default, declaration of
default or the discontinuance or remedy thereof or the Aircraft or either Engine
being no longer subject to the Lease or any change in the authority of Assignor
or Assignee, as the case may be, to exercise any of the rights established
hereunder unless and until Manufacturer shall have received written notice
thereof from Assignee or Mortgagee addressed to its Vice President - Contracts
at P.O. Box 3707, Mail Code 21-34, Seattle, Washington 98124-2207, if by mail,
or to (425) 237-1706, if by facsimile, or, in the case of Engine Manufacturer,
Engine Manufacturer shall have received written notice thereof from Assignee or
Mortgagee addressed to General Electric Company, GE Aircraft Engines, One Neuman
Way, Cincinnati, Ohio 45215-6301, Attention: Director, Commercial Contracts, if
by facsimile. So long as Manufacturer and Engine Manufacturer act in good faith,
Manufacturer and Engine Manufacturer may rely conclusively on any such notice
without inquiring as to the accuracy of, or the entitlement of the party to
give, such notice.

            The Engine Manufacturer shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the
replacement of an Engine with another CF6-80C2B8F engine, until the Engine
Manufacturer has received written notice thereof. Such notice shall include the
serial number of the Engine being replaced, as well as the serial number of the
replacement Engine and shall be sent to: Lease Pool Manager, Customer Support
Operation, GE Aircraft Engines, 111 Merchant Street, Room 450, Cincinnati, Ohio
45246.

            Section 4. CERTAIN AGREEMENTS. It is expressly agreed that, anything
herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding:

            (a) Assignor shall at all times remain liable (i) to Manufacturer
      under the Purchase Agreement to perform all the duties and obligations of
      the "Customer" thereunder and (ii) to Engine Manufacturer under the
      General Terms Agreement to perform all the duties and obligations of the
      "Airline" thereunder, in each case to the same extent as if this
      Assignment had not been executed,


<PAGE>

            (b) the exercise by Assignee of any of the rights assigned hereunder
      shall not release Assignor from any of its duties or obligations to
      Manufacturer under the Purchase Agreement or to Engine Manufacturer under
      the General Terms Agreement except to the extent that such exercise by
      Assignee shall constitute performance of such duties and obligations, and

            (c) except as provided in the next sentence, none of Assignee,
      Mortgagee or any Participant shall have any obligation or liability under
      the Purchase Agreement or the General Terms Agreement by reason of, or
      arising out of, this Assignment or be obligated to perform any of the
      obligations or duties of Assignor under the Purchase Agreement or the
      General Terms Agreement or to make any payment thereunder or to make any
      inquiry as to the sufficiency of any payment received by any of them or to
      present or file any claim or to take any other action to collect or
      enforce any claim for any payment assigned hereunder.

Anything contained in this Assignment, the Consent and Agreement or the
Engine Consent and Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, but without in
any way releasing Assignor from any of its duties or obligations under the
Purchase Agreement, the General Terms Agreement or this Assignment, Assignee
and Mortgagee confirm for the benefit of Manufacturer and Engine
Manufacturer, respectively, that, insofar as the provisions of the Purchase
Agreement or the Engine Warranties relate to the Aircraft or the Engines, as
the case may be, in exercising any rights under the Purchase Agreement or the
Engine Warranties, or in making any claim with respect to the Aircraft or
other goods and services delivered or to be delivered pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement or the Engine Warranties, the terms and conditions of the
Purchase Agreement and the Engine Warranties including, without limitation,
the Disclaimer and Release and the Exclusion of Consequential and Other
Damages provisions of Article 11 of Part 2 of Exhibit C and Article 8 to the
AGTA, including without limitation Exhibit B (the "Product Assurance
Document") shall apply to, and be binding upon, Assignee and Mortgagee to the
same extent as Assignor.

            Section 5. PRESERVATION OF RIGHTS. Nothing contained in this
Assignment shall in any way diminish or limit the provisions of Assignor's
indemnity in Section 9 of the Participation Agreement with respect to any

<PAGE>

liability of Assignee to Manufacturer in any way relating to or arising out of
the Purchase Agreement. Nothing contained in this Assignment shall subject
Manufacturer or Engine Manufacturer to any obligation or liability to which it
would not otherwise be subject under the Purchase Agreement or under the General
Terms Agreement, as the case may be, or modify in any respect the contract
rights of Manufacturer or Engine Manufacturer thereunder, except as may be
provided in the Consent and Agreement and the Engine Consent and Agreement, or
require Manufacturer to divest itself of title to or possession of the Aircraft
or other goods and services until delivery thereof and payment therefor as
provided in the Purchase Agreement or subject Manufacturer or Engine
Manufacturer to any multiple or duplicative liability or obligation under the
Purchase Agreement or the General Terms Agreement, as the case may be. No
further assignment of the Engine Warranties, including without limitation
assignments for security purposes (other than under the Trust Indenture), are
permitted without the express written consent of Engine Manufacturer.

            Section 6. APPOINTMENT OF ATTORNEY. Effective at any time when a
Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (i) unless
Assignee and Mortgagee (so long as the Lien of the Trust Indenture has not been
discharged), in their sole discretion, shall notify Manufacturer or Engine
Manufacturer, as the case may be, to the contrary, the authorization given to
Assignor under Section 3 hereof to enforce such rights and claims shall
henceforth cease to be effective and Assignee and its successors and permitted
assigns shall, to the exclusion of Assignor, be entitled to assert and enforce
such rights and claims as substitute party plaintiff or otherwise, and Assignor
shall, at the request of Assignee or its successors or permitted assigns and at
Assignor's expense, cooperate with and take such action as is reasonably
necessary to enable Assignee and its successors and permitted assigns to enforce
such rights and claims, and (ii) Assignor does hereby constitute Assignee, its
successors and permitted assigns, Assignor's true and lawful attorney,
irrevocably, with full power (in the name of Assignor or otherwise) to ask,
require, demand, receive, compound and give acquittance for any and all monies
and claims for monies due and to become due under, or arising out of, the
Purchase Agreement in respect of the Aircraft or the Engine Warranties in
respect of the Engines, as the case may be, to the extent that the same have
been assigned by this Assignment and, for such period as Assignee may exercise

<PAGE>

rights with respect thereto under this Assignment, to endorse any checks or
other instruments or orders in connection therewith and to file any claims or
take any action or institute (or, if previously commenced, assume control of)
any proceeding and to obtain any recovery in connection therewith which Assignee
may deem to be necessary or advisable in the premises.

            Section 7. OTHER ACTION. Assignor agrees that, at Assignor's sole
cost and expense, at any time and from time to time, upon the written request of
Assignee or, so long as the Lien of the Trust Indenture has not been discharged,
Mortgagee, Assignor will promptly and duly execute and deliver any and all such
further instruments and documents and take such further action as Assignee or,
so long as the Lien of the Trust Indenture has not been discharged, Mortgagee,
may reasonably request in order to obtain the full benefits of this Assignment
and of the rights and powers herein granted.

            Section 8. ASSIGNOR'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Assignor does
hereby represent and warrant that the Purchase Agreement and the General Terms
Agreement are in full force and effect as to Assignor and are enforceable
against Assignor in accordance with their respective terms. Assignor does hereby
further represent and warrant that Assignor has, with the authorized execution
of the Consent and Agreement and the Engine Consent and Agreement, (i) received
all necessary consents to the assignment and transfer contemplated herein
(including without limitation the assignment and transfer contemplated herein of
Assignor's rights under the Purchase Agreement and the General Terms Agreement)
and (ii) assuming that the Consent and Agreement and the Engine Consent and
Agreement are in full force and effect, such consents are in full force and
effect and Assignor further represents and warrants that Assignor has not
assigned (except as assigned hereby) or pledged (except pursuant to the 767
Purchase Agreement Assignment dated as of October 10, 1997 between Lessee and
Manufacturer, the Lien of which will have been released at or prior to the
delivery of this Agreement), and hereby covenants that it will not during the
Term assign (except as assigned hereby) or pledge so long as this Assignment
shall remain in effect, the whole or any part of the rights hereby assigned or
any of its rights with respect to the Aircraft under the Purchase Agreement or
with respect to the Engines under the General Terms Agreement not assigned
hereby to anyone other than Assignee.

            Section 9. PAYMENTS. Notwithstanding this Assignment and anything
herein to the contrary, all amounts that Manufacturer or Engine Manufacturer is

<PAGE>

obligated to pay to Assignor under the Purchase Agreement with respect to the
Aircraft or under the General Terms Agreement with respect to the Engines,
including, without limitation, resulting from the enforcement of any warranty,
covenant, representation, indemnity or product support agreement thereunder or
the enforcement or exercise of any right or power thereunder or hereunder (in
the case of Manufacturer, a "Manufacturer Payment," and in the case of Engine
Manufacturer, an "Engine Manufacturer Payment") (excluding, however, from
Manufacturer Payments and Engine Manufacturer Payments any amounts Manufacturer
is obligated to pay to Assignor with respect to the rights reserved to Assignor
in Section 2 hereof), will be payable and applicable as follows: all
Manufacturer Payments and Engine Manufacturer Payments shall be paid to Assignor
unless and until Manufacturer or Engine Manufacturer, as the case may be, shall
have received written notice as set forth in Section 3 hereof from Assignee or
Mortgagee that a Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
whereupon Manufacturer or Engine Manufacturer, as the case may be, will, until
Manufacturer or Engine Manufacturer, as the case may be, shall have received
written notice from Assignee or Mortgagee that all Lease Events of Default have
been cured or waived, make any and all such payments directly to Assignee (or,
so long as the Trust Indenture has not been discharged and Manufacturer or
Engine Manufacturer, as the case may be, shall have received notice thereof, to
Mortgagee). Any amounts received by Assignee pursuant to the immediately
preceding sentence shall, to the extent not theretofore applied in satisfaction
of sums owing to Assignee in accordance with the terms of the Operative
Agreements, be held and invested as provided in Section 4.4 of the Lease.

            Section 10. ASSIGNEE'S AGREEMENT. Assignee agrees that, during the
Term, except as otherwise contemplated by Section 2 hereof and unless a Lease
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, it will not enter into
any agreement that would amend, modify, supplement, rescind, cancel or terminate
the Purchase Agreement or the General Terms Agreement in respect of the Aircraft
or the Engines without the prior written consent of Assignor.

            Section 11. EXECUTION; COUNTERPARTS, ETC. This Assignment is
executed by Assignor and Assignee concurrently with the execution and delivery
of the Lease. This Assignment may be executed by the parties hereto in separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original,

<PAGE>

and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute one and the same
instrument. The section headings in this Assignment are for convenience of
reference only and shall not modify, define, expand or limit any of the terms or
provisions hereof.

Terms Agreement except (i) as required by applicable law or governmental
regulation, (ii) in connection with the financing of the Aircraft, (iii) as
permitted under Section 8 of the Participation Agreement as if this Assignment
were specifically referred to therein, (iv) with the consent of Assignor,
Manufacturer and the Engine Manufacturer (as the case may be) or (v) in
connection with any sale or lease of the Aircraft. Assignee further agrees that
in connection with any disclosures made as contemplated by clauses (ii) (except
in connection with the financing contemplated by the Participation Agreement),
(iii) (except as to clauses (C) and (E) and (F) of Section 8 of the
Participation Agreement) or (iv) of the preceding sentence, Assignee shall
instruct the entity to which such information is disclosed to treat such
information as confidential on the terms set forth in this Section 12.

            Section 13. ASSIGNMENT TO MORTGAGEE. The right, title and interest
of Assignee in and to this Assignment has been assigned to and is subject to a
security interest in favor of Wilmington Trust Company, as Mortgagee under the
Trust Indenture, for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Indenture
Indemnitees referred to in such Trust Indenture, all to the extent provided in
such Trust Indenture. Assignor hereby consents to such assignment and to the
creation of such security interest in and to this Assignment.

            SECTION 14. GOVERNING LAW. THIS ASSIGNMENT SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE
GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF
CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO PRINCIPLES OF

SECTION 16. OWNER PARTICIPANT'S RIGHT TO RESTRUCTURE

            16.1  GENERAL RIGHT TO RESTRUCTURE

            Lessee, Loan Participant and each Note Holder agree that after
the Delivery Date and subject to the limitations of Section 16.2, the
original Owner Participant (or any transferee Owner Participant that is an
Affiliate of the original Owner Participant) shall have the right to
restructure the Transactions using (a) a "cross-border lease," a tax lease or
a head-lease/sublease structure and (b) any other type of transaction, which
may involve special structural arrangements, as such Owner Participant may
elect (any such structure described above, a "Special Structure").  Any
Special Structure may result in additional persons participating in the
Transactions, which persons shall agree to provisions comparable to Sections
7.6.4(a) and 7.6.13.  Subject to the provisions of Sections 16.2 and 16.3,
Lessee, Loan Participant and each Note Holder agree to cooperate in the
implementation of any such restructuring and take such action as may
reasonably be requested by the original Owner Participant to accomplish such
restructuring, including taking such actions as may be reasonable or
customary in the type of Special Structure selected.  In connection with any
proposed Special Structure, Owner Participant shall provide all information
reasonably requested by Lessee, Loan Participant or any Note Holder with
respect thereto.  The original Owner Participant shall be entitled to retain
all of the benefits of any such transaction.

            16.2  LIMITATIONS ON RESTRUCTURING PROVISIONS; ADDITIONAL TERMS

                  16.2.1   LESSEE

            (a)   Notwithstanding Section 16.1 or 16.2.1(b), in no event
shall any such Special Structure (a) change the terms and conditions of
Lessee's rights and obligations, from those which Lessee would otherwise
possess or be subject to in the absence of any such Special Structure, in a
manner which is materially adverse to Lessee, (b) expose Lessee to any
additional risks (including overall tax risks) beyond those to which Lessee
would be exposed in the absence of any such Special Structure unless Lessee
shall have been indemnified against such additional risks by the original
Owner Participant, or other participants in such transaction (so long as such
original Owner Participant or other participants shall, as to their

<PAGE>

creditworthiness at the time any such indemnity is given, be reasonably
acceptable to Lessee) in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Lessee.  In no
event shall Lessee be required to provide an indemnity with respect to any
foreign tax benefit of a Special Structure or to indemnify against the
failure of a head-lease not to constitute a true lease for U.S. federal
income tax purposes.

            (b)   In any Special Structure that may be entered into pursuant
to this Section 16, the Termination Values under the Lease (as the same may
be restructured) shall not be affected by the termination values under any
head-lease, except that any prepayment premiums and any funding or swap
breakage costs under such head-lease or similar arrangement will be added in
calculating the Termination Values and Stipulated Loss Values under the Lease
(as the same may be restructured).  Further, upon implementation of any
Special Structure, the Stipulated Loss Values payable by Lessee under the
Lease (as the same may be restructured) shall in no event be less than the
stipulated loss values payable under the applicable head-lease or similar
arrangement.

                  16.2.2   LOAN PARTICIPANT AND CERTIFICATE HOLDERS

            Notwithstanding Section 16.1, any such Special Structure shall
not, and prior to the exercise of its rights thereunder, the Owner
Participant shall deliver an officer's certificate to the Pass Through
Trustee that provides that any such Special Structure shall not, (a) change
the terms and conditions of Loan Participant's, any Note Holder's or any Pass
Through Indemnitee's rights and obligations under the Operative Agreements or
rights and obligations of holders of Pass Through Certificates, from those
which Loan Participant, Note Holders, Pass Through Indemnitees and such Pass
Through Certificate holders would otherwise possess or be subject to in the
absence of such Special Structure (including, without limitation, the amount
and timing of any payment of principal, interest and Make-Whole Amount under
the Equipment Notes, the relative rights of the Note Holders with respect to
such payments and such holder of Pass Through Certificates and the priority
of Mortgagee's Lien on the Trust Indenture Estate under the Trust Indenture)
or (b) expose Loan Participant, any such Note Holder, any such Pass Through
Indemnitee or any such holder of Pass Through Certificates to any additional
risks beyond those to which Loan Participant, such Note Holder, Pass Through
Indemnitee or such holder of such Pass Through Certificates would be exposed
in the absence of such Special Structure.  In addition, in no event shall any

<PAGE>

Special Structure be permitted unless a written confirmation from the Rating
Agencies (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) is obtained prior to the
implementation of such Special Structure to the effect that such Special
Structure will not adversely affect the ratings of the Pass Through
Certificates.

            16.3  TRANSACTION EXPENSES

            Whether or not any proposed restructuring transaction under this
Section 16 is consummated, the original Owner Participant shall pay (or cause
to be paid) the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by all parties in
connection therewith and shall pay the reasonable costs and expenses of the
Rating Agencies in connection with obtaining the confirmations referred to in
Section 16.2.2; PROVIDED, that, only in connection with a consummated
transaction (unless Lessee shall have, by failing to act in good faith,
caused a transaction not to be consummated), Lessee shall pay or reimburse
such original Owner Participant for the original Owner Participant's
reasonable estimate of the costs and expenses that would have been incurred
by all parties if the Transactions had been restructured as a
head-lease/sublease transaction in which the original Owner Participant, or
an Affiliate or designee thereof, were the head-lessee/sublessor and Lessee
were the sublessee.
