             (i) LESSOR acknowledges receipt from LESSEE on June 5, 1996 of
        Seventy Five Thousand(US$75,000) Dollars (such amount is hereinafter
        referred to as the Initial Deposit); and

             (ii) LESSEE shall pay to LESSOR, on the Effective Date, One Hundred
        Sixty Five Thousand (US$165,000) Dollars.

The Security Deposit shall be paid by LESSEE to LESSOR when due to the
following account:

                  LGT Bank in Liechtenstein AG
                  Herrengasse 12
                  9490 Vaduz, Liechtenstein
                  Account No.: 113 451 5-10 333 01
                  For the account of Jetz Ventures Inc.
                  Reference: Diamond Head Associates/Aloha

        The Security Deposit, if in cash, shall be held by LESSOR (or Lender) in
an interest bearing account. Upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of
Default hereunder, LESSOR may use all or any part of the Security Deposit,
together with all interest accrued thereon, in the manner provided for in this

Default has occurred and is continuing, and the Aircraft and

<PAGE>

                                                                              14

Aircraft Documents have been returned by LESSEE to LESSOR in accordance
with the provisions hereof, LESSOR shall return the Security Deposit then held
by LESSOR, together with all interest accrued thereon (if the Security Deposit
has been held in the form of cash), to LESSEE, to such account as LESSEE shall
designate to LESSOR in writing.

        In lieu of a cash Security Deposit, LESSEE may post an irrevocable
standby letter of credit (the "Letter of Credit") in the full amount of the
Security Deposit. Any Letter of Credit issued by LESSEE to LESSOR shall be in
form and substance satisfactory to LESSOR and Lender (the form and substance of
which shall be submitted to LESSOR for approval not less than four (4) Business
Days prior to the Effective Date), shall be issued and/or confirmed by a bank
acceptable to LESSOR and Lender, shall be renewed not less than thirty (30) days
prior to the stated expiration date thereof, shall remain in full force and
effect for not less than a one year period of time following the Expiration Date
and shall be drawable in either New York, New York or San Francisco, California.

        In the event LESSEE delivers a Letter of Credit to LESSOR on the
Effective Date as and for the Security Deposit, LESSOR shall apply the Initial
Deposit in partial payment of the first month's payment of Basic Rent that is
due on the Effective Date.

        In the event LESSOR has drawn any part of the Security Deposit in
accordance with the terms of this Lease, LESSEE shall as promptly as practicable
supplement the Security Deposit so that at all times during the Base Term the
Security Deposit (whether in the form of cash or Letter of Credit) shall be
equal to Two Hundred Forty Thousand (US$240,000) Dollars.

        (E) MAINTENANCE RESERVE. Provided AirGroup meets the Credit Standards,
then LESSEE shall not be required to pay Reserves for any period for which
Reserves would otherwise be payable, as provided below. AirGroup shall be deemed
to have satisfied the Credit Standards provided AirGroup maintains (1) a Fixed
Charges Coverage Ratio equal to not less than 1.05, calculated on a rolling
twelve month basis and (2) a minimum tangible net worth (tangible net worth
being determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,
consistently applied) of $4,000,000, calculated on a rolling twelve month basis
and computed at the end of each calendar quarter, with the first computation
being made as of the calendar quarter ending March 31, 1997.

        Commencing as of the calendar quarter ending March 31, 1997, and for
each calendar quarter thereafter (each such date a "Review Date") during the
Base Term, if LESSEE failed to meet the Credit Standards as calculated on a
rolling twelve month basis, LESSEE shall pay to LESSOR Reserves on account of
the operation for the Aircraft for each subsequent month following the Review
Date on which it was determined that LESSEE failed to meet the Credit Standards
up through and including the next Review Date on which it is determined that
LESSEE meets the Credit Standards, in an amount equal to Two Hundred Forty Five
(US$245.00) Dollars per each Flight

Hour incurred on the Aircraft in the previous calendar month, which
amount shall be allocated at Seventy Five (US$75.00) Dollars per Flight Hour for
the Airframe (the "Airframe Reserve"), Seventy (US$70.00) Dollars per Engine for
each Engine Flight Hour (the "Engine Reserve"), Twenty ($20.00) Dollars per
Flight Hour for the landing gear (the "Landing Gear Reserve") and Ten ($10.00)
Dollars per Flight Hour for the APU (the "APU Reserve") (each a "Reserve" and
collectively, the "Reserves"). All Reserves to be paid by LESSEE to LESSOR shall
be paid in arrears, not later than ten (10) days following the last day of the
month for which the Reserves payment was calculated except the Reserve payment
for the month immediately preceding the date of the Return Occassion (as defined
in Section 17(A)) shall be paid on the date of the Return Occassion. All
Reserves paid by LESSEE to LESSOR will be held by LESSOR (or Lender) and shall
be disbursed by LESSOR (or LESSOR shall cause the same to be disbursed) only to
pay for Covered Maintenance pursuant to Section 7(D) hereof.

        (F) NET LEASE, LESSEE'S OBLIGATIONS; NO SETOFF; COUNTERCLAIM, ETC. This
is a net operating lease. It is the intent of the parties hereto that this Lease
be a "true lease" and a lease for United States federal income tax purposes.
LESSEE acknowledges and agrees that it has no interest herein other than that of
a lessee. Except as otherwise provided herein, LESSEE's obligation to pay all
Rent payable hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be
affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, (i) any
Taxes (other than Taxes applicable to said Rent for which LESSEE has no
indemnification obligation under Section 11 hereof), any setoff, counterclaim,
recoupment, defense or other right which LESSEE may have against LESSOR; (ii)
any defect in the title, airworthiness, condition, design, operation or fitness
for use of, or any damage to or loss or destruction of, the Aircraft, Airframe
or any Engine, or any interruption or cessation in the use or possession thereof
by LESSEE for any reason whatsoever; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy,
reorganization or similar proceedings by or against LESSEE; (iv) any
restriction, prevention or curtailment of, or interference with, any use of the
Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine; (v) any invalidity or unenforceability or
disaffirmance of this Lease or any provision hereof, whether against or by
LESSEE or otherwise; or (vi) any other circumstance, happening or event
whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. The foregoing
provisions shall not be construed as a waiver by LESSEE of any right to bring a
separate action against LESSOR to recover amounts allegedly due from LESSOR to
LESSEE.

        AND IS EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

        (B) MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTIES. So long as no Event of Default under this
Lease has occurred and is continuing, LESSOR agrees to assign or otherwise make
available to LESSEE such rights as LESSOR may have, if any, under any warranty,
express or implied, with respect to the Aircraft made by the Manufacturer,
Engine Manufacturer, any subcontractor or supplier thereof, to the extent that
the same may be assigned or otherwise made available to LESSEE and, to the
extent that the same may not be assigned or otherwise made available to LESSEE,
LESSOR agrees to exert its reasonable efforts, at LESSEE's sole cost and
expense, to enforce such rights as LESSOR may have with respect thereto for the
benefit of LESSEE; provided, however, that upon an Event of Default all such

businesses and for LESSEE to perform its obligations under this Lease;

        (17) Neither the financial statements of AirGroup nor any other material
document furnished by or on behalf of LESSEE or AirGroup to LESSOR or Lender in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby contains any untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make
the statements contained in this Lease not misleading. LESSEE knows of no fact
that materially adversely affects or, so far as LESSEE can now reasonably
foresee, will materially adversely affect the business, financial condition,
operations or properties of LESSEE or the ability of LESSEE to perform its
obligations under the Lease Documents; and

        (18) AirGroup owns one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and
outstanding stock of LESSEE.

        (D) NOTIFICATION. During the Term of this Lease, at the end of each
calendar quarter, LESSEE shall send an officer's certificate to LESSOR and
Lender notifying them of any condition that materially changes the content of
any of the representations and warranties made as of the Effective Date under
Section 6(C) hereof or certifying that there has been no such change.

                                    SECTION 7

              POSSESSION, USE, MAINTENANCE, TITLE AND REGISTRATION

        (A) POSSESSION. Except as expressly provided in Subsection 8(B) and
Section 22, LESSEE shall not transfer possession of the Aircraft or any Engine
or part thereof to any Person without the prior written consent of LESSOR, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided that, so long as no Default
or Event of Default or event which would constitute an

<PAGE>

                                                                              20

Event of Default with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, shall
have occurred and be continuing and so long as LESSEE shall comply with the
provisions of Section 13 hereof, LESSEE may, so long as the action to be
taken shall not deprive LESSOR of its title to and interest in the Aircraft,
the Airframe or any Engine and shall not adversely affect the registration of
the Aircraft under the Laws of the United States, without the prior written
consent of LESSOR, deliver possession of the Aircraft, the Airframe or any
Engine or other Part thereof to the Manufacturer, the Engine Manufacturer or
Authorized Maintenance Performer, as appropriate, for testing, service,
repair, maintenance or overhaul work on the Aircraft, the Airframe, any
Engine or Part, or for alterations, modifications, or additions thereto, to
the extent required or permitted by the terms of Subsection 7(D) hereof.

        (B) USE. LESSEE shall use the Aircraft solely in commercial passenger
carrying operations in accordance with all Laws applicable to it and shall not
use or permit the Aircraft to be used for any purpose for which the Aircraft is
not designed or reasonably suited. LESSEE shall not use or permit the use of
the Aircraft for the carriage of (i) whole animals, living or dead, except in
cargo compartments according to International Air Transport Association
("I.A.T.A.") regulations and except domestic pet animals carried in suitable
containers to prevent the escape of any fluids and to ensure the welfare of the
animal, (ii) acids, toxic chemicals, other corrosive materials, explosives,
nuclear fuels, nuclear wastes or any other nuclear assemblies except as
permitted for passenger aircraft under the "Restriction of Goods" schedule
issued by I.A.T.A. from time to time, or (iii) any other goods, materials or
items of cargo that would not be adequately covered by the insurance required or
obtained pursuant to this Lease.

        (C) LAWFUL INSURED OPERATIONS. LESSEE shall not permit the Aircraft to
be maintained, used, or operated in violation of any Law of any Governmental
Entity having jurisdiction, or contrary to the Manufacturer's or Engine
Manufacturer's operating manuals and instructions, or in violation of any
airworthiness certificate, license, or registration relating to the Aircraft
issued by the FAA or any other Governmental Entity having jurisdiction, unless
the validity thereof is being contested in good faith and by appropriate
proceedings duly instituted and diligently prosecuted, but only so long as such
proceedings will not result in the sale, forfeiture, loss of valid insurance
coverage upon, or loss of, the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine or any Part.
LESSEE shall comply with the foregoing, at its sole cost and expense, and shall
maintain the Aircraft in proper condition for operation under such Laws. LESSEE
agrees not to operate the Aircraft, or to permit or suffer the Aircraft to be
operated, within or into any geographic area:

             (1) unless the Aircraft is at all such times covered by insurance
        as required by the provisions of Section 13 hereof;

             (2) contrary to the terms of such insurance as

<PAGE>

                                                                              21

        required by the provisions of Section 13 hereof; and

             (3) in violation of any Law, rule, order or regulation of any
        Governmental Entity.

LESSEE shall deliver to LESSOR such documents and assurances as LESSOR
may request under the provisions of Section 16 hereof to evidence compliance
with the foregoing.

        (D)  MAINTENANCE.

             (i) LESSEE, at its own cost and expense, shall:

                  (a) service, repair, maintain, overhaul, test, or cause the
        same to be done to the Aircraft so as to keep the Aircraft in as good
        operating condition as when delivered to LESSEE hereunder, ordinary wear
        and tear excepted, and such operating condition as required by the
        Maintenance Program and as may be necessary to enable the airworthiness
        certification of the Aircraft to be maintained in good standing at all
        times under the applicable rules and regulations of the FAA;

                  (b) perform all routine and non-routine services, checks and
        corrosion control and inspections, including any structural inspections
        requirements (SSID's) and "A", "B", "C" or "D" checks (or the equivalent
        thereof) required by the Maintenance Program, the Manufacturer or the
        Air Authority;

                  (c) maintain, in accordance with FAR Part 121, all records,
        logs and other materials required by applicable Laws of any Governmental
        Entity and the Air Authority to be maintained in respect of the
        Aircraft, including but not limited to serviceable component tags
        required by the Air Authority;

                  (d) throughout the Base Term of this Lease, at the end of each
        calendar quarter, provide LESSOR with a written projection of the next
        scheduled commencement date of each "C" or "D" check to be performed on
        the Aircraft and each scheduled engine overhaul and the location where
        such checks and overhauls are scheduled to be performed;

                  (e) designate representatives to coordinate with LESSOR or
        LESSOR's representatives on maintenance and warranty matters;

             (ii) All maintenance of the Aircraft and Engines shall be performed
by the Authorized Maintenance Performer.

             (iii) (A) "Covered Maintenance" means, at any time, the D check for
the Airframe, the scheduled heavy maintenance check or hot section inspection
for the engine, the scheduled overhaul for the landing gear and the scheduled
heavy maintenance check or hot section inspection for the APU, respectively,
pursuant to the

<PAGE>

                                                                              22

Maintenance Program. Excluded from Covered Maintenance shall be overhaul or
repairs caused by F.O.D, operational mishandling or by events that can be
insured against. The cost of Covered Maintenance shall be limited to the actual
cost of replacement parts plus the cost of the associated labor at LESSEE's
in-house labor rates if the work is performed by LESSEE, or at third-party costs
charged to LESSEE if the work is performed by third parties, and shall in no
event include, late charges, interest, mark-ups or premium charges by LESSEE or
other similar amounts.

                  (B) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, to the extent that LESSEE has paid Reserves pursuant to the terms of
this Lease and such Reserves have not previously been disbursed by LESSOR in
accordance with the terms hereof, the LESSOR shall pay to the LESSEE, within
five (5) Business Days after receipt of:

                      (a)   an Officer's Certificate stating:

                            (1) that Covered Maintenance has been performed on
             the Airframe, Engines, APU or landing gear, respectively, and the
             cost thereof, or

                            (2) that advance payments are required by a
             third-party Authorized Maintenance Performer under a contract
             covering any such work, and the amount of such payments; and

                      (b) appropriate documentation with respect to such
             work or payments,

an amount equal to the actual cost of such work or such advance payment, as the
case may be, up to the amount of Airframe Reserves for such Covered Maintenance
on the Airframe, up to the amount of Engine Reserves for such Covered
Maintenance on the Engines, up to the amount of APU Reserves for such Covered
Maintenance on the APU and up to the amount of the Landing Gear Reserves for
such Covered Maintenance on the landing gear; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) at no
time shall the amount of any Reserve to be made available by LESSOR for Covered
Maintenance exceed the aggregate amount remaining in such Reserve as of the date
the Covered Maintenance was completed, and (ii) all Reserves (including but not
limited to the Reserves for each Engine) shall be kept segregated and, except as
expressly provided below, LESSEE may only draw upon the Reserves specifically
allocated to the item on which Covered Maintenance was performed. Upon the
termination of this Lease for any reason whatsoever (including, without
limitation, the occurrence of an Event of Default), any amounts paid to LESSOR
as Reserves and not used to reimburse LESSEE for Covered Maintenance shall be
retained by LESSOR free and clear of any claim by LESSEE. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that LESSEE performs Covered Maintenance on the
Airframe, either Engine, the APU or the landing gear, as the case may be, in
order to meet, on the Expiration Date, the return conditions set forth herein,
and the allocated Reserve amount for such item is insufficient to pay in full
the cost of the Covered Maintenance for such item, then in such event, and only
in such

<PAGE>

                                                                              23

event, LESSEE shall be entitled to draw upon and receive from the other Reserves
then held by LESSOR, that amount equal to the difference between the cost of the
Covered Maintenance and the amount that was allocated in the Reserves for such
item. Further, in the case of a return of the Aircraft on the Expiration Date
where a financial adjustment is due to LESSOR with respect to an item where
Reserves have been paid, LESSEE may draw upon the Reserves then held by LESSOR
and use same toward satisfaction of such financial adjustment obligation.

             (f) LESSEE agrees that it will not discriminate against the
        Aircraft (as compared to other aircraft of the same type owned or
        operated by LESSEE) in the operation, use and performance of
        maintenance, including, but not limited to, in contemplation of the
        expiration or termination of this Lease with respect to the maintenance
        of the Aircraft (including, but not limited to, the substitution or
        replacements of Parts other than where the failure to replace Parts
        would result in LESSEE failing to meet the return conditions for the
        Aircraft set forth herein). The foregoing shall not be deemed to be a
        prohibition on LESSEE's withdrawing the Aircraft from revenue service in
        order to prepare the Aircraft for return to LESSOR upon the expiration
        or termination of this Lease nor shall the foregoing be deemed to expand
        LESSEE's obligations beyond those set forth in any specific return
        provision set forth herein.

       (E)   AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES; SERVICE BULLETINS.

             (i) If the FAA, the Air Authority, the Manufacturer or the
Engine Manufacturer, or the manufacturer of any Parts, publishes an
airworthiness directive, mandatory service bulletin or mandatory modification
after the commencement date of this Lease or already has published such
airworthiness directive, mandatory service bulletin or a mandatory
modification which modification is required to be completed or terminated
during the Base Term or at any time during the ninety (90) day period
following the end of the Base Term or the termination of this Lease, LESSEE
shall take all such action as is necessary to comply with such airworthiness
directive, mandatory service bulletin or mandatory modification prior to the
return of the Aircraft by LESSEE to LESSOR and shall, except as hereinafter
stated, bear the entire expense thereof. As an exception to the foregoing,
LESSOR agrees that it will reimburse LESSEE fifty percent (50%) of the cost
(labor and material at the cost actually incurred by LESSEE without premium,
mark-up, surcharge or interest expense) in excess of One Hundred Thousand
Dollars (US$100,000) for each airworthiness directive accomplished during the
last twenty four (24) months of the Base Term, and one hundred percent (100%)
of the costs for each airworthiness directive and service bulletin which are
accomplished by LESSEE and fall due within ninety (90) days after the
Expiration Date; provided, however, that LESSOR shall have no obligation to
reimburse LESSEE for airworthiness directives and service bulletins
accomplished by LESSEE and which fall due within ninety (90) days after the
Expiration Date unless LESSEE had prior to accomplishing

<PAGE>

                                                                              24

such airworthiness directive or service bulletin received written authorization
from LESSOR to accomplish same. LESSOR shall pay to LESSEE its share, if any, of
the cost of complying with airworthiness directives performed by LESSEE, within
ten (10) Business Days of receipt from LESSEE of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to LESSOR that the airworthiness directive has been fully and
satisfactorily complied with.

             (ii) LESSEE shall comply with all applicable mandatory service,
maintenance, repair and overhaul regulations, directives and instructions of the
FAA, the Air Authority, the Manufacturer, the Engine Manufacturer and the
manufacturer of all Parts and shall bear the entire expense thereof except as
provided in (ii) above.

        (F) TITLE, REGISTRATION, PERFECTION AND INSIGNIA. LESSEE acknowledges
and agrees that title to the Aircraft shall remain vested in LESSOR
during the Base Term in accordance with the terms of this Lease. The Aircraft
shall, at all times during the Base Term, be registered in the United States in
the name of LESSOR or such Person as LESSOR may designate, in accordance with
the Laws of United States. The interest of LESSOR's Lender in the Aircraft and
this Lease shall at all times during the Base Term be fully protected and
perfected. LESSEE agrees that it shall take no action which shall cause the
Aircraft to cease to be so registered in the name of LESSOR or cause the
interest of Lender to not be fully protected and perfected under the applicable
Laws of United States. Unless otherwise requested, within fifteen (15) days of
the Effective Date, LESSEE shall fasten or cause to be fastened in the cockpit,
in a location reasonably adjacent to and not less prominent than the
airworthiness certificate for such Aircraft and on each Engine, an insignia
plate supplied by LESSEE and in the form set forth in Exhibit "G" hereto or in
any other form subsequently designated by LESSOR to LESSEE.

        LESSEE will not allow the name of any Person to be placed on the
Aircraft or any Engine as a designation that might be interpreted as a claim of
ownership; provided, however, that LESSEE may cause the Aircraft to be lettered
in an appropriate manner for convenience of identification of the interest of
LESSEE therein, including but not limited to, the customary livery of LESSEE.

        (G) MAINTENANCE REPORTS AND RECORDS. During the Term, LESSEE shall:

                  (a) provide maintenance information and reporting requirements
        to LESSOR and any other party so designated by LESSOR including but not
        limited to: (i) written notification at the end of each calendar quarter
        with respect to the issuance during such calendar quarter of any
        airworthiness directive or service bulletin, and written notification,
        as promptly as possible, of any legal requirement materially affecting
        the use, operation or maintenance of the Aircraft, Airframe, Engines or
        Parts; (ii) quarterly written projections of scheduled Airframe, Engine,
        landing gear and APU heavy

<PAGE>

                                                                              25

        maintenance; (iii) prompt written notification of damage to the
        Aircraft, Airframe, Engines or Parts where the estimated cost of
        repair is in excess of $500,000; (iv) promptly upon the request of
        LESSOR, written notification of Engine removals, exchanges or foreign
        object damage (said report to include details of circumstances and plan
        of action to repair); (v) reports of Flight Hours and Cycles on a
        monthly basis; (vi) promptly upon the request of LESSOR, a report of all
        service bulletins completed; and (vii) promptly upon the request of
        LESSOR, copies of all material reports sent to the Air Authority or any
        other Governmental Entity concerning the Aircraft.

                  (b) LESSEE will, during the Base Term, maintain all records,
        logs and other materials required to be maintained with respect to the
        Aircraft by Persons in operational control of the Aircraft under any
        applicable rules, Laws or regulations and shall supply all such records,
        logs and other materials to LESSOR or third parties, as reasonably
        requested, as shall be necessary in order to implement the Maintenance
        Program and any and all warranties and guarantees that apply to the
        Aircraft. LESSEE will provide LESSOR with copies of all records of
        maintenance performed during the Base Term as requested by LESSOR. All
        such records shall be kept as required under the rules and regulations
        of the Air Authority and shall be maintained in English.

                                    SECTION 8

                       REPLACEMENT OF PARTS: ALTERATIONS,
                           MODIFICATIONS AND ADDITIONS

        (A) REPLACEMENT OF PARTS. Except as otherwise provided herein, LESSEE,
at its own cost and expense, shall promptly replace all Parts which may, from
time to time, be incorporated or installed in, or attached to, the Aircraft, the
Airframe or any Engine and be an accession thereto, and which may, from time to
time, become lost, stolen, seized, confiscated or unserviceable. In addition, in
the ordinary course of maintenance, service, repair, overhaul or testing, LESSEE
may remove any Parts, provided that LESSEE shall replace such Parts as promptly
as may be practicable. All replacement Parts shall be free and clear of all
Liens, except Permitted Liens, shall meet all requirements of the Air Authority,
and shall be in as good operating condition as, and have a value and utility at
least equal to, the Parts replaced, assuming such replaced Parts were maintained
in the condition required pursuant to the requirements of this Lease.

           All Parts owned by LESSOR at any time removed from the Aircraft shall
remain the property of LESSOR, 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, such Aircraft and which meet the requirements for replacement
Parts

                                       49
<PAGE>

                                                                              26

specified above. Immediately upon any replacement Parts becoming incorporated or
installed in or attached to the Aircraft as above provided, and without further
act:

                  (1) title to the removed Part shall vest in LESSEE, free and
        clear of all rights of LESSOR and LESSOR Liens;

                  (2) title to the replacement Parts shall vest in LESSOR, free
        and clear of all rights of third parties, including, but not limited to,
        LESSEE; and

                  (3) such replacement Parts shall become subject to this Lease
        and shall be deemed part of the Aircraft into which such Parts were
        incorporated or with respect to which such Parts were required, for all
        purposes hereof to the same extent as the Parts originally incorporated
        or installed in, or attached or related to such Aircraft.

       (B) POOLING; ETC.

            (i) LESSEE may subject the Aircraft or any Engine to normal
interchange agreements customary among major Air Carriers entered into by the
LESSEE in the ordinary course of its business, and may subject any Engine to
pooling arrangements customary among major Air Carriers and entered into by the
LESSEE in the ordinary course of its business.

            (ii) LESSEE may install an Engine on an airframe owned by the LESSEE
provided such airframe is free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, except

                 (a) Permitted Liens; and

                 (b) the rights of Air Carriers under normal interchange
            arrangements which are customary among major Air Carriers and
            which do not contemplate, permit or require the transfer of title
            to the Airframe or Engines installed thereon.

            (iii) LESSEE may install an Engine on an airframe leased to, or
purchased by the LESSEE, subject to a lease, conditional sale, trust indenture
or other security agreement, but only if

                  (a) such airframe is clear of all liens and encumbrances,
        except Permitted Liens and the rights of the parties to the lease,
        conditional sale, trust indenture or other security agreement covering
        such airframe; and

                  (b) LESSOR and Lender shall have received from the lessor,
        conditional seller, indenture trustee, or secured party of such
        airframe, a written agreement (which may be the lease, conditional sale,
        trust indenture or other security agreement covering such airframe),
        whereby such lessor, conditional seller, indenture trustee or secured
        party expressly agrees that neither it nor its

<PAGE>

                                                                              27

        successors or assigns will acquire or claim any right, title or interest
        in any Engine by reason of such Engine being incorporated in such
        airframe at any time while such Engine is subject to this Lease; and

                  (c) LESSOR and Lender, upon request, shall have received from
        counsel to the LESSEE an opinion, in form and substance satisfactory to
        LESSOR and Lender, to the effect that no creditors of, or bona fide
        purchasers from, the lessor, conditional seller, indenture trustee or
        secured party of such airframe will acquire any right, title or interest
        in such Engine by reason of such Engine being installed on such airframe
        at any time while such Engine is subject to this Lease. In the event
        that LESSOR and Lender require an opinion, the cost of such opinion
        shall be shared equally by LESSOR and LESSEE.

            (iv) No permitted interchange or pooling agreement, transfer or
other relinquishment of possession permitted hereunder shall affect the title
to, or registration of or effect any transfer of the Aircraft, Airframe or
Engines or shall constitute consent to any action not permitted to the LESSEE in
this Lease.

            (v) LESSOR agrees, for the benefit of any lessor, indenture trustee
or other secured party to LESSEE, that it will not acquire or claim any right,
title or interest in any engine by reason of such engine being incorporated in
the Airframe at any time while such engine is subject to a lease, conditional
sale, trust indenture, or other security agreement covering such engine.

       (C) EQUIPMENT CHANGES. LESSEE, at its own expense, shall make such
alterations and modifications in and additions to the Aircraft ("Equipment
Changes") as may be required from time to time to meet the standards of the Air
Authority and of the Governmental Entity in the jurisdiction of which LESSEE
elects to fly the Aircraft and whose approval or consent is required to permit
LESSEE to fly over and/or into any geographical area with respect to which the
Governmental Entity exercises authority. In addition, the term "Equipment
Changes" shall mean modifications to or additions to the Aircraft that LESSEE,
at its own expense, may from time to time deem desirable in the proper conduct
of its business, provided that no such Equipment Change diminishes the value,
utility, condition or airworthiness of the Aircraft below the value, utility,
condition and airworthiness thereof immediately prior to such Equipment Change,
assuming the Aircraft was then in the condition required to be maintained by the
terms of this Lease, and provided further that LESSEE shall not change the
configuration (other than the seating configuration) of the Aircraft during the
Term hereof unless such configuration is approved by the Manufacturer, LESSOR
and the Air Authority. Any Equipment Change with an estimated cost in excess of
Two Hundred Fifty Thousand (US$250,000) Dollars must be approved in advance by
LESSOR, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld.

        Title to all Parts incorporated, installed in,

<PAGE>

                                                                              28

attached or added to the Aircraft as the result of any such Equipment Change
shall, without further act, vest in LESSOR; provided, however, that during
the Base Term LESSEE may remove any such Part if: (1) such Part is in
addition to any Part originally incorporated or installed in or attached to
such Aircraft at the time of delivery thereof hereunder; and (2) such Part is
not required by the Air Authority or the Governmental Entity having
jurisdiction to be incorporated, installed in, attached or added to the
Aircraft; and (3) such Part can be removed from the Aircraft or can be
replaced with a part of equal value to the Part installed upon delivery
without diminishing or impairing the value, utility or airworthiness which
the Aircraft would have had at such time, had such Equipment Change not
occurred. Upon the removal by LESSEE of any Part as above provided, title
thereto shall, without further act, vest in LESSEE and such Part shall no
longer be deemed part of the Aircraft from which it was removed. Any Part not
removed from the Aircraft by LESSEE as provided above prior to a Return
Occasion shall remain the property of LESSOR. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of Section 8(C), LESSOR agrees that LESSEE may install replacement
seats and galleys on the Aircraft. If the replacement seats and galleys are
(i) owned by any third party and leased to LESSEE, (ii) sold to LESSEE
subject to or other security interest, or (iii) lease to LESSEE pursuant to a
lease which is subject to a security interest in favor of any third party,
then LESSOR will not acquire or claim, as against such lessor, conditional
vendor or secured party, any right, title or interest in such seats and
galleys as the result of such seats and galleys being installed in the
Aircraft; provided, however (a) that LESSOR's inability to so acquire or
claim is subject to the express condition that such lessor, conditional
vendor or secured party shall not acquire or claim, as against LESSOR, any
right, title or interest in the Aircraft, or any Part other than its interest
in such seats or galleys by reason of such seats or galleys being installed
thereon, and (b) that all of LESSEE's right, title and interest in and to any
seats or galleys (but none of its obligations with respect thereto) not
removed by LESSEE within thirty (30) days after an Event of Default shall, at
such time, automatically become the property of LESSOR and subject to this
Lease.

        Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, in connection
with a return of the Aircraft by LESSEE to LESSOR on the Expiration Date, LESSEE
shall be entitled to remove and retain (with title vesting in LESSEE) the
avionics black boxes installed by LESSEE with respect to the TCAS and windshear
detection systems. All wiring installed by LESSEE in connection with the
installation of the TCAS and windshear detection systems shall remain in the
Aircraft and shall be deemed the property of LESSOR.

        In the event the FAA requires LESSEE to comply with the Stage III noise
regulations set forth in FAR Part 36 and LESSEE cannot obtain an exemption or
deferment for complying, LESSOR will, upon the request of LESSEE, provide
financing to LESSEE for the acquisition of a shipset of Stage III hushkits
suitable for installation on the Aircraft or, at LESSOR's election, provide such
hushkits to LESSEE. Should LESSOR provide financing or the hushkits to LESSEE as
contemplated in the preceding sentence, the

<PAGE>

                                                                              29

Basic Rent will be adjusted upward so as to fully amortize the financing or
the cost of the hushkits over the remaining term of the Lease based on the
amount of the financing or the cost of the hushkits, as the case may be, and
the prevailing interest rates applicable to an entity with the credit of
LESSEE at such time. In the event LESSEE is required to install hushkits
during the last twelve (12) months of the Base Term in order to meet Stage
III noise regulations, LESSEE shall have the option of either (i) retaining
the hushkits at the end of the Base Term (provided no Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, and further provided, that LESSEE
restores the Aircraft to the condition that it was in prior to the
installation of the hushkits), in which case LESSOR will transfer title to
the hushkits to LESSEE, or (ii) extending the term of the Lease on terms and
conditions mutually acceptable to LESSEE and LESSOR. In the event LESSEE
exercises the option set forth in (ii), LESSEE shall send a notice to LESSOR
not later than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the end of the Base
Term and LESSOR and LESSEE shall have agreed on the terms and conditions of
such extension not later than sixty (60) days prior to the end of the Base
Term. In the event LESSEE has exercised option (ii), above, and LESSOR and
LESSEE fail to reach an agreement on the terms and conditions for the
extension of the Lease with the time period set forth above, then, in such
event, the Base Term will be deemed to be extended for a one (1) year period
of time from the Expiration Date and all other terms and conditions of this
Lease will remain unchanged, except (i) the amount of Basic Rent which shall
be equal to the greater of (x) the current fair market rental value for the
Aircraft as of the Expiration Date and (y) the amount of Basic Rent then in
effect immediately prior to the Expiration Date; and (ii) the Security
Deposit will be increased so that the amount of the Security Deposit will at
all time be equal to two month's Basic Rent.

        LESSOR shall bear no liability in respect of, or cost for, any Equipment
Change, grounding of the Aircraft, suspension of certification thereof, or loss
of revenue therefrom.

        (D) On the Effective Date, the Engines installed on the Aircraft shall
be Pratt & Whitney model JT8D-15 engines (the "-15's"). Within sixty (60) days
of the Effective Date, LESSOR shall deliver to LESSEE's maintenance base in
Honolulu, Hawaii, two Pratt & Whitney model JT8D-9A engines (the "-9A's").
LESSEE shall, at its cost and expense (i) remove the -15's and ship same (along
with all components removed in installing the -9A's and all records relating to
the -15's) to a location designated by LESSOR, and (ii) install the -9A's on the
Aircraft. LESSEE agrees that when installing the -9A's, the mixers from the
-15's will either be installed on the thrust reversers for the -9A's or returned
to LESSOR. Simultaneously with the installation of the -9A's, (i) LESSOR and
LESSEE shall execute a partial lease termination for the purpose of releasing
the -15's from the terms of this Lease, (ii) LESSOR and LESSEE shall execute a
Lease Supplement to this Lease for the purpose of subjecting the -9A's to the
terms of this Lease, (iii) LESSEE shall execute and deliver to LESSOR a Delivery
Receipt and Acceptance Certificate with respect to the -9A's, (iv) LESSEE and
LESSOR shall execute releases and/or amendments to all UCC financing statement
previously executed and filed to reflect the

                                                                              30

release of the -15's and the inclusion of the -9A's, and (v) LESSEE shall
execute and deliver such additional documents as Lender may reasonably
request in order to perfect its security interest in the -9A's.

                                    SECTION 9

                        INSPECTION; FINANCIAL INFORMATION

        (A) During the Base Term, in addition to the information and reports
required to be provided by LESSEE to LESSOR pursuant to Section 7(G) of this
Lease, LESSEE shall furnish to LESSOR and Lender such additional information
concerning the location, condition, use and operation of the Aircraft as LESSOR
and/or Lender may reasonably request.

        (B) The right of LESSOR, or its designated representatives, to
inspect the Aircraft during any "C" or "D" check or equivalent (as defined in
the Maintenance Program), performed by or on behalf of LESSEE during the Base
Term, shall be absolute. LESSEE shall also provide LESSOR with maintenance
schedules relating to the Aircraft upon the delivery of the Aircraft to
LESSEE, and from time to time as such maintenance schedules are adjusted or
updated. LESSEE further agrees to provide LESSOR with quarterly written
projections of the scheduled date for "C" and "D" checks, in order to enable
LESSOR to inspect the Aircraft at the time and place such checks occur.
During such checks, LESSEE agrees to allow LESSOR, or its authorized
representative, to inspect any area of the Aircraft which LESSOR requests to
inspect which would normally require inspection during such major checks.
LESSEE also shall permit any Person designated by LESSOR in writing to:

                  (1) visit and inspect the Aircraft, its condition, use and
        operation, and the records maintained in connection therewith;

                  (2) visit and inspect the properties of LESSEE;

                  (3) discuss the finances and accounts of LESSEE with the
        principal officers of LESSEE,

all at such times and frequencies as LESSOR, or the assignee of LESSOR,
may reasonably request. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other right to
inspect granted to LESSOR under this Lease, neither LESSOR nor the assignee of
LESSOR shall have any duty to make any such inspection and neither LESSOR nor
the assignee of LESSOR shall incur any liability or obligation by reason of not
making any such inspection;

                  (4) obtain such other financial information as LESSOR or
        Lender may reasonably request. In this regard, during the Base Term,
        LESSEE shall deliver to LESSOR and Lender annual consolidated financial
        statements of AirGroup prepared in accordance with generally accepted

<PAGE>

                                                                              31

        accounting principles consistently applied and audited by
        recognized, independent certified public accountants reasonably
        satisfactory to LESSOR as soon as practicable and in any event within
        120 days after the end of LESSEE's fiscal year, as well as quarterly
        unaudited financial statements of LESSEE, certified as being true,
        accurate and complete by the chief financial officer of LESSEE, within
        60 days following the close of each of LESSEE's fiscal quarters; and

                  (5) inspect LESSEE's Maintenance Program for the Aircraft and
        make copies and take extracts thereof.

LESSOR hereby agrees that if LESSOR exercises any of the rights listed
in clauses (1) through (5) above, it shall do so in such a manner so as not to
unreasonably interfere with the business and operations of LESSEE.

        (C) LESSEE shall also furnish any other information or records on the
Aircraft that LESSOR and/or Lender may reasonably request.

        (D) LESSOR agrees to keep confidential any information provided to it by
LESSEE under the terms of this Lease; provided, however, that LESSOR shall have
no obligation to keep such information confidential (i) if such information is
public information at the time received by LESSOR or becomes public at the time
same is disclosed by LESSOR, (ii) from LESSOR's attorneys, accountants, auditors
and aircraft technical experts, and (iii) if compelled by court order or the
provisions of any Law to disclose same.

                                   SECTION 10

                               COVENANTS OF LESSEE

        LESSEE represents, warrants, covenants and agrees, in addition to all
other representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Lease, that:

        (A) MAINTENANCE OF CORPORATE EXISTENCE. LESSEE shall preserve and
maintain its existence, valid legal status, and all of its rights, privileges,
and franchises necessary to remain duly incorporated and to operate as a
passenger airline under the Laws of the United States and the State of Hawaii.

        (B) PAYMENT OF TAXES. LESSEE shall:

                  (1) Pay or cause to be paid all Taxes imposed, levied or
        assessed upon LESSEE (or for which LESSEE has assumed the obligation
        pursuant to this Lease) or its income or profits, or upon any property
        or assets belonging to or used by it, prior to the date on which
        penalties attach thereto;

<PAGE>

                                                                              32

                  (2) Pay or otherwise discharge all lawful claims, which, if
        not paid, might become a Lien or charge upon the property of LESSEE
        (provided, however, that LESSEE shall not be required to pay any such
        Taxes or claims, the payment of which is being contested in good faith
        and by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been
        provided, except that LESSEE will pay or cause to be paid all such Taxes
        or claims forthwith in the event LESSEE is unable to stay or suspend
        enforcement or execution of a warrant of restraint or foreclosure of any
        Liens which attach as security therefor).

        (C) SALE OF ASSETS, MERGER, ETC. Without the prior written consent of
LESSOR, which consent shall not be unreasonably or arbitrarily withheld, LESSEE
will not sell, lease, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of substantially all
of its assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, except in the ordinary
course of its business as presently conducted and for a full and adequate
consideration, and will not merge or consolidate with or into, or acquire
substantially all of the assets and assume substantially all of the liabilities
of, any corporation or other entity unless the surviving entity is the LESSEE or
the surviving entity assumes this Lease and the financial condition of LESSEE or
the surviving entity after such sale of assets, merger, consolidation or
acquisition is equal to or better than that of LESSEE immediately prior thereto
as LESSOR in its reasonable judgment shall determine.

        (D) AIR CARRIER. Throughout the Base Term, LESSEE shall, at all times,
be an Air Carrier in good standing.

        (E) U.S. CITIZEN. Throughout the Base Term, LESSEE shall, at all times,
be a citizen of the United States as defined in 40102 of Title 49 of the United
States Code.

        (F) COMMUNICATIONS. LESSEE shall deliver to LESSOR promptly any
communications received by LESSEE from the Air Authority or any Governmental
Entity which materially affects the Aircraft.

                                   SECTION 11

                                      TAXES

        (A) GENERAL TAX INDEMNITY. LESSEE agrees to pay and to indemnify and
hold harmless the Indemnitees from all Taxes against or upon any of the
Indemnitees, LESSEE, the Aircraft, or any part thereof during the Base Term and
arising out of this Lease, or upon the leasing, selling, possession, use,
operation, repair, maintenance, overhaul, settlement of any insurance claim, or
return thereof, or upon any Rent, receipts or earnings arising from the
operation thereof, or upon or with respect to this Lease unless, and to the
extent only that, any such Tax is being contested by LESSEE in good faith and by
appropriate proceedings duly instituted and diligently prosecuted with adequate
reserves having been

<PAGE>

                                                                              33

provided on account thereof and only so long as such proceedings do not
involve and danger of the sale, forfeiture or loss of the Aircraft. In case
any report or return is required to be made with respect to any obligation of
LESSEE under or arising out of this Section 11, LESSEE shall either make such
report or return in such manner as will show the ownership of the Aircraft in
LESSOR and send a copy of such report or return to LESSOR, or shall notify
LESSOR of such requirement and make such report or return in such manner as
shall be satisfactory to LESSOR. If claim is made against any Indemnitee for
any Taxes arising during the term of this Lease, such Indemnitee shall
promptly notify LESSEE. Any such Indemnitee shall, at LESSEE's expense, take
such action as LESSEE may reasonably request in writing with respect to such
asserted liability, and if reasonably requested by LESSEE and upon the prior
payment to such Indemnitee by LESSEE of an amount equal to such Tax, any
payment by an Indemnitee of such Tax shall be made under protest. If payment
is made, the Indemnitee shall, at LESSEE's expense, take such action as
LESSEE may reasonably request to recover such payment and shall, if
requested, permit LESSEE in the Indemnitee's name to file a claim or
prosecute an action to recover such payment. All of the obligations of LESSEE
in this Section 11 with respect to Taxes imposed or accrued before the
expiration or other termination of this Lease shall continue in full force
and effect notwithstanding such expiration or other termination, and are
expressly made for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each
Indemnitee. LESSEE further agrees that, with respect to any payment or
indemnity hereunder, 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 under the Laws of any Governmental
Entity. Excluded from the tax indemnification set forth above are any income
taxes assessed or due on an Indemnitee's net income or any state franchise or
similar corporate taxes payable by an Indemnitee.

        In the event that during the Base Term a federal value added tax or
consumption tax is enacted and becomes effective which replaces the federal
income tax, LESSOR and LESSEE shall negotiate in good faith a restructuring of
the provisions of this Section 11(A), consistent with the principles for tax
indemnification reflected in this Section 11(A), so as to achieve substantially
the same degree of tax indemnification obligations of LESSEE as existed prior to
the enactment of such federal value added tax or consumption tax.

        (B) SPECIAL TAX INDEMNITY. (i) TAX ASSUMPTIONS. In entering into the
Lease and the transactions contemplated hereby, LESSOR has made the following
tax assumptions for the Aircraft (the "Tax Assumptions"):

            (1) LESSOR or Beneficiary is entitled to the benefit of depreciation
for Federal income tax purposes under the Accelerated Cost Recovery System
provided for in Section 168 of the Code and depreciation deductions for state
income tax purposes for the state where LESSOR's or Beneficiary's principal
place of business is located ("LESSOR's Home State") based upon one hundred

<PAGE>

                                                                              34

percent (100%) of the Acquisition Cost of the Aircraft, and on the basis that
the Aircraft shall have seven year recovery period and property
classification, and that LESSOR or Beneficiary shall be entitled to use the
method of depreciation and depreciation convention equal to 200% declining
balance method of depreciation, switching to the straight line method at the
point in time that maximizes the depreciation allowance for LESSOR or
Beneficiary (the "Recovery Deduction");

            (2) with respect to the Aircraft, Lessor or Beneficiary will be
entitled to the benefit of deductions for Federal and LESSOR's Home State income
tax purposes for interest payable with respect to any indebtedness incurred by
LESSOR or Beneficiary in connection with any financing by LESSOR or Beneficiary
of any portion of the Acquisition Cost of the Aircraft (the "Interest
Deduction"); and

            (3) for each year of the Base Term of the Lease, including any year
in which a Tax Loss (hereinafter defined) occurs, LESSOR or Beneficiary will be
subject to tax as follows:

                (x) for such year up to and including the year in which such Tax
Loss occurs, at a composite Federal and state income tax rate that is equal to
the highest marginal rate (provided that, in computing such highest marginal
rate, there shall be excluded any surcharges to normal Federal and state income
tax rates which are applicable to brackets of income which are limited as to
their upper level, such as but not limited to those described in the last two
sentences of Section 11(a)(1) of the Code, and, it is understood that surcharges
which are applicable to brackets of income which are not limited as to their
upper level shall be included in computing such highest marginal rate) provided
for under the Code and the laws of the LESSOR's Home State (the "Highest
Composite Marginal Tax Rate") and that is actually in effect for each such year
and assuming that any state tax used in the calculation of such marginal rate
shall be taken as a deduction for purposes of computing Federal tax so that the
Composite Rate is a lower rate than that obtained by merely adding the state
rate to the Federal rate (assuming LESSOR has received a tax benefit from such
deduction), and

                (y) for such year following the year in which such Tax Loss
occurs, at a composite Federal and state income tax rate that is equal to the
Highest Composite Marginal Tax Rate actually in effect in the year in which such
Tax Loss occurs and which, under the provisions of the Code and the laws of
LESSOR's Home State then in effect, is to be applicable to each such following
year.

            (ii) LESSEE'S TAX REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. LESSEE represents
and warrants to LESSOR and Beneficiary that:

                (1) at all times during the Base Term, with respect to the
Aircraft, such Aircraft will not, due to any act or failure to act on the part
of LESSEE, constitute property "used predominantly outside the United States" or
"tax-exempt use

<PAGE>

                                                                              35

property" within the meaning of Sections 168(g)(1)(A), 168(g)(4)(a)
and 168(h)(1)(A), respectively, of the Code and Proposed Code Regulation Section
1.168-2(g)(5)(iii)(A).

            (iii) INDEMNITY. If by reason of the breach or inaccuracy of any of
LESSEE's representations and warranties set forth in this Section, LESSOR or
Beneficiary shall lose the benefit of, or shall not have or shall lose the right
to claim, or shall suffer a disallowance or recapture of, or delay in claiming,
all or any portion of the Recovery Deduction or, if LESSOR or Beneficiary
finances any portion of its Acquisition Cost, the Interest Deduction, with
respect to the Aircraft (any such loss, failure to have or loss of the right to
claim, disallowance, recapture, delay in claiming, treatment, or inclusion
referred to in any of the foregoing clauses of this section being hereinafter
called a "Tax Loss"), then a Tax Loss shall be deemed to have occurred and
LESSEE shall on the Rent Date next following written notice by LESSOR or
Beneficiary to LESSEE that a Tax Loss has occurred pay to LESSOR or Beneficiary
an amount sufficient to indemnify LESSOR or Beneficiary for such Tax Loss and
penalties, if any thereon, on an after-tax basis.

            (iv) IDENTIFICATION OF LESSOR. For purposes of this Section, the
term "LESSOR" shall include the Beneficiary, each member of the Beneficiary and
their respective successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives.

            (v) CONTESTS. If an Indemnitee should receive notice of any claim by
a taxing authority that may result in liability on the part of LESSEE under
Section 11 (B) (iii), such Indemnitee shall promptly notify LESSEE of such claim
and LESSEE and such Indemnitee shall have the same rights and privileges with
respect to such contest of such claim as are described above in Section 11(A).

            (C) EXCLUSIONS. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 11, the LESSEE shall not be required to indemnify for any liability
which occurs directly and primarily as a result of any of the following events:

            (1) a failure by an Indemnitee to timely or properly claim a
deduction or other tax benefit, the gross negligence of an Indemnitee or the
failure of an Indemnitee to timely notify LESSEE of a claim against such
Indemnitee by a taxing authority, provided such failure to timely notify LESSEE
has a material adverse affect on LESSEE's rights under this Section 11;

            (2) the treatment of the Aircraft in 1996 or the year in which the
Base Term (or any extension thereof) expires as used predominantly outside the
United States for purposes of Code Section 168(g)(1)(A), if such treatment would
not have occurred but for such use of the Aircraft outside of the United States
prior to or subsequent to the term of the Lease;

            (3) an event which occurs after the end of the Base Term with
respect to the Aircraft and the return thereof in accordance with the Lease; or

<PAGE>

                                                                              36

            (4)(a) a material change in the Code, the Income Tax Regulations
promulgated by the United States Treasury Department or a change in the
administrative or judicial interpretations thereof (collectively, a "Change in
Law"), which is enacted, adopted or promulgated and becomes effective after the
Effective Date and during the Base Term; provided, however, that with respect to
such Change in Law, (i) there is no pending contest, appeal or review process
with respect thereto, and (ii) the Internal Revenue Service has recognized and
is enforcing such Change in Law.

                (b) should a Change in Law occur and become effective during the
Base Term, LESSEE shall have the right to send a notice to LESSOR (a "LESSEE's
Change Notice") advising LESSOR of the Change in Law and LESSEE's intention not
to indemnify LESSOR for those matters which are the subject of the Change in
Law. LESSOR shall have ninety (90) days from the date of the giving of LESSEE's
Change Notice to send LESSEE a notice (the "LESSOR's Response") advising LESSEE
that it either (i) acknowledges and agrees that it will not be indemnified by
LESSEE for those matters which are the subject of the Change in Law, or (ii)
that it has elected to terminate the Lease ninety (90) days from the date of the
giving of the LESSOR's Response. In the event that LESSOR in the LESSOR's
Response has elected option (ii), LESSEE shall have thirty (30) days from the
date of the giving of LESSOR's Response to send a written notice to LESSOR
modifying LESSEE's Change Notice (a "LESSEE Modification Notice") and agreeing
to indemnify LESSOR for those matters which are the subject of the Change in
Law. In the event LESSEE does not give a LESSEE Modification Notice within said
thirty (30) day period, LESSOR shall have ten (10) days from the end of such
thirty (30) day period to send to LESSEE a notice modifying the LESSOR's
Response (a "LESSOR Modification Notice") and agreeing to option (i) above. In
the event that LESSEE has declined to indemnify LESSOR for those matters which
are the subject of the Change in Law, LESSEE would have no obligation to
indemnify for those matters for the period of time following the giving of
LESSEE's Change Notice.

            (D) TAX SAVINGS OR REFUND. (i) If an Indemnitee shall receive a
refund on account of any Tax for which such Indemnitee was indemnified or which
was advanced by LESSEE, then such Indemnitee shall, and LESSOR shall use its
reasonable efforts to cause such Indemnitee to, promptly pay the amount of such
refund to LESSEE (together with the amount of any interest and attorneys fees
received by such Indemnitee in relation to such refund).

            (ii) If an Indemnitee, as a result of a loss or expense for which an
indemnity payment has been made pursuant to this Section 11 or as a result of
deferred depreciation deductions or increased basis (i.e., depreciation
deductions or basis in any tax year which are greater than they would have been
had the circumstances giving rise to LESSEE's liability for indemnity not
occurred), shall realize an aggregate net reduction in United States federal
income tax or state or local incomes taxes which such Indemnitee would not have
realized but for such loss, expense, deferred depreciation deductions or
increased basis, the Indemnitee

<PAGE>

                                                                              37

shall pay, and the LESSOR shall cause the Indemnitee to pay, the LESSEE an
amount equal to such aggregate net reduction in United States federal income tax
plus any other tax savings realized by such Indemnitee on account of the same.
Any payment due to the LESSEE from an Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 11
shall be paid promptly after the Indemnitee actually realizes any such aggregate
net reduction in United States federal income tax or state or local income
taxes. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, in no event
shall any Indemnitee be required to make any payment to LESSEE pursuant to the
terms of this subsection (ii) in excess of the amount of indemnification
payments made by LESSEE to such party pursuant to this Section 11.

                                   SECTION 12

                                  EVENT OF LOSS

            (A) EVENT OF LOSS REGARDING THE AIRCRAFT. In the event that an Event
of Loss occurs with respect to the Aircraft, LESSEE shall forthwith (and, in any
event, not later than three (3) days after the occurrence of the Event of Loss)
give LESSOR written notice of such Event of Loss and, not later than the earlier
of: (a) the sixtieth day following the occurrence of such Event of Loss; or (b)
the day of receipt of insurance proceeds in respect of such Event of Loss; pay
to LESSOR or its assignees, in funds of the type specified in Subsection 5(B)
hereof, the sum of all unpaid Rent and all other amounts due hereunder with
respect to such Aircraft and which have accrued through and including the date
of payment of the Agreed Value, plus an amount equal to the Agreed Value. In the
event of payment in full of such Agreed Value, together with all such amounts
due or accrued hereunder on or prior to the date of such payment, the obligation
of LESSEE to pay Rent hereunder shall terminate. On the date of payment of the
Agreed Value, LESSOR shall credit or refund to LESSEE all pre-paid Basic Rent,
if any, the Security Deposit and all accrued Reserves.

            Upon payment of all Rent due and the Agreed Value, LESSOR shall
transfer to LESSEE (subject to the rights of the insurers) all of LESSOR's
right, title, and interest in and to: (i) the Aircraft which sustained such
Event of Loss, as well as all of LESSOR's right, title, and interest in and to
any Engines constituting part of such Aircraft; and (ii) all claims for damages
to such Aircraft and/or Engines, if any, against third Persons arising from such
Event of Loss (unless any insurance carrier requires that such claims be
assigned to it), without any representation, warranty, or recourse of any kind
whatsoever, express or implied, except a warranty that such Aircraft is free and
clear of any Liens, mortgages and encumbrances, other than Liens which LESSEE is
required to discharge hereunder or defects in title resulting from acts by or
claims against LESSEE.

            In the event of an Event of Loss involving the Aircraft wherein one
or more of the Engines are not attached to the Airframe, the Aircraft, for
purposes of this Section 12(A), shall be deemed to include all Engines on lease
hereunder and LESSOR

<PAGE>

                                                                              38

shall cooperate in transferring title to such non-attached Engines,
free and clear of all LESSOR Liens, to the owner of the engine attached to the
Airframe at the time of the Event of Loss.

            In the event of an Event of Loss to an airframe involving an Engine
attached to an airframe owned by LESSEE or another party, such airframe shall be
deemed to include the Engine attached thereto and LESSEE shall promptly transfer
title to, or cause the party on whose airframe the Engine was attached to
promptly transfer title to, a Replacement Engine (as defined below) in
accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 12(B).

            (B) EVENT OF LOSS WITH RESPECT TO AN ENGINE. Upon any Event of Loss
with respect to an Engine not then installed on the Aircraft, or an Event of
Loss with respect to only an Engine installed on the Aircraft not involving an
Event of Loss to the Aircraft, LESSEE shall give LESSOR prompt written notice
thereof and LESSEE shall replace such Engine as soon as reasonably possible
after such Event of Loss by duly conveying to LESSOR, as a replacement for such
Engine, title to another engine owned by LESSEE (a "Replacement Engine"), which
Replacement Engine shall be free and clear of all Liens and shall have a value
and utility at least equal to, and be in as good operating condition as, the
Engine which sustained such Event of Loss (assuming the Engine which sustained
such Event of Loss was maintained in the condition in which LESSEE was required
to maintain such Engine pursuant to this Lease). Such Replacement Engine, after
approval and acceptance by LESSOR, shall be deemed an "Engine" as defined
herein. LESSEE agrees to take such action as LESSOR may reasonably request in
order that any such Replacement Engine shall be duly and properly leased
hereunder to the same extent as the Engine subject to the Event of Loss and
shall be titled in LESSOR and the interest of LESSOR's Lender therein shall be
fully protected and perfected. Upon request by LESSOR, LESSEE shall cause to be
delivered to LESSOR and Lender an opinion of FAA counsel (to be provided at
LESSEE's expense) as to the lien free status of such engine along with an
opinion of FAA counsel that such replacement engine has been made subject to
this Lease and that the security interest of Lender therein has been fully
perfected. LESSEE's obligation to pay Rent hereunder shall continue in full
force and effect regardless of the occurrence of an Event of Loss with respect
to an Engine, but LESSEE shall be entitled to be reimbursed by LESSOR the amount
of insurance or condemnation proceeds, if any, received by LESSOR with respect
to such Engine. Upon receipt of title by LESSOR to the Replacement Engine as
hereinabove provided, LESSOR shall convey to LESSEE, free and clear of all Liens
(except, subject to the rights of the insurers), title to the Engine which
sustained such Event of Loss.

            (C) DAMAGE OR REQUISITION NOT CONSTITUTING AN EVENT OF LOSS. In the
event of material damage or requisition of the Aircraft or any Engine not
constituting an Event of Loss, LESSEE shall promptly notify LESSOR in writing of
such damage or requisition and shall remain obligated to make all payments of
Rent in respect of such Aircraft or Engine which may become due

<PAGE>

                                                                              39

hereunder in the same manner as if such damage or requisition had
not occurred and to perform all other obligations of LESSEE hereunder. All
payments at any time received by LESSEE, or by LESSOR from any Person other than
LESSEE in excess of $500,000 with respect to any such damage or requisition
shall be paid over to, or retained by, LESSOR, and shall be paid to LESSEE upon
repair of the Aircraft or Engine. To the extent that LESSEE has paid Rent and
LESSOR receives a requisition payment for the period of time for which LESSEE
had paid Rent, LESSOR agrees that it shall, as promptly as is reasonably
practicable, pay to LESSEE that amount of the requisition payment received by it
equal to the Rent for such period previously paid to LESSOR by LESSEE.

            (D) RECEIPT AND APPLICATION OF COMPENSATION. Following an Event of
Loss or an occurrence not constituting an Event of Loss with respect to which
payments, including insurance proceeds, are made by or are due from any Person
(any such payments or proceeds being hereinafter referred to as "Compensation"),
LESSOR shall be entitled to receive, and shall receive, and LESSEE hereby
assigns to LESSOR any right or interest which LESSEE may have or may hereafter
acquire, in such Compensation, to be applied as follows:

                (1) If such Compensation is received with respect to the
            Aircraft, so much thereof as shall not exceed the Agreed Value and
            other amounts due under Subsection 12(A) shall be retained by
            LESSOR, in reduction of LESSEE's obligation to pay such Agreed Value
            and other amounts due as was not theretofore paid by LESSEE, or, if
            such Agreed Value and other amounts have already been paid to
            LESSOR, such Compensation shall be applied to reimburse LESSEE for
            its payment of such Agreed Value, and may be paid to LESSEE.

                (2) If such Compensation is received with respect to an Engine
            under the circumstances described in Subsection 12(B), such
            Compensation shall be held in an account established for LESSOR with
            a bank or trust company as depository, as designated by LESSOR, such
            sums to be held, invested and distributed as provided below. All of
            LESSEE's interest in all moneys and investments standing to the
            credit of such account are hereby pledged to LESSOR (or, at the
            election of LESSOR, to Lender), and LESSOR (or Lender) is hereby
            granted a general lien upon and security interest in all of LESSEE's
            interest, if any, in all such moneys and investments as security for
            the performance in full of all of LESSEE's covenants contained in
            this Lease. The bank or trust company holding such Compensation
            shall be deemed to be LESSOR's (or Lender's) agent for the purpose
            of perfecting LESSOR's (or Lender's) security interest in such sums
            and shall be notified of, and accept such appointment as agent. If
            LESSEE shall replace such Engine in accordance with the provisions
            of Subsection 12(B), LESSOR shall, so long as no Default or Event of
            Default or event which, with the giving of notice or the passage of
            time, or both, would constitute a Default or an Event of Default
            shall have occurred and be continuing,

<PAGE>

                                                                              40

            return, or cause to be returned, all moneys and investments then
            held in such account to LESSEE.

            (E) PAYMENTS DURING EXISTENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. Any payment
referred to in Subsection 12(A), (B), (C) or (D) hereof which is payable to
LESSEE hereunder shall not be paid to LESSEE, or, if previously paid directly
to LESSEE, shall not be retained by LESSEE, if at the time of such payment a
Default or an Event of Default or an event which with the giving of notice or
the passage of time, or both, would constitute a Default or an Event of
Default hereunder shall have occurred and be continuing, but shall be paid to
and retained by LESSOR as security for the obligations of LESSEE under this
Lease until such time as such Default or Event of Default or event which with
the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a
Default or Event of Default shall have been remedied, whereupon such payment
shall be made to LESSEE.

                                   SECTION 13

                                    INSURANCE

            (A) PUBLIC LIABILITY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE LIABILITY INSURANCE.
LESSEE will carry and maintain in effect, at its own expense, with Approved
Insurers, public liability insurance (including, but not limited to,
contractual liability, and passenger legal liability), and property damage
liability insurance with respect to the Aircraft, in amounts per occurrence
of not less than the Minimum Liability Coverage, or such greater amounts as
LESSEE may carry from time to time on other similar aircraft in its fleet.
LESSEE shall not discriminate against the Aircraft in providing such
insurance coverage. Each and any policy of insurance carried in accordance
with this Subsection (A), and each and any policy obtained in substitution or
replacement for any of such policies, (i) shall designate LESSOR,
Beneficiary, Lender, Lufthansa and Amtec Jet, Inc. ("Amtec"), and their
respective officers, directors, shareholders, members, employees, agents and
assigns (collectively, the "Additional Insureds"), as additional insureds 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, but LESSOR, Beneficiary,
Lender, Amtec and/or Lufthansa shall have the right to pay such premiums if
it shall so elect), and (ii) shall expressly provide that, in respect of the
interests of the Additional Insureds in such policies, the insurance will not
be invalidated by any action or inaction of the LESSEE, and shall insure the
Additional Insureds, regardless of any breach or violation by LESSEE of any
warranty, declaration or condition contained in such policies, (iii) shall
provide that if such insurance is canceled by insurers for any reason
whatsoever, or is adversely changed in any way by insurers with respect to
the interests of the Additional Insureds, or if such insurance is allowed to
lapse for nonpayment of premiums, such cancellation, change or lapse shall
not be effective as to the Additional Insureds for 30 days (seven (7) days or
such shorter period as may be customary in the case of any war risks and
allied perils

<PAGE>

                                                                              41

coverage), in each instance, after the issuance to LESSOR, Beneficiary,
Lender, Amtec and Lufthansa of written notice by such insurer or insurers
and/or brokers to LESSOR, Beneficiary, Lender and Lufthansa of such
prospective cancellation, change or lapse, (iv) shall provide coverage on a
worldwide basis, subject to such territorial exclusions as may be usual and
customary in the worldwide airline insurance industry for airlines similarly
situated with LESSEE, (v) shall provide that, as against the Additional
Insureds, the insurer shall waive any rights of set-off, counterclaim or any
other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, and waives any right of
subrogation it may have against the Additional Insureds but only to the same
extent that LESSEE has waived its right of recovery against the Additional
Insureds under the Lease Documents. Each liability policy shall be primary
without right of contribution from any other insurance which may be carried
by LESSOR, Beneficiary, Lender, Amtec, Lufthansa or their assigns, and 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 provisions shall not operate to increase the insurer's
limit of liability. No liability policy shall permit any deductible or
self-insurance provision except for baggage and cargo as is customary in the
London or U.S. aviation insurance industry and such other deductibles only
with the consent of the LESSOR, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, which from time to time LESSEE can demonstrate are
standard in comprehensive liability insurance and, in particular, public
liability risks (including, INTER ALIA, contractual liability and passenger
liability coverage) for major international passenger air carriers in the
then current London or U.S. aviation insurance market.

            (B) HULL WAR RISKS INSURANCE. LESSEE will carry and maintain in
effect with Approved Insurers, at its own expense, hull war risks and allied
perils insurance on the Aircraft (which shall include, but not be limited to, a
disappearance clause and coverage for hijacking, declared or undeclared war and
insurrections, strikes, riots, commotion's or labor disturbances, malicious acts
or acts of sabotage and unlawful seizure or wrongful exercise of control of the
Aircraft in flight by a person on board such Aircraft acting without the consent
of LESSEE) in an amount not less than the Agreed Value or such greater amounts
as LESSOR may request from time to time (and for which LESSOR shall reimburse
LESSEE for its cost of increased premium, if any, for such greater amounts of
insurance) and covering those perils which, from time to time, are customarily
covered by similar insurance maintained by major international passenger air
carriers insuring in the London or U.S. Aviation insurance market.

            (C) ALL RISKS HULL INSURANCE. LESSEE, at its own expense, will
maintain in effect with Approved Insurers all risks ground and flight aircraft
hull insurance covering such Aircraft, and fire, transit, spares and extended
all risks coverage insurance with respect to Engines and Parts while not
installed on such Aircraft or an aircraft, which in each case is of the type
maintained by major international passenger air carriers similarly situated to
LESSEE and operating similar aircraft and engines which

<PAGE>

                                                                              42

comprise LESSEE's fleet. At all times while the Aircraft is subject to this
Lease, such insurance shall be for an amount not less than the Agreed Value
or such greater amounts as LESSOR may request from time to time (and for
which LESSOR shall reimburse LESSEE, at its own cost of increased premium, if
any, for such greater amounts of insurance).

            Notwithstanding anything above, each and every policy of
insurance obtained and maintained pursuant to Subsection (B) and this
Subsection (C), and each and every policy obtained in substitution or
replacement for any such policies, (i) shall designate LESSOR as owner of the
Aircraft covered thereby, and shall designate Lender (or LESSOR, if there is
no Lender), or its assigns, as loss payee, as their respective interests may
appear (but without imposing upon LESSOR, Lender, or their assigns, any
obligation imposed upon the insured, including, without limitation, the
liability to pay any premiums for any such policies, but LESSOR and/or Lender
and/or their assigns shall have the right to pay such premiums if they shall
so elect), (ii) shall expressly provide that, in respect of the interests of
LESSOR, Lender or their assigns in such policies, the insurance shall not be
invalidated by any action or inaction of LESSEE and shall insure LESSOR,
Lender or their assigns, regardless of any breach or violation of any
warranty, declaration or condition contained in such policies by LESSEE,
(iii) shall provide that if such insurance is canceled for any reason
whatsoever, or is adversely changed in any way with respect to the interest
of the LESSOR, Lender or their assigns, or if such insurance is allowed to
lapse for nonpayment of premium, such cancellation change or lapse shall not
be effective as to LESSOR, Lender or their assigns, for thirty (30) days
(seven (7) days or such shorter period as may be customary in the case of any
war risks or allied perils coverage) after issuance to LESSOR and Lender of
written notice by such insurer or insurers to LESSOR and Lender, as the case
may be, of such prospective cancellation, change or lapse, (iv) shall provide
coverage on a worldwide basis, subject to such territorial exclusions as may
be usual and customary in the worldwide airline insurance industry for
airlines similarly situated with LESSEE, (v) shall provide that, as against
the LESSOR, Lender or their assigns, the insurer shall waive any rights of
set-off, counterclaim or any other deduction, whether by attachment or
otherwise, and waives any right of subrogation it may have against LESSOR,
Lender or their assigns but only to the extent that LESSEE has waived its
right of recovery against LESSOR, Lender or their assigns under the Lease
Documents, (vi) shall provide that in the event of any damage or loss which
is an Event of Loss hereunder and which results in a payment, such payment
shall be payable solely and directly to LESSOR or, if LESSOR shall at such
time have a lender that has provided financing secured in whole or in part by
the Aircraft and/or this Lease, then to the Lender, for the account of all
interests, (vii) shall provide that in the event of any damage or loss which
is not an Event of Loss hereunder and which results in a payment for any one
occurrence in excess of $500,000.00 such payment shall be payable directly to
LESSOR, (viii) shall provide that payments for any one occurrence not in
excess of $500,000.00 shall be payable direclty to LESSEE provided there
exists no Defaut or Event of Defautl by LESSEE, and (ix) shall provide for a
50/50 claims funding arrangement between

<PAGE>

                                                                              43

the all risks hull and war risks underwriters.

            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. 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 13.

            LESSEE shall at all times maintain a deductible amount in its all
risks hull and war risks insurance policies which is no more than Five Hundred
Thousand (US$500,000.00) Dollars.

            (D) APPLICATION OF INSURANCE PROCEEDS NOT IN EXCESS OF $500,000.00.
LESSEE shall be entitled to receive any insurance proceeds not in excess of Five
Hundred Thousand ($500,000.00) Dollars as soon as such funds are paid by the
insurance company and shall promptly receive such additional insurance proceeds,
if any, upon presentation to LESSOR of a vendor's or LESSEE's invoice, provided
that repair work is in progress, replacement parts are ordered, or such work is
complete. All insurance proceeds received by LESSEE pursuant to this Subsection
13(D) shall be used by the LESSEE exclusively for the repair of any damage to
the Aircraft or Engines on account of which the insurance proceeds were paid.
Any amount referred to in this Subsection 13(D) which is payable to LESSEE shall
not be paid to LESSEE if, at the time of such payment, any Default or Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing or if the amount of the insurance
proceeds payable is less than the estimated total cost of the repairs and LESSEE
does not deliver evidence to LESSOR that such additional amount needed to pay
the estimated total cost of repairs has been paid, but shall be held by LESSOR
as security for the obligations of LESSEE under this Lease and such amount shall
be paid to LESSEE at such time as there shall not be continuing any such Default
or Event of Default.

            (E) APPLICATION IN DEFAULT. Any insurance proceeds referred to in
this Lease which are otherwise payable 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 hereunder.

            (F) CERTIFICATES. Not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the
Effective Date, and thereafter on each renewal by the LESSEE of the insurance
required hereby, LESSEE will furnish to LESSOR a certificate executed and
delivered by an Approved Insurer, appointed by LESSEE, describing in reasonable
detail, and in accordance with customary practice, insurance carried on the
Aircraft and certifying that the insurance then maintained on the Aircraft
complies with the terms of this Lease. LESSEE will cause such Approved
Insurer, identified to and reasonably acceptable to LESSOR, to agree to hold all
insurance contracts and slips for the benefit of LESSOR and to advise LESSOR in
writing at least thirty (30) days (seven (7) days in the case of any war risk
and allied

<PAGE>

                                                                              44

perils coverage) prior to the non-renewal, termination, or cancellation for any
reason (including, without limitation, failure to pay premiums therefor) of
any such insurance.

            In the event LESSEE shall fail to maintain insurance as herein
provided, LESSOR may at its option provide such insurance and, in such event,
LESSEE shall, upon demand, reimburse LESSOR, as Supplemental Rent for the cost
thereof.

            (G) CHANGES IN INDUSTRY PRACTICE. If there shall be a fundamental
change in the generally accepted industry-wide practice with respect to the
insurance of aircraft (whether relating to all or any of the types of insurance
required to be effected pursuant to the terms of this Section 13) and, as a
consequence thereof, LESSOR shall be of the reasonable opinion that the
insurance required pursuant to the provisions of this Section 13 shall be
insufficient to protect the interests of LESSOR, the insurance requirements set
forth in this Section 13 shall be varied as may be mutually agreed so as to
include such additional or varied requirements to be effected pursuant to the
terms of this Section 13, and as so varied, shall provide the same protection to
LESSOR as it would have done had such change in generally accepted industry-wide
practice not occurred. If any such change in generally accepted industry-wide
practice would enable LESSEE, but for the requirements in this Section 13, to
reduce its expenditures in relation to all or any of the types of insurance
required to be effected pursuant to the terms of this Section 13 without, in the
reasonable opinion of LESSOR and Lender, prejudicing the interest of LESSOR
and/or Lender, the insurance requirements in this Section 13 shall be amended to
take account of such change in generally accepted industry-wide practice to the
extent required to enable LESSEE to reduce such expenditures, provided, however,
that in no event shall such public liability insurance coverage set forth in
Section 14 be less than Three Hundred Fifty Million (US$350,000,000) Dollars.

                                   SECTION 14

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

            (A) LESSEE agrees to indemnify, reimburse, and hold harmless the
Indemnitees from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities,
demands, suits, judgments, causes of action, legal proceedings, whether civil or
criminal, penalties, fines, other sanctions, and any costs and expenses in
connection herewith, including attorney's fees and expenses (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 the
Aircraft or this Lease, arising out of events occurring on or subsequent to the
Effective Date through and including the date this Lease terminates and all
obligations of LESSEE have been fully and satisfactorily performed, or the
breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by LESSEE hereunder,
including, but not limited to, (i) the condition, ownership, manufacture,
delivery, non-delivery, lease, acceptance,

<PAGE>

                                                                              45

rejection, possession, return, disposition, use, or operation of the Aircraft
either in the air or on the ground; or (ii) any defect in the Aircraft 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
such Aircraft, regardless of when such defect shall be discovered (including,
but not limited to, infringement of patent or other right or latent and other
defects whether or not discoverable by LESSEE or LESSOR), whether or not such
Aircraft is at the time in the possession of LESSEE, and regardless of where
such Aircraft may then be located; or (iii) this Lease or any other transaction,
approval, or document contemplated hereby or given or entered into in connection
herewith; provided, however, that LESSEE shall be subrogated to all rights and
remedies which LESSOR may have against the Manufacturer or Engine Manufacturer.

            LESSEE hereby waives and releases any claim now or hereafter
existing against any Indemnitee, on account of any Claims 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 leasing, condition, use, or operation of the Aircraft, either in the air or
on the ground during the Base Term hereof, or which may be caused during such
Base Term by any defect in such Aircraft from any 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 such Aircraft regardless
of when such defect may be discovered, whether or not such Aircraft is at the
time in the possession of LESSEE, and regardless of the location of such
Aircraft at any such time.

            Without limitation upon LESSEE's liability under this Section 14,
LESSEE hereby agrees to indemnify, reimburse, and hold each Indemnitee harmless
from any Claims in any manner imposed upon or accruing against each Indemnitee
because of the manufacture of the Aircraft, any originally manufactured design
or design incorporated prior to the operation of the Aircraft by LESSEE, any
change or alteration of design by LESSEE, or material therein or relating
thereto, because of infringement of patent or any other right. With respect to
any claim for infringement of patent or any other right which is alleged to have
occurred prior to LESSEE leasing the Aircraft, LESSEE's indemnification
obligation with respect to such claims shall be limited to claims that are
asserted during the Base Term of this Lease or any extension thereof. The
foregoing limitation shall not apply to claims for infringement of patent or any
other right which is alleged to have occurred at any time during the Base Term
or any extension thereof regardless of when such claims are asserted.

            LESSEE hereby agrees, and shall have the right, to assume and
conduct, promptly and diligently, at its sole cost and expense, the entire
defense of any Indemnitee against any such Claims, and any claim, suit, or
action for which any Indemnitee is required to assume liability.

            LESSOR agrees to give LESSEE prompt notice of any

<PAGE>

                                                                              46

Claim hereunder following LESSOR's actual knowledge of such Claim. The failure
of LESSOR to give the notice required by this Section 14 of any Claim shall not
constitute a release by LESSOR or the Indemnitees of any obligations of LESSEE
to any Indemnitees in respect of any such Claim, unless LESSEE is materially
adversely affected solely by such failure of LESSOR to give such notice. No
settlement of any Claim by an Indemnitee may be made without the consent of
LESSEE, which consent or withholding of consent shall be promptly noticed to
LESSOR and the Indemnitee seeking indemnification. LESSEE may only withhold
consent to a proposed settlement of a Claim if LESSEE posts a bond issued by a
reputable bonding or insurance company reasonably satisfactory to LESSOR, in an
amount not less than the full amount of the Claim together with interest and
penalties, if any, thereon.

            The indemnifications contained in this Section 14 shall continue in
full force and effect notwithstanding any expiration or other termination of
this Lease and are expressly made for the benefit of and shall be enforceable by
each Indemnitee and their respective successors and assigns.

            (B) EXCEPTIONS. In no event shall the indemnity provided for in
Section 14(A) extend to any Claim or disbursement of any Indemnitee resulting
from, pertaining to or arising in any manner out of, or in any manner relating
to, the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnitee.

                                   SECTION 15

                                      LIENS

            LESSEE shall not directly or indirectly create, incur, assume, or
suffer to exist any Lien on or with respect to the Aircraft, title thereto, any
interest therein, this Lease or any interest therein, except Permitted Liens.
LESSEE shall promptly, at its own expense, take such action as may be necessary
to duly discharge any Lien (except for Permitted Liens) directly or indirectly
created, incurred, assumed or suffered to exist by LESSEE if the same shall
arise at any time with respect to the Aircraft, title thereto, any interest
therein, this Lease or any interest therein.

                                   SECTION 16

                   PERFECTION OF TITLE AND FURTHER ASSURANCES

            (A) Except through the action or inaction of LESSOR or Lender after
due notice and request having been made upon them, if, at any time, any filing
or recording is reasonably necessary to protect the interest of LESSOR or
Lender, LESSEE shall, at its own cost and expense, cause this Lease, any
assignment of this Lease, any security agreement with respect to the Aircraft,
financing statements with respect thereto, and any and all additional
instruments which shall be executed pursuant to the terms hereof,

<PAGE>

                                                                              47

so far as permitted by applicable Law, to be kept, filed and recorded and to be
re-executed, re-filed and re-recorded at all times in the appropriate office
pursuant or in relation to any Laws of any Governmental Entity, as LESSOR and/or
Lender may request, to perfect, protect, and/or preserve the rights and
interests of LESSOR and Lender, respectively, hereunder and in the Aircraft, and
LESSEE shall furnish to LESSOR and Lender evidence satisfactory to LESSOR and
Lender of each such filing, re-filing, recordation and re-recordation.

            (B) 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 Convention on the International Recognition of
Rights in Aircraft ("Mortgage Convention") to perfect and preserve the title of
LESSOR to the Aircraft and the security interest of Lender in the Aircraft
(assuming, that with respect to the U.S. registration of the Aircraft, LESSOR
meets the citizenship requirements for such registration) within the
jurisdiction of any signatory which has ratified the Mortgage Convention, as
LESSOR and/or Lender 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 jurisdictions in which LESSEE
will operate, or any and all acts and things which LESSOR and/or Lender may
reasonably request to perfect and preserve LESSOR's ownership rights and
Lender's security interest regarding the Aircraft within any such jurisdiction.

            (C) LESSEE will not suffer any matter or thing whatsoever whereby
the LESSOR's title and the Lender's security interest in and to, the Aircraft
may be impaired.

                                   SECTION 17

                         RETURN OF AIRCRAFT AND RECORDS

            (A) RETURN. On the Expiration Date, or pursuant to Section 19 hereof
(such date or event being hereinafter referred to as a "Return Occasion"),
LESSEE, at its own expense, on or prior to the Return Occasion, shall return
such Aircraft to LESSOR at the Return Location or such other location as may be
mutually agreed upon by LESSOR and LESSEE, fully equipped as delivered or
modified as provided hereunder with all required Engines installed thereon.

            (B) RECORDS. Upon a Return Occasion applicable to the Aircraft,
LESSEE, at its own expense, shall deliver to LESSOR all Aircraft Documents
listed in Exhibit "B", as updated, amended or supplemented along with such other
records and documents in such form as are necessary to qualify the Aircraft for
the issuance, at LESSOR's election, of an Export Certificate of Airworthiness
issued by the Air Authority or the issuance by the FAA of an FAA Standard
Airworthiness Certificate so as to permit operation of the Aircraft under the
Act and FAR Part 121. Such records and manuals shall be current and shall
constitute an accurate representation of the

<PAGE>

                                                                              48

condition of the Aircraft.

            (C) CONDITION OF AIRCRAFT. Upon a Return Occasion applicable to the
Aircraft, LESSEE shall return the Aircraft to LESSOR in such condition so that
the Aircraft shall: (1) comply with each and every return condition requirement
set forth in Exhibit "H" hereto; (2) have accomplished all work necessary to
obtain a valid Certificate of Airworthiness for Export or Standard
Airworthiness Certificate (other than (i) having TCAS and windshear detection
systems installed, (ii) complying with Stage III noise requirements, subject to
the provisions of Section 8(C) of this Lease, and (iii) a fresh B check if the
Aircraft was not delivered to LESSEE with a fresh C check (or a fresh C check if
the Aircraft was delivered by LESSOR to LESSEE fresh from a C check), as LESSOR
shall elect, in each case issued by the FAA; and (3) shall be free and clear
of all Liens, except LESSOR's Liens and Liens which may have existed prior to
the Effective Date and were not created by or consented to by LESSEE.

            (D) FINAL INSPECTION. Upon or next preceding a Return Occasion with
respect to the Aircraft hereunder, LESSEE shall make such Aircraft available to
LESSOR not less than ten (10) days prior to the date of the Return Occasion for
detailed inspection in order to verify that the condition of such Aircraft
complies with the requirements set forth above (such inspection being
hereinafter referred to as the "Final Inspection"). Such Final Inspection may be
scheduled at an appropriate maintenance facility of the Authorized Maintenance
Performer then performing maintenance of such Aircraft, pursuant to Subsection
7(D) hereof, and LESSEE shall give LESSOR not less than ten (10) days' prior
written notice of the location and commencement date of such Final Inspection.
The period allowed for the Final Inspection shall, if necessary, be extended so
as to have such duration as to permit the performance of all of the following,
each of which must occur during such period:

                (1) a B check performed in accordance with LESSEE's Maintenance
            Program;

                (2) the opening, in order to verify any aspect of the condition
            of any area of the Aircraft which would normally be accessible
            during the maintenance check being performed, or at LESSOR's
            request, the opening of any areas of the Aircraft if LESSOR
            reasonably believes, based on prior inspections or other evidence,
            that opening of such areas would reveal that the Aircraft does not
            completely comply with the requirements of this Section 17 and
            Exhibit "H"; and

                (3) No less than three (3) of LESSOR's representatives shall be
            permitted to attend each phase of activity required to be conducted
            during the Final Inspection. A Final Inspection shall commence on or
            before the date of a Return Occasion with respect to the Aircraft
            and shall continue on consecutive days until all activity required
            pursuant to the terms of Exhibit "H" and

<PAGE>

                                                                              49

            the above provisions have been concluded. To the extent that any
            portion of the Final Inspection extends beyond the date of a
            Return Occasion, the Base Term with respect to the Aircraft
            undergoing the Final Inspection shall be deemed to be
            automatically extended (but LESSEE shall have no right to operate
            the Aircraft during such time except in connection with any
            required re-delivery test flights), and the LESSEE shall be
            obligated to continue to insure the Aircraft, in accordance with
            the provisions of this Lease, and to pay Rent hereunder on a
            daily basis, calculated at a daily rate equal to 1/15 of the
            Basic Rent, until the Final Inspection shall have been concluded
            (provided, however, that LESSEE's shall have no obligation to pay
            Basic Rent beyond the originally scheduled Expiration Date if
            the Final Inspection is not completed on or before the
            Expiration Date due to LESSOR's failure to timely appear for
            such inspection unless such failure is caused by LESSEE denying
            access to the Aircraft and/or Aircraft documents at a time when
            same were to be made available to LESSOR or if LESSEE
            unreasonably interferes with such Final Inspection by LESSOR).
            All storage expenses attributable to any extension of the Base
            Term pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be payable by
            LESSEE.

            (E) AIRCRAFT DOCUMENTATION. In order to enable LESSOR to prepare for
its Final Inspection of the Aircraft pursuant to Subsection 17(D) above, LESSEE
agrees to make available at LESSEE's maintenance base to LESSOR, not later than
ten (10) days prior to the commencement of such Final Inspection, the Aircraft
Documents listed in Exhibit "B" hereto, together with such other documentation
regarding the condition, use, maintenance, operation and history of the Aircraft
as LESSOR may reasonably request.

            (F) LESSEE'S CORRECTION AND SUBSEQUENT CORRECTIONS. To the extent
that the Aircraft, any Engine or any of the Aircraft Documents fails upon a
Return Occasion to conform to any requirement imposed by Section 17 hereof and
Exhibit "H", LESSOR may, at its option:

                (1) continue the Lease in effect in the manner provided for in
            Subsection 17(D)(3) above with regard to automatic extension with
            respect to such Aircraft until such time as the nonconforming items
            are corrected; or

                (2) request LESSEE to pay, and LESSEE shall pay to LESSOR, an
            amount equal to the amount required (labor and materials) by the
            then current Authorized Maintenance Performer or any other Person
            designated by LESSOR, as the case may be, to correct such
            nonconforming items. Any such amount payable by LESSEE to LESSOR for
            such correction shall become Supplemental Rent, payable by LESSEE
            within five (5) days following the submission of a written statement
            by LESSOR to LESSEE identifying the items corrected or to be
            corrected and setting forth the expense of such correction. LESSEE's
            obligation to pay

<PAGE>

                                                                              50

            such Supplemental Rent shall survive the passage of the early
            termination of the Base Term or other termination of this Lease.
            In addition to the foregoing, but subject to Sections A(ix) and
            (xi) of Exhibit "H", and under the same payment terms, LESSEE,
            with regard to any time-limited component installed on such
            Aircraft which does not satisfy the return condition requirements
            of this Section 17 and Exhibit "H" upon a Return Occasion, shall
            pay LESSOR, at the time of a Return Occasion, an amount equal to
            the amount which would be required to be paid to the Person
            selected by LESSOR for putting such item in such condition.

            (G) DISPUTE AS TO COMPLIANCE WITH RETURN CONDITIONS. Should there be
any dispute as to whether the Aircraft meets the return conditions, the matter
shall be resolved by an independent knowledgeable aviation maintenance expert
reasonably acceptable to LESSOR and LESSEE.

                                   SECTION 18

                                EVENTS OF DEFAULT

            Each of the following events shall constitute a Default and after
the applicable grace, notice or cure period, if any, an Event of Default:

this Lease and such payment shall remain unpaid for a period of three (3) days
from the due date;

            (B) LESSEE shall fail to carry and maintain insurance on or with
respect to the Aircraft in accordance with the provisions of Section 13 hereof
or shall operate the Aircraft or permit the Aircraft to be operated in violation
of any insurance policy required to be provided pursuant to Section 13 hereof;

            (C) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 18 and
Subsection 18(B) above, for which no notice is required, LESSEE shall fail to
perform or observe any covenant, condition or agreement to be performed or
observed by LESSEE under the Lease and such failure shall continue for a period
of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from LESSOR to LESSEE;

            (D) Any representation or warranty made by LESSEE herein, or in any
notice, certificate or other document furnished by or on behalf of LESSEE herein
to LESSOR or its assigns, shall prove to have been incorrect in any material
respect when made;

            (E) LESSEE or AirGroup shall consent to the appointment of a
receiver, trustee or liquidator for itself or for a substantial part of its
property, or LESSEE or AirGroup shall admit in writing its inability to pay its
debts generally as they become due, or shall make a general assignment for the
benefit of creditors, or LESSEE or AirGroup shall file a voluntary petition in

<PAGE>

                                                                              51

bankruptcy or a voluntary petition or answer seeking reorganization in a
proceeding under any Laws dealing with bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or
creditors' rights generally (any or all of which are hereinafter referred to as
"Bankruptcy Laws"), or an answer admitting the material allegations of a
petition filed against LESSEE or AirGroup in any such proceeding, or LESSEE or
AirGroup shall by voluntary petition, answer or consent to or seek relief under
the provisions of any Bankruptcy Laws;

            (F) An order, judgment or decree shall be entered by any court of
competent jurisdiction appointing, without the consent of LESSEE or AirGroup, as
the case may be, a receiver, trustee or liquidator for LESSEE or AirGroup or any
substantial part of its property, or any substantial part of the property of
LESSEE or AirGroup shall be sequestered, and any such order, judgment, decree or
appointment, or sequestration, shall remain in force undismissed, unstayed or
unvacated for a period of sixty (60) days after the date of entry thereof;

            (G) A petition against LESSEE or AirGroup in a proceeding under the
Bankruptcy Laws of any Governmental Entity shall be filed and shall not be
withdrawn or dismissed within sixty (60) days thereafter, or if, under the
provisions of any Bankruptcy Laws which may apply to LESSEE or AirGroup, any
court of competent jurisdiction shall assume jurisdiction, custody or control of
LESSEE or AirGroup or of any substantial part of its property, and such
jurisdiction, custody or control shall remain in force unrelinquished, unstayed

enable LESSEE to perform or comply with its obligations under the Lease shall
fail to be timely issued, granted or made, or shall expire or lapse and shall
not be forthwith renewed or extended or shall be revoked, withdrawn, withheld or
adversely modified, or shall cease to be in full force and effect;

Entity, or LESSEE or AirGroup shall be prevented from exercising normal control
over all or a substantial part of its properties and the events as set forth in
this Subsection 18(K) are tot remedied within sixty (60) days after they occur;

<PAGE>

                                                                              52

            (L) LESSEE shall fail to pay when due any obligation for the payment
of money in excess of Four Hundred Thousand (US$400,000) Dollars under any
agreement to which LESSEE is a party where such failure would constitute an
event of default thereunder or permit the party to whom such payment was owed
(hereinafter referred to as a "Creditor") to exercise remedies under such
agreement as a result of such non-payment; provided, however, that the foregoing
shall only constitute a Default and not an Event of Default hereunder for the
period of time that the Creditor states in a letter, addressed to and delivered
to LESSOR, that it irrevocably agrees for such period of time to forebear from
the exercise of remedies or the taking of other action against LESSEE (the
"Forbearance Period") as a result of such non-payment of money. Upon the
expiration of the Forbearance Period, unless such period has been extended by
the Creditor (but in no event may the Forbearance Period, in the aggregate, be
greater than sixty (60) days from the original due date for such payment),
unless LESSEE has delivered to LESSOR written confirmation from the Creditor
that it has been paid in full or has otherwise waived its claim against LESSEE
or has otherwise settled with LESSEE, the Default set forth in this subsection
(L) shall automatically and without any further action on the part of LESSOR be
deemed to constitute an Event of Default hereunder;

            (M) LESSEE shall voluntarily suspend all or substantially all of its
commercial revenue passenger operations, or the franchises, concessions,
permits, licenses, rights or privileges required for the conduct of the
commercial revenue passenger 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 the principal business activity of
LESSEE shall cease to be that of commercial revenue passenger airline;

            (N) If for any reason or at any time AirGroup owns less than seventy
percent (70%) of the outstanding voting stock of LESSEE; or

            (O) An "Event of Default" shall occur and be continuing under any
other lease agreement entered into between LESSOR or Beneficiary (or any
affiliated or related entity to LESSOR or Beneficiary) and LESSEE.

                                   SECTION 19

                                    REMEDIES

            Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, and at any time
thereafter so long as the same shall be continuing, LESSOR may, at its option,
declare this Lease to be in default, and at any time thereafter, so long as
LESSEE shall not have remedied any outstanding Event of Default, LESSOR may
exercise one or more of the following remedies with respect to the Aircraft as
LESSOR, in its sole discretion, shall elect, to the extent available and

<PAGE>

                                                                              53

permitted by, and subject to compliance with, any mandatory requirements of
applicable Law then in effect; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that upon the occurrence of
any Event of Default specified in paragraphs (E), (F), (G) or (H) of Section 18,
LESSOR shall be entitled automatically, as of the day prior to such occurrence,
to exercise any of the following remedies without declaring this Lease to be in
default or 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, at LESSEE's expense, return the Aircraft and Aircraft Documents promptly
to LESSOR in the manner and condition required by, and otherwise in accordance
with all of the provisions of, Section 17 and Exhibit "H" hereof; or 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 and Aircraft Documents are
located and take immediate possession of and remove the same, by summary
proceedings or otherwise, all without liability accruing to LESSOR for or by
reason of such entry or taking of possession, whether for the restoration of
damage to property caused by such taking or otherwise;

            (B) Sell the Aircraft at public or private sale, as LESSOR may
determine, or otherwise dispose of, hold, use, operate, lease to others, or keep
idle the Aircraft, as LESSOR, in its sole discretion, may determine, all free
and clear of any rights of LESSEE and without any duty to account to LESSEE with
respect to such action or inaction, or for any proceeds with respect thereto;

            (C) Demand (whether or not LESSOR, pursuant to Subsection 19(B)
hereof, may have sold the Aircraft) that LESSEE pay LESSOR, and LESSEE shall
upon such demand pay to LESSOR, as liquidated damages for loss of a bargain and
not as a penalty (in lieu of the Rent for such Aircraft due after such payment
occurs), any accrued and unpaid Rent for such Aircraft due up to the time LESSOR
demands such payment, plus the amount by which the fair market value of such
Aircraft (assuming the condition of the Aircraft and the Aircraft Documents
fully and satisfactorily meets all of the return conditions set forth herein and
on Exhibit "H") exceeds the net cash proceeds of any sale of such Aircraft,
together with interest at the Overdue Rate on such fair market value or portion
thereof and such unpaid Rent from the date of LESSOR's demand to the date such
payment is made;

            (D) Proceed by appropriate court action or actions, either at Law or
in equity, to enforce performance by LESSEE of the applicable obligations and
covenants of LESSEE under this Lease and to recover damages for the breach
thereof, or to rescind this Lease as to the Aircraft;

            (E) Terminate this Lease or any of LESSEE's rights hereunder by
written notice, and repossess the Aircraft and Aircraft Documents, provided such
termination shall not release LESSEE from its financial obligations hereunder or
any other obligations hereunder which can be satisfied by the payment of money
(including the payment of money for the performance of

<PAGE>

                                                                              54

services);

            (F) Apply all or any part of the Security Deposit then held by
LESSOR hereunder toward satisfaction of any obligations of LESSEE hereunder; or

            (G) Exercise any and all other rights and remedies provided for
under applicable law whether or not such rights and remedies are specifically
enumerated herein.

            Further, should the LESSEE fail to return the Aircraft and Aircraft
Documents upon termination of the Lease for any reason whatsoever except due to
an Event of Loss and as set forth in Subsection 17(F), without prejudice to
LESSOR's rights hereunder to demand return of the Aircraft in the condition
required by this Section, LESSEE shall continue to pay Rent to LESSOR for each
day the Aircraft remains in LESSEE's possession at the rate of 1/15 of the
monthly Basic Rent then in effect.

            In addition, LESSEE shall be liable for any and all unpaid Rent due
hereunder before or during the exercise of any of the foregoing remedies, and
for all attorneys' fees, legal expenses and other costs and expenses incurred by
LESSOR, Lender or their respective representatives or agents 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 17 and
Exhibit "H" hereof, or with placing such Aircraft in such condition.

            Except as otherwise expressly provided above, no remedy referred to
in this Section 19 is intended to be exclusive, but each shall be cumulative and
in addition to any other remedy referred to above or otherwise available to
LESSOR under any applicable Law, and the exercise or commencement of exercising
by LESSOR of any one or more of such remedies shall not preclude the
simultaneous or later exercise by LESSOR of any or all such other remedies. No
express or 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. LESSEE hereby agrees that, except as provided in this
Section 19, any financing profit or savings accruing to LESSOR by virtue of
LESSEE's default and LESSOR's subsequent sale, re-letting, or award shall in no
way reduce, offset or mitigate the damages for which LESSEE is liable hereunder.

            To facilitate LESSOR in the termination of this Lease and the
exercise of its remedies upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of
Default, LESSEE hereby appoints LESSOR as LESSEE's irrevocable agent and
attorney-in-fact, pursuant to the Power of Attorney attached hereto as Exhibit
"E", to execute all documents deemed necessary to release, terminate and void
LESSEE's interest in the Aircraft leased hereunder and to otherwise enable
and/or assist LESSOR in the exercise of its remedies hereunder, and to file said
documents for recordation with the FAA and any other appropriate Governmental
Entity following the occurrence of an Event of Default, where LESSOR, at its

discretion, may deem use of such Power of Attorney necessary to effect any
remedy which LESSOR chooses to exercise.

                                   SECTION 20

                                   ALIENATION

            (A) There shall be no restriction upon LESSOR's right to assign,
sell, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or encumber any interest of LESSOR
(hereinafter referred to generally as "Alienation") to any other Person in the
Aircraft, this Lease and/or the proceeds thereof and hereof, subject to rights
of the LESSEE under the provisions of this Lease and provided that any such
assignment, sale, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or encumbrance does not have a
material adverse affect on LESSEE's obligations hereunder or adversely affect
the registration of the Aircraft or the quiet enjoyment of the LESSEE therein
pursuant to this Lease. To effect or facilitate any such assignment, sale,
transfer, pledge, hypothecation or encumbrance, LESSEE agrees to provide LESSOR
or LESSOR's designee or assignee with such agreements, consents, conveyances or
documents as may be reasonably requested by LESSOR. The agreements,
representations, warranties, covenants, obligations and liabilities contained
herein, including, but not limited to, all obligations to pay Rent and indemnify
LESSOR, are made for the benefit of LESSOR, any security assignee of LESSOR and
their respective successors and assigns, notwithstanding the possibility that
any such Person was not originally a party to this Lease or may, at the time
such enforcement is sought, not be a party to this Lease.

            (B) In the case of any Alienation or assignment by LESSOR pursuant
to the provisions of Section 20, LESSEE shall execute and deliver to LESSOR
promptly upon request of LESSOR, any consents or agreements required for the
perfection of such assignment provided that such consent or other documents does
not affect LESSEE's rights under Subsection 21(G) below.

                                   SECTION 21

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

            (A) SEVERABILITY, AMENDMENT 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, and any
such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or
render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. No term or
provision of this Lease may be changed, waived, discharged, or terminated
orally, but only by an instrument in writing expressed to be a supplement to
this Lease, signed by an officer of the party against which the enforcement of
the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. This Lease shall
constitute an agreement of lease for the Base Term of the Lease, and nothing
herein shall be

                                                                              56

construed as conveying to LESSEE any right, title or interest in the
Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine or Part except as a LESSEE only, for such
Base Term. The headings in this Lease are for convenience of reference only
and shall not define or limit any of the terms or provisions hereof. Unless
the context otherwise requires, all references in this Lease to designated
Sections or other subdivisions hereof are to such designated Sections or
subdivisions; and the words "herein", "hereof", "hereto", "hereunder", and
other words of similar import refer to this instrument as a whole and not to
any particular Section or subdivision. In construing any provision of this
Lease, no account shall be taken as to the party who drafted same and no
presumption shall arise or result therefrom.

            (B) GOVERNING LAW. This Lease shall in all respects be governed by,
and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New York with respect
to contracts made and to be entirely performed in such State by residents
thereof.

            (C) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. LESSEE AND LESSOR HEREBY WAIVE, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN
ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY EITHER PARTY HERETO WITH RESPECT TO
THE CONSTRUCTION OR ENFORCEMENT OF THIS LEASE OF ANY PROVISION HEREOF.

            (D) NOTICE. Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices,
requests, demands, consents or other communications to, upon or by the
respective parties hereto shall be in the English language and in writing, sent
by international recognized express courier or telefax, and shall be deemed to
have been duly given or made when received by the party if sent by telefax or
when received by the party, if sent by express courier, addressed to the party
to which such notice, request, demand or other communication is required or
permitted to be given or made hereunder, at the LESSEE'S Address or LESSOR'S
Address (with a copy to Beneficiary at Beneficiary's Address), as the case may
be, or at such other address of which such Person shall have notified in writing
the party giving such notice.

            (E) LESSOR'S RIGHT TO PERFORM FOR LESSEE. If LESSEE fails to make
any payment of Supplemental Rent 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 perform 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 Overdue Rate, shall be deemed Supplemental Rent, payable by LESSEE upon
demand. The taking of any such action by LESSOR pursuant to this Subsection
21(E) shall not constitute a waiver or release of any obligation of LESSEE under
the Lease, nor a waiver of any Default or 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.

                                                                              57

            (F) COUNTERPARTS. This Lease may be executed simultaneously in one
or more counterparts, all of which together shall constitute one and the same
Lease. To the extent that this Lease constitutes chattel paper in any
jurisdiction, no security interest herein may be created through the transfer of
possession of any counterpart other than the counterpart marked "Original."
Other than the counterpart of this Lease marked "Original," all other original
executed counterparts of this Lease shall be marked "Duplicate Original."

            (G) QUIET ENJOYMENT. LESSOR covenants that if, and as long as, no
Event of Default hereunder has occurred and is continuing, LESSEE shall quietly
enjoy the Aircraft without interference by LESSOR or by any Person claiming by,
through or under LESSOR, or by any assignee of LESSOR, and neither LESSOR nor
any Person claiming by, through or under LESSOR, or any assignee of LESSOR will,
as long as no Event of Default hereunder has occurred and is continuing, take
any action which adversely affects the registration of the Aircraft.

            (H) BROKERS. LESSOR and LESSEE each agree that there has been no
third party as broker or finder involved in the introduction of LESSOR and
LESSEE with respect to this Lease or the subject matter or negotiation hereof
and each party hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold harmless the other party
from liability for fees, commissions or other claims made upon such other party
due to such claims arising through it.

            (I) JURISDICTION, SERVICE OF PROCESS. The parties hereto hereby
expressly submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District
Court for the Southern District of New York sitting in New York County, New
York, with respect to any action arising out of or relating to this Lease. In
connection with the foregoing, LESSEE hereby appoints CT Corporation System
whose address is currently at 1633 Broadway, New York, New York 10019, as its
lawful agent and attorney ("LESSEE's Process Agent") upon whom all service of
summonses and other legal processes may be made with respect to any action. The
LESSEE's Process Agent is hereby authorized and directed to accept by and on
behalf of LESSEE summonses and other legal processes against LESSEE. This
appointment of LESSEE's Process Agent is irrevocable by LESSEE and coupled with
an interest, and if LESSEE's Process Agent revokes such relationship LESSEE
shall, prior to the effective date of such revocation, appoint a successor,
which successor shall be approved by LESSOR and Lender. LESSEE shall, prior to
any change of the address of LESSEE's Process Agent, notify LESSOR and Lender in
writing of such new address.

            LESSOR hereby appoints Feltman, Karesh, Major & Farbman, whose
address is currently at 152 West 57th Street, New York, New York 10019, as its
lawful agent and attorney ("LESSOR's Process Agent") upon whom all service of
summonses and other legal processes may be made with respect to any action. The
LESSOR's Process Agent is hereby authorized and directed to accept by and on
behalf of LESSOR summonses and other legal processes against LESSOR. This
appointment of LESSOR's Process Agent is irrevocable

<PAGE>

                                                                              58

by LESSOR and coupled with an interest, and if LESSOR's Process Agent revokes
such relationship LESSOR shall, prior to the effective date of such
revocation, appoint a successor, which successor shall be approved by LESSEE.
LESSOR shall, prior to any change of the address of LESSOR's Process Agent,
notify LESSEE in writing of such new address.

            The parties hereto, to the fullest extent available under applicable
Law, waive any claim that venue or jurisdiction is improper in such court or
that such court constitutes an inconvenient forum. Service of summons, complaint
and other legal process on LESSOR or LESSEE with respect to any action arising
out of or relating to this Lease may be made by mailing (registered mail, return
receipt requested) a copy of any summons or other legal process to said Party at
the LESSEE's Address or LESSOR's Address, as the case may be, or by any other
procedure permitted under the Laws of the United States of America.

            The mailing, as herein provided, of such summons or other legal
process shall be deemed personal service and accepted by LESSEE or LESSOR as
such, and shall be legal, effective and binding upon LESSEE or LESSOR for all
the purposes of the suit.

            Nothing in this Subsection 21(I) shall in any way be deemed to limit
the ability of LESSOR or LESSEE to serve any such summons or legal process in
any other manner permitted by applicable Law or to obtain jurisdiction over the
other party in such other jurisdictions, and in such manner, as may be permitted
by applicable Law.

            (J) STORAGE OF AIRCRAFT. Upon the expiration or termination of this
Lease, provided that the final maintenance check prior to return is accomplished
at LESSEE's Honolulu maintenance base or the return location is Honolulu, LESSEE
shall provide storage facilities for the Aircraft at a location where LESSEE has
storage facilities for a period not to exceed sixty (60) days (the "Storage
Period"). During the Storage Period, LESSOR shall bear the risk of loss of the
Aircraft and shall pay maintenance, insurance and other costs (except for the
cost of the storage facilities provided by LESSEE) with respect to the Aircraft.
Upon the expiration of the Storage Period, LESSEE shall cooperate with LESSOR by
flying the Aircraft to the Return Location.

            (K) EXPENSES. Unless otherwise specifically provided for to the
contrary, LESSOR and LESSEE shall each bear their own expenses in connection
with this transaction, including, but not limited to the fees and expenses of
counsel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, LESSOR and LESSEE shall each be
responsible for one-half of the fees and expenses of FAA counsel.

                                   SECTION 22

                              SUBLEASE; ASSIGNMENT

<PAGE>

                                                                              59

            (A) LESSEE may sublease the Aircraft to any Air Carrier provided
that (i) such Air Carrier at the time of such subleasing is solvent and is not
in receivership or subject to the jurisdiction of any bankruptcy court, (ii)
that LESSOR and Lender have consented to such subleasing, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld, and (iii) that LESSOR's title in and to the Aircraft and
the security interest of Lender in and to the Aircraft and this Lease remain
fully perfected and protected and LESSOR and its Lender receive satisfactory
legal opinions with respect thereto. LESSEE shall be responsible for all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by LESSOR and Lender in connection with
any subleasing of the Aircraft, including, but not limited to, the reasonable
fees and expenses of counsel to LESSOR.

            (B) Any sublease consented to by LESSOR shall contain, among other
things, the following terms and conditions:

                (1) That such sublease is subject to and subordinate to this
Lease;

                (2) The sublease shall not relieve the LESSEE of its obligations
under this Lease and the LESSEE shall continue to be primarily liable hereunder;

                (3) The terms of such sublease shall be no less favorable to the
lessor thereunder than the terms of this Lease; and

                (4) The rights of the lessor in any Sublease (including, but not
limited to security deposits and maintenance reserves payable thereunder) shall
be assigned to LESSOR and/or its Lender.

            (C) All of LESSEE's obligations hereunder may be performed by any
approved sublessee, provided however that the LESSEE shall not be released from
its obligations hereunder.

            (D) Nothing set forth in this Section 22 shall constitute, or be
deemed to constitute, a consent by LESSOR to the assignment by LESSEE, in whole
or in part, of this Lease or the rights and obligations of LESSEE thereunder.
Any assignment or purported assignment, in whole or in part of this Lease or the
rights and obligations of LESSEE hereunder shall be null and void and of no
force and effect unless the prior written consent of LESSOR and Lender to such
assignment had been obtained.

                                   SECTION 23

                                 EXCUSABLE DELAY

            LESSOR or LESSEE shall not be responsible for, nor be deemed to be
in default under this Lease on account of any delay in delivery of the Aircraft
or commencement of this Lease due to any of the following causes:

<PAGE>

                                                                              60

                (a) acts of God; war, war-like operations, insurrections or
riots; fires, floods, explosions, earthquakes or serious accidents; epidemics or
quarantine restrictions; any act of government, governmental priorities,
allocation regulations or orders affecting materials, facilities or completed
aircraft; strikes or labor troubles causing cessation, slowdown or interruption
of work; or inability after due and timely diligence to procure materials,
accessories or equipment prior to delivery (including, without limitation, the
Aircraft);

                (b) damage to the Aircraft which can reasonably be repaired,
provided Lufthansa or its agent will promptly perform such repair work;

                (c) Lufthansa's delay in delivery of the Aircraft to LESSOR for
whatever reason, including, but not limited to, delay caused by an aircraft
manufacturer's failure to deliver a replacement aircraft on time; or

                (d) correction of discrepancies evidenced during the Delivery
Check, ground inspection or demonstration flight of the Aircraft, provided
Lufthansa is promptly and diligently correcting same.

            Should an excusable delay continue beyond August 15, 1996, LESSOR
and LESSEE shall each have the right to terminate this Lease, without liability
or further obligation to the other (other than the return of the Security
Deposit by LESSOR to LESSEE); provided, however, that any time after the
sixtieth day if a rescheduled Delivery Date has been established and the Lease
has not theretofore been terminated, neither LESSOR nor LESSEE shall have any
right to terminate the Lease during the fifteen (15) day period preceding the
rescheduled Delivery Date.

                                   SECTION 24

                                ENTIRE AGREEMENT

agreement and understanding between LESSOR and LESSEE relating to the subject
matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating
hereto and neither of the parties hereto shall be bound by or charged with any
oral or written agreements, representations, warranties, statements, promises or
understandings not specifically set forth herein. This Lease may not be changed
and no right granted or obligation imposed hereunder may be waived orally, but

any waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought.

                                RETURN CONDITIONS

        A.  The Aircraft will be redelivered in accordance with Section 17 of

efforts to deliver the Aircraft equipment without LESSEE's special markings;

            (viii) have accomplished all maintenance items (including, but not
limited to having fully accomlished all required corrossion prevention controls,
treatments, repairs and inspections in accordance with LESSEE's FAA approved
CPCP program) except items permitted to be deferred in accordance with LESSEE's

            (ix) The Airframe shall be returned fresh from a B check performed
in accordance with LESSEE's Maintenance Program. Further, the Airframe shall
have an equal or greater amount of time remaining as when delivered to the next
scheduled D check, but with respect to the D check shall in all events have not
less than 3,000 flight hours remaining (as determined under LESSEE's maintenance
program) to the next scheduled D check. In the event that the Aircraft has more
or less time remaining to the next D check than it had remaining on the
Effective Date, D Check Compensation shall be paid in accordance with the
following formula and paid by the

<PAGE>

                                                                              80

relevant party in relation to any difference. If the D Check Compensation, as
calculated below, is a positive number, then, so long as no Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, LESSOR will pay to LESSEE such D Check
Compensation. If the D Check Compensation, as calculated below is a negative
number, then LESSEE will pay to LESSOR such D Check Compensation.

            (a) D CHECK COMPENSATION. The "D Check Compensation" shall be
calculated as follows:

                                 [A1-A2/B] x C

                 "A1" is the total number of Flight Hours/Cycles (whichever is
applicable and the more limiting factor) remaining on the Aircraft until the
next scheduled D check in accordance with LESSEE's FAA approved maintenance
program as of the Return Occasion.

                 "A2" is the total number of Flight Hours/Cycles (whichever is
applicable and the more limiting factor) remaining on the Aircraft until the
next scheduled D check in accordance with LESSEE's FAA approved maintenance
program as of the Effective Date.

                 "B" is the total number of Flight Hours/Cycles (whichever is
applicable and the more limiting factor) between scheduled D checks in
accordance with LESSEE's FAA approved maintenance program.

                 "C" is the cost for the next D check of the Aircraft in
accordance with LESSEE's FAA approved maintenance program as mutually agreed to
by LESSOR and LESSEE (in the event that after a reasonable period of time LESSOR
and LESSEE cannot reach a mutual agreement on the cost for the next D check,
such cost will be established by taking the average of the price quotes
submitted by two (2) reputable FAA approved Airframe overhaul facilities, one
selected by LESSEE and the other selected by LESSOR).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the purposes of the calculation of D Check
compensation, "Al" shall not exceed 15,000 Flight Hours.

            (x) neutral livery with all of LESSEE's special exterior markings
removed or painted over;

            (xi) have installed two Pratt & Whitney JT8D-9A engines. LESSEE
shall use its reasonable efforts to deliver each engine with not less than 7,688
engine cycles of remaining life until the next scheduled engine removal, but in
no event shall any engine be delivered with less than 3,000 cycles remaining. In
the event that any Engine has more or less time remaining to the next scheduled
overhaul or hot section inspection (as determined in accordance with LESSEE's
FAA approved maintenance program) than it had remaining on the, Effective Date,
Engine Adjustment Compensation for each such Engine shall be paid in accordance
with the following formula and paid by the relevant party in relation to any

<PAGE>

                                                                              81

difference. If any Engine is returned with a greater number of cycles to the
next scheduled overhaul or hot section inspection than it had remaining on
the Effective Date, then LESSOR shall pay Engine Adjustment Compensation to
LESSEE on account of such Engine. If any Engine is returned with fewer Cycles
to the next scheduled overhaul or hot section inspection than it had
remaining on the Effective Date, then LESSEE shall pay Engine Adjustment
Compensation to LESSOR on account of such Engine.

                                 [A/B] x C

                  "A" is the average cost for an engine overhaul or hot section
inspection, as mutually agreed to by LESSOR and LESSEE (in the event that after
a reasonable period of time LESSOR and LESSEE cannot reach a mutual agreement on
the cost for the engine overhaul or hot section inspection, such cost will be
established by taking the average of the price quotes submitted by two (2)
reputable FAA approved engine overhaul facilities, one selected by LESSEE and
the other selected by LESSOR).

                  "B" is 7,000

                  "C" is the difference between the number of Cycles remaining
to the next overhaul or hot section inspection (whichever is the most limiting
factor) on the Engine as of the Effective Date as determined under the Engine
Manufacturer's maintenance manual and the number of Cycles remaining to the next
overhaul or hot section inspection (whichever is most limiting factor) on the
Engine as of the Return Occasion as determined under LESSEE's FAA approved
maintenance program.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, LESSOR shall have no obligation to
compensate LESSEE for any time to the next scheduled engine overhaul or hot
section inspection in excess of 7,000 Cycles.

            (xii) have undergone a borescope inspection on the engines (at
LESSOR's sole cost and expense). In the event the borescope inspection
indicates a discrepancy that is outside the limits set under the manufacturer's
maintenance manual for the engine, same shall be corrected at LESSEE's cost and
expense or LESSEE may provide a substitute engine which shall meet the return
conditions for an engine set forth herein;

            (xiii) have undergone a power assurance run with LESSOR's
representatives present to ensure performance of the engines based on the Pratt
& Whitney maintenance manual;

            (xiv) have performed a demonstration flight of the Aircraft in
accordance with LESSEE's procedures with up to two representatives of LESSOR on
board the Aircraft during such flight. Any discrepancies in the Aircraft found
during such demonstration flight which are outside the limits set forth in
LESSEE's maintenance program found during such demonstration flight shall be
corrected accordingly;

            (xv) be certified for a maximum taxi gross weight of 120,000 lbs.;

            (xvi) have installed an APU in serviceable condition;

            (xvii) have all gauges converted from the imperial system to the
metric system upon LESSOR's request;

            (xviii) except with respect to the engines, landing gear and APU,
have installed hard time components with an average of fifty percent (50%)
minimum time of remaining life as defined under LESSEE's FAA approved
maintenance program with no single component having less than three months of
remaining life as defined under such program; and

            (xix) in the event that during the Base Term the Aircraft was
hushkitted to meet Stage III noise regulations, LESSEE shall return the Aircraft
with such hushkits so installed so as to be compliance with such regulations
(except in the case where the hushkitting of the Aircraft was accomplished in
the last twelve months of the Base Term and LESSEE has elected not to extend the
term of the Lease but has instead elected to retain title to the hushkits).

for the withdrawal of any Cash Collateral from Lender hereunder; or (b) directly

restore the Mortgaged Property as to which the proceeds of insurance comprising
the Cash Collateral were payable; PROVIDED, however, that, subject to the terms
of the Lease, including, but not limited to, Lessee's right to the use,

continuance thereof, Lender may, in its sole discretion (subject to the terms of
the Lease, including, but not limited to, Lessee's right to the use, possession
and enjoyment of the Mortgaged Property): (a) disburse Cash Collateral in
payment for

                                       -9-

repairs or restoration of Mortgaged Property, following Borrower's request
for such disbursement; or (b) apply Cash Collateral to repayment of the Loan.

provision of this Agreement, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the security
interest in the Mortgaged Property pursuant to this Agreement shall secure
payment and performance of the Note and the Other Note, if any, whether such
note is held by Lender or any successor or assign thereof.

of Borrower and any person claiming such interest by, through or under Borrower,
in and to the property so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar, both at law

                                      -19-

including reasonable brokers' fees or sales commissions, a reasonable
compensation to Lender's agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other reasonable
charges, expenses, liabilities and advances incurred or made by Lender in
connection therewith, and to the payment of all taxes, assessments or Liens for
which Borrower is liable to indemnify Lender, if any, prior to the Lien of this
Agreement, except any taxes, assessments or Liens subject to which such sale
shall have been made;

         (b) Second, to the payment of amounts due under the Loan Agreement and
the balance of the Obligations; and

the Mortgaged Property offered for sale, and, upon compliance with the terms of
sale, may hold, retain and dispose of such Mortgaged Property without further
accountability therefor. Lender need not be present at such sale in order to
make such bid. For the purpose of making payment for the Mortgaged Property or
any part thereof so purchased, claim for payment of the Obligations, or any part
thereof, may be used by Lender as a credit against the purchase price therefor.

     4.11 RIGHT TO POSSESSION. Borrower hereby waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, the benefit of any law or procedure under the
federal Bankruptcy Code (or any comparable or succeeding law) which might
limit or impair the right of Lender to take possession of and sell or operate
and manage the Mortgaged Property in compliance with the provisions of this
Agreement.

     4.12 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Each right, power, and remedy specifically
given to Lender herein, or otherwise existing shall be cumulative and shall

herein, or in the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or now or
hereafter existing at law, in equity, or otherwise; and each right, power and
remedy, whether specifically given under the Loan Agreement or otherwise
existing may be exercised from time

                                      -20-

<PAGE>

to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by
Lender; and the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall not be construed to
be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other
right, power or remedy. No delay or omission by Lender in the exercise of any
right or power, or in the pursuance of any remedy, shall impair any such right,
power, or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or Event of
Default or to be an acquiescence therein. No waiver by Lender of any breach or
Default or Event of Default by Borrower under this Agreement shall be deemed a
waiver of any other previous breach or default or any thereafter occurring. The
invalidity of any remedy in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate such remedy in
any other jurisdiction. The invalidity or unenforceability of any of the
remedies herein provided in any jurisdiction shall not in any way affect the
right to the enforcement in such jurisdiction or elsewhere of any of the other
remedies herein provided.

     4.13 CERTAIN WAIVERS. Borrower agrees, to the full extent that it may
lawfully so agree, that neither it nor anyone claiming through or under it will
set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay,
extension or redemption law now or hereafter in force in any locality where any
Mortgaged Property may be situated in order to prevent, hinder or delay the
enforcement or foreclosure of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of the
Mortgaged Property or any part thereof; or the final and absolute putting into
possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchasers thereof, and
Borrower, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it,

     4.14 LENDER'S RIGHT TO PERFORM; EXPENSES. At any time and from time to time
after an Event of Default has occurred, if Borrower fails to perform or fulfill
any of its undertakings or obligations contained herein, including, without
limitation, the obligation to maintain insurance with respect to the Mortgaged
Property as herein provided, Lender shall have the right, but shall not be
obligated: (a) to effect such performance or compliance and (b) to incur such
expenses relative thereto or to the enforcement of Lender's rights as against,
or the preservation, protection, reconditioning, storage or sale of, the
Mortgaged Property including, but without limitation, such sums as are referred
to in Sections 4.7 and 4.9(a) hereof. The amount of any such expenses and other
reasonable costs of Lender incurred as hereinabove provided shall become payable

     4.15 ADVANCES ARE SECURED. All costs and expenses referred to in Section
4.14 shall become part of the Obligations and shall become part of the
indebtedness secured under this Agreement. Subject to the rights of Lessee, if
any, to the use, possession and enjoyment of the Aircraft, Lender shall have the
right (but shall not be obligated) to use and apply any Cash Collateral at any
time held by it for the repayment of all such advances, costs or expenses.
However, no such use of any Cash Collateral, nor the making by Lender of any
advance in payment of any such expense, shall relieve Borrower from any Default
or Event of Default hereunder.

     4.16 AGENCY. Borrower hereby appoints Lender, such appointment being
immediately and without further notice or action effective upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default, as Borrower's irrevocable attorney-in-fact and agent
(such appointment being coupled with an interest) either in Lender's own name or
in the name of Borrower, to (a) incur and to pay the costs and expenses
aforesaid; (b) make claim for, collect, compromise and bring suit in respect of
all claims relating to the Mortgaged Property; (c) execute and endorse all
documents, checks or drafts received in payment of any and all such expenses or
any losses or damages under any insurance policies maintained with respect to
any Mortgaged Property; (d) execute financing statements in Borrower's name as
debtor; and (e) take any action which Borrower could take as owner of the
Mortgaged Property in order to facilitate the realization by Lender of any of
its rights and remedies herein provided.

     5. RELEASE UPON SATISFACTION OF OBLIGATIONS.

     Following payment in full and satisfaction of the Obligations, this
Agreement and the Lien, rights and interests hereby granted shall cease,
terminate and become null and void, and, upon Borrower's written request
therefor, Lender shall execute and deliver to Borrower such instruments of
satisfaction and discharge of this Agreement, and the Lien hereof, as may be
reasonably requested by Borrower, and pay and deliver all monies and other
personal property then held as collateral security (but excluding any monies
received by Lender in payment of the Obligations) by Lender hereunder. All such
instruments and documents of release or discharge shall be prepared and filed at
the sole cost and expense of Borrower and shall be reasonably satisfactory in
form and substance to Lender.

     loss, theft, damage or destruction to the Aircraft from any cause
     whatsoever.

4.2  [Intentionally Omitted].

4.3  [Intentionally Omitted].

4.4  Licenses: Lessee will at its expense obtain all licenses, permits and
     approvals which may be necessary to export and/or transport the Aircraft

     such license, permit or approval.

4.5  [Intentionally Omitted].

4.6  Indemnity: Lessee will indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnities from and
     against all Claims (as defined in Clause 10) arising from death or injury

     and be continuing, and subject as hereinafter provided, Lessee shall have
     the option (the "Early Termination Option") to terminate the Term on either

     (including without limitation Part B of Schedule 3 hereto).

5.   PAYMENTS

5.1  [Intentionally Omitted].

5.2  Rental Periods: The Term will be divided into Rental Periods. The first
     Rental Period (the "Interim Period") will commence on the Commencement Date
     and end on October 5, 1999, and each subsequent Rental Period will commence
     on the date succeeding the last day of the previous Rental Period. Each
     Rental Period will end on the date immediately preceding the numerically
     corresponding day in the next month except that:

(a)  if there is no such numerically corresponding day in that month, it will
     end on the last day of that month;

(b)  if a Rental Period would otherwise end after the Expiry Date, it will end
     on the Expiry Date.

     In addition to the foregoing, if a Rental Period begins on a non-Business
     Day, the Rent payable in respect of that Rental Period will be paid on the
     Business Day immediately succeeding the date on which that Rental Period
     commences.

5.3  Rent:

(a)  Time of Payment: Lessee will pay to Lessor or its order Rent in advance on
     each Rent Date. Payment must be initiated adequately in advance of the Rent
     Date to ensure that Lessor receives credit for the payment on the Rent
     Date.

(b)  Amount: The Rent payable in respect of all Rental Periods commencing on or
     after the Commencement Date will be equal to the Rent Amount, except that
     no Rent shall be due with

                                      -18-
<PAGE>

     respect to the Interim Period, which has been paid prior to the
     Commencement Date.

(c)  [Intentionally Omitted].

5.4  [Intentionally Omitted].

5.5  Payments: All payments by Lessee to Lessor under this Agreement will be
     made for value on the due date in Dollars and in immediately available
     funds by wire transfer to The Provident Bank, Cincinnati, Ohio, ABA No.
     042000424, Account No. 215-16510, Reference: Aloha Airlines N807AL, or to
     such other account in the United States as Lessor may advise Lessee in
     writing.

5.6  Gross-up:

(a)  All payments by Lessor under or in connection with this Agreement will be
     made without set-off counterclaim, free and clear of and without deduction
     for or on account of all Taxes (other than Lessor Taxes);

(b)  All Taxes (other than Lessor Taxes) in respect of payments under this
     Agreement shall be for the account of and will be paid by Lessee for its
     own account prior to the date on which penalties apply; if requested by
     Lessee, Lessor shall prepare and timely file all necessary tax returns and
     Lessee shall either furnish the funds to Lessor for Lessor to pay such
     Taxes or Lessee shall pay such Taxes for the account of Lessor;

(c)  If Lessee is compelled by law to make payment subject to any Tax (other
     than Lessor Taxes) and Lessor does not actually receive for its own benefit
     on the due date a net amount equal to the full amount provided for under
     this Agreement, Lessee will pay all necessary additional amounts to ensure
     receipt by Lessor of the full amount so provided for.

5.7  Taxation: Lessee will on demand pay and indemnify Lessor against all Taxes
     (other than Lessor Taxes) levied or imposed against or upon Lessor or
     Lessee and relating to or attributable to Lessee, this Agreement or the
     Aircraft directly or indirectly in connection with the importation,
     exportation, registration, ownership, leasing, sub-leasing, delivery,
     possession, use, operation, repair, maintenance, overhaul, transportation,
     landing, storage, presence or redelivery of the Aircraft or any part
     thereof or any rent, receipts, insurance proceeds, income or other amounts
     arising therefrom.

     If Lessor shall realize any Tax savings (by way of refund, deduction,
     credit or otherwise) in respect of any amount with respect to which Lessee
     has made an indemnity payment under this Agreement, and such Tax savings
     shall not have been taken into account previously in calculating any
     indemnity payment by Lessee, then Lessor shall, within 30 days after
     realizing such Tax savings, pay to Lessee the amount of such Tax savings
     (together with, in the case of a refund, any interest received thereon)
     plus the amount of any Tax savings realized by Lessor as a result of any
     such payment pursuant to this sentence, provided, however, that Lessor
     shall not be obligated to make any payment pursuant to this sentence to the
     extent that the amount of any Tax, savings for which such payment is to be
     made (other than Tax savings realized as a result of such

                                      -19-
<PAGE>

     payment) would exceed the aggregate amount of all prior payments made
     by Lessee to, on behalf of, or as indemnification of Lessor under this
     Agreement for Taxes less the amount of all prior payments pursuant to this
     sentence for such Tax savings. It is intended that Lessor shall retain a
     net tax benefit in respect of any amount with respect to which Lessee has
     made an indemnity payment under this Agreement only if Lessee shall first
     have been reimbursed for all payments made or withheld by it for Taxes
     under this Agreement.

5.8  Value Added Tax:

(a)  For the purposes of this sub-clause:

     (i) "VAT" means value added tax and any sales or turnover tax, imposition
     or levy of a like nature (other than Lessor Taxes);

     (ii) "supply" includes anything on which VAT is chargeable;

(b)  Lessee will pay to Lessor the amount of any VAT chargeable in respect of
     any supply for VAT purposes under this Agreement;

(c)  Each amount stated as payable by Lessee under this Agreement is exclusive
     of VAT (if any) and is accordingly to be construed as a reference to that
     amount plus any VAT in respect of it.

5.9  Information: If Lessee is required by any applicable law, or by any third
     party, to deliver any report or return in connection with any Taxes, Lessee
     will complete the same in a manner satisfactory to Lessor and in particular
     will state therein that Lessee is exclusively responsible for the use and
     operation of the Aircraft and for any Taxes arising therefrom, and Lessee
     will, on request supply a copy of the report or return to Lessor.

5.10 Taxation of Indemnity Payments:

(a)  If and to the extent that any sums payable to Lessor by Lessee under this
     Agreement by way of indemnity are insufficient, by reason of any Taxes
     (other than Lessor Taxes) payable in respect to those sums, for Lessor,
     except with respect to Lessor Taxes, to discharge the corresponding
     liability to the relevant third party (including any taxation authority),
     or to reimburse Lessor for the cost incurred by it to a third party
     (including any taxation authority) Lessee will pay to Lessor such sum as
     will after the tax liability has been fully satisfied leave Lessor with the
     same amount as it would have been entitled to receive in the absence of
     that liability together with interest on the amount of the deficit at the
     rate of interest stated in Clause 5.11 in respect of the period commencing
     on the date on which the payment of taxation is finally due until payment
     by Lessee (both before and after judgment);

(b)  If and to the extent that any sums constituting (directly or indirectly) an
     indemnity to Lessor but paid by Lessee to any person other than Lessor are
     treated as taxable in the hands of Lessor, Lessee will pay to Lessor such
     sum as will after the tax liability (except tax liability for Lessor Taxes)
     has been fully satisfied indemnify Lessor to the same extent as it would
     have been

                                      -20-
<PAGE>

     indemnified in the absence of such liability together with interest on the
     amount payable by Lessee under this sub-clause at the rate of interest
     stated in Clause 5.11 in respect of the period commencing on the date on
     which the payment of taxation is finally due until payment by Lessee (both
     before and after judgment).

5.11 Default Interest: If Lessee fails to pay any amount payable under this
     Agreement on the due date, Lessee will pay on demand from time to time to
     Lessor interest (both before and after judgment) on that amount, from the
     due date to the date of payment in full by Lessee to Lessor, at the rate
     calculated by Lessor to be one month Dollar LIBOR plus 300 basis points.
     All such interest will be compounded monthly and calculated on the basis of
     the actual number of days elapsed and a 360 day year.

5.12 Contest: If Lessee disputes the payment of any Taxes payable by Lessor for
     which Lessee is responsible under this Agreement, Lessor will take such
     action as Lessee may reasonably request at Lessee's expenses to contest
     that payment but will not be obliged to take any such action:

(a)  which Lessor considers in its reasonable discretion may prejudice it unless
     Lessee shall have provided security reasonably satisfactory to Lessor to
     cover the liability for Taxes and the expense of the contest; or

(b)  which Lessor reasonably considers does not have a reasonable prospect of
     success; or

(c)  for which Lessee has not made adequate provision to the reasonable
     satisfaction of Lessor in respect of the expense concerned.

5.13 Absolute: Lessee's obligations under this Agreement are absolute and
     unconditional irrespective of any contingency whatsoever including (but not
     limited to):

(a)  any right of set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right
     which either party to this Agreement may have against the other;

(b)  any unavailability of the Aircraft for any reason, including, but not
     limited to, a requisition of the Aircraft or any prohibition or
     interruption of or interference with or other restriction against Lessee's
     use, operation or possession of the Aircraft;

(c)  any lack or invalidity of title or any other defect in title,
     airworthiness, merchantability, fitness for any purpose, condition, design,
     or operation of any kind or nature of the Aircraft for any particular use
     or trade, or for registration or documentation under the laws of any
     relevant jurisdiction, or any Event of Loss in respect of or any damage to
     the Aircraft;

(d)  any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of
     debt, dissolution, liquidation or similar proceedings by or against Lessor
     or Lessee;

(e)  any invalidity or unenforceability or lack of due authorization of, or
     other defect in, this Agreement;

                                      -21-
<PAGE>

(f)  any other cause which but for this provision would or might otherwise have
     the effect of terminating or in any way affecting any obligation of Lessee
     under this Agreement.

     The provisions of this Clause 5.13 shall not limit Lessee's right to take
     such legal action as Lessee shall deem appropriate as a consequence of the
     breach by Lessor of its obligations to Lessee under this Agreement.

5.14 [Intentionally Omitted].

6.   MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTIES

6.1  Assignment: Notwithstanding this Agreement, Lessor will remain entitled to
     the benefit of each warranty, express or implied, with respect to the
     Aircraft, any Engine or Part so far as concerns any manufacturer, vendor,
     subcontractor or supplier. Except to the extent Lessor otherwise directs,
     Lessor hereby authorizes Lessee to pursue any claim thereunder in relation
     to defects affecting the Aircraft, any Engine or Part and, if Lessee
     decides to pursue such claim, Lessee agrees diligently to pursue any such
     claim which arises at its own cost. Lessee will use reasonable efforts to
     notify Lessor promptly upon becoming aware of any such claim.

6.2  Proceeds: Except to the extent Lessor otherwise agrees in a particular
     case, all proceeds of any such claim will be paid directly to Lessor but if
     and to the extent that such proceeds relate:

(a)  to defects affecting the Aircraft which Lessee has rectified; or

(b)  to compensation for loss of use of the Aircraft, an Engine or any Part
     during the Term; or

(c)  the costs incurred by Lessee in pursuing such claim; and

     provided no Default has occurred and is continuing the proceeds will be
     paid to Lessee by Lessor but in the case of (a) only on receipt of
     evidence satisfactory to Lessor that Lessee has rectified the relevant
     defect.

6.3  Parts: Except to the extent Lessor otherwise agrees in a particular case,
     Lessee will ensure that all engines, components, furnishings or equipment
     provided by the manufacturer, vendor, subcontractor or supplier in
     replacement of a defective Engine or Part pursuant to the terms of any
     warranty will be installed promptly by Lessee and that title thereto free
     of Security Interests vests in Lessor. On installation those items will be
     deemed to be an Engine or part as applicable.

6.4  Agreement: To the extent any warranties relating to the Aircraft are made
     available under an agreement between any manufacturer, vendor,
     subcontractor or supplier and Lessee, this Clause 6 is subject to that
     agreement. However Lessee will:

(a)  pay the proceeds of any claim thereunder to Lessor to be applied pursuant
     to Clause 6.2 and pending such payment will hold the claim and the proceeds
     in trust for Lessor;

                                      -22-
<PAGE>

(b)  take all such steps as are necessary at the end of the Term to ensure the
     benefit of any of those warranties which have vested in Lessee (to the
     extent that they are assignable) which have not expired are vested in
     Lessor.

7.   LESSOR'S COVENANTS

7.1  Quiet Enjoyment: Provided that no Default shall have occured and be
     continuing, Lessee shall quietly possess, use and enjoy the Aircraft and
     the rents, revenues, profits and income derived through Lessee's use and
     operation thereof without interference, hindrance or interruption by Lessor
     or any person or entity validly claiming by or through Lessor; provided
     that the exercise by Lessor of its rights under or in connection with this
     Agreement shall not constitute such an interference, hindrance or
     interruption.

(a)  redelivery of the Aircraft to Lessor in accordance with and in the
     condition required by this Agreement; or

     Commencement Date;

     or in each case such later time as Lessor is satisfied Lessee has
     irrevocably paid to Lessor all amounts which may then be outstanding and
     payable under this Agreement, the Other Leases or under any other agreement
     between Lessor (or any affiliate or associate of Lessor) and Lessee, Lessor
     will pay to Lessee the amount of any Rent received in respect of any period
     falling after the date of redelivery of the Aircraft or payment of the
     Agreed Value, as the case may be.

7.3  Fixed Place of Business: During the Term, Lessor shall not establish a
     fixed place of business in the State of Hawaii without the prior written
     consent of Lessee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed
     if such establishment will not have the effect of increasing Lessee's
     obligations under this Agreement or, if such establishment does so increase
     Lessee's obligations under this Agreement, if Lessor and Lessee shall have
     entered into alternative substitute arrangements having the same
     substantial effect as this Agreement but which avoid such increase in such
     obligations).

     installed on the Aircraft is at any time removed from the Aircraft other
     than:

(a)  if replaced as expressly permitted by this Agreement; or

(b)  if the removal is of an obsolete item and is in accordance with the Agreed
     Maintenance Program; or

(c)  (i) during the course of maintaining, servicing, repairing, overhauling or
     testing that Engine or the Aircraft, as the case may be; or

     (ii) as part of a normal engine or part rotation Program; or

     (iii) for the purpose of making such modifications to the Engine or the
          Aircraft, as the case may be, as are permitted under this Agreement;

     and then in each case only if it is reinstalled or replaced by an engine or
     part complying with Clause 8.13(a) as soon as practicable and in any event
     no later than the Expiry Date.

8.13 Installation of Engines and Parts: Lessee will:

(a)  ensure that, except as permitted by this Agreement, no engine or part is
     installed on the Aircraft unless:

     (i) in the case of an engine, it (x) is an engine of the same model as, or
     an improved or advanced version of the Engine it replaces; (y) is in the
     same or better operating condition, has substantially similar hours
     available until the next scheduled checks, inspections, overhauls and shop
     visits (provided, however, that, on the Expiry Date, Lessee may make the
     financial adjustments referred to in Clause 12.8 in lieu of complying with
     this sub-paragraph (y)); and (z) has the same or greater value and utility
     as the replaced Engine;

     (ii) in the case of a part, it is in as good operating condition, has
     substantially similar hours available until the next scheduled checks,
     inspections, overhauls and shop visits, is of the same or a more advanced
     make and model and is of the same interchangeable modification status as
     the replaced Part;

     (iii) in each case, it has become and remains the property of Lessor free
     from Security interests and on installation of the Aircraft will without
     further act be subject to this Agreement

                                      -31-
<PAGE>

     and the Mortgage;

     (iv) in each case, Lessee has full details as to its source and maintenance
     records; and

     (v) Lessee complies with all applicable provisions of the Mortgage;

(b)  If no Default has occurred which is continuing, be entitled to install any
     engine or part on the Aircraft by way of replacement notwithstanding Clause
     8.13(a) if:

     (i) there is not available to Lessee at the time and in the place that that
     engine or part is required to be installed on the Aircraft, a replacement
     engine or, as the case may be, part complying with the requirements of
     Clause 8.13(a);

     (ii) it would result in an unreasonable disruption of the operation of the
     Aircraft and/or the business of Lessee to ground the Aircraft until an
     engine or part, as the case may be, complying with Clause 8.13(a) becomes
     available for installation on the Aircraft; and

     (iii)as soon as practicable after installation of the same on the Aircraft
     but, in any event, no later than the Expiry Date, Lessee removes any such
     engine or part and replaces it with the Engine or Part replaced by it or by
     an engine or part, as the case may be, complying with Clause 8.13(a).

     Where, pursuant to this sub-clause (b), an engine or part is installed on
     the Aircraft, Lessor shall not be entitled to any ownership or Security
     Interest in such engine or part.

(c)  If no Default has occurred which is continuing, the Lessee will be entitled
     to install Lessee Installed Seats on the Airframe by way of replacement
     notwithstanding Clause 8.13(a)(iii) so long as:

(i)  the terms of any lease, conditional sale agreement or security agreement,
     as the case may be, covering such Lessee Installed Seats will not have the
     effect of prejudicing the title and interest of the Lessor in and to the
     Aircraft (including its Engines and Parts) or the interest of the Lender in
     respect thereof under the Mortgage;

(ii) the secured party, lessor or conditional vendor, as the case may be, of
     such Lessee Installed Seats has confirmed and acknowledged in writing
     (which such confirmation and acknowledgment may be contained in the lease,
     conditional sale agreement or security agreement) to the Lessor and the
     Lender, in form and substance satisfactory to the Lessor, that it will
     recognize the respective rights, title and interest of the Lessor and the
     Lender in and to the Aircraft (including its Engines and Parts) and that it
     will not seek to exercise any rights whatever in relation thereto; and

(iii) before the Expiry Date the Lessee removes the Lessee Installed Seats and
      replaces them with the seats owned by them or by other seats, in either
      case complying with Clause 8.13(a).

                                      -32-
<PAGE>

8.14 Non-Installed Engines and Parts: Lessee will:

(a)  ensure that any Engine or Part which is not installed on the Aircraft (or
     any other aircraft as permitted by this Agreement) is, except as expressly
     permitted by this Agreement, properly and safely stored, and kept free from
     Security Interests;

(b)  on request notify Lessor if any Engine has been removed from the Aircraft
     and, from time to time, on request procure that any person to whom
     possession of an Engine is given acknowledges in writing to Lessor, in form
     and substance satisfactory to Lessor, that it will respect the interests of
     Lessor as lessor and Lender as mortgagee and secured party and will not
     seek to exercise any rights whatsoever in relation to it;

(c)  (notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this sub-clause), be
     permitted, if no Default has occurred and is continuing, to install any
     Engine or Part on an aircraft, or in the case of a Part, an engine:

     (i) owned and operated by Lessee free from Security Interests; or

     (ii) leased or hired to Lessee pursuant to a lease or conditional sale
     agreement on a long-term basis and on terms whereby Lessee has full
     operational control of that aircraft or engine; or

     (iii) acquired by Lessee and/or financed or refinanced, and operated by
     Lessee, on terms that ownership of that aircraft or engine, as the case may
     be, pursuant to a lease or conditional sale agreement, or a Security
     Interest therein, is vested in or held by any other person;

provided that in the case of (ii) and (iii):

     (1) the terms of any such lease conditional sale agreement or Security
     Interest will not have the effect of prejudicing the interests of Lender as
     mortgagee and secured party or Lessor as holder of title and lessor of that
     Engine or Part and lessor of that Engine or Part or the interests of Lender
     in respect thereof under the Lease Assignment; and

     (2) if requested by Lessor, the lessor under such lease, the seller under
     such conditional sale agreement or the holder of such Security Interest
     as the case may be, has confirmed and acknowledged in writing to Lessor,
     in form and substance satisfactory to Lessor, that it will respect the
     interest of Lessor as owner and lessor and Lender as mortgagee and
     secured party of that Engine or Part and that it will not seek to
     exercise any rights whatsoever in relation thereto.

8.15 Pooling of Engines and Parts: Lessee will not enter into nor permit any
     pooling agreement or arrangement in respect of an Engine or Part without
     the prior written consent of Lessor.

8.16 Equipment Changes:

                                      -33-
<PAGE>

(a)  Lessee will not make any modification or addition to the Aircraft (each an
     "Equipment Change"), except for an Equipment Change which:

     (i) is expressly permitted by this Agreement, or

     (ii) which does not diminish the value, utility, condition, or
     airworthiness of the Aircraft;

(b)  So long as a Default has not occurred and is continuing, Lessee may remove
     any Equipment Change if it can be removed from the Aircraft without
     diminishing or impairing the value, utility, condition or airworthiness of
     the Aircraft.

8.17 Title:

(a)  Except as provided in Part 1 of Schedule 1 with respect to Windshear, TCAS
     and 11 Parameter FDR equipment, title to all Engines and Parts installed on
     the Aircraft whether by way of replacement, as the result of an Equipment
     Change or otherwise (except those installed pursuant to Clause 8.13(b) or
     8.13(c)) will on installation, without further act, vest in Lessor subject
     to this Agreement and the Mortgage free and clear of all Security
     Interests. Lessee will at its own expense take all such steps and execute,
     and procure the execution of, all such instruments as Lessor may require
     and which are necessary to ensure that title so passes to Lessor according
     to all applicable laws. At any time when requested by Lessor, Lessee will
     provide evidence to Lessor's satisfaction (including the provision, if
     required, to Lessor of one or more legal opinions) that title has so passed
     to Lessor;

(b)  Lessor may require Lessee to remove any Equipment Change and to restore the
     Aircraft to its condition prior to that Equipment Change;

(c)  Except as referred to in Clause 8.17(b) any Engine or Part (other than the
     Windshear, TCAS and I I Parameter FDR equipment referred to in Part 1 of
     Schedule 1) at any time removed from the Aircraft will remain the property
     of Lessor until replacement has been made in accordance with this Agreement
     and until title in that replacement has passed, according to applicable
     laws, to Lessor subject to this Agreement, and the Mortgage free of all
     Security Interests whereupon title to the Engine or Part; will, provided no
     Default has occurred and is continuing, pass to Lessee (in connection with
     which Lessor shall execute such documents as Lessee shall reasonably
     request and at Lessee's cost which are necessary to convey such title to
     Lessee).

8.18 Third Party: Lessee will procure that no person (other than Lessor or
     Lender) will act in any manner inconsistent with its obligations under this
     Agreement and that all persons will comply with those obligations as if
     references to "Lessee" included a separate reference to those persons.

9.   INSURANCE

9.1  Insurances: Lessee will maintain in full force during the Term insurances
     in respect of the Aircraft in form and substance satisfactory to Lessor
     (the "Insurances" which expression includes, where the context so admits,
     any relevant re-insurance(s)) through such brokers and

                                      -34-
<PAGE>

     with such insurers and having such deductibles and being subject to such
     exclusions as may be approved by Lessor. The Insurances will be effected
     either:

(a)  on a direct basis with insurers of recognized standing who normally
     participate in aviation insurances in the leading international insurance
     markets and led by reputable underwriter(s) approved by Lessor; or

(b)  with a single insurer or group of insurers approved by Lessor who does not
     retain the risk but effects substantial reinsurance with reinsurers in the
     leading international insurance markets and through brokers each of
     recognized standing and acceptable to Lessor for a percentage acceptable to
     Lessor of all risks insured (the "Reinsurances").

9.2  Requirements: Lessor's current requirements as to required Insurances are
     as specified in this Clause and in Schedule 4. Lessor may from time to time
     stipulate other requirements for the Insurances so that the scope and level
     of cover is maintained in line with best industry practice and the
     interests of Lessor and each of the Indemnitees are protected; provided,
     however, that this Clause of itself will not permit Lessor to increase the
     levels of coverage required under this Agreement (but without prejudice to
     any other provisions of this Agreement).

9.3  Change: If at any time and on reasonable grounds Lessor wishes to revoke
     its approval of any insurer, reinsurer, insurance or reinsurance, Lessor
     and/or its brokers will consult with Lessee and Lessee's brokers (as for
     the time being approved by Lessor) regarding whether that approval should
     be revoked to protect the interests of the parties insured. If, following
     the consultation, Lessor considers that any change should be made, Lessee
     will then arrange or procure the arrangement of alternative cover
     satisfactory to Lessor.

9.4 Insurance Covenants: Lessee will:

(a)  ensure that all legal requirements as to insurance of the Aircraft, any
     Engine or any Part which may from time to time be imposed by the laws of
     the State of Registration or any state to, from or over which the Aircraft
     may be flown, in so far as they affect or concern the operation of the
     Aircraft, are complied with and in particular those requirements compliance
     with which is necessary to ensure that (i) the Aircraft is not in danger of
     detention or forfeiture, (ii) the insurances remain valid and in full force
     and effect, and (iii) the interests of the Indemnitees in the Insurances
     and the Aircraft or any Part are not thereby prejudiced;

(b)  not use, cause or permit the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part to be used
     for any purpose or in any manner not covered by the Insurances or outside
     any geographical limit imposed by the Insurances;

(c)  comply with the terms and conditions of each policy of the Insurances and
     not do, consent or agree to any act or omission which:

     (i) invalidates or may invalidate the Insurances; or

                                      -35-

<PAGE>

     (ii) renders or may render void or voidable the whole or any part of any of
     the Insurances; or

     (iii) brings any particular liability within the scope of an exclusion or
     exception to the Insurances;

(d)  not take out without the prior written approval of Lessor any insurance or
     reinsurance in respect of the Aircraft other than those required under this
     Agreement unless relating solely to hull total loss, business interruption,
     profit commission and deductible risk. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
     Lessee may, at its own cost, increase the Agreed Value over the value
     currently provided for in this Agreement;

(e)  commence renewal procedures at least 30 days prior to expiry of any of the
     Insurances and provide to Lessor:

     (i) if requested by Lessor, a written statement status report of renewal
     negotiation 14 days prior to each expiry date.

     (ii) confirmation of completion of renewal prior to each expiry date;

     (iii) certificates of insurance (and whether appropriate certificates of
     reinsurance), and broker's (and any reinsurance brokers') letter of
     undertaking in a form acceptable to Lessor in English, detailing the
     coverage and confirming the insurers' (and any reinsurers') agreement to
     the specified insurance requirements of this Agreement within 7 days after
     each renewal date;

(f)  on request, and if a Default shall have occurred, provide to Lessor copies
     of documents evidencing the Insurances;

(g)  on request, and if a Default shall have occurred, provide to Lessor
     evidence that the Insurance premiums have been paid;

(h)  not make any modification or alteration to the insurances material and
     adverse to the interests of any of the Indemnitees;

(i)  be responsible for any deductible under the Insurances; and

(j)  provide any other insurance and reinsurance related information, or
     assistance, in respect of the Insurances as Lessor may reasonably require.

9.5  Failure to Insure : If Lessee fails to maintain the Insurances in
     compliance with this Agreement, each of the Indemnitees will be entitled
     but not bound, (without prejudice to any other rights of Lessor under this
     Agreement):

(a)  to pay the premiums due or to effect and maintain insurances satisfactory
     to it or otherwise remedy Lessee's failure in such manner (including,
     without limitation to effect and maintain an "owner's interest" policy) as
     it considers appropriate. Any sums so expended by it will become

                                      -36-
<PAGE>

     immediately due and payable by Lessee to Lessor together with interest
     thereon at the rate specified in Clause 5.11, from the date of expenditure
     by it up to the date of reimbursement by Lessee;

(b)  At any time while such failure is continuing to require the Aircraft to
     remain at any airport or to proceed to and remain at any airport designated
     by it until the failure is remedied to its satisfaction.

9.6  Continuing Indemnity : Lessor may require Lessee to effect and to maintain
     product liability insurance after the Expiry Date with respect to its
     liability under the Indemnification in Clause 10 for such period as Lessor
     may reasonably require (but in any event not more than 3 years) which
     provides for each Indemnitee to be named as additional insured. Lessee's
     obligation in this Clause shall not be affected by Lessee ceasing to be
     lessee of the Aircraft and/or any of the Indemnitees ceasing to have any
     interest in respect of the Aircraft.

9.7  Application of Insurance Proceeds :

     As between Lessor and Lessee:

(a)  all insurance payments received as a result of an Event of Loss occurring
     during the Tenn will be paid to Lessor or as it may direct and Lessor or
     its designee who received such payment will pay the balance of those
     amounts to Lessee after deduction of all amounts which may be or are
     payable by Lessee to Lessor under this Agreement (including under Clause
     11.1(b));

(b)  all insurance proceeds of any property, damage or loss to the Aircraft, any
     Engine or any Part occurring during the Term not constituting an Event of
     Loss and in excess of the Damage Notification Threshold will be paid to
     Lessor or as it may direct and applied to payment (or to reimburse Lessee)
     for repairs or replacement property upon Lessor being satisfied that the
     repairs or replacement have been effected in accordance with this
     Agreement. Insurance proceeds in amounts below the Damage Notification
     Threshold may be paid by the insurer directly to Lessee;

(c)  all insurance proceeds in respect of third party liability will, except to
     the extent paid by the Insurers to the relevant third party, be paid to
     Lessor or as it may direct to be paid directly in satisfaction of the
     relevant liability or to Lessee in reimbursement of any payment so made;

(d)  notwithstanding Clauses 9.7(a), (b) or (c), if at the time of the payment
     of any such insurance proceeds a Default has occurred and is continuing all
     such proceeds will be paid to or retained by Lessor or Lessor's designee to
     be applied toward payment of any amounts which may be or are payable by
     Lessee in such order as Lessor or Lessor's designee sees fit or as Lessor
     may elect.

10.  INDEMNIFICATION

10.1 General : Lessee agrees to assume liability for, defend, indemnify and hold
     harmless the Indemnitees on an after tax basis from and against any and all
     claims, proceedings, losses, liabilities, damages (whether direct,
     indirect, special, incidental or consequential), suits,

                                      -37-
<PAGE>

     judgments, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, legal fees and
     expenses), penalties (whether civil or criminal) or fines (each a "Claim")
     (regardless of when the same is made or incurred, whether on or after July
     15, 1999, during or after the Term):

(a)  which may at any time be suffered or incurred directly or indirectly as a
     result of or in any manner connected with the possession, delivery,
     performance, management, ownership, registration, control, maintenance,
     condition, service, repair, overhaul, leasing, use, operation or return of
     the Aircraft, any Engine or Part (either in the air or on the ground)
     whether or not the Claim may be attributable to any defect in the Aircraft,
     any Engine or any Part or to its design, testing or use or otherwise, and
     regardless of when the same arises or whether it arises out of or is
     attributable to any act or omission, negligent or otherwise, of any
     Indemnitee;

(b)  which arise out of any act or omission which invalidates or which renders
     voidable any of the Insurances;

(c)  which may at any time be suffered or incurred as a consequence of any
     design, article or material in the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part or its
     operation or use constituting an infringement of patent, copyright,
     trademark, design or other proprietary right or a breach of any obligation
     of confidentiality owed to any person;

(d)  which results from Lessee's breach of any of its representations or
     warranties or any other event of Default under this Agreement;

     but excluding any Claim in relation in a particular Indemnitee (x) to the
     extent that that Claim is covered pursuant to another indemnity provision
     of this Agreement or (y) to the extent it arises as a result of the gross
     negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee, Lessor Taxes or a
     Lessor Lien or (z) to the extent it arises out of facts and circumstances
     occurring prior to July 15, 1999 or after the expiry of the Term where such
     facts and circumstances do not result from acts or omissions of Lessee.

10.2 Duration : the Indemnification contained in this Agreement will continue in
     full force after the Expiry Date.

11.  EVENTS OF LOSS

11.1 Events of Loss :

(a)  Pre-delivery: If an Event of Loss occurs prior to delivery of the Aircraft
     to Lessee this Agreement will immediately terminate and except as expressly
     stated in this Agreement neither party will have any further obligation or
     liability under this Agreement other than pursuant to Clause 16.9 except
     that Lessor will rebate to Lessee the amount of any aircraft commitment fee
     paid under this Agreement.

(b)  Post-delivery: If an Event of Loss occurs after delivery of the Aircraft to
     Lessee, Lessee will pay the Agreed Value to Lessor or as it may direct on
     or prior to the earlier of (i) 21 Business Days

                                      -38-
<PAGE>

     after the Event of Loss and (ii) the date of receipt of insurance proceeds
     in respect of that Event of Loss. Subject to the rights of any insurers and
     reinsurers or other third party, upon irrevocable payment in full to Lessor
     or its designee of that amount and all other amounts which may be or become
     payable to Lessor under this Agreement, Lessor will without recourse or
     warranty (except as to Lessor's Liens) and without further act, cause to
     have transferred to Lessee all of Lessor's rights to any Engines and Parts
     not installed when the Event of Loss occurred, all on an AS-IS-WHERE-IS
     basis, and will at Lessee's expense, cause Lessor to execute and deliver
     such bills of sale and other documents and instruments as Lessee may
     reasonably request to evidence (on the public record or otherwise) the
     transfer and the vesting of Lessor's rights in such Engines and Parts in
     Lessee, free and clear of all rights of Lessor and Lessor Liens.

11.2 Requisition : During any requisition for use or hire of the Aircraft, any
     Engine or Part which does not constitute an Event of Loss:

(a)  the Rent and other charges payable under this Agreement will not be
     suspended or abated either in whole or in part, and Lessee will not be
     released from any of its other obligations under the Agreement (other than
     operational obligations with which Lessee is unable to comply solely by
     virtue of the requisition);

(b)  so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessee will be
     entitled to any hire paid by the requisitioning authority in respect of the
     Term. Lessee will, as soon as practicable after the end of any such
     requisition, cause the Aircraft to be put into the condition required by
     this Agreement. Lessor will be entitled to all compensation payable by the
     requisitioning authority in respect of any change in the structure, state
     or condition of the Aircraft arising during the period of requisition, and
     Lessor will apply such compensation in reimbursing Lessee for the cost of
     complying with its obligations under this Agreement in respect of any such
     change, but so that, if any Default has occurred and its continuing, Lessor
     may apply the compensation or hire in or towards settlement of any amounts
     owing by Lessee under this Agreement.

12.  RETURN OF AIRCRAFT

12.1 Return : On the Expiry Date or termination of the leasing of the Aircraft
     under this Agreement Lessee will unless an Event of Loss has occurred, at
     its expense, redelivery the Aircraft and Aircraft Documents to Lessor at
     the Redelivery Location or such other airport as is mutually acceptable to
     the parties hereto, in a condition complying with Schedule 3, free and
     clear of all Security interests and Permitted Liens (other than Lessor
     Liens) and in a condition qualifying for immediate certification of
     airworthiness by the FAA or as otherwise agreed by Lessor and Lessee, and
     thereupon cause the Aircraft to be deregistered by the Air Authority.

12.2 Final Inspection : immediately prior to redelivery of the Aircraft, Lessee
     will make the Aircraft available to Lessor and Lender for inspection
     ("Final Inspection") in order to verify that the condition of the Aircraft
     complies with this Agreement. The Final Inspection will be long enough to
     permit Lessor to:

(a)  inspect the Aircraft Documents;

                                      -39-
<PAGE>

(b)  inspect the Aircraft and uninstalled Parts;

(c)  inspect the Engines, including without limitation (i) a borescope
     inspection of (A) the low pressure and high pressure compressors and (B)
     turbine area and (ii) engine condition runs; and

(d)  observe a 2 hour demonstration flight (with Lessor's representatives as
     on-board observers).

     Lessor will indemnify and hold harmless Lessee from and against all Claims
     (as defined in Clause 10) arising from death or injury to any observer of
     Lessor or any employee of Lessor in connection with any demonstration
     flight or inspection of the Aircraft by Lessor (except to the extent that
     such Claim arises out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
     Lessee).

12.3 Non-Compliance : To the extent that, at the time of Final Inspection, the
     condition of the Aircraft does not comply with this Agreement, Lessee will
     at Lessor's option:

(a)  immediately rectify the non-compliance and to the extent the non-compliance
     extends beyond the Expiry Date, the Tenn will be automatically extended and
     this Agreement will remain in force until the non-compliance has been
     rectified; or

(b)  redeliver the Aircraft to Lessor and indemnify Lessor, and provide to
     Lessor's satisfaction cash as security for that indemnity, against the cost
     of putting the Aircraft into the condition required by this Agreement.

12.4 Redelivery : Upon redelivery Lessee will provide to Lessor all documents
     necessary to export the Aircraft from the Habitual Base (including, without
     limitation, a valid and subsisting export license for the Aircraft) and

<PAGE>

     in accordance with Clause 12. Without prejudice to the foregoing Lessor

(a)  may be exercised as often as necessary;

(b)  are cumulative and not exclusive of its rights under any law; and

(c)  may be waived only in writing and specifically.

Delay in exercising or non-exercise of any such right is not a waiver of that
right.

16.2 Delegation : Lessor may delegate to any person or persons all or any of the
     trusts, powers or discretions vested in it by these presents and any such
     delegation may be made upon such terms and conditions and subject to such
     regulations (including power to sub-delegate) as Lessor in its absolute
     discretion thinks fit.

16.3 Certificates : Save where expressly provided in this Agreement, any
     certificate or determination by Lessor as to any rate of interest or as to
     any other amount payable under this Agreement will, in the absence of
     manifest error, be conclusive and binding on Lessee.

16.4 Appropriation : If any sum paid or recovered in respect of the liabilities
     of Lessee under this Agreement is less than the amount then due, Lessor may
     apply that sum to amounts due under this Agreement in such proportions and
     order and generally in such manner as Lessor may determine at its sole
     discretion.

16.5 Currency Indemnity :

(a)  If Lessor receives an amount in respect of Lessee's liability under this
     Agreement or if such liability is converted into a claim, proof, judgment
     or order in a currency other than the currency (the "contractual currency")
     in which the amount is expressed to be payable under this Agreement:

     (i) Lessee will indemnify Lessor as an independent obligation against any
     loss arising out of or as a result of such conversion;

     (ii) If the amount received by Lessor, when converted into the contractual
     currency (at the market rate at which Lessor is able on the date of receipt
     by Lessor (or on the next date thereafter on which under normal banking
     practice Lessor is able to convert the amount received into the

                                      -46-
<PAGE>

     contractual currency) to purchase the contractual currency in London or at
     its option New York with that other currency) is less than the amount owed
     in the contractual currency, Lessee will, forthwith on demand, pay to
     Lessor an amount in the contractual currency equal to the deficit; and

     (iii) Lessee will pay to Lessor on demand any exchange costs and Taxes
     payable in connection with the conversion;

(b)  Lessee waives any right it may have in any jurisdiction to pay any amount
     under this Agreement in a currency other than that in which it is expressed
     to be payable.

16.6 Set-off : Lessor may set off any matured obligation owed by Lessee under
     this Agreement, the Other Leases or under any other agreement between
     Lessor (or any affiliate or associate of Lessor) and Lessee (to the extent
     beneficially owned by Lessor) against any obligation (whether or not
     matured) owed by Lessor to Lessee, regardless of the place of payment or
     currency. If the obligations are in different currencies, Lessor may
     convert either obligation at the market rate of exchange available in
     London or at its option New York for the purpose of the set-off. If an
     obligation is un ascertained or un liquidated, Lessor may in good faith
     estimate that obligation and set off in respect of the estimate, subject to
     the relevant party accounting to the other when the obligation is
     ascertained or liquidated. Lessor will not be obliged to pay any amounts to
     Lessee under this Agreement so long as any sums which are then due from
     Lessee under this Agreement, the Other Leases or under any other agreement
     between Lessor (or any affiliate or associate of Lessor) and Lessee remain
     unpaid and any such amounts which would otherwise be due will fall due only
     if and when Lessee has paid all such sums except to the extent Lessor
     otherwise agrees or sets off such amounts against such payment pursuant to
     the foregoing.

16.7 SeverabiIity : If a provision of this Agreement is or becomes illegal,
     invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, that will not affect:

(a)  the legality, validity or enforceability in that jurisdiction of any other
     provision of this Agreement; or

(b)  the legality, validity or enforceability in any other jurisdiction of that
     or any other provision of this Agreement.

16.8 Remedy : If Lessee fails to comply with any provision of this Agreement,
     Lessor may, without being in any way obliged to do so or responsible for so
     doing and without prejudice to the ability of Lessor to treat the
     non-compliance as a Default or an Event of Default, effect compliance on
     behalf of Lessee, whereupon Lessee shall become liable to pay immediately
     any sums expended by Lessor together with all costs and expenses (including
     legal costs) in connection therewith.

     In the event that Lessee obtains a judgment against Lessor, Lessee shall be
     entitled to receive all costs and expenses (including legal costs) in
     connection therewith.

16.9 Expenses : Whether or not the Aircraft is accepted by Lessee pursuant to
     this Agreement, if

                                      -47-

     the Aircraft.

     of America.

      payable by Lessee to Lessor and for the performance of Lessee's other
      obligations under this Agreement will be of the essence of this Agreement.

18.   SECTION 1110

18.1  Section 1110 : Lessee acknowledges that Lessor would not have entered
      into this Agreement unless it had available to it the benefits of a lessor
      under Section 1110 of Title 11 of the United States code. Lessee
      covenants and agrees with Lessor that to better ensure the availability of
      such benefits, Lessee shall support any motion, petition or application
      filed by Lessor with any bankruptcy court having jurisdiction over Lessee,
      whereby Lessor seeks recovery of possession of the Aircraft under said
      Section 1110 and shall not in any way oppose such action by Lessor unless
      Lessee shall have complied with the requirements of said Section 1110 to
      be fulfilled in order to entitle Lessee to continued use and possession of
      the Aircraft hereunder. In the event said Section 1110 is amended, or if
      it is repealed and another statute is enacted in lieu thereof, Lessor and
      Lessee agree to amend this Agreement and take such other action not
      inconsistent with this Agreement as Lessor reasonably deems necessary so
      as to afford to Lessor the rights and benefits as such amended or
      substituted statute confers upon owners and lessors of aircraft similarly
      situated to Lessor.

18.2  The Lessor and the Lessee intend that this Agreement constitute a "true
      lease" and a lease for all United States federal income tax purposes. The
      Lessor and the Lessee further intend and agree that the Lessor shall be
      entitled to the full benefits afforded lessors of aircraft under 11
      U.S.C. Section 1110, as amended.
