     DELTA AIR LINES, INC. (together with its successors and permitted assigns, “Company”)
hereby promises to pay to U.S. BANK TRUST NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Subordination Agent under the
Intercreditor Agreement, or the registered assignee thereof, the principal amount of THREE MILLION
AND SIXTY-EIGHT THOUSAND Dollars ($3,068,000) on January 2, 2016 and to pay interest in arrears on each
Payment Date at the Debt Rate on the principal amount remaining unpaid from time to time
(calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days comprised of twelve 30-day months) from the date
hereof, or from the most recent date to which interest hereon has been paid or duly provided for,
until paid in full. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any date on which
a payment under this Equipment Note becomes due and payable is not a Business Day, then such
payment shall not be made on such scheduled date but shall be made on the next succeeding Business

same force and effect as if made on such scheduled date, and if payment is made on such next
succeeding Business Day, no interest shall accrue on the amount of such payment from and after such
scheduled date.




     For purposes hereof, the term “Indenture” means the Indenture and Security Agreement (N377DA),
dated as of December 17, 2010, between Company and U.S. Bank Trust National Association, as Loan
Trustee (“Loan Trustee”), as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified
from time to time in accordance with its terms. All capitalized terms used in this Equipment Note
and not defined herein, unless the context otherwise requires, shall have the respective meanings
set forth or incorporated by reference, and shall be construed and interpreted in the manner
described, in the Indenture.



     This Equipment Note shall bear interest, payable on demand, at the Past Due Rate (and not the
Debt Rate) (calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days comprised of twelve 30-day months) on any
principal amount and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) Make-Whole Amount, if any,
interest, and any other amounts payable hereunder not paid when due for any period during which the
same is overdue, in each case for the period the same is overdue. Amounts shall be overdue if not
paid in the manner provided herein or in the Indenture when due (whether at stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise).



     There shall be maintained an Equipment Note Register for the purpose of registering transfers
and exchanges of Equipment Notes at the Corporate Trust Office of Loan Trustee, or at the office of
any successor trustee, in the manner provided in Section 2.07 of the Indenture.



     The principal amount and interest and other amounts due hereunder shall be payable in Dollars
in immediately available funds at the Corporate Trust Office of Loan Trustee, or as otherwise
provided in the Indenture. Company shall not have any responsibility for the distribution of any
such payment to Noteholder of this Equipment Note. Each such payment shall be made on the date
such payment is due and without any presentment or surrender of this Equipment Note, except that in
the case of any final payment with respect to this Equipment Note, the Equipment Note shall be
surrendered to Loan Trustee for cancellation.



     The holder hereof, by its acceptance of this Equipment Note, agrees that, except as provided
in the Indenture, including the subordination provisions referred to below, each payment of an
installment of principal amount, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest received by it hereunder
shall be applied: first, to the payment of accrued interest on this Equipment Note (as
well as any interest on (i) any overdue principal amount, and (ii) to the extent
permitted by law, any overdue Make-Whole Amount, if any, any overdue interest and any other overdue amounts hereunder) to the date of such payment;
second, to the payment of Make-Whole Amount, if any, with respect to this Equipment

Note; third, to the payment of the principal amount of this Equipment Note (or portion

to the payment of installments of the principal amount of this Equipment Note (or portion thereof)
remaining unpaid in the inverse order of their maturity.

and Loan Trustee shall deem and treat the Person in whose name this Equipment Note is registered on
the Equipment Note Register as the absolute owner and holder hereof for the purpose of receiving
all amounts payable with respect to this Equipment Note and for all purposes, and neither Company
nor Loan Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.



     This Equipment Note is subject to redemption as provided in Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 2.12 of
the Indenture but not otherwise. In addition, this Equipment Note may be accelerated as provided

Trustee by manual signature, this Equipment Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the
Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.
