2.2      LESSOR'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

<PAGE>

3.2      WAIVER

         If any Lessor Condition Precedent is not satisfied, or waived in
         writing by Lessor, on or before the Delivery Date and Lessor (in its
         absolute discretion) nonetheless agrees to deliver the Aircraft to
         Lessee and to start the leasing of the Aircraft, Lessee will ensure
         that such Lessor Condition Precedent is fulfilled within thirty (30)
         days after the Delivery Date, and Lessor may treat as an Event of
         Default the failure of Lessee to do so.

4.       COMMENCEMENT

4.1      LEASING

         (a)      The Aircraft Lease Agreement will generally provide a
                  Scheduled Delivery Month. Unless a specific Scheduled Delivery
                  Week or a specific Scheduled Delivery Date has been agreed in
                  the Aircraft Lease Agreement, Lessor shall notify Lessee of
                  the Scheduled Delivery Week as soon as possible, but no later
                  than thirty (30) days prior to the anticipated Delivery Date,
                  and unless a specific Scheduled Delivery Date has been agreed
                  in the Aircraft Lease Agreement, Lessor shall notify Lessee of
                  the Scheduled Delivery Date as soon as practicable but no
                  later than one (1) week prior to the Scheduled Delivery Week,
                  and Lessor shall notify Lessee of any change in the Scheduled
                  Delivery Date as soon as practicable thereafter. Subject to
                  Section 4.4, Lessor will lease the Aircraft to Lessee and
                  Lessee will take the Aircraft on lease for the Term, which
                  shall be evidenced by Lessee's execution of Lease Supplement
                  No. 1.

         (b)      If (i) Lessee is unwilling or unable to accept delivery of the
                  Aircraft on the date on which Lessor tenders the Aircraft for
                  Delivery to Lessee under and in accordance with Section
                  4.3(a), or Lessee fails to fulfill any Lessor Condition
                  Precedent on or before such date, and (ii) the Lessee
                  Conditions Precedent are met (or would reasonably be expected
                  to be met if Delivery had occurred), then the Rent
                  Commencement Date for the Aircraft shall be deemed to have
                  occurred on the date on which the Aircraft is tendered by
                  Lessor for Delivery in accordance with subsection (ii) of this
                  Section 4.1(b), and Lessee shall be obligated to pay Rent for
                  the Aircraft on and from such date regardless of whether the
                  Delivery Date occurs or whether Lessee executes Lease
                  Supplement No. 1, but Lessor shall have no obligation to
                  deliver, and Lessee shall have no lease interest in the
                  Aircraft or other right to, possession of the Aircraft unless
                  and until Lessee fulfills all Lessor Conditions Precedent as
                  and when provided in the Lease and Lessee accepts delivery of
                  the Aircraft as evidenced by its execution of Lease Supplement
                  No. 1, and so long as no Default has occurred and is
                  continuing.

         LESSEE WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH (I) THE USE
         AND OPERATION OF THE AIRCRAFT AND (II) ANY LOSS OF OR DAMAGE TO THE
         AIRCRAFT FROM THE DELIVERY DATE UNTIL POSSESSION OF THE AIRCRAFT IS
         RETURNED TO LESSOR ON THE RETURN

         OCCASION AND LESSOR EXECUTES AND DELIVERS THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
         CONTEMPLATED BY SECTION 12.4.

4.2      PROCEDURE BEFORE DELIVERY

         Lessor and Lessee will follow the Pre-Delivery Procedure.

4.3      DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE

         After the Pre-Delivery Procedure has been carried out:

         (a)      Subject to Section 3.1, Lessor will tender delivery of the
                  Aircraft to Lessee at the Delivery Location.

         (b)      Subject to Section 3.1, Lessee will accept the Aircraft.
                  Lessee shall also provide evidence of its acceptance by
                  signing Lease Supplement No. 1 and delivering it to Lessor.

         (c)      Lessee's acceptance of the Aircraft shall be regarded as
                  absolute, unconditional and irrevocable.

         The Term will commence on the Delivery Date, which Delivery Date is
         scheduled to occur on the Scheduled Delivery Date, and will expire on
         the Scheduled Expiry Date unless terminated earlier in accordance with
         the provisions of the Lease.

4.4      DELAYED DELIVERY

         (a)      If Delivery takes place after the Scheduled Delivery Date or
                  does not happen due to an Unforeseen Event or for any other
                  reason (other than an act or omission of Lessor not relating
                  to, or caused by, an Unforeseen Event):

                  (i)      Lessor will not be responsible for any Losses that
                           Lessee suffers resulting from the delay or from the
                           non-delivery of the Aircraft; and

                  (ii)     Lessee will not, except in the circumstances
                           described in Section 4.4(b), be entitled to terminate
                           the Lease or to reject the Aircraft when it is
                           offered for Delivery because of the delay.

         (b)      If the Aircraft has not been tendered for Delivery, in
                  accordance with Section 4.3, by the Final Delivery Date,
                  either party may terminate the Lease by delivering notice to
                  the other party within ten (10) days following the Final
                  Delivery Date. Upon delivery of any such notice, all
                  obligations of each party under the Lease will end on the date
                  of such notice, except that Lessor will repay to Lessee an
                  amount equal to the Deposit (if any), return to Lessee or
                  agree to the cancellation of any Letter of Credit, and release
                  and return any Guarantee given in respect of the Lease. Lessee
                  will remain obligated under its indemnity set forth in Section
                  3 of Schedule 4.

                                     - 4 -

<PAGE>

         (c)      Lessee hereby agrees that its only right or remedy for a delay
                  in delivery of the Aircraft due to an Unforeseen Event or for
                  any other reason (other than an act or omission of Lessor not
                  relating to, or caused by, an Unforeseen Event) is the remedy
                  set forth in Section 4.4(b) above and Lessee hereby waives any
                  rights or remedies it may have under Section 2A-406 of the UCC
                  or otherwise for any delay in or failure of delivery.

5.       PAYMENTS

5.1      DEPOSIT

         Lessee shall pay Lessor the Deposit, if any, specified in the Aircraft
         Lease Agreement.

5.2      RENTAL PERIODS

         The first Rental Period will start on the Rent Commencement Date. Each
         subsequent Rental Period will start on the date immediately following
         the last day of the previous Rental Period. Each Rental Period will end
         on the date immediately before the numerically corresponding day in the
         next month, except that:

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

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

5.3      RENT

         (a)      Time of Payment: Lessee will pay to Lessor or its order Rent
                  in advance, as specified in the Aircraft Lease Agreement, on
                  each Rent Date. Lessor must receive value for the payment on
                  each Rent Date. If a Rental Period begins on a day that is not
                  a Business Day, the Rent payable in respect of that Rental
                  Period shall be paid on the Business Day immediately before
                  that day.

         (b)      Amount: The Rent payable during the Term shall be calculated
                  as provided in the Aircraft Lease Agreement.

5.4      SUPPLEMENTAL RENT

         (a)      Amount: If, under the Aircraft Lease Agreement, Lessee is
                  required to pay Supplemental Rent, Lessee will pay that
                  Supplemental Rent, at the rates referred to in the Aircraft
                  Lease Agreement, to Lessor in relation to each calendar month
                  (or part of a month) of the Term, on the fifteenth (15th) day
                  following the end of that calendar month (except that the last
                  payment of Supplemental Rent in respect of the Term shall be
                  paid on the Expiry Date).

                                     - 5 -

<PAGE>

         (b)      Adjustment: The Supplemental Rent rates shall be adjusted
                  after the Delivery Date not more frequently than annually
                  (with any such adjustment having retrospective application as
                  appropriate to reflect the provisions of paragraphs (ii),
                  (iii) and (iv) below) based on the following:

                  (i)      Annual Supplemental Rent Adjustment: by the Annual
                           Supplemental Rent Adjustment, compounded annually
                           commencing on the first anniversary of the Delivery
                           Date, as an agreed inflation adjustment.

                  (ii)     Hour to Cycle Ratio Adjustment: Lessor and Lessee
                           acknowledge that the Aircraft Lease Agreement may
                           provide that the Engine Supplemental Rent rate and
                           the Engine LLP Supplemental Rent rate are based upon
                           the assumption that the Aircraft will operate on an
                           Assumed Ratio. If that assumption proves to be
                           incorrect at any time during the Term based upon
                           Lessee's actual operating experience during the most
                           recently preceding twelve (12) months that data is
                           available at the time of determination, and the hour
                           to cycle ratio differs from Assumed Ratio by more
                           than 0.2 during such twelve (12) month period, Lessor
                           shall have the right, upon written notice to Lessee,
                           to adjust the Engine Supplemental Rent rate and the
                           Engine LLP Supplemental Rent rate (in the case of a
                           decrease in the ratio below the Assumed Ratio) and
                           Lessor, upon written request from Lessee, will make
                           that adjustment (in the case of an increase in the
                           ratio above the Assumed Ratio). Any adjustment shall
                           be based on a table contained in the Aircraft Lease
                           Agreement. Actual hour to cycle ratios may fall
                           outside the ratios identified in that table. In that
                           case, the actual values shall be determined by
                           extrapolating the closest observed intervals in the
                           table.

                  (iii)    Assumed Utilization Adjustment: Lessor and Lessee
                           acknowledge that the Aircraft Lease Agreement may
                           provide that any amounts of Airframe Supplemental
                           Rent, APU Supplemental Rent and Landing Gear
                           Supplemental Rent payable by Lessee are based upon
                           the assumption that the Aircraft will operate on an
                           Assumed Utilization. If that assumption proves to be
                           incorrect at any time during the Term based upon
                           Lessee's actual operating experience during the most
                           recently preceding twelve (12) months that data is
                           available at the time of determination, such that
                           Lessee's actual utilization of the Aircraft is (x)
                           ***** or greater or (y) ***** or less than the
                           Assumed Utilization, Lessor may make, and notify
                           Lessee of, such adjustment up or down, as applicable,
                           as Lessor reasonably determines is necessary or
                           appropriate in its reasonable discretion to maintain
                           the rates of Airframe Supplemental Rent, APU
                           Supplemental Rent and Landing Gear Supplemental Rent
                           at levels which accurately reflect the costs
                           associated with obtaining relevant maintenance
                           services at prevailing industry rates.

                  (iv)     Material Revision to Maintenance Program: If the
                           Lessee's Maintenance Program is materially revised
                           and the result of such revision is to materially
                           increase or decrease the cost of obtaining relevant
                           maintenance services above and beyond or below those
                           contemplated by any Supplemental Rent rate then in
                           effect, Lessor may make, and notify Lessee of, such
                           adjustment up or down, as applicable, as Lessor
                           reasonably determines is necessary or appropriate in
                           its reasonable discretion to maintain the
                           Supplemental Rent at levels which accurately reflect
                           the costs associated with obtaining relevant
                           maintenance services at prevailing industry rates.

                  (v)      Each notice by Lessor specified in paragraphs (ii),
                           (iii) and (iv) above shall specify the relevant
                           revised Supplemental Rent rates and the effective
                           date of such revision and Lessee shall be bound by
                           such notice absent manifest error.

                  (vi)     Lessee agrees to advise Lessor, in writing, within
                           thirty (30) days following any annualized calculation
                           which would result in the assumptions mentioned in
                           paragraphs (ii) and (iii) above becoming incorrect at
                           any time during the Term.

         (c)      Lessor's Property Rights: Lessee acknowledges and agrees that
                  Supplemental Rent is additional rent for the leasing of the
                  Aircraft and not cash collateral or other collateral security
                  for Lessee's maintenance obligations under the Lease. Once
                  paid, all Supplemental Rent is the property of Lessor, it is
                  not refundable to Lessee under any circumstances whatsoever
                  and Lessee has no interest therein whatsoever. For the
                  avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 5.4(c) do
                  not derogate from the provisions set forth in Section 7.2 on
                  Maintenance Contributions.

5.5      PAYMENTS

         All payments by Lessee to Lessor under the Lease will be made for value
         on the due date in Dollars and in immediately available funds by wire
         transfer to Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, 4 Albany Street, New
         York, NY, ABA Number 021 001 033, Swift Code BKTRUS 33, for the account
         of GE Capital Aviation Services, Inc., as Manager, Account number 50
         234 585, or such other account as Lessor designates in writing from
         time to time.

5.6      WITHHOLDING

         (a)      WITHHOLDING: Lessee must not deduct any amount from any of its
                  payments under the Lease, for or on account of any Taxes
                  (other than Lessor Taxes), unless it is required by Law to do
                  so, in which case Lessee must:

                  (i)      deduct the minimum amount necessary to comply with
                           the Law;

                                     - 7 -

<PAGE>

                  (ii)     pay Lessor an extra amount so that Lessor receives a
                           net amount on the relevant payment date that is equal
                           to the amount that it would have received if the
                           deduction had not been made. The amount of any such
                           payment to Lessor shall be made taking into account
                           the principles of Section 5.10 so that Lessor shall
                           be in no worse position than it would have been if
                           the deduction had not applied in the first place;

                  (iii)    pay the Tax to the relevant taxing authority
                           according to the relevant Law; and

                  (iv)     obtain a receipt (if one is available) from the
                           relevant taxing authority and give it to Lessor.

         (b)      REPAYMENT OF LESSOR TAXES: If, for any reason, Lessee is
                  required to make any payment of withholding Taxes to a taxing
                  authority (which payment was not deducted from the payment
                  made by Lessee to Lessor on whom such Taxes are imposed) with
                  respect to, or as a result of, any withholding Taxes imposed
                  with respect to a payment pursuant to the Lease which
                  withholding Tax is not the responsibility of Lessee under
                  Section 5.7(a) as a result of Section 5.7(c), then, upon
                  written request of Lessee, Lessor promptly (and in any event
                  within twenty days after receipt of notice of payment of the
                  withholding Taxes and appropriate payment documentation with
                  respect thereto) shall pay to Lessee an amount that equals
                  such withholding Taxes.

5.8      VALUE ADDED TAX

         (a)      For the purposes of this Section 5.8:

                  (i)      "VAT" means value added tax and any goods and
                           services, sales or turnover tax, imposition or levy
                           of a like nature; and

                  (ii)     "supply" includes anything on or in respect of which
                           VAT is chargeable.

         (b)      Lessee will pay to Lessor or the relevant taxing authority and
                  indemnify Lessor against the amount of any VAT chargeable in
                  respect of any supply for VAT purposes under the Lease. Lessee
                  shall provide evidence to Lessor, if available, in respect of
                  any payment it makes of such VAT. The amount of any such
                  payment to Lessor shall be made taking into account the
                  principles of Section 5.10;

         (c)      Each amount stated as payable by Lessee under the Lease is
                  exclusive of VAT (if any);

         (d)      If, for any reason, Lessee is required to make any payment of
                  VAT to a taxing authority (which payment was not deducted from
                  the payment made by Lessee to Lessor on whom such Tax is
                  imposed) with respect to, or as a result of, any VAT imposed
                  with respect to a payment pursuant to the Lease which VAT is
                  not the responsibility of Lessee under Section 5.7(a) as a
                  result of Section 5.7(c), then, upon written request of
                  Lessee, Lessor promptly (and in any event within twenty days
                  after receipt of notice of payment of the VAT and appropriate
                  payment documentation with respect thereto) shall pay to
                  Lessee an amount that equals such VAT.

5.9      TAX CONTEST

         (a)      If a Tax Indemnitee receives a written claim for any Tax for
                  which Lessee would be required to pay an indemnity pursuant to
                  Section 5.7(a)(i), the Tax Indemnitee shall notify Lessee
                  promptly of such claim, provided that any failure to provide
                  such notice will not relieve Lessee of any indemnification
                  obligation pursuant to Section 5.7. If requested by Lessee in
                  writing promptly after receipt of the Tax Indemnitee's notice,
                  the Tax Indemnitee shall, upon receipt of indemnity reasonably
                  satisfactory to it and at the expense of Lessee (including all
                  costs, expenses, legal and accountants' fees and
                  disbursements, and penalties, interest and additions to tax
                  incurred in contesting such claim) in good faith contest or
                  (if permitted by applicable Law and the contest does not
                  relate to income Taxes) permit Lessee to contest such claim by
                  (i) resisting payment thereof if practicable and appropriate,
                  (ii) not paying the same except under protest if protest is
                  necessary and proper, or (iii) if payment is made, using
                  reasonable efforts to obtain a refund of such Taxes in
                  appropriate administrative and judicial proceedings. The Tax
                  Indemnitee shall determine the method of any contest conducted
                  by the Tax Indemnitee and (in good faith consultation with
                  Lessee) control the conduct thereof. Lessee shall determine
                  the method of any contest conducted by Lessee and (in good
                  faith consultation with the Tax Indemnitee) control the
                  conduct thereof. Lessee shall pay in full all payments of Rent
                  and other amounts payable pursuant to the Lease, without
                  reduction for or on account of any Tax, while such contest is
                  continuing. The Tax Indemnitee shall not be required to
                  contest, or to continue to contest, a claim for Taxes under
                  this Section 5.9 if (w) in the case of a contest related to
                  income Taxes, the amount of Taxes at issue is less than *****,
                  or (x) such contest would result in a risk of criminal
                  penalties or risk of a sale, forfeiture or loss of, or the
                  imposition of a Security

                  Interest (other than a Permitted Lien) on, the Aircraft, or
                  (y) Lessee shall not have furnished, at Lessee's expense, an
                  opinion of independent tax counsel selected by the Tax
                  Indemnitee and reasonably satisfactory to Lessee, that a
                  reasonable basis exists for such contest, or (z) a Default
                  shall be continuing (unless Lessee shall have provided
                  security reasonably satisfactory to the Tax Indemnitee
                  securing Lessee's performance of its obligations under this
                  Section 5.9). If the Tax Indemnitee contests any claim for
                  Taxes by making a payment and seeking a refund thereof, then
                  Lessee shall advance to the Tax Indemnitee, on an
                  interest-free basis, an amount equal to the Taxes to be paid
                  by the Tax Indemnitee in connection with the contest and shall
                  indemnify the Tax Indemnitee on an After-Tax Basis for any
                  adverse tax consequences to the Tax Indemnitee of such
                  interest-free advance. Upon the final determination of any
                  contest pursuant to this Section 5.9 in respect of any Taxes
                  for which Lessee shall have made an advance to the Tax
                  Indemnitee in accordance with the immediately preceding
                  sentence, the amount of Lessee's obligation shall be
                  determined as if such advance had not been made; any indemnity
                  obligation of Lessee to the Tax Indemnitee under this Section
                  5.9 and the Tax Indemnitee's obligation to repay the advance
                  will be satisfied first by setoff against each other, and any
                  difference owing by either party shall be paid within *****
                  days after such final determination.

         (b)      If any Tax Indemnitee obtains a refund or reimbursement of all
                  or any part of any Taxes for which a full indemnity was paid
                  by Lessee under Section 5.7 hereof or otherwise, such Tax
                  Indemnitee shall pay Lessee the amount of such refund or
                  reimbursement, reduced by any Taxes imposed on such Tax
                  Indemnitee on receipt or accrual of such refund or
                  reimbursement and increased by any Taxes saved by such Tax
                  Indemnitee by reason of the deductions, credits, allocations
                  or allowances in respect of such payment by Lessee. If, in
                  addition to such refund or reimbursement, a Tax Indemnitee
                  receives an amount representing interest on such refund or
                  reimbursement, such Tax Indemnitee shall pay to Lessee the
                  portion of such interest which is fairly attributable to such
                  refund, reduced by any Taxes imposed on such Tax Indemnitee on
                  receipt or accrual of such interest and increased by any Taxes
                  saved by reason of the deductions, credits, allocations or
                  allowances in respect of such payment. A Tax Indemnitee shall
                  not be required to make any payment to Lessee pursuant to this
                  Section 5.9 if, and for so long as, a Payment Default or an
                  Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

         (c)      Any Tax Indemnitee in its sole discretion (by written notice
                  to Lessee) may waive its rights to indemnification pursuant to
                  Section 5.7 with respect to any claim for any Tax and may
                  refrain from contesting or continuing the contest of such
                  claim, in which event Lessee shall have no obligation to
                  indemnify such Tax Indemnitee for the Taxes that are the
                  subject of such claim. If any Tax Indemnitee agrees to a
                  settlement of any contest conducted pursuant to this Section
                  5.9 without the prior

                  written consent of Lessee, which consent shall not be
                  unreasonably withheld, then such Tax Indemnitee shall be
                  deemed to have waived its rights to the indemnification
                  provided for in Section 5.7 with respect to the Tax liability
                  accepted in such settlement.

         (d)      Information:

                  (i)      If Lessee is required by any applicable Law, or by
                           any third party, to deliver any report or return in
                           connection with any Taxes for which Lessee would be
                           obligated to indemnify Lessor or any other Tax
                           Indemnitee under the Lease, Lessee will complete the
                           same and, on request, supply a copy of the report or
                           return to Lessor. Should Lessee require any
                           information exclusively within the Control of Lessor
                           or another Tax Indemnitee to properly complete and
                           deliver any such report or return, Lessor or such
                           other Tax Indemnitee shall, at Lessee's expense,
                           furnish such information to Lessee promptly after
                           request therefor.

                  (ii)     If any report, return or statement is required to be
                           made by Lessor or any other Tax Indemnitee with
                           respect to any Tax for which there is an indemnity
                           obligation of Lessee under the Lease, and Lessee
                           knows of, or reasonably should have known of, such
                           return, report or statement, Lessee will promptly
                           notify Lessor of the requirement and:

                                    (A)      if permitted by applicable Law,
                                             make and timely file such report,
                                             return or statement (except for any
                                             report, return or statement that
                                             Lessor has notified Lessee that
                                             Lessor or any other Tax Indemnitee
                                             intends to prepare and file),
                                             prepare such return in such manner
                                             as will show Lessor as lessor of
                                             the Aircraft and the ownership of
                                             the Aircraft in Owner if required
                                             or appropriate, and provide Lessor
                                             upon request a copy of each such
                                             report, return or statement filed
                                             by Lessee, or

                                    (B)      if Lessee is not permitted by
                                             applicable Law to file any such
                                             report, return or statement, Lessee
                                             will prepare and deliver to Lessor
                                             a proposed form of such report,
                                             return or statement within a
                                             reasonable time prior to the time
                                             such report, return or statement is
                                             to be filed.

                  (iii)    Lessee will provide such information and documents as
                           Lessor may reasonably request to enable Lessor or any
                           other Tax Indemnitee to comply with its tax filing,
                           audit and litigation obligations. Lessor or any other
                           Tax Indemnitee will provide such information or
                           documents, at Lessee's expense, that Lessee does not
                           otherwise have as Lessee may reasonably request and
                           which are necessary to enable Lessee to comply with
                           its obligations under the Lease (including Sections
                           5.6 and 5.7 of this CTA and in the Aircraft Lease
                           Agreement).

5.10     INDEMNITY PAYMENTS - AFTER-TAX BASIS; TAX CREDIT

         (a)      AFTER-TAX BASIS: The amount of any payment made under Section
                  5.6, Section 5.7 (including Section 5.7(d)), Section 5.8,
                  Section 5.21, Section 8.13, Section 10, Section 11.1(c),
                  Section 12.2, or Section 13 to or for the benefit of any
                  Indemnitee, shall include such amount as may be necessary to
                  hold such Indemnitee harmless on an After-Tax Basis from all
                  Taxes required to be paid by such Indemnitee with respect to
                  such payment or indemnity (including any payments pursuant to
                  this Section 5.10 determined based on the assumption that at
                  the time each such payment or indemnity is accrued by the
                  relevant Indemnitee, such payment or indemnity will be subject
                  to (i) United States federal income tax at the highest
                  marginal statutory tax rate applicable to corporations in the
                  highest taxable income bracket, (ii) United States state and
                  local income taxes at the composite of the highest marginal
                  statutory tax rates applicable to the Tax Indemnitee and (iii)
                  income taxes (if any) imposed by countries outside the United
                  States at the actual rates imposed on the relevant
                  Indemnitee).

         (b)      TAX CREDIT: If Lessor, in good faith, determines that it has
                  realized a tax benefit (by way of deduction, credit or
                  otherwise) as a result of any payment or Tax for which Lessee
                  is liable under Section 5.6(a) 5.7 or 5.8, Lessor shall pay to
                  Lessee as soon as practicable after the tax benefit has been
                  realized (but not before Lessee has made all payments and
                  indemnities to Lessor required under Section 5.6, 5.7 or 5.8)
                  an amount which will ensure that (after taking account of the
                  payment itself) Lessor is in no better and no worse position
                  than it would have been if the deduction had not applied.
                  Nothing in this Section 5.10(b) shall:

                  (i)      interfere with the right of Lessor to arrange its tax
                           affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit; or

         oblige Lessor to disclose any information relating to its Tax affairs
         or any Tax computations (other than computations made with respect to
         any amounts claimed by Lessor from Lessee pursuant to this Section 5.6,
         Section 5.7 or Section 5.8 hereof); provided, however, that if any of
         the information related to the computations is contained in tax returns
         or other documents involving matters unrelated to the Lease or is
         otherwise confidential information, then such information shall be
         confirmed by Lessor's independent auditors.

5.11     LESSOR OBLIGATIONS FOLLOWING EXPIRY DATE

         Within ninety-one (91) days (or such shorter period of not less than
         thirty (30) days after the Expiry Date to which Lessor may agree after
         Lessee demonstrates to Lessor's reasonable satisfaction that there is
         no risk whatsoever of any payment made or to be made under the Lease
         being avoided (or otherwise rescinded) under Section 547 of the United
         States Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended, or any similar occurrence
         under any analogous provision of applicable United States federal or
         state Law) after:

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

                                     - 12 -

<PAGE>

         (b)      payment to Lessor of the Agreed Value following an Event of
                  Loss after the Delivery Date; or

         (c)      termination of the Lease prior to the commencement of the Term
                  in accordance with the provisions of the Lease; or

         (d)      or in each case such later time as Lessor is reasonably
                  satisfied that Lessee has irrevocably paid to Lessor all
                  amounts that may then be due and payable under the Lease and
                  the Other Agreements and in each case so long as no Default
                  has occurred and is continuing:

                  (i)      Lessor will pay to Lessee an amount equal to the
                           balance of the Deposit (if any);

                  (ii)     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; and

                  (iii)    Lessor will return to Lessee or agree to the
                           cancellation of any Letter of Credit.

5.12     NET LEASE

         The Lease is a net lease. Lessee's obligation to pay Rent and to
         perform all of its other obligations under the Lease is absolute and
         unconditional no matter what happens and no matter how fundamental or
         unforeseen the event, including any of the following:

         (a)      any right of set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or
                  other right which either party to the Lease may have against
                  the other (including any right of reimbursement) or which
                  Lessee may have against the Manufacturer, any manufacturer or
                  seller of or any Person providing services with respect to the
                  Aircraft, any Engine or any Part or any other Person, for any
                  reason whatsoever;

         (b)      any unavailability of the Aircraft for any reason, including 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 (whether or not
                  the same would, but for this provision, result in the
                  termination of the Lease by operation of law);

         (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, Lessee or any other Person;

                                     - 13 -

<PAGE>

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

         (f)      any Security Interests or Taxes; and/or

         (g)      any other cause or circumstance which but for this provision
                  would or might otherwise have the effect of terminating or in
                  any way affecting any obligation of Lessee under the Lease.
                  Lessee acknowledges and agrees that it has used its own
                  judgment in selecting the Aircraft, and has not relied on
                  Lessor or on any information supplied by Lessor, that Lessor
                  is not a manufacturer of or dealer in aircraft and that Lessor
                  has all of the rights and benefits of a lessor under a lease
                  to which Section 2A-407 of the UCC applies as provided in such
                  Section 2A-407.

         Except as expressly set forth elsewhere in the Lease, Lessee hereby
         waives, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, any and all right
         which it may now have or which at any time hereafter may be conferred
         upon it, by statute or otherwise, to terminate, abate, cancel, quit,
         reduce, defer, suspend or surrender the Lease or the Aircraft or any
         obligation imposed upon Lessee under the Lease (including payment of
         Rent or Supplemental Rent).

         Each payment of Rent or Supplemental Rent made by Lessee shall be
         final. Lessee will not seek to recover all or any part of any payment
         of Rent or Supplemental Rent for any reason whatsoever except manifest
         error.

         If for any reason whatsoever the Lease shall be terminated in whole or
         in part by operation of Law, except as specifically provided in the
         Lease, Lessee waives all rights (if any) to any termination or
         diminution in its Rent or Supplemental Rent obligations under the Lease
         and nonetheless agrees to pay to Lessor, an amount equal to each Rent
         and Supplemental Rent payment at the time such payments would have
         become due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Lease had
         the Lease not been terminated in whole or in part and so long as such
         payments are made and all other terms and conditions of the Lease are
         complied with by Lessee, Lessor and Lessee will deem the Lease to
         remain in full force and effect and Lessee shall continue in possession
         of the Aircraft under the terms and conditions of the Lease.

Nothing in this Section 5.12 will be construed to limit Lessee's right to
institute separate legal proceedings against Lessor in the event of Lessor's
breach of the Lease as and to the extent permitted by Sections 7.1 and 16.3 of
this CTA and as otherwise permitted by applicable Law, or to limit Lessee's
rights and remedies against any other Person.

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 5.12 shall be construed to
require any payment of Taxes other than those Taxes expressly payable by Lessee
under the Lease.

5.13     FURTHER PROVISIONS REGARDING DEPOSIT

         (a)      If, under the Aircraft Lease Agreement, Lessee is required to
                  pay a Deposit, Lessee hereby grants a security interest in the
                  Deposit to Lessor as security for Lessee's and Lessee
                  Affiliates' obligations under the Lease and all Other

                                     - 14 -

<PAGE>

                  Agreements (including any and all Losses suffered or incurred
                  by Lessor or any of its Affiliates in respect of which Lessee
                  or any Lessee Affiliate is obligated under the Lease or any
                  Other Agreement) and the remaining provisions of this Section
                  5.13 shall apply. Lessee agrees that Lessor shall be entitled
                  to commingle the Deposit with Lessor's general or other funds,
                  Lessor will have no obligation to pay any interest thereon,
                  Lessor will not hold any such funds as agent or in trust for
                  Lessee or in any similar fiduciary capacity and Lessee's right
                  to payment of any amounts equal to the Deposit is limited as
                  set forth in the Lease. In this regard, Lessee acknowledges
                  and agrees that it is not located in the State of New York
                  within the meaning of Section 7-101 1-c. (b) of the New York
                  General Obligations Law and, therefore, the requirements of
                  Section 7-101 of the New York General Obligations Law to the
                  effect that Lessor hold the Deposit in a separate, interest
                  bearing account do not apply.

         (b)      If Lessee fails to comply with any provision of the Lease or
                  the Other Agreements, or any Payment Default or Event of
                  Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in addition to
                  all rights and remedies accorded to Lessor elsewhere in the
                  Lease or under Law in respect of the Deposit, Lessor may
                  immediately or at any time thereafter, without prior notice to
                  Lessee, apply all or part of the Deposit in or towards the
                  payment or discharge of any matured obligation owed by Lessee
                  or any Lessee Affiliate under the Lease or the Other
                  Agreements, in such order as Lessor sees fit, and/or exercise
                  any of the rights of set-off described in Section 5.20 against
                  all or part of the Deposit.

         (c)      If Lessor exercises the rights described in Section 5.13(b),
                  Lessee shall, following a demand in writing from Lessor,
                  within two (2) Business Days restore the Deposit to the level
                  at which it stood immediately prior to such exercise.

5.14     LETTER OF CREDIT

         (a)      If, under the Aircraft Lease Agreement, Lessee is required or
                  elects to provide Lessor with a Letter of Credit, the
                  provisions of this Section 5.14 shall apply. Any Letter of
                  Credit provided by Lessee to Lessor will be issued and payable
                  by a Pre-Approved Bank or another bank acceptable to Lessor in
                  its sole and absolute discretion substantially in the form of
                  Schedule 16 or as otherwise required or approved by Lessor
                  from time to time, in its sole judgment, and, if not issued by
                  a Pre-Approved Bank or by the New York branch of a major
                  international bank acceptable to Lessor in its sole and
                  absolute discretion from time to time, will be confirmed by
                  and payable at the New York branch of a major international
                  bank acceptable to Lessor in its sole and absolute discretion
                  from time to time. The Letter of Credit will be issued as
                  security for all obligations of Lessee or any Lessee Affiliate
                  to Lessor or any of its Affiliates (including any and all
                  Losses suffered or incurred by Lessor or any of its Affiliates
                  in respect of which Lessee or any of its Affiliates is
                  obligated under the Lease or any Other Agreement), and shall
                  remain in full force and effect and may be drawn down by
                  Lessor upon demand at any time or times following the
                  occurrence of a Default until the Required LC Expiry Date.

         (b)      The Letter of Credit may have a validity period or periods
                  ending prior to the Required LC Expiry Date, provided that (i)
                  the Letter of Credit shall, in each case, be renewed, extended
                  or reissued and delivered to Lessor not later than thirty (30)
                  days prior to its expiry (if not so renewed or extended in
                  such time, Lessor may draw on the Letter of Credit); and (ii)
                  a Letter of Credit shall remain in force at all times up to
                  the Required LC Expiry Date. Following any such drawing, the
                  amount so drawn shall be held by Lessor as a Deposit, subject
                  to the terms of the Lease, until such time as Lessee furnishes
                  to Lessor a new Letter of Credit complying with the terms of
                  the Lease (whereupon Lessor shall return the full amount of
                  such drawing to Lessee).

         (c)      If at any time during the Term, Lessor determines in its sole
                  and absolute discretion that the current issuing or confirming
                  bank for the Letter of Credit is no longer an acceptable
                  issuing or confirming bank (whether by virtue of a material
                  adverse change in its financial condition, a decrease in any
                  credit rating of its long-term unsecured debt obligations or
                  for any other reason) Lessor shall notify Lessee of such fact
                  and Lessee shall within ten (10) Business Days after the date
                  of such notice cause the Letter of Credit to be replaced by a
                  Letter of Credit issued by another bank acceptable to Lessor
                  in its sole and absolute discretion and (if requested by
                  Lessor in its sole and absolute discretion) that such
                  replacement Letter of Credit is confirmed by another bank
                  acceptable to Lessor in its sole discretion.

         (d)      If Lessor makes a drawing under the Letter of Credit, Lessee
                  shall, following a demand in writing by Lessor, immediately
                  cause the maximum amount available for drawing under the
                  Letter of Credit to be restored to the level at which it stood
                  immediately prior to such drawing.

5.15     GUARANTEE

         If Lessee is required to provide Lessor with a Guarantee under the
         Aircraft Lease Agreement, Lessee will contemporaneously with the
         execution of the Aircraft Lease Agreement, provide Lessor with the
         Guarantee.

5.16     LATE PAYMENT INTEREST

         If Lessee fails to pay any amount payable under the Lease 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 Interest Rate.
         All such interest will be compounded monthly and calculated on the
         basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the month, assuming a
         thirty (30) day month and a three hundred and sixty (360) day year.

5.17     CURRENCY

         (a)      Except for Losses and expenses suffered or incurred by Lessor,
                  which shall be payable by Lessee to Lessor in the currency and
                  in the amount in which such Loss is suffered or incurred, all
                  amounts payable to Lessor under the Lease shall be

<PAGE>

                  payable in Dollars in New York and payment in Dollars in New
                  York is of the essence. Lessee must indemnify Lessor against
                  any Loss Lessor suffers if:

                  (i)      Lessor receives an amount relating to Lessee's
                           obligations in a different currency from that in
                           which payments should be made under the Lease; or

                  (ii)     Lessee pays a judgment or claim in a different
                           currency from that in which payments should be made
                           under the Lease.

         Lessee relinquishes any right to pay any amount under the Lease in a
         currency that is different from the currency provided in the Lease.
         Notwithstanding any such receipt, judgment or claim described in
         Section 5.17(a), Lessee shall have a separate obligation to pay, and
         Lessor shall have a separate claim against Lessee for, amounts to be
         indemnified by Lessee under this Section 5.17.

5.18     CERTIFICATES

         Except where expressly provided in the Lease, any certificate or
         determination by Lessor as to any rate of interest or as to any other
         amount payable under the Lease will, in the absence of manifest error,
         be presumed to be correct.

5.19     APPROPRIATION

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

         *****

5.21     EXPENSES

         Lessee will pay to Lessor on demand all reasonable expenses (including
         all legal fees and expenses and the fees and expenses of other
         professional advisers) that Lessor suffers or incurs:

         (a)      to deal with any amendments, extensions, consents or waivers
                  that are requested by Lessee or required as a result of any
                  act or omission of Lessee in connection with the Lease (but
                  excluding any expenses incurred by Lessor or Owner in
                  connection with any change in the ownership or financing of
                  the Aircraft or a change in the Lease that is otherwise
                  requested by Lessor or Owner, and in each

                  with any replacement of any Engine or Part;

         (b)      for FAA counsel and otherwise to act upon any advice and
                  obtain assistance to perfect the Lease in the State of
                  Registry and the State of Incorporation (and any other
                  appropriate place); and

         (c)      in contemplation of, or otherwise in connection with, the
                  enforcement or preservation of any of Lessor's rights under
                  the Lease (including under Section 10) or in respect of the
                  repossession of any Aircraft.

         All amounts payable pursuant to this Section 5.21 will be paid in the
         currency in which they are incurred by Lessor.

5.22     OTHER OUTGOINGS

         Without duplication of amounts payable by Lessee under Section 5.7,
         Lessee will promptly pay all Taxes, other than any Taxes described in
         Section 5.7 (c), which it is required to pay and all other amounts of
         any nature imposed by any Government Entity with respect to the
         Aircraft and/or the Lease except to the extent that such payment is
         being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings in respect of
         which adequate reserves have been provided by Lessee and non-payment or
         contest of which does not give rise to any material risk of the
         Aircraft or any interest therein being sold, forfeited or otherwise
         lost or any risk of criminal liability on the part of Lessor or Owner.

6.       MANUFACTURERS' WARRANTIES

         (a)      So long as no Payment Default or Event of Default has occurred
                  which is continuing, Lessor shall make available to Lessee
                  during the Term the benefit of all manufacturers' warranties
                  in relation to the repair or remedy of any defect in the
                  Aircraft, the Engines or any Part or component thereof
                  (including compensation for loss of use of the Aircraft) and
                  other product support for the Aircraft to the extent that it
                  is permitted to do so. In furtherance of the foregoing, Lessor
                  shall take such actions, at Lessee's cost and expense, as
                  Lessee may reasonably request to make such warranties
                  available to Lessee. Lessee will give Lessor prompt written
                  notice of any warranty claim that is settled with Lessee on
                  the basis of a cash payment.

         (b)      If a Default has occurred and is continuing Lessor may
                  immediately recover from Lessee the proceeds of any warranty
                  claims previously paid to Lessee to the extent that such
                  claims relate to any defect in the Aircraft not fully and
                  completely rectified by Lessee before such Default and Lessor
                  may:

                  (i)      retain for its own account any such proceeds
                           previously paid to Lessor which would have been
                           remitted to Lessee under this Section 6 in the
                           absence of such Default; and

                                     - 18 -

<PAGE>

                  (ii)     cause any proceeds of any pending claims to be paid
                           to Lessor, rather than Lessee.

         Lessee will take all steps as are necessary at the end of the Term to
         ensure that the benefit of any warranties relating to the Aircraft
         (including those from manufacturers) that have not expired is vested in
         Lessor.

7.       LESSOR'S COVENANTS

7.1      QUIET ENJOYMENT

         So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessor
         will not interfere or permit any other Person lawfully claiming by,
         through or under Lessor to interfere with Lessee's right to quiet use
         and possession of the Aircraft during the Term. Lessor will cause Owner
         (if different from Lessor) to provide Lessee a letter of quiet
         enjoyment in respect of Lessee's use and possession of the Aircraft in
         a form substantially similar to Lessor's covenant in this Section 7.1.
         Exercise by Lessor of its rights of inspection or other rights provided
         to it under the Lease in the absence of an Event of Default shall not
         be considered to be a breach of the foregoing covenant. Lessee agrees
         that its only right with respect to a default by Lessor under the Lease
         is to make a claim against Lessor for damages resulting directly
         therefrom, subject to Section 16.3 hereof. Lessee hereby waives any and
         all other rights or remedies it may have under Section 2A-211 of the
         UCC or Sections 2A-508 through 2A-522 of the UCC or otherwise.

7.2       MAINTENANCE CONTRIBUTIONS

         If, under the Aircraft Lease Agreement for the Aircraft, Lessee is
         required to pay Supplemental Rent, then provided no Payment Default or
         Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessor will pay (as a
         separate and independent obligation and not as a return of Supplemental
         Rent) the following amounts to Lessee by way of contribution to the net
         cost of maintenance of the Aircraft (after deduction for all rebates,
         discounts, allowances, incentives, credits or any other reduction in
         cost actually received by Lessee), UPON RECEIPT BY LESSOR, WITHIN SIX
         (6) MONTHS AFTER COMMENCEMENT OF SUCH MAINTENANCE AND WITHIN SIXTY (60)
         DAYS FOLLOWING THE EXPIRY DATE, of an invoice and supporting
         documentation reasonably satisfactory to Lessor evidencing performance
         of the following work by the Maintenance Performer:

         (a)      Airframe: With respect to the Airframe, the completion, in
                  accordance with the Lease, of the Airframe Structural Check,
                  the lesser of (x) the net cost as shown on that invoice and
                  (y) an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Airframe
                  Supplemental Rent paid under the Lease for the period prior to
                  the date of such Airframe Structural Check, less the aggregate
                  amount previously paid by Lessor under this sub-section;

         (b)      Engine Life-Limited Parts: With respect to life-limited Parts
                  within any Engine, the performance, in accordance with the
                  Lease, of any replacement or repair of

                                     - 19 -

                  those Parts ("Engine LLP Replacement"), the lesser of (x) the
                  net cost as shown on that invoice and (y) an amount equal to
                  the aggregate amount of the Engine LLP Supplemental Rent paid
                  in respect of that Engine under the Lease for the period prior
                  to the date of such replacement or repair, less (aa) any
                  credit granted by the Maintenance Performer to Lessee in
                  respect of any repairable life-limited Part which has been
                  replaced (with such credit being calculated by reference to
                  the then remaining life of such life-limited Part) and (bb)
                  the aggregate amount previously paid in respect of that Engine
                  by Lessor under this sub-section;

         (c)      Engine Refurbishment: With respect to any Engine, the
                  performance, in accordance with the Lease, of Engine

                  net cost as shown on that invoice and (y) an amount equal to
                  the aggregate amount of the Engine Supplemental Rent paid
                  under the Lease in respect of that Engine for the period prior
                  to the date of such Engine Refurbishment less the aggregate
                  amount previously paid in respect of that Engine by Lessor
                  under this sub-section;

                  with the Lease, of all shop visits requiring APU removal and
                  disassembly, the lesser of (x) the net cost as shown on that
                  invoice and (y) an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the
                  APU Supplemental Rent paid under the Lease for the period
                  prior to the date of such shop visit, less the aggregate
                  amount previously paid by Lessor under this sub-section; and

         (e)      Landing Gear: With respect to the Landing Gear, the
                  performance in accordance with the Lease, of all work on the

                  the period prior to the date of such overhaul, less the
                  aggregate amount previously paid by Lessor under this
                  sub-section.

         PROVIDED THAT Lessor will not pay any such contribution:

                  a result of accidents or incidents (whether or not eligible
                  for recovery under Lessee's insurance), improper operation or
                  maintenance of the Aircraft or Airworthiness Directive work;
                  nor

         in respect of paragraphs (b) and (c) above, for work arising as a

8.3      LAWFUL AND SAFE OPERATION

         Lessee will operate the Aircraft for commercial purposes from the
         Delivery Date until the Return Occasion from a base within the Habitual
         Base or from such other base outside the State of Registry pursuant to
         sub-lease or a wet-lease complying with Section 8.4(a), provided always
         that Lessee must not use or operate the Aircraft or suffer or permit
         the Aircraft to be used or operated:

         (a)      in violation of any applicable Regulations or in a manner
                  causing Lessor, Owner, any Financing Party or GECAS to be in
                  violation of any applicable Regulations;

         (b)      for any purpose for which the Aircraft was not designed or
                  which is illegal;

         (c)      to carry hazardous cargo other than in conformity with
                  industry procedures and requirements of the Air Authority for
                  the carriage and handling of such cargo;

         (d)      in any circumstances or place where the Aircraft is not
                  covered by Insurance; or

         (e)      for purposes of training, qualifying or re-confirming the
                  status of cockpit personnel except for the benefit of Lessee's
                  or a Permitted Sub-Lessee's cockpit personnel, and then only
                  if the use of the Aircraft for such purpose is not
                  disproportionate to the use for such purpose of other aircraft
                  of the same type operated by Lessee or any Permitted
                  Sub-Lessee, as the case may be.

                  FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, AS BETWEEN LESSEE AND THE
                  INDEMNITEES, LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT:

                  (i)      LESSEE IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DETERMINATION
                           AND IMPLEMENTATION OF ALL SECURITY MEASURES AND

                           DESTRUCTION, BOMBING, TERRORISM OR SIMILAR ACTS,
                           DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY AFFECTING IN ANY WAY THE
                           AIRCRAFT OR ANY PART THEREOF, OR ANY PERSONS WHO
                           (WHETHER OR NOT ON BOARD THE AIRCRAFT) MAY SUSTAIN
                           ANY INJURY OR DAMAGE AS A RESULT OF ANY SUCH ACTS,
                           (B) THE USE OF THE AIRCRAFT IN ANY ACTS, INCLUDING
                           THOSE OF DESTRUCTION, BOMBING, TERRORISM OR SIMILAR
                           ACTS, AND (C) THE TAKING, THEFT OR USE OF ANY
                           PRODUCTS, CHEMICALS, GOODS, OR MATERIALS OF ANY KIND,

                           BEING TRANSPORTED VIA THE AIRCRAFT;

                  (ii)     LESSEE'S IMPLEMENTATION OF SUCH SECURITY MEASURES AND
                           SYSTEMS IS AN OBLIGATION OF LESSEE UNDER THE LEASE,
                           AND THAT LESSOR SHALL HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO
                           RESPONSIBILITY THEREFOR, AND

                           APPROPRIATE AND THAT IN DOING SO, LESSEE HAS NOT
                           RELIED UPON, AND SHALL NOT RELY UPON, ANY STATEMENT,

                  (i)      when the prior written consent of Lessor has been
                           obtained; or

                  (ii)     where the Aircraft, Engine or Part is delivered to a
                           manufacturer or maintenance facility for work to be
                           done on it as required or permitted under the Lease;
                           or

                  (iii)    to a sub-lessee of the Aircraft to which Lessor
                           consents in writing (a "Permitted Sub-Lessee"),
                           pursuant to a sub-lease to which Lessor consents in
                           writing, such consent not to be unreasonably
                           withheld, and which complies with the conditions set
                           out in Section 8.4(b) (a "Permitted Sub-Lease"), and
                           provided that no Default shall have occurred and be
                           continuing at the commencement of such sub-lease;

                  (iv)     provided that no Default has occurred and is
                           continuing, sub-lease up to two Aircraft at any one
                           time to one or more Certificated Air Carriers under a

                           "Short-term Sub-Lease"); provided, further that
                           Lessee will not enter into consecutive Short-term
                           Sub-Leases with the same operator.

                  (v)      provided that no Payment Default or Event of Default

                  (iv)     Subordination and Assignment: the Permitted Sub-Lease

                           subject and subordinate to the Lease in all respects
                           and the rights of the Permitted Sub-Lessee under the
                           Permitted Sub-Lease are subject and subordinate in
                           all respects to the rights of Lessor under the Lease;
                           and (bb) prior to delivery of the Aircraft to the
                           Permitted Sub-Lessee (as a condition precedent
                           thereof), the Permitted Sub-Lessee shall provide an
                           acknowledgement to Lessor and Owner in a form
                           reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, confirming its
                           agreement to this provision and confirming that its
                           rights to possession of the Aircraft under the
                           Permitted Sub-Lease will terminate immediately upon
                           the termination of the Lease, and that it will
                           redeliver the Aircraft to Lessor, upon notification
                           from Lessor that an Event of Default has occurred and
                           that it has, as a result thereof, terminated Lessee's
                           right to possession of the Aircraft under the Lease
                           (the "Subordination Acknowledgement"). The Permitted
                           Sub-Lease shall be assigned, as security, to Lessor
                           for Lessee's obligations under the Lease, pursuant to
                           an agreement reasonably acceptable to Lessor (the

                           Financing Parties' Representative);

                  (v)      Quiet Enjoyment: the Permitted Sub-Lease shall
                           provide that the Permitted Sub-Lessee shall have the
                           right to quiet enjoyment of the Aircraft for so long
                           as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
                           under the Lease;

                  (vi)     Obligations of Lessee: Lessee shall remain primarily
                           liable under the Lease for the performance and
                           observance of all its obligations to the same extent
                           as if no Permitted Sub-Lease had been entered into.
                           To the extent that the Permitted Sub-Lessee properly
                           performs an obligation under the Permitted Sub-Lease,
                           Lessor agrees that such performance shall also be
                           regarded as discharging (to such extent) Lessee's
                           corresponding obligation;

                  (vii)    Insurance: all insurance requirements herein shall be
                           complied with either by Lessee or by the Permitted
                           Sub-Lessee as if references in the insurance
                           provisions of the Lease to "Lessee" were references
                           to "the Permitted Sub-Lessee", and Lessee shall
                           provide or cause the Permitted Sub-Lessee to provide
                           the insurance certificate and brokers' letter of
                           undertaking referred to in Section 9.3(c)(iii) at
                           least five (5) Business Days prior to the
                           commencement of the Permitted Sub-Lease;

                  (viii)   Registration: there shall be no change in the
                           registration of the Aircraft from its State of
                           Registry unless otherwise consented to by Lessor in
                           writing in its sole and absolute discretion;

                  (ix)     Repossession or Political Risk Insurance: if
                           reasonably required by Lessor or if required of
                           Lessor by Owner or the Financing Parties'
                           Representative, (in either such case Lessor will
                           provide notice of such requirement to Lessee within
                           10 days after Lessee provides notice of the proposed
                           Permitted Sub-Lease under Section 8.4(b)(i)),
                           repossession or political risk insurance, as the case
                           may be, shall be obtained by Lessor at Lessee's cost
                           (which cost may be passed on by Lessee to the
                           Permitted Sub-Lessee under the Permitted Sub-Lease
                           but for which Lessee will remain liable vis-a-vis
                           Lessor in the event of non-payment by the Permitted
                           Sub-Lessee), provided that repossession or political
                           risk insurance, as the case may be, will not be
                           required if the Habitual Base and the State of
                           Registry are not being changed or if the proposed new

                           as the case may be, cannot be obtained or renewed, a

                           to ensure the validity, enforcement or priority
                           thereof;

                  (xii)    Expenses: Lessee will pay to Lessor on demand all
                           reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses
                           (including reasonable legal, survey and other costs
                           not to exceed $50,000 for each Permitted Sub-Lease of

                           Owner or Financing Parties' Representative, as
                           applicable, in connection with the review and
                           approval of the documentation required pursuant to
                           this Section 8.4 or otherwise incurred in connection
                           with any requested sub-lease or the sub-leasing of
                           the Aircraft thereunder;

                  (xiii)   Permitted Sub-Lease: Promptly after its execution,
                           Lessee shall provide Lessor with a copy of the signed
                           Permitted Sub-Lease;

                  (xiv)    Acknowledgement by Guarantor: If a Guarantee is
                           required under the Aircraft Lease Agreement, Lessee
                           shall provide to Lessor at least five (5) Business
                           Days prior to the effective date of the Permitted
                           Sub-Lease an acknowledgement by Guarantor of the
                           Permitted Sub-Lease and confirmation that the
                           Guarantee will remain in full force and effect during
                           the term of such Permitted Sub-Lease;

                  (xv)     [Intentionally Omitted]; and

                  (xvi)    Rent Sharing: If Lessee subleases the Aircraft under
                           a Permitted Sub-Lease which provides for scheduled
                           rental, power-by-the-hour rental or other similar
                           compensation that exceeds any Rent payable under the
                           Lease, Lessee shall pay one-half (1/2) of such excess
                           to Lessor as additional Rent within one (1) Business
                           Day after Lessee's receipt thereof.

         (c)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Lessor may decline
                  consent to any sub-lease if such sub-lease would be to a
                  Person whom Lessor determines is not a suitable sub-lessee for
                  the Aircraft, for example based on such Person's credit or
                  operational ability.

         Notwithstanding Section 8.4 (a), Lessee shall be permitted to wet lease
         the Aircraft provided such wet lease constitutes an arrangement whereby
         Lessee agrees to furnish the Aircraft to a third party pursuant to
         which the Aircraft (i) shall be operated solely by regular employees of
         Lessee or a Permitted Sub-Lessee which is a Lessee Affiliate, in each
         case possessing all current certificates and licenses that are required
         by applicable Regulations, including by the State of Registry, and
         shall remain in the operational control and possession of Lessee or
         such Permitted Sub-Lessee, (ii) shall be subject to insurance coverage
         as provided for in the Lease, (iii) shall be used and operated in
         accordance with the Lease and shall be maintained or caused to be
         maintained by Lessee or such Permitted Sub-Lessee in accordance with
         Lessee's Maintenance Program and Lessee's normal maintenance practices,
         and (iv) shall not be subject to any change in its

                                     - 27 -

         State of Registry unless otherwise consented to by Lessor in writing in
         its sole and absolute discretion; and provided always that, such
         arrangement is expressly subordinated to the Lease and the rights of
         Lessor and Owner thereunder and to the Aircraft, and Lessee provides
         Lessor with all opinions, certificates and other documents requested by
         Lessor which are required to be provided.

8.5      ACCESS

         (a)      Lessee will permit Lessor's, Owner's and the Financing
                  Parties' Representative's representatives access to the
                  Aircraft at any reasonable time. Unless a Default has occurred
                  and is continuing, any such Person will give Lessee prior
                  notice of not less than five (5) Business Days and will seek
                  to ensure that it does not result in an unreasonable
                  disruption to the operation of the Aircraft or to the conduct
                  of Lessee's business. Lessee shall comply with the reasonable
                  requests of Lessor's, Owner's and the Financing Parties'
                  Representative's representative, including any request to
                  travel on the flight deck of the Aircraft as an observer,
                  subject to any applicable Regulations and insurance
                  requirements.

         (b)      The cost of conducting a visit shall be borne by Lessor, Owner
                  or the Financing Parties' Representative, as the case may be,
                  unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

         (c)      No liability or obligation will be incurred by Lessor, Owner,
                  Financing Parties' Representative or the Financing Parties, as
                  the case may be, by reason of non-exercise by any of them of
                  the rights referred to in this Section 8.5. For the avoidance
                  of doubt, any viewing of the Aircraft by Lessor, Owner,
                  Financing Parties' Representative or the Financing Parties, as
                  the case may be, shall be for such Person's information
                  purposes only, and there shall be no inference or implication
                  there from that Lessee is in compliance with its obligations
                  under the Lease.

8.6      OWNERSHIP; PROPERTY INTERESTS; RELATED MATTERS

         (a)      Lessee will:

                  (i)      fix and maintain Nameplates containing the Nameplate
                           Inscription as follows:

                           "This Aircraft/Engine is owned by [Name of Owner] and
                           is leased to [Name of Lessee] and may not be or
                           remain in the possession of or be operated by, any
                           other person without the prior written consent of
                           [Name of Owner];

                  (ii)     in any circumstance where such interests are
                           relevant, take all reasonable steps to make sure that
                           all relevant Persons know about the rights or
                           interests of Owner, Lessor and the Financing Parties'
                           Representative in the Aircraft; and

                           charges, landing charges or other amounts of any
                           nature imposed by any Government Entity with respect
                           to Lessee, the Aircraft and/or the Lease except to
                           the extent that, in the reasonable opinion of Lessor,
                           such payment is being contested in good faith by
                           appropriate proceedings in respect of which adequate
                           reserves have been provided by Lessee and non-payment
                           of which does not give rise to any material
                           likelihood of the Aircraft or any interest therein
                           being sold, forfeited or otherwise lost or of
                           criminal liability on the part of Lessor or Owner.

         (b)      Lessee will not:

                  (i)      represent that it is the owner of the Aircraft or
                           that it has an economic interest (equivalent to
                           ownership) in the Aircraft for Tax treatment or other
                           purposes;

                  (ii)     take any action or fail to take any action, other
                           than action required under the Lease (including under
                           Section 7.1) to be taken by Lessor, Affiliates of
                           Lessor, Owner or a Financing Party, if such action or
                           omission could result in a forfeiture or seizure of
                           the Aircraft or otherwise similarly put Owner's
                           and/or Lessor's and/or Financing Parties'
                           Representative's rights or interests at risk;

                  (iii)    represent to others that Owner, Lessor or any

                  Authority registry that are within its control and take all
                  other lawful actions within its control that are necessary or

                  incurred in complying with this Section 8.9, including in
                  connection with the replacement of any Engine or Part.

                  temporarily install an engine or part in accordance with
                  Section 8.11(d). Lessee shall obtain from any person to whom
                  possession of an Engine is given, and from the lessor of any
                  airframe on which an Engine is installed and from any holder
                  of a Security Interest in any airframe on which an Engine is

                  airframe at any time while such Engine is subject to the
                  Lease. In the event Lessee shall have received from a lessor
                  of or secured party holding a Security Interest in any
                  airframe leased to Lessee or owned by Lessee a written

                  Security Interest covering such airframe also covers an engine
                  or engines owned by the lessor under such lease or subject to
                  such Security Interest in favor of the secured party under
                  such Security Interest, Lessor hereby agrees for the benefit

                  (iv)     Lessee must have full details of the source and
                           maintenance records of the Replacement Engine or

                           program (in the case of an Engine) but not later than
                           the Expiry Date;

         (d)      Temporary Replacement: Lessee may install any engine or part
                  on the Aircraft as a temporary replacement if:

                           engine or part is installed on the Aircraft, but
                           before the Expiry Date, Lessee removes that engine or
                           part and replaces it with the original Engine or Part
                           (or by an engine or part which is allowed by Section

                  Part to any pooling, interchange, lease or similar arrangement
                  unless Lessee obtains Lessor's prior written consent thereto,
                  which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Lessee shall
                  be allowed to temporarily loan an Engine or Part to another

                           condition, utility, airworthiness or value of the
                           Aircraft; or

         (b)      So long as no Payment Default or Event of Default has occurred
                  and is continuing, Lessee may, subject to any applicable
                  Regulations, remove or reverse any Equipment Change provided
                  that the Equipment Change is not required pursuant to the
                  terms of the Lease or to maintain the Insurance and removal or
                  reversal does not diminish the value, utility, airworthiness
                  or condition of the Aircraft assuming that such Equipment
                  Change was not made and that the Aircraft is maintained in
                  accordance with the Lease. Furthermore, Lessor may require
                  Lessee to remove or reverse any Equipment Change prior to the
                  Return Occasion so that, on the Expiry Date the Aircraft is
                  restored to the condition it was in prior to that Equipment
                  Change. Any Equipment Change. Any Equipment Change not so
                  removed or reversed becomes the property of Lessor or Owner,
                  as the case may be, at the Expiry Date.

8.13     TITLE ON AN EQUIPMENT CHANGE

         Title to any equipment that is installed on the Airframe shall, except
         in the case of an engine or a temporary replacement of a Part in
         accordance with Section 8.11(d), vest in Owner solely by virtue of its
         attachment to the Airframe or an Engine and it shall then be subject to
         the Lease and, if applicable, the Financing Documents, as if it were
         attached to the Aircraft at Delivery. In the case of any replacement of
         an Engine, and otherwise if so requested by Lessor, Lessee will provide
         a properly executed bill of sale or similar instrument to evidence the
         vesting of good and marketable title, free and clear of any Security
         Interest (except Lessor Liens), to any such Replacement Engine or other
         equipment in Owner and all documents required under the Financing
         Documents. After Lessor has determined that Lessee has permanently
         replaced an Engine in accordance with Section 8.11(b) and this Section
         8.13, Lessor will, or will procure that Owner will, without recourse or
         warranty (except as to the absence of Lessor Liens), transfer to Lessee
         or will procure that Owner will transfer to Lessee all of Lessor's or
         Owner's, as the case may be, rights to the engine that has been
         replaced, on an AS IS, WHERE IS basis, and will at Lessee's expense
         provide or will procure that Owner provides a bill of sale or similar
         instrument as Lessee may reasonably request to evidence such transfer.
         Lessee shall indemnify Lessor, Owner and each other Tax Indemnitee for
         all fees, expenses and Taxes incurred by Lessor, Owner or any other Tax
         Indemnitee in connection with any such transfer; provided that with
         respect to Taxes, the obligations of Lessee hereunder shall be subject
         to the exclusions set forth in Section 5.7(c) hereof with the exception
         of clause (iii) thereof and to the contest rights set forth in Section
         5.9 above.

9.       INSURANCE

9.1      INSURANCE

         Lessee will maintain the Insurance in full force during the Term, and
         thereafter as expressly required in the Lease, which shall be in
         accordance with best industry practice for comparable operators
         operating similar aircraft in similar circumstances, and shall be
         through such brokers and with such insurers and having such deductibles
         and subject to such exclusions as may be described in Schedule 7. The
         Insurance shall in any event meet the requirements set forth in
         Schedule 7 which may be amended from time to time by mutual agreement
         of Lessor and Lessee so that the scope and level of cover is maintained
         and the interests of Lessor and each Indemnitee are prudently protected
         in line with best industry practice and in any event as may be
         reasonably acceptable to Lessor.

9.2      CHANGE

         If at any time Lessor wishes to revoke its approval of any insurer,
         reinsurer, insurance or reinsurance for any material reason, 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 such consultation, Lessor acting reasonably considers that
         any change should be made, Lessee will then arrange or procure the
         arrangement of alternative cover satisfactory to Lessor. Lessor
         acknowledges that, as of the date of this Common Terms Agreement,
         Lessee's current insurer and brokers are acceptable to Lessor.

9.3      INSURANCE UNDERTAKINGS AND INFORMATION

         Lessee will:

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

                  (i)      invalidates or may invalidate any Insurance; or

                  (ii)     renders or may render void or voidable the whole or

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

         (b)      not take out without the prior written approval of Lessor any
                  insurance or reinsurance in respect of the Aircraft other than
                  that which is required under the Lease unless relating solely
                  to hull total loss, business interruption, profit commission
                  and deductible risk;

         (c)      commence renewal procedures at least thirty (30) days prior to
                  expiry of any of any Insurance and provide to Lessor:

                           renewal negotiation fourteen (14) days prior to each
                           expiry date;

                                      -37-

                           to each policy expiry date; and

                  (iii)    certificates of insurance (and where appropriate
                           certificates of reinsurance), and broker's (and any
                           reinsurance broker's) letter of undertaking in a form
                           acceptable to Lessor, detailing the coverage and
                           confirming compliance with the specified insurance
                           requirements of the Lease and, in the case of the
                           broker's letter of undertaking, opining that the
                           Insurance complies with the requirements of the Lease
                           on or before each renewal date;

         (d)      on request, provide to Lessor copies of documents or other
                  information evidencing the Insurance; and

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

9.4      FAILURE TO INSURE

         If Lessee fails to maintain any Insurance in compliance with the Lease,
         each of the Indemnitees will be entitled but not bound (without
         prejudice to any other rights of Lessor under the Lease):

         (a)      to pay the premiums due or to effect and maintain insurance
                  satisfactory to it or otherwise remedy Lessee's failure in
                  such manner (including to effect and maintain an "owner's
                  interest" policy) as it considers appropriate. Any sums so
                  expended by it will become immediately due and payable by
                  Lessee to Lessor together with interest thereon at the
                  Interest Rate, from the date of expenditure by it up to the
                  date of reimbursement by Lessee; and

         (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 reasonable satisfaction.

9.5      CONTINUING INSURANCE

         Lessee shall effect and maintain insurance after the Expiry Date with
         respect to its liability under Section 10 for two (2) years or until
         completion of the next "D" check on the Aircraft, whichever is earlier,
         and such insurance shall name each Indemnitee as an additional insured.

         (a)      EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 10(b) BELOW, LESSEE AGREES TO
                  ASSUME LIABILITY AND PAY FOR AND TO INDEMNIFY EACH OF THE
                  INDEMNITEES AGAINST AND AGREES TO PAY ON DEMAND ANY AND ALL

                           before the commencement of the Term (except where
                           (aa) the Loss is suffered during the Term as a result

                           Affiliate) and is to be leased back to Lessee under
                           the Lease);

                  (v)      results from or arises out of an event that occurs
                           after the redelivery of the Aircraft to Lessor in
                           compliance with the Lease and is not attributable to
                           any act, omission, event or circumstance occurring
                           prior to such redelivery;

                  (vi)     results from or arises out of any sale, assignment,

                           not contemplated under the Lease, and unless such
                           sale, transfer or other disposition has resulted from
                           or arises as a result of the exercise of Lessor's
                           remedies following a Default;

                           such performance does not arise out of a Default

11.      EVENTS OF LOSS

11.1     EVENTS OF LOSS

         (a)      If an Event of Loss occurs prior to Delivery of the Aircraft,
                  the Lease will immediately terminate and except as expressly
                  stated in the Lease or under any Other Agreement, neither
                  party will have any further obligation, other than pursuant to
                  Section 5.21 and Section 3 of Schedule 4, except that Lessor
                  will return the Deposit (if any) to Lessee and return to
                  Lessee or agree to the cancellation of any Letter of Credit in
                  respect of the Aircraft, in each case in accordance with the
                  provisions of Section 5.11 hereof.

         (b)      If an Event of Loss occurs after Delivery, Lessee will pay the
                  Agreed Value to Lessor on or prior to the earlier of (i) sixty
                  (60) days after the Event of Loss and (ii) the date of receipt
                  of insurance proceeds in respect of that Event of Loss.

         (c)      Subject to the rights of any insurers and reinsurers or other
                  third party, upon irrevocable payment in full to Lessor of the
                  Agreed Value and all other amounts which may be or become
                  payable to Lessor under the Lease, and if Lessee requests such
                  transfer, Lessor will, or will procure that Owner will,
                  without recourse or warranty (except as to the absence of
                  Lessor Liens) transfer to Lessee or will procure that Owner
                  transfers to Lessee legal and beneficial title, subject to no
                  Lessor Liens (but otherwise without warranty), to the
                  Aircraft, on an AS IS, WHERE IS basis, and will at Lessee's
                  expense, execute and deliver or will procure that Owner
                  executes and delivers, such bills of sale and other documents
                  and instruments as Lessee may reasonably request to evidence
                  (on the public record or otherwise) such transfer, free and
                  clear of all rights of Lessor and Owner and Lessor Liens.
                  Lessee shall indemnify Lessor, Owner and each other Tax
                  Indemnitee for all fees, expenses and Taxes incurred by
                  Lessor, Owner or any other Tax Indemnitee in connection with
                  any such transfer; provided that with respect to Taxes, the
                  obligations of Lessee hereunder shall be subject to the
                  exclusions set forth in Section 5.7(c) hereof and to the
                  contest rights set forth in Section 5.9 above.

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

         (b)      so long as no Payment Default or Event of Default has occurred
                  and is continuing, Lessee will be entitled to any compensation
                  paid by the requisitioning authority in respect of such
                  authority's use of the Aircraft, such Engine or such Part
                  during 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 the Lease. 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

                                      -41-
<PAGE>

                  period of requisition, and Lessor will apply such compensation
                  in reimbursing Lessee for the cost of complying with its
                  obligations under the Lease in respect of any such change,
                  but, if any Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessor may
                  apply the compensation in or towards settlement of any amounts
                  owing by Lessee under the Lease and/or under any Other
                  Agreement.

12.      RETURN OF AIRCRAFT

12.1     RETURN

         On the Expiry Date or redelivery of the Aircraft pursuant to Section
         13.2 or termination of the leasing of the Aircraft under the Lease,
         Lessee will, unless an Event of Loss has occurred, redeliver the
         Aircraft and the Aircraft Documents and Records at Lessee's expense to
         Lessor at the Redelivery Location, in accordance with the procedures
         and in compliance with the conditions set forth in Schedule 6, free and
         clear of all Security Interests (other than Lessor Liens), in a
         condition suitable for immediate operation under FAR Part 121 or as
         otherwise agreed by Lessor and Lessee and, in any case, qualifying for
         and having a valid and fully effective certificate of airworthiness
         issued by the Air Authority. If requested by Lessor, Lessee shall
         thereupon cause the Aircraft to be deregistered by the Air Authority.

12.2     NON-COMPLIANCE

         If at the time of Final Inspection Lessee has not fully complied with
         any of its obligations under the Lease (including Schedule 6), or
         Lessee fails to make the Aircraft available to Lessor on a timely basis
         for inspection and redelivery pursuant to Section 12.1 and Schedule 6
         (whether such failure is due to any act or omission of Lessee or any
         other circumstance whatsoever), the Term shall be extended until the
         time when the Aircraft has been redelivered to Lessor in full
         compliance with the Lease, for the sole purpose of enabling such
         non-compliance or failure to be promptly rectified, and during such
         extension period:

         (a)      Lessee shall not use the Aircraft in flight operations except
                  those related directly to the redelivery of the Aircraft to
                  Lessor;

         (b)      all Lessee's obligations and covenants under the Lease will
                  remain in full force until Lessee so redelivers the Aircraft;
                  and

         (c)      Lessee shall pay Rent to Lessor at a rate per month equal to
                  the amount of Rent payable in respect of the last scheduled
                  Rental Period plus ***** thereof, calculated on a per diem
                  basis.

         Any such extension shall not prejudice Lessor's right to treat such
         non-compliance or

         CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED BY KITTY HAWK, INC. FOR
         CERTAIN PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT. CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS HAVE BEEN
         FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. OMITTED
         PORTIONS ARE INDICATED IN THIS AGREEMENT WITH "*****".

         failure as an Event of Default at any time, and to enforce such rights
         and remedies as may be available to Lessor in respect thereof under the
         terms of the Lease or applicable Law. Without limiting the generality
         of the foregoing, Lessee's Rent obligation under paragraph (c) above
         shall be without prejudice to Lessor's rights to terminate the letting
         of the Aircraft and to indemnification pursuant to Sections 10(a)(ii)
         or 13.3.

         Lessor may elect (either on first tender of the Aircraft by Lessee or
         at any time during the said extension period) to accept redelivery of
         the Aircraft notwithstanding non-compliance with Section 12.1 or
         Schedule 6, in which case Lessee will indemnify Lessor and provide cash
         to Lessor (in an amount satisfactory to Lessor) as security for that
         indemnity in respect of the cost to Lessor of putting the Aircraft into
         the condition required by the Lease.

12.3     REDELIVERY

         Upon redelivery Lessee will provide to Lessor all documents necessary
         to export the Aircraft from the Habitual Base and the State of Registry
         (including a valid and subsisting export certificate of airworthiness
         for the Aircraft) or required in relation to the deregistration of the
         Aircraft with the Air Authority.

12.4     ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

         Provided Lessee has complied with its obligations under Section 12 and
         Schedule 6, following redelivery of the Aircraft by Lessee to Lessor at
         the Redelivery Location, Lessor will deliver to Lessee an
         acknowledgement confirming that Lessee has redelivered the Aircraft to
         Lessor in accordance with the Lease which acknowledgement shall be
         without prejudice to Lessor's accrued and continuing rights under the
         Lease or any Other Agreement.

13.      DEFAULT

13.1     EVENTS

         The occurrence of any of the Events of Default will constitute a
         repudiation (but not a termination) of the Lease by Lessee (whether the
         occurrence of any such Event of Default is voluntary or involuntary or
         occurs by operation of Law or pursuant to or in compliance with any
         judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation
         of any Government Entity).

13.2     RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

If an Event of Default occurs, Lessor may at its option (and without prejudice
to any of its other rights and remedies under the Lease, at law, in equity
and/or otherwise), at any time thereafter (without notice to Lessee except as
required under applicable Law) and subject to compliance with non-waivable
mandatory requirements of law:

                                      -43-

         (a)      accept such repudiation and by notice to Lessee and with
                  immediate effect terminate the leasing of the Aircraft and/or
                  the Lease whereupon all rights of Lessee under the Lease shall
                  cease (but without prejudice to the continuing obligations of
                  Lessee that survive under the Lease, including, obligations to
                  provide Insurance, maintain and repair the Aircraft and/or
                  redeliver the Aircraft in the Redelivery Condition); and/or

         (b)      proceed by appropriate court action or actions to enforce
                  performance of the Lease or to recover damages sustained by
                  Lessor by reason of Lessee's breach of the Lease, and all
                  other amounts payable by Lessee to Lessor or to any Indemnitee
                  pursuant to the terms of the Lease; and/or

         (c)      take possession of and/or seize the Aircraft, for which
                  purpose Lessor may enter any premises belonging to or in the
                  occupation of or under the control of Lessee where the
                  Aircraft may be located; and/or

         (d)      by serving notice, require Lessee to redeliver the Aircraft in
                  Redelivery Condition at the time and on the date designated by
                  Lessor in its sole and absolute discretion and at the
                  Redelivery Location provided that if the Aircraft is not
                  redelivered in Redelivery Condition, Lessee shall reimburse
                  Lessor for all costs and expenses incurred to place the
                  Aircraft in Redelivery Condition; and/or

         (e)      by serving notice, require that Lessee pay to Lessor, and
                  Lessee shall be liable for and immediately pay to Lessor,
                  and/or proceed by appropriate court action or actions to
                  recover any or all of the following amounts, without
                  duplication:

                  (i)      all Rent and other amounts which are or become due
                           and payable under the Lease prior to the earlier to
                           occur of the date Lessor sells or re-leases the
                           Aircraft or receives payment of the amount calculated
                           pursuant to clause (ii) below;

                  (ii)     an amount equal to the Mitigated Rent Amount;

                  (iii)    an amount equal to Lessor's reasonably anticipated
                           Enforcement and Remarketing Costs, Unwind Expenses
                           and Aircraft Condition Damages;

                  (iv)     all amounts indemnified by Lessee pursuant to Section
                           13.3;

                  (v)      such additional amount, if any, as may be necessary
                           to place Lessor in the same economic position as
                           Lessor would have been in if Lessee had timely
                           performed each of its obligations under the Lease;
                           and

                  (vi)     all documented attorney's fees, costs and expenses
                           incurred to enforce the Lease or Lessor's rights
                           and/or remedies or as a result of Lessee's default
                           under the Lease or failure to comply with the
                           obligations under the Lease.

                  It being understood that, to the extent that any of the
                  foregoing amounts represents an estimate by Lessor of losses,
                  damages, costs or expenses which

                                      -44-
<PAGE>

                  Lessor expects to incur, (x) Lessor shall adjust the amount
                  thereof as needed to reflect the actual amount of such losses,
                  damages, costs or expenses incurred by Lessor when
                  substantially all of such amounts become known to Lessor, but
                  Lessee shall nevertheless be obligated to pay the amount
                  demanded by Lessor (subject to such subsequent adjustment),
                  and (y) notwithstanding the amount specified in such demand,
                  Lessor shall be entitled to claim such other (and greater or
                  additional) amount in any action against Lessee under the
                  Lease, subsequent demand and/or any other damages that Lessor
                  may sustain; and/or

         (f)      require Lessee to pay, and Lessee shall pay to Lessor,
                  interest on all unpaid amounts at the Interest Rate, from the
                  due date until the date of payment in full; and/or

         (g)      draw upon the Deposit or the Letter of Credit and apply such
                  amounts to any amounts owing or to be owing to Lessor under
                  the Lease; and/or make demand against any Guarantor for any or
                  all of the foregoing.

         No remedy referred to in this Section 13.2, is intended to be
         exclusive, but, to the extent permissible under the Lease or under
         applicable Law, each shall be cumulative and in addition to any other
         remedy referred to above or otherwise available to Lessor at Law or in
         equity and in Lessor's sole and absolute discretion; and the exercise
         by Lessor of any one or more of such remedies shall not preclude the
         simultaneous or later exercise by Lessor of any or all of such other
         remedies. No 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.

13.3     DEFAULT INDEMNITY

         Lessee will indemnify Lessor on demand against any Loss which Lessor
         may sustain or incur directly or indirectly as a result of any Event of
         Default, including, the non-delivery of the Aircraft by reason of
         failure of Lessee to satisfy any conditions to that delivery Lessor
         will use reasonable endeavors to mitigate such Losses, but (i) Lessor
         shall not be obliged to consult with Lessee concerning any proposed
         course of action or to notify Lessee of the taking of any particular
         action, and (ii) this provision is without prejudice to Lessor's rights
         under Section 13.4.

13.4     SALE OR RE-LEASE

         If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, Lessor may sell at a
         private or public sale or re-lease or otherwise deal with the Aircraft
         at such time and in such manner and on such terms as Lessor considers
         appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion, free and clear of any
         rights and interest of Lessee, as if the Lease had never been entered
         into. Lessor shall have no obligation or duty to sell the Aircraft and
         Lessor shall be obligated to attempt to re-lease the Aircraft only to
         the extent, if any, that it is required to do so under Article 2A of
         the UCC.

13.5     REMOVAL OF LEASE FROM FAA REGISTRY

                                      -45-
<PAGE>

         If an Event of Default occurs, Lessee will at the request of Lessor
         immediately take all steps necessary to enable the Aircraft to be
         redelivered to Lessor in accordance with the Lease and Lessee hereby
         irrevocably and by way of security for its obligations under the Lease
         appoints (which appointment is coupled with an interest) Lessor as its
         attorney to execute and deliver any documentation, do any act or thing
         required in connection with the foregoing and grant all the powers and
         authorizations necessary for taking any of the foregoing actions during
         the continuance of an Event of Default. Without limiting the foregoing,
         Lessor may file with the FAA the Certificate of Lease Termination
         provided to Lessor under the Lease.

13.6     ASSIGNMENT OF WARRANTIES

         In the event of the return to or repossession by Lessor of the
         Aircraft, the Airframe, an Engine or Part, any rights in any warranty
         (express or implied) previously made or assigned to Lessee or otherwise
         held by Lessee shall without further act, notice or writing be assigned
         or reassigned to Lessor, if assignable.

13.7     WAIVER OF DEFENSES TO REPOSSESSION

         Neither Lessee, nor anyone claiming through or under it, shall set up,
         claim, invoke or seek to take advantage of any applicable Law now or
         hereafter in force in any jurisdiction in which the Aircraft may be
         situated in order to prevent, hinder or delay any effort on the part of
         Lessor to regain possession of the Aircraft, or re-export the Aircraft
         from any jurisdiction in which the Aircraft may be situated upon the
         occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 13.1 or the comparable
         clause under any Other Agreement and/or the Expiry Date and both prior
         and subsequent to entry of a final award or judgment, and Lessee, for
         itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby
         waives, to the full extent that it may be lawful so to do, the benefit
         of all such applicable Law (including any rights it may have, if any,
         to avail itself of the protection provided by the Convention of 1933 on
         the Unification of Certain Rules Relating to the Precautionary Arrest
         of Aircraft, or any other similar law, treaty or convention applicable
         to Lessee or the Aircraft which would limit the ability of Lessor to
         repossess or otherwise recover the Aircraft upon the occurrence and
         continuance of an Event of Default and/or the expiration or termination
         of the Lease and prior and subsequent to entry of a final award or
         judgment). Lessee and anyone claiming through or under it, hereby
         consents to an order or judgment compelling redelivery or permitting
         Lessor to take possession of the Aircraft upon the occurrence of an
         Event of Default and/or the expiration or termination of the Lease, and
         whether prior or subsequent to the entry of a final judgment, in any
         action or proceeding.

13.8     POWER OF ATTORNEY

         Lessee hereby appoints Lessor as the attorney-in-fact of Lessee, with
         full authority in the place and stead of Lessee and in the name of
         Lessee or otherwise, for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of
         the Lease and taking any action and executing any instrument that
         Lessor may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of
         the Lease; provided, however, that Lessor may only take action or
         execute instruments

                                      -46-
<PAGE>

         under this Section 13 after an Event of Default has occurred and is
         continuing. Lessee hereby declares that the foregoing powers are
         granted for valuable consideration, constitute powers granted as
         security for the performance of the obligations of Lessee under the
         Lease and are coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.
         Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other rights of
         Lessor under the Lease, upon the occurrence and during the continuation
         of an Event of Default, Lessor shall have the sole and exclusive right
         and power to (i) settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend any
         actions, suits or proceedings relating to or pertaining to the
         Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine, or the Lease and (ii) make proof of
         loss, appear in and prosecute any action arising from any policy or
         policies of insurance maintained pursuant to the Lease, and settle,
         adjust or compromise any claims for loss, damage or destruction under,
         or take any other action in respect of, any such policy or policies.

14.      ASSIGNMENT

14.1     LESSEE

         LESSEE WILL NOT ASSIGN, DELEGATE OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER (VOLUNTARILY,
         INVOLUNTARILY, BY OPERATION OF LAW OR OTHERWISE) ANY OF ITS RIGHTS OR
         OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE LEASE (INCLUDING THE AIRCRAFT LEASE AGREEMENT OR
         THIS CTA), OR CREATE OR PERMIT TO EXIST ANY SECURITY INTEREST OVER ANY
         OF ITS RIGHTS UNDER THE LEASE (INCLUDING THE AIRCRAFT LEASE AGREEMENT
         OR THIS CTA), AND ANY ATTEMPT TO DO SO SHALL BE NULL AND VOID. The
         foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit a Permitted Sub-Lease or
         any other act permitted to be taken by Lessee under the Lease.

14.2     LESSOR

         Lessee acknowledges and agrees that Lessor may, if applicable under the
         Financing Documents, assign as security Lessor's interest in the Lease
         as described in the Acknowledgement and Agreement referred to in
         Schedule 3.

         Lessor may, without the consent of Lessee, assign, novate, delegate or
         otherwise transfer all or any of its rights or obligations under the
         Lease or all or any of its right, title or interest in and to the
         Aircraft (each a "Transfer"), including pursuant to:

         (a)      a sale and leaseback; or

         (b)      a novation or assignment of the Lease and/or a sale of the
                  Aircraft (including to a special purpose or securitization or
                  monetization trust, fund, limited liability company,
                  corporation, partnership or other vehicle or in connection
                  with any other direct or indirect raising of capital); or

         (c)      a secured loan financing.

                                      -47-
<PAGE>

         In connection with any such Transfer, Lessor and its assignee will
         enter into an Assignment. Lessor will promptly notify Lessee of any
         Transfer using a notice substantially in the form of Annex II to the
         Assignment together with such information about the transferee as
         Lessor has received from the transferee if not previously provided by
         Lessor to Lessee, and Lessee agrees promptly to execute and deliver in
         connection with any Transfer such documents and assurances (including
         an acknowledgement of the Transfer, the absence of any Default under
         the Lease, and other matters identified in the aforementioned notice)
         and to take such further action as Lessor may reasonably request to
         establish or protect the rights and remedies created or intended to be
         created in favor of the transferee in connection with any Transfer.
         After any Transfer, the transferee shall be entitled to be an
         Indemnitee and to such other rights under the Lease as Lessor shall
         specify. Upon an assignment or novation described in subsection (b)
         above, Lessor shall be released from all obligations and liabilities
         under the Lease to the extent such obligations and liabilities are
         assumed by such transferee, and the Lease, including this CTA as in
         effect at that time and as incorporated in the Aircraft Lease
         Agreement, shall be deemed applicable as between Lessee and the
         transferee of the Lease and may be amended, supplemented or otherwise
         modified without the consent of the transferor (if this CTA is
         applicable to the Other Agreements not so transferred, it shall remain
         in full force and effect and may be amended, supplemented or otherwise
         modified without the consent of the transferee). Notwithstanding any
         such assignment or novation, Lessor, Owner, Financing Parties'
         Representative and each other Indemnitee shall continue to be entitled
         to indemnification under Section 10, and shall continue to be named as
         an additional insured under all liability Insurance referred to in
         Section 9 for a period of not less than two (2) years after such
         Transfer. The agreements, covenants, obligations and liabilities
         contained in the Lease, including all obligations to pay Rent and
         indemnify each Indemnitee, are made for the benefit of Lessor (and, in
         the case of Section 10, each other Indemnitee) and its or their
         respective successors and assigns, notwithstanding the possibility that
         any such Person was not originally a party to the Lease or may, at the
         time such enforcement is sought, not be a party to the Lease.

14.3     CONDITIONS

         In connection with any such Transfer by Lessor:

         (a)      Quiet Enjoyment: as a condition precedent to such Transfer
                  becoming effective, Lessor will procure that the transferee or
                  any new owner of the Aircraft (except where such new owner is
                  also the "Lessor" under the Lease) or any new holder of a
                  security interest over the Aircraft or any holder of an
                  interest in the Aircraft or the Lease (by way of security or
                  otherwise), as the case may be, shall execute and deliver to
                  Lessee a letter of quiet enjoyment in respect of Lessee's use
                  and possession of the Aircraft in a form substantially similar
                  to Lessor's covenant in Section 7.1; and

         (b)      Costs: Lessor shall reimburse to Lessee its reasonable
                  out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable legal fees and
                  expenses) actually incurred in connection with co-operating
                  with Lessor in relation to any such Transfer referred to in
                  this Section 14, provided that (i) such expenses are
                  substantiated to Lessor's

                                      -48-
<PAGE>

                  reasonable satisfaction and (ii) no Payment or Event of
                  Default has occurred and is continuing.

         (c)      Transferee: Any transferee of Lessor's interest in the Lease
                  pursuant to a transfer described in clause (b) of Section
                  14.2, the effect of which is to result in a release of Lessor
                  from its obligations under the Lease, shall (i) at the time of
                  the transfer have a tangible net worth (determined in
                  accordance with GAAP) of at least *****, or (ii) at the time
                  of the transfer be a Person whose unsecured debt obligations
                  have an investment grade rating of BBB- or better by S&P or
                  the equivalent rating or better by Moody's Investors Services,
                  Inc. and Lessor's payment obligations owed to Lessee under the
                  Lease shall rank at least pari passu with any of such rated
                  debt obligations, or, in the absence of such rated
                  obligations, all of Lessor's unsecured, unsubordinated debt
                  obligations or (iii) have its payment obligations under the
                  Lease absolutely and unconditionally guaranteed by such a
                  Person described in the foregoing clause (i) or (ii).

         (d)      No Increase In Lessee's Indemnity or Payment Obligations: As a
                  condition to such Transfer, the Transfer shall not in any
                  material respect increase Lessee's indemnity or other payment
                  obligations under the Lease or diminish Lessee's rights under
                  the Lease (to be determined in each case at the time of such
                  Transfer by applying all applicable Laws as are in effect on
                  the effective date of the Transfer).

15.      MISCELLANEOUS

15.1     [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

15.2     WAIVERS, REMEDIES CUMULATIVE

         The rights of Lessor under the Lease may be exercised as often as
         necessary, are cumulative and not exclusive of its rights under any
         Law; and may be waived only in writing and specifically. Delay by
         Lessor in exercising, or non-exercise of, any such right will not
         constitute a waiver of that right.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED BY KITTY HAWK, INC. FOR CERTAIN
PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT. CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS HAVE BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH
THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. OMITTED PORTIONS ARE INDICATED IN THIS
AGREEMENT WITH "*****".

15.3     DELEGATION

         Lessor may delegate to any Person all or any of the rights, powers or
         discretions vested in it by the Lease, 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.

15.4     SEVERABILITY

                                      -49-
<PAGE>

         If a provision of the Lease 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 the Lease; or

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

15.5     REMEDY

         If Lessee fails to comply with any provision of the Lease, 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 such
         non-compliance as a Default, effect compliance on behalf of Lessee,
         whereupon Lessee shall become liable to pay immediately any sums
         expended by Lessor together with all documented costs and expenses
         (including reasonable and documented legal fees and expenses) in
         connection with the non-compliance.

15.6     TIME OF ESSENCE

         The time stipulated in the Lease for all payments payable by Lessee and
         the prompt, punctual performance of Lessee's other obligations under
         the Lease are of the essence of the Lease.

15.7     NOTICES

         All notices and other communications under, or in connection with, the
         Lease will, unless otherwise stated, be given in writing by hand
         delivery, mail, overnight courier service, facsimile or email (where
         such address is available). Any such notice or other communication is
         deemed effectively given when received by the recipient (or if receipt
         is refused by the intended recipient, when so refused).

         The address, facsimile and email details for notices to Lessee and
         Lessor are as set out below or as otherwise advised by one party to the

                  IS INAPPLICABLE TO THE LEASE). THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE
                  LEASE WAS DELIVERED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

         (b)      Pursuant to and in accordance with Section 5-1402 of the New
                  York General Obligations Law, Lessee and Lessor each agree
                  that the United States District Court for the Southern

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

                  (iii)    consents to the service of process relating to any
                           such proceedings by prepaid mailing of a copy of the
                           process to Lessor's agent at the address identified
                           in paragraph (i) or by facsimile or prepaid mailing
                           by air mail, certified or registered mail, of a copy
                           of the process to Lessor at the facsimile number or
                           address, as applicable, set forth in Section 15.7.

         (e)      Each of Lessee and Lessor:

                  (i)      waives to the fullest extent permitted by Law any
                           objection which it may now or hereafter have to the
                           courts referred to in Section 15.8(b) on grounds of
                           inconvenient forum or otherwise as regards
                           proceedings in connection with the Lease;

                  (ii)     waives to the fullest extent permitted by Law any
                           objection which it may now or hereafter have to the
                           laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding
                           arising out of or relating to the Lease brought in
                           the courts referred to in Section 15.8(b); and

                  (iii)    agrees that a judgment or order of any court referred
                           to in Section 15.8(b) in connection with the Lease is
                           conclusive and binding on it and may be enforced
                           against it in the courts of any other jurisdiction as
                           if made by the highest court in that other
                           jurisdiction and accordingly Lessee will not seek to,
                           nor be entitled to, contest and/or delay and/or
                           obstruct registration or enforcement of any such
                           judgment and/or award and/or order on grounds of
                           public policy or otherwise.

         (f)      This Section 15 shall survive, continue to take full effect
                  and not merge in any order or judgment and nothing in this
                  Section 15.8 limits the right of either party to bring
                  proceedings against the other in connection with the Lease:

                  (i)      in any other court of competent jurisdiction; or

                  (ii)     concurrently in more than one (1) jurisdiction.

         (g)      Each of Lessee and Lessor irrevocably and unconditionally:

                  (i)      agrees that if the other brings legal proceedings
                           against it or its assets in relation to the Lease no
                           sovereign or other immunity from such legal
                           proceedings (which will be deemed to include suit,
                           court jurisdiction,

                           its assets;

                  (ii)     waives any such right of immunity which it or its
                           assets now has or may in the future acquire and
                           agrees that the foregoing waiver shall have the
                           fullest extent permitted under the Foreign Sovereign
                           Immunities Act of 1976 of the United States of
                           America and is intended to be irrevocable for the
                           purposes of such Act; and

                  (iii)    waives any requirement, of any kind whatsoever, for
                           Lessor to provide any form of security in respect of
                           the payment of any damages, costs, expenses or any
                           other financial obligation resulting from the
                           commencement or prosecution of proceedings or the
                           making of or service of any order and Lessee
                           undertakes (x) not to challenge the validity of any
                           proceedings or the making of any orders without any
                           requirement for the provision of such security (y) to
                           advise any court upon Lessor's request that Lessee
                           requires no such security and (z) to provide security
                           itself for any third party claims arising out of or
                           in connection with such proceedings and/or orders.

         EACH OF LESSEE AND LESSOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES
         ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF
         ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THE LEASE OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN
         THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
         THEREBY OR THE LESSOR/LESSEE RELATIONSHIP BEING ESTABLISHED, INCLUDING,
         CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS AND OTHER COMMON
         LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH OF LESSOR AND LESSEE REPRESENTS AND
         WARRANTS THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL
         RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL. THIS WAIVER IS
         IRREVOCABLE, AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS,
         RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THE LEASE. IN THE EVENT OF
         LITIGATION, THIS SECTION 15.8 MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A
         TRIAL BY THE COURT.

15.9     SOLE AND ENTIRE AGREEMENT; TRUE LEASE; SECTION 1110

         (a)      Entire Agreement: The Lease is the sole and entire agreement
                  between Lessor and Lessee in relation to the leasing of the
                  Aircraft, and supersedes all previous agreements,
                  representations and understandings in relation to that
                  leasing. Any amendments to the Lease must be made in writing
                  and signed on behalf of Lessor and Lessee.

         (b)      True Lease: The parties intend and agree that the Lease:

                                      -53-
<PAGE>

                  (i)      constitutes a "true lease", and not a "security
                           interest" as defined in Section 1-201(37) of the UCC;

                  (ii)     constitutes a "true lease" for United States federal
                           income tax purposes; and

                  (iii)    confers only a leasehold interest on Lessee in and to
                           the Aircraft on and subject to the terms of the
                           Lease, and no ownership or other interest with
                           respect to the Aircraft is provided to Lessee under
                           the Lease.

                  Lessee shall not file a tax return that is inconsistent with
                  the provisions of this Section 15.9(b).

         (c)      Lessee acknowledges that Lessor would not have entered into
                  the Lease unless it had available to it the benefits of a
                  lessor under Section 1110 of Title 11 of the U.S.C. Lessee
                  covenants and agrees with Lessor that to better ensure the
                  availability of such benefits, Lessee shall not oppose 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 under
                  the Lease. 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 the Lease and take such other
                  action not inconsistent with the Lease as Lessor reasonably
                  requests 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.

15.10    BENEFICIARIES

         The Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Lessor,
         Lessee and their permitted successors and assigns. All rights expressed
         to be granted to each Indemnitee (other than Lessor) under the Lease
         are given to Lessor on behalf of that Indemnitee, and each Indemnitee
         is an express third party beneficiary thereof. Except for Lessor,
         GECAS, Financing Parties' Representative, each Indemnitee and each Tax
         Indemnitee, no other Person shall be a third party beneficiary of the
         Lease.

15.11    COUNTERPARTS

         The Lease (including the Aircraft Lease Agreement and this CTA) may be
         executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed
         an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the
         same instrument. To the extent, if any, that the Lease constitutes
         chattel paper (as such term is defined in the UCC as in effect in any
         applicable jurisdiction), no security interest in the Lease may be
         created through the transfer or possession of any counterpart other
         than the original counterpart, which shall be identified as the
         counterpart designated as the "original" on the signature page of the

                                      -54-
<PAGE>

         Aircraft Lease Agreement by Financing Parties' Representative, Owner or
         Lessor, as the case may be.

15.12    LANGUAGE

         All notices to be given under the Lease will be in English. All
         documents delivered to Lessor pursuant to the Lease will be in English,
         or if not in English, will be accompanied by a certified English
         translation. If there is any inconsistency between the English version
         of the Lease and any version in any other language, the English version
         will prevail.

15.13    SURVIVAL

         Lessee's obligations under Section 3 of the applicable Part of Schedule
         4, under Sections 5.6, 5.7, 5.8, 5.10, 5.11, 5.17, 5.21, 9.5, 10, 12,
         13.2 and 15 and under any other provision of the Lease providing for an
         obligation on the part of Lessee to indemnify Lessor or any other
         Indemnitee shall survive the expiration or any termination of the Lease
         and continue in full force and effect.

16.      DISCLAIMERS AND WAIVERS

         LESSOR AND LESSEE AGREE THAT THE DISCLAIMERS, WAIVERS AND CONFIRMATIONS
         SET FORTH IN SECTIONS 16.1 THROUGH 16.4 BELOW SHALL APPLY AT ALL TIMES
         DURING THE TERM. LESSEE'S ACCEPTANCE OF THE AIRCRAFT IN ACCORDANCE WITH
         SECTION 4.3 SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE THAT LESSEE HAS FULLY
         INSPECTED THE AIRCRAFT, THE ENGINES AND EVERY PART THEREOF AND THAT THE
         AIRCRAFT, THE ENGINES, THE PARTS AND THE AIRCRAFT DOCUMENTS AND RECORDS
         ARE TECHNICALLY ACCEPTABLE TO LESSEE AND SATISFY THE DELIVERY CONDITION
         REQUIREMENTS AND ARE IN SUITABLE CONDITION FOR DELIVERY TO AND
         ACCEPTANCE BY LESSEE.

                  NOT AND WILL NOT BE DEEMED TO HAVE ACCEPTED, MADE OR GIVEN

                  HAVING ACQUIRED OR FAILED TO ACQUIRE ANY STATUS UNDER OR IN
                  RELATION TO THE LEASE OR OTHERWISE), ANY GUARANTEES,

                  ARISING BY REFERENCE TO NEGLIGENCE, MISREPRESENTATION OR

         EACH PARTY AGREES THAT, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN,
         IT SHALL NOT BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER, AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS AND WAIVES

                 PRE-DELIVERY PROCEDURES AND DELIVERY CONDITION

                      REQUIREMENTS - PART 1 (NEW AIRCRAFT)

1.1      PRE-DELIVERY PROCEDURE

         (a)      LICENSES

                  (i)      It is the responsibility of Lessee to obtain all
                           licenses, permits or approvals necessary to export or
                           transport the Aircraft from the Delivery Location
                           (although Lessor may request the Manufacturer to
                           apply for the required licenses, permits or approvals
                           as agent for Lessee).

                  (ii)     Lessor will provide Lessee with any required data and
                           information relating to the Aircraft or Lessor (as
                           are reasonably available to Lessor) for the purposes
                           of obtaining any such licenses, permits or approvals.

         (b)      INSPECTION

                  Except as otherwise provided in the Aircraft Lease Agreement:

                  (i)      Subject to any applicable purchase agreement, Lessee
                           shall inspect the Aircraft (including such rights as
                           Lessor has to be present and inspect, on an ongoing
                           basis, the manufacture of the Aircraft and including
                           a demonstration flight which shall be undertaken for
                           the benefit of Lessee at no expense to Lessee with up
                           to two (2) representatives of Lessee on the Aircraft
                           as observers) to determine whether the Aircraft
                           fulfills the Delivery Condition Requirements.

                  (ii)     If Lessee's inspection of the Aircraft shows that the
                           Aircraft does not fulfill the Delivery Condition
                           Requirements, Lessor will correct any Defects and
                           make the Aircraft available for re-inspection by
                           Lessee provided that, in Lessor's reasonable opinion,
                           it is not impracticable or prohibitively expensive to
                           correct the Defect.

                  (iii)    If Lessor notifies Lessee that it does not intend to
                           correct the Defect, either party may terminate the
                           Lease. In the event of such a termination, all
                           obligations of each party under the Lease will end on
                           the date of such notice, except that Lessor will
                           repay to Lessee an amount equal to the Deposit (if
                           any), return to Lessee or agree to the cancellation
                           of any Letter of Credit. Lessee will remain obligated
                           under its indemnity set forth in Section 1.1(c) of
                           Schedule 4.

                  If the Aircraft has been purchased from Lessee (or a Lessee
                  Affiliate) and is to be leased back to Lessee under the Lease,
                  then in respect of the leasing of the Aircraft (i) the
                  provisions of this Section 1.1(b) shall not apply, (ii)
                  Section 5.7 (c)(iv) of this CTA shall be deleted in its
                  entirety and replaced with the following: "(iv) a Tax
                  liability charged with respect to the period, or an event
                  occurring after the Expiry Date and unrelated to Lessor's
                  dealings with Lessee or to the transactions contemplated by
                  the

                  Lease", and (iii) Section 10(b)(iv) of this CTA shall be
                  deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: "(iv)
                  [Intentionally Omitted]".

         (c)      INDEMNITY

                  LESSEE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AND WILL INDEMNIFY EACH INDEMNITEE
                  AGAINST ALL LOSSES ARISING FROM DEATH OR INJURY TO ANY
                  OBSERVER, REPRESENTATIVE OR ANY EMPLOYEE OF LESSEE IN
                  CONNECTION WITH THE INSPECTION OF THE AIRCRAFT WHETHER OR NOT
                  SUCH LOSSES ARISE OUT OF OR ARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO ANY ACT OR
                  OMISSION, NEGLIGENT OR OTHERWISE, OF ANY INDEMNITEE, EXCEPT TO
                  THE EXTENT ARISING FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILFUL
                  MISCONDUCT OF SUCH INDEMNITEE.

1.2      DELIVERY CONDITION

The Aircraft shall be new, ex-factory and painted in Lessee's livery.

                     REQUIREMENTS - PART 2 (USED AIRCRAFT)

2.1      PRE DELIVERY PROCEDURE

         (a)      LICENSES

                  (i)      It is the responsibility of Lessee to obtain all
                           licenses, permits or approvals necessary to export or
                           transport the Aircraft from the Delivery Location.

                  (ii)     Lessor will provide Lessee with any required data and
                           information relating to the Aircraft or Lessor as are
                           reasonably available to Lessor for the purposes of
                           obtaining any such licenses, permits or approvals.

         (b)      INSPECTION

                  Except as otherwise provided in the Aircraft Lease Agreement:

                  (i)      Subject to any applicable purchase agreement or prior
                           lease, Lessee shall inspect the Aircraft as more
                           particularly set forth in 2.2(a) below to determine
                           whether the Aircraft fulfills the Delivery Condition
                           Requirements.

                  (ii)     If Lessee's inspection of the Aircraft shows that the
                           Aircraft does not fulfill the Delivery Condition
                           Requirements, Lessor will correct any Defects and
                           make the Aircraft available for re-inspection by
                           Lessee provided that, in Lessor's reasonable opinion,
                           it is not impracticable or prohibitively expensive to
                           correct the Defect.

                  (iii)    If Lessor notifies Lessee that it does not intend to
                           correct the Defect, either party may terminate the
                           Lease. In the event of such a termination, all
                           obligations of each party under the Lease will end on
                           the date of such notice, except that Lessor will
                           repay to Lessee an amount equal to the Deposit (if
                           any), return to Lessee or agree to the cancellation
                           of any Letter of Credit. Lessee will remain obligated
                           under its indemnity set forth in Section 2.1(c) of
                           Schedule 4.

                  (iv)     Lessee shall carry out the inspections contemplated
                           by Schedule 12 (Aircraft Passenger Cabin Interior
                           Standard) and Lessor shall procure that any
                           replacements, repairs or repainting required in
                           accordance with that Schedule shall be effected at
                           Lessor's cost prior to Delivery. If any such task is
                           not accomplished by Lessor prior to Delivery and such
                           failure does not affect the airworthiness or
                           operation of the Aircraft then, such task shall be
                           performed by Lessee subsequent to the Delivery Date,
                           at a time convenient to Lessee, and Lessor shall
                           reimburse Lessee for its actual net costs incurred in
                           performing such task subject to a receipt by Lessor
                           of an invoice from Lessee in relation to such costs.
                           For the purposes of this

and to an extent consistent with similar aircraft engaged in commercial airline
operations, shall be delivered to Lessee by Lessor in accordance with the
procedures and in any event in the condition set out below.

(a)      DELIVERY INSPECTION

Immediately prior to the Delivery Date, Lessor will make the Aircraft available
to Lessee for inspection ("Delivery Inspection") in order to verify that the

         (i)      inspection of the Aircraft Documents and Records;

         (ii)     inspection of the Aircraft, subject to non-interference in and
                  non obstruction of the maintenance in progress by the facility
                  contracted by the Lessor or the previous lessee (including an
                  examination of those compartments and bays, opened for
                  maintenance by the previous lessee during the pre-delivery
                  scheduled maintenance input performed immediately prior to the
                  Delivery Date), uninstalled Parts and the APU;

<PAGE>

         (iii)    inspection of the Engines, including (i) a complete video
                  borescope inspection of (A) the low pressure and high pressure
                  compressors and (B) turbine area (including combustors) and
                  (ii) engine condition runs (including full take-off power
                  engine run-up performed in accordance with the performance
                  test in the Manufacturer's maintenance manual, and the Engines
                  shall not exceed corrected limits for all parameters using
                  temperature corrected charts), and power assurance runs; and

         (iv)     observe a two hour demonstration flight at Lessor's cost (with
                  Lessee's representatives as on-board observers to the extent
                  permitted by FARs);

         provided however that the Delivery Inspection shall not in any event
         delay the completion of any pre-Delivery maintenance activity.

(b)      GENERAL CONDITION

         The Aircraft will:

                  the Delivery Date;

         (ii)     have installed a full complement of equipment, parts,
                  accessories and furnishings. Loose equipment installed at
                  Delivery shall be recorded. The Aircraft (including the
                  Aircraft Documents and Records) shall be in a condition
                  suitable for immediate operations under FAR Part 121, without
                  waiver or restriction;

         (iii)    have in existence a valid and effective certificate of
                  airworthiness (and if required by Lessee, a valid and

                  issued by the air authority of the previous lessee. In the
                  case of an export certificate of airworthiness, such
                  certificate shall not be issued any earlier than ten (10) days
                  prior to the Delivery Date;

         (iv)     comply with the manufacturer's original specifications, except

                  affecting that model of Aircraft requiring compliance prior to
                  the Delivery Date and within the AD Compliance Period; for
                  this purpose, compliance shall be by terminating action if the

                  required compliance by terminating action falls within the AD
                  Compliance Period.

                  In no event shall there be any time extensions, waivers,
                  deviations or alternative means of compliance with any
                  Airworthiness Directives or other regulations that are
                  non-transferable to Lessee.

         (vii)    have installed all applicable vendor's and manufacturer's

                                   SCHEDULE 6
                PROCEDURES AND OPERATING CONDITION AT REDELIVERY

On the Return Occasion the Aircraft, subject to ordinary wear and tear of a kind
and to an extent consistent with similar aircraft engaged in commercial airline
operations, will be redelivered to Lessor by Lessee in accordance with the
procedures and in any event in the condition set out below. For the avoidance of
doubt, any damage assessment and/or rectification criteria used in assessing the
redelivery condition shall be as prescribed in the Manufacturer's maintenance
manual and/or the Manufacturer's structural repair manual ("SRM"), as
appropriate. Any damage outside the scope of the SRM shall require FAA 8110-3
certification or the equivalent certification by the civil aviation authority by
the State of Design.

1.1      FINAL INSPECTION

         Immediately prior to the Return Occasion, Lessee will make the Aircraft
         available to Lessor and Owner for inspection ("Final Inspection") in
         order to verify that the condition of the Aircraft complies with the
         Lease. The Final Inspection will include, and be long enough to permit
         Lessor to:

         (a)      inspect the Aircraft Documents and Records;

         (b)      inspect the Aircraft (including an examination of all
                  compartments and bays, with Lessee to open or remove panels as
                  reasonably required by Lessor or Owner during the Redelivery
                  Check), uninstalled Parts and the APU (including a complete
                  video borescope inspection of the APU);

         (c)      inspect the Engines, including (i) a complete video borescope
                  inspection of (A) the low pressure and high pressure
                  compressors and (B) turbine area (including combusters) and
                  (ii) engine condition runs (including full take-off power
                  engine run-up performed in accordance with the performance
                  test in the Manufacturer's maintenance manual, and the Engines
                  shall not exceed corrected limits for all parameters using
                  temperature corrected charts, and power assurance runs); and

         (d)      observe a two (2) hour demonstration flight at Lessee's cost
                  (with Lessor's and Owner's representatives as on-board
                  observers (to the extent permitted by FARs)).

         Furthermore, Lessee acknowledges that a purchaser or the next operator
         of the Aircraft may need to inspect the Aircraft, the Engines and the
         Aircraft Documents and Records prior to redelivery and Lessee hereby
         agrees to cooperate reasonably at all times during the Term with
         Lessor, Owner and/or such purchaser or such next operator in order to
         coordinate, assist and grant access for the above inspections and/or
         meetings as necessary; provided that no such inspection shall
         unreasonably interfere with or materially interrupt Lessee's normal
         use, operation or maintenance of the Aircraft.

         Lessor or Owner, as the case may be, is responsible for and will
         indemnify Lessee against all Losses arising from the death or injury to
         any observer or any employee of Lessor or Owner, as the case may be, in
         connection with the inspection of the Aircraft under this Section 1.1.

         (c)      50/50 PROVISION: if separate Hull "all risks" and "war risks"
                  insurances are arranged, include a 50/50 provision in

1.3      TERMS OF LIABILITY INSURANCE

         All required liability insurance will:

         (a)      ADDITIONAL INSUREDS: include each Indemnitee, as additional
                  insureds for its respective rights and interests, warranted,

                  or premiums);

                  protection as if there was a separate policy issued to each
                  insured; and

         (c)      PRIMARY POLICY: contain a provision confirming that the policy
                  is primary without right of contribution and the liability of
                  the insurers will not be affected by any other insurance of
                  which Lessor, each Indemnitee or Lessee have the benefit so as
                  to reduce the amount payable to the additional insureds under
                  such policies.

1.4      TERMS OF ALL INSURANCE

         All Insurance will:

         (a)      BEST INDUSTRY PRACTICE: be in accordance with best industry

                  international air carriers operating similar aircraft on
                  similar routes;

         (d)      BREACH OF WARRANTY: provide that, in relation to the interests
                  of each of the additional assureds, the Insurance will not be
                  invalidated by any act or omission by Lessee, or any other
                  person other than the respective additional assureds seeking
                  protection and shall insure the interests of each of the
                  additional assureds regardless of any breach or violation by
                  Lessee, or any other person other than the respective
                  additional assured seeking protection of any warranty,
                  declaration or condition, contained in such Insurance;

         (e)      SUBROGATION: provide that the insurers will hold harmless and
                  waive any rights of recourse or subrogation against the

                  waived its rights by its agreements to indemnify the
                  additional insureds pursuant to the Lease. Upon
                  indemnification of an additional insured under Insurance, the
                  insurers may, with the consent of such additional insured
                  (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) exercise
                  subrogation rights;

         (f)      PREMIUMS: provide that the additional insureds will have no
                  obligation or responsibility for the payment of any premiums
                  due (but reserve the right to pay the same should any of them
                  elect so to do) and that the insurers will not exercise any
                  right of set-off, counter-claim or other deduction, by
                  attachment or otherwise in respect of any premium due against
                  the respective interests of the additional insureds other than
                  outstanding premiums relating to the Aircraft, any Engine or
                  Part the subject of the relevant claim;

         (g)      CANCELLATION/CHANGE: provide that the Insurance will continue
                  unaltered for the benefit of the additional insureds for at
                  least thirty (30) days (ten (10) days in the event of
                  cancellation due to non-payment of premium) after written
                  notice by registered mail or facsimile of any cancellation,
                  material adverse change, event of non-payment of premium or
                  installment thereof has been sent by insurer(s) to Lessor, or
                  where an insurance broker is appointed to the insurance broker
                  who shall promptly send on such notice to Lessor, except in
                  the case of war risks for which seven (7) days (or such lesser
                  period as is or may be customarily available in respect of war
                  risks or allied perils) will be given, or in the case of war
                  between the five (5) great powers or nuclear peril for which
                  termination is automatic;

         (h)      REINSURANCE: if reinsurance is required for the Insurance to
                  be acceptable under the Lease, including the requirements of
                  Section 9 and Schedule 7, such reinsurance shall:

                  (i)      be on the same terms as the original insurance and
                           will include the provisions of this Schedule;

                  (ii)     provide that notwithstanding any bankruptcy,
                           insolvency, liquidation, dissolution or similar
                           proceedings of or affecting the reinsured that the
                           reinsurers' liability will be to make such payments
                           as would have fallen due under the relevant policy of
                           reinsurance if the reinsured had (immediately before
                           such bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, dissolution
                           or similar proceedings) discharged its obligations in
                           full under the original insurance policies in respect
                           of which the then relevant policy of reinsurance has
                           been effected; and

                  (iii)    contain a "cut-through" clause in the following form
                           (or otherwise satisfactory to Lessor):

                  "The Reinsurers and the Reinsured hereby mutually agree that
                  in the event of any claim arising under the reinsurances in
                  respect of a total loss or other claim where as provided by
                  the Aircraft Lease Agreement dated as of _________ 20__ and
                  made between Lessor and Lessee such claim is to be paid to the
                  person named as sole loss payee under the primary insurances,
                  the Reinsurers will in lieu of payment to the Reinsured, its
                  successors in interest and assigns pay to the person named as
                  sole loss

                                      7-3
<PAGE>
                  payee under the primary insurances effected by the Reinsured
                  that portion of any loss due for which the Reinsurers would
                  otherwise be liable to pay the Reinsured (subject to proof of
                  loss), it being understood and agreed that any such payment by
                  the Reinsurers will (to the extent of such payment) fully
                  discharge and release the Reinsurers from any and all further
                  liability in connection therewith"; subject to such provisions
                  not contravening any Law of the State of Incorporation;

         (j)      INITIATING CLAIMS: contain a provision entitling any
                  Indemnitee to initiate a claim under any policy in the event
                  of the refusal or failure of Lessee to do so;

         (k)      INDEMNITIES: accept and insure the indemnity provisions of the
                  Lease to the extent of the risks covered by the policies; and

         (l)      SCOPE OF COVERAGE PROVIDED: The policies and insurance
                  provisions set forth above for the benefit of the additional
                  insureds are at all times subject to the policy terms,
                  conditions, limitations, exclusions and deductibles and shall
                  only apply to the extent that Lessee has agreed to protect the
                  additional insureds by its agreements to indemnify the
                  additional insureds pursuant to the Lease and then only in
                  their capacity as owner, lessor or lienholder.

1.5      DEDUCTIBLES

         Lessee shall be responsible for any and all deductibles under the
         Insurance.

1.6      APPLICATION OF INSURANCE PROCEEDS

         The Insurance will be endorsed to provide for payment of proceeds as
         follows:

         (a)      EVENT OF LOSS: all insurance payments received as the result
                  of an Event of Loss occurring during the Term will be paid to
                  Lessor, and Lessor will pay the remaining balance of those
                  amounts to Lessee after deduction of all amounts which may be
                  or become payable by Lessee to Lessor under the Lease and the
                  Other Agreements (including under Section 11.1(b));

         (b)      EXCEEDING DAMAGE NOTIFICATION THRESHOLD: all insurance
                  proceeds related to 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 and applied in
                  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 the Lease;

         (c)      BELOW DAMAGE NOTIFICATION THRESHOLD: insurance proceeds in
                  amounts below the Damage Notification Threshold may be paid by
                  the insurer directly to Lessee;

         (d)      LIABILITY PROCEEDS: 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 to be
                  paid directly in satisfaction of the relevant liability or to
                  Lessee in reimbursement of any payment so made; and

                                      7-4
<PAGE>

         (e)      DEFAULT: notwithstanding any of the foregoing paragraphs, 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 to be applied toward payment
                  of any amounts which may be or become payable by Lessee in
                  such order as Lessor may elect.

         To the extent that insurance proceeds are paid to Lessee, Lessee agrees
         to hold such proceeds in trust and comply with the foregoing provisions
         and apply or pay over such proceeds as so required.

1.7      UNITED STATES GOVERNMENTAL INDEMNITY

         Notwithstanding any of the foregoing paragraphs, in the event of a
         Permitted Sub-Lease to, or a requisition of use by, the United States
         or any Governmental Entity whose obligations have the full faith and
         credit of the federal Government of the United States, Lessor agrees to
         accept in lieu of insurance required hereunder indemnification or
         insurance from the United States or such a Governmental Entity in a
         form reasonably acceptable to Lessor and Owner and against such risks
         and in such amounts and on such terms such that when added to the
         Insurance maintained by Lessee, Lessee is in full compliance with the

Stamford, Connecticut 06927

         Re:      LEASE OF ONE (1) [DESCRIBE AIRCRAFT]; AIRCRAFT MANUFACTURER'S
                  SERIAL NO. ________

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         We have acted as special counsel to Kitty Hawk AirCargo, Inc., a Texas
corporation ("Lessee"), Kitty Hawk Inc., a Delaware corporation ("KHI"), and
Kitty Hawk Cargo, Inc., a Texas corporation ("KHC"), in connection with the
transactions contemplated by the Aircraft Lease Agreement dated as of
______________, 200___ between [LESSOR] (the "Lessor") and the Lessee in respect
of the Aircraft bearing manufacturer's serial number ____________ ("Lease"). As
used herein, the term "Lease" means and includes the aforementioned Aircraft
Lease Agreement which incorporates the Common Terms Agreement (as defined
therein). Capitalized terms used in this opinion letter and not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto (or incorporated by
reference) in the Lease.

         In connection with rendering the opinions contained herein, we have
examined executed originals or copies of the following:

         (i)      the Lease;

         (ii)     the Common Terms Agreement;

         (iii)    the Lessee Guaranty dated as of _______________ executed by
                  KHI;

         (iv)     the Lessee Guaranty dated as of _______________ executed by
                  KHC; and

         (v)      the Certificate of ________________, in [his/her] capacity as
                  General Counsel of the Lessee, KHI and KHC, respectively,
                  attached hereto as Attachment 1. [THIS CERTIFICATE TO COME
                  FROM IN-HOUSE COUNSEL]

         The documents listed above in paragraphs (i) through (iv) are
collectively referred to herein as the "Principal Documents." The transactions
contemplated by the Principal Documents are referred to herein as the
"Transaction."

                                      8-1
<PAGE>

         In addition, we have reviewed such other documents, agreements,
instruments, corporate records and certificates of the Lessee, KHI and KHC, and
have made such inquiries of such officers and representatives and have made such
investigations of law, as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for
the opinions hereinafter set forth.

         As to various questions of fact relevant to this letter, we have
relied, without independent investigation, upon certificates of public officials
and/or officers of the Lessee, KHI, KHC or their respective designees, and
representations and warranties in the Principal Documents of the parties
thereto, all of which we assume to be true, correct and complete. We have made
no investigation or review of any matters relating to the Lessee, KHI, KHC or
any other Person other than as expressly listed herein. Further, we have made no
special investigation of the business operations of the Lessee, KHI or KHC for
the purpose of identifying laws or regulations to which any of the Lessee, KHI
or KHC is subject. We wish to inform you that our knowledge is necessarily
limited due to scope of our review.

         With your permission we have assumed the following: (a) the
authenticity of original documents and the genuineness of all signatures; (b)
the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies; (c)
the truth, accuracy and completeness of the information, factual matters,
representations and warranties as to matters of fact contained in the records,
documents, instruments and certificates we have reviewed; (d) the legal capacity
of natural Persons; (e) the Lessee is a corporation validly existing under the
laws of Texas; (f) KHI is a corporation validly existing under the laws of
Delaware; (g) KHC is a corporation validly existing under the laws of Texas; (h)
the valid and due authorization, execution and delivery by each Person of the
Principal Documents to which they are a party; (i) the good standing of the
parties to the Principal Documents under the laws of all applicable
jurisdictions; (j) the full corporate, trust, partnership, limited liability or
other power of each of the parties to the Principal Documents, to execute,
deliver and perform its respective obligations under the Principal Documents;
(k) each of the Principal Documents constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligation of each party thereto (other than the Lessee, KHI and KHC),
enforceable against each such party in accordance with its respective terms; (l)
the Lessee is and at all relevant times will be a "citizen of the United States"
as defined in 49 United States Code Section 40102(a)(15), (m) the Lessee is and
at all relevant times will be a Certificated Air Carrier, (n) the Lessee did not
have, at any time prior to the Aircraft becoming subject to the Lease, any
right, title or interest in the Aircraft and the only, right, title or interest
of Lessee in the Aircraft at all relevant times is and will be that arising from
the Lease and (o) no Person has any right, title or interest in or to the
Aircraft, other than the Lessor and the Lessee.

         Based on such examination and having regard for legal considerations
that we deem relevant and subject to the assumptions and qualifications set
forth above and below, we are of the opinion that:

1.       The Principal Documents to which the Lessee, KHI or KHC is a party
         constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such entity
         enforceable against such entity in accordance with their respective
         terms.

                                      8-2
<PAGE>

2.       No consent, approval or authorization of, or filing, registration or
         qualification with, giving of notice to or the taking of other action
         by or in respect of any New York State or United States Government
         Entity (other than the Federal Aviation Administration and the United
         States Department of Transportation, as to which we express no opinion)
         is required for the execution, delivery and performance by each of the
         Lessee, KHI and KHC of the Principal Documents to which it is a party,
         except such consents, approvals, authorizations, filings,
         registrations, qualifications, notices and other actions as have been
         given, achieved or accomplished and are in full force and effect.

3.       Except for (i) the registration of the Aircraft in the name of Lessor
         with the FAA pursuant to the Transportation Code (as defined below) and
         (ii) the filing and recordation pursuant to the Transportation Code of
         the documents referenced in the opinion of
         _________________________________________, special FAA counsel ("FAA
         Counsel"), with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Lease,
         no further action is necessary under the laws of the State of New York
         or the federal laws of the United States in order to establish and
         perfect Lessor's interest in the Aircraft under the Lease as against
         the Lessee and any third party in any applicable jurisdiction within
         the United States. We note that we do not opine with respect to the
         necessity of any filing which may be required under the Uniform
         Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Delaware and Texas, as to
         which you are receiving an opinion of _____________, counsel to the
         Lessee, KHI and KHC in such jurisdiction.

4.       The Lessor is entitled to the benefits of Section 1110 of Title 11 of
         the United States Code as currently in effect with respect to the
         Airframe and Engines; provided, however, that no opinion is expressed
         as to any replacement Airframe or replacement Engine.

         In giving the opinion set forth in paragraph 2 above, we have relied on
certificates of officers of the Lessee, KHI and KHC as to the absence of any
judgment, decree, injunction, writ or order of any court, arbitration board or
other New York State or United States Government Entity which would require any
consent, approval, authorization, filing, registration, qualification, notice or
other action described in said paragraph 2.

         We have assumed that no fraud, dishonesty, forgery, coercion, duress or
breach of fiduciary duty exists or will exist with respect to any of the matters
relevant to the opinion expressed in this opinion letter.

         The validity, enforceability and binding nature of the Principal

         We express no opinion as to the enforceability of any provisions
contained in the Principal Documents purporting to: (a) allow the acceleration

foreclosure proceedings or the exercise of any other rights without notice to
the Lessee, KHI or KHC; (b) provide for specific performance, injunctive relief
or liquidated damages; (c) restrict or waive access to, or covenant not to

non-Transaction obligations against any assets belonging to a third party or
otherwise held in a fiduciary capacity or against any certificates of deposit or
permit any Affiliate of the Lessor to offset Transaction or non-Transaction
obligations against any assets of the Lessee, KHI or KHC or their Affiliates or
purporting to permit any set-off or application of monies without prior notice
to the Lessee, KHI or KHC (as applicable) or purporting to permit any set-off or
application of monies as to unliquidated amounts; (g) expressly or implicitly
constitute any Person as the attorney-in-fact of Lessee or any other Person or
otherwise grant the Lessor or any of its representatives an irrevocable power of
attorney to take actions on behalf of the Lessee, KHI or KHC for the benefit or
protection of the Lessor or any of its representatives to the extent that the
Lessor or any of its representatives could not otherwise take such actions; (h)
vest jurisdiction over any property in any court to the extent such property is

remedy; (n) permit any Person to determine, in its sole and absolute discretion,

York; (r) provide for a waiver of rights to termination of the Lease or
diminution of Rent, Supplemental Rent or other amounts payable under the Lease
in the event the Lease is terminated in whole or in part by operation of Law; or
(s) provide for a waiver of jury trial. In addition, we express no opinion as to
the enforceability of (i) Section 15.8(g)(iii) of the Common Terms Agreement,
(ii) any provision

                                      8-4
<PAGE>

contained in the Principal Documents that a specific number of days constitutes
reasonable notice under applicable law or (iii) any provision contained in the
Principal Documents prohibiting oral amendments to or waivers of provisions of
such documents or limiting the effect of a course of dealing between parties
thereto.

         The foregoing opinions are subject to the qualification that the
enforceability of certain waivers, rights and remedies provided in any of the
Principal Documents may be unavailable or limited by certain laws and judicial
decisions. In respect of such qualification, however, we are of the opinion that
such laws and judicial decisions do not, subject to the other exceptions and
limitations contained in this opinion, make the remedies (including, without
limitation, the remedy of sale following default) generally afforded by any of
the Principal Documents inadequate for the practical realization of the
principal benefits to be provided by the Principal Documents.

         We note that the provisions of the Principal Documents that permit the
Lessor or any of its representatives to take actions or make determinations, or
to benefit from indemnities and similar undertakings by any other party thereto
may be subject to a requirement that such action be taken or such determination
be made, and that any action or inaction by such persons that may give rise to a
request for payment under such an undertaking be taken, or not taken, or a
reasonable basis and in good faith.

         Without limiting the foregoing, we express no opinion as to the
enforceability or the effect of any demand sent in connection with any Guaranty
prior to the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default. We express no
opinion with respect to the effect on the enforceability of any Guaranty of any
modification or alteration affecting the obligations of Lessee or an election of
remedies by Lessor, which occurs without notice to or the consent of the
Guarantors.

         We express no opinion as to matters governed by laws other than the
Included Laws (as defined below). We have made no special investigation or
review of any published constitutions, treaties, laws, rules or regulations, or
judicial or administrative decisions ("Laws"), other than a review of (i) the
laws of the State of New York and (ii) the federal laws of the United States of
America (except as excluded in the next sentence). For purposes of this opinion,
the term "Included Laws" means the items described in clauses (i) and (ii) of
the preceding sentence that are, in our experience, normally applicable to
transactions of the type contemplated in the Principal Documents. The term
Included Laws specifically excludes (a) Laws of any counties, cities towns,
municipalities, and special political subdivisions and any agencies thereof, (b)
Laws relating to land use, zoning, and building code issues, taxes,
environmental issues, intellectual property Laws, antitrust issues, Federal
Reserve Board margin regulation issues, federal or state antitrust laws, federal
or state laws relating to taxation, and federal or state securities or blue sky
laws, (c) matters arising under the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended
("FAA Act"), and Subtitle VII of Title 40, United States Code (the
"Transportation Code") and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder,
including, without limitation, FARs, and (d) laws, rules, and regulations
relating to the regulation of the conduct of the business of Lessee.

         In rendering these opinions, as to all matters relating to the FAA Act
and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, including, without
limitation, FARs, we have assumed the correctness of the opinions contained in
an opinion letter of FAA Counsel dated the date hereof, which is being delivered

         Re:      LEASE OF ONE (1) [DESCRIBE AIRCRAFT]; AIRCRAFT MANUFACTURER'S
                  SERIAL NO. ________

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         I am the General Counsel of Kitty Hawk, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("KHI"). Reference is made to the transactions contemplated by the Aircraft
Lease Agreement dated as of ______________, 200___ between [LESSOR] (the
"Lessor") and Kitty Hawk Aircargo, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of KHI (the
"Lessee") in respect of the Aircraft bearing manufacturer's serial number
____________ ("Lease"). As used herein, the term "Lease" means and includes the
aforementioned Aircraft Lease Agreement which incorporates the Common Terms
Agreement (as defined therein). Capitalized terms used in this opinion letter
and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto (or
incorporated by reference) in the Lease.

         In connection with rendering the opinions contained herein, I have
examined executed originals or copies of the following:

         (i)      the Lease;

         (ii)     the Common Terms Agreement;

         (iii)    the Lessee Guaranty dated as of _______________ executed by
                  KHI;

         (iv)     the Lessee Guaranty dated as of _______________ executed by
                  Kitty Hawk Cargo, Inc. ("KHC"); and

         The documents listed above in paragraphs (i) through (iv) are
collectively referred to herein as the "Principal Documents." The transactions
contemplated by the Principal Documents are referred to herein as the
"Transaction."

         In addition, I have reviewed such other documents, agreements,
instruments, corporate records and certificates of the Lessee, KHI and KHC, and
have made such inquiries of such officers and representatives and have made such
investigations of law, as I have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for
the opinions hereinafter set forth.

                                      8-8
<PAGE>

         As to various questions of fact relevant to this letter, I have relied,
without independent investigation, upon certificates of public officials and/or
officers of the Lessee, KHI, KHC or their respective designees, and
representations and warranties in the Principal Documents of the parties
thereto, all of which I assume to be true, correct and complete.

         With your permission I have assumed the following: (a) the authenticity
of original documents and the genuineness of all signatures; (b) the conformity
to the originals of all documents submitted to me as copies; (c) the truth,
accuracy and completeness of the information, factual matters, representations
and warranties as to matters of fact contained in the records, documents,
instruments and certificates I have reviewed; (d) the legal capacity of natural
Persons; (e) that the Lessee is a corporation validly existing under the laws of
Texas; (f) that KHI is a corporation validly existing under the laws of
Delaware; (g) that KHC is a corporation validly existing under the laws of
Texas; (h) the valid and due authorization, execution and delivery by each
Person, of the Principal Documents to which they are a party; (i) the good
standing of the parties to the Principal Documents under the laws of all
applicable jurisdictions; (j) the full corporate, trust, partnership, limited
liability or other power of each of the parties to the Principal Documents, to
execute, deliver and perform its respective obligations under the Principal
Documents; (k) the due authorization, execution and delivery on behalf of each
of the respective parties thereto, of documents referred to herein and (l) that
each of the Principal Documents constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligation of each party thereto, enforceable against each such party in
accordance with its respective terms; except, in the case of clauses (a), (h),
(i) and (k), with respect to Lessee, KHC and KHI.

         Based on such examination and having regard for legal considerations
that I deem relevant and subject to the assumptions and qualifications set forth
above and below, I am of the opinion that:

1.       Lessee is a "citizen of the United States" as defined in 49 United
         States Code Section 40102(a)(15).

2.       Lessee is a Certificated Air Carrier.

         I express no opinion as to matters governed by laws other than the
Included Laws (as defined below). I have made no special investigation or review
of any published constitutions, treaties, laws, rules or regulations, or
judicial or administrative decisions ("Laws"), other than a review of the
federal laws of the United States of America, including, without limitation,
matters arising under the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended ("FAA Act"),
and Subtitle VII of Title 40, United States Code (the "Transportation Code") and
the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, including, without limitation,
FARs. For purposes of this opinion, the term "Included Laws" means the items
described in the preceding sentence that are, in my experience, normally
applicable to transactions of the type contemplated in the Principal Documents.
The term Included Laws specifically excludes (a) Laws of any counties, cities
towns, municipalities, and special political subdivisions and any agencies
thereof, (b) Laws relating to land use, zoning, and building code issues, taxes,
environmental issues, intellectual property Laws, antitrust issues, Federal
Reserve Board margin regulation issues, federal or state antitrust laws, federal
or state laws relating to taxation, and federal or state securities or blue sky

laws, and (c) laws, rules, and regulations relating to the regulation of the
conduct of the business of Lessee.

         This opinion letter addresses the legal consequences of only the facts
existing or assumed as of the date hereof. The opinions expressed herein are
based on an analysis of existing laws and court decisions and cover certain
matters not directly addressed by such authorities. Such opinions may be

prior written approval. I disclaim any obligation to update this opinion letter

         As to various questions of fact relevant to this letter, we have
relied, without independent investigation of their accuracy, upon certificates
of public officials and/or officers of the Lessee, KHI, KHC or their respective
designees, and representations and warranties in the Principal Documents of the
parties thereto, all of which we assume to be true, correct and complete. We
have made no investigation or review of any matters relating to the Lessee, KHI,
KHC or any other Person other than as expressly listed herein. Further, we have
made no special investigation of the business operations of the Lessee, KHI or
KHC for the purpose of identifying laws or regulations to which any of the
Lessee, KHI or KHC is subject. We wish to inform you that our knowledge is
necessarily limited due to scope of our review.

         With your permission we have assumed the following: (a) the
authenticity of original documents and the genuineness of all signatures (other
than Lessee, KHI and KHC); (b) the conformity to the originals of all documents
submitted to us as copies; (c) the truth, accuracy and completeness of the
information, factual matters, representations and warranties as to matters of
fact contained in the records, documents, instruments and certificates we have
reviewed; (d) the legal capacity of natural Persons; (e) the valid and due
authorization, execution and delivery by each Person (other than the Lessee,

corporate, trust, partnership, limited liability or other power of each of the
parties to the Principal Documents (other than the Lessee, KHI, and KHC), to

Documents; (h) each of the Principal Documents constitutes the legal, valid and
binding obligation of each party thereto, enforceable against each such party in
accordance with its respective terms; (i) the Lessee is and at all relevant
times will be a "citizen of the United States" as defined in 49 United States
Code Section 40102(a)(15), (j) the Lessee is and at all relevant times will be a
Certificated Air Carrier, (k) the Lessee did not have, at any time prior to the
Aircraft becoming subject to the Lease, any right, title or interest in the
Aircraft and the only, right, title or interest of Lessee in the Aircraft at all
relevant times is and will be that arising from the Lease and (l) no Person has
any right, title or interest in or to the Aircraft, other than the Lessor and
the Lessee.

         We have assumed, with your consent and without independent
verification, for the purpose of the opinions expressed herein that no mutual
mistake, misunderstanding or fraud exists with respect to any of the matters
relevant to such opinions. We have also assumed, with your consent, that Lessee,
KHI and KHC and their agents have acted in good faith and that consummation of
the transactions contemplated by the Principal Documents has complied or will
comply with any requirement of good faith, fair dealing and conscionability.

         We express no opinion as to matters governed by laws other than the
Included Laws (as defined below). We have made no special investigation or
review of any published constitutions, treaties, laws, rules or regulations, or
judicial or administrative decisions ("Laws"), other than a review of (i) the
laws of the State of Texas, (ii) the federal laws of the United States of
America (except as excluded in the next sentence) and (iii) the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. For purposes of this opinion, the term
"Included Laws" means the items described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the
preceding sentence that are, in our experience, normally applicable to
transactions of the type contemplated in the Principal Documents. The term
Included Laws

                                      8-13
<PAGE>

specifically excludes (a) Laws of any counties, cities towns, municipalities,
and special political subdivisions and any agencies thereof, (b) Laws relating
to land use, zoning, and building code issues, taxes, environmental issues,
intellectual property Laws, antitrust issues, Federal Reserve Board margin
regulation issues, federal or state antitrust Laws, federal or state Laws
relating to taxation, and federal or state securities or blue sky Laws, (c)
matters arising under the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended ("FAA Act"),
and Subtitle VII of Title 40, United States Code (the "Transportation Code") and
the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, including, without limitation,
FARs, and (d) Laws, rules, and regulations relating to the regulation of the
conduct of the business of Lessee.

         In rendering these opinions, as to all matters relating to the FAA Act
and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, including, without
limitation, FARs, we have assumed the correctness of the opinions contained in
an opinion letter of FAA Counsel dated the date hereof, which is being delivered
to you in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Principal
Documents, and we express no opinion regarding matters addressed by FAA Counsel.

                   SPECIFIC LIMITATIONS AND QUALIFICATIONS ON
       OPINION REGARDING GOOD STANDING, POWER, AUTHORITY AND AUTHORIZATION

         Our opinion in paragraphs 1 and 2 below are based solely and
exclusively upon our review of the Constituent Documents.

                   SPECIFIC LIMITATIONS AND QUALIFICATIONS ON
               OPINION REGARDING NO BREACHES, VIOLATIONS OR LIENS

         In giving the opinion set forth in paragraph 3 below, we have relied on
certificates of officers of the Lessee, KHI and KHC as to the absence of any
judgment, decree, injunction, writ or order of any court, arbitration board or
other State of Texas or United States Government Entity which would be
contravened by the execution, delivery or performance by the Lessee, KHI or KHC
of any of the Principal Documents.

                   SPECIFIC LIMITATIONS AND QUALIFICATIONS ON
                    OPINION REGARDING CHOICE OF NEW YORK LAW

         The Lease provides that the laws of the State of New York shall govern
all matters, including the construction, validity, and performance thereof.
Section 35.51 of the Texas UCC provides that if parties agree in writing that
the law of a particular jurisdiction governs an issue relating to a "qualified
transaction" (including the validity or enforceability of an agreement relating
to the transaction or a provision of the agreement) and the transaction bears a
"reasonable relation" to that jurisdiction, then the law, other than conflict of
laws rules, of that jurisdiction governs the issue regardless of whether the
application of that law is contrary to a fundamental or public policy of the
State of Texas or of any other jurisdiction. A "qualified transaction" includes
a transaction under which a party pays, or is obligated to pay, at least
$1,000,000. Section 35.51 of the Texas UCC provides that a transaction bears a
"reasonable relation" to a particular jurisdiction if the transaction, the
subject matter of the transaction, or a

                                      8-14
<PAGE>

party to the transaction is reasonably related to that jurisdiction. In
addition, Section 35.51 of the Texas UCC contains specific factual criteria, and
provides that the presence of any one of the criteria will satisfy the
"reasonable relation" test. Accordingly, for purposes of the opinion set forth
in paragraph 5 below, and in light of the factual criteria specified in Section
35.51 of the Texas UCC, we have, with your consent, assumed the following facts:

         (a)      all payments by Lessee will be paid to Lessor in the State of
                  New York;

         (b)      a substantial part of the negotiations relating to the
                  Transactions occurred in the State of New York; and

         (c)      the choice of governing law contained in the Principal
                  Documents was willingly and knowingly agreed to by all parties
                  thereto.

         The Texas Legislature enacted SECTION 35.51 of the Texas UCC to allow
"PARTIES ENTERING INTO CERTAIN BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING SUBSTANTIAL
DOLLAR AMOUNTS TO CHOOSE, THROUGH WRITTEN AGREEMENT, THE LAW THAT WILL GOVERN
THEIR CONTRACTUAL RELATIONS." Bill Analysis, H.B. 1113, Committee on Business
and Industry. There is no evidence in the statute or any available legislative
history to suggest that the legislature intended to allow a court to consider
whether a choice of law was a sham or subterfuge if the transaction meets the
literal terms of the statute. As a result, it is reasonable to conclude that a
Texas court would give effect to the language of the statute and objectively
apply the facts, as outlined above, to uphold the choice of New York law.

         We note that the determination of applicable law as to specific issues
may vary from the choice of law expressed in the Principal Documents, where
another statute of the State of Texas or a statute of the United States provides
that such issue is governed by the law of a particular jurisdiction. For
example, notwithstanding the choice of law contained in the Principal Documents,
certain matters pertaining to the power and authority of corporations,
partnerships, limited liability companies, and other entities will be governed
by the law of the jurisdiction of incorporation, formation, or organization of
each such entity.

                   SPECIFIC LIMITATIONS AND QUALIFICATIONS ON
                             OPINION REGARDING USURY

         In giving the opinion set forth in paragraph 7 below, we have assumed
that the Lease is a true lease and not a financing lease.

                                    OPINIONS

         Based on such examination and having regard for legal considerations
that we deem relevant and subject to the assumptions and qualifications set
forth above and below, we are of the opinion that:

                                      8-15
<PAGE>

1.       The Lessee is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under
         the laws of the State of Texas. KHI is a corporation validly existing
         and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. KHC is a
         corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
         State of Delaware.

2.       Each of the Lessee, KHI and KHC has all requisite corporate power and
         authority to execute and deliver the Principal Documents to which it is
         a party and to perform its respective obligations thereunder. The
         execution, delivery and performance of the Principal Documents to which
         it is a party by each of the Lessee, KHI and KHC, and the consummation
         by each of the Lessee, KHI and KHC of the transactions contemplated
         thereby have been authorized by all necessary corporate action on the
         part of the Lessee, KHI and KHC.

3.       The execution and delivery by the Lessee, KHI and KHC of each of the
         Principal Documents to which it is a party and the performance by each
         of the Lessee, KHI and KHC of its respective obligations thereunder
         will not (a) contravene the Lessee Certificate of Incorporation, the
         Lessee Bylaws, the KHI Certificate of Incorporation, the KHI Bylaws,
         the KHC Certificate of Incorporation or the KHC Bylaws, (b) violate or
         result in the creation or imposition of any material Lien on any of the
         properties or revenues of the Lessee, KHI or KHC (except any Liens
         created pursuant to the Principal Documents) pursuant to (i) any
         Included Laws applicable to the Lessee, KHI or KHC or (ii) any
         Applicable Orders, or (c) constitute a breach of, constitute a default
         under or result in the creation or imposition of any material Lien on
         any of the properties or revenues of the Lessee, KHI or KHC (except any
         Liens created pursuant to the Principal Documents) pursuant to any of
         the Material Agreements.

4.       Assuming (i) the registration of the Aircraft in the name of Lessor
         with the FAA pursuant to the Transportation Code (as defined below),
         (ii) the filing and recordation pursuant to the Transportation Code of
         the documents referenced in the opinion of
         _________________________________________, special FAA counsel ("FAA
         Counsel"), and (iii) the filing of a financing statement under Article
         9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Texas (as to Lessee)
         naming Lessee as debtor and Lessor as secured party, with respect to
         such portion, if any, of the Aircraft as may not be covered by
         recording pursuant to the Transportation Code to the extent the
         Aircraft constitutes personal property for which perfection can be
         achieved through the filing of a financing statement, no further filing
         or recording of any document is necessary under applicable state Law in
         order to establish and perfect Lessor's interest in the Aircraft under
         the Lease as against Lessee and any third parties.

5.       A Texas court, or a federal court sitting in the State of Texas as the
         forum state and applying State of Texas conflict of laws rules, would
         give effect to the choice of New York law set forth in the Lease with
         respect to general issues of contract validity, enforcement, and
         interpretation.

6.       The Principal Documents to which Lessee is a party have been duly
         executed and delivered on behalf of Lessee. The Principal Documents to
         which KHI is a party have

                                      8-16
<PAGE>

         been duly executed and delivered on behalf of KHI. The Principal
         Documents to which KHC is a party have been duly executed and delivered
         on behalf of KHC.

7.       The Lease does not violate applicable usury statutes of the State of
         Texas.

         In addition, we hereby advise you that we are not aware of any statute
of the State of Texas that would invalidate the Lessee's submission pursuant to
Section 15.8(b) of the Lease to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the United
States District Court for the Southern District of New York and any New York
state court sitting in the County of New York, New York, and all related
appellate courts.

                  WHEREAS, inasmuch as Lessee and Guarantor are members of a

provide such support on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;

                  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises,
and to induce Beneficiaries to enter into the Operative Documents, and for other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby

2.       Guaranty. For value received and to induce Beneficiaries to enter into
         the Operative Documents, Guarantor, as a primary obligor and not as a
         surety, does hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably
         guarantee to Beneficiaries the due and punctual payment, observance and
         performance by Lessee of all of the Obligations.

         Accordingly, upon and during the occurrence and continuance of an Event
         of Default under the Lease, Guarantor shall forthwith without demand of
         any kind pay, perform and observe all of such Obligations to and for
         the benefit of Beneficiaries, strictly in accordance with the terms of
         the Lease and the other Operative Documents; provided, however, that
         demand on Guarantor may be made prior to the occurrence and continuance
         of the applicable Event of Default under the Lease but Guarantor's

         the occurrence and during the continuance of such Event of Default.
         Guarantor further agrees to pay any and all reasonable and documented
         out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented
         fees and disbursements of legal counsel and other professional
         advisors) that may be paid or incurred by any Beneficiary in collecting
         any Obligations, exercising its rights and remedies hereunder or in

         this Guaranty shall be absolute, continuing, unconditional and
         irrevocable and this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect
         until such time as all of the Obligations are finally paid, performed
         and observed in full. The obligations of Guarantor set forth herein
         constitute the full recourse obligations of Guarantor enforceable
         against it to the full extent of all its assets and properties,
         notwithstanding any provision in the Lease or any other Operative
         Documents limiting the liability of any Beneficiary or any other
         Person.

4.       Strict Observance. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law,
         the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not in any
         manner be affected by: (a) any termination, amendment or modification
         of, or deletion from, or addition or supplement to, or other change in

         other than payment or performance in full of the Obligations; (m) the
         imposition or operation of any currency exchange controls in any
         country; (n) any failure of any Person to mitigate its damages; (o) the
         effect of any foreign or domestic laws, rules, regulations or actions
         of a court or governmental body or entity; or (p) any other condition,
         event or circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or
         equitable discharge, release or defense of a surety or guarantor or
         otherwise, or which might otherwise limit recourse against Guarantor,
         it being agreed that the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall not
         be discharged except by payment and performance in full as herein
         provided. No failure to make demand or delay in making demand on
         Guarantor for satisfaction of the obligations of Guarantor hereunder
         shall prejudice the right of Beneficiaries to enforce the obligations
         of Guarantor hereunder.

5.       Waivers of Notice, Etc. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable
         Law, Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand, protest or
         notice of any kind whatsoever (including (a) notice of acceptance of
         this Guaranty, notice of nonpayment or nonperformance of any of the
         Obligations, and (b) all notices required by statute, rule of law or
         otherwise now or hereafter in effect to preserve any rights against
         Guarantor), with respect to this Guaranty or the Obligations,
         including: (w) any right to the enforcement, assertion or exercise
         against Lessee or any other Person or the Aircraft or any other
         collateral security for the Obligations of any right, power, privilege
         or remedy conferred in any Agreement or otherwise, (x) any requirement
         to exhaust any remedies, (y) any requirement of promptness in
         commencing suit against any Person who may be or become liable thereon,
         and (z) any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise
         constitute a legal or equitable discharge, release or defense of
         Guarantor or any surety or which might otherwise limit recourse against
         Guarantor. Each of the Obligations shall be deemed conclusively to have
         been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Guaranty.

6.       Extensions, Etc. Guarantor consents and agrees that Beneficiaries, or
         any of them, may in their sole discretion, to the extent otherwise
         permitted by the Operative Documents and to the maximum extent
         permitted by applicable Law, at any time or from time to time, (i)
         extend or shorten the Term of the Lease and/or renew, extend, or
         increase or decrease or otherwise change or modify the amount, time,
         manner, place or terms of payment, performance or observance of any or
         all of the Obligations, (ii) apply payments by Lessee or Guarantor to
         any Obligations, (iii) exchange, release or surrender any security or
         property which may at any time be held by it, (iv) release any surety
         or guarantor for or of any of the Obligations, (v) settle or compromise
         any or all of the Obligations with Lessee or any other Person liable
         thereon or (vi) subordinate the payment, performance or observance of
         all or any part thereof to the payment, performance or observance of
         any other debts or obligations which may be due or owing to them or any
         other Person, all in such manner and upon such terms as Beneficiaries,
         or any of them, may deem proper, without further assent from Guarantor,
         who agrees to remain bound under this Guaranty notwithstanding any such
         extension, change, modification, amendment, release, surrender,
         settlement, compromise or subordination.

7.       No Waiver. No failure on the part of any of Beneficiaries to exercise,
         and no delay in exercising, any right or power under this Guaranty
         shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
         exercise of any such right or power preclude any other or further
         exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power, or of any
         remedy, of any Beneficiary under this Guaranty, the Operative Documents
         or applicable law.

8.       Guaranty of Performance. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and
         performance and not of collection and Guarantor waives any right to
         require that any action against Lessee or any Lessee Affiliate be taken
         or exhausted prior to action being taken against Guarantor.

                  such, if any, as have been duly obtained, and neither the
                  execution and delivery hereof or thereof nor the consummation
                  of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby will
                  contravene any United States federal or state Law applicable

                  or on the Delivery Date will have been duly entered into and
                  delivered by Guarantor and constitute or on the Delivery Date

                  or other similar laws affecting creditors' or lessors' rights
                  or remedies generally and by general principles of equity
                  (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a
                  proceeding in equity or at law).

         (d)      Consents. The execution and delivery by Guarantor of this
                  Guaranty and each of the Operative Documents to which it is or
                  will be a party, and each of the transactions by Guarantor
                  contemplated hereby and thereby, have received, and Guarantor
                  has complied with every necessary consent, approval, order, or
                  authorization of, or registration with, or the giving of prior

                  validity and enforceability hereof or thereof or the
                  satisfaction of all monetary or other obligations hereunder or
                  thereunder.

         (e)      No Litigation. There are no suits, arbitrations or legal
                  proceedings (including any administrative proceeding) pending
                  or threatened before any Government Entity against Guarantor
                  or with respect to any property of Guarantor which, if
                  adversely determined, would have a material adverse effect
                  upon its ability to perform its obligations hereunder and each
                  of the other Operative Documents to which it is or will be a
                  party.

         (f)      Investment Company. Guarantor is not an "investment company"

         (h)      No Broker. Except for one or more financial advisors to
                  Guarantor, the fees for which the Beneficiaries shall have no
                  liability, Guarantor has not retained or employed any broker,
                  finder or financial advisor to act on its behalf in connection
                  with the transactions contemplated hereby and it has not
                  authorized any broker, finder or financial advisor retained or

                  substantially all of its property or other assets (in one or a
                  series of transactions) to any Person, unless Guarantor
                  provides Lessor with not less than thirty (30) days prior
                  written notice of such transaction describing such transaction
                  in reasonable detail and providing Lessor with evidence

                  unless:

                           assets are being transferred) as an entirety, and
                           shall have a tangible net worth (as determined in
                           accordance with GAAP) of not less than Guarantor's

                           by Guarantor or assumption by such successor
                           corporation or transferee of the due and punctual
                           performance and observance of each covenant and
                           condition to be performed or observed by Guarantor
                           under this Guaranty, and (z) such other documents as
                           Lessor may reasonably request in connection with such
                           consolidation, merger or transfer, and (D) shall have
                           the requisite power and authority and legal right to

                  (ii)     immediately after giving effect to such transaction,
                           no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or

                           transfer and the assumption agreement mentioned in
                           subparagraph (i) of this Section 10(a) comply with
                           this Section 10(a) and (2) all conditions precedent
                           herein provided for relating to such transaction have
                           been complied with and (B) an opinion of Guarantor's
                           or the transferee's, as the case may be, counsel
                           (which may be internal counsel) to the effect that
                           the agreement referred to in such subparagraph (i) is
                           the legal, valid and binding confirmation of this
                           Guaranty by Guarantor or obligation of the successor
                           corporation or transferee enforceable against such
                           successor corporation or transferee, as the case may
                           be, in accordance with its terms and otherwise in
                           form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lessor.

         (b)      Guarantor's Financial Statements. Guarantor agrees that it
                  will furnish to Lessor, to the extent not otherwise readily

                  the Securities Exchange Commission:

                                      10-6
<PAGE>

                  (i)      within forty-five (45) days after the last day of
                           each of its fiscal periods (other than the end of its
                           fiscal year), a copy of the unaudited consolidated
                           management accounts for Guarantor and its
                           consolidated subsidiaries for such period, certified
                           by an authorized officer of Guarantor to the effect
                           that such accounts present fairly the consolidated
                           financial condition of Guarantor and its consolidated
                           subsidiaries as of such date in accordance with GAAP
                           consistently applied except as noted and subject to
                           year-end adjustments; and

                  (ii)     within ninety (90) days after the last day of each of
                           its fiscal years, a copy of the audited financial
                           statements for Guarantor and its consolidated
                           subsidiaries, together with a copy of the auditor's
                           unqualified certification in respect thereof.

11.      Bankruptcy, Etc. Guarantor agrees that if at any time all or any part
         of any payment or performance theretofore applied by any Beneficiary to
         any of the Obligations is or must be rescinded or returned by any
         Beneficiary for any reason whatsoever (including the insolvency,
         bankruptcy or reorganization of Lessee), such Obligations shall, for
         the purposes of this Guaranty, to the extent that such payment or
         performance is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have
         continued in existence, notwithstanding such application by
         Beneficiaries, and this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be
         reinstated, as the case may be, as to such Obligations, all as though
         such application by a Beneficiary had not been made. If an Event of
         Default shall at any time have occurred and be continuing, or the
         exercise of any remedy pursuant to the Lease, shall at such time be
         prevented by reason of the pendency against Lessee or any other Person
         of a case or proceeding under a bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law,
         or if the Lease or any other Operative Document shall be terminated as
         a result of a rejection or disaffirmance in a bankruptcy, insolvency or
         similar proceeding involving Lessee, Guarantor or any Affiliate of
         either Lessee or Guarantor, Guarantor agrees that, for purposes of this
         Guaranty and its obligations hereunder, the Lease or such other
         Operative Documents shall be deemed to be in default with the same
         effect as if the Lease or such other Operative Documents had been
         enforceable in accordance with the terms thereof, and Guarantor shall
         forthwith pay all amounts, or any of them, to be paid thereunder, any
         interest thereon and any other amounts guaranteed hereunder or provided
         herein. In the circumstance described in the preceding sentence, any
         election of remedies and any determination of any such amount may be
         made solely for purposes of this Guaranty and any required notice or
         demand upon Lessee is hereby waived by the Guarantor and may, at the
         option of a Beneficiary, be given or made upon the Guarantor. Guarantor
         agrees that it shall be liable for the full amount of the Obligations
         guaranteed hereby, irrespective of and without regard to, any
         modification, limitation or discharge of liability, rejection or
         disaffirmance that may result from or in connection with any
         bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding involving Lessee,
         Guarantor, any Affiliate, or any other Person.

12.      Jurisdiction. Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits
         to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the
         Southern District of New York and the courts of the State of New York
         located in New York County with respect to any

                                      10-7
<PAGE>

         disputes arising out of or in connection with this Guaranty or any
         other Operative Document to which it is a party. Guarantor hereby
         designates, appoints and empowers C.T. Corporation at 1111 Eighth
         Avenue, 13th Floor, New York, New York 10011, or such other Person as
         may from time to time be designated by Guarantor, in writing to Lessor
         to receive for it and on its behalf service of process issued out of
         the courts referred to above in any legal action or proceedings arising
         out of or in connection with this Guaranty or other Operative Document
         to which it is a party. Guarantor further agrees that failure by its
         process agent to notify it of the process shall not invalidate the
         proceedings concerned and consents to the service of process relating
         to any such proceedings provided that such service of process complies
         with applicable Law. The submission to such jurisdiction shall not (and
         shall not be construed so as to) limit the rights of any Beneficiary to
         take proceedings against Guarantor in any other court of competent
         jurisdiction, nor shall the taking of proceedings in any one or more
         jurisdictions, preclude the taking of proceedings in any other
         jurisdiction, whether concurrently or not. Guarantor agrees that in any
         legal action or proceedings against it or its assets in connection with
         this Guaranty, no immunity from legal action or proceedings (which
         shall include, suit, attachment prior to judgment, other attachment,
         the obtaining of judgment, execution or other enforcement) shall be
         claimed by or on behalf of it or with respect to its assets,
         irrevocably waives any such right of immunity which it or its assets
         now have or may hereafter acquire or which may be attributed to it or
         its assets and consents generally in respect of any such legal action
         or proceedings to the giving of any relief or the issue of any process
         in connection with such action or proceedings including the making,
         enforcement or execution against any property whatsoever (irrespective
         of its use or intended use) of any order or judgment which may be made
         or given in such action or proceedings.

13.      Judgments. A judgment against Guarantor, obtained in any suit in the
         courts of the State of New York in New York County or in the United
         States District Court for the Southern District of New York shall be
         conclusive, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, may be
         enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment, a certified or
         true copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and of the
         amount of any indebtedness or liability of Guarantor therein described;
         provided that the plaintiff at its option may bring suit, or institute
         other judicial proceedings against, the defendant or any of its assets
         in the courts of any country or place where the defendant or such

         or sell, assign, transfer, delegate or otherwise dispose of all or any

         Interest in respect of, or assign, delegate or otherwise transfer
         (voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise) any of
         its rights or obligations hereunder, and any such action shall be null
         and void.

15.      Guarantor's Obligations; Setoff.

         (a)      Guarantor. Guarantor's obligation to make all payments due
                  hereunder and to perform its other obligations hereunder shall
                  be absolute and unconditional and shall in no event be subject
                  to any right of setoff, recoupment, deduction or counterclaim
                  or any other defense which Guarantor or any other Person may
                  now or hereafter have against any Beneficiary or any other
                  Person, which Guarantor hereby waives.

         (b)      Lessor. Lessor may set off any Obligation of Guarantor
                  hereunder against any obligation owed by Lessor or any of its
                  Affiliates to Lessee or Guarantor or any of their Affiliates.

16.      Limitations on Subrogation. (a) Guarantor shall become entitled to
         subrogation rights by reason of performance of any of its obligations
         hereunder, provided, that such rights are and shall be subject and
         subordinate to the rights of the Beneficiaries against Lessee under the
         Lease in the event of any insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation,
         reorganization or other similar proceedings related to Lessee, or in
         the event of any proceedings for voluntary liquidation, dissolution or
         other winding up of Lessee, whether or not involving insolvency or
         bankruptcy proceedings, such that the Obligations shall be finally paid
         and performed in full before any payment in respect of a subrogation
         claim by Guarantor shall be made by or on behalf of Lessee and (b)
         notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, or any other provision of
         this Guaranty or the Lease, if an Event of Default is in existence,
         Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives and relinquishes any and all rights
         of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement or other payment from
         Lessee or Lessee's estate, whether arising by contract or operation of
         law (including any such right arising under the United States
         Bankruptcy Code) or otherwise arising out of, or on account of, any
         sums which have been claimed or are thereafter claimable against
         Guarantor under this Guaranty, which waiver shall be in effect unless
         and until all of the Obligations shall have been finally paid and
         performed in full. The waiver and relinquishment of rights provided for
         in the immediately preceding sentence shall be irrevocable and
         unconditional regardless of whether any such right is reduced to
         judgment liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured,
         unmatured, disputed, undisputed, secured, or unsecured. The provisions
         of this paragraph are made for the express benefit of Lessee as well as
         each Beneficiary and may be enforced independently by Lessee or any
         such Beneficiary, in each case, after the date of such Event of
         Default.

17.      GOVERNING LAW. THIS GUARANTY HAS BEEN EXECUTED AND DELIVERED IN THE
         STATE OF NEW YORK AND SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY, AND
         CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE
         STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND
         PERFORMANCE.

18.      Severability of Provisions. Any provision of this Guaranty that 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 portions

                                      10-9
<PAGE>

         hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
         jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such
         provision in any other jurisdiction.

19.      Amendments. This Guaranty and any provision hereof may be terminated,
         waived, amended, modified or supplemented only by an agreement or
         instrument in writing, specifying the provision (or, if applicable, the
         whole of this Guaranty) intended to be terminated, waived, amended,
         modified or supplemented, and executed by Guarantor and Lessor.

20.      Government Authorizations. Guarantor will obtain from time to time all
         permits, licenses, approvals and authorizations of, and will file all
         registrations and declarations with, all governmental authorities,
         bureaus and agencies and will pay all stamp duties required in
         connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or
         enforceability of this Guaranty (including, payments hereunder, in the
         lawful currency of the United States of America, of the Obligations)
         and will take all actions necessary to maintain each such permit,
         license approval authorization, registration or declaration in full
         force and effect.

21.      Withholding Taxes.

         (a)      Any and all amounts required to be paid by Guarantor hereunder
                  shall be paid in the lawful currency of the United States of
                  America strictly in accordance with the terms and provisions
                  of the Operative Documents, without set-off or counterclaim
                  and without deduction or adjustment for and free and clear of
                  any and all Taxes, provided, however, that Guarantor will not
                  be required to pay and discharge (and, if required by law,
                  shall withhold) any Taxes that it is not required to indemnify
                  the recipient against pursuant to subsection (b) (as limited
                  by subsection (c)) and (d). If any Taxes shall be required to
                  be deducted or withheld from any amounts payable to any
                  Beneficiary, Guarantor must deduct the minimum amount
                  necessary to comply with the Law and if required pursuant to
                  Subsection (b) (as limited by subsection (c)) below, pay
                  Beneficiary an extra amount so that Beneficiary receives a net
                  amount on the relevant payment date that is equal to the
                  amount it would have received if the reduction had not been
                  made. The amount of any such payment to Beneficiary must take
                  into account the tax treatment of that payment to Beneficiary
                  applying the principles of Section 5.10 of the Common Terms
                  Agreement such that Beneficiary shall be in no worse position
                  than it would have been if the deduction had not applied in
                  the first place.

         (b)      Guarantor further agrees that it will indemnify each
                  Beneficiary against, and reimburse each of them upon demand
                  for, Taxes levied or imposed against or upon or payable by
                  such Beneficiary, Lessee or Guarantor and arising from the
                  transactions pursuant to the Lease, including all Taxes
                  relating or attributable to Lessee, the Lease or the Aircraft
                  in connection with the importation, exportation, registration,
                  ownership (but only to the extent relating to or attributable
                  to or arising as a result of the possession, operation, use or
                  maintenance of the Aircraft by Lessee), leasing, sub-leasing,
                  purchase, delivery, possession, use, operation, repair,
                  maintenance, overhaul, transportation, landing, storage,
                  presence or

                                     10-10

                  redelivery of the Aircraft or any part thereof or any rent,
                  receipts, insurance proceeds, income, indemnification payment
                  or other amounts arising therefrom, or the making of any
                  Equipment Change or the permanent replacement of any Engine.
                  Guarantor further agrees that it will indemnify each
                  Beneficiary against, and reimburse any of them upon demand
                  for, any Taxes and any loss, liability, claim or expense
                  (including interest, penalties and legal fees) that any of
                  them may incur at any time arising from or in connection with
                  any failure of Guarantor to make any payments of Taxes when
                  due. All Taxes indemnified pursuant to this subsection (b)
                  shall be paid by Guarantor directly to the appropriate taxing
                  authority (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) at or
                  before the time prescribed by applicable Law. After any
                  payment by Guarantor of any Tax directly to a taxing
                  authority, Guarantor shall furnish to the relevant
                  Beneficiary, on request, a certified copy of a receipt for
                  Guarantor's payment of such Tax or such other evidence of
                  payment of such Tax as is reasonably obtainable by Guarantor
                  and reasonably acceptable to Beneficiary. Any amount payable
                  by Guarantor to a Beneficiary pursuant to this subsection
                  shall be paid within ten Business Days after receipt of a
                  written demand therefore from the relevant Beneficiary
                  accompanied by a written statement describing in reasonable
                  detail the basis for such indemnity and the computation of the
                  amount so payable, provided that if an amount of any
                  indemnified Tax is being contested in accordance with Section
                  5.9 of the Common Terms Agreement included in the Lease and
                  Guarantor shall have duly performed (and shall continue to
                  perform) all its obligations under such Section 5.9 with
                  respect to such contest, then payment of the indemnity with
                  respect to such Tax under this subsection shall, at
                  Guarantor's election, be deferred until the date the contest
                  has been completed.

         (c)      Guarantor is not required to indemnify any Beneficiary, for
                  any Lessor Taxes.

         (d)      Notwithstanding Subsection (c) above, the Guarantor will be
                  required to indemnify any Beneficiary for any Tax imposed by
                  any government or taxing authority of or in any jurisdiction
                  if and to the extent that such tax would not have been imposed
                  but for the sites of organization, any place of business or
                  any activity of Guarantor in the jurisdiction imposing the
                  tax.

         (e)      The provisions of Section 5.9 of the Common Terms Agreement
                  included in the Lease shall apply to Guarantor's indemnities
                  in this Section 21, mutatis mutandis.

         (f)      If a Beneficiary, in good faith, determines that it has
                  realized a tax benefit (by way of deduction, credit or
                  otherwise) as a result of any payment or Tax for which
                  Guarantor is liable under Section 21(a), 21(b) or 21(c), such
                  Beneficiary shall pay to Guarantor as soon as practicable
                  after the tax benefit has been realized (but not before
                  Guarantor has made all payments and indemnities to such
                  Beneficiary required under Section 21(a), 21(b) or 21(c), as
                  applicable), an amount which will ensure that (after taking
                  account of the payment itself) Beneficiary is in no better and
                  no worse position than it would have been if the deduction had
                  not applied. Nothing in this subsection (f) shall (i)
                  interfere with the right of Beneficiary to arrange its tax
                  affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit; or (ii) oblige
                  Beneficiary to

                                     10-11
<PAGE>

                  disclose any information relating to its Tax affairs or any
                  Tax computations (other than computations made with respect to
                  any amounts claimed by Beneficiary from Guarantor pursuant to
                  Section 21(a), 21(b) or 21(c)); provided, however, that if any
                  of the information related to the computations is contained in
                  tax returns or other documents involving matters unrelated to
                  the Lease or is otherwise confidential information, then such
                  information shall be confirmed by Beneficiary's independent
                  auditors.

22.      Currency of Payment. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that the lawful
         currency of the United States of America shall be the currency of
         account in any and all events and guarantees that the obligations will
         be paid in the lawful currency of the United States of America in
         accordance with the terms and provisions of the Operative Documents,
         regardless of any law, regulation or decree now or hereafter in effect
         that might in any manner affect the Obligations or the rights of any
         Beneficiary with respect thereto as against Lessee, or cause or permit
         to be invoked any alteration in the time, amount or manner of payment
         by Lessee of any of or all the Obligations. The obligation of Guarantor
         hereunder to make payment in the lawful currency of the United States
         of America shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or
         recovery pursuant to any judgment or otherwise expressed in or
         converted into any other currency except to the extent that such tender
         or recovery results in the effective receipt by any Beneficiary of the
         full amount in the lawful currency of the United States of America
         payable to it under this Guaranty, and Guarantor shall indemnify each
         Beneficiary for any difference between such full amount and the amount
         effectively received by it pursuant to any such tender or recovery, and
         each Beneficiary shall have an additional claim against Guarantor for
         the additional amount necessary to yield the amount of the lawful
         currency of the United States of America due and owing to such
         Beneficiary, which difference Guarantor shall promptly pay to such
         Beneficiary. In the event that any conversion as aforesaid results in a
         Beneficiary receiving an amount in Dollars in excess of the amount
         unpaid under this Guaranty, such Beneficiary shall return to Guarantor
         the amount of such excess taking into account any tax on the currency
         exchange not identified as provided herein.

23.      Headings. Paragraph headings used herein are for convenience only and
         shall not be used or construed to define, interpret, expand or limit
         any provision hereof.

24.      Entire Agreement. This Guaranty constitutes, on and as of the date
         hereof, the entire agreement of Guarantor and Beneficiaries with
         respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior or
         contemporaneous understandings or agreements, whether written or oral,
         between Guarantor and Beneficiaries with respect to the subject matter
         hereof.

25.      Further Assurances. Guarantor shall execute and deliver all such
         instruments and take all such actions as a Beneficiary may from time to
         time reasonably request in order to effectuate and perfect fully the
         purposes of this Guaranty , and any or all of any Beneficiary's rights,
         titles, interest, benefits or remedies hereunder, including to effect
         or facilitate any action by a Beneficiary referred to in the first
         sentence of Section 13 hereof.

respect of the period prior to the Effective Time hereof, including, Rent paid
in advance prior to the date hereof and which is allocable to the period prior
to the Effective Time, and Assignor retains and does not assign to Assignee
hereby Assignor's (or if applicable, a Prior Party's) rights under Sections 5.6,

Assignee shall be entitled to all rights, remedies and benefits of Lessor
provided for under the Lease, including, the right to make all inspections and

thereof and Assignee's obligations in respect thereof as of the date hereof
shall be limited to the amounts set forth in such receipt.]

         3.1 For the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to Section 14.2 of the Lease,

"Indemnitee", as the case may be, under and for purposes of Sections 5.6, 5.7,
5.8, 5.9, 5.10, 5.12, 9 (as an additional insured in their capacity as an
Indemnitee for liability purposes only), 10 and 14.2 of the CTA as provided
above. Except as provided above with respect to Retained Rights and Retained
Obligations, on and as of the Effective Time, pursuant to Section 14.2 of the
Lease, Lessee shall be deemed to have agreed that Assignor is hereby released

In respect of the first maintenance event after Delivery only in respect of each
of the Airframe, Engines, Engine LLPs and Landing Gear, if:

         (a)      Lessor is obliged to make payment under the provisions of
                  Section 7.2 of the Common Terms Agreement but the Supplemental
                  Rent paid by Lessee is insufficient to cover the amount of the

         (b)      such shortfall would otherwise qualify for contribution under
                  Section 7.2 of the Common Terms Agreement, and

         (c)      Lessor has agreed in writing to the planned scope of the

                  amount of the relevant invoice, or

         (ii)     an amount equal to the number of Flight Hours or Cycles at
                  Delivery, as appropriate, since the last such maintenance
                  event prior to Delivery multiplied by the Supplemental Rent

(a)      Lessor hereby grants Lessee the right to extend the Term for thirty
         (30) months from the Scheduled Expiry Date in accordance with the terms
         and conditions set forth in this Schedule C (the "First Extension
         Option"). Provided that Lessee exercises the First Extension Option in

         Scheduled Expiry Date in accordance with the terms and conditions set
         forth in this Schedule C (the "Second Extension Option").

(b)      In order to exercise any Extension Option, the following conditions

         (i)      Not later than twelve (12) months prior to the then applicable
                  Scheduled Expiry Date, Lessor shall have received a written
                  notice from Lessee stating that it is exercising the Extension
                  Option, which notice once given shall be irrevocable;

         (ii)     Promptly after such notice, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor a
                  Lease Supplement, board resolutions, legal opinions and other
                  documents related to such extension, as Lessor may reasonably
                  request; and

         (iii)    no Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date
                  that Lessor receives notice of Lessee's exercise of the
                  Extension Option or on the then applicable Scheduled Expiry
                  Date (as determined without giving effect to Lessee's exercise
                  of the Extension Option).

(c)      If the Term is so extended, the then applicable Scheduled Expiry Date
         shall be the Extended Expiry Date, the Rent for the period of such
         extension shall be as agreed by Lessor and Lessee at the time the
         Extension Option is exercised (but will in no event be greater than the
         Rent provided for in the Lease as of the date hereof) and all other
         provisions of the Lease shall remain in full force and effect.

EXTENDED EXPIRY DATE means (i) with respect to the First Extension Option, the
date that corresponds to the Scheduled Expiry Date in the 30th month after the
Scheduled Expiry Date; (ii) with respect to the Second Extension Option, the
date that corresponds to the Scheduled Expiry Date in the 60th month after the
Scheduled Expiry Date.

                          Aircraft Substitution Option

Lessor grants Lessee a one-time option to replace the Aircraft with a 737-400SF
aircraft ("Substitute Aircraft") on or about the sixth (6th) anniversary (timing
to coincide with a scheduled C Check) of the Delivery Date (the "Effective
Date"). Lessee may exercise this option by providing Lessor written notice no
later than the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Delivery Date. The notice once
given shall be irrevocable ("Lessee Option Notice").

Lessee may not exercise this option if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing either on the day a Lessee Option Notice is given and/or on the
Effective Date. Lessor's obligation to replace the Aircraft in accordance with
this Schedule D is subject to (x) Lessor having a Substitute Aircraft available
to lease to Lessee on the Effective Date, (y) Lessor and Lessee agreeing the
terms for the lease of the Substitute Aircraft, and (z) Lessor and Lessee
agreeing to the return conditions for the Aircraft.

Following receipt by Lessor of a Lessee Option Notice, Lessor shall promptly
advise Lessee if Lessor has a Substitute Aircraft available to lease to Lessee
for delivery on the Effective Date. If Lessor notifies Lessee that it has a
Substitute Aircraft available to lease to Lessee for delivery on the Effective
Date, Lessor and Lessee shall negotiate in good faith the terms and conditions
relating to the leasing of the Substitute Aircraft and, simultaneously with the
execution of an Aircraft Lease Agreement in respect of the Substitute Aircraft,
Lessor and Lessee shall enter into a termination agreement in respect of the
leasing of the Aircraft under this Lease.

If Lessor does not have a Substitute Aircraft available to lease to Lessee for
delivery on the Effective Date, or if Lessor and Lessee are unable to agree on
the terms and conditions relating to the leasing of the Substitute Aircraft no
later than 18 months prior to the Effective Date, the Aircraft Substitution
Option shall lapse and the leasing of the Aircraft shall continue under the
Lease as if no such Lessee Option Notice had been given by Lessee.

                                   SCHEDULE F

                        POWER BY HOUR MAINTENANCE PROGRAM

It is acknowledged that Lessee may wish (either at Delivery or subsequently) to
enroll the Airframe, Engines, Landing Gear and/or APU into a "power-by-the-hour"
maintenance agreement with a third party maintenance provider (the "PBH
Agreement"). If such PBH Agreement is a Qualifying PBH Agreement (as defined
below), so long as such Qualifying PBH Agreement is in force and effect, Lessee
will be relieved of the obligation to make Supplemental Rent payments to Lessor
in respect of the equipment subject to the PBH Agreement only, except in the
case of Engine LLP Supplemental Rent, which will still be paid to Lessor under
the Lease.

To be a "Qualifying PBH Agreement", the PBH Agreement (a) must be on terms and
in form and substance agreed by Lessor (such approval not to be unreasonably
withheld), and (b) Lessee shall cause, pursuant to an agreement in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, (i) the PBH Agreement(s) to be
assigned to Lessor, which assignment shall be perfected in a manner reasonably
acceptable to Lessor, and which assignment shall be enforceable upon an Event of
Default; and (ii) the maintenance performer to (w) consent to the foregoing
assignment, (x) agree to enter into a PBH Agreement directly with Lessor for the
performance of the subject maintenance on substantially the same terms and
conditions as such PBH Agreement if Lessor notifies such maintenance performer
that it so elects and an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, with
Lessor receiving credit for amounts theretofore paid by Lessee thereunder, (y)
provide Lessor with the option to remove the Airframe, Engines, Landing Gear
and/or APU from the PBH arrangement at the end of the Term and Lessor would be
paid by Lessee and the maintenance performer an amount equal to the number of
hours since the last qualifying event for such item times the rate for such item
set forth in the Lease and (z) enter into such other agreements as Lessor may
reasonably request.

Failure by Lessee to adhere to the terms of the Qualifying PBH Agreement shall
be an Event of Default under the Lease unless Lessee resumes paying Supplemental
Rent under the Lease and pays Lessor the amount necessary to bring the level of
each Supplemental Rent category to the level it would have been under the Lease
from the last relevant qualifying event for each component of Supplemental Rent
if the Qualifying PBH Agreement had never been entered into. If no Qualifying
PBH Agreement is entered into or if such Qualifying PBH Agreement does not cover
the Airframe or the Engines or the Landing Gear or the APU, then Lessee will not
be relieved of the obligation to make Supplemental Rent payments in respect of
such item. If such Qualifying PBH Agreement is terminated for any reason prior
to the end of the Term, Lessee will again pay Supplemental Rent for the relevant
items under the Lease and pay Lessor the amount necessary to bring the level of
each Supplemental Rent category to the level it would have been under the Lease
from the last relevant qualifying event for each component of Supplemental Rent
if the Qualifying PBH Agreement had never been entered into.

                                      F-1

Upon the execution and/or termination of such Qualifying PBH Agreement, the
Lease shall be amended as appropriate.

                          Additional Return Conditions

In addition to and supplementing Lessee's obligations set forth in Section 12
and Schedule 6 of the CTA, Lessee shall redeliver the Aircraft to Lessor on the
Return Occasion meeting the following requirements which, to the extent that
they conflict with the terms of Section 12 or Schedule 6 of the CTA, shall
control:

1. In the event the next lessee is not on the same maintenance program as the
Lessee (expected to be MSG 3), or no next lessee has been identified, the
airframe will be fresh from the next sequential block C check in accordance with
the Manufacturer's Maintenance Planning Document including all maintenance tasks
and inspections falling due within the next C check interval per the
Manufacturer's Maintenance Planning Document. If the next lessee is on the same
maintenance program as Lessee, Lessee shall be required to perform the next
sequential C check in accordance with the Manufacturer's Maintenance Planning
Document.

2. Section 1.2(f) of Schedule 6 of the CTA shall be amended in respect of the
Aircraft by adding the following after the words "or within the AD Compliance
Period" in the third line and immediately preceding the semi-colon:

"or between 90 and 180 days after the Return Occasion if the cost of compliance
with such Airworthiness Directive exceeds $*****".

3. Section 1.2(h) of Schedule 6 of the CTA shall be amended in respect of the
Aircraft by inserting the following proviso at the end thereof: "; provided that
if such livery is in excess of three (3) colors, the cost of the paint in excess
of three (3) colors will be borne by Lessor."
