                            Aircraft Lease Agreement

     This is a LEASE EXTENSION AND AMENDMENT AGREEMENT dated as of April 30,
2003 to the Aircraft Lease Agreement dated as of November 18, 1998 (the "Lease
Agreement") between AVIATION FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC. ("Lessor"), and COMPANIA
PANAMENA DE AVIACION, S.A. ("Lessee") as the Lease Agreement has been heretofore
supplemented, amended and modified by Lease Supplement No. 1 dated October 21,
1999 ("Lease Supplement No. 1"), by Letter Agreement No. 1 dated as of November
18, 1998 ("Letter Agreement No. 1") and by Letter Agreement No. 2 dated as of
March 8, 1999 ("Letter Agreement No. 2"), in each case between Lessor and Lessee
(the Lease Agreement as so supplemented, amended and modified is hereinafter
referred to as the "Lease").

     WHEREAS, the Lease is in respect of one Boeing 737-7V3 Aircraft
Manufacturer's Serial No. 28607 and Registration No. HP-1372CM, together with
two CFM International Model CFM 56-7B24 engines bearing manufacturer's serial
numbers 874969 and 874961 and certain related equipment (the "Aircraft"), and

     WHEREAS, Lessee and Lessor desire to extend the Term of the Lease and to
amend certain other terms thereof; and

     WHEREAS, capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have
the meanings ascribed to them in the Lease.

     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.   Amendments to Lease.

     The Lease is hereby amended as follows:

     A. Section 3(g) is hereby amended and restated as follows:

               "(g) Lease Term Renewal Options: Lessor hereby grants Lessee the
          right to renew the lease for up to three (3) additional, consecutive
          terms (each a "Renewal Term") (the option to renew for each Renewal
          Term being hereafter referred to as the "Lease Term Renewal Option").
          Each Renewal Term shall consist of twelve (12) months, and the first
          Renewal Term would commence the day following the Expiration Date of
          the Basic Term. Exercise of each Lease Term Renewal Option shall be
          subject to (i) the delivery by Lessee of written notice to Lessor (a
          "Renewal Notice") as to such exercise at least nine (9) months prior
          to the then applicable Expiration Date, and (ii) no Event of Default
          having occurred and continuing on or as of the date the Renewal Notice
          is received by

                                        1

<PAGE>

          Lessor or the first Basic Rent Payment Date of the applicable Renewal
          Term. The Basic Rent during any such Renewal Term shall be payable
          monthly in advance at the same monthly Basic Rent rate paid by Lessee
          during the Basic Term (as extended by any previous extension or
          exercise of a Lease Term Renewal Option) that would otherwise be
          expiring. Upon commencement of a Renewal Term the Basic Term shall be
          deemed extended so that the new Expiry Date becomes the date which
          occurs on the twelfth monthly anniversary of the Expiration Date in
          effect prior to the renewal and the new Last Basic Rent Payment Date
          becomes the date which occurs on the twelfth monthly anniversary of
          the Last Basic Rent Payment Date in effect prior to the renewal. Upon
          exercise of any Lease Term Renewal Option such Option shall be deemed
          extinguished and not be available for any subsequent re-exercise."

     B.   In Exhibit C, Part 2. DEFINITIONS OF CERTAIN TERMS, the following
          definitions are amended and restated to read:

          "BASIC RENT: The Basic Rent payable during the Basic Term shall be
          payable in one hundred twenty (120) consecutive monthly installments,
          in advance on each Basic Rent Payment Date, with each such installment
          equal to: (a) **Material Redacted** for the first twenty four monthly
          installments, (b) **Material Redacted** for the next twelve monthly
          installments, (c) **Material Redacted** for the twenty four monthly
          installments commencing with the thirty seventh (37th) installment and
          (d) **Material Redacted** for the sixty monthly installments of Basic
          Rent commencing November 1, 2004 and for each installment of Basic
          Rent during any Renewal Term which may be commenced in a period
          subsequent to the Expiration Date."

          "CASUALTY VALUE: For the period of the Lease through April 30, 2003
          **Material Redacted**; for the period May 1, 2003 through December 15,
          2004 **Material Redacted**; and for the one year period commencing
          December 16, 2004 and each one year period in the Lease Term
          commencing December 16 thereafter the amount of the Casualty Value in
          the immediately preceding one year period less **Material Redacted**."

          "LAST BASIC RENT PAYMENT DATE: The Last Basic Rent Payment Date for
          the Aircraft shall be October 1, 2009, or such later date as may
          result from exercise of the Lease Term Renewal Options.

               **Material Redacted** of the Winglets Actual Cost commencing on
               the first Basic Rent Payment Date following winglet installation.
               Upon installation, such winglets shall become a part of the

                    back onto the Aircraft,

               (III) FULL FACE OXYGEN MASKS, and

               After each installation of such additional modifications each
               monthly installment of Basic Rent will be increased by **Material

Lessee's right to seek a separate recovery of any payment of Rent which is not
due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Lease.

     If for any reason whatsoever this Lease shall be terminated in whole or in
part by operation of law, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, and
provided Lessee has not been deprived of possession and use of the Aircraft
under and in accordance with the provisions of this Lease as a consequence of
such termination, Lessee nonetheless agrees to pay to Lessor amounts equal to
the Rent payments hereunder at the time such payments would have become due and
payable in accordance with the terms hereof had this Lease not been terminated,
and so long as such payments are made and all other terms and conditions hereof
are complied with by Lessor and Lessee, Lessor

                                       13

<PAGE>

and Lessee will deem this Lease to remain in full force and effect; provided,
however that if any court validly exercising jurisdiction with respect to this
Lease orders the return of the Aircraft and such order is final and
non-appealable and binding upon the parties, and Lessee, in compliance with such
court order, returns the Aircraft to the Lessor in accordance with the terms of
this Lease (including Section 16) and such order, Lessee shall have no further
obligation to pay Rent hereunder to the Lessor that otherwise would accrue from
and after the date of such return.

<PAGE>

THE TERM "YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE" SHALL MEAN AND INCLUDE THE ABILITY OF THE
AIRCRAFT AND EACH PART THEREOF TO ACCURATELY PROCESS, PROVIDE AND/OR RECEIVE
DATE/TIME DATA (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION CALCULATING, COMPARING, OUTPUTTING
AND SEQUENCING), WITHIN, FROM, INTO, AND BETWEEN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY AND THE
TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY, INCLUDING LEAP YEAR CALCULATIONS SUCH THAT NEITHER THE
AIRCRAFT NOR ANY PART THEREOF OR SERVICE RELATED THERETO WILL BE AFFECTED BY
DATES/TIMES PRIOR TO, ON, AFTER OR SPANNING JANUARY 1, 2000. THE WARRANTIES AND
REPRESENTATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 5(a) ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL
OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND LESSOR
SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, EXCEPT THAT:

          (i) Lessor warrants that on the Delivery Date title to the Aircraft
shall be vested in Owner and the Aircraft shall be free and clear of any and all
Liens other than Lessor's Liens;

          (ii) Lessor further represents and warrants that Lessor is a
corporation duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of Delaware, and has the corporate power and authority to carry on its
business as presently conducted and to perform its obligations under this Lease;

          (iii) Lessor further represents and warrants that the Head Lease has
been duly entered into by the parties thereto, remains in full force and effect
as of the date hereof and no default or event of default (as defined therein)
has occurred and is continuing thereunder; and the making and performance by
Lessor of this Lease have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action
on the part of Lessor and will not violate any provision of law or its Articles
of Incorporation; and

          (iv) Lessor further represents and warrants that this Lease (including
Letter Agreement No. 1 and any other document to be executed by Lessor pursuant
to the terms hereof) has been duly entered into and delivered by Lessor, and
that this Lease does, and such other documents when executed and delivered
hereunder will, constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Lessor,
enforceable in accordance with their respective terms except as may be limited
by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws
affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally, and, to the extent
that certain remedies require or may require enforcement in equity, by such
principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in
a proceeding in equity or at law) as a court having jurisdiction may impose and
by laws which may affect some of such remedies but which do not make available
remedies inadequate for the substantial realization of the benefits provided
herein.

     (b) Manufacturers' Warranties. So long as (i) no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, (ii) the Lease has not terminated, or (iii) Lessor
has not terminated this Lease following an Event of Default, Lessor agrees to
authorize Lessee to exercise for the account of Lessor and Owner such rights as
Lessor or Owner may have under any warranty, express or implied, with respect to
the Aircraft made by the Manufacturer, the Engine Manufacturer, or the
manufacturer of any Part, to the extent that the same may be assigned or
otherwise made available to Lessee, and Lessee shall be entitled to
reimbursement from any monetary settlement under any such warranty;

                                       15

<PAGE>

provided, however, that upon an Event of Default and termination of this Lease
all such rights shall immediately revert to Lessor to the exclusion of Lessee
including all claims thereunder whether or not perfected. Upon Lessee's request,
Lessor shall execute and deliver (or cause Owner to execute and deliver) to
Lessee such assignments or other instruments as shall be required by the
Manufacturer, the Engine Manufacturer, or the manufacturer of any Part, to
enable Lessee to obtain the benefit of any assignable warranties and indemnities
given to Lessor or Owner by Manufacturer, the Engine manufacturer and other
vendors with respect to the Aircraft. To the extent that any warranty or
indemnity given to Lessor by Manufacturer and others with respect to the
Aircraft cannot be assigned, Lessee will be entitled to take such action to
enforce such warranty or indemnity in the name of Lessor against Manufacturer
and such other parties as Lessee sees fit, but subject to Lessee indemnifying
Lessor against all costs and expenses associated with such action.

     (c) Lessee's Representations and Warranties. Lessee hereby makes the
following representations and warranties, which representations and warranties
shall survive the execution and delivery of this Lease and the delivery of the
Aircraft:

          (i) Lessee is a corporation duly organized, and existing in good
standing under the Laws of the Country of Organization and has the corporate
power and authority to carry on its business as presently conducted and to
perform its obligations under this Lease;

          (ii) this Lease has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
action on the part of Lessee and does not require any approval of stockholders
of Lessee (or if such approval is required, such approval has been obtained),
and neither the execution and delivery hereof nor the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby nor compliance by Lessee with any of the terms
and provisions hereof will contravene any Law applicable to Lessee or result in
any breach of, or constitute any default under, or result in the creation of any
lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property of Lessee under, any credit
agreement or instrument, corporate charter or by-law or other agreement or
instrument to which Lessee is a party or by which Lessee or its properties or
assets are bound or affected;

          (iii) Lessee has received every consent, approval or authorization of,
and has given every notice to, each Governmental Entity having jurisdiction with
respect to the execution, delivery or performance of this Lease (including all
monetary and other obligations hereunder) that is required for Lessee to execute
and deliver this Lease and each such consent, approval or authorization is valid
and effective and has not been revoked, and on or before the Delivery Date
Lessee will have received such consents, approvals or authorizations, or will
have given such notices in order to perform the transactions contemplated
hereby;

          (iv) this Lease (including Letter Agreement No. 1) has been duly
executed and delivered by Lessee, and the Lease does, and the Lease Supplement
when executed and delivered by Lessee will, constitute legal, valid and binding
obligations of Lessee, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms,
except as enforcement thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally, and, to the extent that certain
remedies require or may require enforcement by a court of equity, by such
principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in
a proceeding in equity or at law) as a court having jurisdiction may impose and
by laws which may affect some of such remedies but which do not make the
available remedies inadequate for the

                                       16

<PAGE>

substantial realization of the benefits provided herein;

          (v) there are no suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of
Lessee, threatened in any court or before any regulatory commission, board or
other administrative Governmental Entity against or affecting Lessee which would
reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect Lessee's ability to
perform its obligations hereunder;

          (vi) Lessee has filed or caused to be filed all tax returns which are
required to be filed by it, and has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes shown to
be due or payable on said returns or on any assessment received by Lessee,
except to the extent the same are being contested by Lessee in good faith by
appropriate proceedings;

          (vii) except for compliance with the rules and regulations of the DAC
with respect to the filing for recordation of this Lease and the Lease
Supplement, and the placing on the Aircraft and on each Engine of the plates
containing the legends referred to in Section 6(f) hereof, no further filing or
recording of this Lease or of any other document and no further action, are
necessary under the Laws of any Governmental Entity (including without
limitation any Governmental Entity of the Government of Organization or the
Government of Registration) in order to (A) fully protect and establish Owner's
title to the Aircraft, and Owner's and Lessor's interests in and property rights
with respect to the Aircraft as against Lessee or any third party and to ensure
that property rights of Owner and Lessor therein will have priority in all
respects over the claims of all creditors of Lessee, or (B) ensure the validity,
effectiveness and enforceability of this Lease;

          (viii) Lessee is not in default in the performance of any of its
obligations (A) for the payment of indebtedness for borrowed money or of any
interest or premium thereon or (B) for the payment of rent under any lease or
agreement to lease real, personal or mixed property, in each case in respect of
obligations in amounts in excess of **Material Redacted**;

          (ix) the Maintenance Program for the Aircraft complies with all DAC
requirements;

          (x) there are no withholding or other Taxes of the Country of
Registration to be deducted from any payment to be made by Lessee under this
Lease; provided that Lessor is, and remains, an entity organized under the laws
of a country which has in effect a tax reciprocity treaty or agreement with
Panama which so provides;

          (xi) the choice of law to govern this Lease, as specified in Section
20(b) hereof, is a valid choice of law and such choice will be upheld in the
courts of the Country of Organization and the Country of Registration; and

          (xii) Lessee is subject to private commercial law and suit under the
Laws of the Country of Organization and the Country of Registration. Lessee is
not entitled to sovereign immunity under the Laws of the Country of
Organization, the Country of Registration or such other jurisdiction, and
neither Lessee nor its properties or assets have the right of immunity from suit
or execution on the grounds of sovereignty in the Country of Organization, the
Country of Registration, the United States of America or any other jurisdiction.
To the extent that Lessee, in

                                       17

<PAGE>

any jurisdiction in which proceedings may at any time be taken for the
determination of any question arising under or for the enforcement of this Lease
(including any interlocutory proceedings or the execution of any judgment or
award arising therefrom), may be entitled to claim or otherwise be accorded for
itself or its property, assets or revenues immunity from suit or attachment
(whether in aid of execution, before judgment or otherwise) or other legal
process, and to the extent that in any such jurisdiction, there may be
attributed to Lessee, or its property, assets or revenues such immunity (whether
or not claimed), Lessee hereby irrevocably agrees not to claim and waives such
immunity to the fullest extent permitted by the law of such jurisdiction.

     Section 6. Possession and Use.

     (a) Possession

          (i) SUBLEASE, ASSIGNMENT AND TRANSFER. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION

          (ii) CERTAIN LIMITATIONS ON TRANSFERS. WITH RESPECT TO ANY TRANSFER
PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 6(a):

          (A) THE RIGHTS OF ANY TRANSFEREE THAT RECEIVES POSSESSION BY REASON OF

          (iii) CERTAIN LIMITATIONS ON SUBLEASE. With respect to any transfer
pursuant to Section 6(a) which is a Permitted Sublease:

          (A) the term of such sublease (including, without limitation, any
option of the sublessee to renew or extend the sublease), shall not extend
beyond the end of the Term;

          (B) the rights of the sublessee shall be subject and subordinate to
all the terms of this Lease, including without limitation the right of
repossession pursuant to Section 18 and to avoid such sublessee's right to
possession upon such repossession;

          (C) Lessee shall remain primarily liable hereunder for the performance
of all the terms of this Lease to the same extent as if any such sublease had
not occurred;

          (D) such sublease shall provide that (i) the Aircraft, Airframe or any
Engine may not be operated or used other than as provided in Section 6 hereof,
(ii) Lessor may avoid or terminate such sublease following an Event of Default
hereunder and (iii) to the extent not accomplished by an assignment of sublease,
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lessee's rights under such sublease
shall automatically be deemed assigned to Lessor until such time as the Event of
Default has been cured;

          (E) no sublease of the Aircraft or any Engine shall in any way destroy
or diminish any of Lessor's rights hereunder or Owner's rights under the Head
Lease and such rights shall continue as if such sublease or transfer has not
occurred;

          (F) Lessee shall provide a copy of such proposed sublease to Lessor
for its review and approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld)
at least ten (10) Business

                                       20

<PAGE>

Days prior to the proposed effective date of such sublease and Lessee shall
reimburse Lessor within ten (10) Business Days after demand for Lessor's actual
out-of-pocket cost for such review whether or not Lessor gives approval.

          (G) such sublease shall expressly provide (x) that such sublessee will
not transfer possession or control of the Aircraft, the Airframe or an Engine to
anyone other than Lessee or Lessor (except as provided in Subsection
(a)(i)(A)-(E) of this Section 6) and (y) that all rights of the sublessee are
subject and subordinate to all the terms of this Lease including, without
limitation, in each instance, Lessor's rights to repossession pursuant to
Section 18 and Lessor's rights to avoid such sublessee's right to possession
upon such repossession;

          (H) such sublease shall include appropriate provisions (whether by
requiring such obligations to be performed by the sublessee, Lessee, or both)
for the operation, maintenance and insurance of the Aircraft and the Engines
subleased thereby which are comparable to, or more restrictive than, the
provisions of this Lease; and

          (I) such sublease shall expressly prohibit any assignment or further
sublease (other than as permitted by Subsection (a)(i) clauses (A)-(E) of this
Section 6) of the Aircraft, the Airframe or any Engine and any of the rights
under such sublease.

     (b) Reciprocal Recognition of Rights. In the event Lessee shall have
received from the lessor or secured party of any airframe leased to Lessee or
owned by Lessee subject to a conditional sale or other security agreement a
written agreement complying with clause (II) of Section 6(a)(i)(D) hereof (which
agreement may be contained in the lease, conditional sale agreement or security
agreement relating to such airframe), and such lease or conditional sale or
other security agreement covering such airframe also covers an engine or engines
owned by the lessor under such lease or subject to a security interest in favor
of the secured party under such conditional sale or other security agreement,
Lessor hereby agrees for the benefit of such lessor or secured party that Lessor
will not acquire or claim, as against such lessor or secured party, any right,
title or interest in any such engine as the result of such engine being
installed on the Airframe and any time while such engine is subject to such
lease or conditional sale or other security agreement and owned by such lessor
or subject to a security interest in favor of such secured party. Lessor also
hereby agrees for the benefit of the mortgagee under any mortgage complying with
clause (I) of Section 6(a)(i)(D) hereof, relating to installation of an Engine
on an airframe leased to Lessee, that Lessor will not acquire or claim, as
against such mortgagee, any right, title or interest in any engine subject to
the lien of such mortgage as the result of such engine being installed on the
Airframe at any time while such engine is subject to the lien of such mortgage.

     (c) Lawful Insured Operations. Lessee will not permit the Aircraft to be
maintained, used or operated in violation of any Law of any Governmental Entity
of the Country of Registration, the Country of Organization or any other
jurisdiction in which Lessee operates the Aircraft, or in violation of any
airworthiness certificate, or license or registration issued by any such
authority, or contrary to the Manufacturer's or Engine Manufacturer's operating
manuals or instructions for the Aircraft or the Engines. In the event that any
such Law requires alteration of the Aircraft, Lessee shall comply therewith at
its sole expense and shall maintain the same in proper condition for operation
under such Laws. Lessee agrees not to operate the Aircraft, or permit the
Aircraft to be operated during the Term, (i) unless the Aircraft is covered by
insurance as required by the

                                       21

<PAGE>

provisions hereof, or (ii) contrary to the terms of such insurance. Lessee also
agrees not to operate or locate the Aircraft or suffer or permit the Aircraft to
be operated or located during the Term in (A) any area excluded from coverage by
any insurance policy issued pursuant to the requirements of this Lease, (B) any
location that is prohibited or not permitted under:

          (i)  any Law or government regulation applicable to the Aircraft or to
               Lessee; or

          (ii) any requirement of a Government Entity of the Country of
               Registration; or

          (iii) any requirement of a Government entity of the country in which
               such location is situated.

Lessee will not be deemed in non-compliance with the obligations set forth in
the immediately preceding sentence to the extent such non-compliance occurs when
Lessee has been deprived of possession of the Aircraft by a breach of the
Covenant of Quiet Enjoyment under Section 20(f).

Lessee shall comply with the Law for the time being in force in any country or
jurisdiction to, from, in or over which the Aircraft is flown. Lessee shall use
the Aircraft solely in commercial operations for which Lessee is duly authorized
by applicable Law and shall not use or permit the Aircraft to be used for any
purpose for which the Aircraft is not designed or reasonably suitable. Lessee
shall not knowingly use the Aircraft for the carriage of: (A) whole animals
living or dead except pets and food products unless all of the rules and
regulations prescribed by the International Air Transport Association ("IATA")
as in effect from time to time for such carriage, to the extent the same exist
and are applicable to the particular form of carriage, are followed, (B) goods
characterized as dangerous goods by the regulations of IATA unless all of the
rules and regulations prescribed by IATA as in effect from time to time for such
carriage, to the extent the same exist and are applicable to the particular form
of carriage, are followed or (C) any other goods, materials or items of cargo
which could reasonably be expected to cause damage to the Aircraft and which
would not be adequately covered by the insurance required by or obtained
pursuant to the terms of this Lease. Lessee shall not at any time during the
Term do or permit to be done anything which may expose the Aircraft or any part
thereof to penalty, forfeiture, seizure, arrest, impounding, detention,
confiscation, taking in execution, attachment, appropriation or destruction nor
abandon the Aircraft or any part thereof and, if any such penalty, forfeiture,
seizure, arrest, impounding, detention, confiscation, taking in execution,
attachment or appropriation shall occur, Lessee shall give Lessor notice thereof
and shall endeavor to procure the immediate release therefrom of the Aircraft or
the relevant part thereof as the case may be.

     (d) Maintenance. Lessee, at its own cost and expense, shall: (i) perform
all mandatory service, inspections, repair, maintenance, overhaul and testing,
(A) as may be required under DAC rules and regulations applicable to the
Aircraft and in compliance with the Maintenance Program, (B) in the same manner
and with the same care as shall be the case with similar aircraft and engines
owned by or operated by Lessee without discrimination and (C) so as to keep the
Aircraft in as good operating condition as when delivered to Lessee, ordinary
wear and tear excepted; (ii) keep the Aircraft in such condition as is necessary
to enable the airworthiness certification of the Aircraft to be maintained in
good standing at all times under DAC regulations and any other applicable Law;
(iii) maintain, as accurate, complete, current, and in the English language, all
records, logs and other materials required by, and in a manner acceptable to,
the DAC and any other Governmental

                                       22

Entity having jurisdiction over the Aircraft and (iv) permit Lessor or any
authorized representative of Lessor to examine such records at any reasonable
time and upon prior written notice (as provided in Section 7).

     (e) Registration. During the Term Lessee shall at its expense keep the
Aircraft at all times registered under the applicable Laws of the Country of
Registration or such other country approved by Lessor in the name of Owner as
owner and Lessor as lessor of the Aircraft or, using its best efforts, in the
name of such Person as Lessor may reasonably designate, including, without
limitation any successor lessor under this Lease. During such time as the
Aircraft is registered in the Country of Registration, the certificate of
registration shall register the Aircraft in the name of Owner and include such
information concerning Owner and Lessor as permitted by applicable Law in the
Country of Registration.

     (f) Insignia. Upon delivery of the Aircraft, Lessee agrees to place the
Lease Identification as set forth in Exhibit C in the cockpit in a prominent
location and to place the Lease Identification on each Engine. Lessee agrees to
make such changes to the Lease Identification as Lessor may reasonably request
from time to time.

     Section 7. Information.

     From and after the Delivery Date, Lessee agrees to furnish Lessor the
following:

     (a) within sixty (60) days following the end of each quarter of Lessee's
fiscal year, except the last such quarter of such year, an unaudited
consolidated balance sheet of Lessee prepared as of the close of each quarterly
period, together with the related unaudited profit and loss statement for such
period, together with a certificate of the chief financial officer of Lessee
stating that such reports fairly present the financial position of Lessee in
accordance with Panamanian generally accepted accounting principles;

     (b) within one hundred twenty (120) days after the close of each fiscal
year of Lessee, balance sheet, profit and loss statement, and statement of
stockholders' equity of Lessee (prepared on a consolidated basis), as of the
close of such fiscal year and audited by an Approved Auditor;

     (c) within one hundred twenty (120) days after the close of each fiscal
year of Lessee, a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer of Lessee,
stating (i) that such officer is familiar with the relevant terms of this Lease
and has made a review of Lessee's compliance herewith during the preceding
fiscal year, and (ii) that no event has occurred and is continuing which
constitutes a Default, or, if such an event has occurred, the nature thereof and
action Lessee has taken or is taking to cure the same;

     (d) within ten (10) days following each six (6) month anniversary of the
Delivery Date, Lessee shall provide Lessor with a report with respect to the
Aircraft specifying: (i) total hours and total cycles of the Airframe and the
Engines; (ii) any scheduled maintenance above a "C" Check performed in the prior
six (6) month period; (iii) any significant modifications performed to the
Aircraft; (iv) any damage to or destruction of the Aircraft, an Engine or Part,
the potential cost of which exceeds the Damage Notification Threshold; and (v)
the status of the accomplishment of airworthiness directives and manufacturer's
service bulletins, including method of compliance (e.g.,

                                       23

<PAGE>

terminating action or surveillance);

     (e) notice in writing of (A) any proceeding by or against Lessee the
adverse determination of which would materially adversely affect Lessee's
ability to perform under this Lease and (B) any other matter which materially
adversely affects the Lessee's ability to perform under this Lease; and

     (f) from time to time such other information as Lessor may reasonably
request, including the location, condition, use and operation of the Aircraft.

     Lessee shall permit Lessor or its designee on three (3) days' prior written
notice to visit and inspect the Aircraft, its condition, use and operation and
the records maintained in connection therewith. In conducting any such visit or
inspection as contemplated herein, Lessor shall not interfere with Lessee's
operation or require Lessee to open panels of the Aircraft which are not open
under an inspection then being conducted by Lessee. Lessor shall have no duty to
make any such inspection and shall not incur any liability or obligation by
reason of not making any such inspection. Lessor's failure to object to any
condition or procedure observed or observable in the course of an inspection
hereunder shall not be deemed to waive or modify any of the terms of this Lease
with respect to such condition or procedure.

     Section 8. Covenants of Lessee.

     Lessee covenants and agrees that:

     (a) Maintenance of Corporate Existence. Except as provided in Section 8(d)
below, until the Return Occasion, Lessee will preserve and maintain its
corporate existence and such of its rights, privileges, licenses and franchises
in any jurisdiction where failure to obtain such licensing or qualification
would have a material adverse effect upon Lessee.

     (b) Maintenance of Status. Lessee is, and shall remain so long as it shall
be Lessee under this Lease, duly qualified to operate the Aircraft under
applicable Law.

     (c) Payment of Taxes. Lessee will pay or cause to be paid all Taxes and
governmental charges or levies imposed upon it, or upon its income or profits,
or upon any property belonging to it, prior to the date on which penalties
attach thereto and prior to the date on which any lawful claim, if not paid,
would become a Lien upon any of the material property of Lessee, except to the
extent the same are being contested by Lessee in good faith by appropriate
proceedings..

     (d) Consolidation, Merger, Etc. Without the prior written consent of Lessor
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), Lessee shall not consolidate
with or merge into any other corporation or convey, transfer or lease
substantially all of its assets as an entirety to any other Person.

     (e) Place of Business. Without prior written notice to Lessor, Lessee shall
not change its principal place of business.

     (f) Notice of Default. Within seven (7) Business Days after any responsible
officer of Lessee obtains knowledge of a Default hereunder, Lessee shall notify
Lessor in writing of such

                                       24

<PAGE>

Default.

     (g) Governmental Consents. Lessee undertakes to maintain in full force and
effect all governmental consents, licenses, authorizations, approvals,
declarations, filings and registrations obtained or effected in connection with
this Lease and every document or instrument contemplated hereby (including
without limitation foreign exchange and transfer permits regarding Dollar
amounts due hereunder and thereunder) and to take all such additional action as
may be proper or advisable in connection herewith or therewith. Lessee further
undertakes to obtain or effect any new or additional governmental consents,
licenses, authorizations, approvals, declarations, filings or registrations as
may become necessary for the performance of any of the terms and conditions of
this Lease or any other document or instrument contemplated hereby.

     (h) Registration, Certification and Filing. Lessee undertakes to register
the Aircraft with the DAC, to secure a valid and effective provisional
certificate of airworthiness for operation in the Country of Registration within
seven (7) days of the Delivery Date and to provide to the Lessor a copy of the
provisional certificate(s) of registration issued by the DAC relating to the
Aircraft, reflecting the Owner as the owner and Lessor as lessor of the Aircraft
to the extent permitted by applicable Law in the Country of Registration, and a
copy of the certificate of airworthiness issued by the DAC relating to the
Aircraft, each certified by a duly authorized officer of Lessee and in a form
satisfactory to the Lessor so as to enable counsel to the Lessee to provide an
opinion that (A) the Aircraft has been duly registered with the DAC and that the
Head Lease, the Lease, the Lease Supplement, and any other documents evidencing
title necessary or advisable to be filed have been duly filed for recordation
with the relevant Governmental Entities, (B) or such other action with respect
to, this Lease as may be required to make a public record of the respective
interests of Lessor and Lessee in the Aircraft and (C) such other matters as
Lessor may reasonably request and substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2
hereto. Lessee shall obtain the definitive certificate of airworthiness in
replacement of the provisional certificate as soon as possible after the
Delivery Date and shall promptly provide to Lessor a copy thereof, certified by
a duly authorized officer of Lessee. Lessee shall timely renew the provisional
certificate(s) of registration as required by the DAC during the Term hereof.

     (i) Suspension, Cessation, Etc. Lessee shall not at any time during the
Term (i) voluntarily suspend its certificated operations; or (ii) voluntarily or
involuntarily permit to be revoked, canceled or otherwise terminated all or
substantially all of the franchises, concessions, permits, rights or privileges
required for the conduct of business and operations of Lessee or the free and
continued use and exercise thereof.

     (j) No Operation until Registration and Certification. Lessee shall not at
any time operate the Aircraft until it has received a provisional certificate of
registration for the Aircraft and a provisional certificate of airworthiness for
the Aircraft and has provided certified copies of each thereof to the Lessor.

     Section 9. Replacement of Parts; Alterations, Modifications and Additions.

     (a) Replacement of Parts Lessee, at its own cost and expense, shall
promptly replace all Parts which, from time to time, may become worn out, lost,
stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or permanently
rendered unfit for use for any reason whatsoever. In addition, in the ordinary
course of maintenance, service, repair, overhaul or testing during the Term,
Lessee may at its own cost and expense cause to be removed any Parts, whether or
not worn out, destroyed, damaged beyond repair or permanently rendered unfit for
use, provided that Lessee shall replace at its own cost and expense such Parts
as promptly as practicable. All replacement Parts shall be free and clear of all
Liens, other than Liens permitted by Section 14 hereof, shall be in at least the
same modification status and service bulletin accomplishment status, shall be
fully interchangeable as to form, fit and function, shall have been overhauled,
repaired and inspected by an agency acceptable to the DAC and shall be in as
good an operating condition as, and have a utility at least equal to and a value
and remaining warranty reasonably approximating, the Parts replaced (assuming
such replaced parts were in the condition and repair in which they were required
to be maintained by the terms hereof). All historical records relating to such
Parts shall be maintained by Lessee. Notwithstanding the foregoing provision,
the right of Lessee to utilize an agency acceptable to the DAC shall not be
construed as modifying Lessee's obligations under Section 16 and Exhibit E with
respect to return of the Aircraft in accordance with the standards and
requirements of the DAC as therein provided.

     All Parts owned by Owner or Lessor which are at any time removed from the
Aircraft shall remain the property of Owner or Lessor, as the case may be, and
subject to this Lease, no matter where located, until such time as such Parts
shall be replaced by Parts which have been incorporated or installed in or
attached to the Aircraft and which meet the requirements for replacement Parts
specified above. Immediately upon any replacement Part becoming incorporated or
installed in or attached to the Aircraft as above provided, (i) title to the
removed part shall thereupon vest in Lessee, free and clear of all rights of
Owner and Lessor and of Lessor's Liens, (ii) title to such replacement part
shall thereupon vest solely in Owner and (iii) such replacement part shall
become subject to this Lease and be deemed a Part for all purposes hereof to the
same extent as the Part which it has replaced.

     (b) Alterations, Modifications and Additions. Lessee, at its own expense,
shall make such alterations and modifications and additions to the Aircraft as
may be required from time to time to meet the applicable standards of the DAC or
to comply with any Law, rule, directive, mandatory bulletin, regulation or order
of any Governmental Entity having jurisdiction over the Aircraft or of the
manufacturer of the Aircraft, Engines or Parts. Lessee's records shall document
the method and date of compliance with FAA requirements to the extent required
for certification by the FAA under Part 129 (with no material variance,
extension, carry-overs or deferrals). In addition, Lessee, at its own expense,
may from time to time make alterations and modifications in and additions to the
Aircraft, provided no such alteration, modification or addition materially
diminishes the remaining warranty, value or utility, or impairs the condition or
airworthiness, of the Aircraft. Title to all Parts (other than leased Parts)
incorporated or installed in or attached or added to the Aircraft as the result
of such alteration, modification or addition shall vest immediately in Lessor
and become subject to this Lease, without the necessity for any further act of
transfer, document or notice. In no event shall Lessor bear any liability or
cost for any alteration, modification or addition to, or for any grounding or
suspension of certification of, the

                                       26

<PAGE>

Aircraft, or for any loss of revenue arising therefrom. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall be continuing, Lessee
may remove any Part; provided that (i) such Part is in addition to, and not in
replacement of or substitution for, any Part originally incorporated or
installed in or attached to the Aircraft or any Engine at the time of delivery
thereof hereunder or any Part in replacement of, or substitution for any such
Part, (ii) such Part is not required to be incorporated or installed in or
attached or added to the Aircraft or such Engine pursuant to the terms of this
Lease, and (iii) such Part can be removed from the Aircraft or such Engine
without impairing or materially diminishing the value, utility, condition or
airworthiness required to be maintained by the terms of this Lease that the
Aircraft or such Engine would have had at such time had such Parts not been
installed and such removal not occurred. Upon the removal by Lessee of any Part
as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, title thereto shall, without
further act, vest in Lessee and such Part shall no longer be deemed part of the
Aircraft or such Engine from which it was removed. Lessee shall make no material
alterations, modifications or additions to the Aircraft (such as removal of
galleys, lavatories, major avionics equipment or the like) that would adversely
affect the marketability of the Aircraft without Lessor's prior written consent.
If Lessor grants such consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, title
to such removed Parts shall remain with Owner and Lessor may request Lessee to
reinstall such Parts prior to termination of this Lease, provided Lessor shall
be responsible for the reasonable costs to store such Parts pending such
re-installation. If Lessor requests Lessee to reinstall such Parts, title to the
Parts removed shall vest in Lessee. All costs associated with such removal and
reinstallation shall be borne by Lessee. In addition to the foregoing, Lessee
will not make any alterations, modifications or additions to the Aircraft or any
Part that may adversely affect its ability to comply with Year 2000 Compliance
(as defined in Section 5(a) hereof) in relation to the Aircraft or any Part.

Section 10. Tax Indemnity.

     (a) General Tax Indemnity Lessee agrees for the benefit of each Indemnitee
that all payments by Lessee in connection with the transactions contemplated by
this Lease shall be free of all withholdings or deductions of any nature
whatsoever (including, without limitation, withholding taxes, monetary transfer
fees, or similar taxes and charges), and in the event any withholding or
deduction is required (other than a withholding or deduction in respect of Taxes
for which Lessee is not responsible to indemnify any Indemnitee pursuant to
Section 10(b) hereof), Lessee shall pay the same together with such additional
amount as is required so that each such payment shall be, under any
circumstances and in any event, after any such withholding or deduction, in the
amount as set forth or referred to in this Lease. Lessee agrees for the benefit
of each Indemnitee to pay and, on written demand, to indemnify and hold each
Indemnitee (which term as used in this Section 10 shall include each Indemnitee,
their respective affiliates, agents, employees, directors, successors and
assigns, and any transferee of an Indemnitee with respect to any interest in the
Aircraft) harmless from, all license and registration fees, duties, imposts,
deductions, charges and, without limitation, all Taxes, howsoever levied or
imposed, whether levied or imposed upon or asserted against any Indemnitee,
Lessee, the Lease, the Aircraft, or any part thereof or interest therein, or
otherwise by any Federal, state or local government, or instrumentality thereof,
or other taxing authority in the United States of America ("U.S. Taxing
Authority") or by any government other than that of the United States of America
or any taxing authority or governmental subdivision or instrumentality of any
other country or of a territory or possession of the United States of America or
by any international taxing authority ("Foreign Taxing Authority"), upon or with
respect to, based upon or measured by:

          (i) the Aircraft, or any part thereof, or interest therein,

          (ii) the exportation, importation, ownership, delivery, non-delivery,
warehousing, removal, leasing, exchange, acceptance, assigning, possession,
repossession, condition, recording, use, operation, settlement of any insurance
claim, sale, subleasing, rental, retirement, imposition of any Lien,
abandonment, registration, preparation, installation, modification, repair,
maintenance, replacement, transportation, storage, transfer of title, return or
other disposition of the Aircraft or any part thereof or interest therein,

          (iii) the rentals, receipts or earnings arising from any one or more
of the items or acts described in clause (i) or (ii) above (including, without
limitation, the Rent),

          (iv) upon or with respect to this Lease, or

          (v) otherwise with respect to or in connection with the transactions
contemplated and permitted by the Lease; and any documented out-of-pocket costs
and expenses fairly attributable to any of the foregoing incurred by any
Indemnitee.

     (b) Exclusions. Except as provided in subsections (c), (d) and (e) below,
there shall be excluded from the indemnity provided in Section 10(a) the
following:

          (i) Taxes upon or with respect to the gross or net income, capital
gains or

                                       28

<PAGE>

capital or net worth of any Indemnitee (including, without limitation, any such
Taxes which are minimum or alternative minimum Taxes, Taxes on or measured by
items of tax preference and franchise Taxes levied in lieu of income taxes, but
excluding, without limitation, any Taxes in the nature of sales, rental, use,
value-added, license, withholding or property taxes) ("Income Taxes") which are
imposed by any U.S. Taxing Authority;

          (ii) Income Taxes imposed by any Foreign Taxing Authority, but
excluding any such Income Taxes imposed by a Foreign Taxing Authority to the
extent that such Income Taxes result from the location or use of the Aircraft or
any part thereof in such taxing jurisdiction or other activities of Lessee or
any Person that obtains from Lessee possession or control or the right to use
the Aircraft or any part thereof (an "Aircraft User");

          (iii) Taxes imposed as a result of any Lessor Lien or (A) a voluntary
sale, transfer of title, mortgaging, pledging, financing, voluntary transfer or
other voluntary disposition by an Indemnitee of the Aircraft or part thereof or
interest therein, or any interest in the Rent or part thereof or any interest in
this Lease or part thereof, unless such sale, transfer, mortgage, pledge or
disposition occurs by reason of the exercise of an Indemnitee's remedies under
this Lease upon an Event of Default, or (B) any involuntary transfer or
disposition of any of the foregoing interests in connection with any bankruptcy,
foreclosure or similar proceeding with respect to any Indemnitee unless such
transfer or disposition occurs by reason of an Event of Default;

          (iv) Taxes for any taxable period or portion thereof, relating to
events occurring prior to the Delivery Date or after the expiration of the Term
of the Lease (and any renewal term) and the redelivery of the Aircraft in
accordance with the Lease, except to the extent that any such Taxes are imposed
in connection with remedies exercised by Lessor following an Event of Default;

          (v) Taxes imposed by any Governmental Entity or international taxing
authority in any jurisdiction which would not have been imposed but for some
connection of any Indemnitee with such jurisdiction other than a connection
arising by reason of, relating to or attributable to Lessee, any Aircraft User,
this Lease, any sublease, the operation by Lessee, any sublessee or any Aircraft
User of the Aircraft, the location of the Aircraft or arising pursuant to the
transactions contemplated hereby in such jurisdiction, except that the exclusion
contained in this clause (vi) shall not apply to the extent that such Taxes are
imposed in connection with Lessor's exercise of remedies following an Event of
Default;

          (vi) Taxes imposed on or with respect to a successor or assignee of an
Indemnitee to the extent such Taxes exceed the amount of Taxes that would have
been imposed on or with respect to such Indemnitee had such succession or
assignment not occurred, provided, however, that the exclusion contained in this
clause (vi) shall not apply to any successor or assignee if such succession or
assignment shall have occurred at any time in connection with Lessor's exercise
of remedies after the occurrence of an Event of Default;

          (vii) Taxes and any fines, penalties, or additions thereto to the
extent the same would not have been incurred but for the failure of Lessor,
Owner, GECAS or any other Person other than Lessee to make any filing or
election required by it to be made, provided that this exclusion shall not apply
if the failure to file or make the election results from the failure of the
Lessee to notify the Lessor, Owner, or GECAS of such requirement (unless the
Lessor, Owner, or GECAS is otherwise aware of such requirement).

                                       29

<PAGE>

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Income Taxes resulting directly or indirectly
(whether by inclusion of an item in gross income, disallowance of a deduction or
credit, or otherwise) from any payment on or after the Delivery Date by any
supplier in satisfaction of a claim against such supplier with respect to the
Aircraft or any part thereof and inclusions in income in any taxable year of any
amounts relating to improvements, alterations, modifications, or additions by or
on behalf of Lessee of the Aircraft, any Engine or any part thereof (other than
improvements, alterations, modifications or additions required by this Lease) or
any substitution or replacement of any engine, or any part thereof, shall not be
excluded from the indemnity provided in Section 10(a).

     (c) FSC Indemnity. Owner has assumed that United States income tax
benefits, as provided in sections 921 et seq of the United States Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") (i.e. that United States income
taxation of the net income or gain from the sale or lease of the Aircraft will
be limited in each calendar year to taxation on only seventy per cent (70%) of
such net income or gain (the "FSC Benefits")) will be available to Owner and the
other Indemnitees. Accordingly, in order to support Owner entitlement to the FSC
Benefits, Lessee covenants that:

          (i) in each calendar year during the Term, the Aircraft will be
located outside the United States (used in this Section 10(c)to include the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico) more than fifty per cent (50%) of the time or more
than fifty per cent (50%) of the miles traversed in the use of the Aircraft will
be traversed outside the United States (regarding for this purpose any flight
between two points in the United States without an intervening stop in a foreign
jurisdiction of at least 12 hours as being entirely within the United States);

          (ii) except as required by applicable Law (including compliance with
any AD) and except for the Modifications as defined in Letter Agreement No. 1 to
which Lessor expressly consents, it will not (A) undertake any alterations,
modifications or additions to the Aircraft or any Part without the prior written
consent of Lessor (x) involving a modification, re-manufacturing or alteration
of the Aircraft, which modification, re-manufacturing or alteration is of a
permanent nature or (y) which could not be removed from the Aircraft without
material damage to the Aircraft or (z) which together with prior related and
future related expected alterations, modifications or additions would involve a
cost (including labor, overhead, engineering, supplies, materials and
third-party costs) in excess of **Material Redacted**, or (B) undertake any
replacement of any Engine that involves Owner's relinquishment of title thereto
and does not arise from a Casualty Occurrence; and

          (iii) after delivery of the Aircraft to Lessee pursuant to this
Agreement, the first flight of the Aircraft shall occur as soon as practicable
but in any event within 24 hours of the Delivery Date save for any reasonable
delays beyond 24 hours due to (i) adverse weather conditions or (ii) Lessee crew
staffing restrictions, or (iii) any other cause which is beyond the reasonable
control of Lessee, provided in all cases that Lessee shall work diligently to
promptly remedy any such delay to the first flight. The first flight shall be a
non-revenue producing flight from the Delivery Location to a location outside
the United States. After arrival at such location outside the United States, the
Aircraft will not begin any return flight to the United States prior to the
expiration of 12 hours after its arrival at such location outside the United
States. In addition, between the time of delivery to Lessee and such first
flight, Lessee shall make no use of the

                                       30

<PAGE>

Aircraft except for such fuelling, loading and provisioning required in
connection with such first flight.

     Lessor acknowledges that the covenants contained in Section 10(c)(i), (ii)
and (iii) are given by Lessee solely for the purpose of the indemnification
requirements in Section 10 (d) and shall not prevent or restrict Lessee from
taking any action otherwise permitted under this Agreement. Lessee will make
available to Lessor any records relating to the use and location of the Aircraft
that Lessor may reasonably request, in order to fulfill Lessor's or any
Indemnitee's tax reporting, filing, audit or litigation requirements, and will
otherwise reasonably cooperate with any reasonable requests of Lessor with
respect to compliance with requirements for the FSC Benefits; provided, that any
such cooperation shall not result in costs in excess of those which Lessee would
have incurred in the absence of such cooperation nor result in any additional
obligation of Lessee nor adversely affect Lessee's rights hereunder. Except as
expressly set forth in Section 10(c) (i), (ii) and (iii), there are no other
events intended to be covered by the indemnification set forth in Section 10
(d).

     (d) FSC Benefits

          (i) Lessor's remedy for the breach of any of the covenants contained
in Section 10(c)(i), (ii) and (iii), if such breach shall directly result in a
loss of FSC Benefits, shall be the right to receive the indemnity payments
specified in this Section 10 (d) from Lessee. Any such indemnity payments will
be due within 30 days after Lessee's receipt of a written request from Lessor
certifying that there has been a loss of FSC Benefits describing in reasonable
detail the circumstances of such loss and that such loss is a direct result of
the breach by Lessee of a covenant contained in Section 10 (c) hereof.

          (ii) Owner, GECAS and Lessor acknowledge and agree that Lessee's
indemnity obligation for an Indemnitee's entitlement to the FSC Benefits shall
be limited in amount with respect to any calendar year, subject to Section
10(e), to the lesser of (x) the amount of FSC Benefits lost or disallowed for
such calendar year which are a direct result of a breach of the covenants set
forth in Section 10(c)(i), (ii) or (iii) and (y) the amount set forth as the FSC
Indemnity Maximum Amounts in Exhibit C plus in either case the amount of any
interest, penalties and additions to tax payable by Owner or the relevant
Indemnitee as a result of the loss or disallowance of the FSC Benefits, but not
including any interest, penalties or additions to tax resulting solely from acts
or omissions of Lessor, Owner, GECAS, or any Person other than Lessee. For the
avoidance of doubt, if the FSC Benefits are lost or disallowed for any calendar
year, the maximum amount which Lessee shall pay to Lessor with respect to such
calendar year, subject to Section 10(e), is the amount for such calendar year as
set forth as the FSC Indemnity Maximum Amounts in Exhibit C plus the amount of
any interest, penalties, and additions to tax payable by Owner or the relevant
Indemnitee as a direct result of such loss or disallowance (but not as a result
solely of acts or omissions of Lessor, Owner, GECAS, or any Person other than
Lessee) and if such FSC Benefits are determined to be lost or disallowed with
respect to a subsequent sale of the Aircraft after any termination of the Lease
(irrespective of whether the Term of the Lease is extended pursuant to Section
3(g)) as a direct result of Lessee's breach of its covenants set forth in
Section 10(c)(ii) or (iii), Lessee's indemnity payment shall be limited to the
lesser of the actual amount of FSC Benefits lost or disallowed which arise
directly as a result of any such breach and the amount set forth as the FSC
Indemnity Maximum Amounts in Exhibit C

                                       31

<PAGE>

with respect to the Residual Period (as enumerated in Exhibit C), plus the
amounts set forth as the FSC Indemnity Maximum Amounts in Exhibit C for any
calendar years which have not elapsed at the time the Lease is terminated, plus
any interest, penalties and additions to tax but not including any penalties or
additions resulting principally from any act or omission of Lessor, Owner, GECAS
or any other Person other than Lessee that is not in turn attributable to an act
or omission of Lessee. For avoidance of doubt, the loss or disallowance of any
FSC Benefits resulting solely from any act or omission of Lessor, Owner, GECAS,
or any Person other an Lessee and not directly the result of a breach by Lessee
of the covenants set forth in Sections 10(c)(i),(ii) or (iii) or arising for any
reason other than a breach by Lessee of its covenants set forth in Section 10(c)
shall not be deemed to be included in the indemnities provided in this Section
10.

          (iii) If the Aircraft is leased after any termination of this
Agreement, Lessee's indemnity obligation, subject to Section 10(e), with respect
to a loss or disallowance of FSC Benefits as a result of Lessee's breach of its
covenants set forth in Section 10(c)(ii) or (iii) will be (in addition to any
applicable interest, penalties or additions to tax) the actual amount of FSC
Benefits lost or disallowed, as a direct result of such breach, for any calendar
year during any subsequent lease of the Aircraft for such calendar year.

     (e) After Tax Basis of Payments. Notwithstanding anything in this Section
10 to the contrary (including, without limitation, subparagraphs (i) and (ii) of
Section 10(b) above), Lessee further agrees that, with respect to any payment or
indemnity under this Section 10, such payment or indemnity shall include any
amount necessary to hold the recipient of the payment or indemnity harmless on
an after-tax basis from all Taxes required to be paid by such recipient with
respect to such payment or indemnity to any U.S. Taxing Authority or any Foreign
Taxing Authority, taking into account any reductions in such recipient's taxes
by reason of any deductions, credits, or other allowances in respect of the
payment or accrual of the amount indemnified against. Any subsequent reduction
in such recipient's deductions, credits, or other allowances in respect of the
payment or accrual of the amount indemnified against shall be treated as a Tax
that is indemnifiable under this Section without regard to the exclusions set
forth in Section 10(b) above.

     (f) Payments. The Lessee shall pay all Taxes for which it assumes liability
hereunder when such Taxes are due. If a claim is made against any Indemnitee for
any such Taxes, such Indemnitee shall promptly notify Lessee provided, however,
the failure to provide such notice shall not affect the Lessee's obligations
hereunder to any Indemnitee unless Lessee's rights to contest such Taxes are
materially prejudiced by such failure. Any amount payable as an indemnity to any
Indemnitee or any amount payable to Lessee pursuant to this Section 10 is to be
paid to such party directly, in immediately available funds, by bank wire
transfer at such bank or to such account as specified by the payee in written
directions to the payor, or, if such directions shall not have been given, by
check of the payor payable to the order of the payee and mailed to the payee by
certified mail, postage prepaid at its address as set forth in this Lease,
within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written demand therefor from such
Indemnitee or Lessee, as the case may be, but in no event more than ten (10)
days prior to the due date thereof. In the event Lessee fails to make any such
payment following a request by an Indemnitee and such Indemnitee makes a tax
payment with respect to any such Taxes (other than with funds advanced to such
Indemnitee on an interest-free basis by Lessee pursuant to this Section 10),
Lessee shall pay to the Indemnitee interest on the amount of such payment at the
Interest Rate set forth in Exhibit C from the date of such

                                       32

<PAGE>

Indemnitee's payment to the relevant taxing authority to the date of such
payment by Lessee to the Indemnitee hereunder. In the event an amount is payable
to Lessee under this Section 10, the Indemnitee owing such amount shall pay
interest on such amount at the Interest Rate set forth in Exhibit C from the
date of receipt by such Indemnitee of any amount giving rise to such obligation
to pay Lessee until the date of payment to Lessee.

     (g) Contests. If requested by Lessee in writing within forty-five (45) days
after its receipt of notice pursuant to this Section 10 of a claim against an
Indemnitee, upon receipt of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and at the
sole expense of Lessee (including, without limitation, all reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses, reasonable legal and accounting and
investigatory fees and disbursements, additions to tax because of underpayments
of estimated Taxes, losses, penalties, and interest) such Indemnitee shall in
good faith contest or permit Lessee, if desired by Lessee, to contest in the
name of Lessee and/or the Indemnitee the validity, applicability or amount of
such Taxes by, in the reasonable discretion of such Indemnitee (or, where the
Lessee is not permitted to conduct the contest in the name of the Indemnitee, in
the sole discretion of such Indemnitee), (i) resisting payment thereof if
practicable and legally permissible, (ii) not paying the same except under
protest with funds advanced by Lessee on an interest-free basis, if protest is
necessary and proper, and (iii) if payments are made, using reasonable efforts
to obtain a refund thereof in appropriate administrative and judicial
proceedings; provided, however, that Lessee shall not be permitted to contest in
the name of such Indemnitee if such contest involves Income Taxes imposed by a
U.S. Taxing Authority, Income Taxes imposed by a Foreign Taxing Authority, or
any Taxes imposed against such Indemnitee that are unrelated to the transactions
contemplated by the Lease, in which event such Indemnitee shall follow the
direction of Lessee with respect to the method of pursuing that portion of any
such contest that does not relate to Income Taxes unless with respect to issues
that do not relate to the settlement of any portion of the contest involving
Taxes for which indemnification is provided by this Section 10, such direction
would, in the judgment of such Indemnitee, adversely affect in a material manner
interests of such Indemnitee unrelated to the transactions hereby contemplated;
provided further, however, that in no event shall an Indemnitee settle such
portion of any claim for which Lessee has an indemnity obligation pursuant to
this Section 10 without Lessee's written consent; provided further, however,
that the Indemnitee shall not be required to undertake any contest or allow
Lessee to contest in the name of such Indemnitee unless:

          (A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,

          (B) prior to the commencement of any contest undertaken by the Lessee
or any contest undertaken by such Indemnitee with respect to which such
Indemnitee is required to follow the direction of the Lessee with respect to the
method of pursuing that portion of the contest that relates to the transactions
hereby contemplated, the Lessee shall have delivered to such Indemnitee a
written acknowledgment of its obligation to indemnify fully such Indemnitee to
the extent that the contest is not successful,

          (C) Lessee shall have provided such Indemnitee with an opinion of
legal counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnitee to the effect that a
reasonable basis exists to contest such claim and, prior to the commencement of
any appeal of an adverse administrative or judicial decision, with an opinion of
such tax counsel to the effect that a reasonable basis exists to appeal such
adverse administrative or judicial decision (which opinions shall be obtained at
Lessee's sole

                                       33

<PAGE>

cost and expense),

          (D) if such contest is to be initiated by the payment of, and the
claiming of a refund for, such Taxes, Lessee shall have advanced to such
Indemnitee sufficient funds (on an interest-free basis) to make such payments,
provided, however, that the Lessee shall indemnify such Indemnitee for any
adverse tax consequences resulting from such advance,

          (E) such proceedings do not involve any material risk or danger of the
sale, forfeiture, or loss of the Aircraft or any part thereof or the creation of
any Lien (other than a Lien for taxes not yet due or being contested in good
faith by appropriate proceedings, and for the payment of which such reserves, if
any, as are required to be provided under generally accepted accounting
principles have been provided), and

          (F) in the event that the subject matter of the contest is of a
continuing nature and has previously been resolved adversely pursuant to the
contest provisions of this Section 10 and there has been a change in the law
(including, without limitation, amendments to statutes or regulations,
administrative rulings and court decisions) after such claim shall have been so
previously resolved, such Indemnitee shall have received an opinion of
independent tax counsel selected by such Indemnitee and reasonably acceptable to
Lessee, which opinion shall be obtained at Lessee's sole expense, to the effect
that, as a result of such change, it is as likely as not that the position which
such Indemnitee or Lessee, as the case may be, had asserted in such previous
contest would prevail.

          If any Indemnitee shall obtain a refund of all or any part of such
Taxes (including interest, penalties, or additions thereto) paid by Lessee, such
Indemnitee shall pay Lessee, the amount of such refund reduced by the amount of
any Taxes payable by such Indemnitee in respect of the receipt of such refund
and increased by the amount of any savings realized by such Indemnitee in
respect to any such Taxes by reason of deductions, credits, allocations or
allowances in respect of such payment to Lessee; provided that such amount shall
not be payable (x) before such time as Lessee shall have made all payments or
indemnities then due to or on behalf of all Indemnitees under this Lease, (y)
while an Event of Default is outstanding and continues unremedied, or (z) to the
extent it exceeds the amount of all payments made by Lessee with respect to such
Taxes. If in addition to such refund any Indemnitee shall receive an amount
representing interest on the amount of such refund, Lessee shall be paid that
proportion of such interest which is fairly attributable to Taxes paid by Lessee
prior to the receipt of such refund; provided, however, that no amount shall be
payable under this or the preceding sentence during any period in which an Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing unremedied unless the Lease has
terminated and Lessee has paid all amounts due Lessor hereunder. If any such
refund or tax savings taken into account under this paragraph in Taxes is
subsequently disallowed or canceled, such disallowance or cancellation shall be
treated as a Tax that is indemnifiable under this Section 10 without regard to
the exclusions set forth in Section 10(b).

     (h) Reports. In case any report or return is required to be made with
respect to any Taxes which are an obligation of Lessee under this Section 10,
Lessee, if lawfully able to do so and appropriate and in receipt of notice from
Lessor in circumstances where Lessor, but not Lessee, could reasonably be
expected to have knowledge of such obligation, will either make such report or
return in such manner as will show the ownership of the Aircraft and the Engines
in Owner and

                                       34

<PAGE>

send a copy of such report or return to Lessor or will notify Lessor of such
requirement and if lawfully able to do so, will make such report or return in
such manner as shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lessor (and the Lessee shall
hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits and reasonable costs arising
out of any insufficiency or inaccuracy in any such return, statement, report or
information). As soon as practicable after the beginning of each calendar year
(but in no event later than February 28 of such year), Lessee shall provide
Lessor with any information that Lessor shall reasonably request in writing (by
January 31 of such year) and Lessee can reasonably compile to enable Lessor and
Owner to allocate accurately for foreign, state and local tax purposes its
rental income for the preceding calendar year.

     (i) Value Added Taxes. Each amount stated as payable by Lessee under this
Lease is exclusive of Value Added Taxes (if any) and is accordingly to be
construed as a reference to that amount plus any Value Added Taxes in respect of
it.

     (j) Affiliated Group. In the event that the Indemnitee is a member of an
Affiliated Group (within the meaning of Section 1504(a) of the U.S. Internal
Revenue Code) which files a consolidated Federal income tax return, the term
"Indemnitee" shall mean and include such Affiliated Group and all the members
thereof.

     (k) Survival. All of the obligations of Lessee and each Indemnitee under
this Section 10 with respect to the Aircraft and the Engines or any part thereof
shall survive the assignment, expiration or other termination of this Lease.
Such obligations are expressly undertaken by Lessee for the benefit of, and
shall be enforceable by, Lessor and each other Indemnitee. Lessee's obligations
under this Section 10 shall not be affected by any circumstances, including,
without limitation, any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right
which Lessee may have against Lessor or any other person for any reason
whatsoever. Lessee will pay to an Indemnitee, on demand, and an Indemnitee will
pay to Lessee, if applicable, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
interest at the Interest Rate set forth in Exhibit C hereto on any amount not
paid when due pursuant to this Section 10 until the same shall be paid. All
indemnities, obligations, adjustments and payments provided for in this Section
10 shall survive, and remain in full force and effect, notwithstanding the
expiration or other termination of this Lease. The obligations of Lessee in
respect of all such indemnities, obligations, adjustments and payments are
expressly made for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, an Indemnitee,
without declaring this Lease to be in default or taking other action thereunder,
and notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein.

     (l) Tax Treaty Elections. Lessor agrees to make, at Lessee's request, any
available election under an applicable tax treaty to the extent that making such
election would serve to reduce or eliminate any indemnification obligation of
the Lessee under this Section 10, but only to the extent that such election can
be made on a transaction-by-transaction basis and such election has no adverse
consequences to Lessor or any Indemnitee.

     (m) Verification. At Lessee's request, the computation by any Indemnitee of
any amount of Taxes or other amounts paid or payable by or to Lessee under this
Section 10 shall be verified by such Indemnitee's independent public
accountants. In the event the amount of Taxes or other amounts computed by such
independent public accountants differs from the amounts paid or

                                       35

<PAGE>

payable by or to Lessee, appropriate adjustments shall be made between Lessee
and such Indemnitee.

     Section 11. Casualty Occurrences.

     (a) Casualty Occurrence with Respect to the Airframe. Within fifteen (15)
days after a Casualty Occurrence during the Term with respect to the Airframe
and any Engine then installed thereon, Lessee shall give Lessor written notice
of such occurrence. On or before one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of
the Casualty Occurrence, but in no event later than the date of receipt of
insurance proceeds in respect of such Casualty Occurrence, Lessee shall pay to
Lessor in immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of (i) the
Casualty Value of the Aircraft computed as of the date of payment less an amount
equal to the daily equivalent of Basic Rent (computed on the basis of a 360-day
year) for each day during the period commencing with the day after payment of
such Casualty Value and extending to, but excluding, the Basic Rent Payment Date
immediately following payment of such Casualty Value, and (ii) all Supplemental
Rent accrued or due and unpaid (other than Maintenance Payments which would have
been payable by Lessee pursuant to Section 16(m) and amounts paid pursuant to
clause (i) above), computed as of the date of payment less any Security Deposit
then held by Lessor. Upon such payment (A) the obligation of Lessee to make
further payments of Basic Rent hereunder shall terminate, (B) this Lease shall
terminate with respect to the Aircraft and (C) Lessor will cause Owner to
transfer to Lessee or its insurers (as directed by Lessee), without recourse or
warranty, all of Owner's right, title and interest, if any, in and to the
Airframe and Engines (if any) suffering the Casualty Occurrence, as well as all
of Owner's right, title and interest in and to any Engine constituting part of
the Aircraft but not installed thereon at the time of the Casualty Occurrence in
each case free of any Lessor's Liens.

     (b) Casualty Occurrence with Respect to an Engine. Upon a Casualty
Occurrence with respect to an Engine only, Lessee shall give Lessor prompt
written notice thereof and shall, within ninety (90) days after such occurrence,
convey to Owner, as replacement for the Engine suffering a Casualty Occurrence,
title to a Replacement Engine. Each Replacement Engine shall be free of all
Liens (except those Liens which are permitted by Section 14 hereof) and shall be
in as good an operating condition and shall have a value and utility at least
equal to, and shall have a substantially equivalent number of cycles remaining
on its life limited parts as the Engine being replaced, assuming the Engine
being replaced was in the condition and repair required by the terms hereof
immediately prior to the Casualty Occurrence and shall be compatible with the
remaining installed Engine. Upon full compliance by Lessee with the terms of
this paragraph, Lessor will cause the Owner to transfer to Lessee all of Owner's
right, title and interest in and to the Engine which suffered the Casualty
Occurrence free of any Lessor's Liens. Prior to or at the time of any such
conveyance, Lessee, at its own expense, will promptly (i) furnish Lessor with a
full warranty bill of sale conveying title free and clear of all Liens except
Lessor Liens, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, with
respect to such Replacement Engine; (ii) cause a supplement hereto, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, subjecting such Replacement Engine
to this Lease, to be duly executed by Lessee, and recorded pursuant to
applicable Law; (iii) furnish Lessor with such evidence of title to such
Replacement Engine and of compliance with the insurance provisions of Section 12
hereof with respect to such Replacement Engine as Lessor may reasonably request;
(iv) furnish Lessor with an opinion of Lessee's counsel (which counsel shall be

                                       36

<PAGE>

reasonably acceptable to Lessor) to the effect that title to such Replacement
Engine has been duly conveyed to Owner as provided in clause (i) above, and that
such Replacement Engine is duly leased hereunder; (v) furnish a certificate
signed by a duly authorized financial officer or executive of Lessee certifying
that, upon consummation of such replacement, no Default or Event of Default will
exist hereunder; (vi) furnish Lessor with such documents as Lessor may
reasonably request in connection with the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Section 11(b), in each case in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Lessor; and (vii) furnish such financing statement
covering the Replacement Engine as may be reasonably requested by Lessor. Upon
full compliance by Lessee with the terms of this Section 11(b), Lessor will
cause Owner to transfer by bill of sale to Lessee "AS IS AND WHERE IS" and
without recourse or warranty (except as to the absence of Lessor's Liens) all of
the right, title and interest in the Engine which suffered the Casualty
Occurrence and which was originally leased to Lessee. For all purposes hereof,
each such Replacement Engine shall be deemed part of the property leased
hereunder, shall be deemed an "Engine" as defined herein and shall be deemed
part of the same Aircraft as was the Engine replaced thereof. No Casualty
Occurrence covered by this Section 11(b) shall result in any reduction in Rent.

     (c) Application of Proceeds and Payments. Any payments received at any time
by Lessor or by Lessee from any insurer under any policy of insurance (other
than liability insurance) or any other person (other than an insurer under
insurance maintained by Lessor) shall be applied in the manner specified in
Sections 12(d), 12(e) or 12(f) hereof as applicable. Subject to Section 11(f)
hereof, any payments received at any time by Lessor or Lessee from any
Governmental Entity or other Person with respect to a Casualty Occurrence will
be applied as follows:

          (i) unless clause (ii) below is applicable, so much of such payments
as shall not exceed the sum of accrued, unpaid Rent plus the Casualty Value
required to be paid by Lessee pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Lease shall be
paid to Lessor in reduction of Lessee's obligation to pay such unpaid Rent and
Casualty Value if not already paid by Lessee, or, if already paid by Lessee
(unless a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing)
shall be applied by Lessor to reimburse Lessee for its payment of such Casualty
Value and the balance of such payment, if any, remaining thereafter (if such
payment is received with respect to insurance other than liability insurance)
(unless a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing)
shall be paid over to, or retained by, Lessee; or

          (ii) if such payments are received as a result of a Casualty
Occurrence with respect to an Engine which is being replaced pursuant to Section
11(b), unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, all such payments shall be paid over to, or retained by, Lessee if
Lessee shall have fully performed or, concurrently therewith will fully perform,
the terms of Section 11(b) and of Section 15 hereof with respect to the Casualty
Occurrence for which such payments are made.

     (d) Requisition for Use by Government with Respect to the Aircraft.. In the
event of the requisition for use by a Governmental Entity of the Airframe or any
Engine (other than a requisition constituting a Casualty Occurrence), all
Lessee's obligations under this Lease with respect to the Airframe or Engine
shall continue to the same extent as if such requisition had not occurred,
except to the extent such obligations cannot be performed by Lessee as a
consequence of such requisition. All payments received by Lessor or Lessee from
the Governmental Entity for the

                                       37

<PAGE>

use of the Airframe or Engine prior to the time (if at all) such requisition
becomes a Casualty Occurrence shall be paid over to, or retained by, Lessee if
no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and all
payments received by Lessor or Lessee from the Governmental Entity for the use
of such item thereafter shall be paid over to, or retained by, Lessor.

     (e) Other Dispositions. Any amounts not payable to or retainable by Lessee
pursuant to this Section 11 or Section 12 hereof because a Default or an Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing shall be held by Lessor and
shall be paid over to Lessee when such Default or Event of Default shall cease
to be continuing, except that if Lessor shall have theretofore declared this
Lease to be in default pursuant to Section 18 hereof, such amounts shall be
retained by Lessor and disposed of in accordance with the provisions thereof.

     (f) Application in Default. Any amount referred to in clause (i) or (ii) of
Section 11(c) which is otherwise payable to Lessee shall not be paid to Lessee,
or, if it has been previously paid to Lessee, and not yet applied by Lessee as
permitted or required hereunder, shall be delivered from Lessee to Lessor, if at
the time of such payment a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing. In such case, all such amounts shall be paid to and held by
Lessor as security for the obligations of Lessee, or, at the option of Lessor,
applied by Lessor toward payment of any of Lessee's obligations at the time due
hereunder, as Lessor may elect. At such time as there shall not be continuing
any such Event of Default or Default, all such amounts at the time held by
Lessor in excess of the amount, if any, which Lessor has elected for application
as provided above, shall be paid to Lessee.

     (g) ICAO Rules and Procedures. It is agreed that any investigation of an
accident involving the Aircraft or a Casualty Occurrence will be carried out
with the participation of Lessor and Lessee in accordance with the Rules and
Procedures of the International Civil Aviation Organization ("ICAO") from time
to time in effect. All necessary information required by ICAO, to the extent
reasonably available to the Lessor, shall be promptly furnished by the Lessor.

     Section 12. Insurance.

     (a) Public Liability and Property Damage Insurance. Lessee shall carry and
maintain in full force and effect, at its own expense, with Approved Insurers,
airline public liability insurance (including, to the extent generally available
in the insurance markets but not limited to, contractual liability, third party
legal liability, passenger, baggage, cargo, mail and airline general liability,
including premises hangar keepers and products liability) and property damage
insurance with respect to the Aircraft of the type usual and customary by
commercial scheduled passenger airline carriers similarly situated to Lessee and
operating similar aircraft. Such policy shall include war and allied risks in
accordance with standard market practice (currently "The Extended Coverage
Endorsement - AVN 52C"). Such insurance shall be in an amount not less than the
amount under "Public Liability and Property Damage Insurance" as set forth on
Exhibit C hereto. Lessee shall not discriminate against the Aircraft in
providing such insurance.

     (b) Insurance Against Loss or Damage. Lessee, at its own expense, shall
maintain in full force and effect throughout the Term with Approved Insurers
during the Term "all-risk" ground and flight aircraft hull insurance (which
shall include, but not be limited to, vandalism, war risk and allied perils,
hijacking, disappearance clause and coverage against strikes, riots, commotions
or

                                       38

<PAGE>

labor disturbances, malicious acts or acts of sabotage and unlawful seizure
(including confiscation, confiscation by the Country of Registration, arrest,
nationalization, seizure, restraint, detention, appropriation, requisition or
destruction thereat, by or under authority of any Governmental Entity), or
wrongful exercise of control of the Aircraft in flight by a person on board the
Aircraft acting without the consent of Lessee) covering the Aircraft, and
"all-risk" coverage insurance with respect to Engines and Parts while not
installed on the Aircraft or an aircraft, which in each case is at least as
broad as coverage maintained by commericial scheduled passenger airlines
similarly situated to Lessee and operating similar aircraft and engines as
Lessee's fleet. Such insurance shall be for an amount not less than the Casualty
Value for the Aircraft and shall incorporate a 50/50 clause with respect to
"all-risk" hull and war risk coverage and shall be as further specified in
Exhibit C. Such insurance may include provisions for deductibles in an amount
usual and customary for commercial scheduled airline carriers similarly situated
and operating similar aircraft provided that (i) the amount of such deductibles
must be no greater than the lowest deductible amount applying to any similar
aircraft in Lessor's fleet, and (ii) in no event shall the amount of such
deductibles exceed the amount under "Deductible Amount" set forth on Exhibit C
hereto.

     (c) Required Policy Designations and Provisions. Each and any policy of
insurance obtained and maintained pursuant to this Section, and each and any
policy obtained in substitution or replacement for any such policies, shall: (i)
designate Owner as owner and Lessor as lessor of the aircraft covered thereby
and designate Owner the sole loss payee in respect of the insurance covering the
Aircraft required to be maintained by Lessee pursuant to Section 12(b), and
shall designate Lessor, GECAS, and Owner and their respective named successors
and assigns (and in respect of coverage specified in Section 12(a) hereof, their
respective directors, officers, agents, shareholders, subsidiaries and
employees), as additional named insureds (the "Additional Insureds") (and the
policy shall be promptly amended upon the request of Lessor to add any
additional named successors or assigns of Lessor, GECAS, or Owner) as their
interests may appear (but without imposing upon the Additional Insureds, any
obligation imposed upon the insured, including, without limitation, the
liability to pay any premiums for, any such policies); (ii) expressly provide
that, in respect of the interests of the Additional Insureds, in such policies,
the insurance shall not be invalidated by any action or inaction of Lessee, and
shall insure the Additional Insureds, regardless of any breach or violation of
any warranty, declaration or condition contained in such policies by Lessee or
any other party other, and provided the Person so protected has not caused,
contributed to or knowingly condoned such action or inaction, other than with
respect to an Additional Insured in connection with a breach or violation by
such Additional Insured; (iii) provide that if there is a cancellation or
material adverse alteration of the insurance, such cancellation or alteration
shall not be effective as to the Additional Insureds for thirty (30) days (seven
(7) days or such lesser period as from time to time may be applicable in the
case of any war risks for allied perils coverage) after issuance to Lessor of
written notice by telecopy or overnight courier, by such insurer or insurers of
such prospective cancellation or change; (iv) include coverage for the
territorial limits of any country (including its airspace) in which the Aircraft
operates on a worldwide basis subject to such limitations and exclusions as
Lessor may reasonably agree; (v) provide that, as against the Additional
Insureds, the insurer waives any rights of set-off, counterclaim or any other
deduction (except to the extent set forth in an insurance certificate which
shall have been approved by Lessor), whether by attachment or otherwise, and
agrees to waive rights of subrogation against the Additional Insureds, provided,
however, that such waiver of subrogation need not extend to claims against third
parties; (vi) provide that no amount due from the Lessee or any other Person to
any insurer or broker shall be deducted from any amount payable to a third party
under such insurance

                                       39

<PAGE>

policy; (vii) provide that in the event of any damage or loss, whether or not a
Casualty Occurrence hereunder, and which results in a payment, such payment
shall be payable directly to Lessor or its assignee as loss payees, for the
account of all interests; provided, however, that so long as no Default or Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, payments with respect to
property damage loss to the Airframe or Engine not constituting a Casualty
Occurrence, or any Part, in any amount not to exceed **Material Redacted** may
be paid to Lessee to be applied for the repair or replacement necessitated by
such property damage and Lessee shall notify Lessor in writing of any such
payments in excess of the Damage Notification Threshold and the nature of the
property damage giving rise to such payments; (viii) provide that none of the
Additional Insureds shall be liable for any insurance premium; (ix) expressly
exclude any fleet aggregate, ground aggregate or any other type of sublimit,
limiting coverage to the Aircraft unless (A) Lessee, all other loss payees and
all other insureds, other than Lessor, execute and deliver a subordination
agreement, in form reasonably acceptable to Lessor, whereby such parties agree
to subordinate their rights to the rights of Lessor or (B) Lessee obtains an
excess policy of insurance which provides insurance coverage in an amount not
less than the Casualty Value of the Aircraft for the express and exclusive
benefit of Lessor or (C) any such aggregate or sublimit is set forth in an
insurance certificate which shall have been approved by Lessor; and (x) be
reinsured outside the Country of Registration with an Approved Insurer in the
international reinsurance markets for an amount not less than 97.5% of the
insured risk for each type of coverage required to be maintained hereunder and,
to the extent of any reinsurance, include a cut-through provision permitting the
Additional Insureds to file claims and to obtain payment directly from the
reinsurers under the reinsurance policies. Each such policy shall be primary
without right of contribution (except to the extent set forth in an insurance
certificate which shall have been approved by Lessor), from any other insurance
which may be carried by any of the Additional Insureds, and, with respect to
liability coverage, shall expressly provide that all of the provisions thereof
shall operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy covering
each insured, provided that such policies shall not operate to increase the
insurer's limit of liability and shall not operate to permit claims recoverable
under the hull policy to be recoverable as liability claims.

     Lessee shall have the right to carry insurance in excess of the amounts
required hereunder and the proceeds of such excess insurance shall be payable to
Lessee; provided, however that no such excess insurance shall prejudice any
insurance coverages required to be maintained by Lessee hereunder. Similarly,
Lessor shall have the right to carry additional and separate insurance for its
own benefit at its own expense, without, however, thereby limiting Lessee's
obligations under this Section 12, provided that no such insurance maintained by
Lessor shall prejudice any insurance coverage required to be maintained by
Lessee hereunder or the recovery by Lessee thereunder.

     (d) Application of Insurance Proceeds for a Casualty Occurrence. It is
agreed that insurance payments which arise from any policy of insurance carried
by Lessee and received as the result of the occurrence of a Casualty Occurrence
shall be applied as follows:

          (i) if such payments are received with respect to a Casualty
Occurrence relating to the Airframe and Engines or engines installed on the
Airframe, so much of such payments as shall not exceed the amounts due under
Section 11(a) hereof shall be paid to Owner, and the balance to Lessee; and

          (ii) if such payments are received with respect to a Casualty
Occurrence relating

                                       40

<PAGE>

to an Engine under circumstances contemplated by Section 11(b) hereof, such
payment shall be adjusted with Lessee (provided that Lessee has not breached any
warranty, declaration or condition contained in the applicable insurance policy)
and paid over to Lessee, provided that Lessee shall have fully performed or,
concurrently therewith, will fully perform the terms of Section 11(b) hereof.

     (e) Application of Insurance Proceeds for Other than a Casualty Occurrence.
Subject to the proviso in Section 12(c)(vi) above, the insurance payments for
any property damage loss to the Airframe or any Engine not constituting a
Casualty Occurrence, or to any Part, will be applied in payment (or to reimburse
Lessor/Lessee) for repairs or replacement property upon Lessor's receipt of
evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that repairs or replacement have been
effected in accordance with this Agreement.

     (f) Application in Default. Any amount referred to in Section 12(d)(i) or
(ii) of Section 12(e) which is otherwise payable to Lessee shall not be paid to
Lessee, or, if it has been previously paid to Lessee, and not yet applied by
Lessee as permitted or required hereunder, shall be delivered by Lessee to
Lessor, if at the time of such payment, a Default or an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing. In either case, all such amounts shall be held
by Lessor as security for the obligations of Lessee, or, at the option of
Lessor, applied by Lessor toward payment of any of Lessee's obligations at the
time due hereunder. At such time as there shall not be continuing any such
Default or Event of Default, all such amounts at the time held by Lessor in
excess of the amount, if any, which Lessor has elected for application as
provided above, shall be paid to Lessee.

     (g) Certificates of Insurance. On or before the Delivery Date, and
thereafter on each renewal by Lessee of the insurance required hereby, but not
less often than annually, Lessee will furnish to Lessor one or more certificates
(substantially in the form of Exhibits G and H hereto or such other form to
which Lessor shall have agreed) each executed and delivered by an Approved
Insurance Broker who is authorized by one or more Approved Insurers, appointed
by Lessee, which together shall describe in reasonable detail insurance carried
on the Aircraft and confirming the Approved Insurers' agreement to the specified
insurance requirements of this Lease. Lessee will cause each such Approved
Insurance Broker who is authorized by an Approved Insurer to agree to advise
Lessor in writing at least thirty (30) days (seven (7) days or such lesser
period as may from time to time be applicable in the case of any war risk and
allied perils coverage) prior to the non-renewal, termination or cancellation by
the underwriters for any reason (including, without limitation, failure to pay
the premium therefor) of any such insurance or as soon as possible in respect of
"non-renewal" or automatic termination for war risk.

                                       41

     Section 13. Indemnification.

     Lessee agrees to indemnify, reimburse and hold harmless each Indemnitee
from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, demands,
suits, judgments, causes of action, legal proceedings, whether civil or
criminal, penalties, fines and other sanctions, and any attorneys' fees and
other reasonable costs and expenses in connection herewith or therewith,
including any of the foregoing arising or imposed with or without Lessor's fault
or negligence (whether passive or active) or under the doctrine of strict
liability (any and all of which are hereafter referred to as "Claims") which in
any way may result from, pertain to or arise in any manner out of, or are in any
manner related to (a) the Aircraft or this Lease, or the breach of any
representation, warranty or covenant made by Lessee hereunder, or (b) the
condition, ownership, manufacture, purchase, delivery, non-delivery, lease,
acceptance, rejection, possession, return, disposition or use, or operation of
the Aircraft either in the air or on the ground, or (c) any defect in the
Aircraft (whether or not discovered or discoverable by Lessee or Lessor) arising
from the material or any articles used therein or from the design, testing, or
use thereof or from any maintenance, service, repair, overhaul, or testing of
the Aircraft, whether or not the Aircraft is in the possession of Lessee, and
regardless of where the Aircraft may then be located, or (d) any transaction,
approval, or document contemplated by this Lease or given or entered into in
connection herewith; provided, however, that Lessee shall be subrogated to all
rights and remedies which any Indemnitee may have against the Manufacturer of
the Aircraft and its subcontractors as to any such Claims, but only to the
extent that Lessee satisfies its indemnification obligation to such Indemnitee
hereunder with respect to such Claims. In the event Lessee is required to
indemnify any Indemnitee hereunder, Lessee shall pay to such Indemnitee an
amount which, after deduction of all Taxes and like charges required to be paid
by such Indemnitee in respect of such payment, is equal to the amount of the
indemnification required.

     Lessee shall not be required to indemnify any Indemnitee for any attorneys'
fees and expenses incurred by such Indemnitee in seeking indemnification from
Lessee and relating to an alleged breach of any representation, warranty or
covenant made by Lessee hereunder unless such Indemnitee prevails in the action
seeking such indemnification.

     Lessee hereby waives, and releases each Indemnitee from, any Claims
(whether existing now or hereafter arising) for or on account of or arising or
in any way connected with injury to or death of personnel of Lessee or loss or
damage to property of Lessee or the loss of use of any property which may result
from or arise in any manner out of or in relation to the ownership, leasing,
condition, use or operation of the Aircraft, either in the air or on the ground,
of which may be caused by any defect in the Aircraft from the material or any
article used therein or from the design or testing thereof, or use thereof, or
from any maintenance, service, repair, overhaul or testing of the Aircraft
regardless of when such defect may be discovered, whether or not the Aircraft is
at the time in the possession of Lessee, and regardless of the location of the
Aircraft at any such time excluding Claims resulting from the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of an Indemnitee.

     The indemnities contained in this Section 13 shall continue in full force
and effect notwithstanding the expiration or other termination of this Lease and
are expressly made for the benefit of and shall be enforceable by each
Indemnitee.

                                       42

<PAGE>

     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 13:

          Lessee shall not be obligated to make any payment by way of indemnity
in respect of any Claims against an Indemnitee:

          (i) which result from or arise out of the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitee or its Affiliates or out of a breach of such
Indemnitee's or its Affiliate's representations, warranties or covenants
hereunder or under any documents, agreement or instrument delivered in
connection herewith; or

          (ii) in respect to the Aircraft to extent that the same are
attributable to acts or events which occur after the Aircraft has been
redelivered to Lessor in accordance with Section 16 hereof and is no longer
subject to this Lease unless any such act or event shall itself directly result
from an act or omission of Lessee which occurred during the Term (provided,
however, that to the extent an Indemnitee is indemnified by Lessee for Claims
arising from acts or events which occur prior to the Delivery Date, such
Indemnitee shall assign to Lessee any rights it may have against other Persons
to recover for such Claims); or

          (iii) which represent Taxes which are excluded under Section 10(b);

          (iv) arising from the financing of the Aircraft or the voluntary or
involuntary sale, transfer or other disposition (other than in connection with
the exercise of an Indemnitee's remedies following an Event of Default or
Casualty Occurrence) of the Aircraft or this Lease or any part thereof or
interest therein, or the Rent or any interest therein, by any Person other than
Lessee;

          (v) which would not have occurred but for the existence of a Lien
(other than this Lease or a Lien arising by or through Lessee) which Lessee is
not responsible for discharging under this Lease; and

          (vi) which constitute ordinary and usual operating or overhead
expenses other than any such expense arising in connection with Lessor's
exercise of remedies hereunder following an Event of Default.

                                       43

     Section 14. Liens.

     LESSEE SHALL NOT DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY CREATE, INCUR, ASSUME OR SUFFER TO
EXIST ANY LIEN ON OR WITH RESPECT TO THE AIRCRAFT OR ANY ENGINE, TITLE THERETO
OR ANY INTEREST THEREIN, EXCEPT (a) THE RESPECTIVE RIGHTS OF LESSOR AND LESSEE
AS HEREIN PROVIDED; (b) LESSOR'S LIENS WITH RESPECT TO THE AIRCRAFT OR ANY
ENGINE; (c) LIENS FOR TAXES EITHER NOT YET DUE OR BEING CONTESTED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH SECTION 10 HEREOF AND SO LONG AS ADEQUATE RESERVES ARE MAINTAINED WITH
RESPECT TO SUCH LIENS; AND (d) INCHOATE MATERIALMEN'S, MECHANICS', WORKMEN'S,
REPAIRMEN'S, EMPLOYEES' OR OTHER LIKE LIENS ARISING IN THE ORDINARY COURSE OF
BUSINESS, WHICH EITHER ARE NOT DELINQUENT OR ARE BEING CONTESTED IN GOOD FAITH
BY LESSEE, SO LONG AS THE AIRCRAFT OR SUCH ENGINE IS NOT IN DANGER OF BEING
LOST, SOLD, CONFISCATED, FORFEITED OR SEIZED AS A RESULT OF ANY SUCH LIEN.
LESSEE SHALL PROMPTLY, AT ITS OWN EXPENSE, TAKE SUCH ACTION AS MAY BE NECESSARY
TO DULY DISCHARGE ANY LIEN (EXCEPT FOR THE LIENS REFERRED TO IN CLAUSES (a) AND
(b) OF THIS SECTION 14) IF THE SAME SHALL ARISE AT ANY TIME WITH RESPECT TO THE
AIRCRAFT OR ANY ENGINE.

     Section 15. Perfection of Title and Further Assurances.

     If at any time subsequent to the initial recordation of title under this
Lease, any filing or recording is reasonably necessary to protect the interests
of Owner or Lessor, Lessee, at its own cost and expense and upon request by
Lessor, shall cause this Lease, any financing statements with respect hereto,
and any and all additional instruments which shall be executed pursuant to the
terms hereof, to be kept, filed and recorded and to be reexecuted, refiled and
re-recorded in the appropriate office or offices pursuant to applicable Laws, to
perfect, protect and preserve the rights and interests of Lessor hereunder and
in the Aircraft. At the reasonable request of Lessor, Lessee shall furnish to
Lessor an opinion of counsel or other evidence satisfactory to Lessor of each
such filing or refiling and recordation or re-recordation.

     Without limiting the foregoing, Lessee shall do or cause to be done, at
Lessee's cost and expense, any and all acts and things which may be required
under the terms of the Mortgage Convention to perfect and preserve the title of
Owner and the interests of Owner and Lessor in the Aircraft within the
jurisdiction of any signatory which has ratified the Mortgage Convention if such
jurisdiction is in the territory in which Lessee may operate the Aircraft, as
Lessor may reasonably request. Lessee shall also do or cause to be done, at its
own expense, any and all acts and things which may be required under the terms
of any other Law involving any jurisdiction in which Lessee may operate, or any
and all acts and things which Lessor may reasonably request, to perfect and
preserve Lessor's ownership rights regarding the Aircraft within any such
jurisdiction.

     In addition, Lessee will promptly and duly execute and deliver to Lessor
such further documents and assurances and take such further actions as it may
from time to time reasonably request in order to more effectively carry out the
intent and purpose of this Lease and to establish and protect the rights and
remedies created or intended to be created in favor of Lessor hereunder,
including without limitation, if reasonably requested by Lessor at the expense
of Lessee, the

                                       44

<PAGE>

execution and delivery of supplements or amendments hereto in recordable form,
subjecting to this Lease any Replacement Engine and the recording or filing of
counterparts thereof, in accordance with the laws of any appropriate
jurisdiction.

     Section 16. Return of Aircraft and Records.

     (a) Return. On the Expiration Date, Lessee, at its own expense, shall
return the Aircraft to Lessor in the condition specified on Exhibit E hereto at
the location specified as "Return Location" set forth on Exhibit C hereto, fully
equipped with all required Parts and Engines, duly installed thereon, together
with Aircraft Documents and records which are complete and acceptable to the
DAC, by delivering the same to Lessor at such location.

     (b) Legal Status Upon Return. Upon the Return Occasion, the Aircraft shall
be: (i) free and clear of all Liens, except Lessor's Liens; (ii) duly certified
as an airworthy aircraft by the DAC with the current and valid airworthiness
certificate installed on the Aircraft; (iii) equipped and in full airworthy
condition required to allow the Aircraft to be operated in commercial
transportation of passengers under applicable rules and regulations of the DAC
and in full compliance with Part 129; (iv) duly registered under the applicable
Law of the Country of Registration; (v) in full compliance with the Maintenance
Program; (vi) in full compliance with all FAA Airworthiness Directives which by
their terms require compliance on or before the ninety (90) days following the
Expiration Date; and (vii) in compliance with the requirements of the FAA
regulations found at Part 36, Appendix C, Stage 3, noise compliance, without
waiver or performance restriction.

     (c) Engines. Lessee may return the Aircraft on the Return Occasion with an
engine not owned by Lessor, so long as (i) such engine was not installed on the
Aircraft solely for the purpose of reducing the number of hours or cycles
(whichever is the more limiting factor) remaining until the next scheduled
restriction in accordance with the Maintenance Program under which the Engines
are maintained; (ii) such engine conforms to the requirements set forth in
Section 11(b) hereof with respect to a Replacement Engine without regard to
flight hours or cycles remaining on LLPs or time since heavy maintenance, except
Lessor may in its discretion choose among the engines presented by Lessee as
candidates for substitution; (iii) such engine shall conform to the return
condition requirements set forth in Section 16(f) hereof; and (iv) Lessee, at
its own expense and concurrently with such delivery, furnishes Lessor with a
bill of sale, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, with
respect to such engine and with evidence that Lessee is transferring full and
unencumbered title to such engine (including, if requested, an opinion of
Lessee's counsel to the effect of the opinion required by Section 11(b)(iv)
hereof) and takes such other action as Lessor may reasonably request in order
that title to such engine shall be duly and fully vested in Owner. Lessee's
obligation to comply with the terms of this Section 16(c) shall be conditioned
on Lessor's transferring, or causing to be transferred, to Lessee title to any
Engine not installed on the Aircraft at the Return Occasion, without any
representation, warranty or recourse of any kind whatsoever, express or implied,
except a warranty that such Engine is free and clear of Liens, other than Liens
which Lessee is required to discharge hereunder, or defects in title resulting
from acts of Owner or Lessor.

     (d) Records. Upon the Return Occasion, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor all
logs, manuals, and data and inspection, modification and overhaul records which
are required to be maintained with respect to the Aircraft and Engines under the
Maintenance Program and in

                                       45

<PAGE>

accordance with applicable rules and regulations of the DAC. Lessee shall
deliver to Lessor a copy of such portions of Lessee's Maintenance Program as are
necessary to enable the subsequent operator of the Aircraft to bridge the
maintenance of the Aircraft to its own maintenance program; provided, that
Lessor agrees to maintain such information in strict confidence and to use such
information only for the foregoing purpose, and, prior to providing such
information to any other Person, Lessor shall obtain a written agreement to the
same effect from such other Person in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to Lessee. All such documents shall have been maintained in English, or be
accompanied by a certified English translation.

     (e) Service Bulletin and Modification Kits. At or upon the return of the
Aircraft pursuant to this Section 16, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor, at no cost
to Lessor, all service bulletin kits furnished without charge by a manufacturer
for installation on the Aircraft which have not been so installed together with
appropriate instructions for installation. In the event such uninstalled kits
were purchased or manufactured by Lessee for the Aircraft, then Lessor shall
have a right to purchase such kits at Lessee's cost for a period of ninety (90)
days after return.

     (f) Condition of Aircraft. Upon the Return Occasion applicable to the
Aircraft, Lessee shall return the Aircraft to Lessor in such condition that the
Aircraft shall comply with all of the conditions set forth on Exhibit E hereto.

     (g) Final Inspection. Upon the Return Occasion, Lessee shall make the
Aircraft available to Lessor at Lessee's principal maintenance base or at the
location at which the "C" check referred to below is being performed for
detailed inspection, at Lessee's expense (provided, that Lessee shall not bear
any costs or expenses associated with Lessor's representatives), in order to
verify that the condition of the Aircraft complies with the requirements set
forth above (such inspection being hereinafter referred to as the "Final
Inspection"). The Final Inspection shall be conducted concurrently with the "C"
Check to be performed immediately prior to the Return Occasion. Lessee shall
give Lessor not less than ten (10) days prior written notice of the commencement
date of such "C" Check. The period allowed for the Final Inspection shall have
such duration as to permit Lessor to verify Lessee's satisfaction of the
requirements of Exhibit E and shall continue on consecutive days until all
activity required above to be conducted during the Final Inspection has been
concluded; provided, however, that Lessor shall use its best efforts to complete
the Final Inspection contemporaneously with the completion of such "C" Check. To
the extent that any portion of the Final Inspection extends beyond the
Expiration Date, the Term shall be deemed to have been automatically extended,
and the obligation to pay Rent hereunder continued on a daily basis until the
Final Inspection shall have been concluded, provided that such Rent shall be
payable only if (i) Lessor provided on a timely basis sufficient personnel to
complete the Final Inspection in a timely manner and (ii) the cause of such
extension is not directly attributable to Lessor or its personnel. All storage
expenses attributable to any extension of the Term pursuant to the preceding
sentence shall be payable by Lessee.

     (h) Aircraft Documentation. In order to enable Lessor to prepare for the
Final Inspection of the Aircraft pursuant to Section 16(g) above, Lessee agrees
to make available to Lessor at Lessee's principal maintenance base not later
than ten (10) days prior to the commencement of such Final Inspection, the
Aircraft Documents listed on Exhibit B hereto, together with such other
documentation regarding the condition, use, maintenance, operation and history
of the Aircraft during Lessee's possession as Lessor may reasonably request.

                                       46

<PAGE>

     (i) Corrections and Subsequent Corrections. In the event that the Aircraft
or any Engine fails upon the Return Occasion to conform to any return condition
requirement imposed by this Lease and particularly Section 16(f) and (Exhibit
E), Lessor may, without prejudice to the right of Lessee to claim that the
Aircraft did comply with such return condition requirement, (i) continue the
Lease in effect in the manner provided for in Section 16(g) above with regard to
automatic extension until such time as the Aircraft is brought up to the
condition required by Section 16(f) above or (ii) accept the return of the
Aircraft and thereafter have any such nonconformance corrected, at such time as
Lessor may deem appropriate but not to occur later than ninety (90) days
following the return of the Aircraft, at commercial rates then charged by the
Person selected by Lessor to perform such correction. Any direct expense
incurred by Lessor for such correction shall become Supplemental Rent payable by
Lessee within thirty (30) days following the submission of a written statement
by Lessor to Lessee, identifying the items corrected and setting forth the
expense of such correction. Lessee's obligations to pay such Supplemental Rent
shall survive the passage of the Expiration Date or other termination of this
Lease.

     (j) Additional Maintenance, Repair or Overhaul. Upon the Return Occasion
and upon written request of Lessor made at least fifteen (15) days prior to the
Expiration Date, Lessee shall (subject to the availability to Lessee of
facilities and manpower) store and insure the Aircraft for a period of up to
forty-five (45) days, and perform such additional maintenance, repair, or
overhaul of the Aircraft as is requested by Lessor in the same manner and with
the same care as used for similar aircraft and engines owned by Lessee, provided
that Lessor shall reimburse Lessee for its documented costs, at Lessee's
standard contract rate, for such storage, maintenance, repair, or overhaul.
Lessor shall reimburse Lessee for its actual cost of insurance in connection
with maintaining the Aircraft under Lessee's insurance coverage during the
storage period. Such additional maintenance, repair or overhaul shall not extend
this Lease. Maintenance requested by Lessor other than that specifically
required by the terms of this Lease shall be performed by Lessee and paid for by
Lessor at Lessee's standard contract rate for such maintenance as agreed to by
Lessor.

     (k) Functional Check Flight. Immediately prior to the expiration of the
Term, a qualified pilot and not more than two (2) technical representatives
selected by Lessor, in conjunction with Lessee's flight crew, will accomplish a
functional check flight of not more than two (2) hour's durations in accordance
with Lessee's procedures and at Lessee's expense to demonstrate the
airworthiness of the Aircraft and proper functioning of all systems and
components; provided, Lessor shall be responsible for the charges of Lessor's
technical representatives. At all times during such functional check flight
Lessee's flight crew shall be in command of the Aircraft. Any discrepancy or
malfunction detected of an airworthiness or operational nature by normal airline
standards shall be corrected at Lessee's expense. To the extent possible, the
functional check flight shall be combined with the return of the Aircraft under
Section 16(a).

     (l) Technical Acceptance at Return. Provided that Lessor is reasonably
satisfied that all of the conditions for return of the Aircraft set forth in
this Lease have been satisfied (either through performance or through the
payment of the amounts in lieu thereof specified in Exhibit E hereto), Lessor
shall execute and deliver a Technical Acceptance Receipt substantially in the
form annexed hereto as Exhibit H with appropriate changes to reflect the
circumstances of redelivery of

                                       47

<PAGE>

the Aircraft.

     (m) Maintenance Payments at Redelivery. On the Return Occasion, Lessee
shall make Maintenance Payments to Lessor pursuant to Paragraph 5 of Exhibit C,
by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account specified as the
Payment Location in Exhibit C.

     (n) Excusable Delay. Lessee shall not have to pay Rent for any period after
the end of the Term during which Lessee did not return the Aircraft to Lessor
due to an Excusable Delay.

     Section 17. Events of Default

     Any one or more of the following occurrences or events shall constitute an
Event of Default:

     (a) Lessee shall fail to make any payment of Rent to Lessor when due, in
full and in the manner and at the place required under this Lease and such
payment shall be overdue for a period of **Material Redacted** Business Days
following written notice from Lessor;

     (b) Lessee shall fail to obtain and maintain any insurance required under
the provisions of Section 12 hereof; or shall operate the Aircraft outside of
the scope of the insurance coverage maintained with respect to the Aircraft;

     (c) Any representation or warranty made by Lessee herein or in any document
or certificate furnished Lessor in connection herewith or therewith or pursuant
hereto is incorrect at the time given in any material respect and, if capable of
being cured, shall not have been remedied within **Material Redacted** days
after notice thereof is given by Lessor to Lessee;

     (d) Lessee shall fail to timely comply with the provisions of Section 20(i)
hereof;

     (e) Lessee shall fail to timely comply with its obligation under Section 3
hereof to accept delivery of the Aircraft when tendered by Lessor meeting the
delivery conditions set forth in Exhibit A and such failure is not cured within
**Material Redacted** Business Days;

     (f) Lessee shall fail to timely comply with its obligations pursuant to
Section 14 hereof and such failure shall continue for a period of **Material
Redacted** days after written notice thereof is given by Lessor to Lessee;

     (g) Lessee shall make or permit any unauthorized assignment or transfer of
this Lease, or any interest therein, or of the right to possession of the
Aircraft, the Airframe, or any Engine;

     (h) Lessee shall fail to perform or observe any other covenant, condition
or agreement to be performed or observed by it pursuant to this Lease and such
failure shall continue for a period of **Material Redacted** days after written
notice thereof is given by Lessor to Lessee (provided, however, that if such
failure relates to a covenant, condition or agreement which is not material (as
determined by Lessor in its reasonable discretion) and such failure results from
circumstances beyond Lessee's reasonable control and Lessee demonstrates to the
reasonable satisfaction of Lessor that Lessee is diligently taking all
commercially reasonable actions necessary to remedy such

                                       48

<PAGE>

failure, such failure shall not constitute an Event of Default hereunder for as
long as such failure remains not material (as determined by Lessor in its
reasonable discretion) and outside of the control of Lessee and Lessee is so
acting to remedy such failure);

     (i) **Material Redacted**;

     (j) Lessee consents to the appointment of a receiver, trustee or liquidator
of itself or of a substantial part of its property, or Lessee admits in writing
its inability to pay its debts generally as they come due, or makes a general
assignment for the benefit of creditors, or Lessee files a voluntary petition in
bankruptcy or a voluntary petition seeking reorganization in a proceeding under
any bankruptcy laws (as now or hereafter in effect), or an answer admitting the
material allegations of a petition filed against Lessee in any such proceeding,
or Lessee by voluntary petition, answer or consent seeks relief under the
provisions of any bankruptcy or other similar law providing for the
reorganization or winding-up of corporations, or provides for an agreement,
composition, extension or adjustment with its creditors;

     (k) An order, judgment or decree is entered by any court, with or without
the consent of Lessee, appointing a receiver, trustee or liquidator for Lessee
or of all or any substantial part of its property, or all or any substantial
part of the property of Lessee is sequestered, and any such order, judgment or
decree of appointment or sequestration remains in effect, undismissed, unstayed
or unvacated for a period of forty-five (45) days after the date of entry
thereof;

     (l) A petition against Lessee in a proceeding under the bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar Laws (as now or hereafter in effect) of any
Governmental Entity is filed and is not withdrawn or dismissed within **Material
Redacted** days thereafter, or if, under the provisions of any Law providing for
reorganization or winding-up of corporations which may apply to Lessee, any
court of competent jurisdiction assumes jurisdiction over, or custody or control
of, Lessee or of all or any substantial part of its property and such
jurisdiction, custody or control remains in effect, unrelinquished, unstayed or
unterminated for a period of **Material Redacted** days;

     (m) A final judgment for the payment of money not covered by insurance in
excess of **Material Redacted**, or final judgments for the payment of money not
covered by insurance in excess of **Material Redacted** in the aggregate, shall
be rendered against Lessee and the same shall remain undischarged for a period
of **Material Redacted** days during which execution thereof shall not be
effectively stayed by agreement of the parties involved, stayed by court order
or adequately bonded or attachments or other Liens, except for security
interests;

     (n) Attachments or other Liens shall be issued or entered against
substantially all of the property of Lessee and shall remain undischarged or
unbonded for **Material Redacted** days except for security interests created in
connection with monies borrowed or obligations agreed to by Lessee in the
ordinary course of its business;

     (o) Lessee shall default in the payment of any obligation for the payment
of borrowed money, for the deferred purchase price of property or for the
payment of rent or hire under any lease of aircraft which has a principal amount
of **Material Redacted** or more (determined in the case of borrowed money by
the amount outstanding under the agreement pursuant to which such borrowed money
was borrowed, in the case of a deferred purchase price by the remaining balance

                                       49

<PAGE>

and in the case of a lease by the present discounted value of the remaining rent
or hire payable thereunder (ignoring any fair market renewal)) when the same
becomes due and after giving effect to any applicable grace period, if such
nonpayment results in the acceleration of any such indebtedness or any lessor
shall have demanded the payment of any liquidated damages or similar amount or
has exercised its rights to repossession of such property; or Lessee shall
default in the performance of any other term, agreement or condition contained
in any material agreement or instrument under or by which any such obligation is
created, evidenced or secured, if the effect of such default is to cause such
obligation to become due prior to its stated maturity;

     (p) Lessee voluntarily suspends all or substantially all of its operations
or the franchises, concessions, permits, rights or privileges required for the
conduct of the business and operations of Lessee shall be revoked, canceled or
otherwise terminated or the free and continued use and exercise thereof
curtailed or prevented, and as a result of any of the foregoing the preponderant
business activity of Lessee shall cease to be that of a commercial airline; or

     (q) Without the prior written consent of Lessor, the Letter of Credit shall
have been canceled, revoked or otherwise terminated prior to its original
termination date or amended, modified, altered or replaced or there shall, for
any reason, cease to be a letter of credit or letters of credit, as applicable,
with terms and conditions and in the amount required hereunder in full force and
effect at any time during the Term.

     Lessee hereby acknowledges that the occurrence of any one of the foregoing
Events of Default would represent a material default in the performance of its
obligations under this Lease.

     Section 18. Remedies.

     Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and any time thereafter so long
as the same shall be continuing, Lessor may, at its option and without notice to
Lessee, exercise one or more of the following remedies as Lessor in its sole
discretion shall elect, to the extent available and permitted by, and subject to
compliance with any mandatory requirements of, applicable Law then in effect;
provided that, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default specified in
paragraphs (j), (k) or (l) of Section 17, the Lessor shall be entitled
automatically, as of the day prior to such occurrence, to exercise any of the
following remedies without making demand or giving notice or the taking of any
other action:

     (a) Demand that Lessee, and Lessee shall upon the written demand of Lessor
and at Lessee's expense, immediately return the Aircraft to Lessor in the manner
specified in such notice, in which event such return shall not be delayed for
purposes of complying with the return conditions specified in Section 16 hereof
(none of which conditions shall be deemed to affect Lessor's possession of the
Aircraft) or delay for any other reason. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at
Lessor's option Lessee shall be required thereafter to take such actions as
would be required by the provisions of this Lease if the Aircraft were being
returned at the end of the Term hereof and Lessor agrees to cooperate with
Lessee's required actions. In addition, Lessor, at its option and to the extent
permitted by applicable Law, may enter upon the premises where all or any part
of the Aircraft is located and take immediate possession of and, at Lessor's
sole option, remove the same (and/or any engine which is not an Engine but which
is installed on the Airframe, subject to the rights of the owner, lessor or
secured party thereof) by summary proceedings or otherwise, all

                                       50

<PAGE>

without liability accruing to Lessor for or by reason of such entry or taking of
possession whether for the restoration of damage to property, or otherwise,
caused by such entry or taking, except damages caused by gross negligence or
willful misconduct.

     (b) Sell at private or public sale, as Lessor may determine, or hold, use,
operate or lease to others the Aircraft as Lessor in its sole discretion may
determine, all free and clear of any rights to Lessee.

     (c) Whether or not Lessor shall have exercised, or shall thereafter at any
time exercise, any of its rights under paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) of this
Section 18, Lessor, by thirty (30) days written notice to Lessee specifying a
payment date, may demand that Lessee pay to Lessor, and Lessee shall pay to
Lessor, on the payment date specified in such notice, as liquidated damages for
loss of bargain and not as a penalty (in lieu of the Basic Rent due for the
period commencing after the date specified for payment in such notice), any
unpaid Rent for the Aircraft (prorated in the case of Basic Rent on a daily
basis) to and including the payment date specified in such notice, plus the
amount, if any, by which the aggregate Basic Rent for the remainder of the Term,
discounted periodically (equal to installment frequency) to present worth at the
interest rate of four percent (4%) per annum, exceeds the fair market rental
value (determined pursuant to the Appraisal Procedure) of the Aircraft for the
remainder of the Term, after discounting such fair market rental value
periodically (equal to installment frequency) to present worth as of the payment
date specified in such notice at the interest rate of four percent (4%) per
annum.

     (d) In the event that Lessor, pursuant to Section 18(b) above, shall have
relet the Aircraft under a lease which extends at least to the date upon which
the Term for the Aircraft would have expired but for Lessee's default, Lessor,
in lieu of exercising its rights under Section 18(c) above with respect to the
Aircraft, may, if it shall so elect, demand that Lessee pay Lessor, and Lessee
shall pay Lessor, as liquidated damages for loss of bargain and not as a penalty
(in lieu of the Basic Rent for the Aircraft due after the time of reletting) any
unpaid Rent for the Aircraft due up to the date of reletting, plus the amount,
if any, by which the aggregate Basic Rent for the Aircraft, which would
otherwise have become due over the Term, discounted periodically (equal to
installment frequency) to present worth and of the date of reletting at the
interest rate of four percent (4%) per annum, exceeds the aggregate basic rental
payments to become due under the reletting from the date of such reletting to
the date upon which the Term for the Aircraft would have expired but for
Lessee's default, discounted periodically (equal to installment frequency) to
present worth as of the date of the reletting at the interest rate of four
percent (4%) per annum.

     (e) Proceed by appropriate court action or actions, either at law or in
equity, to enforce performance by Lessee of the applicable covenants of this
Lease and to recover damages for the breach thereof and to rescind this Lease.

     (f) Terminate this Lease by written notice (which notice shall be effective
upon dispatch) and repossess the Aircraft.

     (g) Draw upon all amounts under the Security Letter of Credit, Security
Deposit, Supplemental Rent, and other supplemental rent, security deposits or
letters of credit held by Lessor or Lessor's Affiliates under any of the Related
Leases and apply such amounts to amounts owing to Lessor hereunder.

                                       51

<PAGE>

     In addition to the foregoing, Lessee shall be liable for any and all unpaid
Rent, together with interest on such unpaid amounts at the Interest Rate, until
satisfaction of all of Lessee's obligations to Lessor hereunder and for all
reasonable legal fees and other reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lessor
by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default or the exercise of Lessor's
remedies with respect thereto, including all costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the return of the Aircraft in accordance with the terms of
Section 16 hereof or in placing the Aircraft in the condition and with
airworthiness certification as required by such Section.

     In effecting any repossession, Lessor and its representatives and agents,
to the extent permitted by law, shall: (i) have the right to enter upon any
premises where it reasonably believes the Aircraft, the Airframe, an Engine or
Part to be located; (ii) not be liable, in conversion or otherwise, for the
taking of any personal property of Lessee which is in or attached to the
Aircraft, the Airframe, an Engine or Part which is repossessed; provided,
however, that Lessor shall return to Lessee all personal property of Lessee, its
passengers or other Persons (such as lessors) which were on the Aircraft at the
time Lessor re-takes possession of the Aircraft; (iii) not be liable or
responsible, in any manner, for any inadvertent damage or injury to any of
Lessee's property in repossessing and holding the Aircraft, the Airframe, an
Engine or Part, except for that caused by or in connection with Lessor's gross
negligence or willful acts; (iv) have the right to maintain possession of and
dispose of the Aircraft, the Airframe, an Engine or Part on any premises owned
by Lessee or under Lessee's control; and (v) have the right to obtain a key to
any premises at which the Aircraft, the Airframe, an Engine or Part, may be
located from the landlord or owner thereof.

     If reasonably required by Lessor, Lessee, at its sole expense, shall
assemble and make the Aircraft, the Airframe, an Engine or Part available at a
place designated by Lessor in accordance with Section 16 hereof. Lessee hereby
agrees that, in the event of the return to or repossession by Lessor of the
Aircraft, the Airframe, an Engine or Part, any rights in any warranty (express
or implied) heretofore assigned to Lessee or otherwise held by Lessee shall
without further act, notice or writing be assigned or reassigned to Lessor, if
assignable. Lessee shall be liable to Lessor for all reasonable expenses,
disbursements, costs and fees incurred in (i) repossessing, storing, preserving,
shipping, maintaining, repairing and refurbishing the Aircraft, the Airframe, an
Engine or Part to the condition required by Section 16 hereof and (ii) preparing
the Aircraft, the Airframe, an Engine or Part for sale or lease, advertising the
sale or lease of the Aircraft, the Airframe, an Engine or Part and selling or
releasing the Aircraft, the Airframe, an Engine or Part. Lessor is hereby
authorized and instructed, at its option, to make reasonable expenditures which
Lessor considers advisable to repair and restore the Aircraft, the Airframe, an
Engine or Part to the condition required by Section 16 hereof, all at Lessee's
sole expense.

     At any public sale of the Aircraft, the Airframe, an Engine or Part
pursuant to this Section, Lessor may bid for and purchase such property and
Lessee agrees that the amounts paid therefor shall be used in the computation
contemplated herein.

     No remedy referred to in this Section 18 is intended to be exclusive, but,
to the extent permissible hereunder or under applicable Law, each shall be
cumulative and in addition to any other remedy referred to above or otherwise
available to Lessor at Law or in equity; and the exercise or beginning of
exercise by Lessor of any one or more of such remedies shall not preclude the
simultaneous or later exercise by Lessor of any or all of such other remedies.
No express or

                                       52

<PAGE>

implied waiver by Lessor of any Default or Event of Default shall in any way be,
or be construed to be, a waiver of any future or subsequent Default or Event of
Default. Lessor acknowledges a duty under New York law to mitigate damages
resulting from any Default or Event of Default on the part of Lessee.

     Section 19. Alienation.

     LESSOR SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT AT ITS SOLE COST AND EXPENSE TO ASSIGN, SELL OR
ENCUMBER ANY INTEREST OF LESSOR IN THE AIRCRAFT OR THIS LEASE AND/OR THE
PROCEEDS HEREOF SUBJECT TO THE RIGHTS OF LESSEE UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THIS
LEASE. NO ASSIGNMENT, SALE OR OTHER TRANSFER OF LESSOR'S INTEREST OR CREATION OF
ANY LIEN SHALL DIMINISH OR ADVERSELY AFFECT LESSEE'S RIGHTS HEREUNDER OR
INCREASE LESSEE'S DUTIES OR THE LIABILITIES OF LESSEE IN RESPECT OF ANY TAX OR
UNDER ANY OF ITS INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS, OR CAUSE LESSEE TO INCUR ANY
OBLIGATIONS, COST OR EXPENSE IN EXCESS OF THOSE FOR WHICH IT WOULD HAVE BEEN
RESPONSIBLE IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH ASSIGNMENT, SALE OR TRANSFER. LESSOR AGREES
TO OBTAIN THE WRITTEN ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF ANY ASSIGNEE TO LESSEE'S RIGHT TO QUIET
ENJOYMENT AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 20(f). TO EFFECT OR FACILITATE ANY SUCH
ASSIGNMENT, SALE OR ENCUMBRANCE, LESSEE AGREES TO PROVIDE, AT LESSOR'S SOLE COST
AND EXPENSE, SUCH AGREEMENTS, CONSENTS, CONVEYANCES OR DOCUMENTS AS MAY BE
REASONABLY REQUESTED BY LESSOR, WHICH SHALL INCLUDE, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
PROVIDED THAT LESSEE CONSENTS TO SUCH A RELEASE, AN UNRESTRICTED RELEASE OF
LESSOR FROM ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS LEASE. LESSEE SHALL NOT UNREASONABLY
WITHHOLD ITS CONSENT TO SUCH A RELEASE, AND LESSEE SHALL IN ANY EVENT BE
REQUIRED TO SO CONSENT IF LESSOR PROVIDES ADEQUATE ASSURANCE OF PERFORMANCE OF
LESSOR'S OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER BY AN ASSIGNEE. LESSOR SHALL ALSO REIMBURSE
LESSEE FOR ANY FEES, EXPENSES OR OTHER COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH ANY FILINGS AND
REGISTRATIONS IN THE COUNTRY OF REGISTRATION OR OTHER JURISDICTIONS THAT ARE
REQUIRED TO BE MADE IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH SALE, ASSIGNMENT OR OTHER
TRANSFER OR THE PERFECTION AND MAINTENANCE OF ANY SUCH LIEN. LESSEE HEREBY
AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT ASSERT AGAINST AN ASSIGNEE ANY CLAIM OR DEFENSE WHICH IT
MAY HAVE AGAINST LESSOR. THE AGREEMENTS, COVENANTS, OBLIGATIONS, AND LIABILITIES
CONTAINED HEREIN INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ALL OBLIGATIONS TO PAY RENT AND
INDEMNIFY EACH INDEMNITEE ARE MADE FOR THE BENEFIT OF EACH INDEMNITEE AND THEIR
RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

     Section 20. Miscellaneous.

     (a) Severability and Construction. Any provision of this Lease which is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof; any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted
by applicable Law, Lessee hereby waives any provisions of Law which render any
provisions hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect. This Lease shall
constitute an agreement of lease, and nothing herein shall be construed as
conveying to Lessee any right, title or interest in the Aircraft or any Engine
or Part except as a lessee only. The headings in this Lease are for convenience
of reference only and shall not define or limit any of the terms of provisions
hereof. Whenever required by the context hereof, the singular shall include the
plural and vice versa. Reference to this Lease shall mean this Lease as amended
or supplemented from time to time.

     (b) Governing Law; Jurisdiction. THIS LEASE SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE
GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
(INCLUDING MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE BUT WITHOUT
REFERENCE TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES) EXECPT FOR THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION
7-101 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW (WHICH PROVISIONS THE PARTIES HAVE
AGREED FOR AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT ARE INAPPLICABLE TO THIS TRANSACTION) AND EXCEPT
FOR MATTERS GOVERNED BY THE FEDERAL LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES. LESSEE AND LESSOR
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENT THAT ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST IT OR ANY
OF ITS ASSETS WITH RESPECT TO THE LEASE MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY JURISDICTION WHERE
LESSEE OR LESSOR OR ANY OF ITS ASSETS MAY BE FOUND, OR IN ANY COURT OF THE STATE
OF NEW YORK OR ANY FEDERAL COURT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA LOCATED IN NEW
YORK, NEW YORK, AS LESSOR MAY ELECT, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS LEASE
LESSEE AND LESSOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO AND ACCEPT WITH REGARD TO ANY
SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDINGS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS ASSETS, GENERALLY
AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS.
LESSEE AND LESSOR HEREBY AGREE THAT IN THE EVENT THAT ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS
ARE BROUGHT IN THE COUNTRY OF REGISTRATION, NEITHER OWNER NOR THE LESSOR SHALL
BE REQUIRED TO POST ANY SECURITY IN ORDER FOR THE LESSOR TO TAKE POSSESSION OF
THE AIRCRAFT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS LEASE. LESSEE AND LESSOR
FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENT TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OUT OF ANY OF THE
AFOREMENTIONED COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES
THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED AIRMAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO LESSEE OR LESSOR
AT ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH ON EXHIBIT C HERETO. THE FOREGOING, HOWEVER, SHALL NOT
LIMIT THE RIGHTS OF LESSOR OR LESSEE TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER
PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO BRING ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING OR TO OBTAIN
EXECUTION OF JUDGMENT IN ANY JURISDICTION. LESSEE AND LESSOR FURTHER AGREE THAT
FINAL JUDGMENT AGAINST LESSEE OR LESSOR IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN
CONNECTION WITH THIS LEASE SHALL BE

                                       54

<PAGE>

CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION WITHIN OR OUTSIDE THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT, A CERTIFIED OR EXEMPLIFIED
COPY OF WHICH SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THE FACT AND THE AMOUNT OF
LESSEE'S OR LESSOR'S INDEBTEDNESS. LESSEE AND LESSOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE,
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH LESSEE OR LESSOR MAY
NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS LEASE BROUGHT IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND
HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR
PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT
FORUM.

          The foregoing notwithstanding, the parties agree that they shall
endeavor during a period of ten (10) Business Days to settle all disputes which
may arise from the application or interpretation of this Lease through direct
bilateral talks in the spirit of mutual understanding.

     (c) Notices. All notices required under the terms and provisions hereof
shall be in writing, shall be sent to Lessor or Lessee at their respective
addresses set forth on Exhibit C hereto (or such other addresses as the parties
may designate from time to time in writing) and, except as otherwise provided
herein, such notice shall become effective upon the earlier of actual receipt or
the fifth day following the date such notice is sent.

     (d) Lessor's Right to Perform for Lessee. If Lessee fails to make any
payment of Supplemental Rent required to be made by it hereunder or fails to
perform or comply with any covenant, agreement or obligation contained herein,
Lessor shall have the right but not the obligation to make such payment or
conform or comply with such agreement, covenant or obligation, and the amount of
such payment and the amount of the reasonable expenses of Lessor incurred in
connection with such payment or the performance thereof or compliance therewith,
together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate, shall be payable by Lessee
to Lessor (as Supplemental Rent) upon demand. Lessor agrees to notify Lessee in
writing prior to making any payment under this Section 20(d), unless the
Aircraft will be in danger of loss, sale, confiscation, forfeiture or seizure
should such payment not be made. The taking of any such action by Lessor
pursuant to this Subsection 20(d) shall not constitute a waiver or release of
any obligation of Lessee under the Lease, nor a waiver of any Event of Default
which may arise out of Lessee's nonperformance of such obligation, nor an
election or waiver by Lessor of any remedy or right available to Lessor under or
in relation to this Lease.

     (e) Counterparts. This Lease may be executed simultaneously in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument. To the extent, if any,
that this Lease constitutes chattel paper (as such term is defined in the
Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any applicable jurisdiction) no security
interest in this Lease may be created through the transfer or possession of any
counterpart other than the counterpart which has been marked "Original" on the
signature page thereof.

     (f) Quiet Enjoyment. Lessor covenants that so long as an Event of Default
shall not have occurred and be continuing, Lessee shall quietly enjoy the
Aircraft and all rents, revenues, profits and income thereto, without
interference by Owner, Lessor, or by any Person lawfully

                                       55

<PAGE>

claiming by or through Owner or Lessor; provided, however, that the proper
exercise by Lessor of its rights under or in connection with this Agreement will
not constitute such an interference. The foregoing covenant is in lieu of any
quiet enjoyment covenant of Lessor which may be available to Lessee under
Section 2A-211(i) of the New York Uniform Commercial Code or as may otherwise be
implied under applicable Law.

     (g) Brokers. Each of the parties hereby represents and warrants to the
other that it has not paid, agreed to pay or caused to be paid directly or
indirectly in any form, any commission, percentage, contingent fee, brokerage or
other similar payments of any kind, in connection with the establishment or
operation of this Agreement, to any Person (other than fees payable by Lessor
and Lessee to their respective legal advisers or compensation payable by Lessor
to GECAS for the portfolio management services performed on behalf of Lessor).
Each party agrees to indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against any
and all claims, suits, damages, costs and expenses (including, but not limited
to reasonable attorneys' fees) asserted by any agent, broker or other third
party for any commission or compensation of any nature whatsoever based upon
this Agreement or the Aircraft, if such claim, suit, damage, cost or expense
arises out of any breach by the indemnifying party, its employees or agents of
the representation and warranty given hereby.

     (h) Payments in U.S. Dollars. All amounts to be paid hereunder shall be
paid in Dollars, in immediately available funds, and all letters of credit
delivered hereunder shall provide for payment in Dollars. Lessee acknowledges
that the specification of Dollars in this transaction is of the essence and that
Dollars shall be the currency of account in any and all events. The obligations
of Lessee hereunder shall not be discharged by an amount paid in another
currency, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent that the
amount so paid on prompt conversion to Dollars and transfer to the account
specified in Exhibit C under the heading, "Payment Location" under normal
banking procedures does not yield the amount of Dollars owing to Lessor. In the
event that any payment by Lessee, whether pursuant to judgment or otherwise,
upon conversion does not yield such amount of Dollars, Lessor shall have a
separate cause of action against Lessee for the additional amount necessary to
yield the amount of Dollars due and owing to Lessor.

     (i) Security Letter of Credit. Subject to the provisions of Section 20(j)
below, on the dates of execution and delivery of this Lease, Lessee shall
deliver, or shall have delivered, to Lessor, unconditional and irrevocable
Letters of Credit, in the amounts specified in Exhibit C hereto under the
heading "Deposit". The Letters of Credit are also herein referred to as the
"Security Letter of Credit". The Letters of Credit shall remain in full force
and effect during a period commencing on the date of delivery of the Letter of
Credit and ending on the Required LC Expiry Date. If Lessee fails to pay Rent
hereunder or to pay any other sums due or to perform any of the other terms and
provisions of this Lease or any document delivered pursuant hereto or is
otherwise in Default hereunder, in addition to all other rights Lessor may have
under law or hereunder, Lessor may draw upon all or a portion of the amounts of
the Security Letters of Credit and may use, apply or retain all or any portion
of the funds paid pursuant to the Security Letters of Credit in partial payment
for sums due to Lessor by Lessee, to compensate Lessor for any sums it may in
its discretion advance as a result of a Default by Lessee, or to apply toward
losses or expenses Lessor may suffer or incur as a result of Lessee's Default
hereunder. If Lessor draws upon all or any portion of the Security Letters of
Credit, such application shall not be deemed a cure of any Default, and within
ten (10) days after written demand therefor, Lessee shall cause each of the

                                       56

<PAGE>

Security Letters of Credit to be reinstated to the original amounts thereof or
cause replacement Letters of Credit to be issued in the original amounts of the
Security Letters of Credit and the failure of Lessee to do so shall be a
material breach of this Lease by Lessee.

     (j) Security Deposit. In the event that any portion of the Security Letters
of Credit pursuant to the terms of Section 20(i) above are posted in cash on or
after the Delivery Date, such cash Security Deposit shall be non-refundable
during the term of the Lease, unless and until such time as Lessee provides
Lessor a Security Letter of Credit in the amount of such cash Security Deposit.
If Lessee fails to pay Rent hereunder or to pay any other sums due or to perform
any of the other terms and provisions of this Lease or any document delivered
pursuant hereto or is otherwise in Default hereunder, in addition to all other
rights Lessor may have under law or under this Lease, Lessor may draw upon all
or a portion of the amount of the cash Security Deposit and may use, apply or
retain all or any portion of the funds drawn in partial payment for sums due to
Lessor by Lessee, to compensate Lessor for any sums it may in its discretion
advance as a result of a Default by Lessee, or to apply toward losses or
expenses Lessor may suffer or incur as a result of Lessee's Default under this
Lease. If Lessor draws upon all or any portion of the cash Security Deposit,
such application shall not be deemed a cure of any default, and within five (5)
days after written demand therefor, Lessee shall cause such Security Deposit to
be reinstated to the original amount thereof and the failure to do so shall be a
material breach of this Lease by Lessee. Provided Lessee is not then in default
of its obligations under this Lease, such Security Deposit shall be returned to
Lessee upon termination of this Lease.

     (k) Transaction Costs. Lessor and Lessee shall each be responsible for its
own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation
and delivery of this Lease and any other documents or instruments delivered in
connection herewith and the transactions contemplated hereby except as otherwise
expressly set forth herein. However, Lessee shall be responsible for all costs
associated with perfecting the lease in the Country of Registration (and such
other filings as may be required pursuant to Section 15 hereof), including (but
not limited to) the provision of legal advice and opinions (excluding the fees
and expenses of Lessor's Panamanian or other local counsel for the initial
perfection of the Lease), stamp duties, translations and registrations, whether
required by Lessor or Lessee. Lessee shall also be responsible for all
reasonable costs incurred by Lessor in connection with the enforcement or
preservation of Lessor's (and Owner's) rights under the Lease (including the
fees and expenses of Lessor' Panamanian or other outside local counsel), other
than registration of mortgages or liens on the Aircraft initiated by Owner or
Lessor.

     (l) Time is of the Essence. The time stipulated in this Agreement (without
prejudice to any grace periods specified in Section 17) for all payments payable
by Lessee and Lessor and the prompt, punctual performance of Lessee's or
Lessor's other obligations under this Agreement are of the essence of this
Agreement.

                                       57

<PAGE>

     (m) Disclaimer of Consequential Damages. LESSEE AND LESSOR EACH AGREE THAT
IT SHALL NOT BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER, AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT
THAT IT MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO RECOVER, CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES AS SUCH TERM IS
DEFINED IN SECTION 2-A-520 OF THE NEW YORK UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE AS A RESULT
OF ANY BREACH OR ALLEGED BREACH OF ANY OF THE AGREEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS OR
WARRANTIES MADE BY IT CONTAINED IN THIS LEASE.

     (n) Agent for Service of Process. Without prejudice to any other mode of
service, Lessee:

     (i)  appoints Greenberg, Traurig, et al. 200 Park Avenue, New York, New
          York 10019 as its agent for service of process relating to any
          proceedings before the New York courts in connection with this Lease
          and agrees to maintain the process agent in New York notified to
          Lessor;

     (ii) agrees that failure by a process agent to notify Lessee of the process
          shall not invalidate the proceedings concerned; and

     (iii) consents to the service of process relating to any such proceedings
          by prepaid mailing of a copy of the process to Lessee's agent at the
          address identified in clause (i) above or by prepaid mailing by air
          mail, certified or registered mail of a copy of the process to Lessee
          at the address set forth in Exhibit C of this Lease.

     (o) Entire Agreement; Modification or Revision. This Lease, which shall be
deemed to include Lease Supplement No. 1 when signed and delivered by Lessor and
Lessee, and Letter Agreement No. 1 are intended to be a complete and exclusive
statement of the terms of the agreement of the parties hereto, and this Lease
and Letter Agreement No. 1 supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements,
whether oral or in writing. Neither this Lease, Letter Agreement No. 1, nor any
term of this Lease or Letter Agreement No. 1 may be modified, rescinded,
changed, waived, discharged or terminated except by a writing signed by the
party to be charged. Lessor and Lessee acknowledge their agreement to the
provision of this Section 20(o) by their initials below.

3.   AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES COST SHARING.

     Notwithstanding any provisions of the Lease which would require the Lessee,
     at its expense, to comply with ADs by making repairs, alterations or
     modifications to the Aircraft to accomplish terminating action of the ADs,
     in the event that Lessee's actual cost, without mark-up, of compliance with
     an AD for the Aircraft exceeds **Material Redacted**, Lessor will reimburse
     Lessee a portion of such cost in excess of such **Material Redacted** as
     determined by the formula:

                   R = [C - **Material Redacted**] x [ 1 - (N-M)/ **Material
                       Redacted**]

          where:   R = Amount to be reimbursed by Lessor to Lessee

                   C = Lessee's actual cost, without mark-up, of modifying the
                       Aircraft to comply with the AD; and

                   M = the month of the Lease Term in which the AD modification
                       is completed.

                   N = the number of months in the Term (or the Term as extended
                       upon Lessee's exercise of Renewal Options hereunder but
                       in no event shall it be less than **Material Redacted**).

     Following completion of any such modification work, Lessee shall provide
     Lessor with a written notice signed by an officer or management employee of
     Lessee specifying the modifications completed, the cost thereof and the
     amount to be reimbursed by Lessor hereunder and certifying that at the date
     of such notice no Default arising from Lessee's failure to pay any amounts
     due or owing under the Lease when due and no Event of Default had occurred
     and was continuing. Lessee shall provide Lessor with such additional
     information as Lessor may reasonably request to verify that such
     modifications have been completed and the cost thereof. Within thirty days
     following Lessor's verification of the modification work, cost thereof and
     calculation of the amount of reimbursement owing to Lessee hereunder and
     providing no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, Lessor
     shall remit to Lessee the amount owing to Lessee hereunder.

4.   MAINTENANCE PAYMENTS AT REDELIVERY: Upon redelivery of the Aircraft to
     Lessor on the Return Occasion but not after the occurrence of a Casualty
     Occurrence with respect to the Aircraft, and independent of the redelivery
     conditions required by Exhibit E to the Lease Agreement, maintenance
     payments shall be made in accordance with the following:

                                       C-4

<PAGE>

     (a)  The Airframe shall be returned with 80% of the time remaining until
          next scheduled D-check or equivalent as specified in the Maintenance
          Program.

     (b)  Each Engine shall be returned with 80% of the time remaining until
          next heavy maintenance visit as determined by the expected life
          remaining based on industry standard mean time between removals for
          heavy maintenance as reported by the Engine Manufacturer.

     (c)  Each Engine shall be returned with 80% of the time remaining until
          next scheduled removal on each LLP installed in each engine as
          specified in the Maintenance Program.

     (d)  Each Landing Gear shall be returned with 80% of the time remaining
          until next scheduled overhaul as specified in the Maintenance Program.

     (e)  Each APU shall be returned with 80% of the time remaining until next
          heavy maintenance visit as determined by the expected life remaining
          based on industry standard mean time between removals for heavy
          maintenance as reported by the APU manufacturer.

     (f)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an item of equipment is returned
          with fewer hours remaining than specified above, Lessee will pay
          Lessor for each hour/cycle below 80% of the time remaining. The per
          hour cost shall be determined by dividing Lessee's average cost for
          performing the specified maintenance or, in the case of LLPs, the
          actual purchase cost on the item divided by the interval between
          maintenance events or, in the case of LLPs, the life limit, as
          specified above.

     (g)  If an item of equipment is returned with more hours remaining than
          specified above, Lessee will be entitled to a credit, for each hour
          above 80% of the time remaining, that can be used to offset any
          payments required above for the Aircraft or any other Aircraft leased
          by Lessee from Lessor. The per hour cost shall be determined by
          dividing Lessee's average cost for performing the specified
          maintenance or, in the case of LLPs, the actual purchase cost on the
          item divided by the interval between maintenance events or, in the
          case of LLPs, the life limit, as specified above.

     In the event that Lessee's average cost as determined in sub-paragraphs 19
     (f) and (g) above is based upon insufficient Lessee experience as
     reasonably determined by Lessor, than the average of quotes by three
     independent FAA repair stations to perform such maintenance shall be used
     in such sub-paragraphs in lieu thereof.

                            Aircraft Lease Agreement

                          RETURN CONDITION REQUIREMENTS

     In addition to the requirements set forth in Section 16 of the Lease, on or
before the Expiration Date, Lessee, at its own expense, shall return the
Aircraft in compliance with all of the following provisions:

     (1) The Aircraft shall have theretofore been maintained in accordance with
Section 6(d) of the Lease with the same care and consideration for the technical
condition of the Aircraft as if it were to have been kept in continued regular
service by Lessee.

     (2) The Aircraft shall be clean by commercial airline standards. The
cockpit shall be "touched-up" as reasonably required in accordance with standard
international airline practice and placards replaced as reasonably required, but
without requiring removal of panels or instruments.

     (3) The Aircraft shall have installed the full complement of Engines (as
used herein the term "Engines" includes engines for which title will be
transferred to Lessor pursuant to Section 16(c) of the Lease) and other
equipment, parts, components, accessories, furnishings and loose equipment as
when originally delivered to Lessee (excluding leased equipment) and as should
remain installed on the Aircraft were Lessee to continue operating the same in
continued regular service, each such item properly functioning in accordance
with its intended use.

     (4) The Aircraft shall comply with FAR Part 129, all outstanding DAC
Regulations and Airworthiness Directives issued by the FAA affecting such model
aircraft which by their terms require compliance on or before ninety (90) days
after the Expiration Date of this Lease.

     (5) The Aircraft shall have a current and valid DAC Certificate of
Airworthiness, or at Lessor's request an export certificate of airworthiness
issued by DAC. Lessee will permanently repair any damage to the Aircraft that
exceeds the DAC's or manufacturer's limits for operation without restrictions.

     (6) The Aircraft shall be in as good operating condition as when delivered
to Lessee hereunder, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

     (7) Lessee's distinctive markings, such as name, logo and stripes, shall be
removed from the Aircraft in a workmanlike manner in accordance with standard
industry practice and the Aircraft shall be re-painted all white.

     (8) The Aircraft shall have the same amount of fuel as it had on the
Technical Acceptance Date, but if it has a lesser amount, then the Lessee shall
pay to the Lessor on the Return Occasion an amount which equals the current
market price for Aircraft jet fuel times the

                                       E-1

<PAGE>

amount by which the quantity of fuel on the Technical Acceptance Date exceeds
the amount of fuel on the Return Occasion.

     (9) The Aircraft will meet the requirements of FAA regulations found at
Part 36, Appendix C, Stage 3 noise compliance as then in effect without waiver
or restriction.

     (10) Lessee shall adhere strictly to the corrosion prevention and treatment
cards as prescribed in the Maintenance Program.

     (11) The Aircraft, except as otherwise provided in the Lease, Letter
Agreement No. 1, or as consented to by Lessor, shall be in substantially the
same configuration (including, but not limited to, interior seating
configuration, galleys and lavatories) as when the Aircraft was originally
delivered to Lessee hereunder.

     (12) Neither the Aircraft nor any Engine shall have any open, deferred,
continued, carry over or placarded log book items.

     (13) At the end of the Term of the Lease, Lessee, at its expense, shall
obtain an Export Certificate of Airworthiness for the Aircraft issued by the
DAC, if available from DAC.

     (14) The Aircraft shall receive a complete block "C" Check (or its
equivalent), including all phases and multiples and structural inspections as
are normally part of such check immediately prior to the Return Occasion in
accordance with Lessee's DAC approved Maintenance Program, with all deficiencies
corrected.

     (15) Return of Engines

          (a) Each Engine (including, without limitation, burner cans) shall
have just completed a hot and cold section borescope inspection (which
inspection Lessee shall cause to be recorded on videotape and shall provide a
copy of such videotape to Lessor on the Return Occasion), and a power assurance
shall have been run in accordance with the Maintenance Program or the
manufacturer's maintenance manual and any defects discovered in such inspection
exceeding manufacturer's in service limits for normal operations shall be
corrected at Lessee's expense. Both the borescopes and the power assurance runs
shall take place at the Return Location.

          (b) No Engine shall be on "Watch" for excessive oil consumption, high
Exhaust Gas Temperature or any special or out of sequence inspection and each
such Engine shall comply with the operations specification of Lessee.

          (c) No Engine will have less than 3,500 Engine flight hours and 2,500
Engine cycles (3,000 Engine flight hours and 2,000 Engine cycles if the Aircraft
is returned at the end of second or third Renewal Term) of expected life
remaining to the next scheduled removal. The expected life remaining will be
determined in accordance with this Lease by review of the Engine LLP records and
the borescope inspection and power assurance run referred to in subparagraph (a)
above.

                                       E-2

     Re:   Compania Panamena de Aviacion, S.A.
           Lease of New Boeing Model 737-700
           Aircraft Manufacturer's Serial No. 30049

Dear Sirs:

          We act as counsel for Compania Panamena de Aviacion, S.A., a company
organized under the laws of Panama (the "Lessee") and have reviewed (i) an
Aircraft Lease Agreement dated as of November 18, 1998 (the "Lease") between the
Lessee and Aviation Financial Services Inc. (the "Lessor"), together with Lease
Supplement No. 1 thereto dated the Delivery Date between the Lessee and the
Lessor and Letter Agreement No. 1 dated as of November 18, 1998 between the same
parties (collectively, the "Lease"). Except as otherwise defined herein,
capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Lease.

          You have requested us to render an opinion in connection with the
transactions governed by the Lease. We have examined originals or copies,
certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents,
corporate records and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable
for the purpose of rendering this opinion. We have assumed the genuineness of
all signatures and the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as
originals and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to
us as copies or facsimiles.

          Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

     1. The Lessee is a company duly organized and validly existing in good
standing under the laws of Panama, is duly qualified to hold property and to
transact business as an air carrier under the laws of Panama and is duly
qualified to carry on business in each jurisdiction in which it conducts
business, has full power and authority to carry on its business as presently
conducted, to hold and operate property under lease and to enter into and to
perform its obligations under the Lease and each other document related thereto
to which the Lessee is a

                                      F-1-1

<PAGE>

party.

     2. The execution, delivery and performance by the Lessee of the Lease have
been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the
Lessee, do not require any approval of the shareholders of the Lessee or consent
of any or holder of any indebtedness or obligation of the Lessee, and the
execution and delivery of the Lease, the consummation of the transactions
contemplated therein, and compliance by the Lessee with the terms and provisions
thereof, do not contravene any law applicable to the Lessee, or result in the
breach of, or constitute any default under, or result in the creation of any
lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property of the Lessee under any credit
agreement or instrument, corporate charter or bylaw or other agreement to which
the Lessee is a party or by which the Lessee or its properties or assets are
bound or affected.

     3. The Lessee received every consent, license, approval or authorization
of, and exemption by, and gave every notice to, each Governmental Entity having
jurisdiction with respect to the execution, delivery and performance of the
Lease (including all monetary and other obligations thereunder) that is required
for the Lessee to execute and deliver the Lease and to perform the transactions
contemplated thereby and each such consent, license, approval, authorization and
exemption is valid and effective and has not been revoked or rescinded.

     4. The Lease has been duly executed and delivered by the Lessee and
constitutes the legal, valid and binding agreement of the Lessee enforceable
against the Lessee in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement thereof
may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally,
and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability
is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) as a court having
jurisdiction may impose and by laws which may affect some of the remedies
provided therein but which do not make the available remedies inadequate for the
substantial realization of the benefits intended to be provided therein.

     5. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to our best
knowledge after due inquiry, threatened against or affecting the Lessee in any
court or before any regulatory commission, arbitrator, board or other
administrative Governmental Entity which, if adversely determined to the Lessee,
could have a material adverse effect on the current business or financial
conditions of the Lessee or on the ability of the Lessee to perform its
obligations under the Lease.

     6. The Lessee is not in default under any indenture, mortgage, loan
agreement or lease agreement of which we have knowledge and to which the Lessee
is now a parry or by which it is bound nor is the Lessee in default under any
other agreement or instrument of a material nature of which we have knowledge
and to which the Lessee is now a party or by which it is bound; nor to our
knowledge is the Lessee in violation of any law, order, injunction, decree, rule
or regulation applicable to the Lessee of any court or administrative body,
which violation could materially and adversely affect the business, property or
assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise, of the Lessee; and no
event has occurred and is continuing which, under the provisions of any such
indenture, mortgage, loan agreement or lease agreement, with the

                                      F-1-2

<PAGE>

lapse of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default
thereunder.

     7. There is no Tax (whether payable by withholding or deduction and
including, without limitation, monetary transfer fees, or similar taxes and
charges) (i) on or by virtue of the execution, delivery, performance or
enforcement of the Lease, or any other document furnished or contemplated to be
furnished thereunder, or (ii) to be deducted or withheld from any payment to be
made by the Lessee pursuant to the Lease.

     8. The obligations of the Lessee under the Lease rank at least equally and
ratably (pari passu) in all respects with all other unsecured obligations of the
Lessee except for claims preferred by the laws of Panama. Such claims are
[____________].

     9. The Lessee is subject to private commercial laws and suit under the laws
of Panama and any other jurisdiction affecting the Lessee. The Lessee is not
entitled to sovereign immunity under the laws of Panama or any such other
jurisdiction, and neither the Lessee nor any of its respective properties or
assets have the right of immunity from suit or jurisdiction of any court or from
any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to
judgment, attachment in aid of execution or otherwise) on the grounds of
sovereign immunity in Panama, the United States or any other jurisdiction.

     10. The choice of New York law to govern the Lease will be upheld as a
valid choice of law in any action in the courts of Panama.

     11. The consent of the Lessee to the jurisdiction of the courts referred to
in Section 20(b) of the Lease is valid and binding upon the Lessee and not
subject to revocation. If any action in respect of the Lease were brought in a
court of Panama, such court would apply the law of the State of New York.

     12. Any judgment or order given by a Federal State or local court in New
York under the Lease may be enforced in Panama by suit on the judgment, and
would be recognized and accepted by the courts of Panama and would be
enforceable by the courts of Panama without re-trial or examination of the
merits of the original action, provided that any such courts have taken the
necessary procedural and service of process required by Panamanian law and said
judgment is not considered against public policy.

     13. No stamp or registration or similar taxes or charges are payable in
Panama in respect of the execution or performance of the Lease or the
enforcement thereof in the courts of Panama other than [____________].

     14. Except for compliance with the requirements set forth in Paragraph 15
hereof, and the placing on the Aircraft and on each Engine of the plates
containing the legends referred to in Section 6(f) of the Lease, no further
filing, recording or notarization of the Lease or of any other document, and no
further action is necessary or advisable(including without limitation the filing
or recording of the Head Lease with the DAC or any other Governmental Entity in
Panama), under the laws of any Governmental Entity in order to (a) fully
establish and protect Alcyone FSC Corporation's title to, interest in and
property rights with respect to, and Lessor's leasehold

                                      F-1-3

<PAGE>

interests in, the Aircraft as against the Lessee or any third party and to
ensure that the property rights of Alcyone FSC Corporation and the Lessor
therein will have priority in all respects over the claims of all creditors of
the Lessee or (b) ensure the validity, effectiveness and enforceability of the
Lease and the practical realization of the benefits and rights intended to be
afforded thereby.

     15. The only filings, recordings, notarizations, or other actions that have
not been taken and in full force and effect on the date hereof which are
necessary or advisable to be taken under the laws of Panama in order to (i)
fully establish and protect the Owner's title to, and Owner's and Lessor's
interests in and property rights with respect to, the Aircraft as against the
Lessee or any third party and to ensure that the property rights of Owner and
Lessor therein which have priority in all respects over the claims of all
creditors of the Lessee, and (ii) ensure the validity, effectiveness and
enforceability of the Lease are (x) filing of the Lease (but not including
Letter Agreement No. 1) for recordation with the DAC, (y) due registration of
the Aircraft with the DAC in Panama and (z) recordation of the Owner's title to
the Aircraft with the Aeronautics Section of the Public Registry of Panama. We
know of no reason such recordations and registration should not be timely
accomplished.

     16. The Aircraft will be duly registered with the DAC, in the name of
Alcyone FSC Corporation as owner and Lessor as lessor and in the name of Lessee
as lessee and operator once it is imported into Panama.

     17. Lessee is a licensed air carrier under the laws of Panama. The Lessee
is qualified to operate the Aircraft in passenger and cargo revenue service to,
from and within Panama.

     18. The irrevocable instrument appointing Lessor or its agents as
attorney-in-fact for Lessee to take all necessary actions on behalf of Lessee to
remove the Aircraft (i) from the jurisdiction of Panama and (ii) from the
registry of Panama upon termination of the Lease has been duly executed and
delivered by Lessee and is irrevocable, legal, valid and effective under the
laws of Panama to permit Lessor to so remove the Aircraft from the jurisdiction
and registry of Panama.

     19. On the termination of the Lease (whether by expiration of the Term or
otherwise) as contemplated in the Lease, the Lessor will be entitled (i) to
repossess the Aircraft, (ii) to deregister the Aircraft from the Register of
Panama and (iii) to export the Aircraft from Panama, all without requiring any
further consents, approvals or licenses from, and without requiring the posting
of any security with, any Governmental Entity of Panama. If the export is not
permitted or if deregistration of the Aircraft shall not be effected by the DAC,
the Lessor has an adequate remedy at law to cause a prompt deregistration and to
cause prompt issuance of any necessary export license without any posting of
security.

     20. The Lessor is not required to qualify to do business under the laws of
Panama or any political subdivision thereof as a condition to, and the failure
so to qualify does not affect, the exercise by it of any right, privilege or
remedy accorded it under the Lease, or any other document delivered in
connection therewith or the enforcement of such right, privilege or remedy.
Neither the execution and delivery of, nor the performance by the Lessee of any
action

                                      F-1-4

<PAGE>

required under any of the Lease or any document delivered in connection
therewith, nor the exercise of remedies thereunder will result in any tax
liability to Lessor pursuant to the laws of Panama or any political subdivision
thereof or tax authority therein.

     21. The Lessor, either in connection with the exercise of any rights or
remedies available to it under the Lease, or any document delivered in
connection therewith, or as the result of its interest in the Aircraft or as a
result of receiving performance under the Lease, or any document delivered in
connection therewith, shall not be deemed to have set up a permanent
establishment in Panama under any applicable law of Panama relating to any Tax.

     We do not purport to be experts on and do not purport to be generally
familiar with or qualified to express legal opinions based on any law other than
the laws of Panama and, accordingly, express no legal opinion herein based upon
any other laws.

                                        Yours very truly,

           Aircraft Manufacturer's Serial No. 30049

Dear Sirs:

     We have acted as special Panamanian counsel at the request of Compania
Panamena de Aviacion, S.A., a company organized under the laws of Panama (the
"Lessee") in connection with the lease of one new Boeing Model 737-700 (Serial
No. 30049) to Lessee. In rendering this opinion we have reviewed an Aircraft
Lease Agreement dated as of November 18, 1998 (the "Lease") between the Lessee
and Aviation Financial Services Inc. (the "Lessor"), together with Lease
Supplement No. 1 thereto dated the Delivery Date between the Lessee and the
Lessor and Letter Agreement No. 1 dated as of November 18, 1998 between the same
parties (collectively, the "Lease"). Except as otherwise defined herein,
capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Lease.

     We have been requested to render an opinion relating to the recordation of
the Head Lease and the Lease as hereinafter described and the registration of
the Aircraft with the DAC. We have examined originals or copies, certified or
otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, records and other
instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of
rendering this opinion. More specifically we have examined the governmental
consents, licenses, approvals, authorizations and exemptions listed on Schedule
1 hereto. We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures and the authenticity
of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to original
documents of all documents submitted to us as copies or facsimiles.

                                      F-2-1

<PAGE>

     Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

     1. The Lease (but not including Confidential Exhibit C or Letter Agreement
No. 1) and any other documents necessary or advisable to be recorded have been
duly recorded by the DAC and Owner's title to the Aircraft has been recorded
with the Aeronautics Section of the Public Register in Panama.

     2. It is neither necessary nor advisable to file or record the Head Lease
with the DAC or any other Governmental Entity in Panama for the Lease to be
fully enforceable in accordance with its terms in the courts of Panama and in
order to (a) fully establish and protect Alcyone FSC Corporation's title to,
interest in and property rights with respect to, and Lessor's leasehold
interests in, the Aircraft as against the Lessee or any third party and to
ensure that the property rights of Alcyone FSC Corporation and the Lessor
therein will have priority in all respects over the claims of all creditors of
the Lessee or (b) ensure the validity, effectiveness and enforceability of the
Lease and the practical realization of the benefits and rights intended to be
afforded thereby.

     3. The Aircraft has been duly registered with the Direccion General de
Aeronautica Civil of Panama in the name of Alcyone FSC Corporation as owner and
Lessor as lessor and in the name of Lessee as lessee and operator with
registration no. ________ on _________, ___________.

     4. Once validly registered, the DAC will not cause or permit deregistration
of the Aircraft without prior consent of Lessor.

     5. Lessee is a licensed air carrier under the laws of Panama under a permit
issued to the Lessee by the DAC with the type and number of the Aircraft duly
endorsed thereon, and the Lessee is qualified to operate the Aircraft in
passenger and cargo revenue service to, from and within Panama.

     We hereby confirm the opinions set forth in paragraphs 14 and 15 of our
opinion letter to you dated _______________, _____, in each case without
exception or qualification.

     We do not purport to be experts on and do not purport to be generally
familiar with or qualified to express legal opinions based on any law other than
the laws of Panama and, accordingly, express no legal opinion herein based upon
any other laws.

                                        Yours very truly,

                                      F-2-2
