         to rely on such opinion as if it were addressed to the Company, and the
         certificates referred to in Subsections 3.01(e)(iv) and 3.01(k).

                  (f)      The Company shall have received (i) an opinion

Company represents and warrants that:

                  (a)      The Company is a corporation duly incorporated and

         a whole.

                  (b)      The execution, delivery and performance by the

         any material indenture, mortgage, contract or other agreement to which
         the Company is a party or by which it or any of its properties may be
         bound or affected.

                  (c)      Neither the execution and delivery by the Company of
         this Agreement and the other Operative Documents to which it is a
         party, nor the consummation by the Company of any of the transactions

         approval of, the giving of notice to, the filing or registration with
         or the taking of any other action in respect of, the Department of

         authority or agency, except for (i) the registration of the issuance

         which the Company is a party have been duly executed and delivered by
         the Company and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of
         the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their
         terms, except as the same may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
         reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the rights
         of creditors generally and by general principles of equity

                                       9

         and except, in the case of the Indenture, as limited by applicable laws
         that may affect the remedies provided in the Indenture, which laws,
         however, do not make the remedies provided in the Indenture inadequate
         for the practical realization of the rights and benefits intended to be
         provided thereby.

                  (e)      Except for (i) the filing for recordation pursuant to
         the Transportation Code of the Indenture (with the Indenture Supplement

         Commercial Code of Delaware, no further filing or recording of any
         document is necessary or advisable under the laws of the United States
         or any state thereof as of the Closing Date in order to establish and
         perfect the security interest in the Aircraft created under the
         Indenture in favor of the Loan Trustee as against the Company and any
         third parties in any applicable jurisdiction in the United States.

                  (f)      The Company is not an investment company or a company
         controlled by an investment company within the meaning of the
         Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

                  (g)      As of the Closing Date, (i) the Company has good
         title to the Aircraft, free and clear of Liens other than Permitted
         Liens, (ii) the Aircraft has been duly certified by the FAA as to type
         and airworthiness in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, (iii)

         attached) has been duly filed for recordation (or shall be in the
         process of being so duly filed for recordation) with the FAA pursuant
         to the Transportation Code and (iv) the Aircraft is duly registered
         with the FAA in the name of the Company.

         Section 4.02. General Indemnity. (a) Claims Defined. For the purposes
of this Section 4.02, "Claims" shall mean any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits, costs or expenses of
whatsoever kind and nature (whether or not on the basis of negligence, strict or
absolute liability or liability in tort) that may be imposed on, incurred by,
suffered by or asserted against an Indemnitee, as defined herein, and, except as
otherwise expressly provided in this Section 4.02, shall include all reasonable
out-of-pocket costs, disbursements and expenses (including reasonable
out-of-pocket legal fees and expenses) of an Indemnitee in connection therewith
or related thereto.

         (b)      Indemnitee Defined. For the purposes of this Section 4.02,
"Indemnitee" means (i) U.S. Bank and the Loan Trustee, (ii) each separate or
additional trustee appointed pursuant to Section 8.02 of the Indenture, (iii) so
long as it holds any Equipment Notes as agent and trustee of any Pass Through
Trustee, the Subordination

                                       10

<PAGE>

Agent, (iv) so long as it is the holder of any Equipment Notes, each Pass
Through Trustee and each Related Noteholder, (v) each Liquidity Provider and
(vi) each of their respective successors and permitted assigns in such
capacities, agents, servants, officers, employees and directors (the respective
agents, servants, officers, employees and directors of each of the foregoing
Indemnitees, as applicable, together with such Indemnitee, being referred to
herein collectively as the "Related Indemnitee Group" of such Indemnitee);
provided that such Persons shall, to the extent they are not signatories to this
Agreement, have expressly agreed in writing to be bound by the terms of this
Section 4.02 prior to, or concurrently with, the making of a Claim hereunder. If
an Indemnitee fails to comply with any duty or obligation under this Section
4.02 with respect to any Claim, such Indemnitee shall not, to the extent such
failure was prejudicial to the Company, be entitled to any indemnity with
respect to such Claim under this Section 4.02. No holder of a Pass Through
Certificate in its capacity as such holder shall be an Indemnitee for purposes
hereof.

         (c)      Claims Indemnified. Subject to the exclusions stated in
Subsection 4.02(d), the Company agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold
harmless on an after-Tax basis each Indemnitee against Claims resulting from or
arising out of the sale, purchase, acceptance, non-acceptance or rejection of
the Aircraft under the Purchase Agreement or the ownership, possession, use,
non-use, substitution, airworthiness, control, maintenance, repair, operation,
registration, re-registration, condition, sale, lease, sublease, storage,
modification, alteration, return, transfer or other disposition of the Aircraft,
the Airframe, any Engine or any Part (including, without limitation, latent or
other defects, whether or not discoverable, and any claim for patent, trademark
or copyright infringement) by the Company, any Permitted Lessee or any other
Person. Without limiting the foregoing and subject to, and without duplication
of, the provisions of Section 6.01(a), the Company agrees to pay the reasonable
ongoing fees, and the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including,
without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and disbursements and, to the
extent payable as provided in the Indenture, reasonable compensation and
expenses of the Loan Trustee's agents), of the Loan Trustee in connection with
the transactions contemplated hereby.

         (d)      Claims Excluded. The following are excluded from the Company's
agreement to indemnify an Indemnitee under this Section 4.02:

                  (i)      any Claim to the extent such Claim is attributable to
         acts or events occurring after (x) the Lien of the Indenture has been
         discharged or (y) the transfer of possession of the Aircraft pursuant
         to Article IV of the Indenture except to the extent that such Claim is
         attributable to acts occurring in connection with the exercise of
         remedies pursuant to Section 4.02 of the Indenture following the
         occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default; provided that
         nothing in this clause (i) shall be deemed to release the Company from
         any of its obligations

                                       11

<PAGE>

         under the Operative Documents that expressly provide for performance
         after the termination of the Indenture;

                  (ii)     any Claim to the extent such Claim is, or is
         attributable to, a Tax, except with respect to paying any indemnity on
         an after-tax basis;

                  (iii)    any Claim to the extent such Claim is attributable to
         the negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or such
         Indemnitee's Related Indemnitee Group;

                  (iv)     any Claim to the extent such Claim is attributable to
         the noncompliance by such Indemnitee or such Indemnitee's Related
         Indemnitee Group with any of the terms of, or any misrepresentation by
         an Indemnitee or its Related Indemnitee Group contained in, this
         Agreement, any other Operative Document or any Pass Through Document to
         which such Indemnitee or any of such Related Indemnitee Group is a
         party or any agreement relating hereto or thereto;

                  (v)      any Claim to the extent such Claim constitutes a
         Permitted Lien attributable to such Indemnitee;

                  (vi)     any Claim to the extent such Claim is attributable to
         the offer, sale, assignment, transfer, participation or other
         disposition of any Equipment Note or Pass Through Certificate, all or
         any part of such Indemnitee's interest in the Operative Documents or
         the Pass Through Documents or any interest in the Collateral or any
         similar security (whether voluntary or involuntary) by or on behalf of
         such Indemnitee or its Related Indemnitee Group other than during the
         occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default (provided that any
         such offer, sale, assignment, transfer, participation or other
         disposition during the occurrence and continuation of an Event of
         Default shall not be subject to indemnification unless it is made in
         accordance with the Indenture and applicable law);

                  (vii)    any Claim to the extent such Claim is attributable to
         (A) a failure on the part of the Loan Trustee to distribute in
         accordance with this Agreement or the Indenture any amounts received
         and distributable by it hereunder or thereunder, (B) a failure on the
         part of the Subordination Agent to distribute in accordance with the
         Intercreditor Agreement any amounts received and distributable by it
         thereunder or (C) a failure on the part of any Pass Through Trustee to
         distribute in accordance with the Pass Through Trust Agreement to which
         it is a party any amounts received and distributable by it thereunder;

                  (viii)   any Claim to the extent such Claim is attributable to
         the authorization or giving or withholding of any future amendments,
         supplements,

                                       12

<PAGE>

         waivers or consents with respect to any Operative Document or any Pass
         Through Document, other than such as have been requested by the Company
         or that occur as the result of an Event of Default, or such as are
         expressly required or contemplated by the provisions of the Operative
         Documents or the Pass Through Documents;

                  (ix)     any Claim to the extent such Claim is (a) paid by the
         Company pursuant to any indemnification, compensation or reimbursement
         provision of any other Operative Document or any Pass Through Document
         (without duplication of any payment obligation of the Company) or (b)
         payable or borne by a Person in its individual capacity other than the
         Company pursuant to any provision of any Operative Document or any Pass
         Through Document;

                  (x)      any Claim to the extent such Claim is an ordinary and
         usual operating or overhead expense;

                  (xi)     any Claim to the extent such Claim is incurred by or
         asserted as a result of any "prohibited transaction" within the meaning
         of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code; and

                  (xii)    any Claim to the extent such Claim is attributable to
         one or more of the other aircraft financed through the offering of Pass
         Through Certificates (in the event of doubt, any Claim shall be
         allocated between the Aircraft and such other aircraft in the same
         proportion that the then outstanding Equipment Notes bear to the then
         outstanding equipment notes issued with respect to the other aircraft
         and held by the Pass Through Trustees).

         (e)      Insured Claims. In the case of any Claim indemnified by the
Company hereunder that is covered by a policy of insurance maintained by the
Company, each Indemnitee agrees to cooperate, at the Company's expense, with the
insurers in the exercise of their rights to investigate, defend or compromise
such Claim.

         (f)      Claims Procedure. An Indemnitee shall promptly notify the
Company of any Claim as to which indemnification is sought; provided that the
failure to provide such prompt notice shall not release the Company from any of
its obligations to indemnify hereunder, except to the extent that the Company is
prejudiced by such failure or the Company's indemnification obligations are
increased as a result of such failure. Such Indemnitee shall promptly submit to
the Company all additional information in such Indemnitee's possession to
substantiate such request for payment to the Company as the Company shall
reasonably request. Subject to the rights of insurers under policies of
insurance maintained by the Company, the Company shall have the right, at its
sole cost and expense, to investigate, and the right in its sole discretion to
defend or compromise, any Claim for which indemnification is sought under this
Section 4.02, and, at the

                                       13

<PAGE>

Company's expense, the Indemnitee shall cooperate with all reasonable requests
of the Company in connection therewith. Such Indemnitee shall not enter into a
settlement or other compromise with respect to any Claim without the prior
written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed, unless such Indemnitee waives its right to be indemnified with
respect to such Claim under this Section 4.02. Where the Company or the insurers
under a policy of insurance maintained by the Company undertake the defense of
an Indemnitee with respect to a Claim, no additional legal fees or expenses of
such Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such Claim shall be
indemnified hereunder unless such fees or expenses were incurred at the written
request of the Company or such insurers. Subject to the requirements of any
policy of insurance, an Indemnitee may participate at its own expense in any
judicial proceeding controlled by the Company pursuant to the preceding
provisions; provided that such party's participation does not, in the opinion of
the counsel appointed by the Company or its insurers to conduct such
proceedings, interfere with such control; and such participation shall not
constitute a waiver of the indemnification provided in this Section 4.02.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not
under any circumstances be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one
counsel for all Indemnitees.

         (g)      Subrogation. To the extent that a Claim indemnified by the
Company under this Section 4.02 is in fact paid in full by the Company or an
insurer under a policy of insurance maintained by the Company, the Company or
such insurer, as the case may be, shall, without any further action, be
subrogated to the rights and remedies of the Indemnitee on whose behalf such
Claim was paid with respect to the transaction or event giving rise to such
Claim. Such Indemnitee shall give such further assurances or agreements and
shall cooperate with the Company or such insurer, as the case may be, to permit
the Company or such insurer to pursue such rights and remedies, if any, to the
extent reasonably requested by the Company. So long as no Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, if an Indemnitee receives any payment from any
party other than the Company or its insurers, in whole or in part, with respect
to any Claim paid by the Company or its insurers hereunder, it shall promptly
pay over to the Company the amount received (but not an amount in excess of the
amount the Company or any of its insurers has paid in respect of such Claim).
Any amount referred to in the preceding sentence that is payable to the Company
shall not be paid to the Company, or, if it has been previously paid directly to
the Company, shall not be retained by the Company, if at the time of such
payment an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, but shall be
paid to and held by the Loan Trustee as security for the obligations of the
Company under this Agreement, the Indenture and the other Operative Documents,
and, if the Company agrees, shall be applied against the Company's obligations
hereunder and thereunder when and as they become due and payable and, at such
time as there shall not be continuing any such Event of Default, such amount, to
the extent not previously so applied against the Company's obligations, shall be
paid to the Company.

any particular value, useful life or residual value.

         (i)      Payments; Interest. Any amount payable to any Indemnitee

Indemnitee or to the Company, as the case may be, shall be made in immediately
available funds at such bank or to such account as is specified by the payee in
written directions to the payor or, if no such directions shall have been given,
by check of the payor payable to the order of the payee and mailed to the payee
by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid to its address
referred to in Section 7.01. To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest
at the Past Due Rate shall be paid, on demand, on any amount or indemnity not
paid when due pursuant to this Section 4.02 until the same shall be paid. Such
interest shall be paid in the same manner as the unpaid amount in respect of
which such interest is due.

         will not be subject to any Taxes imposed by the State of Connecticut,
         the State of Delaware or any political subdivision thereof.

         filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements.

         (b)      The Loan Trustee, the Noteholders, the Subordination Agent and
each Pass Through Trustee agree to execute and deliver, at the Company's
expense, all such documents as the Company may reasonably request for the
purpose of continuing the registration of the Aircraft at the FAA in the
Company's name. In addition, each of the Loan Trustee, the Subordination Agent,
each Pass Through Trustee and any other Noteholder agrees, for the benefit of

reasonable satisfaction of, or waived by, the Loan Trustee and the Policy
Provider.

         (c)      Each of U.S. Bank, the Loan Trustee, the Subordination Agent,
each Pass Through Trustee and any other Noteholder, the Class G Liquidity
Provider (by entering into the Class G Liquidity Facility), and the Policy
Provider (by entering into the Policy Provider Agreement), agrees that, unless

and for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement that it will not directly
or indirectly create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Noteholder Liens, and
such Noteholder agrees that it will, at its own cost and expense, promptly take
such action as may be necessary to discharge and satisfy in full any such

except to the extent that such failure is attributable to the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of such Pass Through Trustee. For purposes of this Section
6.01(f), the "Applicable Portion" of any amount shall equal such amount
multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of the then
outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Equipment Notes held by the
relevant Pass Through Trustee, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of
the outstanding aggregate principal amount of all "Equipment Notes" issued under
each of the "Indentures" (in each case as defined in the Intercreditor
Agreement) held by such Pass Through Trustee.

         Section 6.02. Certain Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants
and agrees with the Loan Trustee as follows:

                  (a)      On and after the Closing, the Company will cause to
         be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered such further acts,
         conveyances and assurances as the Loan Trustee shall reasonably request
         for accomplishing the purposes of this Agreement and the other
         Operative Documents; provided that any instrument or other document so
         executed by the Company will not expand any obligations or limit any
         rights of the Company in respect of the transactions contemplated by
         the Operative Documents.

                  (b)      The Company, at its own expense, will cause the
         Indenture (with the Indenture Supplement covering the Aircraft
         attached) to be promptly filed and recorded, or filed for recording,
         with the FAA to the extent permitted under the Transportation Code and
         the rules and regulations of the FAA thereunder.

                  (c)      The Company, at its expense, will take, or cause to
         be taken, such action with respect to the due and timely recording,
         filing, re-recording and refiling of the Indenture and any financing
         statements and any continuation statements or other instruments as are
         necessary to maintain, so long as the Indenture is in effect, the
         perfection of the security interests created by the Indenture or will
         furnish the Loan Trustee timely notice of the necessity of such action,
         together with such instruments, in execution form, and such other
         information as may be required to enable the Loan Trustee to take such
         action. In addition, the Company will pay any and all recording, stamp
         and other similar taxes payable in the United States, and in any other
         jurisdiction where the Aircraft is registered, in connection with the
         execution, delivery, recording, filing, re-recording and refiling of
         the Indenture or any such financing statements or other instruments.
         The Company will notify the Loan Trustee of any change in its state of
         incorporation promptly after making such change or in any event within
         the period of time necessary under applicable law to prevent the lapse
         of perfection (absent refiling) of financing statements filed under the
         Operative Documents.

         (e)      The Company shall not consolidate with or merge into any other
Person or convey, transfer or lease substantially all of its assets as an
entirety to any Person, unless:

                  (i)      the Person formed by such consolidation or into which
         the Company is merged or the Person that acquires by conveyance,
         transfer or lease substantially all of the assets of the Company as an
         entirety shall, if and to the extent required under Section 1110 in
         order that the Loan Trustee shall continue to be entitled to any
         benefits of Section 1110 with respect to the Aircraft, be a
         Certificated Air Carrier and shall execute and deliver to the Loan
         Trustee an agreement containing the express assumption by such
         successor Person of the due and punctual performance and observance of
         each covenant and condition of the Operative Documents to which the
         Company is a party to be performed or observed by the Company;

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

                  (iii)    the Company shall have delivered to the Loan Trustee,
         each Liquidity Provider and the Policy Provider a certificate signed by
         a Responsible Officer of the Company, and an opinion of counsel (which
         may be the Company's General Counsel or such other internal counsel to
         the Company as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee,
         such Liquidity Provider and the Policy Provider), each stating that
         such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease and the
         assumption agreement mentioned in clause (i) above comply with this
         Section 6.02(e) and that all conditions precedent herein provided
         relating to such transaction have been complied with (except that such
         opinion need not cover the matters referred to in clause (ii) above and
         may rely, as to factual matters, on a certificate of an officer of the
         Company) and, in the case of such opinion, that such assumption
         agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such
         successor Person and is enforceable against such successor Person in
         accordance with its terms, except as the same may be limited by
         bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar
         laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and by general
         principles of equity.

         Upon any consolidation or merger, or any conveyance, transfer or lease
of substantially all of the assets of the Company as an entirety in accordance
with this

                                       21

<PAGE>

Section 6.02(e), the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into which
the Company is merged or to which such conveyance, transfer or lease is made
shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power
of, the Company under this Agreement and the other Operative Documents with the
same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Company herein. If
the Aircraft is at the time registered with the FAA, at the time of, or promptly
following, any such consolidation or merger, the Person formed by such
consolidation or into which the Company is merged will make such filings and
recordings with the FAA pursuant to the Transportation Code, or if the Aircraft
is at the time not registered with the FAA, such Person will make such filings
and recordings with the applicable aviation authority as shall be necessary to
evidence such consolidation or merger.

                  (f)      The Company shall, for as long as and to the extent
         required under Section 1110 in order that the Loan Trustee shall be
         entitled to any of the benefits of Section 1110 with respect to the
         Aircraft, remain a Certificated Air Carrier.

                  (g)      The Company shall not issue Series E Equipment Notes
         pursuant to the Indenture, unless it shall have satisfied the
         conditions to any such issuance in the Intercreditor Agreement, the
         Supplemental Agreement and the other Operative Documents, received
         Ratings Confirmation (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement). If
         Series E Equipment Notes are initially issued to other than the Pass
         Through Trustee for the Class E Certificates, the Company will cause
         such Series E Equipment Notes to be subject to the provisions of the
         Intercreditor Agreement that allow the "Controlling Party" (as defined
         in the Intercreditor Agreement), during the continuance of an
         "Indenture Event of Default" (as defined in the Intercreditor
         Agreement), to direct the Loan Trustee in taking action under the
         Indenture.

                  (h)      If the Aircraft has been registered in a country
         other than the United States pursuant to Section 7.02(e) of the
         Indenture, the Company will furnish to the Loan Trustee annually after
         such registration, commencing with the calendar year after such

occurring prior to such expiration) of any Operative Documents.

         Section 7.03. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN DELIVERED IN THE

pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, enter into one or more agreements
supplemental to the Indenture and to amend the Equipment Notes, without notice
to or consent of any Noteholder, to provide for the issuance of New Series C

         Section 7.06. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The headings of

by any Noteholder, shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by
the Company, and subject to the terms of Section 6.02(e), its successors and
permitted assigns, each Pass Through Trustee and any successor or other trustee
under the Pass Through Trust Agreement to which it is a party, the Subordination
Agent and its successor under the Intercreditor Agreement and the Loan Trustee
and its successor under the Indenture, whether so expressed or not.

         Section 7.08. Benefits of Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement, express
or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their
successors hereunder, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or
claim under this Agreement, except as provided expressly herein. The Company

<PAGE>

agreements, as the case may be, to the same extent as if such indemnities,
representations and warranties or covenants and agreements were made to such
Indemnitees, such Liquidity Provider or the Policy Provider, as the case may be,
directly.

         Section 7.09. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts (and each of the parties hereto shall not be required to
execute the same counterpart). Each counterpart of this Agreement including a
signature page or pages executed by each of the parties hereto shall be an
original counterpart of this Agreement, but all of such counterparts shall
together constitute one instrument.

         Section 7.10. Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto,
to the extent it may do so under applicable law, for purposes hereof and of all
other Operative Documents hereby (a) irrevocably submits itself to the
non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York sitting in the
City of New York and to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York, for the purposes of any
suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement, the subject
matter hereof or any of the transactions contemplated hereby brought by any
party or parties hereto, or their successors or permitted assigns and (b)
waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise,
in any such suit, action or proceeding, that the suit, action or proceeding is
brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or
proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof or
any of the transactions contemplated hereby may not be enforced in or by such
courts.

         Section 7.11. No Petition. Each of the Company, the Loan Trustee, the
Pass Through Trustee and the Subordination Agent covenant that until the Series

bankruptcy petition or initiate any other form of insolvency proceeding against
the Pass Through Trust holding such Equipment Notes.

         Section 7.12. Section 1110. It is the intention of each of the Company,
the Noteholders (such intention being evidenced by each of their acceptance of
an Equipment Note) and the Loan Trustee that the Loan Trustee shall be entitled
to the benefits of Section 1110 with respect to the right to take possession of
the Aircraft, Airframe, Engines and Parts and to enforce any of its other rights
and remedies as provided in the Indenture in the event of a case under Chapter
11 of the Bankruptcy Code in which the Company is a debtor.

         Section 7.13. No Waiver. No failure on the part of any party hereto to
exercise, and no delay by any party hereto in exercising, any of its respective
rights, powers, remedies or privileges under this Agreement or provided at law,
in equity or otherwise shall impair, prejudice or constitute a waiver of any
such right, power, remedy or privilege or be construed as a waiver of any breach
hereof or default hereunder or as an

                                       25

<PAGE>

acquiescence therein nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right,
power, remedy or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof by it
or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege by it. No notice
to or demand on any party hereto in any case shall, unless otherwise required
under this Agreement, entitle such party to any other or further notice or
demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of
any party hereto to any other or further notice, in any circumstances without
notice or demand.

         Section 7.14. Further Assurances. Each party hereto shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver or shall cause to be executed, acknowledged and
delivered, all such further agreements, instruments, certificates or documents,
and shall do and cause to be done such further acts and things, in any case, as
any other party hereto shall reasonably request in connection with the
administration of, or to carry out more effectually the purposes of, or to
better assure and confirm to such other party the rights and benefits to be
provided under this Agreement and the other Operative Documents.

                  (5)      all proceeds of the foregoing;

         PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that notwithstanding any of the foregoing
provisions, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Company shall have the right, to the exclusion of the Loan
Trustee, (i) to quiet enjoyment of the Aircraft, the Airframe, the Parts and the
Engines, and to possess, use, retain and control the Aircraft, the Airframe, the
Parts and the Engines and all revenues, income and profits derived therefrom and
(ii) with respect to the Warranty Rights, to exercise in the Company's name all
rights and powers of the Buyer (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) under the
Warranty Rights and to retain any recovery or benefit resulting from the
enforcement of any warranty or indemnity or other obligation under the Warranty
Rights; provided, further, that notwithstanding the occurrence and continuation
of an Event of Default, the Loan Trustee shall not enter into any amendment or
modification of the Purchase Agreement that would alter the rights, benefits or
obligations of the Company thereunder;

         TO HAVE AND TO HOLD all and singular the aforesaid property unto the
Loan Trustee, and its successors and permitted assigns, in trust for the ratable
benefit and security of the Noteholders, the Related Noteholders and the
Indenture Indemnitees, except as otherwise provided in this Indenture, including
Section 2.13 and Article III, without any preference, distinction or priority of
any one Equipment Note over any other by reason of priority of time of issue,
sale, negotiation, date of maturity thereof or otherwise for any reason
whatsoever, and for the uses and purposes and in all cases and as to all
property specified in paragraphs (1) through (5) inclusive above, subject to the
terms and provisions set forth in this Indenture.

         It is expressly agreed that notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the Company shall remain liable under the Purchase Agreement to
perform all of its obligations thereunder, and, except to the extent expressly
provided in any Operative Document, none of the Loan Trustee, any Noteholders or
any Indenture Indemnitee shall be required or obligated in any manner to perform
or fulfill any obligations of the Company under or pursuant to any Operative
Documents, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment
received by it, or present or file any claim or take any action to collect or
enforce the payment of any amount that may have been assigned to it or to which
it may be entitled at any time or times.

                                       3

         Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (but without in any way
releasing the Company from any of its duties or obligations under the Purchase
Agreement), the Loan Trustee, the Noteholders and the Indenture Indemnitees
confirm for the benefit of the Manufacturer that in exercising any rights under
the Warranty Rights, or in making any claim with respect to the Aircraft or
other goods and services delivered or to be delivered pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement relating to the
Warranty Rights, including, without limitation, the warranty disclaimer
provisions for the benefit of the Manufacturer, shall apply to and be binding
upon the Loan Trustee, the Noteholders and the Indenture Indemnitees to the same
extent as the Company. The Company hereby directs the Manufacturer, so long as
an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to pay all amounts,
if any, payable to the Company pursuant to the Warranty Rights directly to the
Loan Trustee to be held and applied as provided herein. Nothing contained herein
shall subject the Manufacturer to any liability to which it would not otherwise
be subject under the Purchase Agreement or modify in any respect the contract
rights of the Manufacturer thereunder except as provided in the Manufacturer's
Consent.

         The Company does hereby irrevocably constitute the Loan Trustee the
true and lawful attorney of the Company (which appointment is coupled with an
interest) with full power (in the name of the Company or otherwise) to ask for,
require, demand and receive any and all monies and claims for monies (in each
case including insurance and requisition proceeds) due and to become due to the
Company under or arising out of the Purchase Agreement (to the extent assigned
hereby), and all other property which now or hereafter constitutes part of the
Collateral, to endorse any checks or other instruments or orders in connection
therewith and to file any claims or to take any action or to institute any
proceedings which the Loan Trustee may deem to be necessary or advisable in the
premises; provided that the Loan Trustee shall not exercise any such rights
except during the continuance of an Event of Default. The Company agrees that
promptly upon receipt thereof, to the extent required by the Operative
Documents, it will transfer to the Loan Trustee any and all monies from time to
time received by the Company constituting part of the Collateral, for
distribution by the Loan Trustee pursuant to this Indenture.

         The Company does hereby warrant and represent that it has not sold,
assigned or pledged, and hereby covenants and agrees that it will not sell,
assign or pledge, so long as this Indenture shall remain in effect and the Lien
hereof shall not have been released pursuant to the provisions hereof, any of
its estate, right, title or interest hereby assigned, to any Person other than
the Loan Trustee, except as otherwise provided in or permitted by any Operative
Document.

         The Company agrees that at any time and from time to time, upon the
written request of the Loan Trustee, the Company shall promptly and duly execute
and deliver or cause to be duly executed and delivered any and all such further
instruments and documents as the Loan Trustee may reasonably deem necessary to
perfect, preserve or

                                       4
<PAGE>

protect the mortgage, security interests and assignments created or intended to
be created hereby or to obtain for the Loan Trustee the full benefit of the
assignment hereunder and of the rights and powers herein granted, provided that
any instrument or other document so executed by the Company will not expand any
obligations or limit any rights of the Company in respect of the transactions
contemplated by the Operative Documents.

         IT IS HEREBY COVENANTED AND AGREED by and between the parties hereto as

at the respective dates of such Equipment Notes. No Equipment Note shall be
secured by or entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or

         Section 2.03. Method of Payment. The principal amount of, interest on,
Make-Whole Amount, if any, and, except to the extent expressly provided herein,
all other amounts due to any Noteholder under each Equipment Note or otherwise

immediately available funds not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on
the due date of payment to the Loan Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office for
distribution among the Noteholders in the manner provided herein. The Company
shall not have any responsibility for the distribution of such payment to any
Noteholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision in any Equipment Note
to the contrary, the Loan Trustee will use reasonable efforts to pay or cause to
be paid, if so directed in writing by any Noteholder (with a copy to the
Company), all amounts paid by the Company hereunder and under such Noteholder's
Equipment Note or Equipment Notes to such Noteholder or a nominee therefor
(including all amounts distributed pursuant to Article III) by transferring, or
causing to be transferred, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in
Dollars, prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the due date of payment, to
an account maintained by such Noteholder with a bank located in the continental
United States the amount to be distributed to such Noteholder, for credit to the
account of such Noteholder maintained at such bank; provided that, in the event
the Equipment Notes are not held by the Subordination Agent on behalf of the
Pass Through Trustees, the Loan Trustee may at its option pay such amounts by
check mailed to the Noteholder's address as it appears on the Equipment Note
Register. If, after its receipt of funds at the place and prior to the time
specified above in the immediately preceding sentence, the Loan Trustee shall
fail (other than as a result of a failure of the Noteholder to provide it with
wire transfer instructions) to make any such payment required to be paid by wire
transfer as provided in the immediately preceding sentence on the Business Day
it receives such funds, the Loan Trustee, in its individual capacity and not as
trustee, agrees to compensate such Noteholders for loss of use of funds at the

entitled to any interest earned on such funds until such payment is made. Any
payment made hereunder shall be made without any presentment or surrender of any
Equipment Note, except that, in the case of the final payment in respect of any
Equipment Note, such Equipment Note shall be surrendered to the Loan Trustee for
cancellation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture to the
contrary, the Loan Trustee shall not be required to make, or cause to be made,
wire transfers as aforesaid prior to the first Business Day on which it is
practicable for the Loan Trustee to do so in view of the time of day when the
funds to be so transferred were received by it if such funds were received after
1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at the place of payment.

withhold at the appropriate rate from each payment of principal amount of,
interest on, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and other amounts due hereunder or under
each Equipment Note (which exclusion and withholding shall constitute payment of
such amounts payable hereunder or in respect of such Equipment Notes, as
applicable) any and all withholding taxes applicable thereto as required by law.

therewith, whenever any present or future taxes or similar charges are required

constitute payment of such amounts payable hereunder or in respect of such
Equipment Notes, as applicable) and timely pay the same to the appropriate
authority in the name of and on behalf of the Noteholders, that it will file any
necessary withholding tax returns or statements when due, and that as promptly
as possible after the payment thereof it will deliver to each Noteholder (with a
copy to the Company) appropriate documentation showing the payment thereof,

reasonably request from time to time. The Loan Trustee agrees to file any other
information reports as it may be required to file under United States law.

and except as otherwise provided in Article III, in the case of each Equipment
Note, each payment of an installment of principal amount, Make-Whole Amount, if
any, and interest paid thereon shall be applied:

                  first, to the payment of accrued interest on such Equipment
         Note (as well as any interest on any overdue principal amount and (to
         the extent permitted by law) any overdue Make-Whole Amount, any overdue
         interest and any other overdue amounts thereunder) to the date of such
         payment;

                  second, to the payment of any Make-Whole Amount with respect
         to such Equipment Note; and

                  third, to the payment of principal amount of such Equipment
         Note (or portion thereof) then due thereunder.

         Section 2.06. Termination of Interest in Collateral. No Noteholder,
Related Noteholder, or Indenture Indemnitee shall, as such, have any further
interest in, or other right with respect to, the Collateral when and if:

         amounts payable by the Company under Section 2.14 of the Related
         Indentures) due and payable shall have been paid and discharged in
         full.

         The requirements of clause (b) of the preceding paragraph shall not
apply (and the termination of such interest will occur upon the payment in full
of only the amounts specified in clause (a) of the preceding paragraph):

                  (i)      if the Policy Provider consents in writing to such
         termination (other than with respect to any payments due and payable on
         the Final Payment Date), or

                  (ii)     in connection with a redemption of the Equipment
         Notes pursuant to Section 2.10(a) or Section 2.10(d) of this Indenture,
         so long as there is no default (without regard to grace periods) in the
         payment of any amount due and payable under any Related Indenture
         (including, without limitation, any Policy Provider Amounts).

         Section 2.07. Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Equipment Notes.
The Loan Trustee shall keep a register or registers (the "Equipment Note
Register") in which the Loan Trustee shall provide for the registration of
Equipment Notes and the registration of transfers of Equipment Notes. No such
transfer shall be given effect unless and until registration hereunder shall
have occurred. The Equipment Note Register shall be kept at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Loan Trustee. The Loan Trustee is hereby appointed "Equipment Note
Registrar" for the purpose of registering Equipment Notes and transfers of
Equipment Notes as herein provided. A holder of any Equipment Note intending to
exchange or transfer such Equipment Note shall surrender such Equipment Note to
the Loan Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office, together with a

                                       15
<PAGE>

written request from the registered holder thereof for the issuance of a new
Equipment Note of the same Series, specifying, in the case of a surrender for
transfer, the name and address of the new holder or holders. Upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Equipment Note and subject to satisfaction of
Section 2.09, the Company shall execute, and the Loan Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or
more new Equipment Notes of a like aggregate principal amount and of the same
Series. At the option of the Noteholder, Equipment Notes may be exchanged for
other Equipment Notes of the same Series of any authorized denominations of a
like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Equipment Notes to be
exchanged to the Loan Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office. Whenever any
Equipment Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and
the Loan Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Equipment Notes which the
Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. All Equipment Notes
issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Equipment Notes (whether
under this Section 2.07 or under Section 2.08 or otherwise under this Indenture)
shall be the valid obligations of the Company evidencing the same respective
obligations, and entitled to the same security and benefits under this
Indenture, as the Equipment Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer
or exchange. Every Equipment Note presented or surrendered for registration of
transfer, shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Loan Trustee, duly executed by the
Noteholder or such Noteholder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and the
Loan Trustee shall require evidence satisfactory to it as to the compliance of
any such transfer with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the
securities laws of any applicable state or jurisdiction. The Loan Trustee shall
make a notation on each new Equipment Note of the amount of all payments of
principal amount previously made on the old Equipment Note or Equipment Notes
with respect to which such new Equipment Note is issued and the date to which
interest on such old Equipment Note or Equipment Notes has been paid. Principal,
interest and all other amounts shall be deemed to have been paid on such new
Equipment Note to the date on which such amounts shall have been paid on such
old Equipment Note. The Company shall not be required to exchange any
surrendered Equipment Notes as provided above (a) during the ten-day period
preceding the due date of any payment on such Equipment Note or (b) that has
been called for redemption. The Company and the Loan Trustee shall in all cases
deem and treat the Person in whose name any Equipment Note shall have been
issued and registered on the Equipment Note Register as the absolute owner and
Noteholder of such Equipment Note for the purpose of receiving payment of all
amounts payable with respect to such Equipment Note and for all other purposes,
and neither the Company nor the Loan Trustee shall be affected by any notice to
the contrary. The Loan Trustee will promptly notify the Company of each
registration of a transfer of an Equipment Note. Any such transferee of an
Equipment Note, by its acceptance of an Equipment Note, agrees to the provisions
of the Operative Documents applicable to Noteholders, and shall be deemed to
have represented, warranted and covenanted to the parties to the Participation
Agreement as to the matters represented, warranted and covenanted by the
Noteholders, including the

                                       16
<PAGE>

Pass Through Trustees, in the Participation Agreement. Subject to compliance by
the Noteholder and its transferee (if any) of the requirements set forth in this
Section 2.07 and in Section 2.09, the Loan Trustee and the Company shall use all
reasonable efforts to issue new Equipment Notes upon transfer or exchange within
ten Business Days of the date an Equipment Note is surrendered for transfer or
exchange.

         Section 2.08. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Equipment Notes. If
any Equipment Note becomes mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company
shall, upon the written request of the holder of such Equipment Note and subject
to satisfaction of this Section 2.08 and of Section 2.09, execute and the Loan
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in replacement thereof a new Equipment
Note of the same Series, payable in the same principal amount, dated the same
date and captioned as issued in connection with the Aircraft. If the Equipment
Note being replaced has become mutilated, such Equipment Note shall be
surrendered to the Loan Trustee, and a photocopy thereof shall be furnished to
the Company. If the Equipment Note being replaced has been destroyed, lost or
stolen, the holder of such Equipment Note shall furnish to the Company and the
Loan Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save the
Company and the Loan Trustee harmless and evidence satisfactory to the Company
and the Loan Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft of such Equipment Note
and of the ownership thereof.

         Section 2.09. Payment of Expenses on Transfer; Cancellation. (a) No
service charge shall be made to a Noteholder for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Equipment Notes, but the Loan Trustee, as Equipment Note Registrar,
may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any Tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or
exchange of Equipment Notes.

         (b)      The Loan Trustee shall cancel all Equipment Notes surrendered
for replacement, redemption, transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and
shall destroy the canceled Equipment Notes.

         Section 2.10. Mandatory Redemption of Equipment Notes. (a) The Company
shall redeem the Equipment Notes in whole in connection with an Event of Loss in
respect of the Airframe or the Airframe and the Engines installed thereon
(unless the Company shall have performed the option set forth in Section
7.05(a)(i) with respect thereto) on or before the Loss Payment Date at a
redemption price equal to 100% of the unpaid principal amount thereof, together
with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon to (but excluding) the date of
redemption, but without any Make-Whole Amount, and all other Secured Obligations
(other than any Related Secured Obligations) owed or then due and payable to
Noteholders and, unless the Policy Provider shall agree otherwise, in addition,
shall redeem the Related Series G Equipment Notes, to the extent required by
Section 2.10(b) of each Related Indenture.

                                       17
<PAGE>

         (b)      Unless the Policy Provider shall agree otherwise, the Company
shall redeem the Series G Equipment Notes in whole or in part in connection with
an Event of Loss in respect of a Related Aircraft (unless the Company has
performed the option set forth in Section 7.05(a)(i) of the Related Indenture
with respect to such Related Aircraft) on or before the "Loss Payment Date" (as
defined in such Related Indenture) in an amount which, together with all accrued
and unpaid interest on the amount of Series G Equipment Notes being redeemed to
(but excluding) the date of redemption and Make-Whole Amount, if any, is equal
to the lesser of (x) the Excess Amount (if any) and (y) the then outstanding
principal amount of the Series G Equipment Notes, at a redemption price equal to
100% of the amount of the unpaid principal amount of the Series G Equipment
Notes being redeemed, together, in the case of (x) and (y), with all accrued
interest on such amount of Series G Equipment Notes being redeemed to (but
excluding) the date of redemption, and Make-Whole Amount, if any.

         (c)      The Company shall redeem the Equipment Notes in whole or in
part in connection with the receipt by the Loan Trustee of payments made by a
Related Loan Trustee pursuant to clause "fourth" of Section 3.04 of a Related
Indenture in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the amount so received by the
Loan Trustee and (y) the then outstanding principal amount of the Equipment
Notes, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the unpaid principal amount of the
Equipment Notes being redeemed, together, in the case of (x) and (y), with all
accrued and unpaid interest thereon to (but excluding) the date of redemption
and, if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Make-Whole
Amount, if any. For the avoidance of doubt, payments required to be made by the
Company with respect to interest and Make-Whole Amount pursuant to this Section
2.10(c) shall not be made out of funds received by the Loan Trustee pursuant to
clause "fourth" of Section 3.04 of the applicable Related Indenture unless the
Policy Provider shall agree otherwise.

         (d)      In connection with a sale of the Aircraft, all, but not less
than all, of the Equipment Notes shall be redeemed in whole by the Company upon
at least 20 days' revocable prior written notice to the Loan Trustee at a
redemption price equal to 100% of the unpaid principal amount of the Equipment
Notes being redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to (but
excluding) the date of redemption, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and all other
Secured Obligations then due and payable and other amounts then due and payable
hereunder, under the Policy Provider Indemnity and Inspection Agreement or under
the Participation Agreement to the Noteholders and, unless the Policy Provider
shall agree otherwise, in addition, shall redeem the Related Series G Equipment
Notes, to the extent required by Section 2.10(e) of each Related Indenture. Any
notice shall become irrevocable three days before the redemption date if not
previously revoked.

         (e)      Unless the Policy Provider shall agree otherwise, the Company
shall redeem the Series G Equipment Notes in whole or in part in connection with
the sale of a

                                       18
<PAGE>

Related Aircraft pursuant to Section 2.10(d) of any Related Indenture on or
before the closing date of the sale of the Related Aircraft in an amount equal
to the lesser of (x) the Excess Amount (if any) and (y) the then outstanding
principal amount of the Series G Equipment Notes, at a redemption price equal to
100% of the amount of the unpaid principal amount of the Series G Equipment
Notes being redeemed, together, in the case of (x) and (y), with all accrued and
unpaid interest on such amount of Series G Equipment Notes being redeemed to
(but excluding) the date of redemption and Make-Whole Amount, if any. For the
avoidance of doubt, payments required to be made by the Company with respect to
interest and Make-Whole Amount pursuant to this Section 2.10(e) shall not be
made out of funds received by the Loan Trustee pursuant to Section 2.10(f)
unless the Policy Provider shall agree otherwise.

         (f)      Unless the Policy Provider shall agree otherwise, concurrently
with any receipt by any American Entity of funds in connection with any
redemption pursuant to Section 2.10(a) or 2.10(d) of a Related Indenture of any
Related Series C Equipment Notes, Related Series D Equipment Notes or Related
Series E Equipment Notes, the Company will deposit, or cause to be deposited,
with the Loan Trustee an amount equal to (i) the sum of (x) any Excess Proceeds
and (y) any aggregate redemption price actually received by such American Entity
in respect of its interest in such redeemed Related Series C Equipment Notes,
Related Series D Equipment Notes and Related Series E Equipment Notes multiplied
by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the then outstanding aggregate
principal amount of the Series G Equipment Notes and the denominator of which is
the sum of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Series G
Equipment Notes and the Related Series G Equipment Notes (after giving effect to
such redemption). The Company will, in connection with any redemption under
Section 2.10(a) or 2.10(d), make or cause to be made the deposit under Section
2.10(f) of each Related Indenture.

         (g)      Concurrently with the notice delivered to the applicable
Related Loan Trustee pursuant to Section 2.10(d) or Section 7.05(a)(ii) of the
applicable Related Indenture, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, the Company may direct the Loan Trustee either (I) to apply
all or a portion of any amounts received by the Loan Trustee pursuant to Section
2.10(f) to the redemption of the Series G Equipment Notes pursuant to Section
2.10(b) or Section 2.10(e), as the case may be, or (II) to hold such amounts as
security for the Secured Obligations and the Related Secured Obligations
pursuant to Section 5.06. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing at the time of delivery of such direction, or if no such direction
shall be delivered within the time period specified in the first sentence of
this Section 2.10(g), the Loan Trustee will apply such amounts to the redemption
of the Series G Equipment Notes pursuant to Section 2.10(b) or Section 2.10(e),
as the case may be (but, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
without Make-Whole Amount).

Trustee at a redemption price equal to 100% of the unpaid principal amount of
the Equipment Notes being redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid interest
thereon to (but excluding) the date of redemption, Make-Whole Amount, if any,
and all other Secured Obligations and other amounts then due and payable
hereunder, under the Policy Provider Indemnity and Inspection Agreement or under
the Participation Agreement to the Noteholders; provided, however, that (i)
except in connection with a Refunding as referred to in paragraph (b) below, the
Series C Equipment Notes may not be redeemed unless the Series G Equipment Notes
have been redeemed, and the Series D Equipment Notes may not be redeemed unless
the Series G Equipment Notes and Series C Equipment Notes have been redeemed,
and (ii) the interests of the Noteholders, the Related Noteholders and the
Indenture Indemnitees in the Collateral shall only terminate in accordance with
Section 2.06 and the Lien of this Indenture shall only be released and
discharged in accordance with Section 10.01. Any notice shall become irrevocable

A to the Intercreditor Agreement, (i) all, but not less than all, of the
Original Series C Equipment Notes and the Original Series D Equipment Notes,
(ii) all, but not less than all, of the Original Series C Equipment Notes, (iii)
if all the Original Series C Equipment Notes were redeemed in a prior Refunding,
all of the Original Series D Equipment Notes, or (iv) all, but not less than

amount of the Equipment Notes being redeemed, together with accrued interest
thereon to (but excluding) the date of redemption and all other amounts payable
hereunder, under the Policy Provider Indemnity and Inspection Agreement or under
the Participation Agreement to the applicable Noteholders. All redemptions
pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) shall be subject to the Company complying with
the conditions set forth on Exhibit A to the Intercreditor Agreement, and the
Company shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate of a Responsible Officer of
the Company to the effect that (x) all such conditions have been complied with
prior to or on the redemption date and (y) the Company has received any consent
of the Policy Provider required pursuant to the Supplemental Agreement, or no
such consent is required. The Loan Trustee agrees to cooperate with the Company
at the Company's reasonable request to carry out any Refunding on the terms and
conditions specified in Exhibit A to the Intercreditor Agreement.

         Section 2.12. Redemptions; Notice of Redemptions; Repurchases. (a) No
redemption of any Equipment Note may be made except to the extent and in the
manner expressly permitted by this Indenture.

         (b)      Notice of redemption with respect to the Equipment Notes,
other than redemptions made pursuant to Section 2.10(c) or Section 2.11(b),
shall be given by the Loan Trustee by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed
not less than 15 nor more than 60 days prior to the applicable redemption date,
to each Noteholder at such Noteholder's address appearing in the Equipment Note
Register. All such notices of redemption shall state: (1) the redemption date,
(2) the applicable basis for determining the redemption price, (3) that on the
redemption date, the redemption price will become due and payable upon each such
Equipment Note, and that, if any such Equipment Notes are then outstanding,
interest on such Equipment Notes shall cease to accrue on and after such
redemption date and (4) the place or places where such Equipment Notes are to be
surrendered for payment of the redemption price.

         (c)      On or before the redemption date, the Company (or any person
on behalf of the Company) shall, to the extent an amount equal to the redemption
price for the Equipment Notes to be redeemed on the redemption date shall not
then be held in the Collateral, deposit or cause to be deposited with the Loan
Trustee by 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the redemption date in immediately
available funds the redemption price of the Equipment Notes to be redeemed.

         (d)      Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid (and, if
applicable, not revoked as permitted by Section 2.10(d) or Section 2.11(a))
(and, in case of a redemption pursuant to Section 2.11(b), the conditions set
forth in Exhibit A to the Intercreditor Agreement having been satisfied), the
Equipment Notes to be redeemed shall, on the redemption date, become due and
payable at the Corporate Trust Office of the Loan Trustee, and from and after
such redemption date (unless there shall be a default in the deposit of the
redemption price pursuant to Section 2.12(c)) any such Equipment Notes then
outstanding shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Equipment
Note for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Equipment Note shall be
redeemed at the redemption price.

         (e)      Any redemption in part of any Series of Equipment Notes made
pursuant to Section 2.10(b), Section 2.10(c) or Section 2.10(e) shall be made
pro rata on the basis of unpaid principal amount of such Series of Equipment
Notes being redeemed. Upon any redemption in part of any Series of Equipment
Notes made pursuant to Section 2.10(b), Section 2.10(c) or Section 2.10(e), the
principal amount of each remaining installment of principal becoming due on such
Series of Equipment Notes on and after the date of such redemption shall be
reduced in the same proportion as the aggregate unpaid principal amount of such
Series of Equipment Notes is reduced as a result of such redemption and Schedule
I to each Equipment Note of such Series will be deemed to

                                       21

have been amended to give effect to such reduction. On the date of any
redemption in part of any Series of Equipment Notes made pursuant to Section
2.10(b), Section 2.10(c) or Section 2.10(e), the Loan Trustee will furnish to
each Noteholder a statement setting forth the remaining installments of
principal payable on such Series of Equipment Notes, determined as provided in
the preceding sentence (expressed as a percentage of the original principal
amount of such Series of Equipment Notes), after giving effect to the reductions
specified in the preceding sentence.

         (f)      At such time as no Pass Through Certificates and Policy
Provider Amounts are outstanding, the Company may at any time repurchase any of
the Equipment Notes at any price in the open market and may hold, resell or
surrender such Equipment Notes to the Loan Trustee for cancellation.

         Section 2.13. Subordination. (a) The indebtedness evidenced by the
Series C Equipment Notes is, to the extent and in the manner provided in this
Indenture, subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in
full of the Secured Obligations in respect of the Series G Equipment Notes, and
the Series C Equipment Notes are issued subject to such provisions. The
indebtedness evidenced by the Series D Equipment Notes is, to the extent and in
the manner provided in this Indenture, subordinate and subject in right of
payment to the prior payment in full of the Secured Obligations in respect of
the Series G Equipment Notes and the Series C Equipment Notes, and the Series D
Equipment Notes are issued subject to such provisions. The indebtedness
evidenced by the Series E Equipment Notes, if issued, shall be, to the extent
and in the manner provided in this Indenture, subordinate and subject in right
of payment to the prior payment in full of the Secured Obligations in respect of
the Series G Equipment Notes, the Series C Equipment Notes and the Series D
Equipment Notes, and the Series E Equipment Notes, if issued, shall be issued
subject to such provisions. By acceptance of its Equipment Notes of any Series,
each Noteholder of such Series (i) agrees to and shall be bound by such
provisions, (ii) authorizes and directs the Loan Trustee on such Noteholder's
behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the
subordination as provided in this Indenture and (iii) appoints the Loan Trustee
as such Noteholder's attorney-in-fact for such purpose.

         (b)      The Company, the Loan Trustee and, by acceptance of its
Equipment Notes of any Series, each Noteholder of such Series, hereby agree that
no payment or distribution shall be made on or in respect of the Secured
Obligations owed to such Noteholder of such Series, including any payment or
distribution of cash, property or securities, after the occurrence of any of the
events referred to in Section 4.01(f) or after the commencement of any
proceedings of the type referred to in Section 4.01(g), Section 4.01(h) or
Section 4.01(i), except as expressly provided in Article III.

         (c)      By the acceptance of its Equipment Notes of any Series, each
Noteholder of such Series agrees that if such Noteholder, in its capacity as a
Noteholder, shall receive

                                       22
<PAGE>

any payment or distribution on any Secured Obligations in respect of such Series
that it is not entitled to receive under this Section 2.13 or Article III
hereof, it will hold any amount so received in trust for the Loan Trustee and
forthwith turn over such amount to the Loan Trustee in the form received to be
applied as provided in Article III.

         (d)      By the acceptance of its Equipment Notes, each Noteholder
agrees that in the event that such Noteholder, in its capacity as a Noteholder,
shall receive any payment or distribution pursuant to this Indenture on any
Related Secured Obligations, it will hold any amount so received in trust for
the applicable Related Loan Trustee and will forthwith turn over such payment to
the Loan Trustee or the applicable Related Loan Trustee in the form received to
be applied as provided in Article III of the applicable Related Indenture.

         Agreement), multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be
         the sum of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of the
         Series G Equipment Notes and the denominator of which shall be the sum
         of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of all "Series G
         Equipment Notes" (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement);

                  (b)      the amount equal to interest on any Downgrade Advance
         (other than any Applied Downgrade Advance) payable under Section 3.07
         of the Class G Liquidity Facility minus Investment Earnings from such
         Downgrade Advance, multiplied by the fraction specified in the
         foregoing clause (a);

                  (c)      the amount equal to interest on any Non-Extension
         Advance (other than any Applied Non-Extension Advance) payable under

         Earnings from such Non-Extension Advance, multiplied by the fraction
         specified in the foregoing clause (a);

         in respect of such Unpaid Advance or Applied Provider Advance under
         Section 3.01, Section 3.02, Section 3.03, Section 3.09 or Section 3.11
         of the Class G Liquidity Facility (or, if the Policy Provider has made
         a payment equivalent to such an Advance as would have been payable
         under Section 3.07 of the Class G Liquidity Facility had such Advance
         been made) over

         (2) the sum of Investment Earnings from any Final Advance plus any
         amount of interest at the Past Due Rate actually payable (whether or
         not in fact paid) by the Company in respect of the overdue scheduled
         interest on the "Series G Equipment Notes" (as defined in the
         Intercreditor Agreement) in respect of which such Unpaid Advance or
         Applied Provider Advance was made, multiplied by (y) a fraction, the
         numerator of which shall be the then aggregate overdue amounts of
         interest on the Series G Equipment Notes (other than interest becoming
         due and payable solely as a result of acceleration of any such
         Equipment Notes) and the denominator of which shall be the then
         aggregate overdue amounts of interest on all "Series G Equipment Notes"
         (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) (other than interest
         becoming due and payable solely as a result of acceleration of any such
         "Series G Equipment Notes");

                  (e)      any amounts owed to the Class G Liquidity Provider by
         the Subordination Agent as borrower under Section 3.01, Section 3.02,

         each case, other than such amounts in respect of an Unpaid Advance or
         Applied Provider Advance as are payable under clause (d) above), and
         Section 7.05 and Section 7.07 of the Class G Liquidity Facility (or
         similar provisions of any Replacement Liquidity Facility therefor)

         continue unremedied for a period of 60 days after receipt by the
         Company of written notice thereof from the Loan Trustee or any
         Noteholder; provided that, if such incorrectness is capable of being
         remedied, no such incorrectness shall constitute an Event of Default
         for a period of one year after such notice is received by the Company
         so long as the Company is diligently proceeding to remedy such
         incorrectness;

         property shall be sequestered, or granting any other relief in respect
         of the Company as a debtor under any bankruptcy laws or insolvency laws

         part of its property and such jurisdiction, custody or control shall
         remain in force unrelinquished, unstayed or unterminated for a period
         of 90 days; or

                  (j)      any amount in respect of (i) the Equipment Notes or
         the Related Equipment Notes, including any payment of principal amount
         of, interest on, or Make-Whole Amount, if any, with respect to any

         principal amount of all Equipment Notes then outstanding, together with
         accrued but unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts due

         shall immediately become due and payable without presentment, demand,
         protest or notice, all of which are hereby waived; provided that if an
         Event of Default referred to in Section 4.01(f), Section 4.01(g),
         Section 4.01(h) or Section 4.01(i) shall have occurred and be
         continuing, then and in every such case the unpaid principal amount
         then outstanding, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon and
         all other amounts due thereunder (but for the avoidance of doubt,
         without Make-Whole Amount) shall immediately and without further act
         become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or notice,
         all of which are hereby waived; and, following such declaration or
         deemed declaration:

                  (ii)     (A) cause the Company, upon the written demand of the
         Loan Trustee, at the Company's expense, to deliver promptly, and the
         Company shall deliver promptly, all or such part of the Airframe or any

         order, or, if the Company shall have failed to so deliver the Airframe
         or any Engine after such demand, the Loan Trustee, at its option, may
         enter upon the premises where all or any part of the Airframe or any
         Engine are located and take immediate possession of and remove the same
         together with any engine which is not an Engine but which is installed
         on the Airframe, subject to all of the rights of the owner, lessor,
         lienor or secured party of such engine; provided that the Airframe with
         an engine (which is not an Engine) installed thereon may be flown or
         returned only to a location within the continental United States, and
         such engine shall be held at the expense of the Company for the account
         of any such owner, lessor, lienor, secured party or, if such engine is
         owned by the Company, may at the option of the Company with the consent
         of the Loan Trustee (which will not be unreasonably withheld) or at the
         option of the Loan Trustee with the consent of the Company (which will
         not be unreasonably withheld), be exchanged with the Company for an
         Engine in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.05(b); (B) sell
         all or any part of the Airframe and any Engine at public or private
         sale, whether or not the Loan Trustee shall at the time have possession
         thereof, as the Loan Trustee may determine, or otherwise dispose of,
         hold, use, operate, inspect, lease to others or keep idle all or any
         part of the Airframe or such Engine as the Loan Trustee, in its sole
         discretion, may determine, all free and clear of any rights or claims
         of the Company, and the proceeds of such sale or disposition shall be
         applied as set forth in Section 3.04; or (C) exercise any other remedy
         of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of
         New York (whether or not in effect in the jurisdiction in which
         enforcement is sought).

         Upon every such taking of possession of Collateral under this Section
4.02, the Loan Trustee may, from time to time, at the expense of the Collateral,
make all such expenditures for maintenance, insurance, repairs, alterations,
additions and improvements to and of the Collateral as it may deem proper. In
each such case, the Loan Trustee shall have the right to maintain, use, operate,
store, insure, lease, control, manage, dispose of, modify or alter the
Collateral and to exercise all rights and powers of the Company relating to the
Collateral as the Loan Trustee shall deem best, including the right to enter
into any and all such agreements with respect to the maintenance, use,
operation, storage, leasing, insurance, control, management, disposition,
modification or alteration of the Collateral or any part thereof as the Loan
Trustee may determine; and the Loan Trustee shall be entitled to collect and
receive directly all tolls, rents, revenues, issues, income, products and
profits of the Collateral and every part thereof. Such tolls, rents, revenues,
issues, income, products and profits shall be applied to pay the expenses of the
use, operation, storage, leasing, insurance control, management, disposition,
modification or alteration of the Collateral, and of all maintenance, repairs,
replacements, alterations, additions and improvements, and to make all payments
that the Loan Trustee may be required or may elect to make, if any, for Taxes,
insurance or other proper charges assessed against or otherwise imposed upon the
Collateral or any part thereof (including the employment of engineers,
appraisers and accountants to examine, inspect and make reports upon the
Collateral), and all other payments which the Loan Trustee may be required or
expressly authorized to make under any provision of this Indenture, as well as
just and reasonable compensation for the services of the Loan Trustee, and shall
otherwise be applied in accordance with Article III.

         If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the
Equipment Notes shall either have been accelerated pursuant to this Section 4.02
or have become due at maturity and the Loan Trustee shall be entitled to
exercise rights hereunder, at the request of the Loan Trustee, the Company shall
promptly execute and deliver to the Loan Trustee such instruments of title and
other documents as the Loan Trustee may deem necessary or advisable to enable
the Loan Trustee or an agent or representative designated by the Loan Trustee,
at such time or times and place or places as the Loan Trustee may specify, to
obtain possession of all or any part of the Collateral to which the Loan Trustee
shall at the time be entitled hereunder. If the Company shall for any reason
fail to execute and deliver such instruments and documents after such request by
the Loan Trustee, the Loan Trustee may obtain a judgment conferring on the Loan
Trustee the right to immediate possession and requiring the Company to execute
and deliver such instruments and documents to the Loan Trustee, to the entry of
which judgment the Company hereby specifically consents to the fullest extent it
may lawfully do so. All actual and reasonable expenses of obtaining such
judgment or of pursuing, searching for and taking such property shall, until
paid, be secured by the Lien of this Indenture.

         (b)      The Loan Trustee shall give the Company at least 30 days'
prior written notice of any public sale or of the date on or after which any
private sale will be held,

                                       39

<PAGE>

which notice the Company hereby agrees to the extent permitted by applicable law
is reasonable notice. Any Noteholder or Noteholders shall be entitled to bid for
and become the purchaser of any Collateral offered for sale pursuant to this
Section 4.02 and to credit against the purchase price bid at such sale by such
Noteholders all or any part of the unpaid amounts owing to such Noteholders
under the Operative Documents and secured by the Lien of this Indenture (but
only to the extent that such purchase price would have been paid to such
Noteholders pursuant to Article III if such purchase price were paid in cash and
the foregoing provision of this Section 4.02(b) were not given effect). The Loan
Trustee may exercise such right without possession or production of the
Equipment Notes or proof of ownership thereof, and as a representative of the
Noteholders may exercise such right without notice to the Noteholders as parties
to any suit or proceeding relating to the foreclosure of any Collateral. The
Company shall also be entitled to bid for and become the purchaser of any
Collateral offered for sale pursuant to this Section 4.02.

         (c)      To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company
irrevocably appoints, while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
the Loan Trustee the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the Company (which
appointment is coupled with an interest) in its name and stead and on its
behalf, for the purpose of effectuating any sale, assignment, transfer or
delivery for the enforcement of the Lien of this Indenture, whether pursuant to
foreclosure or power of sale, or otherwise, to execute and deliver all such
bills of sale, assignments and other instruments as may be necessary or
appropriate, with full power of substitution, the Company hereby ratifying and
confirming all that such attorney or any substitute shall do by virtue hereof in
accordance with applicable law; provided that if so requested by the Loan
Trustee or any purchaser, the Company shall ratify and confirm any such sale,
assignment or transfer of delivery, by executing and delivering to the Loan
Trustee or such purchaser all bills of sale, assignments, releases and other
proper instruments to effect such ratification and confirmation as may be
designated in any such request.

         (d)      At any time after the Loan Trustee has declared the unpaid
principal amount of all Equipment Notes then outstanding to be due and payable
and prior to the sale of any part of the Collateral pursuant to this Article IV,
a Majority in Interest of Noteholders, by written notice to the Company and the
Loan Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:
(i) there has been paid to or deposited with the Loan Trustee an amount
sufficient to pay all overdue installments of principal amount of, and interest
on, the Equipment Notes, and all other amounts owing under the Operative
Documents, that have become due otherwise than by such declaration of
acceleration and (ii) all other Events of Default, other than nonpayment of
principal amount or interest on the Equipment Notes that have become due solely
because of such acceleration, have been cured or waived; provided that no such
rescission or annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent default or
Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

         (e)      Notwithstanding anything contained herein, so long as the Pass
Through Trustee under any Pass Through Trust Agreement or the Subordination
Agent on its behalf is a Noteholder, the Loan Trustee will not be authorized or
empowered to acquire title to any Collateral or take any action with respect to
any Collateral so acquired by it if such acquisition or action would cause any
Pass Through Trust to fail to qualify as a "grantor trust" for federal income
tax purposes.

         Section 4.03. Remedies Cumulative. To the extent permitted under
applicable law, each and every right, power and remedy specifically given to the
Loan Trustee herein or otherwise in this Indenture shall be cumulative and shall
be in addition to every other right, power and remedy specifically given herein
or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and every
right, power and remedy whether specifically given herein or otherwise existing
may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be
deemed expedient by the Loan Trustee, and the exercise or the beginning of the
exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the
right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or
remedy. No delay or omission by the Loan Trustee in the exercise of any right,
remedy or power or in the pursuance of any remedy shall, to the extent permitted
by applicable law, impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be
a waiver of any default on the part of the Company or to be an acquiescence
therein.

         Section 4.04. Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case the Loan Trustee
shall have instituted any proceedings to enforce any right, power or remedy
under this Indenture by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings
shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been
determined adversely to the Loan Trustee, then and in every such case the
Company and the Loan Trustee shall, subject to any determination in such
proceedings, be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with
respect to the Collateral, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Loan
Trustee shall continue as if no such proceedings had been undertaken (but
otherwise without prejudice).

         Section 4.05. Waiver of Past Defaults. Upon written instruction from a
Majority in Interest of Noteholders, the Loan Trustee shall waive any past
default hereunder and its consequences, and upon any such waiver such default
shall cease to exist and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed
to have been cured for every purpose of the Operative Documents, but no such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right
consequent thereon; provided, however, that in the absence of written
instructions from each of the affected Noteholders, the Loan Trustee shall not
waive any default (i) in the payment of the principal amount, Make-Whole Amount,
if any, or interest due under any Equipment Note then outstanding (other than
with the consent of the holder thereof), or (ii) in respect of a covenant or
provision hereof which, under Article IX, cannot be modified or amended without
the consent of each such affected Noteholder.

         Section 4.06. Noteholders May Not Bring Suit Except Under Certain
Conditions. A Noteholder of any Series shall not have the right to institute any
suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity or otherwise with respect to this
Indenture for the appointment of a receiver or for the enforcement of any other
remedy under this Indenture, unless:

                  (1)      such Noteholder previously shall have given written
         notice to the Loan Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;

                  (2)      A Majority in Interest of Noteholders shall have
         requested the Loan Trustee in writing to institute such action, suit or
         proceeding and shall have offered to the Loan Trustee indemnity as
         provided in Section 5.03;

                  (3)      the Loan Trustee shall have refused or neglected to
         institute any such action, suit or proceeding for 60 days after receipt
         of such notice, request and offer of indemnity; and

                  (4)      no direction inconsistent with such written request
         shall have been given to the Loan Trustee during such 60-day period by
         a Majority in Interest of Noteholders.

         Except to the extent provided in the Intercreditor Agreement or in any
Indenture Supplement, it is understood and intended that no one or more of the
Noteholders of any Series shall have any right in any manner whatsoever
hereunder or under the Indenture Supplement or under the Equipment Notes of such
Series to (i) surrender, impair, waive, affect, disturb or prejudice any
Collateral, or the Lien of the Indenture on any Collateral, or the rights of the
Noteholders of such Series, (ii) obtain or seek to obtain priority over or
preference with respect to any other such Noteholder of such Series or (iii)
enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner provided in this
Indenture and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all the Noteholders
of such Series subject to the provisions of this Indenture.

                           DUTIES OF THE LOAN TRUSTEE

         Section 5.01. Notice of Event of Default. If the Loan Trustee shall
have knowledge of an Event of Default or of a default arising from a failure by
the Company to pay when due any payment of principal amount of, interest on, or
Make-Whole Amount, if any, due and payable under any Equipment Note, the Loan
Trustee shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Company, the Policy
Provider, each Liquidity Provider and each Noteholder by telegram, cable,
facsimile or telephone (to be promptly confirmed in writing); provided, however,
that except in the case of any notice to the

                                       42

<PAGE>

Policy Provider or any Liquidity Provider or a default in the payment of the
principal amount, interest or Make-Whole Amount, if any, due and payable under
any Equipment Note, the Loan Trustee shall be protected in withholding the
notice required in the foregoing part of this sentence if and so long as the
executive committee or trust committee of directors of the Loan Trustee and/or
trust officers thereof in good faith determine that withholding such notice is
in the interest of the Noteholders. Subject to the terms of Section 4.02,
Section 4.05, Section 5.02 and Section 5.03, the Loan Trustee shall take such
action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such default or
Event of Default (including with respect to the exercise of any rights or
remedies hereunder) as the Loan Trustee shall be instructed in writing by a
Majority in Interest of Noteholders. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.03,
if the Loan Trustee shall not have received instructions as above provided
within 20 Business Days after giving notice of such default or Event of Default
to the Noteholders, the Loan Trustee may, subject to instructions thereafter
received pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 5.01, take such
action, or refrain from taking such action, but shall be under no duty to take
or refrain from taking any action, with respect to such default or Event of
Default as it shall reasonably determine to be advisable in the best interests
of the Noteholders and shall use the same degree of care and skill in connection
therewith as a prudent person would use under the circumstances in the conduct
of his or her own affairs; provided that the Loan Trustee may not sell the
Airframe or any Engine without the consent of a Majority in Interest of
Noteholders.

         For all purposes of this Indenture, in the absence of actual knowledge,
the Loan Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a default or an Event
of Default unless notified in writing by the Company or one or more Noteholders;
and "actual knowledge" (as used in the foregoing clause) of the Loan Trustee
shall mean actual knowledge of an officer in the Corporate Trust Division of the
Loan Trustee; provided, however, that the Loan Trustee shall be deemed to have
actual knowledge of (i) the failure of the Company to pay any principal amount
of, or interest on, the Equipment Notes directly to the Loan Trustee when the
same shall become due or (ii) the failure of the Company to maintain insurance
as required under Section 7.06 if the Loan Trustee receives written notice
thereof from an insurer or insurance broker.

         Section 5.02. Action upon Instructions; Certain Rights and Limitations.
Subject to the terms of Article IV and this Article V, upon the written
instructions at any time of a Majority in Interest of Noteholders, the Loan
Trustee shall promptly (i) give such notice, direction, consent, waiver or
approval or exercise such right, remedy or power hereunder in respect of all or
any part of the Collateral or (ii) take such other action, as shall be specified
in such instructions.

         The Loan Trustee will cooperate with the Company in connection with the
recording, filing, re-recording and refiling of the Indenture and any
supplements to it and any financing statements or other documents as are
necessary to maintain the perfection

                                       43

hereof or otherwise protect the security interests created hereby. The Loan
Trustee shall furnish to the Company upon request such information and copies of
such documents as the Loan Trustee may have and as are necessary for the Company
to perform its duties under Article II hereof.

         Section 5.03. Indemnification. The Loan Trustee shall not be required
to take any action or refrain from taking any action under Section 5.01 (other
than the first sentence thereof) or Section 5.02 or Article IV unless it shall
have received indemnification against any risks incurred in connection therewith
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to it, including, without
limitation, adequate advances against costs that may be incurred by it in
connection therewith. The Loan Trustee shall not be required to take any action
under Section 5.01 (other than the first sentence thereof) or Section 5.02 or
Article IV, nor shall any other provision of any Operative Document be deemed to
impose a duty on the Loan Trustee to take any action, if the Loan Trustee shall
have been advised by outside counsel that such action is contrary to the terms
hereof or is otherwise contrary to law.

         Section 5.04. No Duties Except as Specified in Indenture or
Instructions. The Loan Trustee shall not have any duty or obligation to manage,
control, lease, use, sell, operate, store, dispose of or otherwise deal with the
Aircraft or any other part of the Collateral, or to otherwise take or refrain
from taking any action under, or in connection with, this Indenture, except as
expressly provided by the terms of this Indenture or the Participation Agreement
or as expressly provided in written instructions received pursuant to the terms
of Section 5.01 or Section 5.02; and no implied duties or obligations shall be
read into this Indenture against the Loan Trustee.

         Section 5.05. No Action Except under Indenture or Instructions. The
Loan Trustee agrees that it will not manage, control, use, sell, lease, operate,
store, dispose of or otherwise deal with the Aircraft or any other part of the
Collateral except in accordance with the powers granted to, or the authority
conferred upon, the Loan Trustee pursuant to this Indenture and in accordance
with the express terms hereof.

         Section 5.06. Investment of Amounts Held by the Loan Trustee. (a) In
General. Any monies (including for the purpose of this Section 5.06(a) any cash
deposited with the Loan Trustee by the Company, any cash received by the Loan
Trustee pursuant to Section 7.05(c) or Section 7.06(d) or otherwise (but
excluding any amounts deposited with the Loan Trustee by the Company pursuant to
Section 2.10(f) and directed to be held by the Loan Trustee pursuant to Section
2.10(g)) or Permitted Investments purchased by the use of such cash pursuant to
this Section 5.06(a) or any cash constituting the proceeds of the maturity, sale
or other disposition of any such Permitted Investments) held by the Loan Trustee
hereunder as part of the Collateral (but excluding any amounts deposited with
the Loan Trustee by the Company pursuant to Section 2.10(f) and directed to be
held by the Loan Trustee pursuant to Section 2.10(g)), until paid out by the
Loan Trustee as

herein provided, (i) subject to clause (ii) below, may be carried by the Loan
Trustee on deposit with itself or on deposit to its account with any bank, trust
company or national banking association incorporated or doing business under the
laws of the United States or one of the states thereof having combined capital

shall not have any liability for interest upon any such monies except as
otherwise agreed in writing with the Company, or (ii) at any time and from time
to time, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
at the request of the Company, shall be invested and reinvested in Permitted
Investments as specified in such request (if such investments are reasonably
available for purchase) and sold, in any case at such prices, including accrued
interest or its equivalent, as are set forth in such request, and such Permitted
Investments shall be held by the Loan Trustee in trust as part of the Collateral
until so sold; provided that the Company shall upon demand pay to the Loan
Trustee the amount of any loss realized upon maturity, sale or other disposition
of any such Permitted Investment and, so long as no Event of Default or Payment
Default shall have occurred and be continuing and no Liquidity Obligations (as
defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) or Policy Provider Amounts are
outstanding, the Company shall be entitled to receive from the Loan Trustee, and
the Loan Trustee shall promptly pay to the Company, any profit, income,
interest, dividend or gain realized upon maturity, sale or other disposition of
any Permitted Investment. If an Event of Default or Payment Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, any net income, profit, interest, dividend or gain
realized upon maturity, sale or other disposition of any Permitted Investment
shall be held as part of the Collateral and shall be applied by the Loan Trustee
at the same time, on the same conditions and in the same manner as the amounts
in respect of which such income, profit, interest, dividend or gain was realized
are required to be distributed in accordance with the provisions hereof pursuant
to which such amounts were required to be held. The Loan Trustee shall not be
responsible for any losses on any investments or sales of Permitted Investments
made pursuant to the procedure specified in this Section 5.06(a) other than by
reason of its willful misconduct or negligence.

         (b)      Cash Deposited Pursuant to Section 2.10(f). Any cash deposited
with the Loan Trustee by the Company pursuant to Section 2.10(f) and directed to

of such cash pursuant to this Section 5.06(b) or any cash constituting the
proceeds of the maturity, sale or other disposition of any such Permitted
Investments) held by the Loan Trustee hereunder as part of the Collateral, until
paid out by the Loan Trustee as herein provided (x) shall be maintained by the
Loan Trustee in a separate account and not commingled with any other Collateral,
and (y) (i) subject to clause (y)(ii) below, may be carried by the Loan Trustee
on deposit with itself or on deposit to its account with any bank, trust company
or national banking association incorporated or doing business under the laws of
the United States or one of the states thereof having combined capital and
surplus and retained earnings of at least $75,000,000, and the Loan Trustee
shall not have any liability for

                                       45

<PAGE>

interest upon any such monies except as otherwise agreed in writing with the
Company, or (ii) at any time and from time to time, so long as no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at the request of the Company,
shall be invested and reinvested in Permitted Investments as specified in such
request (if such investments are reasonably available for purchase) and sold, in
any case at such prices, including accrued interest or its equivalent, as are
set forth in such request, and such Permitted Investments shall be held by the
Loan Trustee in trust as part of the Collateral until so sold; provided that the
Company shall upon demand pay to the Loan Trustee the amount of any loss
realized upon maturity, sale or other disposition of any such Permitted
Investment and, so long as no Event of Default or Payment Default hereunder or

Liquidity Obligations (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) or Policy
Provider Amounts are outstanding, the Company shall be entitled to receive from
the Loan Trustee, and the Loan Trustee shall promptly pay to the Company, any

disposition of any Permitted Investment. If an Event of Default or Payment
Default hereunder or under any Related Indenture shall have occurred and be
continuing, or if any Liquidity Obligations or Policy Provider Amounts then due
and payable shall be outstanding, any net income, profit, interest, dividend or
gain realized upon maturity, sale or other disposition of any Permitted
Investment shall be held as part of the Collateral, subject to clause (x) of the
first sentence of this Section 5.06(b), and shall be applied by the Loan Trustee
at the same time, on the same conditions and in the same manner as the amounts
in respect of which such income, profit, interest, dividend or gain was realized
are required to be distributed in accordance with the provisions hereof pursuant
to which such amounts were required to be held. The Loan Trustee shall not be
responsible for any losses on any investments or sales of Permitted Investments
made pursuant to the procedure specified in this Section 5.06(b) other than by
reason of its willful misconduct or negligence.

         Section 6.02. Absence of Certain Duties. Except in accordance with
written instructions furnished pursuant to Section 5.01, Section 5.02 or Section
6.06, and except as provided in, and without limiting the generality of, Section
5.02, Section 5.03 and Section 5.04, the Loan Trustee, shall have no duty (a) to

Except as provided in Article V of the Participation Agreement, the Loan Trustee
shall not be deemed to have made any representation or warranty as to the

         Section 6.04. No Segregation of Monies; No Interest. Subject to Section
5.06, all moneys received by the Loan Trustee shall, until used or applied as
herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received,
but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by
mandatory provisions of law, and neither the Loan Trustee nor any agent of the
Loan Trustee shall be under any liability for interest on any moneys received by
it hereunder; provided, however, that any payments received, or applied
hereunder, by the Loan Trustee shall be accounted for by the Loan Trustee so
that any portion thereof paid or applied pursuant hereto shall be identifiable
as to the source thereof.

         Section 6.05. Reliance; Agents; Advice of Counsel. The Loan Trustee
shall not incur any liability to anyone in acting upon any signature,
instrument, notice, resolution, request, consent, order, certificate, report,
opinion, bond or other document or paper reasonably believed by it to be genuine
and reasonably believed by it to be signed by the proper party or parties. The
Loan Trustee may accept a copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors of any
party to the Participation Agreement, certified by the Secretary or an Assistant
Secretary of such party as duly adopted and in full force and effect, as
conclusive evidence that such resolution has been duly adopted and that the same
is in full force and effect. As to any fact or matter the manner of
ascertainment of which is not specifically described herein, the Loan Trustee
may for all purposes hereof rely on a certificate, signed by a duly authorized
officer of the Company, as to such fact or matter,

                                       47

any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in reliance thereon.
In the administration of the trusts hereunder, the Loan Trustee may, with the
consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), provided
that no such consent shall be required if an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, (a) execute any of the trusts or powers hereof and
perform its powers and duties hereunder directly or through agents (including
paying agents or registrars) or attorneys, and (b) at the expense of the
Collateral, consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled Persons to be
selected and retained by it. The Loan Trustee shall not be liable for anything
done, suffered or omitted in good faith by it in accordance with the advice or
opinion of any such counsel, accountants or other skilled Persons acting within
such counsel's, accountants' or Person's area of competence (so long as the Loan
Trustee shall have exercised reasonable care and judgment in selecting such
Persons).

         Section 6.06. Instructions from Noteholders. In the administration of
the trusts created hereunder, the Loan Trustee shall have the right to seek
instructions from a Majority in Interest of Noteholders should any provision of
this Indenture appear to conflict with any other provision herein or any other
Operative Document or Pass Through Document or should the Loan Trustee's duties
or obligations hereunder be unclear, and the Loan Trustee shall incur no
liability in refraining from acting until it receives such instructions. The
Loan Trustee shall be fully protected for acting in accordance with any
instructions received under this Section 6.06.

cause to be taken) such action as may be necessary duly to discharge (by bonding
or otherwise) any Lien other than a Permitted Lien arising at any time with
respect to the Aircraft, its title thereto or any of its interest therein.

consent of the Loan Trustee, lease or otherwise in any manner deliver, transfer
or relinquish possession of the Airframe or any Engine or install any Engine, or
permit any Engine to be installed, on any airframe other than the Airframe;
provided that, so long as the Company shall

                                       49

                  (i)      subject the Airframe to interchange agreements or
         subject any Engine to interchange or pooling agreements or
         arrangements, in each case customary in the airline industry and
         entered into by the Company in the ordinary course of its business;
         provided that (A) no such agreement or arrangement contemplates or
         requires the transfer of title to the Airframe and (B) if the Company's
         title to any such Engine shall be divested under any such agreement or
         arrangement, such divestiture shall be deemed to be an Event of Loss
         with respect to such Engine, and the Company shall comply with Section
         7.05(b) in respect thereof;

                  (ii)     deliver possession of the Airframe or any Engine to
         any Person for testing, service, repair, restoration, storage,
         maintenance, overhaul work or other similar purposes or for

         or other instrument;

                  (iv)     subject the Airframe or any Engine to the CRAF
         Program or transfer possession of the Airframe or any Engine to the
         United States government in accordance with applicable laws, rulings,
         regulations or orders (including, without limitation, any transfer of
         possession pursuant to the CRAF Program); provided, that the Company
         (A) shall promptly notify the Loan Trustee upon transferring possession
         of the Airframe or any Engine pursuant to this clause (iv) and (B) in
         the case of a transfer of possession pursuant to the CRAF Program,
         shall notify the Loan Trustee of the name and address of the
         responsible Contracting Office Representative for the Military Airlift
         Command of the United States Air Force or other appropriate Person to
         whom notices must be given and to whom requests or claims must be made

                  (v)      install an Engine on an airframe owned by the Company
         (or any Permitted Lessee) free and clear of all Liens, except (A)
         Permitted Liens and Liens that apply only to the engines (other than
         Engines), appliances, parts, instruments, appurtenances, accessories,
         furnishings and other equipment (other than Parts) installed on such
         airframe (but not to the airframe as an entirety) and (B) the rights of
         third parties under interchange agreements or pooling or similar

                  (vi)     install an Engine on an airframe leased to the
         Company (or any Permitted Lessee) or purchased or owned by the Company
         (or any Permitted Lessee) subject to a conditional sale or other
         security agreement; provided that (A) such airframe is free and clear
         of all Liens except (1) the rights of the parties to the lease or
         conditional sale or other security agreement covering such airframe, or
         their successors and assigns, and (2) Liens of the type permitted by
         clause (v) of this Section 7.02(a) and (B) either (1) the Company shall
         have obtained from the lessor or secured party of such airframe a
         written agreement (which may be the lease, conditional sale or other
         security agreement covering such airframe), in form and substance
         satisfactory to the Loan Trustee (it being understood that an agreement
         from such lessor or secured party substantially in the form of the
         penultimate paragraph of this Section 7.02(a) shall be deemed to be
         satisfactory to the Loan Trustee), whereby such lessor or secured party
         expressly agrees that neither it nor its successors or assigns will
         acquire or claim any right, title or interest in any Engine by reason
         of such Engine being installed on such airframe at any time while such
         Engine is subject to the Lien of this Indenture or (2) such lease,
         conditional sale or other security - agreement provides that such
         Engine shall not become subject to the Lien of such lease, conditional
         sale or other security agreement at any time while such Engine is
         subject to the Lien of this Indenture, notwithstanding the installation
         thereof on such airframe;

                  (vii)    install an Engine on an airframe owned by the Company
         (or any Permitted Lessee), leased to the Company (or any Permitted
         Lessee) or purchased by the Company (or any Permitted Lessee) subject
         to a conditional sale or other security agreement under circumstances
         where neither clause (v) nor clause (vi) of this Section 7.02(a) is
         applicable; provided that such installation shall be deemed an Event of
         Loss with respect to such Engine, and the Company shall comply with
         Section 7.05(b) in respect thereof, if such installation shall
         adversely affect the Loan Trustee's security interest in such Engine,
         the Loan Trustee not intending hereby to waive any right or interest it
         may have to or in such Engine under applicable law until compliance by
         the Company with Section 7.05(b);

                  (viii)   subject to delivery to the Loan Trustee of a
         certificate, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company, to the
         effect that the Company has received any consent of the Policy Provider
         required pursuant to the Supplemental Agreement, or that no such
         consent is required, lease any Engine or the Airframe and Engines to
         any United States air carrier as to which there is in force a
         certificate issued pursuant to the Transportation Code (49 U.S.C.
         Sections 41101-41112) or successor provision that gives like authority;
         and

                  (ix)     subject to delivery to the Loan Trustee of a
         certificate, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company, to the
         effect that the Company has received any consent of the Policy Provider
         required pursuant to the Supplemental

                                       51

<PAGE>

         Agreement, or that no such consent is required, lease any Engine or the
         Airframe and Engines to (A) any foreign air carrier other than those
         set forth in clause (B), (B) any foreign air carrier that is at the
         inception of the lease based in and a domiciliary of a country listed
         in Exhibit B hereto and (C) any foreign air carrier consented to in
         writing by the Loan Trustee with the consent of a Majority in Interest
         of Noteholders; provided that (x) in the case of a lease to a foreign
         air carrier under clause (A) above, the Loan Trustee receives at the
         time of such lease (1) written confirmation from each of the Rating
         Agencies that such lease would not result in a reduction of the rating
         for any class of Pass Through Certificates below the then current
         rating for such class of Pass Through Certificates or a withdrawal or
         suspension of the rating of any class of Pass Through Certificates and
         (2) an opinion of counsel to the Company (such counsel to be reasonably
         satisfactory to the Loan Trustee) to the effect that there exist no
         possessory rights in favor of the lessee under the laws of such
         lessee's country which would, upon bankruptcy or insolvency of or other
         default by the Company and assuming at such time such lessee is not
         insolvent or bankrupt, prevent the taking of possession of any such
         Engine or the Airframe and any such Engine by the Loan Trustee in
         accordance with and when permitted by the terms of Section 4.02 upon
         the exercise by the Loan Trustee of its remedies under Section 4.02,
         (y) in the case of a lease to any foreign air carrier (other than a
         foreign air carrier principally based in Taiwan), the United States
         maintains diplomatic relations with the country in which such foreign
         air carrier is based at the time such lease is entered into and (z) in
         the case of any lease to a foreign air carrier, such carrier is not
         then subject to any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation,
         reorganization, dissolution or similar proceeding and shall not have
         substantially all of its property in the possession of any liquidator,
         trustee, receiver or similar person;

provided that the rights of any lessee or other transferee who receives
possession of the Aircraft, the Airframe or any Engine by reason of a transfer
permitted by this Section 7.02(a) (other than the transfer of an Engine which is
deemed an Event of Loss) shall be subject and subordinate to, and any permitted
lease shall be made expressly subject and subordinate to, all the terms of this
Indenture, including the Loan Trustee's rights to repossess pursuant to Section
4.02 and to avoid such lease upon such repossession, and the Company shall
remain primarily liable hereunder for the performance and observance of all of
the terms and conditions of this Indenture to the same extent as if such lease
or transfer had not occurred, any such lease shall include appropriate
provisions for the maintenance and insurance of the Aircraft, the Airframe or
such Engine, and no lease or transfer or possession otherwise in compliance with
this Section shall (x) result in any registration or re-registration of the
Aircraft except to the extent permitted in Section 7.02(e) or the maintenance,
operation or use thereof that does not comply with Section 7.02(b) and Section
7.02(c) or (y) permit any action not permitted to be taken by the Company with
respect to the Aircraft hereunder. The

                                       52

<PAGE>

Company shall promptly notify the Loan Trustee and the Rating Agencies of the
existence of any such lease with a term in excess of one year.

         The Loan Trustee, and each Noteholder by acceptance of an Equipment
Note, and each Related Noteholder by acceptance of a Related Equipment Note,
agrees, for the benefit of the lessor or secured party of any airframe or engine
leased to the Company (or any Permitted Lessee) or purchased or owned by the
Company (or any Permitted Lessee) subject to a conditional sale or other
security agreement, that the Loan Trustee and the Noteholders will not acquire
or claim, as against such lessor or secured party, any right, title or interest
in (A) any engine or engines owned by the lessor under such lease or subject to
a security interest in favor of the secured party under such conditional sale or
other security agreement as the result of such engine or engines being installed
on the Airframe at any time while such engine or engines are subject to such
lease or conditional sale or other security agreement or (B) any airframe owned
by the lessor under such lease or subject to a security interest in favor of the
secured party under such conditional sale or other security agreement as the
result of any Engine being installed on such airframe at any time while such
airframe is subject to such lease or conditional sale or other security
agreement.

         The Loan Trustee acknowledges that any "wet lease" or other similar
arrangement under which the Company maintains operational control of the
Aircraft shall not constitute a delivery, transfer or relinquishment of
possession for purposes of this Section 7.02(a).

         (b)      Operation and Use. The Company agrees that the Aircraft will
not be maintained, used, serviced, repaired, overhauled or operated in violation
of any law, rule or regulation of any government of any country having
jurisdiction over the Aircraft or in violation of any airworthiness certificate,
license or registration relating to the Aircraft issued by any such government,
except to the extent the Company is contesting in good faith the validity or
application of any such law, rule or regulation in any manner that does not
involve any material risk of sale, forfeiture or loss of the Aircraft or impair
the Lien of this Indenture; and provided, that the Company shall not be in
default under, or required to take any action set forth in, this sentence if it
is not possible for it to comply with the laws of a jurisdiction other than the
United States (or other than any jurisdiction in which the Aircraft is then
registered) because of a conflict with the applicable laws of the United States
(or such jurisdiction in which the Aircraft is then registered). The Company
will not operate the Aircraft, or permit the Aircraft to be operated or located,
(i) in any area excluded from coverage by any insurance required by the terms of
Section 7.06 or (ii) in any war zone or recognized or, in the Company's
judgment, threatened areas of hostilities unless covered by war risk insurance
in accordance with Section 7.06, unless in the case of either clause (i) or
(ii), (x) governmental indemnification complying with Section 7.06(a) and
Section 7.06(b) has been provided or (y) the Aircraft is only temporarily
located in such area as a result of an isolated

                                       53

<PAGE>

occurrence or isolated series of occurrences attributable to a hijacking,
medical emergency, equipment malfunction, weather conditions, navigational error
or other similar unforeseen circumstances and the Company is using its good
faith efforts to remove the Aircraft from such area as promptly as practicable.

         (c)      Maintenance. The Company shall maintain, service, repair and
overhaul the Aircraft (or cause the same to be done) (i) so as to keep the
Aircraft in as good operating condition as on the Closing Date, ordinary wear
and tear excepted, and in such condition as may be necessary to enable the
airworthiness certification of the Aircraft to be maintained in good standing at
all times (other than during temporary periods of storage, during maintenance or
modification permitted hereunder, or during periods of grounding by applicable
governmental authorities) under the Transportation Code, during such periods in
which the Aircraft is registered under the laws of the United States, or, if the
Aircraft is registered under the laws of any other jurisdiction, the applicable
laws of such jurisdiction and (ii) using the same standards as the Company or,
in the case of a lease permitted pursuant to Section 7.02(a), the applicable
Permitted Lessee uses with respect to similar aircraft operated by the Company
or such Permitted Lessee, as the case may be, in similar circumstances (in any
case, without limitation of the Company's obligations under the preceding clause
(i)). In any case the Aircraft will be maintained in accordance with the
maintenance standards required by or substantially equivalent to those required
by the FAA or the central aviation authority of Australia, Austria, Belgium,
Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the
Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland or the United
Kingdom. The Company shall maintain or cause to be maintained all records, logs
and other documents required to be maintained in respect of the Aircraft by
appropriate authorities in the jurisdiction in which the Aircraft is registered.

         (d)      Identification of Loan Trustee's Interest. The Company agrees
to affix as promptly as practicable after the Closing Date and thereafter to
maintain in the cockpit of the Aircraft, in a clearly visible location, and (if
not prevented by applicable law or regulations or by any government) on each
Engine, a nameplate bearing the inscription "MORTGAGED TO U.S. BANK TRUST
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, AS LOAN TRUSTEE" (such nameplate to be replaced, if
necessary, with a nameplate reflecting the name of any successor Loan Trustee).
If any such nameplate is damaged beyond repair or becomes illegible, the Company
shall promptly replace it with a nameplate complying with the requirements of
this Section.

         (e)      Registration. The Company shall cause the Aircraft to remain
duly registered, under the laws of the United States, in the name of the Company
except as otherwise required by the Transportation Code; provided that the Loan
Trustee shall, at the Company's expense, execute and deliver all such documents
as the Company may reasonably request for the purpose of continuing such
registration. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Company, at its own
expense, and subject to delivery to the Loan

                                       54

<PAGE>

Trustee of a certificate, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company, to the
effect that the Company has received any consent of the Policy Provider required
pursuant to the Supplemental Agreement, or that no such consent is required, may
cause or allow the Aircraft to be duly registered under the laws of any foreign
jurisdiction in which a Permitted Lessee could be principally based, in the name
of the Company or of any nominee of the Company, or, if required by applicable
law, in the name of any other Person (and, following any such foreign
registration, may cause the Aircraft to be re-registered under the laws of the
United States); provided, that in the case of jurisdictions other than those
approved by the Loan Trustee with the consent of a Majority in Interest of the
Noteholders (i) if such jurisdiction is at the time of registration listed on
Exhibit B, the Loan Trustee shall have received at the time of such registration
an opinion of counsel to the Company to the effect that (A) this Indenture and
the Loan Trustee's right to repossession thereunder is valid and enforceable
under the laws of such country, (B) after giving effect to such change in
registration, the Lien of this Indenture shall continue as a valid Lien and
shall be duly perfected in the new jurisdiction of registration and that all
filing, recording or other action necessary to perfect and protect the Lien of
this Indenture has been accomplished (or if such opinion cannot be given at such
time, (x) the opinion shall detail what filing, recording or other action is
necessary and (y) the Loan Trustee shall have received a certificate from a
Responsible Officer of the Company that all possible preparations to accomplish
such filing, recording and other action shall have been done, and such filing,
recording and other action shall be accomplished and a supplemental opinion to
that effect shall be promptly delivered to the Loan Trustee subsequent to the
effective date of such change in registration), (C) the obligations of the
Company under this Indenture shall remain valid, binding and (subject to
customary bankruptcy and equitable remedies exceptions and to other exceptions
customary in foreign opinions generally) enforceable under the laws of such
jurisdiction (or the laws of the jurisdiction to which the laws of such
jurisdiction would refer as the applicable governing law) and (D) all approvals
or consents of any government in such jurisdiction having jurisdiction required
for such change in registration shall have been duly obtained and shall be in
full force and effect, and (ii) if such jurisdiction is at the time of
registration not listed on Exhibit B, the Loan Trustee shall have received (in
addition to the opinions set forth in clause (i) above) at the time of such
registration an opinion of counsel to the Company to the effect that (A) the
terms of this Indenture are legal, valid, binding and enforceable in such
jurisdiction (subject to exceptions customary in such jurisdiction, provided,
that, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar
laws affecting the rights of creditors generally, and to general principles of
equity, any applicable laws limiting the remedies provided in Section 4.02 do
not in the opinion of such counsel make the remedies provided in Section 4.02
inadequate for the practical realization of the rights and benefits provided
thereby), (B) that it is not necessary for the Loan Trustee to register or
qualify to do business in such jurisdiction, (C) that there is no tort liability
of the lender of an aircraft not in possession thereof under the laws of such
jurisdiction other than tort liability that might have been imposed on such
lender under the laws of the United States or any state thereof

                                       55
<PAGE>

(it being understood that such opinion shall be waived if insurance reasonably
satisfactory to the Loan Trustee is provided, at the Company's expense, to cover
such risk) and (D) (unless the Company shall have agreed to provide insurance
covering the risk of requisition of use or title of the Aircraft by the
government of such jurisdiction so long as the Aircraft is registered under the
laws of such jurisdiction) that the laws of such jurisdiction require fair
compensation by the government of such jurisdiction payable in currency freely
convertible into Dollars for the loss of use or title of the Aircraft in the
event of requisition by such government of such use or title. The Loan Trustee
will cooperate with the Company in effecting such foreign registration.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to any such change in the country of
registry of the Aircraft, the following conditions shall be met (or waived as
provided in Section 6.01(b) of the Participation Agreement):

                  (i)      no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
         continuing at the effective date of the change in registration;
         provided, that it shall not be necessary to comply with this condition
         if the change in registration results in the registration of the
         Aircraft under the laws of the United States or if a Majority in
         Interest of Noteholders consents to such change in registration;

                  (ii)     the Loan Trustee shall have received evidence of
         compliance with the insurance provisions contained herein after giving
         effect to such change in registration; and

                  (iii)    the Company shall have paid or made provision
         reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee for the payment of all
         reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) of the Loan
         Trustee and the Noteholders in connection with such change in
         registration.

         Section 7.03. Inspection; Financial Information. (a) Inspection. At all
reasonable times, but upon at least 15 Business Days' prior written notice to
the Company, the Loan Trustee or its authorized representative may, subject to
the other conditions of this Section 7.03(a), inspect the Aircraft and may
inspect the books and records of the Company required to be maintained by the
FAA or the government of another jurisdiction in which the Aircraft is then
registered relating to the maintenance of the Aircraft; provided that (i) the
Loan Trustee or its representative shall be fully insured at no cost to the
Company in a manner satisfactory to the Company with respect to any risks
incurred in connection with any such inspection or shall provide to the Company
a written release satisfactory to the Company with respect to such risks, (ii)
any such inspection shall be subject to the safety, security and workplace rules
applicable at the location where such inspection is conducted and any applicable
governmental rules or regulations, (iii) any such inspection of the Aircraft
shall be a visual, walk-around inspection of the interior and exterior of the
Aircraft and shall not include opening any panels, bays or the like without the
Company's express consent, which consent the

                                       56
<PAGE>

Company may in its sole discretion withhold, and (iv) no exercise of such
inspection right shall interfere with the use, operation or maintenance of the
Aircraft by, or the business of, the Company and the Company shall not be
required to undertake or incur any additional liabilities in connection
therewith. All information obtained in connection with any such inspection of
the Aircraft and of such books and records shall be Confidential Information and
shall be treated by the Loan Trustee and its representatives in accordance with
the provisions of Section 10.16. Any inspection pursuant to this Section 7.03(a)
shall be at the sole risk (including, without limitation, any risk of personal
injury or death) and expense of the Loan Trustee (or its representative), as the
case may be, making such inspection. Except during the continuance of an Event
of Default, all inspections by the Loan Trustee and its representatives provided
for under this Section 7.03(a) shall be limited to one inspection of any kind
contemplated by this Section 7.03(a) during any calendar year. The Company will
permit the Policy Provider to exercise the inspection rights set forth in the
Policy Provider Indemnity Letter.

         (b)      Financial Information. So long as any of the Secured
Obligations remain unpaid, the Company agrees to furnish to the Loan Trustee,
each Liquidity Provider and the Policy Provider: (i) within 60 days after the

Modifications and Additions; Substitution of Engines. (a) Replacement of Parts.
The Company, at its own expense, shall promptly replace all Parts that may from
time to time be incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or any
Engine and that may from time to time become worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed,

for any reason whatsoever, except as otherwise provided in Section 7.04(c) or if
the Airframe or an Engine to which a Part relates has suffered an Event of Loss.
In addition, the Company, at its own expense, may remove in the ordinary course
of maintenance, service, repair, overhaul or testing, any Parts, whether or not
worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or
rendered permanently unfit for use; provided that the Company, except as
otherwise provided in Section 7.04(c), at its own expense, will replace such
Parts as promptly as practicable. All replacement Parts shall be free and clear
of all Liens (except for Permitted Liens and except in the case of replacement
property temporarily installed on an emergency basis) and shall have a value and
utility at least equal to the Parts replaced, assuming such replaced Parts were
in the condition and repair required to be maintained by the terms hereof.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.04(c), all Parts at any time removed
from the Airframe or any Engine shall remain subject to the Lien of this
Indenture no matter where located until such time as such Parts shall be
replaced by parts that have been incorporated or installed in or attached to the
Airframe or such Engine and that meet the requirements for replacement Parts
specified above. Immediately upon any replacement Part becoming incorporated or
installed in or attached to the Airframe or any Engine as above provided (except
in the case of replacement property temporarily installed on an emergency
basis), without further act, (i) the replaced Part shall thereupon be free and
clear of all rights of the Loan Trustee and of the Lien of this Indenture and
shall no longer be deemed a Part hereunder and (ii) such replacement Part shall
become subject to the Lien of this Indenture and be deemed a Part of the
Airframe or such Engine for all purposes to the same extent as the Parts
originally incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or such
Engine. Upon request of the Company from time to time, the Loan Trustee shall
execute and deliver to the Company an appropriate instrument confirming the
release of any such replaced Part from the Lien of this Indenture.

         (b)      Pooling of Parts. Any Part removed from the Airframe or any
Engine as provided in Section 7.04(a) may be subjected by the Company or a
Person permitted to be in possession of the Aircraft to a pooling arrangement
customary in the airline industry

                                       58
<PAGE>

entered into in the ordinary course of the Company's or such Person's business;
provided that the part replacing such removed Part shall be incorporated or
installed in or attached to the Airframe or such Engine in accordance with
Section 7.04(a) as promptly as practicable after the removal of such removed
Part. In addition, any replacement Part when incorporated or installed in or
attached to the Airframe or any Engine may be owned by any third party subject
to such a pooling arrangement; provided that the Company, at its expense, as
promptly thereafter as practicable, either (i) causes title to such replacement
Part to vest in the Company free and clear of all Liens (except Permitted
Liens), or (ii) replaces such replacement Part by incorporating or installing in
or attaching to the Airframe or such Engine a further replacement Part in the
manner contemplated by Section 7.04(a).

         (c)      Alterations, Modifications and Additions. The Company will
make such alterations and modifications in and additions to the Airframe and the
Engines as may be required from time to time to meet the applicable requirements
of the FAA or any applicable government of any other jurisdiction in which the
Aircraft may then be registered; provided, however, that the Company may, in
good faith, contest the validity or application of any such requirement in any
manner that does not involve any material risk of sale, loss or forfeiture of
the Aircraft and does not adversely affect the Loan Trustee's interest in the
Collateral. In addition, the Company, at its own expense, may from time to time
add further parts or accessories and make or cause to be made such alterations
and modifications in and additions to the Airframe or any Engine as the Company
may deem desirable in the proper conduct of its business, including, without
limitation, removal (without replacement) of Parts, provided that no such
alteration, modification or addition shall materially diminish the value or
utility of the Airframe or such Engine below its value or utility, immediately
prior to such alteration, modification or addition, assuming that the Airframe
or such Engine was then in the condition required to be maintained by the terms
of this Indenture, except that the value (but not the utility) of the Airframe
or any Engine may be reduced by the value of any such Parts that shall have been
removed that the Company deems obsolete or no longer suitable or appropriate for
use on the Airframe or any Engine. All Parts incorporated or installed in or
attached or added to the Airframe or any Engine as the result of such
alteration, modification or addition shall, without further act, be free and
clear of any Liens, other than Permitted Liens, be subject to the Lien of this
Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, at any time, remove
any Part from the Airframe or any Engine if such Part: (i) is in addition to,
and not in replacement of or substitution for, any Part originally incorporated
or installed in or attached to the Airframe or such Engine at the time of
delivery thereof to the Company or any Part in replacement of, or substitution
for, any such Part, (ii) is not required to be incorporated or installed in or
attached or added to the Airframe or such Engine pursuant to the first sentence
of this Section 7.04(c) or Section 7.02(d) and (iii) can be removed from the
Airframe or such Engine without materially diminishing the value or utility
required to be maintained by the terms of this Indenture that the Airframe or
such Engine would have had at such time had such removal not

                                       59
<PAGE>

occurred. Upon the removal by the Company of any Part as permitted by this
Section 7.04(c), such removed Part shall, without further act, be free and clear
of all rights and interests of the Loan Trustee and the Lien of this Indenture
and shall no longer be deemed a Part hereunder. Upon request of the Company from
time to time, the Loan Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Company an
appropriate instrument confirming the release of any such removed Part from the
Lien of this Indenture.

         (d)      Substitution of Engines. The Company shall have the right at
its option at any time, on at least 30 days' prior written notice to the Loan
Trustee, to substitute a Replacement Engine for any Engine. In such event, and
prior to the date of such substitution, the Company shall replace such Engine
hereunder by complying with the terms of Section 7.05(b) to the same extent as
if an Event of Loss had occurred with respect to such Engine.

         Section 7.05. Loss, Destruction or Requisition. (a) Event of Loss with
Respect to the Airframe. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Loss with respect to
the Airframe or the Airframe and the Engines then installed thereon, the Company
shall as promptly as practicable (and, in any event, within 15 days after such
occurrence) give the Loan Trustee written notice of such Event of Loss, and,
within 90 days after such Event of Loss, the Company shall give the Loan Trustee
written notice of its election to perform one of the following options (it being
agreed that if the Company shall not have given such notice of election within
such 90-day period, the Company shall be deemed to have elected to perform the
option set forth in the following clause (ii)). The Company may elect either to:

                  (i)      on or before the Loss Payment Date (as defined below)
         substitute, as replacement for the Airframe or Airframe and Engines
         with respect to which an Event of Loss has occurred, a Replacement
         Airframe (together with a number of Replacement Engines equal to the
         number of Engines, if any, with respect to which the Event of Loss
         occurred), such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines to be
         owned by the Company free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted
         Liens); provided that if the Company shall not perform its obligation
         to effect such substitution under this clause (i) on or prior to the
         Loss Payment Date, then the Company shall on the Loss Payment Date
         prepay the Equipment Notes in full in accordance with Section 2.10; or

                  (ii)     on or before the Loss Payment Date, redeem the
         Equipment Notes in full in accordance with Section 2.10. The Company
         shall give the Loan Trustee 20 days prior written notice if it elects
         to redeem the Equipment Notes on any day prior to the Loss Payment
         Date.

                                       60
<PAGE>

         The "Loss Payment Date" with respect to an Event of Loss means the
Business Day next succeeding the 120th day following the date of occurrence of
such Event of Loss.

         If the Company elects to substitute a Replacement Airframe (or a
Replacement Airframe and one or more Replacement Engines, as the case may be)
the Company shall, at its sole expense, not later than the Loss Payment Date,
(A) cause an Indenture Supplement for such Replacement Airframe and Replacement
Engines, if any, to be delivered to the Loan Trustee for execution and, upon
such execution, to be filed for recordation pursuant to the Transportation Code
or the applicable laws of such other jurisdiction in which the Aircraft may then
be registered, (B) cause a financing statement or statements with respect to the
Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, or other requisite
documents or instruments to be filed in such place or places as necessary in
order to perfect the Loan Trustee's interest therein in the United States, or in
any other jurisdiction in which the Aircraft may then be registered, (C) furnish
the Loan Trustee with an opinion of the Company's counsel (which may be the
Company's General Counsel or such other internal counsel of the Company as shall
be reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee) addressed to the Loan Trustee to
the effect that upon such replacement, such Replacement Airframe and Replacement
Engines, if any, will be subject to the Lien of this Indenture and addressing
the matters set forth in clauses (A) and (B), (D) furnish the Loan Trustee with
a certificate of an independent aircraft engineer or appraiser, certifying that
the Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, have a value and
utility at least equal to the Airframe and Engines, if any, so replaced,
assuming the Airframe and such Engines were in the condition and repair required
by the terms hereof immediately prior to the occurrence of such Event of Loss,
(E) furnish the Loan Trustee with evidence of compliance with the insurance
provisions of Section 7.06 with respect to such Replacement Airframe and
Replacement Engines, if any, (F) furnish the Loan Trustee with an opinion of the
Company's counsel (which may be the Company's General Counsel or such other
internal counsel of the Company as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Loan
Trustee) to the effect that the Loan Trustee will be entitled to the benefits of
Section 1110 with respect to the Replacement Airframe, provided that (i) such
opinion need not be delivered to the extent that the benefits of Section 1110
were not, by reason of a change in law or governmental or judicial
interpretation thereof, available to the Loan Trustee with respect to the
Aircraft immediately prior to such substitution and (ii) such opinion may
contain qualifications and assumptions of the tenor contained in the opinion of
the Company's counsel delivered pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Participation
Agreement on the Closing Date and such other qualifications and assumptions as
shall at the time be customary in opinions rendered in comparable circumstances,
and (G) deliver to the Loan Trustee a certificate, signed by a Responsible
Officer of the Company, to the effect that the Company has received any consent
of the Policy Provider required pursuant to the Supplemental Agreement, or that
no such consent is required.

                                       61

         In the case of each Replacement Airframe or Replacement Airframe and
one or more Replacement Engines subjected to the Lien of this Indenture under
this Section 7.05(a), promptly upon the recordation of the Indenture Supplement
covering such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, pursuant to
the Transportation Code (or pursuant to the applicable law of such other
jurisdiction in which such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any,
are registered), the Company will cause to be delivered to the Loan Trustee a
favorable opinion of the Company's counsel (which may be the Company's General
Counsel or such other internal counsel to the Company as shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Loan Trustee) addressed to the Loan Trustee as to the due
registration of such Replacement Aircraft and the due recordation of such
Indenture Supplement or such other requisite documents or instruments and the
validity and perfection of the security interest in the Replacement Aircraft
granted to the Loan Trustee under this Indenture.

         For all purposes hereof, upon the attachment of the Lien of this
Indenture thereto, the Replacement Aircraft and Replacement Engines, if any,
shall become part of the Collateral, the Replacement Airframe shall be deemed an
"Airframe" as defined herein, and each such Replacement Engine shall be deemed
an "Engine" as defined herein. Upon compliance with clauses (A) through (F) of
the second preceding paragraph, the Loan Trustee shall execute and deliver to
the Company an appropriate instrument releasing such replaced Airframe and
Engines (if any) installed thereon at the time such Event of Loss occurred, all
proceeds (including, without limitation, insurance proceeds), the Warranty
Rights in respect of such replaced Airframe and Engines (if any) and all rights
relating to the foregoing, from the Lien of this Indenture and assigning to the
Company all claims against third Persons for damage to or loss of the Airframe
and Engines arising from the Event of Loss.

         In the event that, after an Event of Loss, the Company performs the
option set forth in clause (ii) of the first paragraph of this Section 7.05(a),
the Loan Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Company an appropriate
instrument releasing the Aircraft, all proceeds (including, without limitation,
insurance proceeds), the Warranty Rights in respect of the Aircraft and all
rights relating to the foregoing from the Lien of this Indenture and assigning
to the Company all claims against third Persons for damage to or loss of the
Aircraft arising from the Event of Loss.

         (b)      Event of Loss with Respect to an Engine. Upon the occurrence
of an Event of Loss with respect to an Engine under circumstances in which there
has not occurred an Event of Loss with respect to the Airframe, the Company
shall give the Loan Trustee prompt written notice thereof within 15 days after
the Company has determined that an Event of Loss has occurred with respect to
such Engine and shall, within 120 days after the occurrence of such Event of
Loss, (i) cause to be subjected to the Lien of this Indenture, as replacement
for the Engine with respect to which such Event of Loss occurred, a Replacement
Engine free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens)

                                       62
<PAGE>

and (ii) deliver to the Loan Trustee a certificate, signed by a Responsible
Officer of the Company, to the effect that the Company has received any consent
of the Policy Provider required pursuant to the Supplemental Agreement, or that
no such consent is required.

         Prior to or at the time of any replacement under this Section 7.05(b),
the Company will (i) cause an Indenture Supplement covering such Replacement
Engine to be delivered to the Loan Trustee for execution and, upon such
execution, to be filed for recordation pursuant to the Transportation Code or
the applicable laws of any other jurisdiction in which the Aircraft may be
registered, (ii) cause a financing statement or statements with respect to such

such place or places as necessary in order to perfect the Loan Trustee's
interest therein in the United States, or in such other jurisdiction in which
the Engine may then be registered, (iii) furnish the Loan Trustee with an
opinion of the Company's counsel (which may be the Company's General Counsel or
such other internal counsel to the Company as shall be reasonably satisfactory
to the Loan Trustee) addressed to the Loan Trustee to the effect that, upon such
replacement, the Replacement Engine will be subject to the Lien of this
Indenture, (iv) furnish the Loan Trustee with a certificate of an aircraft
engineer or appraiser (who may be an employee of the Company) certifying that
such Replacement Engine has a value and utility at least equal to the Engine so
replaced assuming such Engine was in the condition and repair required by the
terms hereof immediately prior to the occurrence of such Event of Loss and (v)
furnish the Loan Trustee with evidence of compliance with the insurance
provisions of Section 7.06 with respect to such Replacement Engine. In the case
of each Replacement Engine subjected to the Lien of this Indenture under this
Section 7.05(b), promptly upon the recordation of the Indenture Supplement
covering such Replacement Engine pursuant to the Transportation Code (or
pursuant to the applicable law of such other jurisdiction in which the Aircraft
is registered), the Company will cause to be delivered to the Loan Trustee an
opinion of counsel to the Company (which may be the Company's General Counsel or
such other internal counsel of the Company as shall be reasonably satisfactory
to the Loan Trustee) addressed to the Loan Trustee as to the due recordation of
such Indenture Supplement or such other requisite documents or instruments and
the validity and perfection of the security interest in the Replacement Engine
granted to the Loan Trustee under this Indenture. For all purposes hereof, upon
the attachment of the Lien of this Indenture thereto, the Replacement Engine
shall become part of the Collateral and shall be deemed an "Engine" as defined
herein. Upon compliance with clauses (i) through (v) of this paragraph, the Loan
Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Company an appropriate instrument
releasing such replaced Engine, any proceeds (including, without limitation,
insurance proceeds), the Warranty Rights in respect of such replaced Engine and

         (c)      Application of Payments for Event of Loss from Requisition of
Title or Use. Any payments (other than insurance proceeds the application of
which is provided for in Section 7.06) received at any time by the Company or by
the Loan Trustee from any government or other Person with respect to an Event of
Loss to the Airframe or any Engine, will be applied as follows:

                  (i)      if such payments are received with respect to the
         Airframe or the Airframe and the Engines installed on the Airframe that
         has been or is being replaced by the Company pursuant to Section
         7.05(a), such payments shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Loan
         Trustee and upon completion of such replacement shall be paid over to,
         or retained by, the Company;

                  (ii)     if such payments are received with respect to the
         Airframe or the Airframe and the Engines installed on the Airframe that
         has not been and will not be replaced pursuant to Section 7.05(a), so
         much of such payments remaining after reimbursement of the Loan Trustee
         for costs and expenses that shall not exceed the amounts required to be
         paid by the Company to the Noteholders and the holders of the Related
         Series G Equipment Notes pursuant to Section 2.10 hereof and of each
         Related Indenture shall be applied in reduction of the Company's
         obligation to pay such amounts, if not already paid by the Company, or,
         if already paid by the Company, shall be applied to reimburse the
         Company for its payment of such amount and the balance, if any, of such
         payment remaining thereafter will be paid over to, or retained by, the
         Company; and

                  (iii)    if such payments are received with respect to an
         Engine with regard to which an Event of Loss has occurred as
         contemplated by Section 7.05(b), so much of such payments remaining
         after reimbursement of the Loan Trustee for costs and expenses shall be
         paid over to, or retained by, the Company; provided that the Company
         shall have fully performed the terms of Section 7.05(b) with respect to
         the Event of Loss for which such payments are made.

         (d)      Requisition for Use by the Government of the Airframe and the
Engines Installed Thereon. In the event of the requisition for use by any
government, including, without limitation, pursuant to the CRAF Program, of the
Airframe and the Engines or engines installed on the Airframe that does not
constitute an Event of Loss, the Company shall promptly notify the Loan Trustee
and all of the Company's rights and obligations under this Indenture with
respect to the Airframe and such Engines shall continue to the same extent as if
such requisition had not occurred; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Company's obligations other than payment obligations shall only continue to
the extent feasible. All payments received by the Company or the Loan Trustee
from such government for such use of the Airframe and Engines or engines shall
be paid over to, or retained by, the Company.

                                       64
<PAGE>

         (e)      Requisition for Use by the Government of an Engine Not
Installed on the Airframe. In the event of the requisition for use by any
government of any Engine not then installed on the Airframe, the Company will
replace such Engine by complying with the terms of Section 7.05(b) to the same
extent as if an Event of Loss had occurred with respect to such Engine. Upon
such replacement, any payments received by the Company or the Loan Trustee from
such government with respect to such requisition shall be paid over to, or
retained by, the Company.

         (f)      Application of Payments During Existence of Event of Default.
Any amount referred to in Section 7.05 that is payable to or retainable by the
Company shall not be paid to or retained by the Company if at the time of such
payment or retention an Event of Default or Payment Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, but shall be held by or paid over to the Loan Trustee as
security for the Secured Obligations and the Related Secured Obligations. At
such time as there shall not be continuing any such Event of Default or Payment
Default, such amount shall be paid to the Company.

         Section 7.06. Insurance.

         (a)      Aircraft Liability Insurance.

                  (i)      Except as provided in clause (ii) of this subsection
         (a), and subject to the rights of the Company to establish and maintain
         self-insurance in the manner and to the extent specified in Section
         7.06(c), the Company will carry, or cause to be carried, at no expense
         to the Loan Trustee, aircraft liability insurance (including, but not
         limited to, bodily injury, personal injury and property damage
         liability, exclusive of manufacturer's product liability insurance) and
         contractual liability insurance with respect to the Aircraft (A) in
         amounts that are not less than the aircraft liability insurance
         applicable to similar aircraft and engines in the Company's fleet on
         which the Company carries insurance; provided that such liability
         insurance shall not be less than the amount certified in the insurance
         report delivered to the Loan Trustee, the Class G Liquidity Provider
         and the Policy Provider on the Closing Date, (B) of the type usually
         carried by corporations engaged in the same or similar business,
         similarly situated with the Company and owning or operating similar
         aircraft and engines and covering risks of the kind customarily insured
         against by the Company, and (C) that is maintained in effect with
         insurers of recognized responsibility. Any policies of insurance
         carried in accordance with this Section 7.06(a) and any policies taken
         out in substitution or replacement for any of such policies shall (A)
         name the Loan Trustee, the Subordination Agent, each Pass Through
         Trustee, each Liquidity Provider and the Policy Provider as their
         Interests (as defined below in this Section 7.06) may appear, as
         additional insured (the "Specified Persons"), (B) subject to the
         condition of clause (C) below, provide that, in respect of the interest
         of the Specified Persons in such policies, the insurance shall not be

                                       65
<PAGE>

         invalidated by any action or inaction of the Company (or any Permitted
         Lessee) and shall insure the Specified Persons' Interests as they
         appear, regardless of any breach or violation of any warranty,
         declaration or condition contained in such policies by the Company (or
         any Permitted Lessee), (C) provide that, if such insurance is canceled
         for any reason whatever, or if any change is made in the policy that
         materially reduces the amount of insurance or the coverage certified in
         the insurance report delivered on the Closing Date to the Loan Trustee,
         the Policy Provider and the Class G Liquidity Provider, or if such
         insurance is allowed to lapse for nonpayment of premium, such
         cancellation, change or lapse shall not be effective as to any
         Specified Person for 30 days (seven days, or such other period as is
         customarily available in the industry, in the case of any war risk or
         allied perils coverage) after receipt by such Specified Person of
         written notice from such insurers of such cancellation, change or
         lapse, (D) provide that the Specified Persons shall have no obligation
         or liability for premiums, commissions, assessments or calls in
         connection with such insurance, (E) provide that the insurers shall
         waive any rights of (1) set-off, counterclaim or any other deduction,
         whether by attachment or otherwise, in respect of any liability of the
         Specified Persons to the extent of any moneys due to the Specified
         Persons and (2) subrogation against the Specified Persons to the extent
         that the Company has waived its rights by its agreements to indemnify
         the Specified Persons pursuant to the Operative Documents, (F) be
         primary without right of contribution from any other insurance that may
         be carried by each Specified Person with respect to its Interests as
         such in the Aircraft and (G) expressly provide that all of the
         provisions thereof, except the limits of liability, shall operate in
         the same manner as if there were a separate policy covering each
         insured. "Interests" as used in this Section 7.06(a) and in Section
         7.06(b) with respect to any Person means the interests of such Person
         in the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents. In the
         case of a lease or contract with any government in respect of the
         Aircraft or any Engine, or in the case of any requisition for use of
         the Aircraft or any Engine by any government, a valid agreement by such
         government to indemnify the Company, or an insurance policy issued by
         such government, against any of the risks that the Company is required
         hereunder to insure against shall be considered adequate insurance for
         purposes of this Section 7.06(a) to the extent of the risks (and in the
         amounts) that are the subject of such indemnification or insurance.

                  (ii)     During any period that the Airframe or an Engine, as
         the case may be, is on the ground and not in operation, the Company may
         carry or cause to be carried as to such non-operating Airframe or
         Engine, in lieu of the insurance required by clause (i) above, and
         subject to self-insurance to the extent permitted by Section 7.06(c),
         insurance otherwise conforming with the provisions of said clause (i)
         except that: (A) the amounts of coverage shall not be required to
         exceed the amounts of airline liability insurance from time to time
         applicable to

                                       66
<PAGE>

         airframes or engines owned or leased by the Company of the same type as
         such non-operating Airframe or Engine and that are on the ground and
         not in operation and (B) the scope of the risks covered and the type of
         insurance shall be the same as from time to time shall be applicable to
         airframes or engines owned or leased by the Company of the same type as
         such non-operating Airframe or Engine and that are on the ground and
         not in operation.

         (b)      Insurance Against Loss or Damage to Aircraft.

                  (i)      Except as provided in clause (ii) of this subsection
         (b), and subject to the rights of the Company to establish and maintain
         self-insurance in the manner and to the extent specified in Section
         7.06(c), the Company shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, in
         effect with insurers of recognized responsibility, at no expense to the
         Loan Trustee, all-risk ground and flight aircraft hull insurance
         covering the Aircraft and all-risk coverage with respect to any Engines
         or Parts while removed from the Aircraft (including, without
         limitation, war risk insurance if and to the extent the same is
         maintained by the Company or any Permitted Lessee with respect to other
         similar aircraft owned or operated by the Company or such Permitted
         Lessee, as the case may be, on the same routes) that is of the type and
         in substantially the amount usually carried by corporations engaged in
         the same or similar business and similarly situated with the Company;
         provided that (A) such insurance (including the permitted
         self-insurance) shall at all times while the Aircraft is subject to
         this Indenture be for an amount not less than 110% of the aggregate
         outstanding principal amount of the Equipment Notes from time to time
         and (B) such insurance need not cover an Engine while attached to an
         airframe not owned, leased or operated by the Company, provided that
         such Engine is covered by a separate policy of insurance). Any policies
         carried in accordance with this Section 7.06(b) and any policies taken
         out in substitution or replacement for any such policies shall (A) name
         the Loan Trustee as exclusive loss payee for any proceeds paid under
         such policy, (B) provide that (I) any insurance proceeds payable for
         any loss or damage constituting an Event of Loss with respect to the
         Aircraft, (II) any insurance proceeds in excess of the amount set forth
         on Exhibit C up to the amount of the Loan Amount for any loss or damage
         to the Aircraft (or Engines) not constituting an Event of Loss with
         respect to the Aircraft (or Engines) and (III) if an "Event of Default"
         shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder or under any Related
         Indenture, all insurance proceeds payable for any loss or damage not
         constituting an Event of Loss, in the case of clauses (I), (II) and
         (III), shall be paid to the Loan Trustee as long as the Indenture shall
         not have been discharged, and that all other amounts shall be payable
         to the Company, unless the insurer shall have received notice that an
         Event of Default exists, (C) subject to the conditions of clause (D)
         below, provide that, in respect of the interests of the Specified
         Persons in such policies, the insurance shall not be invalidated by

                                       67
<PAGE>

         any action or inaction of the Company (or any Permitted Lessee) and
         shall insure the Specified Persons' Interests as they appear,
         regardless of any breach or violation of any warranty, declaration or
         condition contained in such policies by the Company (or any Permitted
         Lessee), (D) provide that if such insurance is canceled for any reason
         whatsoever, or if any change is made in the policy that materially
         reduces the amount of insurance or the coverage certified in the
         insurance report delivered on the Closing Date to the Loan Trustee, the
         Class G Liquidity Provider and the Policy Provider, or if such
         insurance is allowed to lapse for nonpayment of premium, such
         cancellation, change or lapse shall not be effective as to the
         Specified Persons for 30 days (seven days, or such other period as is
         customarily available in the industry, in the case of war risk or
         allied perils coverage) after receipt by the Specified Persons of
         written notice from such insurers of such cancellation, change or
         lapse, (E) provide that the Specified Persons shall have no obligation
         or liability for premiums, commissions, assessments or calls in
         connection with such insurance, (F) provide that the insurers shall
         waive rights of (1) set-off, counterclaim or any other deduction,
         whether by attachment or otherwise, in respect of any liability of the
         Specified Persons to the extent of any moneys due to the Specified
         Persons and (2) subrogation against the Specified Persons to the extent
         the Company has waived its rights by its agreement to indemnify the
         Specified Persons pursuant to the Operative Documents, (G) be primary
         without right of contribution from any other insurance that may be
         carried by any Specified Person with respect to its Interests as such
         in the Aircraft and (H) contain a "50/50 Provisional Claims Settlement
         Clause" (or its equivalent). In the case of a lease or contract with
         any government in respect of the Aircraft or any Engine, or in the case
         of any requisition for use of the Aircraft or any Engine by any
         government, a valid agreement by such government to indemnify the
         Company, or an insurance policy issued by such government, against any
         risks which the Company is required hereunder to insure against shall
         be considered adequate insurance for purposes of this Section 7.06(b)
         to the extent of the risks (and in the amounts) that are the subject of
         such indemnification or insurance.

                  (ii)     During any period that the Airframe or an Engine is
         on the ground and not in operation, the Company may carry or cause to
         be carried as to such non-operating Airframe or Engine, in lieu of the
         insurance required by clause (i) above, and subject to self-insurance
         to the extent permitted by Section 7.06(c), insurance otherwise
         conforming with the provisions of said clause (i) except that the scope
         of the risks covered and the type of insurance shall be the same as
         from time to time applicable to airframes and engines owned or leased
         by the Company (or, if a lease is then in effect, by the Permitted
         Lessee) of the same type as such non-operating Airframe or Engine and
         that are on the ground and not in operation; provided that, subject to
         self-insurance to the extent permitted by Section 7.06(c), the Company
         shall maintain insurance against risk of loss or damage to such non-

                                       68
<PAGE>

         operating Airframe or Engine in an amount at least equal to 110% of the
         aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Equipment Notes during
         such period that such Airframe or Engine is on the ground and not in
         operation.

         (c)      Self-Insurance. The Company may from time-to-time self-insure,
by way of deductible, self-insured retention, premium adjustment or franchise or
otherwise (including, with respect to insurance maintained pursuant to Section
7.06(a) or Section 7.06(b), insuring for a maximum amount that is less than the
amounts set forth in Section 7.06(a) and Section 7.06(b)), the risks required to
be insured against pursuant to Section 7.06(a) and Section 7.06(b), but in no
case shall the self-insurance with respect to all of the aircraft and engines in
the Company's fleet (including, without limitation, the Aircraft) exceed for any
12-month policy year 1% of the average aggregate insurable value (for the
preceding policy year) of all aircraft (including, without limitation, the
Aircraft) on which the Company carries insurance, unless an insurance broker of
national standing shall certify that the standard among all other major United
States airlines is a higher level of self-insurance, in which case the Company
may self-insure the Aircraft to such higher level. In addition to the foregoing
right to self-insure, the Company may self-insure to the extent of (1) any
deductible per occurrence that, in the case of the Aircraft, is not in excess of
the amount customarily allowed as a deductible in the industry or is required to
facilitate claims handling or (2) any applicable mandatory minimum per aircraft
(or if applicable per annum or other period) hull or liability insurance
deductibles imposed by the aircraft or hull liability insurers.

         (d)      Application of Insurance Payments. All losses will be adjusted
by the Company with the insurers. As between the Loan Trustee and the Company it
is agreed that all insurance payments received under policies required to be
maintained by the Company hereunder, as the result of the occurrence of an Event
of Loss with respect to the Airframe or an Engine will be applied as follows:

                  (i)      if such payments are received with respect to the
         Airframe or the Airframe and any Engines installed on the Airframe that
         has been or is being replaced by the Company pursuant to Section
         7.05(a), such payments shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Loan
         Trustee and upon completion of such replacement shall be paid over to,
         or retained by, the Company.

                  (ii)     if such payments are received with respect to the
         Airframe or the Airframe and any Engines installed on the Airframe that
         has not been and will not be replaced as contemplated by Section
         7.05(a), so much of such payments remaining after reimbursement of the
         Loan Trustee for its costs and expenses as shall not exceed the amounts
         required to be paid by the Company pursuant to Section 2.10 hereof and
         of each Related Indenture shall be applied in reduction of the
         Company's obligation to pay such amounts, if not already paid by the

                                       69
<PAGE>

         Company, or, if already paid by the Company, shall be applied to
         reimburse the Company for its payment of such amounts; and

                  (iii)    if such payments are received with respect to an
         Engine with regard to which an Event of Loss contemplated by Section
         7.05(b) has occurred, so much of such payments remaining after
         reimbursement of the Loan Trustee for its costs and expenses shall be
         paid over to, or retained by, the Company; provided that the Company
         shall have fully performed its obligations under Section 7.05(b) with
         respect to the Event of Loss for which such payments are made.

         In all events, the insurance payment of any property damage loss with
respect to property other than the Airframe or any Engine received under
policies maintained by the Company, shall be paid to the Company.

         The insurance payments for any loss or damage to the Airframe or an
Engine not constituting an Event of Loss with respect to the Airframe or such
Engine will be applied in payment (or to reimburse the Company) for repairs or
for replacement property in accordance with the terms of Section 7.02 and
Section 7.04, and any balance remaining after compliance with such Sections with
respect to such loss or damage shall be paid to the Company. Any amount referred
to in the preceding sentence or in clause (i) or (iii) of the second preceding
paragraph that is payable to the Company shall not be paid to the Company (or,
if it has been previously paid directly to the Company, shall not be retained by
the Company) if at the time of such payment an Event of Default or Payment
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, but shall be paid to and held by
the Loan Trustee as security for the obligations of the Company under this
Indenture, the Participation Agreement, the Related Indentures and the Related
Participation Agreements, and at such time as there shall not be continuing any
such Event of Default or Payment Default, such amount shall, to the extent not
theretofore applied as provided herein, be paid to the Company.

         (e)      Reports, Etc. On or before the Closing Date and annually upon
renewal of the Company's insurance coverage, the Company will furnish to the
Loan Trustee, each Liquidity Provider and the Policy Provider a report signed by
a firm of independent aircraft insurance brokers appointed by the Company (which
brokers may be in the regular employ of the Company), stating the opinion of
such firm that the insurance then carried and maintained on the Aircraft
complies with the terms hereof; provided that all information contained in such
report shall be Confidential Information and shall be treated by the Loan
Trustee, each Liquidity Provider and the Policy Provider and each of their
affiliates and officers, directors, agents and employees in accordance with the
provisions of Section 10.16. The Company will cause such firm to advise the Loan
Trustee, each Liquidity Provider and the Policy Provider in writing of any act
or omission on the part of the Company of which such firm has knowledge that
might invalidate or

                                       70
<PAGE>

render unenforceable, in whole or in part, any insurance on the Aircraft. The
Company will also cause such firm to advise the Loan Trustee, each Liquidity
Provider and the Policy Provider in writing as promptly as practicable after
such firm acquires knowledge that an interruption of any insurance carried and
maintained on the Aircraft pursuant to this Section 7.06 will occur. Such
information may only be provided to other Persons in accordance with Section
10.16.

         (f)      Salvage Rights; Other. All salvage rights to the Airframe and
each Engine shall remain with the Company's insurers at all times, and any
insurance policies of the Loan Trustee insuring the Airframe or any Engine shall
provide for a release to the Company of any and all salvage rights in and to the
Airframe or any Engine. Neither the Loan Trustee nor any Noteholder may,
directly or indirectly, obtain insurance for its own account with respect to the
Airframe or any Engine if such insurance would limit or otherwise adversely
affect the coverage or amounts payable under, or increase the premiums for, any
insurance required to be maintained pursuant to this Section 7.06 or any other
insurance maintained with respect to the Aircraft or any other aircraft in the
Company's fleet.

         (g)      Right to Pay Premium. In the event of cancellation of any
insurance due to the nonpayment of premiums, the Loan Trustee shall have the
option, in its sole discretion, to pay any such premium in respect to the
Aircraft that is due in respect of the coverage pursuant to this Indenture and
to maintain such coverage, as the Loan Trustee may require, until the scheduled
expiry date of such insurance and, in such event, the Company shall, upon
demand, reimburse the Loan Trustee for amounts so paid by it.

         (h)      Insurance for Own Account. Nothing in this Section 7.06 shall
limit or prohibit (i) the Company from maintaining the policies of insurance
required pursuant to this Section 7.06 with higher limits than those specified
herein or (ii) the Loan Trustee from obtaining insurance for its own account
(and any proceeds payable under such insurance obtained by the Loan Trustee
shall be payable as provided in the policy relating thereto); provided that no
such insurance may be obtained by the Loan Trustee which would limit or
otherwise adversely affect the coverage or amounts payable under, or increase
the premiums for, any insurance required to be maintained by the Company (or any
Permitted Lessee) pursuant to this Section 7.06 or any other insurance
maintained by the Company (or any Permitted Lessee) with respect to the Aircraft
or any other aircraft in the Company's (or such Permitted Lessee's) fleet.

                        SUCCESSOR AND ADDITIONAL TRUSTEES

         Section 8.01. Resignation or Removal; Appointment of Successor. (a) The
resignation or removal of the Loan Trustee and the appointment of a successor
Loan

                                       71
<PAGE>

Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Loan Trustee's acceptance
of appointment as provided in this Section 8.01. The Loan Trustee or any
successor thereto must resign if at any time it ceases to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of Section 8.01(c) and may resign at any time
without cause by giving at least 60 days' prior written notice to the Company
and each Noteholder. In addition, either the Company (so long as no Event of
Default or Payment Default shall have occurred and be continuing) or a Majority
in Interest of Noteholders (but only with the consent of the Company so long as
no Event of Default or Payment Default shall have occurred and be continuing),
may at any time remove the Loan Trustee without cause by an instrument in
writing delivered to the Loan Trustee and each Noteholder, and, in case of a
removal by a Majority in Interest of Noteholders, to the Company.

         In the case of the resignation or removal of the Loan Trustee, the
Company shall promptly appoint a successor Loan Trustee. If a successor Loan
Trustee shall not have been appointed within 60 days after such notice of
resignation or removal, the Loan Trustee, the Company or any Noteholder may
apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Loan Trustee
to act until such time, if any, as a successor shall have been appointed as
above provided. The successor Loan Trustee so appointed by such court shall
immediately and without further act be superseded by any successor Loan Trustee
appointed as above provided.

         (b)      Any successor Loan Trustee, however appointed, shall execute
and deliver to the predecessor Loan Trustee and the Company an instrument
accepting such appointment and assuming the obligations of the Loan Trustee
arising from and after the time of such appointment, and thereupon such
successor Loan Trustee, without further act, shall become vested with all the
estates, properties, rights, powers and duties of the predecessor Loan Trustee
hereunder in the trust hereunder applicable to it with like effect as if
originally named the Loan Trustee herein; but nevertheless upon the written
request of such successor Loan Trustee, such predecessor Loan Trustee shall
execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Loan Trustee
all the estates, properties, rights and powers of such predecessor Loan Trustee,
and such predecessor Loan Trustee shall duly assign, transfer, deliver and pay
over to such successor Loan Trustee all monies or other property and all other
books and records, or true, correct and complete copies thereof, then held by
such predecessor Loan Trustee hereunder.

         (c)      This Indenture shall at all times have a Loan Trustee, however
appointed, that is a Citizen of the United States (without the use of a voting
trust) and a bank or trust company having a combined capital and surplus of at
least $75,000,000 (or a combined capital and surplus in excess of $5,000,000 and
the obligations of which, whether now in existence or hereafter incurred, are
fully and unconditionally guaranteed by a corporation organized and doing
business under the laws of the United States or any state or territory thereof
or the District of Columbia and having a combined capital and surplus of at
least $75,000,000) or a corporation with a net worth of at least $75,000,000, if
there be such an

                                       72
<PAGE>

institution willing, able and legally qualified to perform the duties of the
Loan Trustee hereunder upon reasonable or customary terms. If such bank, trust
company or corporation publishes reports of conditions at least annually,
pursuant to law or to the requirements of federal, state, territorial or
District of Columbia supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes
of this Section 8.01(c) the combined capital and surplus of such bank, trust
company or corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as
set forth in its most recent report of conditions so published. In case at any
time the Loan Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 8.01(c), the Loan Trustee shall resign immediately in
the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.01(a).

         (d)      Any corporation, bank, trust company or other financial
institution into which the Loan Trustee may be merged or converted or with which
it may be consolidated, or any corporation, bank, trust company or other
financial institution resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to
which the Loan Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation, bank, trust company
or other financial institution to which substantially all the corporate trust
business of the Loan Trustee may be transferred, shall, subject to the terms of
Section 8.01(c), be a successor Loan Trustee under this Indenture without
further act.

         Section 8.02. Appointment of Additional and Separate Trustees. (a)
Whenever (i) the Loan Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable in order to
conform to any law of any jurisdiction in which all or any part of the
Collateral shall be situated or to make any claim or bring any suit with respect
to or in connection with the Collateral, any Operative Document or any of the
transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents, (ii) the Loan Trustee
shall be advised by counsel satisfactory to it that it is necessary or prudent
in the interests of the Noteholders (and the Loan Trustee shall so advise the
Company) or (iii) the Loan Trustee shall have been requested to do so by a
Majority in Interest of Noteholders, then in any such case, the Loan Trustee
and, upon the written request of the Loan Trustee, the Company, shall execute
and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto and such other instruments as may
from time to time be necessary or advisable either (1) to constitute one or more
banks or trust companies or corporations meeting the requirements of Section
8.01(c) and approved by the Loan Trustee, either to act jointly with the Loan
Trustee as additional trustee or trustees of all or any part of the Collateral
or to act as separate trustee or trustees of all or any part of the Collateral,
in each case with such rights, powers, duties and obligations consistent with
this Indenture as may be provided in such supplemental indenture or other
instruments as the Loan Trustee or a Majority in Interest of Noteholders may
deem necessary or advisable, or (2) to clarify, add to or subtract from the
rights, powers, duties and obligations theretofore granted any such additional
or separate trustee, subject in each case to the remaining provisions of this
Section 8.02. If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no
additional or supplemental trustee shall be appointed without the Company's
consent. If the Company shall not have taken any action requested of it under
this Section 8.02(a) that is required

                                       73
<PAGE>

by its terms within 15 days of a written request from the Loan Trustee to do so,
or if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Loan
Trustee may act under the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.02(a) without
the concurrence of the Company, and the Company hereby irrevocably appoints
(which appointment is coupled with an interest) the Loan Trustee as its agent
and attorney-in-fact to act for it under the foregoing provisions of this
Section 8.02(a). The Loan Trustee may, in such capacity, execute, deliver and
perform any such supplemental indenture, or any such instrument, as may be
required for the appointment of any such additional or separate trustee or for
the clarification of, addition to or subtraction from the rights, powers, duties
or obligations theretofore granted to any such additional or separate trustee,
subject in each case to the remaining provisions of this Section 8.02. In case
any additional or separate trustee appointed under this Section 8.02(a) shall
become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the assets, property,
rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of such additional or separate
trustee shall revert to the Loan Trustee until a successor additional or
separate trustee is appointed as provided in this Section 8.02(a).

         (b)      No additional or separate trustee shall be entitled to
exercise any of the rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred upon the
Loan Trustee in respect of the custody, investment and payment of monies and all
monies received by any such additional or separate trustee from or constituting
part of the Collateral or otherwise payable under any Operative Documents to the
Loan Trustee shall be promptly paid over by it to the Loan Trustee. All other
rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon any additional
or separate trustee shall be exercised or performed by the Loan Trustee and such
additional or separate trustee jointly except to the extent that applicable law
of any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed renders the
Loan Trustee incompetent or unqualified to perform such act, in which event such
rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to all or
part of the Collateral in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and
performed by such additional or separate trustee. No additional or separate
trustee shall take any discretionary action except on the instructions of the
Loan Trustee or a Majority in Interest of Noteholders. No trustee hereunder
shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee
hereunder, except that the Loan Trustee shall be liable for the consequences of
its lack of reasonable care in selecting, and the Loan Trustee's own actions in
acting with, any additional or separate trustee. Each additional or separate
trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 8.02 shall be subject to, and shall
have the benefit of Article IV, Article V, Article VI, Article VIII, Article IX
and Article X hereof insofar as they apply to the Loan Trustee. The powers of
any additional or separate trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 8.02 shall
not in any case exceed those of the Loan Trustee hereunder.

         (c)      If at any time the Loan Trustee shall deem it no longer
necessary or desirable or in the event that the Loan Trustee shall have been
requested to do so in writing by a Majority in Interest of Noteholders, the Loan
Trustee and, upon the written request of the Loan Trustee, the Company, shall
execute and deliver an indenture

                                       74
<PAGE>

supplemental hereto and all other instruments and agreements necessary or proper
to remove any additional or separate trustee. The Loan Trustee may act on behalf
of the Company under this Section 8.02(c) when and to the extent it could so act
under Section 8.02(a) hereof. In any case, the Company may remove an additional
or separate trustee in the manner set forth in Section 8.01.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                             AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS

         Section 9.01. Amendments to this Indenture without Consent of Holders.
At any time after the date hereof, the Company and the Loan Trustee may enter
into one or more agreements supplemental hereto and to amend the Equipment
Notes, without notice to or consent of any Noteholder for any of the following
purposes: (i) to evidence the succession of another Person to the Company and
the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Company contained
in any Operative Documents pursuant to Section 6.02(e) of the Participation
Agreement; (ii) to cure any defect or inconsistency herein or in the Equipment
Notes; (iii) to cure any ambiguity or correct any mistake; (iv) to evidence the
succession of a new trustee hereunder pursuant hereto or the removal of the
trustee hereunder or to provide for or facilitate the appointment of an
additional or separate trustee pursuant to Section 8.02 hereof; (v) to convey,
transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge any property to or with the Loan Trustee;
(vi) to make any other provisions or amendments with respect to matters or
questions arising hereunder or under the Equipment Notes, or to amend, modify or
supplement any provision hereof or thereof, so long as such action shall not
adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders, the Policy Provider or any
Liquidity Provider; (vii) to correct or amplify the description of any property

E Trust and to make changes relating thereto, provided that (A) the Company
shall have obtained written confirmation from each Rating Agency that the
issuance of the Series E Equipment Notes would not result in a reduction of the
rating for any class of Pass Through Certificates that is then rated below the
then current rating for such class of Pass Through Certificates (without regard

unless there shall have been obtained from each Rating Agency written
confirmation that a supplemental agreement described in any of clauses (i)
through (xiv) of this Section 9.01 would not result in a reduction of the rating
for any class of Pass Through Certificates that is then rated below the then
current rating for such class of Pass Through Certificates (without regard to
the Policy in the case of the Class G Certificates) or a withdrawal or
suspension of the rating of such class of Pass Through Certificates, if any Pass
Through Certificates are then outstanding, the Company shall provide each
relevant Pass Through Trustee with an opinion of counsel (y) if an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to the effect that such
supplemental agreement will not cause the relevant Pass Through Trust to become
an association taxable as a corporation for United States federal income tax
purposes or (z) in other circumstances, to the effect that such supplemental
agreement will not cause the relevant Pass Through Trust to be treated as other
than a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes.

         Section 9.02. Amendments to this Indenture with Consent of Holders. (a)
With the written consent of a Majority in Interest of Noteholders, the Company
may, and the Loan Trustee shall, subject to Section 9.06, at any time and from

or to change or eliminate any provisions of this Indenture or of any such
supplemental agreements or to modify in any manner the rights and obligations of
the Company, the Loan Trustee and of the Noteholders under this Indenture;
provided, however, that without the consent of each Noteholder affected thereby,
each Liquidity Provider and the Policy Provider, an amendment under this Section
9.02 may not:

                  (1)  reduce the principal amount of, interest on, or
         Make-Whole Amount with respect to, any Equipment Note;

                  (2)  change the date on which any principal amount of,

         is due or payable;

                                       76
<PAGE>

                  (3)      create any Lien with respect to the Collateral prior
         to or pari passu with the Lien thereon under this Indenture except such
         as are permitted by this Indenture, or deprive any Noteholder of the
         benefit of the Lien on the Collateral created by this Indenture;

                  (4)      reduce the percentage of the outstanding principal
         amount of the Equipment Notes the consent of whose holders is required
         for any such supplemental agreement, or the consent of whose holders is
         required for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of this
         Indenture or of certain defaults hereunder or their consequences
         provided for in this Indenture; or

                  (5)      make any change in Section 4.05 or this Section 9.02,
         except to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture
         cannot be modified or waived without the consent of each Noteholder
         affected thereby.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) neither the Company nor the Loan Trustee
shall enter into any amendment, waiver or modification of, or supplement or
consent to, this Indenture or any other Operative Document other than the
Participation Agreement (which is addressed in Section 9.03) which shall reduce,
modify or amend any indemnities in favor of the Policy Provider or any Liquidity
Provider without the consent of the Policy Provider or such Liquidity Provider,
as the case may be, (ii) no amendment under this Section 9.02 may make any
change in Section 2.14 without the consent of the Policy Provider and each
Liquidity Provider, to the extent any of such Persons is affected thereby, (iii)
no amendment under this Section 9.02 may remove the Policy Provider or any
Liquidity Provider as a "Specified Person" or an "Indenture Indemnitee" without
the consent of the Policy Provider or such Liquidity Provider, as the case may
be, and (iv) without the consent of each holder of an affected Related Equipment
Note then outstanding, no amendment, waiver or modification of the terms hereof
shall reduce the amount payable with respect to such Related Equipment Note, or
the date on which any amount is payable with respect to such Related Equipment
Note, pursuant to Section 2.10(b), 2.10(c), 2.10(e) or 3.04 or deprive any
Related Noteholder of the benefit of the Lien of this Indenture or the
Collateral, except as provided in Section 2.06 or in connection with the
exercise of remedies under Article IV hereof.

         (b)      It is not necessary under this Section 9.02 for the
Noteholders to consent to the particular form of any proposed supplemental
agreement, but it is sufficient if they consent to the substance thereof.

         (c)      Promptly after the execution by the Company and the Loan
Trustee of any supplemental agreement pursuant to the provisions of this Section
9.02, the Loan Trustee shall transmit by first-class mail a notice, setting
forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental agreement, to all
Noteholders, as the names and addresses of such Noteholders appear on the
Equipment Note Register. Any failure of the Loan Trustee to

                                       77

<PAGE>

mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair
or affect the validity of any such supplemental agreement.

         Section 9.03. Amendments, Waivers, Etc. of the Participation Agreement.
Without the consent of a Majority in Interest of Noteholders, the respective
parties to the Participation Agreement may not modify, amend or supplement such
agreement, or give any consent, waiver, authorization or approval thereunder,
for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or
eliminating any of the provisions thereof or of modifying in any manner the
rights of the respective parties thereunder; provided, however, that, without
the consent of the Loan Trustee or any Noteholder, the Participation Agreement
may be modified, amended or supplemented in order (i) to cure any defect or
inconsistency therein or to cure any ambiguity or correct any mistake, (ii) to
amend, modify or supplement any provision thereof or make any other provision
with respect to matters or questions arising thereunder or under this Indenture,
provided that the making of any such other provision shall not materially
adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders or (iii) to make any other
change, or reflect any other matter, of the kind referred to in clauses (i)
through (xiv) of Section 9.01. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the
consent of the applicable Liquidity Provider, the Company shall not enter into
any amendment, waiver or modification of or supplement or consent to the
Participation Agreement which shall reduce, modify or amend any indemnities in
favor of any Liquidity Provider contained therein.

         Section 9.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents. Until an amendment or
waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Noteholder is a continuing
consent by the Noteholder and every subsequent Noteholder, even if notation of
the consent is not made on any Equipment Note.

         Section 9.05. Notation on or Exchange of Equipment Notes. The Loan
Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment or waiver on any
Equipment Note thereafter executed. The Loan Trustee in exchange for such
Equipment Notes may execute new Equipment Notes that reflect the amendment or
waiver.

         Section 9.06. Trustee Protected. If, in the reasonable opinion of the
institution acting as Loan Trustee hereunder, any document required to be
executed by it pursuant to the terms of Section 9.01 or Section 9.02 adversely
affects any right, duty, immunity or indemnity with respect to such institution
under this Indenture, such institution may in its discretion decline to execute
such document.

upon payment in full of only the amounts specified in clause (x) of the
